nChapter 87: Collapse

nTranslator: imperfectluck Editor: vb24

nEven though they knew that they would inevitably have to face Seigo, some of the female members were still starstruck.

nIt was because… he was too cool and too strong!

nIf Seiji’s victory over the three girls surprised everyone, this second battle, where he defeated seven boys in an instant, shook everyone down to their bones.

nAll the karate club members that personally witnessed this scene didn’t know what to make of it.

nThey watched on in stunned silence as the imposing figure walked back to his original spot and stood there casually, acting as if nothing had happened.

nHowever the seven male karate club members lying collapsed on the ground, unable to get up, indicated that this was indeed reality.

nHow was this possible!?

nThe karate club members’ brains finally whirred back into motion, but they still couldn’t believe it.

nHow was he so quick!?

nHow was he so powerful!?

nWhy… was the difference between them so gigantic!?

nDoubts kept popping up in their minds, but no matter how incredulous the situation was, the reality was right in front of them.

nThis… they couldn’t even fight with him! Kyosuke Akanishi could only inwardly sigh.

nSeigo Harano’s speed and power was astounding. Even Kyosuke was unable to follow Seigo’s movements clearly despite concentrating intensely. As for the other karate club members who fought against him… they probably saw nothing more than a blur before they were defeated.

nThis wasn’t a duel; this was a single-sided beatdown!

nKarate techniques, fighting skills, or dueling experience?

nNone of those were necessary for Seigo Harano!

nHe didn’t need any of these, nor did he need to care about his opponent having them. He only needed to get close and defeat his opponent.

nThe karate club members had no way of stopping him.

nHow could you block blows that you couldn’t even see coming!?

nKyosuke Akanishi was certain that even if he personally fought Seigo, he would be defeated as well. And… he was already the strongest member of the karate club.

nCould they even compete against him?

nHe recalled his previous words at the beginning of the duel. He said something about showing true power to Seigo… Kyosuke felt his face burning up, and he felt the urge to hide in a corner!

nBut he wasn’t able to do so. Instead, as the referee, he had to stand the closest to Seigo.

n

"Two… two points! Seigo Harano’s victory!

" Kyosuke finally made the announcement and gestured for the other members to help their fallen comrades.

nNobody spoke.

nIt was literally silent to the extent of being able to hear a pin drop.

nWhat should they do next?

nKyosuke looked towards Rion and Kotomi for guidance, but to his surprise, he found that twins’ complexion was ashen. Their faces were completely drained of all color.

n‘We were deceived. We were deceived, deceived, deceived, deceived…’ Rion and Kotomi’s minds were endlessly repeating the same word.

nAll of Seigo Harano’s arguments, retorts, sighs, silence, and helpless expressions as he discussed the conditions with them flashed back before their eyes.

nFinally an image of the current Seigo Harano appeared, standing calmly at the centre of the dojo .

n‘We were deceived! At that time, Seigo Harano was merely acting!! All his expressions, actions, and words were all a big lie!!!

n‘He wasn’t even the slightest bit afraid of facing the entire karate club by himself; in fact, he was probably laughing inside when we brought the idea up!’

nThe twins were filled with anger and fear.

nTo normal people, this would definitely be impossible to overcome.

nBut Seigo Harano was no ordinary person—the twins believed they were already aware of that.

nBut they never realized their so-called

"knowledge

" of him… merely scraped the surface!!

nThey knew that he was a monster, a demon, but they couldn’t have imagined that he was—and still is—something far beyond their pitiful imagination.

nHe must be laughing at them.

nWhile he pretended to be an ordinary person conversing with us, he must have been laughing demonically underneath at that time!

nAnd right now, beneath his calm exterior, beneath that tall and handsome shell of his, he must be laughing maniacally!!

n‘He must be looking down on us, filled with disdain for our ignorance…’

nSeiji was indeed looking down at the twin sisters.

nBut that was only in the literal sense, since he was currently standing and they were seated.

nHe neither knew nor wanted to know what the twin sisters thought of him, or their reaction to his inhuman physical ability.

nSeiji only wanted to obtain victory and give them a final chance to choose. He would observe if they kept their promise to change themselves and destroy all the blackmail material, or if they would go back on their word and desperately fight to the end.

nHe didn’t realize that Rion and Kotomi currently viewed him as a tremendously evil, arrogant, haughty, and terrifying demon in human guise.

nEven if he knew, he wouldn’t have cared.

nSeiji was doing all this for Hoshi’s sake. As for how the twins viewed him, or how they ended up, did he need to care?

nThis was why he was so relaxed.

nAs for those behind him… they weren’t so relaxed.

nChiaki, Mika, and Hoshi were also among the astonished.

nDue to the first battle, they were somewhat prepared for Seiji’s incredible fighting prowess, but personally witnessing seven male karate club members being dispatched at lightning speed, similar to the three girls from earlier, shocked them to the core of their souls.

nSo strong…

nSeiji was actually this strong all along…

nOur friend here… Is he actually a costumed superhero?

nThe three of them exchanged silent glances and came into unspoken agreement.

nHoshi was truly amazed. Senpai was stronger than he ever imagined. His worship of… no, his adulation towards Seiji increased even further.

nMika fell into deep thought; it seemed that the depraved otaku had transformed into a miraculous existence beyond her understanding.

nChiaki was seriously considering and guessing at just what type of powerful family the Harutas were!

nThey must have had several world-class powerful people in Seiji’s family’s history… Was Seiji’s father actually the world champion of some martial arts technique? He was probably the type who won several world championships in succession!

nAll three of them remained silent, unable to stem the surge of thoughts which came flooding in.

nThis was just too much to accept!

nAlthough Seiji kept telling them not to worry as he’d win without any problems… they never imagined this outcome!!

nAs the trio glanced at the opposition… they noticed that they were also in a state of stunned amazement !!!

nSilence reigned over the dojo room.

nIf a person’s mental state was reflected in reality, this room would definitely be the opposite of silent. It would be absolute chaos.

nAs the eye of the storm who was responsible for everyone’s unstable mental state, Seiji was actually the calmest.

nThat was why he was the only one who could break the silence.

n

"We’re still not going to begin the next round?

" After waiting to the point of impatience, he looked at the judge, Kyosuke.

nAll Kyosuke did was look towards the twin sisters for direction.

nHe saw that they were still sitting there with ashen faces, neither moving nor blinking.

nThey seemed petrified.

n‘Hey, Harry Potter, zap them with a spell!’ Seiji couldn’t help but think this to himself.

n

"If you don’t hurry up and send someone else… Why don’t you two just come at me personally!? How about it!?

" he shouted in a loud voice. The entire room of spectators heard him clearly.

n

"Answer me! Rion Amami, Kotomi Amami!

"

nThe twins finally trembled as they regained their senses.

nThey lifted their heads and saw Seigo Harano across from them, staring at them with an apathetic expression.

nIt seemed as if there were a huge dark shadow behind his figure, on the verge of pouncing upon them ferociously and filled with condescension and taunting laughter!

nThis was only a hallucination caused by too much fear, but the twins viewed it as reality.

n

"Come, why don’t we have a personal duel?

" Seiji said while gesturing for them to attack him.

nRion and Kotomi were terrified to their cores.

n

"Monster… monster! Don’t come over here!

"

nThey began shrieking.

n

"Who will go defeat it!? Anyone is fine! Go! Everyone go at it!!

"

n

"Everyone go! Defeat… kill this monster!!

"

nEveryone was shocked.

nKyosuke Akanishi was stunned.

nThe karate club members were stunned.

nChiaki, Mika, and Hoshi were stunned.

nSeiji was the only one with a different expression: he frowned instead.

n

"You’re now viewing me as a monster? And you want everyone to come at me and kill me?

"

nHe stepped forward as his expression turned icy, and his gaze became even more distant.

n

"You can’t even obey your own rules which you set yourself? You two… if that’s all you have, then this is over.

"

nHe walked closer and closer to the twins.

nThey watched him approach with increasing terror, as if he were truly a demon.

n

"Even if everyone comes at me together, I’ll defeat all of them. And then I’ll completely, utterly destroy you for breaking your promise!

"

nHis words were ice cold, with zero pity.

nSeiji’s words filled Rion and Kotomi’s ears, sounding like a hellish curse.

nThe twin sisters were unable to resist or escape.

n

"Wahh...

"

nRion and Kotomi broke down in front of their overwhelming terror.

n

"Wahhhhh!!

"

nThey hugged each other tightly as if they were two young children and began crying.

n
