Chapter 616: Six Swings in One Second! Into Both Men and Women?
Hearing Nogami Izumi's threat, which sounded scary but was really just the usual gyaru trash talk, Hikari wanted to slap her.
But he could feel Yoshida Saki behind him gripping the corner of his clothes with trembling hands, her small face slightly pale from nervousness. She was probably already scared after hearing the argument.
And besides, he still had other things to handle outside school later. Hikari did not want to waste time with an immature gyaru like Nogami Izumi.
"If you've got the ability, then come," After casually saying that, he pulled along the nervous-looking Yoshida Saki and left the girls' changing room area.
Hikari led Yoshida Saki down the hallway. Before they had gone very far, Tazaki's screams came from behind them.
Clearly, after getting caught red-handed trying to steal their underwear, Tazaki was at the very least going to get beaten badly.
But while beating Tazaki, Nogami Izumi was not enjoying it as wholeheartedly as she usually did when bullying people. Hikari's face kept appearing in her mind.
Not because she was like Sanada Minako beside her, whose cheeks were still slightly red and whose brain was full of lustful thoughts about Hikari.
The main reason was that Hikari's dismissive attitude toward her made the usually arrogant Nogami Izumi extremely irritated.
But after thinking back on what she had just said to Hikari, Nogami Izumi realized she really did not have any good way to get revenge on him.
After all, Hikari was obviously not like a disgusting fat otaku like Tazaki. He was not someone she could easily control.
Even if they really fought, the three gyarus might not even beat Hikari together. And Hikari also knew a lot of people.
Girls like Reina and the others were fully willing to support him. Even Sanada Minako and the others around her might be affected by Hikari's pretty-boy charm and not support her as firmly as Reina's group did.
Thinking about how she had just made threats, yet did not seem to have any way to deal with Hikari, Nogami Izumi became even angrier and viciously kicked Tazaki, who was currently rolling around while covering his head, several more times.
'Right now I can only place my hopes on that hypnosis thing. Maybe it'll really work.'
'Hmph! Once the hypnosis manual arrives, I'm definitely going to practice hard. Then I'll make that arrogant Hikari work like a servant for me and kneel down to lick my feet!'
'But I don't even know if it's real or not. When the time comes, I'll test it out on this disgusting bastard Tazaki first!'
Unable to think of any other good idea for revenge, Nogami Izumi could only focus all her attention on hypnosis.
After getting caught this time, that fat otaku Tazaki would definitely obey everything she said. Then she could properly use him to practice hypnosis first.

Meanwhile...
Completely unaware that Nogami Izumi was still "thinking about him constantly," Hikari had already brought Yoshida Saki out of the school.
On the way home, Yoshida Saki rarely took the initiative to speak out of curiosity, "Hikari-kun, was Tazaki really planning to sneak into the girls' changing room, steal Nogami Izumi and the others' underwear, and do something perverted?"
Hikari nodded, "Yep."
Even though she often watched unhealthy things online herself, Yoshida Saki was still a girl after all, and she shook her head, "Stealing clothes and stuff... I still don't really get it."
Looking at the puzzled eyes behind Yoshida Saki's glasses, Hikari smiled, "You don't need to understand it. Just like when Nogami Izumi and the others falsely accused you before, you couldn't understand that either, right? Some people are just like that, so just think of it as dogs biting each other."
"Mm!", Yoshida Saki nodded. She actually did not care much about that kind of thing.
Compared to that little incident, she was happier that Hikari was actually willing to walk her home today.
[Ding! Successfully stopped Tazaki's underwear-stealing pervert incident and spread the spirit of pure love!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Reward received: Pure Love Points +50!]
Hearing the system reward notification, Hikari nodded slightly.
The reward was not much, but he had only solved it casually because he happened to run into it. Getting something was still better than nothing.
During the rest of the trip home, Yoshida Saki kept actively finding topics to chat about with Hikari.
Even though she was always quiet and reserved at school, she had become more and more cheerful in front of him.
Hikari also responded to her from time to time.
Just as the two of them had walked about a hundred meters away from school and reached the corner of a street, a figure suddenly blocked their path.
"Stop!", The figure stood in front of them and suddenly shouted.
Hikari and Yoshida Saki were forced to stop. Hikari slightly raised an eyebrow as he looked at the figure without speaking.
The person standing in front of them was an old woman with graying hair wearing a sanitation worker uniform and holding a broom.
"Eh... Granny, is something wrong?", Yoshida Saki asked the figure blocking the road in confusion.
The old woman did not explain much. She only swept the broom in front of her and said, "I need to clean this street. Don't walk this way, or you'll dirty the ground again."
Hearing the old woman's words, Yoshida Saki looked confused, "Eh... that's not right, Granny. The street's so wide. You clean your side and we walk on ours. It shouldn't affect anything, right?"
"Take another road. Don't interfere with adults working," The old woman insisted they change direction.
"If it's really too dirty, I... I can help sweep too...", Looking at the gray-haired old woman with her bent back, Yoshida Saki said.
"Oh, why are you talking so much? Hurry up and go another way!", The old woman impatiently raised the broom to chase them away.
"No... you're being unreasonable...", Yoshida Saki still wanted to say something.
But the old woman already looked impatient and was acting like she was about to drive them away.
Just as Yoshida Saki was about to continue speaking, several figures suddenly appeared behind the old woman and quickly walked toward them.
All of them were young men with brightly dyed hair, and several even had tattoos on their bodies.
"Go! Go! Go! Hurry up and leave! Stop getting in the way!", After noticing this, the old woman became anxious and once again raised the broom to chase Hikari and Yoshida Saki away.
But a blond-haired young man behind her quickly stepped forward, grabbed the broom handle, and sneered at her, "I was wondering why so few people were walking down this street. So it turns out it was you, you old hag, driving everyone away!"
"Baka! Good thing I noticed it, otherwise today's targets really would've escaped. Damn old thing!"
As he spoke, the blond youth shoved the old woman with his elbow, making her stumble and almost fall to the ground.
"Hey! What are you doing?", Seeing the old woman almost get knocked over, Yoshida Saki could not help shouting.
But after raising her head and clearly seeing the blond youth's face, her expression immediately changed, "I-It's you?! Hayato?"
"Yeah, it's me! Surprised? Didn't expect this, huh?", The blond delinquent glanced at Yoshida Saki and sneered coldly. It was none other than Hayato, who had tried to hit on Yoshida Saki at the bookstore yesterday, failed, and later got beaten badly by Hikari.
After seeing fear appear on Yoshida Saki's face, Hayato smugly looked away and turned toward Hikari beside her, staring at him with a sneer.
But what annoyed Hayato was that Hikari did not look panicked like Yoshida Saki. Instead, he remained very calm, which irritated him.
What Hayato did not know was that Hikari truly was not surprised at all by his appearance.
Because he had already known.
Earlier, when Hikari was still in the club room and had just finished a large group exchange activity with Akane and the Sakuramiya sisters, the Pure Love Radar had already given him an NTR warning, informing him that Hayato planned to block Yoshida Saki outside school in revenge for what happened yesterday.
That was why he had specially gone to find Yoshida Saki and offered to walk her home.
So Hikari truly was not surprised at Hayato suddenly showing up.
"Hey, you two. Come with us," Hayato signaled to several delinquent friends beside him. As they slowly surrounded Hikari and Yoshida Saki, he coldly shouted at them.
"Wh-What are you trying to do?", Seeing Hayato's fierce expression and the four or five people he brought with him specifically to surround them, Yoshida Saki looked frightened.
"Nothing much. Just want to have a little talk with you," Hayato sneered. He ignored Yoshida Saki and instead looked at Hikari beside her.
Hikari naturally understood very clearly why this blond delinquent had specially brought people here to block them.
So he showed little reaction to the threatening look in Hayato's eyes.
Without even waiting for Hayato's friends to move closer and pressure them, Hikari took the initiative and said, "Fine. Let's go talk."
"Good. Hikari-kun sure knows what's best," Hayato smiled and turned to walk deeper into the street.
Meanwhile, his friends still stayed to the sides and behind Hikari and Yoshida Saki, clearly intending to pressure them and stop them from escaping.
Hikari did not care. He simply grabbed the hand of Yoshida Saki, whose body was trembling slightly, and led her forward.
At that moment, the sanitation worker granny suddenly spoke up, "Don't... don't..."
The old woman was obviously nervous toward this group of delinquents who clearly looked dangerous. Her words came out stuttered, but kind-hearted as she was, she still instinctively wanted to stop Hikari and Yoshida Saki from being harmed by them.
Hearing that the old woman seemed like she was about to ruin things, Hayato immediately stopped walking and fiercely glared back at her.
The old woman got frightened and could barely speak anymore.
Seeing this, Hikari casually took the broom from the old woman's hand and smiled, "No need to worry, Granny. Go work somewhere else first. Also, let me borrow the broom for a bit. I'll return it later."
Looking at the blond delinquents surrounding Hikari, with dragon and tiger tattoos on their arms and backs, the old woman did not dare say anything more.
Her wrinkled hands could only tightly grip the dustpan as she helplessly watched the two well-behaved high school students get forced by the delinquents toward the deeper, less crowded part of the street.
After leading Hikari and Yoshida Saki deep into the alley where nobody else was around, Hayato turned around and sneered at them.
"Surprised? Didn't expect me to come looking for you today, right? Finding which school you two attended took me a hell of a lot of effort," Hayato walked up to Hikari and sneered at him.
Yoshida Saki could not help asking, "H-Hey! What exactly are you trying to do?"
"What am I trying to do?", Hayato gave an evil grin, "Yesterday I kindly tried to make friends with you, but you little bitch humiliated me. So what do you think I came here for today? Of course I came to screw you to death, you filthy s!ut!"
"And him too!"
As he spoke, Hayato pointed at Hikari.
"Y-You're into both men and women?", Hearing Hayato's words, Yoshida Saki was shocked, though her focus was clearly on the wrong thing.
Hearing Yoshida Saki's words, the delinquent friends beside Hayato all looked at him strangely.
Hayato himself froze for a moment, then hurriedly explained, "N-No, no, no! That's not what I meant! I mean I'm going to beat him half to death! Beat the hell out of this bastard!"
To avoid misunderstanding, Hayato pointed at Hikari and shouted, "You remember yesterday when you sneak attacked me and beat me up while I wasn't paying attention, right? Today I'm going to teach you, you immature brat, a proper lesson! Just a high school kid, yet you dared act so arrogant in front of us adults!"
After Hayato explained himself clearly, the delinquents all relaxed and immediately started backing him up.
"Exactly. Just a high school student, yet he dared lay hands on Hayato. He really doesn't know his place!"
"Today the big brothers are going to teach you a lesson and show you what a real delinquent is!"
"This pretty-boy face of yours must've tricked plenty of girls into sleeping with you at school. Today we'll carve a few scars into it, hehehe!"
Watching the delinquents ramble nonstop and even start tongue-clicking like they were rapping, Hikari felt speechless.
He weighed the broom he had borrowed from the sanitation worker granny and calmly said, "Are all delinquents like you? You talk way too much. So are we fighting or not?"
"Hayato, you said I sneak attacked you yesterday, right? Then today I'll let you make the first move."
Hearing Hikari still speaking so arrogantly after already being "surrounded," the delinquents instantly became furious.
"Just a high school brat, yet he dares say such arrogant crap."
"So cocky! Get him!"
"In a bit I'm gonna screw that girl right in front of him and shove my foot into his mouth!"
Enraged by Hikari's words, Hayato and the other delinquents all burst into anger, grabbing iron pipes, batons, and other weapons as they charged toward him.
But before they could even show off their practiced street fighting skills as delinquent thugs, Hikari, who had originally been surrounded in the middle, suddenly disappeared from their sight.
BANG!
A red-haired delinquent rushing in front suddenly got kicked in the stomach. A huge force hit him like a speeding train crashing into him. Along with intense pain, his whole body flew straight into the nearby wall.
Then Hikari moved slightly again and instantly appeared in front of another orange-haired delinquent. One punch smashed into his chest. The sound of bones cracking rang out, and the orange-haired delinquent immediately collapsed to the ground without even managing to scream.
A lot seemed to happen, but everything occurred within an extremely short moment. The other delinquent youths, including Hayato, had only just reacted.
Just moments ago, they were still confused about where the surrounded Hikari had gone. When they finally came back to their senses, they only saw two companions lying in pools of blood, while Hikari, still holding the broom, calmly looked at them with the same indifferent expression as before, as though it had never changed.
"Why'd you all stop moving? Weren't you going to teach me a lesson?", Hikari shook his hand, flicking a few drops of dirty blood onto the ground, then turned toward Hayato and asked.
At this moment, Hayato, who was being stared at by Hikari, felt cold run down his spine. Cold sweat poured from him, and his legs shook uncontrollably, like he had been targeted by a terrifying tiger ready to devour him.
"I...", Hayato's lips trembled as he prepared to say something.
But before he could speak, Hikari suddenly appeared directly in front of him.
Hikari raised the broom high in his hand and swung it down rapidly.
Six swings in one second!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The broom moved so quickly it left afterimages as it smashed heavily onto Hayato's head, even visibly denting his yellow explosion-style hair in a little.
Looking at Hayato, whose vision was spinning, Hikari kicked him and sent him crashing to the ground.
