The Solution

"Oh, Byakuya, sorry, sorry. I got a little carried away. Actually, I came to discuss something important with you." Ichinose set down the heavy ion emitter that Ying had bought earlier (which had now turned into an ordinary water gun).

After the "friendly" investigation by the four of them into the items Ying had collected, Ying's dormitory was now a complete mess, with most of the machines falling apart at the slightest touch. What angered Ying the most was that many of the things he bought were fakes. Things like the railgun, memory eraser, short-range teleporter, and invisibility cloak... were all scams.

"Um... Byakuya?" Ichinose interrupted Ying, who was lost in his sorrow.

"Oh, is something the matter, Ichinose? Go ahead." Ying snapped back to reality.

"Actually, it's about Class C. It seems they are preparing to extend their reach into the dormitories. Or rather, Amikura from your group has already become the first victim."

"What!? Those guys in Class C, they're reaching out to mess with me?" Ying said indignantly, as if he wanted to vent all his frustration over buying fake goods onto the people from Class C.

"So, what happened to Amikura?" Hamaguchi asked curiously.

"It's like this: the people from Class C not only write threatening letters and slide them through the door gaps, but they also knock on doors in the middle of the night, only to walk away when you open the door to check," Ichinose explained.

"That's really malicious!" Beppu said angrily.

"Yes, and I've already confirmed that the reason Class C is targeting Class B everywhere is all under the instruction of their classmate, Ryuen Sho," Ichinose said.

"Damn it, didn't Class B already use information as a bargaining chip to get Class C to stop being hostile toward us in the future?" Shibata said.

"Regarding that, Kanzaki and I have spoken to Ryuen, but he refuses to admit that the current actions of Class C are under his orders. So the contract cannot be enforced..." Ichinose said, looking dejected.

"Could it be... that the true goal of Class C is to force Class B to void the contract signed with them?" Hamaguchi said, lost in thought.

"If voiding the contract would stop Class C from harassing Class B, I would seriously consider it," Ichinose said, her resolve hardening.

"You can't do that, Ichinose. Solving problems at the root only leads to more delays. You can void the contract with them today, but what about tomorrow? The day after? Are you going to give them private points?" Ying said angrily.

"Then does Byakuya have a solution?" Ichinose asked curiously.

"Of course I do. If you want Class C to stop harassing Class B, the best solution is to let them know that Class B isn't someone to be trifled with!" Ying said as he stood up.

"Alright, I trust you, Byakuya," Ichinose said after a moment of contemplation.

"Sata, Tetsuya, Ryota! Are you willing to follow me and show those guys in Class C that Class B isn't to be trifled with!?" Ying slammed his hand on the table and shouted.

"Of course! Ying! I've been wanting to do this for a long time!" Shibata was the first to stand up.

Then, Hamaguchi and Ryota also stood up: "We're going to make those guys in Class C taste our power too!"

"Good! I knew I didn't misjudge you!" Ying extended a hand, and Shibata, Hamaguchi, and Ryota placed their hands on top of his one by one.

"Let's show those guys in Class C the power of Class B! One! Two! Three!"

"Go!" "Let's do it!"

"Tetsuya, say 'Go' together..." Ying corrected the discordant voice.

"Again! One! Two! Three!"

"Go!"

"Dominating the world, I charge ahead while the masses look up in awe; dominating the world, I never need to look back..."

The four of them, accompanied by their own background music, walked out of the clothing store with an arrogant, swaggering gait. All four were wearing black leather jackets, black jeans, black sunglasses, fake gold chains around their necks, and fake gold watches on their left wrists.

Ying walked in the front; he was familiar with this posture. He held his head up at a 45-degree angle, deliberately stomping his feet, keeping his back straight, and crossing his arms over his chest. The other three followed behind Ying, mimicking his movements with flair.

Other students who saw the four of them didn't dare to get close.

Following intelligence from Class B students, the four of them walked ostentatiously to the location where Ishizaki and his two companions were, and provoked them by jutting out their chins.

"Who do I see, putting on such a big show! Want to fight!? Come on then!" Ishizaki recognized the four of them and, not to be outdone, jutted his chin back at them.

Ying raised his right hand, signaling Beppu to turn off the background music, and then began to speak.

"Hey! You losers, have you never seen the world before? Do you think you can do whatever you want? Do you know what kind of mistake you've made?"

"Ishizaki, what is this guy saying?" Komiya asked.

"I don't know, but hearing him talk makes me inexplicably angry," Ishizaki replied.

"Our boss said, you guys, do you know what kind of mistake you've made!?" Hamaguchi stepped forward a few paces and pointed his chin at Ishizaki and his group.

"Mistake? Hahahaha! You're killing me!" Ishizaki burst into laughter after hearing that.

"Mistake! You guys made a mistake, and your mistake is provoking Class B!" Ying continued.

"Our boss said, you made a mistake, and your mistake is provoking Class B."

"Hahaha! So what are you going to do about us?" Ishizaki laughed.

Ying raised a hand, and the four of them surrounded Ishizaki and his two companions.

"Hey, don't think we're bullying you just because we have more people," Ying grinned.

"Hmph, want to fight? We aren't afraid." After Ishizaki finished speaking, he clapped his hands twice. People sitting nearby all came over and surrounded the four of them.

"Boss, this is a bad move. I didn't notice earlier, but this place is full of Class C people. We might be in deep trouble," Hamaguchi whispered into Ying's ear in a panic.

Ying gritted his teeth in anger and said, "Don't be afraid, grab your weapons!"

Then Shibata took a brick and handed it to Ying, and Hamaguchi jutted his chin at Ishizaki and the others and said, "Watch closely, our boss is going to split a brick with his bare hands."

Ying took the brick, and with a single chop, the brick split into two.

"Great! The boss is mighty!" Hamaguchi and the other two echoed. Ying held the brick that had been split in two, waved it in front of the Class C crowd, and continued.

"Again!"

Next, Shibata and Beppu brought out three bricks. Ying walked over and delivered another hand-blade strike, splitting all three bricks in two.

"The boss is mighty!" Hamaguchi shouted. Some in Class C couldn't help but applaud.

"Again!!!"

This time, Shibata and Beppu brought out five bricks. Ying still walked over calmly and went straight for a hand-blade strike. It didn't split... He tried another hand-blade strike! It still didn't split...

Everyone present watched this scene in silence, unable to help but hold their breath.

"Hah!"

Ying let out a loud shout and delivered another hand-blade strike, finally splitting all five bricks in two.

"Good!" Everyone present cheered and broke into applause. Ying raised his left hand as if declaring victory, while hiding his slightly swollen and trembling right hand behind his back.

"Bring that one!"

This time, Shibata handed an empty beer bottle to Ying. Ying smashed the beer bottle against his own head with force; with a loud crash, the bottle shattered.

"Another one! Another one!" the onlookers echoed.

Ying raised his hand, and Shibata handed him another beer bottle. He smashed it with force as well, shattering it. Then came the third, the fourth... Ying smashed all ten beer bottles they had brought, then began to provoke the crowd with his chin.

"Now you know how tough our boss is!" Hamaguchi stood beside Ying, imitating his arrogant posture.

Ying grinned, not noticing the blood starting to flow from his head. Beppu noticed it and hurriedly grabbed some paper to wipe it for him.

"Hey, Class B! What exactly are you trying to do? Are we fighting or not!?" Ishizaki had been watching the performance of the four from Class B with cold eyes the entire time.

"Fight? Fight you?" Ying mocked.

"You dare to play me for a fool!" Ishizaki rushed forward, grabbed Ying's collar with his left hand, raised his right fist, and prepared to strike.

"Ishizaki! Calm down!" Komiya hurriedly rushed over and held Ishizaki back.

"Hmph! What exactly do you want!?" Ishizaki let go of Ying and demanded.

"Ahem..." Ying cleared his throat, straightened his clothes, took off his sunglasses, and said.

"Let me reintroduce us, we are..."

"Hamaguchi Jiaqi!"

"Shibata Chengxin!"

"Beppu Yaxuan!"

The three of them also took off their sunglasses.

"Byakuya Yaowen! We are..."

"Class B Boys Group!"
