Immediately after.

"Ding -"

A figure suddenly flashed behind the tall man.

"Tsk..."

The tall man seemed to have noticed and quickly moved his body aside, avoiding the long knife that swung from behind. He then quickly took two steps back, creating distance between them.

Seeing the newcomer.

"Oh, it's you."

He acted as if he recognized the person.

Hiyori readjusted her grip on the long knife and looked at the tall man, furrowing her brows involuntarily. It seemed like a serious situation, but was this the only reason?

"Are you the one from yesterday?"

After confirming the other person's identity.

"What are you doing here?"

She stared at him intently and asked.

"What am I doing? Of course, I'm here to finish what I didn't get to do yesterday. Your interference yesterday made me have to work overtime for free today. I have a lot to complain about, and I didn't expect to run into you again. It seems like you're in cahoots with each other."

"So you're trying to harm Ryuto-sama?"

Seems like there's a misunderstanding.

However, it's better not to interrupt here.

It took a lot of effort to use my invisibility skills that I've cultivated for many years, reducing my presence and blending into the background. If I speak up, won't it be ruined?

The tall man looked Hiyori up and down.

"Oh... I can tell you're from a school by your uniform. It seems like you really are in cahoots. I don't know who this Ryuto guy you mentioned is, but since you're obstructing me again, I have to treat you as an enemy."

"If it's related to Ryuto-sama's safety, then I can't back down either."

With that, Hiyori also took a stance.

Hey, hey, why does it smell so strongly of gunpowder? And it feels like there's some misunderstanding here. But it seems like no matter what we say, these two won't listen anymore.

"Fine, if it has to be this way, then let's get started. Let's continue from yesterday."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them charged forward at the same time.

It's rare to see Hiyori taking the initiative to attack.

As they approached each other, the tall man threw a right straight punch, seemingly freed from his previous restraints and even faster than before.

On the other hand, Hiyori didn't stop, but instead moved forward. When the fist was about to hit her, she suddenly tilted her head to the left, narrowly avoiding the tall man's punch.

By now, she had completely gotten behind the tall man. Using the momentum from her previous leftward movement, Hiyori gripped the long knife with both hands and swung it horizontally towards his abdomen, not using the back of the blade.

"Reaper's Cut, Horizontal Storm."

Hey, hey, using such force could kill someone, right? Ryuto couldn't help but worry.

In the next instant.

"Dong -"

An unexpected clash of metal was heard.

The image of the tall man's body being split in two, as imagined, did not happen.

"This move doesn't work on me. Don't you know...?"

On the contrary, the tall man chuckled confidently.

What's going on? Did this guy wear some impenetrable armor made by a certain country? This is getting absurd.

Before he could finish speaking, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, a gust of wind pressure struck. The tall man seemed to realize what was happening, but it was too late.

The lateral wind pressure hit the tall man along the trajectory of the long knife. The tall man flew out horizontally, like a baseball being hit. His body flew straight and there was no parabolic motion.

The tall man continued to fly backwards, hmm, it was a low-altitude flight, I guess. How jealous I am.

He crashed into the wall behind him.

"Boom-boom"

The sound of the collapsing walls came from a distance, followed by rising dust.

Uh, Miss Hiyori was too awesome this time. It's the legendary two-stage attack, and the person who flew out flew for more than ten meters while maintaining a low-altitude flight state and crashed into two walls.

I feel like Miss Hiyori is a little terrifying today. It's better not to provoke her easily. By the way, it seems like we owe apologies to the people who repair walls on the roadside recently. Since Hiyori came, how many walls has it been?
