Chapter 82

Just then a rock came flying out of nowhere and hit the bucket. Tipping it back the other way and spilling its contents on Ishizaki.

He jumped back and leaned forward like he was trying to avoid the water that was already on him.

Syl was sitting down with his legs dangling above the door frame and tossing another rock in his hand.

He didn't say anything.

"S-syl!" Kei cried out hopefully.

Ryuuen scowled. "Is it really you? I thought you were innocent."

"I am." Syl replied simply.

Ryuuen paused for a moment. "Ibuki, you're up."

Ibuki who was holding Kei, started to shift positions to attack.

Syl hopped off the roof and ran at her with impressive speed.

Ryuuen tried to stand in his way but Syl easily dodged and ran past him.

He made it to Ibuki just before she could attack Kei.

He kicked the back of her knees and spun.

When she fell forward Syl met her stomach with the heel of his right foot with a hard roundhouse kick.

Ibuki hunched forward and spit out violently as her body was lifted off the ground.

She flew through the air and landed right next to the door.

Syl looked at the person standing beside her. "You're late."

Ayanokoji nodded. "I came as soon as I got your text, it's a long way away from the dorms."

Syl smiled. "Welp, I got what I wanted out of this."

"What's that?" Ryuuen asked.

Syl smiled. "I wanted to kick the toddler. I've been waiting for this moment since the island test."

"Kukuku. What happened to not hitting women?"

"Nono! That's a toddler! Not a woman! Big difference!"

Ryuuen shook his head. "Bacon shmacon."

Syl gasped. "That's my thing!! You stole my thing! You can't do that! Give it back! Are you going to start wearing pink bunny slippers next?! You monster!"

Syl then noticed that Ayanokoji was currently wearing his slippers. His red bunny slippers. He had to rush out of his room so he never changed.

Syl gasped then he furiously looked over to Albert who was wearing his purple bunny slippers.

Syl laughed maniacally.

He pretended to reach into his bag but actually took something out of his system space.

He threw a green pair at Ryuuen and a black pair at Ishizaki. Then he handed Kei beside him a yellow pair that matched her hair colour.

Syl clapped happily. "Alright! Everyone put them on!"

Everyone ended up going with the flow and putting them on.

Syl smiled, he took off his blazer and put it on the floor for her to sit on and sat down next to Kei on the floor. He took out a bowl of popcorn he made and gave a smaller one to Kei.

"Now, we can finally get started."

Ryuuen looked at him and laughed. "Kukuku. It's four on two. Isn't this too easy?"

Syl nodded. "Way too easy. That's why I'm sitting out."

"Eh?" Kei asked from beside him as she ate some popcorn.

"What?" Ryuuen asked, angrily.

Syl pointed at Ayanokoji. "Ask Kiyopon. You guys are fucked." He threw a large handful of popcorn in his mouth.

Ayanokoji stood still as the wind blew his hair. He loosened his tie and rolled up his sleeves.

Kei gulped from beside Syl.

Syl chuckled. "Like what you see?"

Kei blushed and shook her head. "N-no way."

Syl laughed. "Someone's got a crush~ someone's got a crush~!"

Kei kicked him in the shins. "Shut up!" Then she muttered. "He'll hear you."

Syl grabbed his shin in pain. "I swear I'm not a masochist! Why do girls always do this?"

Ryuuen and Ayanokoji ignored the duo.

"What do you think you're going to do alone?" Ryuuen asked.

"You're mistaken. You didn't orchestrate this situation, Ryuuen. I was the one who made you come here tonight."

Ryuuen paused. "So, what you're saying is… you came alone knowing you would face four of us? Kukukukuku. What kind of psychopath are you? Did you think I'd just let you go because you beg for your life? I don't show mercy to weaklings like that!"

"You're wrong again. I came here because four of you isn't enough to beat me."

"What?"

Ayanokoji took a step forward. "You should have brought more pawns, Ryuuen."

Ishizaki charged at Ayanokoji who simply side stepped and grabbed his body, kneeing him in the chest and tossing him away.

[Sorry.] Albert said as he lunged at Ayanokoji and punched.

[It's alright.] Ayanokoji responded as he blocked and countered his punch before unleashing a flurry of his own punches that Albert couldn't block.

[You were never a threat anyway.] He said emotionlessly.

Albert fell to the floor as his consciousness faded.

Syl had a giddy smile on his face. "That was fucking badass!"

"... and hot…" Kei mumbled.

Syl smiled and nudged her. "No cheating. Nobody likes a cheater, I was even loyal to that bitch of a fake girlfriend Kushida, so you better not do Hirata dirty."

Kei nodded.

Syl then ate another handful of popcorn and started walking over to Albert while still chewing.

Suddenly Ibuki attacked him. "You bastard! That was a sneak attack."

"It's not like it would have mattered either way." Syl responded with a mouthful.

"What?! Why?" Ibuki asked as she kicked.

Syl backhanded her foot before slapping her in the face without even looking in her direction.

"Zhatz whigh" He said as he fished a piece of popcorn out of his gum with his other hand.

Syl ignored Ibuki and continued to Albert.

Suddenly an attack came at him from behind. "HOW DARE YOU!"

Syl didn't even bother responding as he spun and kicked her in the face. She ragdolled mid air and hit the ground already unconscious. "Phew. Much better, peace and quiet."

Then he looked over at Ayanokoji. "My bad Kiyopon~ I didn't mean to kill steal, but she was asking for it."

Ayanokoji didn't bother responding as he punched Ishizaki in the face and dodged Ryuuen's right hook before jabbing him in the gut.

Syl bent over Albert and checked on his injuries making sure he was fine. He even gave him a band aid for his cheek with a little Canadian flag on it.

When he was sure he was fine he walked back over to Kei and started eating more popcorn with her.

"What did I miss?"

"Ayanokoji is beating them relentlessly."

Syl nodded. "Sounds about right."

He turned back in and watched as Ayanokoji completely folded Ishizaki, knocking him out, just like he did to Albert.

Then, it was only the two main players left. Ryuuen and Ayanokoji.
