Attack Without Defense

At this moment.

Some spectators who had no idea what was going on got sunflower seeds from their companions and watched the show while cracking them.

Quite a few people thought Uchiha was just a clown seeking attention. They had never seen someone so shameless!

Having strength made you genuinely badass. Pretending when you had none—that was Jiahao, wasn't it?

Uchiha remained expressionless.

"Making me leave, I'm afraid..."

"You can't do it."

He was telling the truth.

"...Enough!!"

Katsuragi was young and hot-blooded, utterly unable to suppress his anger.

"If you don't leave, I'll have to make you leave!"

"And all of you watching the show, this isn't a place you should be!!"

His physical talent was not outstanding. If he wanted to win a fight, he had to rely on weapons.

As he spoke, he opened his backpack and took out a recurve bow and a quiver filled with several blunt-tipped wooden arrows.

Katsuragi swiftly slung the quiver over his back, drew the bow with his left hand, steadied an arrow with his right, and aimed at Uchiha.

He was holding three arrows at once, in an extremely flashy pose!!

Was he... preparing to fire three arrows in a row?!!!

"Vice President Nagumo, could I ask you to be a witness?!"

"This is merely a friendly spar between him and me, not a mutual brawl."

Nagumo Miyabi pondered for a moment, then called the security office and had the surveillance staff temporarily turn off the cameras around the administration building.

Without video evidence, wouldn't it all be up to him?

He nodded.

"Mm, I agree."

Ichinose was just about to speak.

But Uchiha had already looked at Katsuragi.

"I told you, with that bow and those arrows in your hands, you don't have the skill."

"If you dare shoot, I'll catch them between two fingers."

"When that happens... you'll be the one leaving."

He had been specially invited in the first place.

This bald guy was demanding evidence from him for no reason at all.

Trying to trap me into proving myself?!

What a pointless pain in the ass.

He might as well eat two more bowls of beef.

"..."

Whoa!!!

The students watching nearly burst out laughing.

Catch them?

The arrows were that fast?!!

Could he really catch them?!!

They had heard of catching a blade barehanded, but never of catching arrows with two fingers!!!

Besides, Katsuragi was a natural archer with experience hunting deep in the mountains.

Before this, he had shot a rabbit in the eye with a single arrow from hundreds of meters away at night. His record was there for all to see!!!

A rabbit could move quickly, and it had been on steep terrain, where dodging should have been entirely possible.

Yet even in such darkness and complicated terrain, he had still hit every shot. His archery was terrifyingly good!!

The burly bald man also smiled.

"Fine, I won't bully you. The weapons room is right there. Go ahead, pick any weapon you want."

Uchiha shook his head.

"Sorry, I don't need a weapon to deal with you."

In fact, even if he took a weapon, he would not know how to use it. There was no need, either.

Compared to cold, rigid tools, he trusted his fists more.

"..."

Everyone was stunned.

"Ooooooh!!"

"Letting you fight with one hand behind your back—that's an insult, a complete and utter insult!!"

"Go, Katsuragi! Shoot him right up the ass!!!"

"Keep hopping around, Jiahao! Maybe you'll get lucky and dodge a few arrows, hahahaha~"

Katsuragi frowned at the sight.

"You're going barehanded? Are you sure?"

Uchiha nodded.

"Enough."

[Gallantry +340]

[Gallantry +45]

[Gallantry +281]

[...]

Nagumo Miyabi watched from the side.

A thought surfaced in his mind.

What kind of wild school was this guy from?

The other side had ranged attacks. Shouldn't he at least grab a shield he could use to block them?

In the student council room.

Tachibana Akane pulled open the blinds and turned to ask the man seated at the head of the room:

"President, Uchiha and the others are about to fight. Should we step in and stop them?"

Horikita Manabu's eyes were fixed on the "memorials" in his hands. Without lifting his head, he said:

"You go first."

"I'll be there shortly."

"Yes." Tachibana Akane efficiently pushed open the doors and headed away.

After she left, Horikita Manabu pretended to flip through the documents.

Once he confirmed that she was truly gone, he immediately rushed to the window, his expression difficult to keep under control.

"Uchiha, please don't cause trouble for me!!!"

If I get impeached and have to step down, you won't have it easy either. After all, your backer will be gone!!

"..."

In the hall.

Everyone was speechless.

Katsuragi did not want to bully the weak, so he picked up a broom from the corner and tossed it over.

"Catch. I don't want people saying I won unfairly."

Uchiha instinctively raised his hand.

Then...

Crack!!!

With a light press of both palms, he snapped the broom handle in two!!!

"Sorry, but I believe in one principle—"

"Attack without defense."

"..."

The spectators stood frozen like wooden chickens.

"Big brother, you're so badass you got me!!!"

"Aren't you afraid of being shot full of holes?!!"

"With a stick, you could at least twirl it around like some black monkey. Even if everyone knew you couldn't win, at least you'd look cool. But this...?!!"

Kushida sneered. "Digging his own grave."

Sakayanagi set her phone to burst mode, preparing to collect Jiahao's embarrassing moments.

Taking pictures was free. Deleting one cost five hundred.

When you had dirt in my hands, that meant—

You would become my first slave since enrolling.

At that moment.

Tachibana Akane came running over while covering her face. This was too embarrassing!!

This was the talent they had specially recruited?!!

Speechlessly, she grabbed Uchiha by the ear and warned him as a senior.

"Please, your position is secretary. You're a clerk, a cool-headed coordinator!!!

"Normally, all you need to do is take meeting minutes and organize documents."

"What is this obsession with abusing violence when you're a clerk?!! You need to change!!"

Uchiha said, "When reason from the Analects doesn't work, I have no choice but to swing my fists."

"..."

Katsuragi stopped wasting words.

Uchiha's relaxed attitude had thoroughly enraged him!!

He had to teach this arrogant guy a lesson.

Attack without defense, was it?!

Then he would shoot straight through him!!

The bald man planted his feet one before the other and swiftly assumed an archery stance.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

The three wooden arrows in his hand shot toward Uchiha like galloping steeds.

The three arrows targeted the masked boy's shoulder, abdomen, and thigh respectively.

He had not used his full strength.

He was afraid this pretentious brat would try to extort him afterward!!

Suddenly, the feeling in his hand turned awkward and clumsy!!!

Damn, he had made a mistake!!

His fury had clouded his mind just now, and one arrow had gone off target!!

That arrow flew straight toward Secretary Tachibana Akane, who was standing close to Uchiha!!

In the blink of an eye!!

Katsuragi panicked and shouted:

"Senior!! Your shoulder!! Get out of the way!!"

"Hm?"

"Killing intent?!"

Uchiha shuddered from head to toe. You thick-browed, big-eyed bald bastard, you actually tried to ambush me?!!

Too bad.

I predicted your prediction.

And besides.

Attack without defense was just a smokescreen.

Because he was afraid of pain.

Uchiha silently said in his heart:

"System, activate Invincible Golden Body."

The next second.

Uchiha opened his mouth and proactively met the sharp arrows.

Big dog munch munch munch!!!!

Clang, clang!!

He bit apart the two sharp arrows aimed at himself in a single bite.

Of course, he would not stand by and let a beauty get hurt.

His head snapped around as he lunged fiercely toward the purple-haired girl's shoulder.

At that moment.

He could clearly see Tachibana Akane's terrified expression and her pale cheeks as she involuntarily closed her eyes.

Don't be afraid. Big brother's here to save you.

I'll bite it!!!!

The next second.

The wooden arrow was bitten through.

Along with it, he had bitten through...

The school uniform at Tachibana Akane's shoulder, and...

A pink camisole!!!!!!!

"???"

Uchiha froze completely.

He had misjudged his strength and accidentally bitten through his senior's clothes...

Watching his senior cover her snow-white arm, Uchiha looked calm on the surface.

In reality, he was swallowing frantically.

Is my nose about to bleed?! Can she tell?!

What do I do?!!!

She...

She seemed angry?!

The masked boy instinctively took off his own jacket and quickly draped it over his flushed senior.

"..."

He gave an awkward yet polite smile.

What an upside-down turn of fate!!!

The heavens had been turned on their head!!!

What if she didn't hold it against me?!!

Uchiha's low, sexy bubble voice rang out:

"Say thank you."

"It was my duty."

"..."

"????"
