Hawk~tui

Shinnosuke walked into the third-year classroom building alone and casually slid open a classroom door.

"Excuse me, which one of you is Shinomiya Kai?"

Everyone in the classroom froze for a moment, then, to his surprise, they all got up and headed toward him.

The person in front grabbed Shinnosuke by the collar.

"Hey, kid, who do you think you are, calling Mr. Shinomiya by his name? Use an honorific, you hear me?!"

Shinnosuke glanced around and found no teacher present, which struck him as odd.

"Um, sorry, could I ask where Shinomiya Kai is?"

The man's face turned red with anger, and he raised a fist and punched at Shinnosuke!

"Can't you understand what I'm saying? Use an honorific, you bastard!!"

Shinnosuke frowned, twisted the wrist of the hand gripping his collar, and planted a punch in the man's face, sending him flying backward and knocking over a row of desks and chairs!

"What are you doing? I'm just looking for someone..."

Seeing this, the others lunged at Shinnosuke with savage expressions, intent on teaching the arrogant bastard a lesson!

A series of crashes and thuds came from the classroom before it fell quiet again. Shinnosuke dusted himself off, walked out, and headed for the next classroom.

"There's just no talking to these guys..."

Through the classroom door, the people inside could now be seen sprawled motionless across the floor...

Just like that, Shinnosuke went into two more classrooms in succession, and the result was the same each time: a group of people attacked him without a word. He couldn't help marveling at the barbarity of this country.

Shinnosuke scratched his head as he looked at the unconscious people on the floor, thinking that at this rate, it would take forever to find Shinomiya Kai.

As he sighed, he spotted the classroom speaker out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

Eikichi Onizuka was in the office with a cigarette between his lips, texting an older woman he had met the day before, when a piercing sound suddenly rang out, startling him so badly he nearly threw his phone away.

"Bzz~~ hello, hello, hello~~ crackle~ hello? Ah, it's working! Uh... I'm Shinnosuke Nohara from the first year..."

People around the school reacted differently.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who was watering the plants in the gardening club, turned around upon hearing the voice.

"Hm? What's Nohara doing there..."

Seki Kiriko had just finished an intense basketball club training session and was sitting in a chair resting. Hearing the voice over the PA, Kiriko froze.

"Hm? Isn't that Nohara's voice?"

Sugihara Kei had been working out constantly lately and had slimmed down considerably, but Kei's eyes shone with confidence. Upon hearing the voice, Kei looked up at the speaker and said nothing.

The first-years around the school were also startled when they heard it.

"Isn't that Big Brother Nohara's voice?"

"It's Brother Nohara's voice!!"

Just then, Shinnosuke's voice came over the PA again.

"Um, I'm Shinnosuke Nohara from the first year. Uh... Shinomiya Kai-senpai from the third year, sorry for the trouble, but could you come to the schoolyard when you hear this? I'd like to challenge you. That's all."

Eikichi Onizuka closed his phone, leaned back in his chair, and took a drag on his cigarette.

"Phew... I'd guessed this would happen a while ago, but this guy really is unexpectedly cocky... Good thing the principal isn't here... Come to think of it, hasn't he been here less than a month...?"

The noisy school suddenly fell silent. Kinoshita Hideyoshi covered Kinoshita's mouth in surprise, dropping the watering can at Kinoshita's feet and spilling water all over the ground...

Seki Kiriko looked shocked, then smiled knowingly.

"What a crazy guy..."

Sugihara Kei clenched Kei's fists and left the judo club without a word...

Go and Horii had also heard of Shinomiya Kai, and they looked at Inoue Ryushi in surprise.

But Inoue Ryushi's thoughts had already drifted away, and the memory of his defeat at Shinnosuke's hands surfaced in his mind.

You've finally taken the first step, so I can't let you down!

He then turned and walked down from the rooftop.

Meanwhile, a short silver-haired figure wearing glasses sat on a sofa and took a sip of coffee, then looked out the window with a scornful smile. A cold glint appeared in his glasses.

This was none other than Shinomiya Kai! He too had swept through the entire school as a first-year, becoming the first man in its history to become student council president within a week of enrolling!

When Shinnosuke finished speaking, he got up, patted his backside, and sauntered over to the schoolyard. By then, it was already packed with onlookers, and his mouth twitched at the sight.

"Are you fuckers here to watch a monkey show?? Get the hell back!! Get out of my sight."

Most of them jumped and retreated a good distance. The few who were bolder were carried back by their companions. Were they kidding? That was Shinnosuke Nohara! If they pissed him off and he didn't beat the shit out of them, it would only be because they'd already emptied their bowels!

Shinnosuke curled his lip. People loved watching a spectacle no matter what country they were in...

Just then, a huge crowd poured out of the third-year classroom building and headed toward Shinnosuke, cursing as they came.

"Which bastard is Shinnosuke Nohara?! How dare you say something so disrespectful to Mr. Shinomiya!!"

"I'm gonna kill you!!"

"Don't get too cocky, kid!!!"

Shinnosuke stared expressionlessly at the crowd approaching him, his throat working.

"Hawk~tui!"
