Unfortunately, the sight of Yujiro being launched upward as imagined did not happen. Instead, it was Ryunosuke's fingers that snapped.
Yujiro had tightened his anal sphincter at the critical moment, making it as hard as steel.
Don't ask how it could be tightened; for a fighter of this level, every part of the body can certainly be used flexibly.
But Ryunosuke was down on his luck; he clutched his fingers and rolled around on the floor.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! It hurts so much!"
As the proverb goes, "the heart intends to hug the mountain, but the arms are not long enough"—the intention of performing a sneak attack instead ended in disaster for himself.
Ichika finally came to her full senses. She stared at Ryunosuke, who had just protected her, and then saw Yujiro's fist which was about to strike Ryunosuke.
She gritted her teeth and lunged forward, bringing out two knuckle duster blades and slashing repeatedly at Yujiro's body.
Unfortunately, those attacks provided not a shred of damage, not even leaving a scratch mark.
Facing Yujiro, whose skin was like steel, Ichika fully realized the difference in strength between them.
Even though she had seen it before back in the White Room, wasn't this difference simply too vast?!
Seeing that her attacks were ineffective, Ichika used guerrilla tactics, not daring to clash directly from the front.
The opponent could not be defeated, nor could a wound be carved; the only choice was to stall for time.
(At the very least, I must give Akasaka-senpai time to recover.)
Ryunosuke didn't dare be reckless either. Utilizing the precious time bought by Ichika, he immediately snapped his broken fingers back into position. Instantly, cold sweat poured down his forehead from the extraordinary pain.
But Ryunosuke had no time to mourn the pain; he had to save Ichika immediately!
Because now, Ichika's leg had been caught by Yujiro and she was being held in an inverted position.
Ichika hurriedly covered her skirt.
Fortunately, she was wearing safety pants; otherwise, the male students there would have seen everything.
(Moreover, Ayanokouji-senpai is there.)
Even in a critical situation like this, Ichika still had time to think of silly things in her heart.
Yujiro carried the little girl in front of him like he was carrying a bag of trash. His gaze was fixed straight on her with ill intentions.
Ichika felt threatened; she struggled with all her might, but her held ankle felt as if it were clamped by giant pliers, unable to break free at all.
Seeing Yujiro about to extend his palm to break her leg, Ichika was truly panicked now.
She did not doubt at all that the man would do it, because back in the White Room, Yujiro had killed many of her comrades.
The reason she and Yagami survived was only because the man saw they possessed a bit of talent and intentionally let them go.
Seeing Yujiro's hand drawing closer, Ichika closed her eyes in despair, unable to bear seeing her leg broken.
Suddenly, the sound of a clear electric current echoed in Yujiro's ear.
It was Megumi moving.
She spun behind Yujiro soundlessly; even Yujiro himself did not notice it.
Megumi, with an expressionless face, brought out a stun gun and shocked Yujiro's neck, trying to make him release Ichika's leg.
But unfortunately, facing Yujiro's thick-skinned body, an electric current that small had no effect on him at all.
Yujiro only felt his neck was a bit itchy. He rubbed his neck with his large hand, turning back in confusion, yet found no one there.
Megumi immediately pulled back, yet maintained her Grand Assassin-style "Stealth" mode.
This was the first time she had failed.
Megumi brought out a dagger that shimmered sharply; it was very clear the dagger had been sharpened.
She was very aware that facing the Strongest Creature on Earth, ordinary sharp weapons might be useless. Thus, Megumi chose to attack the weakest part of a human: the eyes.
Without hesitation, Megumi thrust her dagger toward Yujiro's eyeball.
Yujiro instinctively sensed danger. He closed his eyes, and incredibly, with just his eyelids, he managed to withstand the dagger, to the point where the blade actually cracked.
Megumi frowned; she truly had no way to deal with this man.
First, she could not penetrate the opponent's defense, even her mainstay stun gun was useless.
This was the first time Megumi felt helpless since entering this school.
Yujiro realized someone was attacking him covertly, but he could not see anyone.
"Truly strange, who exactly is the culprit?"
Possessing such mature assassination techniques, was it a contract killer or a ninja from the Shogunate?
Yujiro now added Megumi to the list of most dangerous targets.
After all, being attacked suddenly without being able to be detected was very annoying.
Utilizing the moment when Yujiro's attention was diverted by Megumi, Ryunosuke brought a syringe containing a sedative he had just taken from the infirmary. If he remembered correctly, in the original work, Yujiro was afraid of sedative needles.
Ryunosuke prepared to stab it into Yujiro's hand that was holding Ichika so that he would release her.
Who would have thought that Yujiro, who possessed skin as hard as steel, would have his pupils shrink upon seeing that object. To avoid the prick, he actually released his grip and leaped back to maintain distance.
Ryunosuke wasted no time; he caught the falling Ichika head-first. Never mind the wrong carrying position, the important thing was to run first!
Ryunosuke arrived beside Ayanokouji, Megumi, and the others. As for where Koenji went? He said his body was covered in blood and too dirty, so he went to take a shower first.
Ichika, who had just been set down, grumbled a little. The reason was, while Ryunosuke was carrying her away earlier, her knee kept bumping into his face. Her face could have been ruined, couldn't it?
Ryunosuke ignored her complaints; being able to save her was already a blessing, what more could she ask for?
Ayanokouji murmured softly, "Didn't expect this Strongest Creature was actually afraid of sedative needles."
In the original story, the creature called the strongest had indeed several times been brought down by tranquilizer rifles, even though he wasn't afraid of bullets.
Ryunosuke had only wanted to try; he didn't expect it would actually work.
Actually, it was a bit strange; even bullets were ineffective, but instead he was afraid of needles.
Yujiro realized he had been played, and his rage exploded instantly.
"Boy! Since you know about that, die!"
Yujiro intended to kill to cover his shame.
As for the promise he made to Narumori, he had completely forgotten it.
Now, in his mind was only to get rid of these people so that his disgrace wouldn't spread.
Ryunosuke himself didn't think that far; he purely just wanted to save people... Then again, what kind of skin was that? Bullets were ineffective, but he was afraid of being injected?
