But in reality, this is the stance that best showcases her abilities.
Saeko Busujima approached her, and just as she raised her bamboo sword, her feet, hidden beneath her loose training clothes, slipped, and she darted behind Tenyu like a nimble monkey. Even among all those present, they only saw a blur of motion.
Martial arts, in essence, is the utilization of explosive power.
Explosive power is only the most superficial manifestation.
Saeko Busujima's leap was not just a burst of power; she mobilized all her strength, which flowed naturally through her arm into the bamboo sword. Combined with movements that had been practiced countless times and refined to the extreme, she swung it towards Tenyu!
"—Although I couldn't go all out, at least this attack was the best I could do!"
Poison Island Style Secret Technique: Third Sword - Thunder Strike.
call!
A sound broke through the air.
The air seemed to have been sucked out of the container.
Everyone instinctively leaned back, seemingly trying to avoid something.
Perhaps the body's instinctive reaction also detected it.
—A chilling killing intent.
Even after recognizing them, they still stared wide-eyed, imprinting the scene before them in their minds.
The outcome has been decided.
"..."
Saeko Busujima remained motionless.
Part of the bamboo sword in her hand has disappeared.
It was as if it had been inserted into a cutting machine and was neatly cut off.
Although she was still waving her hand, what truly immobilized her was not the inability to accept the outcome, but the fact that the tip of Tianyu's finger was pointing directly at her throat.
"It's so dangerous."
Tianyu showed no joy at his victory, remaining quite indifferent.
"I almost killed you."
"However, if it were a real sword, it wouldn't have been so easily cut in half by me."
"……Feel sorry."
Saeko Busujima sighed softly.
“Most people have countless concerns, but they are irrelevant to me.” Tianyu lowered his hand and glanced at the red and even bruised fingertips of his other hand.
Even for her, breaking through the opponent's slash was not an easy task.
But at least the goal was achieved.
Next, many restless individuals will likely come to challenge themselves, adding some fun to their future campus life. Gradually, everyone will get used to being at the top.
Only then can it be called a conquest.
Thinking of this, Tianyu Zhanzhan looked around the dojo. Some people were afraid of her and dared not meet her eyes, while others admired her and showed worship on their faces. But as she had said before, these were all insignificant things.
"Listen up, you guys."
"I, Tianyu, welcome any challenge. Well, it would be a bit unreasonable not to offer something in return. So how about this—as long as you can defeat me, I'll do anything you ask."
A faint smile played on her lips, and her voice was soft, like a whisper from a demon bringing strife to the world.
"you……"
Saeko Busujima's expression was complicated.
To be honest, she had some respect for the girl in front of her.
Because the other person did something she dared not do.
The scene erupted in noise.
Of course.
Putting aside her exaggerated fighting prowess, Tenyu Zanzan is undoubtedly a beautiful girl.
The arrogance and domineering presence emanating from her very being could easily be described as an 'Empress'.
Many people began to speculate wildly.
But no one dared to step forward.
Perhaps some of them have already made up their minds to put in countless efforts to defeat their opponent, but at least for now, there is no one in the entire Shuchiin who can match them.
...No, it's not that there's none at all.
"Hey Isshiki, I have a question for you."
Yato suddenly asked.
"what?"
Does the school have a Jeet Kune Do club?
"Uh, I think so. This fighting style is quite popular."
"What about the fighting club?"
"A fighting club? What's that?"
Isshiki was taken aback by the question.
Does the school have such a club?
"No need to say anything more, I understand, thank you."
"Oh, you're welcome... Wait, senior, what do you want to do?"
Isshiki Iroha waved her hand subconsciously, and then saw Yato stand up.
Ignoring the anxious junior, Yato put his right hand on his hip and met the gaze of Tenyu, who was looking over.
"I won't ask whether what you just said counts or not. I just want to ask, if I defeat you, can you join my gang?"
"?"
The crowd erupted in uproar, their gazes fixed on Yato as if he were a brave warrior daring to challenge the pinnacle of human achievement.
Of course, there are also people who don't have a good opinion of Yato from the bottom of their hearts.
But they also began to consider the possibility of bringing Tenyu Zanzan into their camp.
Tianyu Zhanzhan not only possesses exceptional personal martial arts skills, but also seems to have a remarkable background. Such a person undoubtedly has high value for friendship.
Sitting next to Yato, Yukino and Iroha were at a loss, especially Yukino, who opened her mouth but didn't know where to start her comment.
What do you mean by joining my club?
They are both still members of the 'Homecoming Department'.
However, after realizing what was going on, Yukino seemed to understand what Yato was planning to do.
"Your club? That's too easy a requirement."
Tenyu Zanzan narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Yato, this 'troublemaker,' with great interest.
With her sharp eyesight, it's understandable that she hadn't noticed before, but now that she has, there's no way she could have been mistaken.
The conclusion can be drawn at a glance.
This man is not weak.
His physique, posture, and aura all demonstrate a unique quality that sets him apart from ordinary people. Even by the standards of a martial artist, he would receive a very high score.
"If you need to recover your strength, we can schedule another time."
Yato said deliberately.
"Now you can."
Having encountered another expert, how could Tianyu possibly hold back?
Besides, she is indeed in pretty good physical condition.
The bruises on my fingers are nothing compared to the injuries I sustained during my past cultivation.
Rather, would a blade be unable to kill someone simply because it's a little dull?
Yato leaped over the crowd.
The people in front of him instinctively made way for him.
"Is it alright to borrow this space, Busujima-kun?"
Yato stood opposite Amane, not forgetting to greet Saeko Busujima.
"Today is an exchange competition, and anyone with ability can show their skills here."
Saeko Busujima smiled gently, seemingly having recovered from her recent defeat.
Having said that, he picked up the broken bamboo sword and, very considerately, retreated to the sidelines.
The stage was left to two outsiders who belonged to neither the judo club nor the kendo club.
But given the circumstances, no one will criticize it.
After all, this level of combat is usually only seen in the world of dark martial arts.
Given their age, it's unlikely that their parents would take them to such places, or even mention it.
Because that's not something they need to know at this stage.
Chapter 16
The next day, in the student council room.
"Fighting Club?"
Amakusa Shino put down the application in her hand, looked up at Yato, her face full of doubt.
"There shouldn't be any name clashes, right?"
Yato pushed up his glasses.
It has to be said that Iroha Isshiki gave him a wake-up call.
If you look down on the clubs at school, why not start your own?
Although thinking about this only in his senior year of high school might seem like a waste of his youth, Yato didn't care. In the end, he didn't make this decision to cherish the rest of his youth.
"I don't recall any club with that name. To be honest, I can't understand what this club does. Are they a combat club? Or is it something like a dormitory at night...?"
"Shut up, can't you think a little more positively?"
Without a word, Yato interrupted Amakusa Shino, whose eyes were shining.
"That's what I'm talking about, Xiao Xiao."
Seven Sky, standing to the side, spoke in a serious tone, as if lecturing a child who had made a mistake:
"According to a saying circulating in China, it is generally recommended to do it during the day."
"I see! Speaking of which, boys are more sexually active when they wake up during the day."
"You two have really gone too far!"
The only girl in the office who was concentrating on her work had veins bulging on her forehead, and she even broke the pen in her hand.
"Please consider the reputation of the student union."
Amakusa Shinobu and Shichijou Sora exchanged a glance, their expressions blank, seemingly unable to comprehend what mistake they had made.
"..."
Katsura Hinagiku sighed deeply.
This year's student council is very popular. After hearing about it, she felt a strong desire to join and immediately decided to learn useful knowledge and experience from the outstanding seniors, contribute her modest efforts to the teachers, students and alma mater, and incidentally... earn more scholarships to ease the burden on her family.
