In outsiders' eyes, Akasaka Ryunosuke was the boss of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and Horikita Suzune. Logically, he should be very formidable.
Ryunosuke himself also thought so, he even managed to deceive himself...
What could he do, his subordinates were all very capable, one person could beat ten. Ryunosuke reflexively considered himself skilled at fighting, until finally this embarrassing situation was created.
Kei's gaze looked empty.
(This is bad... this person named Akasaka can't be relied on...)
She began to feel desperate.
Ryunosuke clicked his tongue. If he had known, he wouldn't have rashly acted the hero. Now it had become awkward instead...
Ibuki looked at him confused. "You're this weak? Then why are your subordinates so strong while you're weak like a bird?"
Ryunosuke stood with a flat face, reluctant to answer. He felt very embarrassed now, how could he want to entertain Ibuki's question? Right now, he was racking his brain looking for a way to get out of this situation.
Seeing herself ignored, Ibuki wasn't angry. She instead looked at him with interest while putting her hands in her pockets.
"No wonder you never took action yourself. I thought you were very great, turns out you're just trash who can't fight. Tch."
Ibuki instantly lost interest. She turned and looked at Ishizaki beside her.
"This person is yours. I've already lost interest in him. Remember, don't waste time, or boss Shiina will know."
Ishizaki clenched both fists tightly.
"Just leave it to me, I'll finish it quickly."
Without further ado, he immediately attacked. Ryunosuke's body was in very poor condition, he couldn't resist at all. He was thrown to the ground and sprawled again in front of Kei.
Kei was now crying sobbingly. She kept sobbing; this situation was too similar to her past bullies, awakening very deep bad memories.
"Haaah..." Ryunosuke sighed resignedly. "Never mind, don't cry. You'll be okay."
He raised his finger, trying to wipe Kei's tears.
Kei brushed his hand away and sobbed. "I-I don't need your pity! You must think I'm a burden, right? Then don't mind me!!! Go away! This isn't your business!"
Kei tried to drive him away, trying to save this classmate. Things like this... let her alone bear it.
"Haa..." Ryunosuke let out a long sigh again.
He was well aware that with a physique like this, it was impossible for him to win against the muscular man in front of him. However, he couldn't just leave a girl who was crying like that.
In his mind, a blurry memory flashed of a blonde girl crying in front of him.
That girl wore a luxurious purple princess dress, had beautiful purple eyes, and slightly chubby cheeks, but he couldn't remember who it was.
Ryunosuke held his throbbing head. Since coming to this world, his past memories were indeed a bit blurry. He didn't just transmigrate at this age, but from the beginning. It's just that the memories of his previous life only awakened this year, making everything he experienced before feel vague, as if he had forgotten something very important, including a promise...
He shook his head, trying to set aside that matter. What was urgent now was handling this situation; how could he counterattack to protect himself while saving Kei.
Ryunosuke remembered the explosive power he had when in Chuunibyou mode, which was enough to break seven ribs of a fat-bodied person with just one kick. He didn't know the principle behind it, but he really needed that power now. However, to enter Chuunibyou mode, he needed stimulation from external objects.
The problem was, there was nothing around him, not even the Stardust Dragon card. How to trigger it?
While hesitating, he noticed the hair ornament on Kei's ear. It was a cartoon character image, precisely an image from Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica.
Ryunosuke's eyes immediately sparkled. He asked for that earring from Kei who was still crying.
"Can you lend me your earring for a moment, Karuizawa-san?"
Hearing that, Kei who was wiping her tears answered curtly, "Why haven't you left yet, you weakling?"
A vein appeared on Ryunosuke's forehead. "I admit I'm weak, but can you respect me a little! After all I'm here to save you."
"Who asked to be saved? You yourself ended up getting trapped!!!" Kei shouted loudly, clearly her mentality was shaken.
Ryunosuke walked closer without caring, held Kei's earlobe, and said with a flat face, "Borrowing for a moment."
"Eh?" Kei was stunned.
The next second, she felt pain in her ear as if something was forcibly pulled. It was her cartoon earring that she had just bought at the store earlier.
Kei reflexively wanted to take it back, but Ryunosuke gently placed his finger on Kei's lips.
At this moment, Akasaka Ryunosuke seemed to transform into a different person; he had activated Chuunibyou Mode.
He caressed Kei's thin lips and showed a smile full of affection.
"Beautiful lady! Next is time for the knight to fight. Beautiful lady is not allowed to shed tears~"
Ryunosuke, like a true gentleman, wiped the tear stains at the corners of Kei's eyes. This made Kei's face flush red and she was unable to speak anymore.
Now Ryunosuke had attached that earring to his own ear. He stood up, from somewhere he took out a "cigarette" (which was actually just a folded leaf), lit it, then exhaled "smoke" like Sanji possessing his body.
"Making a beautiful lady cry is not the action of a true gentleman."
Ishizaki could only gape. "Has this person gone crazy?"
Meanwhile, Hirata and Chiaki who were hiding watching on the side... Especially Chiaki, her eyes sparkled.
"Ohoho! This mental condition! This is acute-level Chuunibyou!!!"
The Matsushita family was a psychologist family, and she was very interested in things like this. She immediately took out a small notebook and began recording Ryunosuke's mental condition.
Hirata who saw Chiaki's behavior could only smile resignedly, but didn't say anything. He moved his wrists; if Ryunosuke couldn't hold on, he would step in. Although he wanted Kei to be independent, it didn't mean he would leave her in danger.
Ibuki had her back to them standing guard, so she didn't know the situation behind her.
Ishizaki sighed. "Never mind, I don't know what craziness you're doing, but I have to finish this quickly. Don't blame me, Akasaka!!!"
After saying so, he swung his fist as big as a sandbag toward Ryunosuke.
Ryunosuke calmly threw away his fake "cigarette." His hand touched the ground as support, he immediately did a handstand and rotated at high speed, releasing great kinetic energy.
With the ankle area, he kicked Ishizaki's waist while shouting the name of his technique:
"Moutonne Shot!!!"
Ryunosuke used Sanji's classic kick attack, directly sending Ishizaki flying far with three broken ribs.
"AAAAAAGH!!!"
Ishizaki didn't expect the attack to be so powerful. He screamed in pain, flew over Ibuki's back, fell in front of the girl, and immediately fainted.
Ibuki was frozen stunned for a few moments from shock. After coming to her senses, she turned around with a face full of enthusiasm.
This was clearly a kicking technique!!!
That was her main specialty, how could she not be enthusiastic?
Ibuki looked at him with eyes sparkling full of fighting spirit.
"I knew it, as the boss of those little monsters, how could you not have real abilities? You really deceived me earlier!"
Ibuki moved her ankles, looking very enthusiastic.
