The thought of the impending storm made him feel utterly exhausted.
After all, no matter how much trouble Yato causes, he is still a student of Shuchiin Academy.
At that time, it will be either Dazai or someone else.
They all assumed that they were the ones who instructed him behind the scenes.
And he has this kind of 'previous record'.
It's hard for others not to believe it.
But that's what it says.
We have no choice but to take the blame for this.
After all, even if there were no debts, Shuchiin Academy doesn't have a tradition of abandoning enrolled students; at least, that doesn't exist on his side.
"As expected, my time as principal is coming to an end... In that case, let me do my part for you one last time before I retire."
Chapter 45
Leaving the principal's office, Yato walked slowly down the corridor.
The school has already arranged for him to take leave.
As an injured person, there is no need for me to go to the classroom to listen to the teacher's instructions.
But then again, the fact that I was assigned to Class A and the club matters were all due to that old man, the principal, giving me all this nonsense behind the scenes.
"That old geezer probably knows what I'm planning to do, too bad I didn't get to see his bitter face."
Yato thought to himself with schadenfreude.
He felt that the composition of Class A was a bit strange. Now it seems that it was clearly Adolf's doing. He just didn't know what his real purpose was. It couldn't just be a simple case of bad taste, could it?
As for the club, Yato felt that it was probably the old man's sense of responsibility as a teacher that was acting up, trying to use the club to occupy his spare time and indirectly distract him from participating in the world of martial arts.
For a moment, Yato didn't know whether to praise Adolf for being dutiful or to say that he was meddling.
"In short... let me take this opportunity to make my point. Don't blame me, Principal, since you're also in the opposition, I'll do what you can't do."
"I wonder how much reward I can get from the final test... Time is running out, and the higher-ups won't make a move at this time for no reason. Perhaps the Kengan Tournament is not far from starting, so I need to speed up my pace of becoming stronger. Otherwise, even if the mission rewards are incredibly generous, I won't have the ability to take them."
Yato thought to himself expressionlessly.
Sunlight streamed through the corridor windows, casting his shadow long, as if it were about to cover the existing carpet...
……
Back to the clubrooms in the old school building.
Yato could clearly sense a hint of life returning to the place.
It's completely different from when it was placed before.
Even as soon as he entered the room, he saw a tall, slender figure curled up on the sofa, fast asleep.
But Yato's arrival alerted the enemy.
"...?"
Tenyu Zanzan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Yato.
Yato returned the gaze.
The two of them watched each other for a while.
Tenyu slowly sat up, stretched, and her exquisite figure, outlined by the soft black sailor uniform, exuded a charm far beyond her years. In Yato's eyes, she was as elegant and languid as a black Persian cat basking in the sun.
After stretching, he casually said:
"I thought you, as the president, were planning to abandon the club after just starting it."
"Well, something came up unexpectedly."
Yato closed the door.
"You are hurt?"
Tianyu seemed to have noticed something from his actions. Her beautiful eyes narrowed, and her entire aura changed instantly. Her laziness vanished, and her tone turned icy.
"Who did it?"
"It's normal to get injured as a fighter." Yato ignored her tone, went to the kitchen, found the kettle, and prepared to make a cup of coffee.
Compared to black tea, a popular drink in elite schools, he preferred milk with coffee, which tasted a bit like drinking Want Want milk and was simply irresistible.
To Yato's surprise, both the kettle and tea set were ready, indicating that either Yukino or Amane had started using the kitchen while he was away.
"Although I don't know much about the world of combatants, someone who could injure you must be no ordinary person, right?"
Perhaps realizing that his reaction was a bit too extreme, Tianyu softened his tone, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, pretending to be very interested.
"I'm only saying this to you, don't tell Yukinoshita, that guy's values still need correction." While waiting for the water to boil, Yato returned to the sofa and sat down, rubbing his stiff shoulders. "The guy we encountered this time was a bit too strong, and since it wasn't a normal match, I almost got taken out there."
"Don't die before I beat you."
Tenyu glared at Yato, her tone harsh.
"Don't worry, I haven't learned the secret techniques of the ground from you yet."
Yato said with a smile.
"Hmph, if we're really going to talk about it, I was the one who learned your kicking technique first."
Tianyu tossed her hair and let out a disdainful snort.
But then, he couldn't suppress his curiosity.
He asked casually, "Speaking of your kicking technique, you must have created it yourself, right? In the schools I know, even the ancient ones, none have such exaggerated kicking speed as you."
"It is indeed my own creation, and I named it 'Storm Foot'."
Yato answered without hesitation.
Although he was drawn by the system, he trained it through his own abilities, and he felt no shame at all for calling it 'self-created'.
"'Storm Kick'? To be honest, I'm not particularly interested in kicking techniques. My best skill is hand techniques."
Tianyu said with little interest.
"You want to learn, but you can't."
Yato chuckled.
The principle behind "Storm Kick" is simple, but it's something that normal people absolutely cannot do.
Because the body doesn't support it.
The reason he was able to use it was mainly due to the system's successful modifications.
It can be said that his current physique is almost identical to that of the original inhabitants of the One Piece world.
Aside from himself, Yato really didn't think anyone else could learn it.
However, Tianyu is a genius.
You should be able to learn at least a little bit of the basics, right?
He thought so.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the department door.
Yato raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat puzzled.
As for Yukino, he has already given her the key.
Tianyu also has it.
Therefore, the person knocking on the door can only be an 'outsider'.
"Who are you……?".
Chapter 46
Kaguya Shinomiya felt that she would never come to the old school building again in her entire life.
It wasn't because they disliked the old school building, but because an annoying woman had turned it into her base.
For Kaguya, if she absolutely had to come...
Either to declare war, or to legitimately seize the last remaining 'assets' of the victor.
There is no third possibility.
However, that woman graduated beautifully, without giving her a chance for revenge.
Although she could vent her anger on the other party's "remnants," Kaguya couldn't bring herself to do such a thing, so she could only swallow her resentment and turn it into nourishment for her own growth.
I thought this kind of life would continue until graduation, but...
"If only we had gone through the student council, we should have tried to get the ownership of the old school building back!"
Kaguya felt immense regret.
She only went to the karate club for student council work, but ended up getting caught up in its internal strife... No, that's not quite right. After all, given her status and influence, the internal strife of a mere club would have to avoid her. However, this time a small accident occurred, forcing her to come in person.
When Yato opened the door and saw the familiar face before him, he was stunned.
"you are?"
Perhaps because they were so surprised, it felt like they were meeting for the first time.
Kaguya raised an eyebrow and said in a cool, indifferent tone:
"As a student, can't you even recognize the face of the student council vice president?"
"Sorry, sorry, I'm a bit 'face-blind' and often mix people up." Yato said insincerely, "Especially since there are people wearing the same school uniform everywhere, I thought someone had come to submit a club application. I didn't expect it to be Vice President Benlin. I'm so sorry for being so rude. Please forgive me."
Kaguya's expression froze; she almost wanted to punch this person.
There were people who secretly envied and mocked her, but when it came to destructive power, all of them combined couldn't match a single sentence from this man.
When she first entered high school, she tried to run for student council president as a freshman. Unfortunately, she was not very skilled at the time, so she was taught a lesson by the previous student council president, Yukinoshita Haruno. She had to wait until the previous student council president graduated before she could run for president again, but she still lost to Amakusa Shino.
Since I was already in my second year of high school, there was no need for me to be the student council president in my third year. So I simply gave up on that idea and settled for the vice president position, which I have held ever since.
While this was impressive enough to most students, it was an indelible shame in Kaguya's heart. Two consecutive failures left her feeling powerless, and it was the first time in her life that she realized there were things she couldn't do.
As the former student council president's lover, Yato is one of the few people who knows the inside story, and could even be considered an 'accomplice of the victor'? Only someone with such a status is qualified to touch her 'scar'.
"I know you dislike me, and I hate you just as much, but I'm just helping to deliver a message out of concern for ordinary students, as a reliable student council member. If you don't want to listen, I can leave right now."
Kaguya didn't beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly.
When facing unfamiliar people, her demeanor is impeccable, and she controls the distance between strangers with great skill, almost to the point of manipulating people's hearts.
But with Yato, whom she had known for almost three years, everything she did was 'hypocritical,' so she simply spoke her mind without any formalities.
"Oh? Who is it that would make the vice president run errands for them?"
Yato showed no intention of letting the other person in, leaning his shoulder against the door frame and engaging in a casual conversation.
“A student wanted to join your club but didn’t know the exact location. After hearing that I was in the student council, he asked me for help to find it.”
Kaguya turned her head away, deliberately avoiding eye contact with him.
Because that would make her tilt her head back.
Yato, of course, couldn't understand the girl's awkward thoughts, but hearing her say that piqued his interest.
He started the fighting club on a whim, partly to fulfill a requirement, and partly to see if there were any other people like Tianyu in the school.
To become a strong person, how can one not learn from the strengths of many?
...But that's what I said; it was really just a matter of curiosity.
"So, where are the people?"
Yato craned his neck and looked down the corridor.
