Inuzuka Yukari caught his expression and it was clear even to her.

It seemed that no matter how tough a student is, facing over a dozen delinquents would still incite fear.

Inuzuka Yukari subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

It wouldn't be bad if Beichuan Si backed off after realizing the difficulty.

After all, both Beichuan Si and Shinkai Mirai were seniors to Otomoto Ai, and she didn't want them to look too embarrassed in front of her.

This was her small act of kindness.

Just as she was thinking this, Beichuan Si stood up as if he had finally come up with a strategy,

"Let's go, Miss Inuzuka."

Hearing these words from Beichuan Si, Inuzuka Yukari instinctively let out an "Ah?" with wide eyes, "Set off... What do you mean by set off, Senior Beichuan?"

"To the delinquent school you mentioned."

Beichuan Si spoke without a hint of emotion.

Uh—

Did... did everything I just say have no effect?!

Inuzuka Yukari couldn't help but draw a sharp breath, feeling certain that today she would see Beichuan Si get thoroughly beaten.

That was just too pitiful...

Especially for such a handsome senior.

Looking at Beichuan Si's delicate and stern face, Inuzuka Yukari inwardly sighed.

...

The high school mentioned by Inuzuka Yukari is Hirakawa Private High School, notorious throughout Yamanashi Prefecture as a den of delinquents.

According to her, the school's national exam average scores were consistently among the lowest.

It's not just poor teaching conditions; there were significant problems with both the students and the teachers.

As a school where money paved the way for enrollment, it attracted a concentration of well-off delinquents.

Because these delinquent students often came from affluent families and tended to stick together, even the teachers hesitated to cross certain students.

What is most fatal for a school? That's when the teachers lose their rightful authority.

Teachers who've lost authority can't control or discipline their students.

This is why Hirakawa Private High School's reputation has worsened and turned into the chaotic scene that it is today.

Coupled with the policy of 'pay to enroll,' the school has deteriorated further and further, with both school leadership and teachers in the same boat.

"That sounds like a pretty awful school," Beichuan Si remarked.

"The main issue is... Senior Beichuan, we might not even find that woman at Hirakawa Private."

Walking beside Beichuan Si, Inuzuka Yukari looked uneasy.

The closer they walked towards the area active with delinquents, the more graffiti and spray paint they saw.

"If we can find her, great; if not, it doesn't matter," Beichuan Si shook his head and replied.

"...doesn't that mean we have no reason to come to Hirakawa High School?"

Inuzuka Yukari opened her mouth.

Indeed, if they went by what Beichuan Si said, it wouldn't matter whether they found the person or not, so why follow him here?

"What I mean is, it doesn't matter if we can't find your brother's ex-girlfriend."

Beichuan Si paused, explaining,

"We just need to make them come to us on their own."

Make them come to us on their own? How can we do that?

Inuzuka Yukari became even more confused.

But whether she understood or not didn't matter anymore.

Because Beichuan Si had already stopped.

In front of Beichuan Si was a construction site.

Within that construction site, groups of delinquent students gathered, laughing and smoking.

Their colorful hair reminded Beichuan Si of the delinquents at Jinji High School in distant Tokyo.

He turned his head to Inuzuka Yukari, "How about it? Are they here?"

"Ah...? Let me check," Inuzuka Yukari turned to look towards the clusters of delinquents.

She quickly glanced over the crowd, finally responding, "Not here."

Then Inuzuka Yukari's expression changed as she pointed beyond Beichuan Si.

"Senior Beichuan, behind you...!"

Hmm?

Beichuan Si turned around.

During his conversation with Inuzuka Yukari, some delinquents from Hirakawa High School had already taken notice of them.

They were already closing in, somewhat encircling Beichuan Si and the others.

Their intent didn't seem like they were up for friendly chatter at all.

The delinquents were laughing as they approached; their occasional crude jokes and their malicious smiles sent shivers down Inuzuka Yukari's spine.

This was bad!

It turned out these students had no intention of talking with them at all.

Under such urgent circumstances, Inuzuka Youka seemed to faintly hear a slight voice from Beichuan Si ahead of her:

"Just right."

"Eh?" Inuzuka Youka was stunned.

Before she could ask Beichuan Si what "just right" meant...

Then...

Then she saw it—

Beichuan Si kicked the delinquent student who was leaning towards him to the ground.

And then—

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The muffled sounds of bodies and fists colliding.

The dull groans of people falling and—

The agonized screams of delinquent students being thrashed by Beichuan Si, crying for their parents.

"You bastard!"

"How dare you resist... wait! I..."

"Stop hitting! Please, please stop!"

"..."

"Uh... Ah..." Watching Beichuan Si take down the groups of delinquents with just two or three kicks and punches, Inuzuka Youka could no longer suppress her amazement, her mouth hanging open wide.

This... There are more than ten people!

How did Beichuan Si take them down so effortlessly?

Didn't even see Beichuan Si do much?

How did they just fall with their noses swollen and faces bruised?

Wait!

Eagle-eyed Inuzuka Youka suddenly saw it.

"Someone is covertly making a call to tip them off! Senior Beichuan!"

She shouted out.

"Isn't this just right?" While kicking a few more times at the tough guys on the ground still trying to resist, Beichuan Si said without looking back.

"Eh? This is also just right?"

Inuzuka Youka's hands and feet turned cold: "When they call people over, it's going to be very scary, Senior Beichuan! There might suddenly be fifty or sixty people!"

"Will their delinquent leader come?"

Beichuan Si asked indifferently in response.

"...Is now the time to be concerned about that?"

Inuzuka Youka's mouth twitched.

Seeing the serious look on Beichuan Si's face, she still sincerely answered: "So many have fallen... and besides, Senior Beichuan, you're from another school, these delinquent students will definitely come together to trouble you at a time like this, Senior Beichuan."

Although the phrase 'come together' has a feeling of 'heroes gathering to beat the Demon King,' that's exactly what was happening.

Fights within their own little group were just their own business, but when someone from outside gets involved...

The nature of the situation changes completely.

Inuzuka Youka could even imagine a large crowd surrounding this place in a while.

"Good."

Beichuan Si was relieved.

He ignored Inuzuka Youka's anxious thoughts and focused instead on hitting the delinquent students on the ground a few more times.

Especially the ones who had been telling dirty jokes to Shen Gu Mirai.

Beichuan Si almost slapped their mouths to pieces.

This intense pain had these few people with tears streaming down their faces, frantically begging Beichuan Si to stop.

But Beichuan Si paid no attention to their pleas.

He was expressionless, as if he wanted to tear their mouths off.

Seeing Beichuan Si like this, Inuzuka Youka was about to speak again but was stopped by Shen Gu Mirai.

This quirky little girl cheerfully said: "Don't bother with Mr. Temple anymore, he'll soon have everything under control."

This overly confident statement dumbfounded Inuzuka Youka.

She simply didn't understand why Shen Gu Mirai was so confident in Beichuan Si.

And so, five minutes passed.

The figures at the crossroads gradually increased.

The number of people lined up straight...

Just by giving it a rough glance—

"There, there are seventy or eighty...?"

And more people were still coming!

Inuzuka Youka's legs had already gone soft.

In this situation... What on earth should she do?!

She couldn't speak at all.
