Explosion! Explosion! Explosion!
No one expected this stranger, who had come to see a senpai, to ask such a question. The male members of the Kendo Club were stunned into silence, while the girls reacted with open indignation. What was wrong with this guy?! How could he ask senpai something like that?!
That was simply too much.
As for Tosaka Fuyuka, the person involved, she felt a powerful shock rush through her, her ears ringing nonstop. Under Kazuma's curious gaze, her cheeks gradually flushed red, her expression slowly shifting into one of embarrassed indignation.
"Hey! What are you saying to Touka?!"
Miyajima Sakura, who had just arrived, happened to hear Kazuma's words. The Kendo Club president—and Tosaka Fuyuka's close friend, a second-year senpai—immediately stepped forward to defend her. "I can't pretend I didn't hear that. You were far too rude to Touka. Apologize immediately!"
"I can apologize. So, Tosaka-senpai, are you a virgin?"
"…"
"…"
"…"
This person is insane!
Yet strangely, despite such a rude question, Tosaka Fuyuka wasn't particularly angry. Aside from embarrassment, she felt a faint sadness—an inexplicable heaviness settling in her chest. Why was this happening? What was wrong with her?
Miyajima Sakura, however, was far angrier than Tosaka Fuyuka. "What exactly are you trying to do?! What's your name? What class are you in?"
"You're so annoying," Kazuma replied, his attention fixed solely on Tosaka-senpai, sounding slightly impatient with the woman beside him.
"…"
He actually called me annoying?
Miyajima Sakura prided herself on having a good temperament. As the Kendo Club president, she never acted overbearing. Like Fuyuka, she was usually gentle by nature. But this guy was truly infuriating!
Her beautiful face flushed red, then pale, her delicate features tightening with frustration. The indignant girl suddenly drew her bamboo sword. She didn't attack, but instead pointed it at Kazuma and declared, "I challenge you to a duel!!"
"Unless you defeat me, don't even think about bothering Touka again!"
Only then did Kazuma notice that she was also wearing Kendo Club attire. Hmm? Miyajima Sakura? I see… she's also a heroine.
In the past, Kazuma would definitely have refused. But now, a faint smile appeared on his lips. "A Kendo Club match? Interesting. Alright, I accept."
"Wait, Sakura…"
Tosaka Fuyuka tried to stop her, but Miyajima Sakura held her back. "Don't worry, Touka. I may not be your match, but dealing with him shouldn't be a problem. I won't let him bother you anymore."
Tosaka Fuyuka opened her mouth, wanting to say: I'm not worried about you losing. I'm worried about you hurting him. But why? Why would I worry about him getting hurt?
She watched blankly as Kazuma walked toward the center of the dojo, her gaze fixed on him without blinking. Her chest felt tight, as if something were blocking her heart, leaving her uneasy. She could only stand quietly at the side, watching Miyajima Sakura and Kazuma face each other.
The surrounding Kendo Club members also fell silent, yet none of them believed their president would lose.
Are you kidding? Miyajima-senpai is the Kendo Club president! Even as a girl, her strength surpasses most boys! In school, she ranks second only to Tosaka-senpai.
There was no way that guy could win.
"Aren't you going to change into a Kendo Club uniform?"
"No need," Kazuma replied, holding a sword in his hand.
"You're not using a bamboo sword? You're going to fight with a toy?"
To everyone else, the sword in Kazuma's hand looked like nothing more than a toy. But to him, it was the very reason he dared accept the challenge.
[Famous Sword, Electro-Light Orb]
"No need. This is enough."
"…"
Miyajima Sakura's expression darkened. She felt as though she was being underestimated.
Since he insisted, Miyajima Sakura didn't press the matter further. Instead, she resolved to make him suffer a little.
Holding her bamboo sword firmly, the Kendo Club girl stared straight into Kazuma's eyes. Then she stepped forward and swung. There was no complicated technique—just a clean, straightforward vertical strike, accompanied by her sharp shout.
"Haa—!"
Good spirit.
But—
Bang!
The toy sword stopped firmly in front of him, effortlessly blocking Miyajima Sakura's attack. The Kendo Club president's eyes narrowed. She didn't retreat; instead, she followed up with a faster second strike, then a third.
The bamboo sword sliced through the air, leaving faint afterimages. The sound of cutting wind and clashing weapons echoed throughout the dojo. The spectators' expressions gradually shifted into shock and disbelief.
Their mouths hung open wide enough to fit an ostrich egg.
Even Miyajima Sakura herself stared at Kazuma in disbelief as she fought. Standing calmly at the center of her storm-like attacks, he blocked every strike again and again—even though his stance clearly belonged to a complete amateur.
This guy clearly knew nothing about kendo. Not only Miyajima Sakura, but every club member present could see it. Even a beginner would have a better grip and posture than him.
And yet, this amateur was repeatedly stopping the president's attacks. It was unbelievable. The onlookers held their breath, staring in stunned silence. As for Tosaka Fuyuka, her eyes now shimmered with a strange light.
She hadn't expected him to be capable of something like this.
She could tell that even she wouldn't be able to fight so effortlessly.
Yes—effortlessly. She could see that the boy wasn't using his full strength at all. He looked as if he were merely playing around. His true strength… might even surpass her father's.
Kazuma: Do you understand the value of the Famous Sword, Electro-Light Orb?!
Simply put, this item was equivalent to an automated combat AI—a complete cheat. If Nobita could defeat Miyamoto Musashi with it, then it was easy to understand just how overwhelmingly powerful the Electro-Light Orb truly was.
