Hundred Steps Flying Sword was originally Hayato's unique skill.
Mr. Hayashi often skipped club activities, but when he did come, he never held back on sharing his sword techniques.
He was a talented person, and his voice was pleasant to listen to, so a group of fans, led by Kase Masafumi, often gathered around him, asking all sorts of questions.
Kobayashi Ayaka was not part of that group, but she still learned this technique of Hundred Steps Flying Sword.
She had good natural talent and was willing to work hard (because Hayato taught her), so while she couldn't be said to have mastered this skill perfectly, she could certainly use it with ease.
"Ah!"
The moment Hundred Steps Flying Sword left her hand, it accurately struck Oshika Masaru.
To be precise, it struck his butt crack.
Oshika Masaru's eyes bulged like a goldfish, and his wide-open mouth trembled.
He had been unlucky and beaten up these past two days, but why did she have to rub salt in the wound and specifically attack his injured spot?
To attack Oshika Masaru, one must first attack his provocative butt, right?
"Ren!" His crony turned back with concern, "Are you okay?"
"N-no, I'm fine," Oshika Masaru forced himself to say.
It wasn't stuck in deep.
He just moved a little, and the bamboo sword fell out automatically.
Oshika Masaru gritted his teeth, truly a tough man: "Don't worry about me, run!"
"No! Ren, if we go, we go together!"
Hearing his dog-friend's words, Oshika Masaru was especially touched.
But why did his buddy's voice sound so far away? And why was it getting further and further?
He looked up, and wow! His cronies had already run off and were almost halfway up the mountain!
"You motherfucker!" Oshika Masaru cursed loudly, then quickly endured the sour feeling in his crack and limped forward.
He wasn't gay, but his butt had been violated twice.
The damage was great, but the humiliation was even stronger.
Kobayashi Ayaka, who had the absolute advantage, did not pursue them. This place was unfamiliar, and it would be bad if she fell into a trap of luring the enemy deeper.
Kobayashi Ayaka knew the saying, "Don't pursue a cornered foe."
She coldly watched the delinquent's retreating figure.
"Ayaka-senpai, you..." Kurashiki Reina walked over. She looked at the former. Although it was a complete victory, she still asked, "Are you okay?"
Kobayashi Ayaka's lips curled:
"They look like three dogs, don't they?"
Kurashiki Reina: "...Ha."
As Kobayashi Ayaka picked up the bamboo sword, she thought for a moment, then said to Hachisuka Hidemichi: "Call the police."
"Okay!" Hachisuka Hidemichi quickly pulled out his phone, then he said awkwardly, "...Ah, mine's an iPhone, no signal."
Kobayashi Ayaka rolled her eyes.
Kurashiki Reina then picked up her phone: "I have one."
"This crappy phone is useless," Hachisuka Hidemichi said.
"But isn't yours a newly bought model?" Kurashiki Reina frowned, her old model had a signal.
"iPhones just have worse signals the newer they are," Hachisuka Hidemichi said nonchalantly.
"Then I'll call."
Kurashiki Reina said, although the signal was only half, making a call should be no problem.
Kobayashi Ayaka, however, stopped her: "Forget it, for such a small matter, the police might not even want to come. If they do, they'll just ask about what happened, which will only waste our time."
Kurashiki Reina thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Alright."
Kobayashi Ayaka's thin lips curled upwards almost imperceptibly. She cast a lazy and bored glance at Hachisuka Hidemichi.
When the incident happened, she suspected whether those delinquents had something to do with this guy.
Her suspicion was well-founded—although her sister was indeed radiant, the young miss Kurashiki beside her, regardless of her temper, was no worse than her in terms of face and figure.
This was just one aspect; those delinquents couldn't see the young miss Kurashiki's bad personality, so why did they only target her?
As a girl, Kobayashi Ayaka not only had B's but also had a sense of proportion.
There was definitely something fishy going on.
Then she deliberately let Hachisuka Hidemichi call the police first, and seeing him procrastinate, she further confirmed her suspicions.
You brat, still trying to trick your grand-aunt?
Hachisuka Hidemichi breathed a sigh of relief. Good thing this girl didn't really want to pursue it.
He decided not to call the police after careful consideration, for two reasons.
As long as the police were called, there was a possibility of catching those three guys. Once caught, if the police investigated and questioned them, given the professional attitude of those three brothers, they probably weren't people who could keep secrets. If he was exposed, it would be fine with Kobayashi Ayaka, as Hachisuka Hidemichi's relationship with her was already not very good.
But with his girlfriend, Kurashiki Reina, he might be branded as 'hypocritical,' and then the 'date' might be even harder to bring up.
This was the first reason.
As for the second, it was even more crucial.
He genuinely had no signal.
Hachisuka Hidemichi hadn't expected that the problem with this damn phone would make Kobayashi Ayaka completely fixated on him.
Hachisuka Hidemichi saw Kobayashi Ayaka smile gently at him.
His heart immediately blossomed. He thought he had underestimated this girl's combat ability, which led to the failure of his plan, but it seemed it hadn't completely failed.
