This Scoundrel Actually Wants to Slap My Face?

The class quickly divided into groups, and unsurprisingly, Kato Megumi was left standing alone.

She had been standing right beside Li Yu and Yukino Yukinoshita the entire time, yet whenever someone came to invite Yukino, they would subconsciously ignore the person next to her.

This situation gave Yukino Yukinoshita a firsthand look at just how absurd Kato Megumi's talent was; she was practically a natural-born assassin.

"Groups are all settled, right? You three over there, how are you splitting up?" Shizuka Hiratsuka scanned the classroom, her gaze eventually resting on Li Yu's side.

Hearing Shizuka Hiratsuka's words, the class was stunned. Three? Everyone immediately looked toward Li Yu.

Where did a third person come from? There were clearly only two! That was the first thought for most, but they soon realized something was wrong.

"Wait! Why is there someone else beside them?" A student with sharper perception gradually reacted, though only after focusing his mind.

Otherwise, he would have subconsciously ignored the girl standing next to Li Yu.

Hearing this, everyone was confused. What kind of nonsense was this? There were clearly only two people there.

The others still couldn't detect Kato Megumi; it could only be said that this talent was far too authoritative.

"Alright, that student's talent is a bit special. You, come over here, I'll team up with you." Seeing the situation, Shizuka Hiratsuka immediately spoke up to stop the noisy students.

She then had Kato Megumi follow her, intending to mentor her personally.

Hearing the teacher, Kato Megumi hurried out, and the students in the class finally focused their attention, only then managing to see her.

Discovering that there really was such a student, everyone was shocked. Was this not too ridiculous? How could her presence be so low?

"Alright, everyone start preparing! Practice against each other!" Once Kato Megumi arrived, Shizuka Hiratsuka called out and led her to an open space.

She began giving Kato Megumi private instruction; with a talent like that, she should be learning assassination techniques!

"Let's begin as well." Seeing Kato Megumi being called away, Yukino Yukinoshita turned her gaze to Li Yu.

Hearing this, Li Yu naturally had no objections, and the two found a spot in the spacious classroom.

Looking at Li Yu, Yukino Yukinoshita said with a serious expression, "Li Yu, I hope you won't hold back! Please give it your all!"

She asked for Li Yu to go all out right from the start; she wasn't intimidated in the slightest, truly not fearing that Li Yu might actually hurt her.

However, Li Yu thought back to what Yukino had told him earlier regarding her talent... "No problem, then let's begin!"

As he spoke, Li Yu assumed a stance. Since she had asked him to go all out, what was there to hesitate about?

Yukino Yukinoshita saw this and also took an opening stance. The two locked eyes, and then Li Yu moved.

With a single step, Li Yu instantly rushed in front of Yukino Yukinoshita, his right hand clenched tight, forming a fist that smashed directly toward her delicate face.

Intentional Bombing Fist!

Yukino Yukinoshita saw Li Yu aiming straight for her face and her expression turned grim.

Was this guy doing it on purpose or was it an accident? If she took a hit like that from Li Yu, wouldn't she end up bruised and battered?

So, Yukino hurriedly controlled her movement to dodge to Li Yu's right, quickly reaching out to grab his fist, intending to throw him aside.

However, she had underestimated Li Yu. Just as she grabbed his arm and before she could act, she felt a sudden shockwave erupt from his arm.

A surge of internal energy burst from Li Yu's hand, shaking her grip loose, which left Yukino startled.

How long had it been? Had Li Yu already mastered such a technique? And was his internal energy not excessively abundant?

While Yukino Yukinoshita was thinking this, Li Yu had already adjusted his position and attacked again.

Li Yu pivoted his body, a whip kick lashing out directly toward Yukino Yukinoshita's head.

Seeing this, Yukino Yukinoshita could only channel her strength to stabilize her stance and raise her arms to block.

A massive force erupted, vibrating through Yukino Yukinoshita's arms until they went numb.

After this exchange, Li Yu quickly created some distance and looked at Yukino Yukinoshita. "Are you okay?"

Listening to Li Yu and feeling the pain in her arms, Yukino Yukinoshita gritted her teeth and said, "I'm fine, let's continue!"

Looking at her unyielding spirit, Li Yu understood—this girl really didn't want to lose.

Since that was the case, Li Yu decided to ramp up the intensity. With that thought, he launched another attack.

He began to display all the martial arts he had learned today, which for a time left Yukino Yukinoshita struggling to cope; she had become the target of a one-sided beating.

However, her progress was quite rapid. While dealing with Li Yu's attacks, she also began to condense her own internal energy.

Perhaps it was the constant pressure from Li Yu that allowed her to condense her internal energy much faster.

Amidst Li Yu's relentless attacks, Yukino Yukinoshita finally managed to condense her internal energy.

She was the second person in the class to achieve this; none of the other students had reached this stage yet.

Shizuka Hiratsuka had been watching, and the moment Yukino Yukinoshita condensed her internal energy, she immediately turned her gaze toward her.

Seeing that Yukino Yukinoshita had only managed to condense her internal energy under Li Yu's pressure, she couldn't help but be amused.

She had known Yukino for a long time in this world, having previously been her homeroom teacher.

She understood this child very well; from a young age, her academic performance had always been exceptionally brilliant.

Furthermore, she had awakened a rather impressive talent, which was why Yukino Yukinoshita's personality was actually quite proud.

She just hadn't expected that upon arriving at a new school and a new class, she would start hitting walls. Perhaps, that was a good thing after all.

Thinking of this, Shizuka Hiratsuka said nothing and allowed Li Yu to continue beating Yukino Yukinoshita.

It would be best if he beat her until she was black and blue; that way, her arrogance might finally be worn down.

She hoped Yukino Yukinoshita would realize that there is always someone better and a mountain beyond a mountain; having such a prideful personality was hardly a good thing.

Yukino Yukinoshita had no idea what Shizuka Hiratsuka was thinking, but feeling her own breakthrough, she was filled with pleasant surprise.

She then decisively launched a counterattack against Li Yu, utilizing her innate talent for body control to coat her fists in her internal True Qi and began trading blows with him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound of their battle changed, and with every collision, a rhythmic "bang" could be heard.

This was the sound of True Qi clashing, and the commotion drew the attention of the surrounding students who were also sparring.

Seeing that Yukino Yukinoshita had condensed her True Qi, everyone was struck with shock—wasn't this speed a bit too fast?
