The time showed 7:30 PM.
Inside a private KTV room.
There were two groups of people facing each other. On one side was Ryuen's group, and on the other side was Ryunosuke. Both parties sat on opposing sofas with crossed legs.
Ryuen's face was very gloomy, his chest felt tight from overflowing anger. He stared sharply at Ryunosuke in front of him, until his molars made sounds from strong grinding.
Ayanokouji and Suzune stood on each side of Ryunosuke, while Megumi, like a hired assassin, had already slipped behind Ryuen.
To be precise, because Megumi's presence was too low and she felt bored, she decided to circle around to the opponent's back. During that process, not a single person noticed her.
Ayanokouji couldn't contain his envy.
(Very good... I also want to learn that technique, sometime I need to learn from Kato-san.)
The official negotiation began. Ryuen attacked first by slamming the table and shouting.
"You bastard! When did you install that camera?!"
Ryunosuke spread his hands. "Of course at night, how could I install it in broad daylight?"
Ryuen immediately fell silent, his breath ragged from emotion before finally he calmed himself down and sat back on the sofa.
"State your terms. What do you want for that video to be deleted?"
Seeing the opponent had entered the core of the conversation, Ryunosuke stopped playing around. In front of Ryuen, he took out two sets of contracts that had been prepared beforehand.
Ryuen's eyebrow raised. "Seems like you've been planning this for a long time, kid."
Ryunosuke chuckled softly while swaying his crossed leg. "Just looking for a meal, Boss. You surely don't mind, right?"
Ryuen showed a cruel smile. He gave an eye signal to his subordinates to close the door, then said in a casual tone.
"Of course I don't mind. What could I possibly protest?~"
As soon as the room door was tightly closed by his subordinates, Ryuen removed his mask and showed a fierce expression.
"Because you won't have a chance to protest anymore, kid! Attack! Finish them all!"
Ryuen waved his hand, ordering his subordinates to capture them.
Ryunosuke showed an expression as if he had already expected this.
"I knew it..."
He then turned toward Ayanokouji and Suzune, waved his large hand, and shouted loudly.
"Attack! My trusted right and left hands!"
Suzune's forehead furrowed deeply. "Who are you calling your right and left hands? Don't misunderstand first."
Despite saying that, Suzune still moved forward to fight. Her opponents were two girls; one was Manabe Shiho, and the other was Ibuki Mio.
Meanwhile, the literary girl, Shiina Hiyori, had already sat calmly with Ryunosuke and chatted casually.
Hiyori hugged her book, chatting relaxedly as if not caring that a war was happening before her eyes.
Hiyori complained to Ryunosuke. "You're really troubling me, Akasaka-kun."
"Where is that? I already tried to keep you out of it."
"Even in the video I sent, your face was already censored with mosaic and your voice was already specially processed. You won't be dragged into this problem."
"That's not what I meant..." Hiyori saw both parties beginning to fight and let out a long sigh. "I mean this... you made them fight..."
Ryunosuke shrugged resignedly. "What else can I do, war between factions can't happen without casualties."
Hiyori showed a resigned expression. "Even though something like this could be avoided, but you instead chose the most aggressive way. I really don't know what to say about you..."
On the other side, Albert moved forward to face Ayanokouji who had a height of 175 cm.
Ayanokouji looked at the 2-meter-tall giant with an expressionless face, even had time to daydream.
"You're very tall. What did you eat to grow this big? Can you tell me? I also want to grow taller."
Albert turned out to be honest enough to answer. "Protein powder..."
"Can protein powder make height increase?" Ayanokouji asked, not understanding.
Albert shook his head. "No! But it can grow muscles. My height is from birth, so sorry, I can't answer your question because I don't know myself."
"I see..." Ayanokouji put his hands in his pockets and said flatly. "Then let's begin, I want to go home early to sleep."
Albert nodded in agreement. "Rest assured, I'll finish this quickly."
After that, he raised his sandbag-sized fist and swung it toward Ayanokouji.
Ayanokouji remained expressionless, maintaining his hands-in-pockets position when facing Albert's fist.
Albert threw a straight punch toward Ayanokouji's face.
Ayanokouji tilted his head to dodge, then stepped forward quickly until he was right in front of Albert. His hand moved as fast as lightning in an open palm position, striking Albert's chin to trigger unconsciousness.
After all, the human chin area is very fragile; just a little shock can cause brain concussion and cause fainting. That was his goal.
Albert almost lost consciousness from that attack, but thanks to his strong physique, he was able to withstand that blow and tried to headbutt Ayanokouji.
Ayanokouji was slightly surprised that the opponent didn't faint. He then rotated to avoid that headbutt, jumped into the air, and released a kick to Albert's neck, knocking him backward.
His leg was still hanging in the air while his gaze stared coldly at the fallen Albert.
Albert crawled out from the pile of destroyed goods and rotated his stiff neck.
Ayanokouji slowly lowered his leg and sighed internally.
(Seems like I need to add a bit more power. This person has thick skin; if the force is too weak, he won't be able to be knocked unconscious...)
On the other side, Suzune was also fighting against two girls. Shiho threw a hard kick toward her face.
Suzune used both her hands to block, but she was still pushed back several steps.
Seeing her opponent pushed back, Shiho became too enthusiastic and charged forward alone.
Suzune took advantage of that momentum by swinging her school bag right toward the girl's temple, then followed up with an aerial kick that sent Shiho flying three or four meters away.
Shiho's face kissed the floor, blood began flowing from her cheek. Clearly that kick was no joke. Suzune didn't hold back, she indeed didn't have the luxury to do that.
Suzune rotated her ankle, then looked at the other enemy, namely Ibuki.
Ibuki was also warming up her ankle with an expression full of enthusiasm.
