____Hayami Katsumasa Pov____
I would have to admit, Katahara has picked a great successor to the Fangs title. It's a shame that I took too long to get my hands on the boy, he would have become a great weapon for my plans.
But it's not as if I can't get something out of it. The boy has talent, a talent I have never witnessed before. Unfortunately, from what my spies have reported, he doesn't seem like someone who can be easily corrupted.
But I don't need your mind, just your body is enough. Someone with such talent... Your DNA is not something to be lost.
"Sir, all the guardians are in place."
I heard one of my peons say, and nodded in agreement.
It's annoying that I can't beat Katahara at his own game, but I didn't come to this island with the intention of following his stupid rules anyway.
If the old man was unwilling to give in willingly, then I will gladly do so by force.
Today, the Kengan association will change forever with my management.
But first...
"Start the onslaught, take down those troublemakers, and wait for my signal to start the invasion..."
I need to knock down the pawns until I reach the king...
It is really a shame that I have to start with the boy.
.
____Narration____
There was something strange going on, Yuji could feel it. He knew very well that an invasion would eventually happen in the tournament, but he hoped that he would have at least the second round to prepare.
But something was making him uncomfortable, his instincts were telling him to constantly keep on guard, and this was definitely a bad sign.
While he ignored the chatter of the girls walking beside him, his hearing worked to try to notice any unusual sounds. If there was a lot of movement, which is what he expected for the beginning of the attack, he would be able to notice it, even with the noise of the audience making it difficult.
But the surroundings were silent, and even though this was an indication that the attack was not taking place, it was still not enough to make Yuji relaxed. He trusted his instincts, so he would not let his guard down so easily.
"Yuji, is something wrong?" Elena was the one who noticed Yuji's silence and strangeness, which immediately worried her. "Is the wound on your forehead making you uncomfortable? If so, we should go to the infirmary!"
He appreciated the girl's concern, but declined her suggestion. Saw Paing's headbutt caused only a superficial cut on his forehead, so there was no need to go to the infirmary. Besides, he didn't want to take up Hanafusa's time with something so insignificant, since he was quite busy with other injured fighters.
"I'm fine, I just have a weird feeling." Yuji commented, and Elena nodded to that, still with a worried expression. "I'm really fine."
This seemed to put Elena at ease, although she was still suspicious of the boy. After the whole situation with Mokichi, it was normal for her to become quite worried about the people close to her, even more so about Yuji, since he was also fighting in the tournament.
"Looks like a superficial cut to me." Senju moved closer, taking a look at the wound, before walking away. "Then I don't think you need to go to the infirmary, I've suffered plenty of those. One cleaning is enough."
"I will! I will cleanse Yuji with my body!" Karura exclaimed, this causing Senju to frown.
"I'm talking about his injury!"
Yuji laughed at this. This helped to lessen the sense of danger he was feeling. It was a great tension-breaker, and he thanked the two girls for it. Sometimes, focusing too much on something could make you more vulnerable.
As the group walked along, Yuji couldn't help but notice a bodyguard walking in the opposite direction from them. Initially, he didn't think much of it, but there was something about the bodyguard that was making him quite uncomfortable.
After returning to Japan, although he didn't know all the bodyguards, he was able to get a look at all of them during their training. Many of them had quite distinctive features compared to each other, such as a large hair, shaved head and so on.
But try as he might, he could not remember what this Bodyguard looked like.
And that quickly raised a red flag.
"..."
Passing the group, the bodyguard slowed his steps, his head turning to look directly at Yuji's back, who seemed oblivious to his intentions.
"Eliminate Yuji Shinakawa and bring his body."
A voice sounded from a wire in his ear, the bodyguard silently removing a knife from his waist as he began to follow Yuji's group in silent steps.
'That will be a simple job.'
The bodyguard thought, preparing to explode toward Yuji and eliminate him with a single stab to the back of his head.
"!"
But unfortunately, Yuji's hearing was too good for him not to notice the order given to the bodyguard.
Boom!
The guard choked when a punch landed on his solar plexus, he barely reacted when his throat was grabbed and his body pushed against the ground, the knife in his hands flying away as he struggled to breathe.
"As I thought." Yuji, who kept his grip on the guard's throat, spoke up. "And to think that they would infiltrate among the guards.... That's quite surprising."
The fake bodyguard tried to punch the boy's face, but his blows did not carry enough force to do any damage to Yuji.
'How careless... I was so preoccupied with my instincts that I even forgot to [Observe}.'
"What's going on?!" Senju approached, his face filling with confusion as he saw Yuji suddenly strangling someone.
"An invader. He was about to attack." But Yuji was quick to resolve the misunderstanding. "I need you to find the bodyguards and tell them that I neutralized one of the targets."
Yuji was direct, but this still left the girls confused, especially Senju, who seemed to want to question the boy.
"Now, this is not a joke." But Yuji didn't want to waste any time, and was firm in his words. The last thing he wanted, was for them to be ambushed because they took too long to act.
Senju stopped as he listened to the teenager's tone, realizing immediately that this was not a simple situation.
With a sigh, the girl frowned and turned around, nodding in agreement as she held Kou and Elena, and began to walk away quickly.
"Karura, protect them." Yuji earnestly asked the girl who had stayed behind, a mischievous smile appearing on Kure's lips as her eyes glittered dangerously.
"Are you asking me this as my future husband or...?"
"..."
He sighed, a small smile appearing on his lips. Karura was even more naughty than he believed.
"Yes, I am asking that as your future husband."
"Yes!" The girl exclaimed and jumped toward Yuji, giving him a kiss on the cheek and stepping back, a mischievous smile on her lips. "I will remember that! You can't escape me anymore!"
And with her last words, she moved forward to follow the other girls, leaving a Yuji scratching the back of his head behind.
"And to think that I would get involved with her.... Well, at least I'll be the future patriarch of the Kure clan." Shaking off the thoughts arising in his mind, he turned his attention to the invader in his hands, his eyes narrowing almost immediately. "Uh?"
"!"
Holding what looked like a grenade, the invader cracked a dangerous smile the instant Yuji turned his attention to him.
"..."
"What the hell do you want with a smoke grenade?" but Yuji was not an idiot. His travels in countries at war had made him learn to differentiate between each type of grenade.
The invader's eyes widened in pure shock at the boy's words, after all, he did not expect that a teenager would be able to differentiate an ordinary grenade from a smoke grenade.
'Fuck! I'm fucked.'
"How scary, I'll be in danger if I inhale the smoke!" Mocking the situation, Yuji raised his fist, the invader's eyes filling with dread as he realized that he would not escape that situation.
'God, if you exist, save me-'
Boom!
The fist smashed into the invader's face along with the grenade, spraying smoke all over the hallway. The invader groaned in pain as he felt the pieces sticking into the flesh of his face.
"I held my strength, so don't overdo it." Yuji stood up and wiped his fist, his eyes narrowing as he noticed footsteps approaching.
'The corridors are extensive, and the guards are usually not around the area, there's no way they could have communicated them so quickly... Shit, looks like I won't get a break until my next fight.'
