Crossover Anime: Starting with Destroying Kengan

Page 36

But even with his keen insight, he couldn't find a second person besides Kaguya.

He's still in the karate club.

Kaguya pouted.

"I was originally going to bring him to see you, but it seems that the club wouldn't allow him to leave, which led to a conflict. I guess it'll end up being a fight anyway. Since I don't have enough time to wait for them to resolve things before bringing him here, I came to let you know. You, who aren't in the student council, have no idea how busy I've been lately."

"Relying solely on that unreliable student council president to do the work is bound to cause trouble. He's about to graduate; we don't want him to end up with a bad reputation."

"..."

Yato is beyond words.

They clearly care about Amakusa Shino, but they're using such a lame excuse.

Besides, you're one of those people who's about to graduate.

However, there's no need to expose the girl's little secret.

"Okay, I've said what I needed to say. Goodbye... no, it's best if we don't see each other again before graduation."

Kaguya raised her neck, turned around, and walked away.

"Wait a moment."

Yato called her over out of some mischievous urge.

"...Is there anything else?"

Kaguya stopped and looked at him with some disdain.

Well, from a distance, you don't have to be at the mercy of others.

It seems that keeping your distance is indeed the best course of action.

She silently found another excuse in her mind to stay away from the other person, and gave herself a thumbs up for being so clever and resourceful.

"I don't know where the karate club is. Could you show me the way?"

Yato said sincerely.

"..."

clap clap.

Footsteps sounded.

Kaguya lifted her school uniform skirt and ran down the stairs without hesitation.

Yato scratched his face.

"Am I that terrible?"

"It seems that girl also has different feelings for you."

A faint voice sounded from behind.

Yato turned around and saw Tenyu standing with his arms crossed, looking at him with a half-smile, but his gaze was slightly piercing.

"By the way, don't you have classes?"

"I didn't come here to study."

Tianyu tossed her hair, her words and actions exuding a powerful and confident aura, easily attracting some indecisive girls to flock around her with hearts in their eyes, calling her "Big Sister".

"In the end, my grades weren't bad, and the school principal allowed me to skip classes."

"Really? You don't seem like the type who's good at studying."

Yato looked suspicious.

"Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant." Tianyu shrugged. "Anyway, in my opinion, this level of knowledge is far too easy to understand compared to the tutorials of ancient martial arts. It's strange that some people can't understand things even though it can explain them so simply."

"..."

"More importantly, I heard what was said earlier. Shall we go take a look together?"

Faced with Yato's speechless response, as if he were questioning his own intelligence, Tenyu revealed a smile that was both thorny and beautiful, like a rose.

"Hey, you're not thinking of going to challenge us, are you?"

Yato seemed to realize something, and frowned.

"That depends on whether the other party is worth my time. Besides, aren't you inconvenient to fight right now?" Tianyu walked leisurely out of the department office door, wearing thick-heeled boots.

"This guy……"

Yato chuckled softly.

Chapter 47

The campus of Shujiwon is as large as those renowned university towns.

The biggest difference between the old and current school buildings lies in their environment.

The two areas are separated by a grove of trees, making the environment more secluded and almost devoid of human presence.

Yato and Tenyu walked side by side along the forest path.

The two walked at a leisurely pace, more like an after-dinner stroll, without showing any sign of tension.

"You don't seem to be in a hurry at all."

Tianyu glanced at the casually dressed young man beside him.

"Why should I be in such a hurry? I'm not begging anyone to join." Yato said indifferently, "To put it bluntly, it's hard to say whether they can meet my standards."

"So we're not going to the karate club?"

"Go, why not go? I'm a little more lenient with the first prospective member who wants to join, but there's no need to rush. Didn't the vice president say that they're having an internal power struggle? Going over now would just be like watching kids fight, it's pointless."

Yato's seemingly calm tone was filled with an extremely uncomfortable indifference.

But Tianyu seemed oblivious, or perhaps he simply didn't care.

Instead, they quickly grasped the implied meaning.

"I see... So why not keep some anticipation, ignore the process, and just accept the 'result'? You really have the demeanor of a fighter. I'm growing to like you more and more~."

Tianyu's voice is different from most women's; it has a more androgynous feel and is full of magnetism. However, this doesn't make her seem like a tomboy; instead, it accentuates her mature, sophisticated aura.

Ignoring her burning gaze, which seemed both provocative and defiant, Yato stared ahead on the stone path, his steps gradually coming to a halt.

"It seems the results are in."

"Ok?"

Tianyu followed his gaze and a playful look appeared on his face.

"It seems that our club won't be getting a fourth member anytime soon."

Ask why.

At the other end of the stone path, a robust young man with silver hair limped toward us.

His white shirt had several tears, and bruises were faintly visible on his shoulder blades and neck. If one could convince oneself that these were just illusions, then the bruises and abrasions on his arms, and his face so swollen that even his family might have difficulty recognizing him, were the best irrefutable evidence of a fight.

"Hmm?"

The silver-haired youth opened his still relatively intact left eye wide.

Clearly, he had also noticed Yato and Tenyu's presence.

He glanced at Tianyu almost instantly.

It didn't leave much of an impression on my mind.

The cause of this anomaly—

"Who are you? From that time...!"

The man in front of me.

Although I was mentally prepared, I never expected that my so-called resolve and determination would be as weightless as clouds in the sky when I actually met the silver-haired youth who had been badly beaten.

The oppressive force, like sunlight, shone down on my body without restraint.

It scorches my body and soul.

Show no mercy whatsoever.

But it wasn't malicious at all.

Just pure.

...Weak 'fellow fighters' are not qualified to confront him!

"Oh, you know me?"

Yato tilted his head slightly.

Human joys and sorrows are not shared, so he could not understand how terrifying the pressure he was putting on the other person was.

--Snapped!

A sound loud enough to startle birds into flight.

I saw Narushima Kou tightly gripping his trembling arms, struggling to breathe and calm the surging tension within him.

Although the other party appeared calm, he somehow knew.

You only get one chance!

If you want to become stronger, or even surpass your opponent.

We absolutely cannot afford to fail at this crucial moment.

It doesn't matter when I embarrass myself, but only now...

boom!

Narushima Hikaru suddenly knelt down on the ground.

Grab the ground with your head.

He paid no heed to the fact that his forehead was bleeding from being hit by pebbles.

"I implore you, you must accept me as your disciple!"

"..."

"...?"

Yato and Tenyu exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion on each other's faces.

However, compared to confusion, the playful look in Tianyu's eyes grew even stronger.

Yato realized he couldn't rely on this woman anymore, so he turned his attention to the silver-haired boy who was kowtowing to him as his disciple. There was no doubt that this guy was after him.

In the eyes of the other party, Tianyu did not exist at all.

But why?

Although Tianyu was defeated in public, he shouldn't have been ignored to this extent.

In other words... the other party might know me, and not on campus.

The more Yato looked at him, the more familiar he seemed. He couldn't help but ask, "Let's put aside the matter of becoming his apprentices for now. Haven't we met somewhere before?"

"...the back alley last Saturday night."

Narushima Hikaru raised his head and took a deep breath.

He was somewhat upset that the other party didn't remember him at all, but it was nothing compared to what he had to accomplish right now.

"Oh, it's you."

Yato suddenly realized.

That day was one of the most significant turning points in his life.

Because it was that very night.

He and Wu Hori engaged in a fierce battle.
