He paused, his gaze sweeping over the still indignant faces, his voice deepening:

"And can you even stop them? There are so many of you. If you get beaten up by someone all by yourself, what do you think people will think of us, Lily of the Valley?"

Yoshiki Genjiro's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on the crowd who were blinded by anger.

"..."

Silence fell over the playground.

Although the sense of humiliation remained strong, reason began to return.

Yes, what can be gained by ganging up on Kurosaki Ryuji now, besides venting temporary anger?

This will only solidify Suzuran's reputation as a sore loser and a shady player.

The challenge scheduled for a month later will completely lose its moral high ground and momentum.

And the most crucial issue is that if Ryuji Kurosaki really wants to leave, with so many of us, we might not be able to stop him.

After all, Ryuji Kurosaki's punch was like a basic attack with a multi-target effect.

Even Nakai couldn't withstand a punch from Kurosaki Ryuji.

The power gap is too great.

Zhong Jing clenched his teeth, his chest heaving violently, but the madness and humiliation in his eyes were ultimately suppressed by a struggle of reason.

He knew that Genjiro Kagi was right.

This "rightness" only made him feel more frustrated and pained.

Yoshiki Genjiro didn't say anything more to the people of Suzuran.

His gaze finally settled on Ryuji Kurosaki: "I accept your challenge. I'll be waiting for you in a month!"

Ryuji Kurosaki looked at Genjiro Yoshiki, a barely perceptible glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes.

Although it is not equipped with combat capability detectors at present.

But you can see it with your own eyes.

Kagi Genjiro is very strong, and is likely even stronger than Housen's former captain, Nagatake Hisako.

Yoshiki Genjiro said no more, but simply turned to the side and made a "please" gesture towards the school gate.

2.3 The movements are casual, yet carry an unquestionable air.

The Suzuran delinquents, who were blocking the way ahead, were under the calm gaze of Genjiro Kagi.

Under the invisible pressure brought by those words, he finally became extremely unwilling.

But helplessly, it slowly parted to both sides, making way for a path leading out of the school.

Everyone's face was filled with complex emotions: resentment, humiliation, fear, and a hint of bewilderment about their unknown fate a month from now.

Kurosaki Ryuji glanced one last time at Nakai, whose face was ashen, and then took a deep look at Yoshiki Genjiro, who remained calm as still water.

He didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

He then withdrew his gaze, ignoring the piercing stares around him, and strode forward with steady steps.

I walked along the cleared path, my feet sinking into the muddy ground.

Step by step, they walked calmly towards the dilapidated gate of Linglan School.

His figure stood out against the gloomy sky, under the gaze of countless complex eyes, appearing exceptionally tall and aloof.

The stress level number subtly jumped the moment he stepped out of the school gate.

[Lily of the Valley's current stress level: 100%]

Mission accomplished. The pressure on Suzuran has been put in place.

Chapter 128 First Encounter with Serizawa Tamao

Ryuji Kurosaki disappeared outside the dilapidated school gate of Suzuran.

He walked slowly along the slightly desolate street, a chilly breeze ruffling his silver hair.

He smoked a cigarette while staring at the panel that had appeared out of thin air.

Congratulations on completing the task "Put Some Pressure on Lily of the Valley"!

Upon seeing his newly acquired skill, Kurosaki Ryuji was overjoyed.

This is a leg-related active skill that I currently lack.

And as attribute points increase.

Its overall combat strength has reached 1084 points, getting closer and closer to the legendary level.

Beautiful!

After receiving the reward.

Ryuji Kurosaki then took a shortcut, passing under an overpass with few vehicles.

The bridge piers were huge and dark, casting deep shadows.

The air was filled with dust, engine oil, and the damp, musty smell typical of urban corners.

This place is usually quiet, but today it is filled with an unusual hustle and bustle.

Bang! Thud! Ah!!!

The dull thud of fists hitting bodies, the thud of bodies slamming against concrete pillars, and painful screams mingled together, breaking the silence under the bridge.

Ryuji Kurosaki did not stop walking, his gaze calmly sweeping towards the source of the sound.

A chaotic brawl was taking place on the open ground enclosed by the bridge piers.

One side consisted of more than twenty delinquents, and judging from the style of their uniforms, they were the same delinquents I met at the bar last time.

Their opponents, however, numbered only 13.

He was a delinquent wearing a black uniform made of lily of the valley.

He wasn't tall, but his movements were exceptionally fierce and swift.

He had slightly messy black hair, and his eyes flashed with a wild light like a wounded beast during the fierce fight.

What is most striking is his astonishing aura, like that of a lion.

"Hahahaha! That was great! Let's do it again!!"

Lily of the Valley laughed wildly, her voice full of power.

He seized the opponent's arm as he swung his fist and executed a clean and decisive over-the-shoulder throw, slamming the man hard to the ground.

The movements were so fluid, almost instinctive.

Immediately afterwards, another thug from Kawada pounced from behind, attempting to choke him.

Lily of the Valley suddenly lowered her head and delivered a vicious elbow strike that precisely hit the opponent's ribs, causing the man to scream and curl up in pain.

However, the difference in numbers is too great.

The Kawada delinquents cooperated fairly well, quickly forming an encirclement, and their punches and kicks rained down like raindrops.

Lily of the Valley was exceptionally brave, letting the attacks fall on her without even making a move to dodge.

Even though he was hit several times, he seemed completely unresponsive.

It was as if those fists hadn't landed on him; a smile still lingered on his lips.

Moreover, his movements showed no signs of slowing down; on the contrary, he fought with increasing ferocity.

at this time.

A particularly burly Kawada delinquent seized the opportunity and pounced from the side, his arms gripping the Suzuran delinquent's waist like iron hoops, attempting to throw him heavily to the ground.

"Successful!"

Kawada, a delinquent, shouted excitedly from the side.

However, instead of panic, the lily of the valley's eyes flashed with an even fiercer light.

He let out a beast-like growl, and a terrifying power erupted from his core as he grabbed the burly thug's shoulders and collar with both hands.

"Get up, you bastard!!!"

A thunderous roar!

To everyone's astonishment, that small figure, with his ridiculously strong waist and arm strength, actually lifted the much larger Kawada delinquent high above his head!

"No...impossible!!"

The Kawada delinquent, who was being lifted up, struggled in terror, his hands and feet flailing like a turtle in water, but to no avail.

"Hahaha! Fly!!"

With a wild laugh, Suzuran delinquent suddenly exerted force with both arms, as if throwing a shot put, and slammed the human body in her hands hard towards several Kawada delinquents who rushed up from the side.

boom!

The human shell hit its target precisely.

The thugs from Kawada who were hit and knocked down rolled around in a heap, screaming in agony!

This inhumanly violent scene terrified the remaining Kawada thugs, causing their offensive to falter.

This scene was witnessed by Ryuji Kurosaki, who had walked to the edge of the overpass and was preparing to go around it from the other side.

A barely perceptible hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This guy from Lily of the Valley... his strength is amazing, and that crazy energy is kind of interesting.

He had no intention of getting involved in other people's disputes; he just wanted to leave quietly.

However, fate always seems to like playing jokes.

Kawata, a rogue who had been knocked down by his companion and rolled right next to Kurosaki Ryuji's feet, struggled to lift his head.

He first noticed the shoes on Kurosaki Ryuji's feet, then his gaze moved upwards to the sharp Housen uniform that stood out even in the shadows, and the signature silver hair.

"Fengxian's... Fengxian's guy is here."

Kawada, the rogue, hurriedly shouted to his companions.

That shout was like pouring a bucket of oil into a dying fire.

The Kawada thugs, who had been intimidated by the Suzuran delinquent, seemed to have found a new outlet for their anger.

"Damn it! It's that Fengxian bastard!"

"Damn it! Let's settle both old and new scores!"

"Don't let him get away! Kill him too!"

The eight or nine Kawada delinquents immediately changed their focus and abandoned their attack on the Suzuran boy.

One by one, they howled and pounced on Kurosaki Ryuji, who stood out of place at the edge of the shadows of the overpass.

Ryuji Kurosaki frowned slightly.

I didn't provoke them at all.

Could it be related to the incident at the bar last time?

Did this lead to Kawata completely hating Housen?

The specific reason is unknown; Ryuji Kurosaki is just guessing.

Regardless, the Kawada delinquents had already charged towards them.

Ryuji Kurosaki naturally wouldn't stand there and let them beat him up.

"Humph!"

As the Kawada delinquent lunged at him, Kurosaki Ryuji snorted coldly.

Don’t retreat but advance!
