Sato glanced at the school uniform he was wearing and muttered to himself, "Akehisa High, that school full of delinquents?"
Honestly, this was Sato's first time encountering something called gangsters. He thought as he naturally possessed a personality completely incompatible with delinquents and bullying.
"You two stand a little farther back."
Sato had Nishimiya Shouko and Takanashi Rikka step back.
Seeing this, the delinquent across from him raised a brow. A deeply mocking smile curled across his lips as he said, "What, planning to fight back? Looks like being in front of pretty girls gave you some courage buffs, huh? Hahaha!"
Hearing the delinquent's mockery, Sato merely glanced at him indifferently before shifting his gaze toward Sagami Minami.
With little interest, he said, "The helper you found is just this little thug who's only good with his mouth?"
A vicious look flashed through the delinquent's eyes.
Little thug!
That was the term he hated most.
Sagami Minami swallowed nervously under Sato's gaze. For some reason, she felt like she might have made a terrible mistake, but she still forced herself to say, "Why are you acting so arrogant?! Sagara will definitely beat you flat!"
"Sagara, huh? The person capable of beating me probably hasn't even been born yet."
"Bastard!"
Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed through Sagara Takeshi's eyes as he abruptly launched an attack at Sato.
His movements were fast, like a nimble cheetah. In the blink of an eye, he crossed more than ten meters and arrived in front of Sato, throwing out his fist!
Whoosh!
The sound of a fist cutting through the air rang out!
Seeing Sato seemingly unable to react in time, a mocking smile appeared on Sagara Takeshi's face.
How could model students like you possibly understand the strength of delinquents?!
Hm?
The next second, Sagara Takeshi stumbled forward, nearly losing his footing. The fist he had thrown carried him several more steps ahead.
After stabilizing himself, he stared ahead in shock.
Where did he go?
"Tch, are you performing a faceplant for me?"
Sato's teasing voice came from behind him.
Sagara Takeshi's heart tightened as he quickly turned around, only to see Sato standing two meters behind him with his arms crossed, smiling leisurely.
How... did he dodge that?!
Sagara Takeshi's heart shook violently. Unlike other delinquents who would blindly rage, he immediately started thinking through the situation.
As the second-in-command of Kaikou High, his combat ability was not especially outstanding. The reason he held his position had a lot to do with his brains!
Just now, Sato had clearly been right in front of him, less than half a meter away, yet he had somehow dodged the attack without Sagara Takeshi even noticing!
No, something was wrong. The intel was completely off!
This guy was not simple at all!
Sagara Takeshi's expression suddenly became serious.
Seeing this, Sato raised a brow and complimented him, "So you're not entirely brainless for a little thug."
"Oh right."
"There's a saying called eye for an eye. I wonder if you've heard it before..."
Sato revealed a meaningful smile toward Sagara Takeshi.
Hearing this, Sagara Takeshi's pupils suddenly shrank. He was just about to brace himself for Sato's attack when he suddenly realized Sato's figure was slowly dissipating like smoke.
An afterimage?!
You've got to be kidding!
If someone's punch left an afterimage, he could still understand that. But someone moving fast enough to leave an afterimage?!
The warning bells in his mind instantly screamed. Instinctively, he tried to defend himself, but his body ultimately could not keep up with his thoughts.
Whoosh!
Sato's figure suddenly appeared beside him, that face looking exceptionally cold.
Sato planted his foot, then...
Bang!!!
A fierce roundhouse kick lashed through the air and slammed brutally into Sagara Takeshi's body. It sounded like a heavyweight boxer smashing a punching bag, producing a deep booming impact.
Whoosh!
Sagara Takeshi's body shot out like a cannonball, smashing violently into a utility pole five or six meters away.
Boom!
The two collided heavily, causing even the utility pole to tremble violently.
"Ah..."
Sagara Takeshi's face twisted in agony. Unable to endure it, he coughed up a mouthful of blood that splattered across his clothes.
"Ahhh!!!"
Sagami Minami, who had been completely stunned, suddenly let out a terrified scream before turning around and running away without hesitation.
Sato merely glanced at her indifferently without moving.
He regarded her as worthless grass beneath his feet, not even worth his attention.
Compared to Sagami Minami, he found Sagara Takeshi much more interesting.
He walked over and crouched down in front of him with interest.
With the combat master module equipped, he could control his strength with absolute precision. If Sagara Takeshi were an ordinary person, he would definitely have passed out already. Yet despite being heavily injured, he still remained conscious!
Interested, Sato opened his character profile.
[Name: Sagara Takeshi]
[Job: Delinquent]
[Race: Human]
[Age: 18]
[Threat Level: E]
So he was actually E-rank? No wonder.
Sato immediately revealed a look of realization.
So he really did possess traits beyond ordinary people?
He opened the detailed profile and saw Sagara Takeshi's talent.
[Delinquent Body: As a delinquent, you should possess exceptional durability and recovery ability!]
Wow, even delinquents could have talents?
Sato revealed a disgusted expression. This world really was bizarre in all sorts of ways.
Sagara Takeshi looked hazily at Sato crouching before him. He also noticed the look of disgust on Sato's face, but the intense pain coming from his abdomen made it impossible for him to think about why. He could only stare at Sato with crazed eyes.
"That look in your eyes is really irritating."
"But you should be grateful that I'm not used to killing people. I also don't want the first person I kill to be a little thug like you."
Sato patted Sagara Takeshi's cheek. At this moment, he looked more like the villain himself.
Bang!
Suddenly, he grabbed Sagara Takeshi's head and smashed it hard against the utility pole. The violent impact immediately caused stars to explode in Sagara Takeshi's vision. His consciousness completely blurred before his head slumped to the side and he lost consciousness.
Sato stood up and let out a refreshed sigh before turning back toward the two completely frozen girls.
"Let's go."
"H-He..."
Takanashi Rikka looked at the unconscious Sagara Takeshi, so nervous she could barely speak properly.
"He's fine. I just knocked him out."
"I see..."
The two girls simultaneously let out sighs of relief.
