Chapter 43 - Chapter 42

She immediately dashed toward me with a jab and stance ready.

"You think you're the only one who knows how to fight in this school? Well, guess what I can fight too, maybe even better than you!"

Yumiko dodged her jab, Nao swung a few more attacks, an uppercut, next a right hook, and another but Yumiko managed to see through her like glass.

"What's wrong? Just a second ago you were bragging about knowing how to fight and even fighting better than me but from the looks of it, you seem to be slower than me."

"Don't mess with me!"

Nao swiftly attempts to strike her again with a liver punch but baits her onto stepping backward and going for a straight punch to her nose.

"I got you!"

"..."

Yumiko manages to grab Nao's fist at the last second but still got her nose hit by the recoil.

"I admit that was impressive but Is that all you have?" Yumiko taunted.

"Bastard!"

Nao went blind in rage and tries to attack her again, with her fists dowsed in rage, she recklessly attacks her with no regard if she's predictable. From the start, Yumiko instinctively knew that she was going to win, no matter what happened.

Out of pity, Yumiko catches one of her reckless attacks and took her down with a shoulder throw, on the cold cement.

"Tch, Everyone! This is no time to be a pussy, Just go!" One student yelled.

Everyone screamed as they ran toward Yumiko.

One tries to stab her head with a bottle in a reverse grip, She catches the other end of the bottle, as another student approaches him from the back, she slaps her other hand holding the bottle, with the momentum of the slap, the handle of the bottle hits him in the nose.

She whacked his whole hand sideways, to disarm him and force him to let go of the bottle, breaking it as it hits him in his temple. She grabs the broken bottle mid-air and slashes the other opponent to his whole chest, with a cut that's enough to make him bleed. As he cries in pain, She tackles him and uses him as a shield to push back others in a quick motion. Using him again, She leaps using his head as a stool, grabs two other people by their hair, and shoves them to the ground.

As she landed, four people approached her, one tries to hit her with a right hook and she ducked down, the one behind her tries to attack her side with his left hook. She swiftly avoids it by moving with his attack and uses the extra momentum to hurl a haymaker at the other, Three people left. Everyone was in a stance, Simulatimously the three of them ran toward her, two people from the sides tries to grapple onto her leg, while the other dealt the blow with an unconventional downward punch, she manages to block it but was followed up by a knee kick.

She tries to walk backward from the recoil but her legs were ensnared. Without giving her a moment he grabs her by the arm and tries to pull her back while hurling for a punch but she catches it and pushes it away swiftly, followed by grabbing him by the throat, he instinctively steps back to unshackle himself but Yumiko quickly pulls up her leg and successfully free herself and strikes him with her knee on his solar plexus and strikes him again on the nose for good measure.

As she kicks the other student who was binding her other leg, the other grapples her from the back and tries to stop her but she bends her legs to fall from her back, mashing him to the ground with force, with the momentum her feet unintentionally hit the student that was binding her other leg as she bent backward, causing him to reflexively let go.

Like the wind, she stood up and kicks him on his cheek while he was still on the ground.

The fight went on and on for a handful of minutes before it was broken up by the teachers that were notified by students who were passing by.

Upon arriving they witnessed Yumiko Stepping on a student's unconscious head with piles of other unconscious bodies surrounding all around her while holding two other unconscious students by their hair, covered in their blood. They were still some others who were still standing as she wasn't able to knock them all in time. Afterward, the whole school eventually found out what took place at the schoolyard, people didn't seem to believe what happened at first, considering Yumiko and Nao were very close friends for a long time, but everyone eventually found out Nao's true personality as well and what she did with the proclaimed donations as well."

As Nao walked through the hallways of the school, she could hear the whispering and muttering of her classmates.

"To think she would do that..."

"Disgusting..."

"The worst..."

Nao felt shame from their piercing stares as she walked every time in the school hallway, eventually, she managed to endure it but she was left alone and shamed for the rest of the school year. On the other hand, Yumiko's reputation in school hasn't changed that much as she was still by herself in school but people now know that Yumiko singlehandedly defeated several students all attacking her at the same time, all kinds of rumors started to spread, some people decided to follow her wanting to become stronger by watching her fight closely and with the possibility of taking them and teaching them.

Yumiko didn't mind people following her but she kept a close eye on them in case one of them are holding a grudge against her.

When her parents were called into the counselor's office, Nao's parents were also called. Both of them argued but in the end, Nao's parents didn't want to believe that their daughter would do that. Yumiko's parents, on the other hand, didn't bat an eye but somewhat praised her for fighting.

"So you beat them all up?" Her father asks.

"Most of them, Until the teacher stopped us." She replied.

"...After going to your school, I seem to understand what led to that fight from what I heard from your classmates, Is it true?"

"Yes, father."

"...I'm glad you didn't let them trample all over you when they tried to fight you, You did well. But if you were to become obsessed with fighting and establishing a gang of your own or anything related to that, I won't stop you, Our family has a long history of being an influential yakuza gang and it still lives until today, it was only forced into becoming a legal business but even so, we still kept our yakuza bloodline alive. Until you are ready to inherit it, You can make a gang of your own and do whatever you want to show that you are worthy."
