Chrome was still praying that this World Consciousness could send her to the world where the boss was located; she would definitely teach this person a lesson in how to speak.
Rokudo Mukuro's expression was also grim: "Sawada Tsunayoshi is my prey; how dare he try to snatch my things."
Alright, drag this one away first, because he just keeps repeating the same thing over and over.
】
“I didn't use the wrong one, so there's no need to apologize. Please move aside, I'm going to eat breakfast.”
Even at a time like this, Sawada Tsunayoshi remained polite toward others; he had no desire to say anything harsh.
The Little Villain didn't expect him to still be stubborn and continue to resist him.
“Fine, fine, fine. So you won't apologize, is that right? Then this isn't over today. If you don't apologize, you'll just have to take a beating from us, if you end up missing an arm or a leg, you'll have to drop out yourself.”
It is hard to imagine that a student in the police academy could be so vicious and evil, wanting to make someone drop out of school just because of something they did that was not even their fault.
And even making jokes about body organs.
The people around seemed to know something; although indignation surfaced on their faces, no one dared to help him, they even slowly backed away, wanting to leave this place of trouble.
The Little Villain was very satisfied with their self-awareness, a look of extreme satisfaction appeared on his face.
Beat him.
Beat him until he's on his knees begging me.
Behind him, the subordinates exchanged joyful looks: "Understood, Big Brother, we promise to complete the mission well."
Five or six burly men surrounded Sawada Tsunayoshi; his eyes were calm, he wore an expression that suggested he was about to strike.
One man took the lead, throwing a punch accompanied by a shout.
Sawada Tsunayoshi raised a hand in a blocking posture to deflect a punch; his body, which was thin compared to others, stood as firm as a great mountain in this moment, unshakeable.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he set the tray down and lunged upward with one leg, kicking the man squarely in the shoulder. With just that single strike, he sent the man tumbling backward.
A hand reached out from behind, but he used his arm to counter-grapple it, kicking back with all his strength.
"Aaaaaahhhhh!" That person curled up like a cooked shrimp and rolled around on the ground, letting out continuous, shrill screams.
Every man present felt his heart skip a beat, a cold chill running down his spine.
Everyone was stunned by this move. The spectators stood frozen in place, even those who were fighting stopped in their tracks, watching Sawada Tsunayoshi with wariness, terrified that they might suffer the same fate.
You're actually a man, aren't you? To think you'd use such a dirty trick!
The people present nodded; he really wasn't much of a man, using such a dirty trick.
Speaking of which, Sawada Tsunayoshi felt a bit ashamed. He stopped awkwardly; he truly hadn't done it on purpose.
This was a technique Belphegor had taught him. Because there were too many talented people in his family, everyone taught him something different, sometimes he would mix them all up and end up using them instinctively during actual combat.
Belphegor had said, "I don't care if it's underhanded or not, as long as it works. For a man, this is the most vulnerable spot; just go ahead and strike."
The Little Villain retreated behind someone else, his face pale, looking at Sawada Tsunayoshi with an expression no different from how one would look at a pervert.
“What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go deal with him. There will be great rewards in it for you once the job is done.”
The people who had stopped regained their senses and crowded around again, rubbing their hands in anticipation. With a heavy reward on the line, there were bound to be brave men; they had the numbers, so they weren't afraid.
“I'm here!”
As several people surrounded him, Sawada Tsunayoshi felt a strong gust of wind sweep past his back, an enemy was pinned to the ground by another tall figure: "Do you police academy students have any dignity left at all, bullying an innocent student right in the lobby!"
The tall figure was none other than Date Wataru, whom he had met yesterday.
At this time, four other people were standing beside Sawada Tsunayoshi, sandwiching him in the middle. To his left were the blonde, bronze-skinned Furuya Rei and the gentle, cat-eyed Hiromitsu.
On the right were the unruly curly-haired Matsuda Jinpei and the smiling tiger with purple eyes, Hara Kenji.
They were all people he had met yesterday.
Furuya Rei frowned and glared angrily, "Is this how you act as students? Even seeing innocent people being bullied in the police academy and doing nothing about it—how can you expect people to feel safe once you go out into the world?"
Hiromitsu looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi with concern: "You aren't injured, are you? Do you feel unwell anywhere?"
Matsuda Jinpei clenched his fists, the joints cracking loudly as he thought, "This is great. I really need to loosen up my muscles, you scum just delivered yourselves right to my doorstep."
Hara Kenji narrowed his eyes: "Wow, so this school follows a meritocracy. This is quite an eye-opener."
Seeing that someone was helping Sawada Tsunayoshi, the Little Villain took his anger out on the others: "All of you, get them! I want them all to pay the price!"
The four people engaged in a melee with them, seeing this, Sawada Tsunayoshi felt the urge to join in as well. The six of them were unstoppable, sweeping through the crowd and knocking the Little Villain's henchmen to the ground; even the Little Villain himself was not spared and was beaten.
Having been provoked to the limit, if he didn't strike back, Reborn would kill him, absolutely.
The Little Villain collapsed on the ground, his face bruised and battered. He looked at them in fear, reaching out his hands as he cried, "You guys just wait! Just you wait! I'll make you know the consequences of provoking me!"
After speaking, he was punched in the nose by Sawada Tsunayoshi, a warm stream of blood gushed out. His subordinate screamed frantically, "Big Brother, your nose is bleeding!"
The Little Villain wiped his nose with his hand, his palm covered in blood, then his eyes rolled back as he fainted.
“Boss!”
The younger brothers hoisted him up and hurriedly left, not before shouting a classic line of bravado: "We will definitely be back!"
Oh, you're just so wonderful.
It seemed that Sawada Tsunayoshi had not encountered such a low-level opponent on his path of growth; every one of his opponents was either god-level or beyond, each possessing their own prestige and style, strength and intellect.
A hand rested on a shoulder: "Still staring? Snap out of it."
It was Matsuda Jinpei: "Why so passive? You've completely lost that dominance you had last night."
"What 'last night'? Little Jinpei, have you been making friends behind my and Sawada Tsunayoshi's backs?" Hara Kenji leaned in, asking teasingly.
Hiromitsu was still worried about Sawada Tsunayoshi's health: "Maybe you should go to the hospital and get checked out; are you sure you're really fine?"
Furuya Rei and Date Wataru were waiting outside.
Being surrounded by several people all at once, it really is a strange feeling.
Sawada Tsunayoshi couldn't quite describe the feeling; it was probably very warm.
“No, I'm fine.”
He was just looking at the breakfast; it would definitely be cold by now.
Furuya Rei spoke, "Forget it, let's eat breakfast first and then sit down to talk."
After buying breakfast again, the six of them sat together and introduced themselves to one another.
Hara Kenji rested his chin on his hand and sighed, "We really are destined to meet."
Date Wataru laughed. "That's right, I didn't expect everyone to know each other."
Matsuda Jinpei and Furuya Rei's attitudes were somewhat off; they had a profound impression of the cold and ruthless Sawada Tsunayoshi from his display of power last night, seeing him so soft-faced now made them feel somewhat unsettled.
Matsuda Jinpei muttered to himself, "Does he have a split personality?"
He immediately asked, "Who is that person to be so arrogant?"
Everyone was in the dark, even Sawada Tsunayoshi, as the party involved, didn't know either.
A person who had suddenly turned their back around turned their head and said, "His name is Koji Yamadani, he is the son of someone in the upper echelons. We don't know exactly which high-ranking official he is, but we've heard his family is very influential and that his elders sacrificed themselves for the police department. Their only requirement is that everyone be lenient toward Koji Yamadani."
“It's what the higher-ups demand; as long as he doesn't cause a death, they'll let him do whatever he wants, so no one dares to provoke him, not even the school teachers have the authority to discipline him.”
A while ago, there was another student who was expelled just for provoking him. What he hates most are people who disrespect him. You've caused him to lose face today; he certainly won't let this go easily. You'd better be careful.
After saying that, he turned his head away, pretending not to know him, looking as if he were also very afraid of being caught by Koji Yamadani.
Sawada Tsunayoshi whispered a soft thank you.
That person didn't even move their head.
The six of them were all in the same boat, Sawada Tsunayoshi said softly, "This matter has nothing to do with you. He was angry because of me alone at first, so you should leave quickly and stay away from me."
“Maybe he will forget about you all in a little while.”
His expression was very sincere, his eyes were earnest.
He was truly thinking of them, but then again, Sawada Tsunayoshi was just a teenager; with his youthful face and being shorter than them, the way he spoke seemed quite.. adorable.
Matsuda Jinpei was the first to lean in: "Tsk, I've never been afraid of anyone since I was a kid. If he wants to come, let him come; it's not like he can kill me."
Hara Kenji also spoke with a smile, "Sawada Tsunayoshi, he looks like the kind of narrow-minded person who would never forget us."
Furuya Rei: "I will not back down."
Hiromitsu: "We did nothing wrong."
Date Wataru spoke heroically, "Even if he comes again next time, I'll still fight him."
Not a single person backed down.
A sense of emotion rose up in Sawada Tsunayoshi's heart.
The next second, a burly man with a dark expression walked in: "Who was fighting just now? Step forward!"
Chapter 48: Conan Live Day Nine
The burly man had a fierce expression on his face, looking as if he wanted to devour someone.
Could it be that the so-called revenge has come this quickly?
Sawada Tsunayoshi stood up, but he wasn't the fastest; the fastest, Furuya Rei, had already walked up to the man: "It's me."
Matsuda Jinpei refused to be outdone: "It's me."
Hara Kenji, Hiromitsu, Date Wataru: "It's me."
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi weakly raised his hand: "I was first."
No way, is he even trying to compete for this? He has absolutely no presence at the back, he might as well just raise his hand.
Onizuka saw the elementary schooler at the back raise his hand as if answering a question in class, then he met Sawada Tsunayoshi's clear eyes, causing his mouth to twitch.
"Cough, why are you even competing now? Are you all so proud of yourselves?" Onizuka could barely maintain the anger on his face, he quickly averted his gaze.
What do you think this place is, you lot? Fighting on the first day of school! All of you, go clean the bathrooms! Follow me!
