Mio Ibuki

"It's fine, Katsuragi. Let that big guy come over too!"

"But that wouldn't be fair to you."

"Do you really think adding one more good-for-nothing like him will be enough to take me down?"

"Yes!"

Trusting Ye Yunchuan's strength, Katsuragi ultimately decided to let Albert go over.

Unfortunately, even when the two attacked him at once, Ye Yunchuan still dodged their attacks with leisurely ease.

"Throw your punches together, Albert! I refuse to believe this guy can dodge both of us!"

Seeing that they couldn't land a hit, Ryuen grew impatient. He and Albert swung at Ye Yunchuan together, trying to block off every possible escape route.

"How boring!"

Apparently, Ye Yunchuan had had enough fun. He simply raised his palm and stopped both their punches.

"Bang!"

Their fists struck Ye Yunchuan's palm at the same time. He not only caught them, but didn't move an inch or take even half a step back.

"What?!"

Everyone's expression changed at the sight. Ryuen and Albert looked especially as if they'd seen a ghost.

They knew exactly how powerful their combined attack was.

Ye Yunchuan had stopped it without using any technique at all, relying purely on brute strength and an exceptionally tough physique.

"That's insane. Is this guy even human?"

Ibuki Mio's eyes widened. Honestly, she'd never seen anyone stronger than Albert and Ryuen combined.

"You've had your turn. Now it's time for me to fight back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yunchuan yanked the two toward him before they could react.

Then he punched them both in the chest.

Bang~

They were sent flying in opposite directions.

Albert couldn't get back up, while Ryuen struggled to rise.

Why had things turned out this way?

Ye Yunchuan wanted to keep playing with Ryuen a little longer, so he'd put a bit more force into his blow against Albert.

"Damn it! I'm not giving up!"

Ryuen charged at Ye Yunchuan again with all his might.

"Oh no, Ryuen's in danger!"

Ibuki Mio's expression changed drastically.

Unlike the others, Ibuki Mio was a genuine martial artist.

She'd trained in martial arts since childhood.

An expert could tell a lot from just a few moves.

It had taken her only a few exchanges to realize that Ye Yunchuan was terrifyingly strong, and Ryuen was probably no match for him.

Still, she held on to a glimmer of hope for Ryuen.

Ryuen had a vicious streak, and it was that very ruthlessness that had allowed him to beat her.

"Bang~"

Unfortunately, she'd overlooked one thing.

That kind of ruthlessness was useless against a monster more than ten times stronger than you.

No matter how vicious Ryuen was or how little he cared about his own life, it made no difference.

Against Ye Yunchuan, whose attributes surpassed the limits of human beings, all he could do was take a beating. Ye Yunchuan kicked him flying again and again.

"I've about had my fill of this. Let me finish you off!"

After beating up such a weak opponent for so long, Ye Yunchuan was getting bored.

He lifted his foot and aimed a kick at Ryuen's face, intending to end things with one blow.

"Stop!"

Just then, a voice called out to him.

"You took the bait!"

At the same time, the corner of Ye Yunchuan's mouth curled up slightly.

Chapter 42: Ibuki Mio

"Who are you?"

Even though he already knew who she was, Ye Yunchuan still looked at her coldly.

"I'm Ibuki Mio!

I want you to spare Ryuen. He may be arrogant and unruly, but he's an excellent fighter. I think you could use someone like him."

The one who'd stepped forward to plead for Ryuen was none other than Ibuki Mio.

"Do you like him?"

Ye Yunchuan's expression turned suddenly playful.

"No! How could I possibly like a thug like him?!"

Ibuki Mio's pretty face flushed, and she hurriedly denied it.

"Then why save him?"

"Didn't I already say? He's a talented person, and it'd be a shame if he died just like that."

Ibuki Mio began to grow impatient.

She wasn't wrong. No matter how you looked at it, Ryuen was indeed a rare talent.

"But unfortunately, I don't need an ungrateful dog that can't be tamed. It'd be simpler to just get rid of him."

As he spoke, Ye Yunchuan raised his foot, ready to finish Ryuen off.

Seeing this, Ibuki Mio panicked and hurriedly asked,

"Wait! What will it take for you to let him go?"

Ye Yunchuan lowered his foot and glanced back at Ibuki Mio with a smile.

"How about you become my woman? If you bear me a child, I'll spare his life."

"Fine, I agree!"

Ibuki Mio agreed to Ye Yunchuan's demand almost without hesitation. But it didn't take long for her to realize what she'd just said. Her face reddened as she stammered,

"W-w-what? Y-you want me to have your child?!"

Ibuki Mio's eyes widened. She'd never have imagined in a million years that Ye Yunchuan would make such an outrageous demand.

"Martial arts? I didn't expect to find something so rare!"

Ibuki Mio's looks and figure weren't top-tier, but the chance to gain martial arts was more than enough to make Ye Yunchuan interested in her.

After all, it'd been a long time since he'd gotten anything that could boost his combat strength.

And martial arts were especially rare.

"What? Are you going back on your word?"

Ye Yunchuan's expression turned cold.

Ibuki Mio's face was red. Ye Yunchuan did look quite handsome, after all, and she couldn't help feeling a little pleased that someone so attractive was interested in her.

"Hmph! Who would want to be your woman?"

But with her strong-willed personality, she clearly wasn't going to give in just like that.

"Fine. If you won't agree, then I'll just kill him!"

The moment he finished speaking, Ye Yunchuan began to raise his foot to kick Ryuen in the face.

"Wait! Let him go. I'll do it."

In the end, Ibuki Mio bit her lip and agreed to Ye Yunchuan's demand.

"Don't agree, Ibuki Mio! Even if I die, I don't need a woman to save me!"

Ibuki Mio had agreed, but Ryuen couldn't stand to watch this happen.

"Shut up. If I'm letting you live, then just live."

Ye Yunchuan kicked Ryuen, knocking him unconscious.

"Good. We've got Class A, Class C, and Class D. Who can tell me where Class B is?"

"Class B? I know."

Someone from Class D stepped forward.

To Ye Yunchuan's surprise, it was a gyaru.

If he remembered correctly, she was...

Spirit: 5

Comprehension: 4

Strength: 4

Constitution: 5

Trait: Minor Villain (The person who impregnates her will have a high chance of gaining a minor evil ability.)]

"Isn't she the gyaru from Class C who bullied Karuizawa Kei? I didn't expect her to meet the system's requirements too."

Ye Yunchuan was quite surprised.

What surprised him even more was that Ryuen hadn't taken advantage of her yet.

If it had been him, he'd probably have already used her to claim the reward.

That showed Ryuen had more self-restraint than he'd expected.

"If you know, then tell me."

Ye Yunchuan glanced at Manabe Shiho.
