READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 16: Chapter 15: "What, Was There Alcohol in Your Bread?"
Sobu High School.
Half the day flew by quickly, and with the sound of the bell, it was lunchtime.
Second-Year, Class D.
The trio of Shihara Tadakuni, Tabata Hideyoshi, and Tanaka Yoshitake walked through the hallway, their school uniforms covered in muddy splotches.
The curious stares from students in other classes, as if they were zoo animals, made their moods plummet.
"Damn it! If I run into that white-haired bastard again, I'm gonna make him pay for ruining my uniform," Tadakuni grumbled, chewing on a bland piece of bread with frustration.
That morning, not only had their uniforms been dirtied, but after climbing the wall to avoid being late, they were caught by the security guard and made to stand in front of the school gates for an hour.
If their homeroom teacher hadn't come to retrieve them, they might've been standing there all morning.
"Ah~!"
Yoshitake dramatically flipped his hair, his eyes narrowing sharply. "If I see him again, I'll make him taste my ultimate move!"
Hearing this, Tadakuni and Hideyoshi shivered.
They both knew their friend's "ultimate move" wasn't something ordinary. It was inspired by Naruto's Tiger Seal technique and was reportedly quite lethal.
That ultimate move was none other than…
"Secret Art: Thousand Years of Pain!"
"No need, no need," Hideyoshi quickly said.
"Yeah, no need to go that far. Killing's against the rules," Tadakuni added.
"Fine, since you both insist, I'll seal my ultimate move for now," Yoshitake declared, dramatically folding his arms.
The three chatted and joked as they walked.
Their destination was one of Sobu High's famous grassy fields—a place where the grass was lush, the flowers were beautiful, and, more importantly, groups of girls often gathered to eat lunch there.
A guaranteed mood-lifter.
Boys' High School Life Rule #1: Admire beautiful girls daily to keep spirits high.
As they approached a stairwell at the corner, a tall figure with white hair came into view.
"T-That's…!!!"
Yoshitake trembled with excitement, his hand shakily pointing ahead.
"The culprit behind our misery!"
Tadakuni and Hideyoshi shouted in unison.
Damned white-haired guy. What rotten luck to run into him here at Sobu High!
"Hehehehehe…x3"
The three exchanged evil grins.
This morning, he'd made a mess of them. Now, it was time for payback.
In a flash, they scattered, pressing themselves against walls and carefully trailing him.
"Reporting in. Target is about to turn left. Awaiting orders. Over," Hideyoshi whispered, pressing an invisible earpiece against his ear.
"Follow closely. Over," Yoshitake responded a mere three meters away, with a perfectly unnecessary hand signal.
Tadakuni, watching this from behind, was utterly baffled.
Why do you two have invisible earpieces? And why the tactical hand signs? We're only a few meters apart!
"Sometimes, I feel like I'm not ridiculous enough to fit in with these two…"
Rolling his eyes, he followed suit.
After a minute of sneaky pursuit, they stopped outside a restroom.
"Oh, he actually entered a public toilet. In that case, you two wait for me and see how I destroy his confidence as a man." Yoshitake said confidently, flipping his hair back.
As a man, he believed he had an advantage.
Without waiting for a reply, he strode into the restroom.
Five seconds later, he stumbled out with a lifeless expression, collapsing to the ground while muttering, "Impossible… How is that even possible…?"
Seeing Yoshitake's broken state, Hideyoshi adjusted his glasses and smiled condescendingly. "Well, your 'equipment' isn't even as long as a finger. Let the real professional show you how it's done!"
With that, Hideyoshi confidently entered the restroom.
Five seconds later, he too emerged, his face pale and his eyes vacant. He muttered the same words: "Impossible… This can't be real…"
Watching both of his friends fall, Tadakuni snorted.
"What's wrong? Was there alcohol in your bread or something? You two got overconfident, and now you're acting like you've seen a ghost. Looks like it's up to me to set things straight."
He tightened his belt and confidently walked into the restroom.
Five seconds later, Tadakuni stumbled out, collapsing next to them with the same expression.
"That thing... it's not something a human should have!!!..."
