This Is No Longer an Ordinary Classmate

Knowing that a classmate is committing a crime, should one report it or join in? This is a question. If you let it be, it is equivalent to tacit approval; if you forcefully stop it, you become an enemy of the small group. While removing cancer cells, you inevitably affect the function of healthy cells.

Yamauchi had been developing a "Great Thunder" ranking for a long time, and today he planned to secretly place a camera in the changing room to settle a betting pool and determine the true winner.

"I'm betting on Ichinose."

"I think Hasebe is stronger."

The cries of the monkeys came one after another.

The swimming pool...

Nani, even the little angel Ichinose is coming.

Nagami, who had been proactively monitoring their Line messages, learned of this news.

Damn monkeys, it seems I need to strike The Three Idiots with a heavy fist; this has gone beyond the behavior of ordinary classmates.

Why do I know about the secret filming plan? I deciphered the Morse code gestures of Ike.

The content was [11 o'clock, changing room, plan execution].

Why am I at the pool? I was invited by Hirata, who is such a nice guy.

Battle commander Sotomura.

"This is HQ, Alpha One, everything is normal, please respond."

"Alpha One, received, proceed with the original plan."

Eat my knuckle punch.

"Ah!"

After emitting the sound of being struck, Sotomura fell into a baby-like sleep.

It was too easy to guess; the person commanding the entire swimming pool must be at a high vantage point.

"HQ, what happened? Please respond, please respond."

"Sotomura has been KO'd. I suggest you come back quickly to save him, otherwise, wait to be expelled from school."

Nagami used Sotomura's unconscious finger to unlock his phone, saved the Line chat history, and sent it to his own phone.

"That voice is... Nagami. What is he trying to do!"

"Let's go, let's beat him to a pulp."

Soon, The Three Idiots arrived at the rooftop.

"You bastard, what did you do to Sotomura?"

"Three unevolved monkeys."

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Sudo immediately walked over. He is, after all, a brainless ape.

"Hey, Sudo, wait a second."

Ike and Yamauchi said.

"Oh? You're not choosing to run away, but instead approaching me?"

"I can't beat you to a pulp if I don't get closer."

"Then come a little closer."

"Muda."

A punch with 700kg of force slammed toward Sudo's face. Sudo immediately blocked it with both hands, retreating a few steps.

"No fracture? It seems the usual basketball training is useful after all."

Pain spread throughout Sudo's entire body. His enraged brain was left with nothing but instinct. He roared and charged forward.

"Going for real? Then I won't hold back."

The finishing move is here!

Nagami curled his body, dove low, and compressed his entire frame like a spring. His calf muscles exerted explosive force, driving his thighs, abdomen, back, and neck forward like a cannonball.

The tiles beneath his feet deformed slightly under the reaction force.

Sudo's body lost its balance under the powerful impact and fell to the ground.

"Mora da (Got you)."

Nagami took the opportunity to mount Sudo's torso.

"Hey!" ⬆ Punch "Hey!" ⬇ Punch "Hey!" ⬆ Punch

"This is my full-power strike!"

Nagami's arm muscles tightened until they were crimson, cutting through the air with a whistling sound as he slammed his fist heavily toward the head.

Sudo's face turned pale, and in his eyes, it was as if a revolving lantern of his final moments was appearing.

The surrounding scenery seemed to slow down like an animation, and his brain flashed through the important memories of his life.

[Is this how my life ends?]

My body instinctively used both hands to protect my head.

Bang! The sound of a balloon popping echoed throughout the building.

The tile floor that Sudo had just grazed cracked under the powerful impact.

With the whites of his eyes showing, the victim let out intermittent whimpering sounds before fainting.

(He must have been knocked unconscious by the sound.)

(If that had hit his body, it wouldn't just be a matter of lying in bed for a few days.)

"Hey, aren't you afraid of being expelled from school for beating Sudo like this?"

"Sudo-kun, are you alright?"

"Hmph, you want to try it? Did you forget why you came to the swimming pool?"

"!"

Yamauchi and Ike froze, then immediately bolted toward the door.

That was the fear born from the instinct to survive.

"Oi, don't run. You wouldn't want Kushida to find out about this, would you?"

The two idiots stopped in their tracks upon hearing that.

"If the girls find out you're perverts who take secret photos, your three years here are finished."

"Just thinking about it is terrifying, isn't it?"

Nagami walked slowly toward the two of them.

His footsteps sounded like the whispers of the Grim Reaper.

"Especially you, Yamauchi. You actually dared to stalk me? You're really tired of living!"

Cold sweat poured down Yamauchi, his hands and feet turning icy despite the summer heat.

"Muda!"

Yamauchi flew into the air, blood spraying from the corner of his mouth.

Grabbing him by the collar with his left hand, he threw punches with his right.

"Muda!" "Muda!" "Muda!"

Yamauchi's face was unrecognizable.

"Is that all? How boring."

"Ike-kun, considering how miserable they look, you won't be getting away either. You don't want to be an outcast and get shunned, do you?"

"Eek!!!"

"Take this!"

It's been a long time since I've stretched my limbs; this feels great, Nagami couldn't help but sigh.

He sent a Line message to The Two Loners, telling them to clean up the mess.

"Wow! What a tragic scene."

Horikita said.

"But they got what they deserved."

"I originally told Horikita because I wanted to resolve this matter, and now the problem is perfectly solved," Ayanokoji said.

"Yeah, let's tell the nurse that they were playing a game of catching basketballs with their faces."

"I wonder if the teacher will believe it."

"Don't worry, as long as no one files a complaint, the school shouldn't care," Horikita explained.

Beside the swimming pool, Nagami sat on a chair, comfortably basking in the sun.

Just then, Ichinose suddenly shouted.

"Nagami-kun, over here, the ball went over there."

Ichinose shouted from the court, wanting Nagami to go pick up the ball.

Nagami stood up and walked to the edge of the court to pick up the ball. When he looked up, he saw the members of the Class B group playing by the beach staring at him.

"Wow, Nagami-kun, your muscles are so big, it's a bit scary."

Ichinose's friend, Shiranami, was so frightened she hid behind her.

Did I fail to retract my aura from earlier?

"Eh, really? Sorry, sorry. I just really like working out."

Nagami spoke as he walked, preparing to hand over the ball.

"Are your abs real? Can I... uh."

"They're the real deal."

Nagami smiled.

"Wow, they're so hard."

Ichinose touched them with her palm, and the sound of a shattering mirror echoed in the air, though it was unclear if it came from a girl or a boy.

"Ichinose, let's start playing. The other students are waiting for you."

Kanzaki interrupted. Note: Ichinose's sidekick.

"Are you playing beach volleyball, Nagami-kun?"

"Sorry, I don't do cardio."

"Eh, Nagami-kun has that kind of quirk? Alright then."

(Watching beautiful girls play ball by the pool is truly a feast for the eyes. School life is certainly interesting.)

Nagami nodded at their retreating backs and turned around, immersing himself once again in the leisurely school time.

"Look, that person over there is Nagami, right? I heard he's incredibly good at fighting."

While taking a stroll, he could hear people whispering nearby. "Yeah, yeah, but he seems pretty gentle, too."

(There are always some idle rumors from time to time.)

Nagami chuckled to himself.
