I'm a Sea King in the Multiverse of Anime Chapter 9

Chapter 11: Wisteria's Death

Komuro Takashi's behavior not only infuriated Miyamoto Rei, but even the two girls nearby shook their heads in disapproval.

One was Takagi Saya. This act of Komuro Takashi's had undoubtedly refreshed her understanding of him yet again—actually helping Wisteria discipline Miyamoto? How could anyone be so stupid?

The other was Busujima Saeko. Though she had been raised with Yamato Nadeshiko-like values, even she found Komuro Takashi's conduct inappropriate.

Saeko had also noticed that Wisteria was preaching some kind of cult, brainwashing the students. And Komuro Takashi? He hadn't even realized it, had he?

Besides, it was obvious that Miyamoto Rei had a grudge against Wisteria. Yet Komuro Takashi, who supposedly liked Miyamoto Rei, actually helped Wisteria discipline the girl he liked.

Saeko didn't want to speak ill of others, but she couldn't help feeling that Komuro Takashi... really wasn't fit to be a good teammate, a good friend, or a good lover...

"Komuro Takashi! Let go of me!"

Miyamoto Rei was furious with Takashi now. If there was anyone she hated most, it was undoubtedly scum like Wisteria Koichi. Yet Komuro Takashi was stopping her from killing him.

Society had collapsed anyway—killing a piece of trash like Wisteria was no big deal!

"Rei—" Komuro Takashi still wanted to persuade her not to be so agitated. He hadn't even noticed what was wrong.

Creak!

After the school bus reached a safe spot, Lin Feng braked the vehicle, shoved the meddlesome Komuro Takashi aside, walked up to Miyamoto Rei, and grasped her trembling little hand.

"You must be Lin Feng, I presume. To see a student of Fujimi Academy with such ability, I as a teacher am very gratified—"

Even now, Wisteria Koichi still emphasized the teacher-student dynamic, clearly trying to use his authority to make Lin Feng obey.

But Lin Feng paid no attention to Wisteria's words. How could Lin Feng not know that Wisteria was Miyamoto Rei's enemy?

Lin Feng, standing in opposition to Wisteria, had already become the focus of the entire bus.

"Who the hell do you think you are, acting so cocky?!"

At that moment, a tall Blondie immediately stood up. "Teacher Wisteria is talking to you! What kind of attitude is that?!"

Obviously, he wasn't really standing up for Wisteria Koichi.

What pissed him off was that the hot girl he'd been pining after for ages, Yuki Kumi, hadn't even glanced at him once since getting on the bus.

Blondie also noticed that Kumi's gaze toward Lin Feng was full of adoration—her eyes were practically glued to him!

Burning with jealousy, he decided to beat Lin Feng to a pulp in front of Kumi.

So Blondie reached out his right hand to grab Lin Feng by the collar, then swung his left fist, the size of a sandbag, at Lin Feng's face.

He wanted to make Kumi understand: in the apocalypse, a pretty-faced pretty boy was useless. Only brute strength made a real man!

"Oh? You want to fight?"

No one could detect the extreme ruthlessness and indifference toward human life hidden beneath that handsome face.

Lin Feng's eyes were sharp. With practiced skill, he caught the incoming wrist, twisted it outward with force, and then delivered a powerful kick to Blondie's stomach.

"Aaah..."

After being kicked in the gut, Blondie immediately vomited bile.

Wisteria watched this violent scene. Thinking of how to manipulate the students with his words, he clapped his hands and said in that grating tone:

"Lin Feng-kun's skills are truly impressive—truly, very impressive!"

With so many students here, Wisteria believed Lin Feng wouldn't dare lay a hand on him, a teacher. He adjusted his glasses and spoke in a tone of moral superiority:

"However, using violence against a fellow student like this only confirms my theory... Indeed, the leader should be a more reliable adult!"

"A reliable adult?" Lin Feng frowned slightly.

This villain Wisteria really had an annoying way of speaking. But no doubt, while he was rallying some students to his side, he was also making Takagi Saya and the others thoroughly disgusted with him.

In the Apocalypse, Wisteria Koichi was the eldest son of a local councilman, but his position as family heir had been stolen by his half-brother. So he outwardly pretended to serve his brother willingly, while actually seeking to uncover his father's weaknesses and destroy his family.

Such a treacherous bastard—he had all the makings of a final boss. Better to just kill him now, before he could cause any more trouble...

With that thought, Lin Feng picked up a baseball bat and said with amusement, "Wisteria-sensei, who was it that just said the old world was over, and the weak had no right to live?"

Wisteria Koichi's face twisted with embarrassment as he stared at Lin Feng. How did he know what he'd said?!

Just as Wisteria Koichi was about to defend himself, Lin Feng swung the bat and smashed it directly into Wisteria's handsome face.

With that one blow, Wisteria Koichi's nose bridge shattered, his front teeth broke, and blood gushed out.

A once-handsome face was ruined.

Lin Feng kept swinging as he listed Wisteria Koichi's crimes: abusing his authority to make Miyamoto Rei repeat a grade, using his teacher status to coerce female students, and even kicking over a classmate who begged him for help while escaping.

"A scumbag teacher like you—what right do you have to live?!"

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Blow after blow. Smashing into Wisteria Koichi's face. That handsome face was now completely deformed and caved in.

Only when the face was thoroughly pulverized, and Wisteria himself had stopped breathing, did Lin Feng put down the bat.

Though Lin Feng now inhabited an eighteen-year-old body, in the eyes of those students, he was no different from a god of death.

The Fujiwara Cult followers in the back seats didn't even have the courage to face him.

So, violence really is the best tool for solving problems.

Both the male and female students stared at Lin Feng with terrified eyes.

This sunny-faced man was merciless when he struck!

But Miyamoto Rei beside Lin Feng clapped and cheered at the sight of Wisteria Koichi beaten beyond recognition. If Komuro Takashi hadn't held her back, she would have already jabbed him with her gun.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Lin Feng.

Ding! "Miyamoto Rei Affection Points +20. Miyamoto Rei now regards you as a lover!"

"Thank you, Lin Feng-kun."

Miyamoto Rei stood on tiptoe, ready to lightly kiss Lin Feng's cheek.

But Lin Feng kissed her soft lips instead, using his tongue to pry open her teeth.

For her first French kiss, Miyamoto Rei responded to Lin Feng clumsily. Having her tongue tangled like this made her a bit shy, but she didn't hate it.

"You really are a bad guy in every sense of the word," Takagi said from a nearby seat.

"Is that so?" Lin Feng released Miyamoto Rei, whose eyes were misty, and gave a cool, faint smile.

Even so, Takagi Saya had to admit she truly loathed Wisteria Koichi's incessant preaching of his cult.

Dokushima Saeko watched the whole process from the side. When Lin Feng had killed just now, there wasn't a flicker of emotion in his eyes—clearly, this wasn't his first time.

And as Dokushima Saeko saw the bat deform and tear against Wisteria Koichi's face, and heard his screams, she felt a twisted pleasure.

Sure enough, she was a woman burdened with sin.

Ding! [Dokushima Saeko Affection Points +20]

Komuro Takashi's heart burned with growing rage, and what irritated him more was that Miyamoto Rei had willingly kissed Lin Feng.

Damn it!

Lin Feng... you've already lured Rei away, made her someone I don't recognize at all...

Ding! [Komuro Takashi Corruption Points +20]

Komuro Takashi muttered to himself, speaking to the air, "Lin Feng, if you weren't here, everything would be fine! Hahaha!"

"That guy's already broken!"

Takagi Saya, who had been watching him closely, shook her head. Komuro Takashi was no longer the Komuro Takashi she knew. Now, his eyes held only jealousy and resentment.

Wisteria Koichi was dead.

The disgusting Wisteria had been eliminated, but the remaining students still felt hollow inside.

One Fujiwara Cult disappeared, and another cult would fill the void in their hearts.

Just then, Kumi stood up, her eyes seductive as she glanced at Lin Feng. Then she said, "Wisteria Koichi was scum! I support Lin Feng as the leader!"

"I support Lin Feng too. Everyone getting out alive is thanks to Feng-kun. No one's more fit to lead!" Miyamoto Rei's beautiful eyes shimmered with love as she looked at Lin Feng.

"I also agree with Lin Feng taking the leader's seat," Saeko said, finally opening her closed eyes. She stood up, holding her blood-dripping wooden sword, and swept her purple gaze over the crowd in the back of the bus.

Saeko, as a girl, had her own selfish motives. She wanted the leader to be someone she at least approved of.

"Sigh... since Saeko-senpai agrees... I'll go along with Lin Feng being the leader too."

Takagi Saya pushed up her glasses and spoke in a resigned tone. Though the young lady felt Lin Feng's inner nature was no less rotten than Wisteria's, he had saved her after all...

Next, Meiling, Minami, Takuo, and the others Lin Feng had protected while rushing onto the school bus all voiced their support.

Even the brainwashed students who had originally backed Wisteria, seeing this shift, changed their stance and turned to Lin Feng.

After all, they were just small people going with the flow.

"He beat someone to death!"

For a moment, Komuro Takashi looked at his childhood friend and the valiant Dokushima-senpai both supporting Lin Feng, and a dizzying sense of disbelief surged up.

"Damn it!"

Why? Why does everyone support that guy Lin Feng? Even Dokushima-senpai and Saya are like this!

Just as Komuro Takashi was about to jump out and accuse Lin Feng again, Blondie, Kumi's steadfast pursuer, immediately objected. He hopped on his feet and said, "Kumi, what right does this murdering bastard have to be leader?"

Hearing this, Kumi's charming face instantly darkened. This simp wasn't obeying her, so she said coldly, "This is the result of everyone's democratic vote. Didn't you see it? Since you disagree with everyone... what a shame! Then please get off the bus!"

"Wh... what? Kumi, you're not joking, are you?" Outside were all zombies; getting off meant certain death.

Blondie couldn't believe that the beautiful, alluring Kumi would say such a thing. His eyes went wide.

Miku waved a hand, and the four boys who had originally followed the Fujiwara Cult stood up, switching to Lin Feng's protection, all eager to seize a chance to prove themselves.

They immediately surrounded Blondie, beat him black and blue, then pinned his arms and shoved him toward the bus door.

"N-no... please, I... I was wrong..." Blondie stared at the grotesque zombies outside, a faint yellow stain starting to spread on his pants.

Lin Feng wrinkled his nose in disgust, directly opened the door, and had them push him out.

Rules are built on "violence."

All nonviolent means are backed by violence.

If the leader who sets the rules lacks the ability and authority to manage others, then those beneath him will do as they please, completely disregarding him.

"Lin Feng, I know I was wrong... I know I was wrong... let me back on the bus... AHHH!" Blondie's cries for help quickly drew a horde of zombies.

But now the entire school bus was filled with laughter and cheers—they were celebrating the birth of a new leader!

As for Blondie, who had been thrown out, his life or death mattered as little as an ant dying by the roadside.

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Feng walked over to Komuro Takashi, whose face was dark with gloom, and spoke amiably.

"Komuro, do you have any objections to me being the leader?"

"I... I..." Komuro Takashi glanced through the window at Blondie being devoured by zombies outside and temporarily shut his mouth.

After that, Komuro Takashi sat down in a seat by the window.

The seat to his left was empty, but no one sat there.

Because he had been ostracized by the group of students led by Miku.

A hot girl like Yuki Miku was very skilled at carrying out Japanese-style bullying with her classmates.

It was also closely tied to Japanese social culture—in fact, as long as a student was different from the others, they could easily become a target.
