Seeing his two friends lose their fighting ability in an instant, the shortest man was stunned and began to hesitate in his heart whether to flee immediately or choose to fight to the death to avenge his comrades.
And this moment of hesitation allowed Ayanokouji to approach him. He immediately raised his hand, grabbed his throat, and lifted him like garbage.
The robber's hands flailed wildly, trying to free himself from Ayanokouji's grip, but to him, that palm was like a noose, completely inescapable.
He looked into Ayanokouji's face, but there was still no change in expression, and he couldn't even sense a killing intent. This instead filled his heart with terror, as if he were merely an ant.
Soon, his mouth frothed, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted from suffocation. Ayanokouji also released his hand just in time, without taking the man's life.
Ayanokouji was skilled in martial arts and biology, clearly knowing that when violent resistance increased oxygen consumption, a person would fall into a coma within thirty seconds to a minute.
For him, the third robber posed no threat at all, but considering the other side might still call for reinforcements, he would not give the other side a chance to escape. Moreover, he could easily take the lives of these three people, but he refrained from doing so to avoid further trouble.
From start to finish, Ayanokoji took less than two minutes.

"Wow, amazing!"
Seeing Ayanokouji easily defeat three people on the screen, the students in the class couldn't help but exclaim.
Although earlier when they saw Ayanokouji compete with Elsa, they already knew that Ayanokouji had excellent strength, it seemed his power was just at level one among the top species because Elsa was too strong.
Only when they saw him defeat three robbers in an instant did they realize how terrifying Ayanokouji's actual combat power was.
They didn't know that Ayanokouji's combat power had reached its peak among ordinary humans.
Sudou Takeru, who had previously had conflicts with Ayanokouji, was now very scared for provoking such a terrifying person.
And according to the narration, Ayanokouji in the video was worried about getting more trouble from killing people. In other words, if there were no guards or other disruptors, could he have killed those people one by one?
Even Sudo, who was always carefree, couldn't help but swallow hard and look towards Ayanokouji.
Although Ayanokouji had said several times that the person in the video was not him, the calm expression on his face was exactly the same as in the video.
Is this person... really a monster hiding under human skin?

In another world, sitting in his garden residence, Roswaal squinted his eyes and looked at the scene in the sky with curiosity.
"So... Is this the power that can fix the world!?"
Roswaal said to himself, knowing that at a certain time, someone from another world with the power to change the world would visit this world.
When he saw Ayanokouji in the picture, he knew this was the person he wanted and the person in the prophecy.
However, Roswaal did not expect that Ayanokouji was so wise, nor did he expect the other party to have the ability to turn back time.
But at this moment, he was a bit curious about what Ayanokouji would do next.
He seemed to be waiting for Felt's arrival?
Was there a reason why he was doing this?
❰❱SKY SCREEN❰❱
After dealing with the three robbers, Ayanokouji did not choose to leave but stood at the entrance of the alley as if waiting for something.
"About thirty seconds left." He whispered to himself in a low voice.
He was waiting for Felt's arrival. At the same time, he could already hear familiar footsteps approaching, quickly proving that the person coming was Felt. At this moment, she should be stealing Emilia's badge and escaping here.
And she was his target.
Ayanokouji took care of the three robbers before Felt arrived so he could wait for her arrival without any disturbance, then retrieve the badge.
In this way, he could approach again in the name of helping Emilia get her badge back and even sell the favor to her.
Although he was killed by Elsa not long ago, for Ayanokouji, Emilia had irreplaceable value.
Emilia had a simple personality and was very easy to control. And most importantly, she was the heir to the throne. As the heir, Emilia was supported by a border noble named Roswaal. This also meant that Emilia had high status and power in this place, which was very important for Ayanokouji.
In the last regression, Ayanokouji had learned from passersby and Emilia that the country was at a critical point. The previous king suddenly died, and four candidates were competing for the throne to manage the country, but various forces had entangled in the kingdom, causing great chaos.
As a traveler, Ayanokouji had no identity in this world. It could be said that he was a complete 'illegal immigrant.' During this sensitive period, he was most likely to be regarded as a suspicious person by the kingdom's society, which would bring him great trouble.
Moreover, basic needs, food, housing, and transportation were not yet met. It was very difficult for an outsider without an identity to survive in the royal capital during an emergency.
If he could get close to Emilia, it was like finding a strong supporter, and Ayanokouji could arrange a suitable identity for himself, and then use Emilia's rights and wealth to ensure that his life had the most basic protection and comfort in the royal capital and gather information so that he could understand the world further.
It would be a shame to give up his tool so easily.
In a sense, approaching and using Emilia was the most appropriate choice.
But Ayanokouji also knew very well that this choice also had risks—this meant he would face Bowel Hunter Elsa again.
From the last regression, he had realized that Elsa had a very clear goal.
Emilia was her target. The others, including Ayanokouji himself, were only dragged away from the slums by Emilia, the other party might pursue him, and conflict with Elsa was inevitable.
Elsa's strength and speed far exceeded the range of humans. Whether it was Ayanokouji as the peak of humans, Rom as a giant, or Emilia as the Mage, none could match her.
However, if everyone fought together, Elsa might be defeated.
In the last regression, the most critical reason why Ayanokouji and the others were defeated by Elsa was that Elsa launched an attack when they were unprepared, killing the strongest among them instantly, and the unarmed Ayanokouji could not support Rom and Felt, resulting in their defeat one by one. But at the time Emilia, the strongest combat power, was lost, even if he held a weapon, the three of them would not be a match for Elsa if they joined forces.
It could be said as the first kill.
This time, Ayanokouji already knew Elsa's existence and her attack methods.
Moreover, in the last regression, he also learned that Puck's strength was far superior to Emilia's. If they could fight Elsa before Puck slept at five o'clock, they would have another chance, then Elsa would lose.
Regarding who hired Elsa, Ayanokouji would naturally find out.
Approaching Emilia was a choice that involved risks and benefits, but for Ayanokouji, the benefits were enough for him to take the risk.
So when he met the three robbers again, he made this decision.
The end of the last regression was the first failure in Ayanokouji's history, which gave him a strange feeling he had never experienced before.

"A bold choice, like a gamble!"
At Hyakkaou Private Academy, a girl sat in front of the TV, watching the scene on the screen with enthusiasm.
She was tall, with long black hair cascading down to her waist, her smooth face adorned with ruby-like eyes.
She wore a red school uniform with a black collar on her upper body, and under her checkered JK skirt, she wore black stockings. Though no skin was exposed, those pantyhose emitted a deadly allure, like a venomous snake with colorful scales.
Jabami Yumeko.
"What will happen next? I can't wait to see it!"
A happy smile appeared on Yumeko's face, wishing she could also enter the TV world.

"Is this person using Lia as his tool?!"
Puck looked at the scene in the sky, her eyebrows furrowed, and there was no anger in her words.
"Lia, you really can't trust this person."
"Um..."
Emilia nodded, with a bit of confusion in her eyes. Although she was a little displeased that Ayanokouji was using her as a tool, she was more confused about why Ayanokouji experienced death.
Moreover, when he was killed by Elsa before, Ayanokouji had no emotions, no fear, and no desire to live, like a walking corpse.
Could it be said that this person had no feelings?
With this suspicion in her mind, Emilia felt a slight sense of pity in her heart.

As the footsteps drew closer, Ayanokouji began to hold his breath, ensuring he wouldn't make any sound. He then timed it perfectly and dashed out from the corner of the alley.
"Ah!?"
A girl named Felt happened to arrive at that corner at the same moment and was startled by Ayanokouji's sudden appearance. He grabbed her wrist and twisted her joint so she couldn't break free.
