Bullies who aren't smart don't always have a good idea of who is stronger than them or not. And you are already very smart Kotomi-chan. [If slightly naive to the world in a way that worries him.]
But my kind of training is physical self-defense and defense of others. I think some bullies would be deterred by means other than brute strength, if you're smart enough to find it, you could try one of those. Like tricking them into something else or talking them out of it. Seeing to what a bully fears most and using it is very effective. But bullies are as varied as anyone else, some of them will lash out at someone when they know they're stronger or smarter.
