Yujiro, seeing Ryunosuke flee, immediately rushed to give chase.
"Stop! You brat!"
"If you tell me to stop, do you think I actually will?!" Ryunosuke shot back without looking back even once.
Damn it! It was truly a disaster of seven generations to get involved in an affair like this.
But this wasn't anyone else's fault; it was his own fault for seeking death. Why on earth had he playfully tried to kill the Strongest Creature on Earth?
Ryunosuke deeply regretted it now. Back then, for the sake of collecting Yuki's medical expenses, he had acted without thinking and accepted that commission.
Ryunosuke felt that killing the President of the United States was far easier than killing Yujiro.
You run, I chase, and he won't be able to escape.
But in reality, Ryunosuke was still able to flee.
Yujiro began to doubt his own life.
(This boy is truly the same as back then, his running is incredibly agile. Even if I open the Demon Back, it's not certain I can catch up to him.)
(But fortunately this school is a remote island; this boy won't be able to run anywhere.)
And so began an act of chasing around the entire island.
The sight presented was extremely strange.
A grown man with a fierce face was chasing someone carrying fishing gear, a tackle box, and a small chair, yet the man still could not catch up to him.
Ryunosuke exerted all the strength he had; his two legs ran until they created afterimages.
Yujiro was the same, even going as far as opening the Demon Back, but damn it, he still couldn't catch up.
He didn't believe it; when it came to stamina, how could he possibly not make this boy exhausted to death!
Yujiro was right; in terms of stamina, Ryunosuke was indeed no match for him. If left for long, Ryunosuke could die of exhaustion, therefore... he chose to call for help.
Ryunosuke immediately called the people he knew.
The phone was answered immediately; before the person on the other end could speak, Ryunosuke screamed instantly.
"Hello! Ayanokouji?! Quickly save me! This best friend of yours is being chased to be killed!!!"
*TUT-TUT-TUT!*
The sound of the phone being disconnected followed.
Ayanokouji was no fool. A person who could give Ryunosuke a headache would surely give him a headache too. He didn't want to interfere in other people's business; he only wanted to be an ordinary person.
Ryunosuke was silent for a long time, then tried calling again, but heard an unreachable tone. It was very clear the phone had been turned off.
The veins on his forehead bulged.
"Fine, very fine. You truly are my best friend; wait for my revenge!"
Ryunosuke cursed thoroughly, then called the next person.
"Hello! Koenji?! There is an opportunity here to fight the Strongest Creature on Earth; it's a friendly type of fight that won't take a life, are you interested or not?"
Koenji on the other end of the phone replied with great interest. "Sweet boy, are you trying to trick me so that I go there and become your shield?"
His intention was exposed, but Ryunosuke wasn't annoyed; instead, he asked back.
"Are you coming or not? If you don't want to come, I will use my last chance to force you to come here."
This was a threat. If Koenji truly didn't want to come, he would be forced to use that chance for the sake of saving his life.
Yet beyond expectations, Koenji said, "Hahaha, what a coincidence, I also very much want to fight the Strongest Creature on Earth. This time I will help you for free because I am interested."
After that, the phone was hung up. Success—one person had been summoned without having to waste his command chance.
Ryunosuke continued calling the next person, this time Asuna. As soon as it was connected, he spoke immediately with an urgent tone.
"Quickly help me, Asuna-san! I'm being chased to be killed here~" He said while pretending to cry.
Asuna pretended not to hear and said, "Eh? What did you say? The signal here is very bad."
Ryunosuke's expression turned serious. "If you come, I'll give you 2 million private points."
"I'm coming immediately!!!" Asuna hung up without hesitation and immediately rushed toward the location.
"Two million, that's two million, you know! How many games can that buy?"
"How many game skins can that buy?"
Asuna couldn't even count it.
For the sake of that big dream of hers, Asuna intended to gamble everything even if she had to offend others. She even brought a real weapon on her waist, a real fencing sword.
Asuna was not stupid; a person who could corner Ryunosuke was definitely no ordinary person.
In this school, Asuna had never seen anyone who could make Ryunosuke act like that.
On the other side of the phone.
Ryunosuke, whose call had just been disconnected, sneered, (Good grief, how hard is it to manage you? Don't you just need points to top-up games? I already walked that path in my previous life; how could I not know what a game-addict girl wants?)
He continued calling the next person.
"Megumi! Your husband is being bullied by this person! Quickly help!"
And so it was, Ryunosuke called everyone who could be called. Not long after, he reached the classroom corridor and knocked over the shoe racks around him to hinder Yujiro's steps behind him for the sake of stalling for time.
Yujiro had also closed his Demon Back to save energy, because keeping it open constantly was quite exhausting.
Yujiro walked step by step, until finally he managed to corner Ryunosuke in a dead end.
Yujiro cracked his neck; his large palms kept stretching, performing a warm-up.
Although he had promised Narumori, that old geezer, not to kill Ryunosuke, a fitting lesson still had to be given.
Ryunosuke was truly panicked this time.
Face him directly? Clearly a loss.
Run? This is a dead end; where is there to run?
Ryunosuke really wanted to scream for help right now.
Right at that critical moment, an empty can flew through the air and hit Yujiro's head.
Yujiro reflexively turned around and saw an expressionless young man, who was none other than Ayanokouji.
Ayanokouji actually didn't want to get involved, but if something happened to Ryunosuke, where else could he look for a tool as useful as that?
So after thinking for a long time, Ayanokouji finally came to help.
As for how he found him, it was very easy; seeing a fierce-faced uncle chasing a fisherman around the school, it was hard not to notice.
Ayanokouji shook the can in his hand, making the air pressure inside maximum, then pointed it at Yujiro and opened it right in front of the man's face. The liquid sprayed Yujiro's face and obscured his vision for a moment.
As a close friend, Ryunosuke certainly knew Ayanokouji was giving him a chance to escape.
Ryunosuke immediately performed a sliding motion, sliding past the gap between Yujiro's legs, then ran as fast as his legs could carry him.
Previously he had been trapped in the corner of a wall with no way out; now finally there was a chance to escape.
Yujiro immediately wiped the liquid from his face with his large, wide sleeve; his face looked extremely terrifying.
"You brat! And you too, deadpan-face, neither of you will be able to run!"
Yujiro now added Ayanokouji's name to the list of people he had to finish off.
Now he was consumed by rage to the point of forgetting the promise he made to Narumori.
