Oshika Masaru first looked at Hayato, then at Shizunomiya Natsuki.
Then he looked at Nanao Akane.
Finally, his gaze returned to Hayato, where it had started.
The enemy is strong, I am weak.
However, Oshika Masaru's tone was still extremely tough, displaying the unique resolute demeanor of a new-era delinquent:
"What are you glaring at! I'll just scram myself!"
With that, he turned and ran, leaving behind a rather sharp silhouette for everyone.
Hayato had intended to use a "Hundred Steps Flying Sword" to strike him again.
But this guy ran quite fast, and the crowd in front of the bus stop was gradually growing. In plain sight, he could have acted, but he was still worried about causing unnecessary trouble.
Even if he wanted to take care of Oshika Masaru, the yellow-haired guy, he would have to find a suitable opportunity.
At least like how he dealt with Snake Mound George.
He then rotated the white cloth-wrapped wooden sword around his wrist once more before putting it away.
Both he and Nanao Akane knew it was a wooden sword, but others didn't, and they looked at the nimble object with curious eyes.
Oshika Masaru completely fled in disarray.
Everyone… especially the few boys closest to Hayato, who could be called "involved parties," began to stare intently at Hayato.
This naturally included Shizunomiya Natsuki.
However, Hayato had no interest in them; he merely called out to Nanao Akane: "Job done, time to go."
"Honestly…" Nanao Akane complained softly: "Kobayashi-chan, you're so impulsive again…"
"This isn't impulsiveness; it's impulsiveness if you act and don't win," Hayato said calmly. If you win, it's called "confidence."
Nanao Akane still puffed out her cheeks but didn't reprimand him further.
She had also wanted to help Shizunomiya Natsuki out of the predicament earlier.
Even if Hayato hadn't rushed out immediately, the final result would have just been him acting after speaking with her.
There was no difference.
"Who is this?" a girl close to Shizunomiya Natsuki asked Nanao Akane.
Actually, Nanao Akane had already forgotten that girl's name.
This couldn't be blamed on her; after all, Nanao Akane was known as "Nanao of Town East" in Yaso Inaba, and many people had heard of her, but Nanao Akane, who lived in Tokyo year-round, couldn't possibly remember everyone's names.
But she still responded gracefully: "His name is Hayato, and he is…"
"He's Akane's boyfriend!" Yamano Yuta immediately interjected, answering for Nanao Akane.
Although they had already anticipated this outcome, when they actually heard the answer, a strong sense of disappointment still appeared in the eyes of these girls.
The disappointment then turned into envy.
Envy towards Nanao Akane.
Nanao Akane, on the other hand, was quite appreciative of Yamano Yuta. "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for an hour."
Yuta, you've graduated!
"And, Brother Hayato is also a city person from Tokyo! He's really amazing!" When Yamano Yuta mentioned "Tokyo," he also joined the girls in their envy.
Shizunomiya Natsuki looked deeply at Hayato, first saying, "Thank you."
Hayato waved his hand. He didn't speak to Shizunomiya Natsuki or the other girls, only quietly said to Nanao Akane: "Let's get on the bus first."
Their destination wasn't this commercial street.
Qian's grandmother was still waiting for them at home.
"Mm." Nanao Akane nodded.
Perhaps it was because the excitement of watching the spectacle overshadowed their eagerness to return home.
So, although there were many students on the platform, not a single one boarded the bus.
Seeing Hayato walk towards them, they suddenly remembered they still had to go home to play games… or rather, study.
But even so, the image of him kicking Oshika Masaru away and then almost knocking out his front teeth with a punch was too deeply ingrained in their minds.
