Chapter 51 - Chapter 51: First Glimpse of Talent

"She's here! Be careful, sister." Li Jiayu stared intently at the window, not glancing at anyone else. Her voice, neither too loud nor too soft, was just loud enough for everyone to hear, yet it instantly silenced the entire classroom.

The boys nervously looked around, while almost all the girls huddled together with their eyes tightly shut.

The buzzing sound grew louder as it approached, and soon the true face of the newcomer was revealed to everyone.

They were black beetles, each the size of a computer desk and chair, with sharp black blades protruding from their bodies. But what was most terrifying were their mouthparts—two large mandibles a meter long, looking like two bloodthirsty scythes! They darted and flew around outside the teaching building, their red compound eyes mockingly searching for prey.

This is practically a weapon of war born specifically for reaping.

"Don't just stand there! Find a corner or a table to hide in!" Honda ignored Li Jiayu's cry of "sister" and glanced at the students around him who were stunned. He reminded them out of humanitarian principles.

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately ran to the corner under the table and curled up to hide. Some of the boys also looked panicked, hesitated, and eventually ran to hide under the table as well.

In the end, only five boys remained standing next to Li Jiayu and Honda. Their bodies trembled slightly, and they were panting heavily, but their eyes contained complex emotions: fear, excitement, and a faint desire to fight.

In this world, even though cowards and escapists make up the majority, there are always a few courageous men who, knowing it's impossible, dare to muster their courage and create more waves in the treacherous sea. Moreover, they cannot accept being protected by a woman (or more women).

Honda looked at the group of boys and shook his head slightly. Hot-blooded guys die quickly, especially if it weren't for someone like Li Jiayu with cheat codes. If they were here, everyone would probably be dead. Those who ran fast would be okay, but those who ran slowly would suffer a painful death in the end. That way, dying wouldn't be so unpleasant!

"You peed your pants just now, didn't you? I can smell something weird. Bring me your underwear, and you girls who are hiding, throw your underwear over here too. We're in a hurry!"

Hearing Li Jiayu say that, Honda almost choked. Just how low does her emotional intelligence have to be to make such a request without batting an eye? Even if her intentions are good, couldn't she have been a little more tactful? Sure enough! Li Jiayu is a natural pervert.

"You've got it wrong. I just wanted to use your smelly underwear to attract the sickle beetles' attention! Uh... if that doesn't work, you can use your stockings or denim skirts instead! Come on, what are you being shy about? I don't even mind your pee, so what are you being so reserved about!" Seeing Honda staring at her with surprise, Li Jiayu realized there was something wrong with her words and quickly explained!

Finally, Li Jiayu shouted loudly, her voice intimidating. The girls gritted their teeth and quickly took off their smelly stockings and threw them in front of Li Jiayu. One flirtatious and bold girl with ulterior motives threw her underwear over as well!

He was commenting on these things, which were treasures to gentlemen! Then Li Jiayu heard a 'humming' sound approaching.

"Ah, here it comes, it's charging at us!"

The five boys who had already decided to fight, along with Sun Weiwei, were suddenly overcome with panic. Although they had made up their minds, they were still terrified of actually facing the sickle beetle, and their legs were trembling. But the five boys quickly reacted and grabbed the nearest chair to use as a weapon.

"Swish"

With a flap of its wings, the sickle beetle moved like a swift swift or a black lightning bolt. Everyone only saw a blur before the beetle rushed to the window!

"Ping-pong!"

In an instant, the sturdy window glass, as if made of paper, was shattered by the terrifying impact of the sickle beetle, turning into small fragments that scattered all over the ground!

"Too slow!" Honda's dynamic eyes gleamed as he watched the insect buzzing like a fly. It was far beyond the reach of someone like Li Jiayu, who had lost his power! But to avoid drawing too much attention to himself, Honda decided to let Li Jiayu go first.

The sickle beetle first attacked Jia Yu, who was carrying a pair of underwear with a very strong smell.

"drink!"

Li Jiayu spun with her left foot, dodged to the side, and then moved her hand. The fire axe, carrying a cold glint, was like a dazzling meteor, fiercely heading towards the wolf-like sickle beetle!

"Just as I expected!" Honda thought, watching Li Jiayu deal with a considerable number of beetles. In Honda's eyes, these two were moving far too slowly. He really wanted to just go up and finish them off with a bucket himself, but it was better to let the main characters steal the show.

"Watch out, sister!" Before Jia Yu could even shout, Honda had already noticed. The crippled sickle beetle, already hacked to pieces, was flying towards him—or rather, crashing into him!

"Tch! Since he's courting death, there's nothing I can do about it."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes. The steel pipe in his hand was a long weapon, replacing a spear. Combined with Honda's surging physical strength, he applied only a fraction of his power. At a distance of less than five meters, Honda didn't need to aim. He hurled it directly at the reckless beetle. With a powerful whooshing sound, the steel pipe shot towards the beetle in mid-air. Before the beetle could dodge, the steel pipe, carrying immense force, pierced its mouthparts and went straight through its neck from its lower jaw, pinning it to the ceiling.

Jiayu was stunned, and so were the students.

"Screech~~" The insect's resilience was astounding; even with its neck pierced, it still managed to send out a distress signal. Honda, however, went straight up and simply picked up the insect stuck to the ceiling. This scene left the boys dumbfounded. Damn, that insect must weigh over a hundred pounds! And this 'weak' woman picked it up so easily.

After delivering a final blow to the beetle's head, Honda shook his head, looking at the twisted steel pipe. He really wanted a better weapon! Right, once the Wraith awakens, he could just use Lance's 'Knights Don't Die Bare Hands'! That would make things easier to explain!

"Does anyone have a knife?" Li Jiayu wasn't curious about Honda's strength and suddenly asked her classmate.

He desperately needs to be summoned to save his life.

Honda stood to the side, holding the steel pipe, watching Li Jiayu mutilate herself... oh, no, bleed out!

Just as Li Jiayu was summoning, a sickle beetle arrived! Its size, twice that of the previous one, made it instantly recognizable to Li Jiayu. Damn, at this crucial moment, this thing arrived just in time.

"I can only hope that my sister can hold on for a while!" With this thought in mind, Jia Yu looked at Honda with expectant eyes, and Honda did not refuse!

He stepped forward to meet the Scythe Beetle King. He fought the Scythe Beetle King with great skill, but his steel pipe probably wouldn't last long!

"Hear my call, become my partner, and fight alongside me. I will offer my sacrifice, and I will hold you in the highest esteem... Come forth, my new partner!"

Li Jiayu began to frantically pour her mental energy into the incantation. As soon as she finished reciting it, the surrounding air became murky and viscous, like the eve of a storm, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Beneath Li Jiayu's feet, a light appeared, with strange patterns faintly visible, like a magic circle!

At this moment, the Sickle Beetle King, who was currently dealing with Honda, turned its compound eyes to the strangely behaving Li Jiayu. Its scythe-like mandibles opened and closed, emitting a sharp cry, and it was about to charge at him! But Honda blocked it, and even slammed it down hard. Now the Sickle Beetle King's rage was entirely focused on Honda, but the steel pipe was about to be destroyed.

Honda seized an opportunity and blinded one of the sickle beetle king's compound eyes. But the steel pipe in his hand was also ruined, breaking completely!

"Waaah"

The king of sickle beetles cried out in agony, its wings flapping with the speed of a fan in its fury; it was determined to kill the human before it and avenge its blindness!

Honda glanced at the steel pipe in his hand and sighed. He was just about to dodge the attack of the Sickle Beetle King.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared above its head, carrying a thick, fishy smell, and pressed down with immense force!

The sickle beetle was so crushed by the dark shadow that it could no longer fly and fell to the ground!
