In broad daylight, right under everyone's nose, a yellow hair boy delinquent openly threatened Fujii Shu in front of a crowd.
Yet, the bystanders remained indifferent, and even the teacher on duty at the school gate turned a blind eye.
"Hey, Takahashi, stop just talking!"
"Show him what you got, Takahashi!"
"How about we beat him so bad he starts barking like a dog, hahaha!"
The atmosphere among the delinquents was heated as they laughed and cheered.
The delinquent named Takahashi was pushed to the forefront but wore a smug expression.It seems like druging to high.
"Oiii-, did you hear that? Now add one,you're gonna bark like a dog!"
"First--- kneel and apologize!"
Takahashi, the yellow-haired thug, swung a baseball bat violently toward Fujii Shu's shoulder!
The blow was fast and fierce, unavoidable!
Witnessing the scene, the crowd could almost foresee the gruesome spectacle of flesh and blood about to unfold. Some watched with schadenfreude, others turned away, unable to bear it, while the gang of delinquents grew even more exhilarated, as if fueled by an intoxicating rush.
Fujii Shu didn't dodge. Instead, he raised his fist.
Like a bow drawn to the limit, his fist shot out like a meteor, faster, fiercer, stronger than the bat, and landed directly on Takahashi's cheek!
"Crack—!"
The sound of breaking teeth could be heard!
That punchable face seemed to ripple wildly to the right, like a frame caught in a high-speed camera, lips flipping outward as the upper and lower teeth clattered together with a sharp "clack-clack"!
"Ahhh!"
With just one punch, Takahashi was knocked to the ground, the baseball bat flying from his hand.
The surroundings went completely silent, as if everyone was frozen in time, and the scene seemed to be captured in a still photo.
The delinquents were stunned, mouths agape, and the laughter abruptly stopped, as if they had swallowed a whole fly.
"Wrusai! Shut up!"
"Talking so big, I thought you were strong or something."
Fujii Shu expressionlessly shook his left wrist.
"Baga!!!Bastard, don't get cocky!"
"Let's all go at him, Fxxx him down!"
Seeing Takahashi's miserable state, the remaining delinquents' faces turned red with rage, eyes bulging as they charged at Fujii Shu with bats and steel pipes.
Watching the crowd surge toward him like a relentless tide, Fujii Shu's expression remained unchanged. He bent down and picked up the baseball bat lying on the ground.
His anger value surged on the system panel, like a volcano erupting!
"Come on, come on!"
Honestly, I've been beyond furious for a while!
In the next moment, all his anger transformed into power, flooding into his body.
Fujii Shu didn't retreat; instead, he charged forward, launching an assault against the crowd with the strength of one man!
"Fx--xk away!"
He swung the bat with all his might, smashing it down on the shoulder of the fastest attacker. The forceful blow landed squarely, accompanied by a guttural scream of pain. With just one strike, the man was rendered incapable of continuing the fight.
"Boom!"
A single strike hit its mark.Fujii Shu didn't give mercy, swinging again, this time at another delinquent's waist, narrowly dodging a steel pipe aimed at his thigh.
"Ha—!"
He glared fiercely at the remaining few.
"Damn it, come at me all at once!"
In a flash, two delinquents were already down. Now the four remaining delinquents had learned their lesson and split up, circling Fujii Shu from all directions.
Fujii Shu frowned, noticing the move, and quickly clicked to use the "Elixir of Iron" on the system panel.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A scorching sensation instantly flooded his heart, spreading through his veins like liquid fire, and his heart beat with overwhelming power!
With his target locked, Fujii Shu tightened his grip on the bat and struck first!
"Thud!"
With crushing physical power, Fujii Shu wielded the bat like it was nothing, knocking over one delinquent after another. Blood and foam flew in the air, and in less than half a minute, only he remained standing.
"Get lost!"
He kicked the stunned Matsui Aoi and Onodera Rei aside and walked past them toward the collapsed leader, Chiba Shino.
"Long time no see, finally,Chiba-senpai."
Fujii Shu slowly crouched down, his once handsome face now stained with blood, his school uniform wrinkled, though his sleeves remained neat as ever.
Chiba Shino's face turned pale, and she squeezed out her words between clenched teeth: "Fujii Shu…"
"Slap!"
Before she could finish, Fujii Shu slapped her across her fair face.
The slap was unusually strong, enhanced by multiple forces.
"You!"
Chiba Shino was immediately sent spinning, almost fainting as she staggered.Her long, slender legs, clad in over-the-knee socks and canvas shoes, pressed tightly together and trembled.
"Looks like you're still not convinced, huh?"
Grabbing Chiba Shino's pale chin, Fujii Shu forced her to look him in the eyes.
"Heh—" Chiba Shino sneered, her eyes filled with malicious glee.
"You wild dog, let go of my big-sis!"
A fierce voice suddenly shouted from behind.
Takahashi, who had been the first to go down, somehow managed to stand up and raised his bat to strike Fujii Shu's head!
In his enraged state, Fujii Shu felt his body tense up. He instinctively released all his anger in one explosive move and turned around, landing a HAYMAKER!
"Thud!"
"My tooth!!"
Takahashi cried out in pain as he spit blood mixed with fragments of a tooth, stumbling backward, and flying out of the circle.
"Oiii~, you're Takahashi, right?"
Fujii Shu picked up the fallen baseball bat, glaring at the yellow-haired delinquent with a face contorted in agony.
"Weren't you so cocky earlier? Now you look like a dead dog."
He stepped forward, slowly and deliberately.
"Planning a sneak attack?"
"Kneel and apologize?"
"Bark like a dog?"
"Break my legs?"
Under the watchful eyes of dozens of onlookers, Fujii Shu raised the bat high above his head!
In the next moment, the bat fell down with the weight of everyone's collective heartbeat, like a meteor crashing into the Earth!
"Boom!"
"Ahhh, my legs!!"
…
"Spit!"
Fujii Shu spat out a mouthful of blood, casually tossing the bat aside.
Looking around, the onlookers all took a fearful step back.
One man against ten, was this guy the reincarnation of Honda Tadakatsu? (Japan's greatest warrior from the Sengoku period)
Everyone mentally tagged Fujii Shu with labels like "Hidden power" and "Unbelievable strength."
Unfortunately, Fujii Shu couldn't hear their thoughts. If he did, he'd probably just shrug and say,"Eh, it's nothing. Just a level of Bruce Lee,Just one to ten."
Noticing the little time left on the system panel, Fujii Shu sighed and walked back toward the school.
"It's okay now, let's go."
He placed his hands on his bike, his handsome face smeared with blood and grime, but his eyes still as bright as ever, offering a smile that he thought looked casual.
