Migi: [I'm magic too, you bastard!]
I screamed out loud as I stepped forward confidently. His friends were down on my feet, unconscious.
He wasn't even concerned about them when he launched that supernatural attack from earlier.
I had a few hits from them but with the hellish conditioning I went through in weeks with that monster of a mentor, Mendou, I became much better at receiving them.
I became much stronger. Probably far stronger than I think.
Yuji: [Tsk! Don't be too full of yourself!]
He would dash right towards me at an inhumane speed, then perform a roundhouse kick with his right foot.
I could see it, but it was too fast for me to dodge, I didn't have that kind of reaction to respond properly so I only raised my hands to cover my torso.
Yuji: [Fool!]
But then, Yuji would shout out as his kick changed direction midway, hitting me in the neck.
Migi: [——GUAACK!]
It threw me back as I rolled sideways into the wall, but I was able to stand up even though my feet trembled.
I didn't expect his kick to change direction. If I were to receive that one more time, I'd get knocked out.
It's like he's going to kill me.
I should keep my distance for now so I can recover.
Yuji: [Oh? You're wary of it now, aren't you? I'm only using my feet. I don't want my hands to get dirty now."
Migi: [Feet, huh? What kind of martial art was that? That was quite interesting.]
Yuji: [Oh, that? If you mix taekwondo with kickboxing, you might know. But I also call it the Guillotine. The next time I kick, your head will be rolling.]
He said that but slowly, I could see some kind of dark shadow envelop his right shin, a blade-like shape that was erected from it.
He wasn't joking. He might just decapitate me with that. Blocking wouldn't be an option anymore.
Just what the hell did I get myself into?
But this was somehow expected.
Migi: [I told you earlier. I'm also magic.]
Clocking my fists back, I tightened my knuckles as it slowly glows. An aura of golden light would envelop it.
This is awesome, they look like golden holographic gloves!
Yuji: [Hmph. Simply fortifying your punches wouldn't block my kicks!]
Dashing once more, Yuji was doing the same mode. He would twist and turn his body to move the momentum into his right foot and kick me in the neck.
But who are we kidding? There's no way this guy would do the same move twice when I already read it. He's smart, so be thinking that I'll just dodge.
Migi: [Hup.]
I used my right elbow to block his leg whilst protecting my neck.
Yuji: [Fool! You fell for it again!]
He would lower his kick, but apparently, his other shin had the same magic on it, and the right side of my neck was open.
And of course, I let it be open.
To outwit a smart guy, you just have to become predictable for a few moves, then slap them with something unexpected!
Migi: [Weave!]
I would weave and rotate to face the kick, and with my punch against his shin, Yuji's face told everything.
Yuji: [You dumb fuck! You think you can hit my——]
My punch would only break through the darkness, shattering his shin into two.
Migi: [——Wha?!]
I didn't expect it to break but I knew that my punch would at least break the darkness and stop it.
Seeing it fly black like a ragdoll with Yuji shouting out in pain, I felt a really weird sensation in my stomach.
Yuji: [——@##%@%$!]
He screamed out in curses, but I only stood there, surprised at my strength.
All I knew at that moment, was that this thing that I have, is a magic punch. If I can remember correctly, it was called...
Migi: [——Breaker.]
I would blow on my knuckles as I hopped side to side, taunting Yuji who was on the ground, holding his internally fractured shin.
He was screaming and crying too much that I can't even try to talk to him.
Migi: [H-Hey... Can you just try to not——]
I tried to go closer but soon enough, someone heard his screams.
???: [——Hey! Is someone there?!]
An old man would suddenly appear out of nowhere, running at us.
I have to get out of here. Being seen is the least of what I want to happen!
I'll use that last thing that Mendou taught me!
Migi: [C-Conceal!]
As I ran, I was able to see my body become invisible as it was enveloped in a blue outline. It was an unusual feeling to not see my feet, but if concentrated enough, I can see my outline.
Without looking back, I fled the scene.
Maybe I wouldn't be flagged down after assaulting someone, right? I didn't even touch him. No one would believe his story even!
Like how can someone break someone's shin into two using their fists, right?
I'm just actually anxious that I might get in trouble. But, I'll just ask Mendou just in case.
This just means I can protect Mayu with this.
Migi: [Alright. I just assaulted someone. I hope I won't get in trouble. I'll punch that guy if I do!]
***
Mendou: [That was incredibly tiring.]
Going home with a few paper bags in tow, I was just gifted with not only a new suit but also new sets of outfits I'd have to wear if I wanted to have a girlfriend.
Wouldn't girls prefer boys who are true to themselves? I wondered that but maybe they do like to look at our fashion sense as well.
I mean, no one would want to hang out with a guy who dresses like he just woke up.
I mean, I do sometimes go to the supermarket in my home clothes. It's a hassle to change.
Mendou: [Ah. I forgot to check up on him. He might already be done——]
After slouching into the sofa that embraced me, I picked up my phone only to see it was ringing.
It was Najimi who was calling. I mean, the name is literally Najimi. I didn't know he had a phone or someone else on his family is calling me.
I'm not sure myself.
Mendou: [H-Hello? This is the Mendou Residence?]
Najimi: [Why are you speaking like that?]
Mendou: [Oh. Thank goodness, it's you. How the hell are you calling? I thought you didn't have a phone?]
Remember, Najimi was prohibited by his mother from having a phone. If he's calling me through one, is he finally feeling rebellious?!
Najimi: [I used our landline. Hoshoujo told me your number earlier when she passed by. She told me I can call you through the landline if I add a few numbers!]
I can't believe they still have those. Are people actually still using it?
Mendou: [O-Oh... I see. Do you need something then?]
Najimi: [Ah, yes. Actually, I might not be able to attend the school festival for the next three days. My mother had me signed up for a fashion walk in London, I really can't refuse since she already talked to the principal.]
Mendou: [What——]
Our male lead is bailing on the school festival arc?! That's impossible! Why did her mother suddenly decide that? I didn't even get a gist of that before.
Najimi: [Yeah. So, I'm actually in an airport now. We're only waiting for our private jet. I'm really sorry I wouldn't be able to join our booth! I'll make it up somehow when I get back!]
Hearing Najimi say something like that means everything wasn't in his control.
Even I would give up on convincing his mother since she's a total reign of terror.
She might be a beauty, but every beautiful rose has thorns, right? Like, very very thorny.
I wish you guys wouldn't read that wrong.
Mendou: [Alright. I understand. I'll explain the rest to our classmates so don't worry.]
I said that to lift that burden from Najimi. He shouldn't be even worried at all since no one would be angry. The girls would just be sad since they can't see him in a suit and pay him to pamper them.
But that reminds me, if Najimi is gone, would the host club even work? The girls only voted on the idea cause Najimi was there, but I guess that'll change soon.
Najimi: [Thank you! As exchange, maybe I'll have my butler Weiss fill in!]
Mendou: [N-No... That's not allowed.],
Pick anybody except for that guy. That guy's a full on playboy, and he'l just ruin the whole host club's atmosphere. He'll be the death of us.
Najimi: [A—The jet is here! I have to go now! Later!]
I heard jet engines from the background before he hang up. It's not that I didn't believe him and was skeptical.
I was just speechless as how could their family go such lengths just to show off their wealth in the first place.
Mendou: [Geez. I can't believe this guy. He just hang up——]
Looking back at my phone, I saw something.
Apparently, whilst in the call with Najimi, Migi had been trying to call me.
???: [Yes. Why did you hang up on me, teach?]
Mendou: [—Wha?!]
I turned around quickly in a ridiculous stance.
Someone was able to creep up from behind me, but there's only one person capable of that now.
Migi: [I'm gonna need a lot more than that, teach.]
