In fact, until Takuya Yagami drew his sword, the dagger in Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's hand was still stuck in the holster.
Although the holster was designed for quick draw, in that gap of less than half a second, he actually completed three steps from realizing that he was being attacked to seeing the attack route and then raising his weapon to block.
Even Sima Kedian thought he couldn't react this quickly, unless he was on guard from the beginning.
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka maintained his one-handed parrying posture without saying a word, with no trace of emotion on his calm face. His condescending, always calm dark golden eyes carried an invisible pressure.
It was as if the sneak attack just now was not worth mentioning to him at all.
"What are you doing, Yagami Takuya?"
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka spoke calmly.
If it were any other time in school, he would probably adopt a more student-like tone and say, "It's really too much to do such a dangerous thing to your classmates, blah blah blah."
But there is no need for this now. We are all students in the White Room and our natures are similar. There is no need for the eldest brother to hide things from the second brother. It is better to be frank and speak openly.
"doing what?"
Yagami Takuya sneered and continued to exert force on his arm.
"Of course I want to test your strength, Ayanokouji-senpai... No, maybe it would be more appropriate to call you the ultimate masterpiece?"
"It's up to you what you like about this kind of thing. I don't care."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka said this, and with a force of his arm, he shook off Yagami Takuya's folding knife and took a half step back.
Yagami Takuya also put away his sword and retreated, but the expression on his face, which should have been clean and handsome, became more ferocious.
"It doesn't matter? Yes, it really doesn't matter to you, but it's completely different for us!"
"What do you want?"
The tone was still extremely indifferent, as if an adult who had run out of patience and was feeling fed up was looking coldly at a child who was still making trouble unreasonably.
Takuya Yagami gritted his teeth and raised his sword again, ready to attack.
"Of course I'm going to have a showdown with Ayanokouji-senpai, right here, right now!"
"Ah……"
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka sighed somewhat helplessly.
The little devil school girl who had cunningly stated that she would not participate from the beginning had already retreated to the side with a smile, ready to watch the show.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Sima Kedian couldn't help but raise his voice slightly.
"Stop it, Yagami Takuya!"
"stop?"
In an instant, Takuya Yagami's face returned to his usual innocent and cheerful expression, and he even tilted his head in a cute way.
But soon this innocent and cheerful look completely disappeared, replaced by an even more vicious and hideous look than before.
"Why do we have to stop? It is necessary to determine who is stronger and who will be responsible for the frontal attack. Mr. Yuecheng agrees with this, right?"
"Having said that..."
Sima Kedian frowned slightly, and glanced at his boss who was still smiling and saying nothing, and then he changed his words.
"Then at least put down your swords. If we're just competing in close combat, you can fight with your bare hands, but if you get scratched by a sword, your combat effectiveness will definitely be reduced."
"Um……"
Yagami Takuya pondered for a while, then suddenly raised the corner of his mouth.
"Well, since Mr. Sima has said so, there is nothing we can do."
After saying this, he put away the folding knife, leaned over and gently placed the knife at his feet.
Seeing this, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka on the other side also put the dagger back into the holster, and then put the dagger and the holster together at his feet.
Afterwards, the two men stood up almost at the same time, and in unison, they spread their legs apart and assumed a close combat stance.
"Then~Round one, Fight!"
Ichika Amasawa took the role of referee without permission. She happily put her five fingers together and raised one arm, then swung her arm high and hard while blurting out "Fight" in a sweet voice.
At the same moment, Yagami Takuya launched an attack.
He sank his body and sprinted at top speed. The powerful explosive force of his legs enabled him to accelerate to the speed of a sprinter in a very short period of time. In almost the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
The two were just about to touch each other's foreheads, and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was ready to strike with a punch that swept past him with the sound of wind.
Normally speaking, at such a fast speed, the opponent should not have time to dodge, but... the punch missed.
Takuya Yagami's movements were as fast as lightning. When the two were only two steps away from each other, he took a huge lunge with one leg forward. His legs were opened at a wide angle, which made his body position further lowered. At the same time, the momentum of his forward rush was a huge Russian swing punch like a cannonball with full force, hitting Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's waist directly.
Yes, this is a surprising move, but also a risky one.
No one would have thought that someone would fight in this way, not even Takuya Yagami.
But as the saying goes, they were all taught by the same master and their moves cannot be broken.
Therefore, if you want to defeat Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, you must use other tricks than those taught in the White House!
One hit to win!
"Oh~"
At this moment, even Yuecheng couldn't help but let out a small sigh of admiration.
But he was not admiring Yagami Takuya's fantastic ideas, but——
"Varied……"
There was no feeling of the fist hitting the target, and Takuya Yagami was startled, but his body continued to rush forward due to inertia.
With his head looking down, he saw a pair of familiar legs coming towards him with light dance steps.
That was Ayanokouji Kiyotaka who had successfully avoided the surprise attack.
He used the inertia of his punch to turn counterclockwise with the toe of his right foot as a support point to avoid Takuya Yagami's full-strength right punch. Then he raised his left foot and took a step back, using it as a second fulcrum to plow a deep groove in the ground.
In fact, even this is still not enough to offset the inertia caused by swinging the fist and turning around, but it doesn’t matter, he still has a third fulcrum.
boom!
With a loud bang, an elbow strike with both power and inertia hit Takuya Yagami's head directly on the top of his head. The horrible impact made the boy feel as if his eyeballs were about to be blown out.
This was not the end. Before his body could stabilize, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka raised his right arm again, clenched his fist like a whack-a-mole, and punched the former on the head again.
This punch completely knocked Yagami Takuya down.
He was seen falling to the ground with his whole body prostrated in a rather indecent dog-eating-shit posture, his face rubbing against the ground as he flew more than a meter away.
Fortunately, it rained yesterday and the soil here is still relatively moist, otherwise this rain would have been enough to disfigure it.
"..."
Tian Ze Yixia touched his forehead as he watched the scene in front of him, not knowing whether to count the seconds or just announce the end of the game.
But Sima Kedian obviously didn't have such good patience and spoke directly.
"Then the winner is decided..."
"No! Not yet!"
The muffled but angry voice of Takuya Yagami came from the cracks in the soil.
He used both hands to push his face out of the mud, ignoring the dirty mud stains on the corners of his mouth and eyebrows. He turned over on the spot, holding the dagger that he had just picked up from the ground when he "face-smashed" on the ground and that had been placed on the ground by Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
"Wait, Yagami-kun...!"
Realizing what the boy was going to do next, Amasawa Ichika's expression changed instantly and he spoke out to stop him.
But how could Yagami Takuya, who was already furious, listen to her? He angrily pulled out a dagger from his holster and threw it like a flying knife at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who was standing nearby with a look of surprise on his face.
"Go to hell! Ayanokouji Kiyotaka!!!"
Volume 412: Chapter Silent Challenge
Bang!
The dagger that was supposed to tear through the air and pierce Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's chest drew a curve in the air like the flight path of a broken-winged butterfly and flew to the side. It landed on a protruding stone in the forest grass, made a crisp sound, and then rolled to the ground.
"Oh~"
Sima Kedian continued to have a blank expression on his face, and the voice of exclamation came from Tianze Yixia who was standing next to him.
The girl seemed to be extremely stunned. She couldn't help but clap her hands rapidly as she looked at the scene in front of her.
"Oh my, I was worried that I might cut my hands after not practicing for so long, but it seems I'm not old enough to retire yet."
Yuecheng, who maintained his punching stance, smiled gently and retracted his arm. His clenched fist fingers naturally loosened, and his legs, which had been stretched out in a horse stance, returned to their normal positions.
Even though he said he was worried, everyone saw that punch clearly.
That is clearly the technique of Bajiquan.
He made a big and powerful move, kicking and punching with great force. The wind from his punch was like thunder, as if even if there was a rock in front of him, he could easily drill through it.
Of course, we are talking about momentum here, not physical sense.
In short, there was no such thing as "worrying about scratching my hands" as he said.
Judging from the punch that Acting Chairman Yuecheng just threw, if it were me, I would probably only get 40% to 60% at best...
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who appeared to be panicking but was actually as steady as an old dog, thought to himself.
"Okay, that's it. Now the winner is clear."
Yue Cheng completely put away his posture, and his aura returned to that of an old-school power holder as usual. He clapped his hands lightly to draw everyone's attention to himself.
"Then the plan is as follows. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and I will be responsible for the frontal attack, while Simaken Nori, Amasawa Ichika, and Yagami Takuya will be responsible for waiting for the opportunity to act."
"Hi hi~"
Tian Ze Yixia narrowed his eyes, smiled, and nodded continuously, looking like a good and obedient child.
Noticing the gaze of Takuya Yagami who got up from the ground, she turned her head slightly to look at him, then let her arms hang naturally and made an "OK" gesture to the latter at an angle where no one else could see.
Meaning - will act according to plan.
"But come to think of it, that was really dangerous just now. Are you okay, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka?"
Somehow, Tsukishiro, who should have let the matter go and had no intention of blaming Yagami for being unsportsmanlike, suddenly brought up the past again and looked at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka with narrowed eyes as if he was caring for his godson.
"Ah... I'm fine."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka said calmly.
Of course he couldn't be in any trouble. The panic he showed when he was almost hit by Takuya Yagami's flying knife was all acted, just to confirm whether Yuecheng really wanted to help him get rid of the big trouble of Wu Yi.
That’s right, Yuecheng gave different statements to everyone involved in the “Wu Yi Suppression Plan”, including Nanyun and the first-years.
The explanation given to students in the White Room, such as Yagami Takuya and Amasawa Ichika, was that they should cooperate with Wu Yi to expel Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, as this was an order from the White Room.
The same thing, when it came to Nanyun, was explained as follows - as long as Wu Yi could be expelled from school, not only would he be paid 20 million, but all the consequences would also be borne by him as the acting chairman.
Logically speaking, at this point, he should be able to bid for Jinshui, but Ayanokouji Kiyotaka still didn't trust it.
That's why he half-directed and acted in the scene just now.
If that blow had been more powerful, he would not have died, but he would have been injured and had to leave the field.
So Ayanokouji Kiyotaka made a bet, he bet that Tsukishiro would stop the dagger before it stabbed him.
If he fails to stop it, he will also push the dagger away at the last possible distance.
Although it will cause some scratches on the skin, at least it won't cause any serious injuries.
The prerequisite for being able to do this is that he also expected that Yagami Takuya would get the dagger and throw it at him.
It can be said that everything so far is under the control of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, and the seemingly thrilling situation is actually just expected.
So now the conclusion is obvious.
Yuecheng is trustworthy.
……
The view returns to area I7.
Inside the tent, Asahina, who was bored because she had nothing to do, turned over weakly, rested her head on Wu Yi's muscular abdomen, and lay sideways.
She maintained this posture for a while, and as if she thought of something, she raised her head, unzipped the tent and looked outside.
