A Surprise Attack: The Awe-Inspiring Arrival of One Who Looks Down on All
Hashiba Hikaru waved his hand. Anyway, his target wasn't Shimaku Norinori in the first place, and since that guy had already revealed that he was acting with Ayanokoji Atsuomi today, he probably wouldn't be returning to school.
"Hehe, Classmate Hashiba is truly magnanimous."
As a mature member of society, Shimaku Norinori naturally possessed the basic skill of speaking to people in a way that suited them.
He glanced discreetly at Ayanokoji Atsuomi, who was clutching his arm. The man was rapidly losing blood, and if he wasn't treated quickly, it could be very dangerous.
"Can I take Professor Ayanokoji and leave now? He's no longer a threat to you anyway."
After some thought, Shimaku Norinori decided to repay Ayanokoji Atsuomi's kindness one last time.
"That's possible, but something's missing."
"What?"
Shimaku Norinori and Ayanokoji Atsuomi were both taken aback and looked at Hashiba Hikaru's face.
"One more shot needed!"
"Bang!"
This time, Hashiba Hikaru aimed for Ayanokoji Atsuomi's left leg.
The moment the gun barrel spewed fire, everyone saw the boy's smiling face, a moment they would likely never forget.
"Ughhhh!!!"
This time, Ayanokoji Atsuomi's screams were even more intense, because the gun had accurately hit his right leg, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would most likely become a cripple.
"As I just said, if you don't want to choose for yourself, I'll break your legs or feet myself. But I've changed my mind now. So, Professor Ayanokoji, are you satisfied?"
"You bastard... you scoundrel!"
Ayanokoji Atsuomi gritted his teeth, his face pale and completely unable to stand after being shot in both the arm and thigh. His body could only lean towards the ground.
"Professor Ayanokoji!"
Shimaku Norinori glanced at Hashiba Hikaru, his apprehension towards him intensifying. He tore his own clothes to give Ayanokoji Atsuomi a simple bandage, then carried him on his back and asked the boy.
"Classmate Hashiba, can we leave now?"
"Please go ahead."
Hashiba Hikaru turned to the side and raised her hand, the same smile still on her face.
After Shimaku Norinori carried the pained Ayanokoji Atsuomi away quickly, the three "reinforcements" beside him were still a bit stunned. Nanase Tsubasa was a little better off, but the two boys were completely terrified.
"Is there anything else? If not, please leave now."
Hashiba Hikaru immediately sent him away. After all, Ayanokoji Atsuomi's problem was temporarily resolved, but the Kujo Family's problem had not yet begun. The ship that had just docked was very large, and it would never have carried anyone onto the island alone.
"Senior Hashiba... don't you think you've gone too far? We never intended to hurt you..."
Nanase Tsubasa's eyes were complex, filled with anger and confusion.
"This is my own decision, and I'm willing to bear any consequences. You guys should stop making things worse."
Hashiba Hikaru shook her head. "Don't get involved with Ayanokoji Atsuomi in the future. That's for your own good."
After saying this, the boy glanced at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka beside him.
"Let's go."
"Um."
Koenji Rokusuke looked at the three first-year students who were standing there dumbfounded with a smile, his expression quite amused.
"Hashiba Boy is truly ruthless; these people will probably never forget what happened today."
"This has nothing to do with me; they came of their own accord."
Hashiba Hikaru glanced down at the black pistol in his hand; the smell of gunpowder was already pervasive, and a few wisps drifted into the boy's nose.
"Let's use these two weapons as tools for retaliation; after all, the Kujo Family's problem is the real trouble."
"I've already heard the sound."
Koenji Rokusuke pointed to the forest behind them, "It's a group of at least ten people."
"Let's get going and lead them to the location we've prepared."
A smile played on Hashiba Hikaru's lips. Having mastered [Wilderness Survival (Master)], he had already prepared gifts for those people.
"I'll go first, that's what we agreed on earlier."
The blond man smiled, his tone confident.
"Certainly."
Chapter 855 Surprise Attack: A Shocking Arrival that Peerless Overlord.
Ayanokoji Atsuomi's problem was never the biggest one. Now that he has lost his political future, he can't have any impact on the school at all. If it weren't for the Kujo Family, this guy would just be a stray dog.
Hashiba Hikaru's thinking was clear: since the other side was planning a last-ditch effort and had even colluded with the school and the School Board to forcibly stop the exam, they might as well go along with that and solve the problem once and for all.
"These people are all wearing thermal imaging devices; as expected of the Kujo Family."
Koenji Rokusuke looked at the group of men in black who were very close to them. He had initially estimated there to be about ten people, but after counting them, he found that the total number was actually twenty.
"Twenty people would indeed be a bit tricky."
Hashiba Hikaru nodded solemnly. "The Kujo Family's target is me. They might not necessarily harm me, but there's no guarantee they won't shoot at you."
"Don't we have guns too? Even if we only have twelve bullets."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had also received systematic firearms training; Koenji Rokusuke had just handed him a pistol.
"Can twelve bullets take down all the enemies?"
Hashiba Hikaru glanced at him sideways, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"What are you thinking, Classmate Hashiba? Are you planning to wipe them all out?"
"Of course not, they were just doing their jobs for money, they don't deserve to die."
Hashiba Hikaru had no intention of indiscriminately killing innocent people. His idea was to knock them all unconscious, which would solve the problem while preserving his own conscience.
"In that case, I'll put the pistol away for now."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka stared at the approaching men in black. They were wearing thermal imaging devices and would be easily spotted if they hid in bushes or trees.
"Are we almost at the trap?"
"Just a little bit more..."
Hashiba Hikaru rested his chin on his hand. He had just used his [Wilderness Survival (Master)] skill to set up a number of traps in a certain area, which would cause trouble for these guys.
Because people carrying guns will subconsciously rely on the weapon, if they notice someone approaching, they will definitely want to use the pistol to intimidate, and will lose the idea of close combat.
This is perfect for Koenji Rokusuke, who will appear later. His Physical Ability have been recognized by Hashiba Hikaru. How could someone who can leap and move through trees like a monkey be easily shot by a pistol?
Moreover, this is deep in the forest; the denser the branches, the weaker the light and the worse the visibility.
Once they fall into the trap, Hashiba Hikaru will send Koenji to lead the attack, and then he and Ayanokoji Atsuomi will launch the second wave of attacks.
"We're almost there..."
Hashiba Hikaru stared unblinkingly at a spot ahead where he had laid numerous animal traps, along with nooses for binding people.
Five steps to go...
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka also stared intently ahead. The entire enemy force was wearing thermal imaging devices. If possible, catching them off guard would be the best surprise attack strategy.
"Arrive!"
"Click, click,"
"Whoosh--whoosh!"
One of the men in black who was leading the charge suddenly felt his footing give way, and he uncontrollably fell into the pit that had suddenly appeared.
The others behind were startled. In the chaos, two more people stepped on the pre-placed grappling hooks and ropes, and the next second they were dragged backward by a tremendous force until they were suspended in mid-air.
"Careful!!!"
"Ambush! Be on high alert!!!"
After all, they were professionally trained combat personnel. Although a few people encountered unexpected situations, they reacted quickly.
"Enemy attack! Everyone grip your weapons tightly and be aware of your surroundings."
The squad leader was giving loud commands, and everyone raised their pistols and used the thermal imaging cameras on their heads to scan the surroundings.
"Where!"
At that moment, Koenji Rokusuke, as the vanguard of the surprise attack, descended directly from the sky.
"You are... from the Koenji Family?"
The squad leader is one of Kujo Hayato's confidants and knows many more important inside stories.
"Don't fire yet! Prepare for close combat, everyone activate your tactical gloves!"
Before Koenji Rokusuke pounced, each squad member pressed a button on the back of their leather gloves, and with a metallic beep, the soft gloves instantly transformed into hard weapons.
"Heh, more black market equipment? I thought a prestigious family like the Kujo Family wouldn't have any dealings with the black market."
The blond man suddenly appeared in front of the group. Since they didn't immediately shoot at him, they probably recognized him.
Since that's the case, let's settle things with our fists!
I'm over there.
The expressionless youth strode forward, rushing towards the battle ahead. This time, he had no intention of holding back, pushing all his physical abilities to their limits.
Having just resolved the issue with Ayanokoji Atsuomi, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka wanted to thank Hashiba Hikaru, but he soon heard that the Kujo Family had arrived, so he decided to postpone the idea.
Let's thank him after all the problems are resolved.
This was the only thought that flashed through Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's mind as he rushed in front of a man in black. The next second, his fist slammed into the man's face.
"Damn it, another enemy attack!"
As the commander of this operation, the squad leader did not participate in the fight. Instead, after rescuing three straggling comrades, he carefully observed the current situation while holding his gun.
The heir of the Koenji Family definitely cannot fire a gun, or things will get very complicated.
Who is this kid who suddenly appeared?
Never mind, let's deal with him first!
The man in black, who had raised his pistol, took a deep breath and pointed the gun at the boy who was fighting with three other men in black.
Go to hell, you brat!
At this critical moment, an immense spiritual pressure descended from the sky, instantly enveloping the entire area.
"Wait... what is this?"
The squad leader's hand gripping his gun suddenly trembled. He seemed to see a figure in the distance approaching.
"Another enemy attack???"
The man clenched his teeth, and the figure became clearer and clearer. With it came an increasingly intense mental pressure, causing his companions in black to all feel strange.
"What's wrong? My head suddenly hurts so much..."
"Why can't I move my legs...?"
"Damn it! What's going on?"
The group of men in black who were ganging up on Koenji Rokusuke and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka felt an immense mental pressure, as if something had directly burrowed into their brains, forcing their bodies to react.
The men in black trembled slightly and covered their heads with their hands.
"This is..."
The blond man certainly sensed this too, but it only took him five seconds to regain his senses.
"Is this the trump card?"
Koenji Rokusuke stopped referring to the other person as "[Hashiba Boy]" and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"That's terrifying."
