Chapter 0021: Lesson
"Fiancée?!"
I paused, a slight expression of surprise flickering across my face.
I hadn't expected that Yui, still so young, would already be engaged. And this boy in front of me—he must be at least thirteen. Thinking about his older brother's age, could this be considered a child bride situation?!
"Hey, you!" The boy clearly didn't know what was going through my mind. Seeing my silence, he frowned and asked, "Are you even listening to me?"
"Ah, sorry, I got a bit distracted," I replied, scratching my head. "If I may ask, did Yui herself agree to this engagement?"
"What do you mean by that?" The boy's face darkened, as if I had hit a nerve. "Whether Miss Yui agreed or not, what does it have to do with you?"
"Well, you're not wrong. It doesn't have much to do with me," I nodded and smiled. "Alright, I was just curious, that's all. Don't take it to heart."
"Keep your curiosity to yourself. Trash like you doesn't even deserve to be near Miss Yui," the boy snorted, a disdainful tone in his voice. "Remember what I just said, or else... don't blame me for what happens!" With that, he brushed past me without even looking at my reaction.
Ugh.
Being threatened with such sharp words made me feel a bit irritated. But, in the spirit of avoiding unnecessary trouble, I wasn't planning to take it seriously.
However, at that moment, a notification rang out in my mind.
[New options generated!]
[Host, choose one of the following options:]
[-> Option one: Teach them a lesson they'll never forget. And pass a message to his loser brother: "You dare lay your eyes on my girl? Are you tired of living?"
[-> Option two: Cut off their balls and hang them on the Uchiha clan's door as a brutal warning.]
[-> Option three: Silently squat down, take off your clothes, and offer them your dignity.]
Seriously? These options are just asking for trouble!
But I guess, it was the first time I was super excited to see them.
I rubbed my temples, feeling a headache coming on. The second and third options were out immediately. There's no way I'm cutting off someone's balls or offering up my dignity like that. Impossible.
As for the first option—there's really nothing special between me and Yui. At most, we're just friends. Why does the system act like she's my girl?!
Whatever. There's no point in complaining now.
Sighing, my eyes hardened as I turned and called out to the group walking away. "Hey, you guys, hold on a second." Even if we were destined to be enemies, my tone was no longer as polite as before.
"Oh? What do you want?" The boy still carried an air of arrogance as he looked down at me.
"Actually, it's nothing much," I scratched my head and smiled. "I just thought I'd teach you guys a little lesson. Oh, and I have a message for you to pass on to your brother."
"Teach... us?" The boy froze for a moment before glancing at his companions. They exchanged looks before bursting into laughter.
"Hahaha, is this guy an idiot?"
"Kid, do you even have all your baby teeth yet? And you want to teach us a lesson?"
"I can't! My stomach hurts from laughing. And he even wants to send a message to Danzan through Nanakawa. This is priceless!"
"I don't know who gave you the guts to say such things," the boy named Uchiha Nanakawa sneered as he glared at me. "But if you kneel down and admit your mistake right now, I might just pretend I didn't hear anything."
I shook my head seriously and replied, "Sorry, that won't work. I really do intend for you to pass the message."
"You're asking for it!" Uchiha Nanakawa's face turned grim as he stepped forward. In an instant, he was in front of me, throwing a punch straight at my face.
Smack.
His fist stopped in front of my face. To be precise, it was caught in my hand, unable to move an inch further.
"That punch of yours... is really weak," I said, shaking my head in slight disappointment. "Not just your punch, your stance is so sloppy. Have you even trained in martial arts?"
Nanakawa's face twisted with anger. "You... are you also a ninja?" He had assumed I was just an ordinary civilian kid. He hadn't expected me to catch his punch so easily.
"Technically speaking, I'm not yet a full-fledged ninja," I smiled as I shifted my stance and lightly kicked him.
Bang.
Although it didn't look like I used much force, Uchiha Nanakawa was sent flying several meters away.
"You… you… Do you realize what you've done?"
"How dare you provoke someone from the Uchiha clan! You're dead!"
"Enough talking, let's take him down first!"
The others adopted fighting stances, closing in on me from all sides.
"Oh? Trying to surround me?" I raised an eyebrow, twisting my ankle and dashing toward them. "Too bad, it's useless."
Leaf Hurricane!
In mid-air, I spun my body clockwise, whipping my right leg around like a gust of wind.
What?!
The Uchiha boys didn't even have time to react before they were sent flying in different directions by the sheer force of my kick.
