Tsuna was quick-witted and quick-handed. When he saw him move, he reacted immediately and grabbed Shouko's arm, pulling her behind him.
Worried that the chair would hit her, he didn't control the strength when pulling her. The sudden movement made her lose her balance, and she almost fell to the ground.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise.
The chair hit the concrete floor in front of Tsuna. The moment the sound rang out, he could clearly feel Shouko behind him shudder.
Maybe Shōya came to his senses at the last moment of the hit, so he didn't hit the other person. It was also possible that he was afraid that if he hit him, the consequences would be very serious.
"Tsuna, are you okay!?" Shouko quickly broke free from his hand, ran to him, and began to check if he was injured.
She knew that the chair hadn't hit him, but she couldn't stop worrying, especially since he had pulled her behind him.
Tsuna saw her worried expression, suppressed his anger, and instead chuckled softly to soothe her.
"I'm fine. You're worse off than I am. You were just startled, but I didn't feel a thing at all."
He reached out and took her hand, urging her to get out of his way. "Move aside for a moment, and remember to call Takeuchi over."
Shouko knew exactly what he was going to do next, but this time, she didn't even bother trying to dissuade him.
Seeing Miyamura's darkened face at the door, Miki sensed something serious was about to happen. She quickly turned to the girl next to her and said,
"Nao, Nao, please call that four-eyed bastard. My instinct tells me Ishida might be in serious trouble..."
As for why she didn't go? Of course, it was because she was the class monitor. If things got too serious, she would have to help stop them, but whether she could succeed was uncertain, heh...
The girl finally turned her gaze away from Tsunayoshi and Shouko, nodded quickly, and ran out the back door of the classroom.
Without a word, Tsuna rushed to the podium and launched a kick at Shoya's precious heir.
This time, the opponent had learned his lesson. Although he couldn't dodge, he blocked the kick with his hand. Although he blocked it, the pain was still intense due to the pressure.
Distracted by the pain, Shōya was hit by Tsuna's second kick and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Tsuna simply rode on top of the opponent and punched him in the face.
Every time Shōya tried to resist, Tsuna's punch cut him off, forcing him to hold his head in defense.
Tsuna's punches hit his arms, and he was annoyed. Seeing that he hadn't completely blocked the attack, he thought of punching him there, but it was just a thought.
He wasn't crazy, right? A punch there would make him start experiencing life all over again.
He only hit the opponent's stomach and chest two or three times and then stopped, focusing all his attacks on the opponent's face.
"Tsunayoshi, use this, use this." At this time, the anxious voice of Shouko sounded from the side.
Tsunayoshi first punched Shōya under him and then took the opportunity to look over.
He saw that Shouko was holding a wooden stick in her hand, and when she saw him looking at her, she hurriedly handed the stick to him.
Tsunayoshi looked at her silly face, not understanding where the stick came from.
Shouko blinked her big eyes, and saw that he didn't take it at first. She became a little anxious and then saw from the corner of her eye that Shōya was ready to put his hand down to hit Tsunayoshi.
Without a trace of hesitation, Shouko took the stick in one hand and hit Shōya's arm, which interrupted the other party's thoughts and actions.
"Ah!"
Shōya hadn't uttered a single sound since the beating began, but then, suddenly, from Shouko's blow, he cried out in agony.
Tsuna stared at Shouko in shock, her movements making it seem as if she was going to deliver a second blow.
"What are you two doing?! Are you two going to gang up on your classmates?!" At that moment, Mr. Takeuchi's voice boomed from a distance behind them.
He'd already reached the door; when he'd heard the girl tell him that Miyamura was being threatened with a chair and threatened with a beating by Ishida, he'd rushed over without stopping.
The old bald man was ready to kill him now, and if Miyamura's son was injured, the consequences would be unthinkable.
But when he reached the door, he saw Miyamura Tsunayoshi straddling Ishida Shoya.
Nearby, Nishimiya Shouko was still holding a wooden stick, wary of Ishida, ready to strike at the slightest resistance.
For a moment, he couldn't tell who was hitting who, but Ishida's screams finally brought him back to his senses, and he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Bang!" At that, Shouko quickly dropped the stick in her hand, confused as to why she'd even considered giving Shōya a second blow\...
Tsuna, seeing this, also disengaged himself from her, taking Shouko aside and ready to call her parents.
Shōya rose from the ground, his eyes slightly red, but with so many people watching, he dared not cry out loud, only gritting his teeth.
"What's going on!? What's going on!? How did it turn into a brawl? And Shouko even brought weapons?"
Nao, who had just returned to the classroom after calling the teacher, had witnessed Shouko's earlier fight and couldn't help but question the others as she returned to her seat.
Then, Miki explained the situation to her.
Nao found it a bit incredulous. They'd been together for over six months, and she had a good idea of Shouko's personality.
Her previous general impression of Shouko as delicate and easily pushed down was now completely nullified.
Even Miyamura only dared to fight Ishida with his bare hands, but he hadn't expected Shouko to be armed. From what Miki had said, it was a mixed doubles match, and when Miyamura got tired, Shouko would hit him with a stick.
The students in the classroom shared the same sentiment as Nao, and they were all stunned.
Tsunayoshi and Miyoko were the most surprised.
"What were you thinking? You even hit that spiky-haired guy with a stick?" Tsuna, stepping aside, whispered to Shouko.
Shouko didn't hear him clearly, but she could tell by his lip reading that he was careless and stopped to check him for any injuries.
She replied worriedly, "I saw he was about to hit you. I was afraid you'd get hurt, so I did it."
"Come on! Come with me to the office." Before Tsuna could say anything, Takeuchi-sensei interrupted their conversation. He then turned and shouted to the people below,
"Study on your own this class! The class monitor also has to come with me to the office and explain the whole story."
