Chapter 6: The Man Known As Tsukishiro pt 2

I never thought I'd hear you say that in a place like this.

But under Kiryuuin's strange pressure, I had no choice but to strike a pose that looked like it. It's like something you would see in a fight scene in a drama.

"How about?"

"Huh, you're that clumsy. Oh well, let's say you've met the minimum standard. " Smiling, Kiryuuin also struck a fighting pose once more.

"Have you ever hit someone?"

"I am a lady. What do you think? "

"... Are you serious?"

"Don't worry, I was thinking that I would like to hit you in the face at least once ..." We keep a distance from each other and move into a clearing one against one.

"Let's solve this, Acting Director."

"So you have decided that I am the only one who can beat you? "

With his usual smile on his face Tsukishiro prepares himself, showing no concern.

"Then let's see. I want to know what you are capable of one against one "

The opponent in front of me I receive it as an equal enemy. If I don't, I'll be the one who gets a surprise. But it will still be decided in less than 1 minute. I'm going to get it before Kiryuuin is held back by Shiba.

Tsukishiro came charging towards me. I dodged Tsukishiro's attack without warning and hit Tsukishiro's cheek with my left fist.

- "!!!?"

I jabbed lightly and with speed, hitting hard. The power of each shot is slight because I concentrated only on hitting.

However, upon hitting him repeatedly, Tsukishiro's smile faded.

The target was the nasal pole. A certain effect is activated in the human body if even slight damage is received. That is "tears".

All human beings induce tears when they hit us on the nose. Tears welled up at the pain, taking away important visibility. It doesn't matter if you are an adult or a child, young or old. It is a mechanism of the human body.

As Tsukishiro's vision faded, I swiftly swing an uppercut to his chin.

Staring at the sky Tsukishiro, he probably bit his mouth and a little blood spurted out.

"I wonder how much time has passed "

Wiping the blood dripping from his lips, Tsukishiro smiled wryly.

"I admit it, considering that you are a second year high school boy in front of me. You are an undeniable masterpiece. "

Of all the rivals I have fought with, Tsukishiro is without a doubt one of the best. It was enough for Tsukishiro to decide that he could fight one-on-one and win.

"I don't like being hard on people, but I'm having a lot of fun."

Laughing in amusement, Tsukishiro prepares himself again. But he didn't come right away, and he backs slowly.

It could be seen as a way of buying time until Shiba defeats Kiryuuin.

I calmly try to follow the path of victory, without rushing too much.

Tsukishiro looks at the sand at his feet. For just a moment.

I reached out and put all my strength into my right fist - "It's absolutely magnificent ──!"

I hit on Tsukishiro's body who received it as if squirming.

I hit it with most of my ability. But even so, Tsukishiro's smile didn't go away. While losing his posture, Tsukishiro grabs a handful of sand from the ground with his left hand and throws it at me.

Then, with his free hand that plunges further into the hole in the sand, he stands

up. Even if the right fist that swings up like an uppercut hits me straight, it wouldn't do much damage if you don't have good posture. But, I didn't receive his right hand from

the front, and I pulled Tsukishiro's arm away and I immediately grabbed his right arm so he wouldn't move.

"!!"

I looked at Tsukishiro's right arm, which is holding a Stun Gun (Taser)

"How did you know?"

'' I didn't know until just before. However, in a situation where you can't even let a single moment of time go by, you dropped your gaze once as if to check your feet for some reason. I was uncomfortable with that. If your goal was to remove my vision with sand, you don't need to bother checking your feet. "

Even when his left hand grabbed the sand and threw it at me, my consciousness was beyond that.

"It also seemed a little natural to me that you deliberately put yourself as if you were going to receive a blow from me"

We both needed to change the course of the fight, as we were very even.

"If it was possible, I didn't want to take this risk, it was an insurance policy, but your skill was enough to make me impatient".

I loosened his right hand and the stun gun slammed into the sand and stabbed. "So what do we do now? You have caused me profound damage, but ... "

At this point, Acting Director Tsukishiro raises his hand and sends a signal somewhere. Then the pilot of the small anchored boat started trying to land with something in hand, clearly the last trump card in case they are defeated. But it is the same in this case.

"I'm afraid your time is up, Acting Director Tsukishiro."

Suddenly, the pilot stopped preparing to land, and the little boat revved its engines and took off quickly, leaving the acting director behind.

The reason may be that he saw another small boat coming from the sea.

"... I'm surprised. What did you call the boat? I have been preparing the ground naturally. So you wouldn't ask the school for help if you needed it. And I knew you wouldn't want the school to know either. "

"It is a simple matter. You just have to take a good look at the smaller boats to realize it."

If you look closely at the end of the small boat, you could see Mashima-sensei and Chabashira-sensei. And that's how Tsukishiro found out.

"What would happen if someone reports that a student from class A and class D in the 2nd year has collapsed in I2 and they are in danger? It is not something that can be hidden very easily. I have already confirmed that a classroom teacher was included in the selection of people who came to help the victim in an incident that occurred some time ago".

This was simply a rule that the school had decided that class teachers were the best at identifying them at a glance.

When you find out that it is the 2nd A class and the 2nd D class, you have no choice but to bring your class teacher, even if you don't want to.

If it is an emergency, there is no time to check the GPS one by one. If it contains information that the watch appears to be broken, they will definitely check it, even if there is no response from the GPS.

"If they had checked all the students by GPS, would the rescue have arrived and changed the situation? Now, from the map, you can see that a student from class A and another from class D from the second year have lost the GPS response of their watches. I think it was more of a question of trust. "

"You were going to buy time from the beginning and let this unfold. That's why you focused on escaping in the beginning, knowing the downside. "

"It was a mistake to threaten Ichinose halfway. If you were going to do this you should have handled it thoroughly."

As a result, Tsukishiro gave me the opportunity to ask Sakayanagi for help before coming here.

"Even so, my position is still that of a priest, you know? I can't do such a disturbing thing."

I'm not sure if that's true or a lie, but Tsukishiro laughed when he said it.

Shiba immediately withdrew his hand from Kiryuuin as he saw that Tsukishiro had already resigned.

"Fuf... You were saved Ayanokouji-kun. Strangely, I couldn't take it anymore. "

Then he knelt to rest his body

I was watching the fight between Shiba and her, although it was out of the corner of my eye and she could hold out well, even if she only defended herself.

It's great that he recognized the obvious superiority of the team and tried to entertain her without putting too much pressure on her.

If even Shiba had participated in the battle alongside the flawless Tsukishiro, he wouldn't know how it would have turned out. In the end, the boat landed and Mashima- sensei and Chabashirasensei got off.

The walkie-talkie that Sakayanagi lent me was useful to the end. "I won, so I wonder if you will accept it"

"I guess I can't help but admit it for the moment."

As things stand, there shouldn't be enough cards in hand to deliver Tsukishiro from here.

Even the fact that he changed the designated area just for me is sure to come to light if investigated.

"Your score is quite complicated, but I think you're fine. As for me, now that you're out in the open, I can't help but protest if you're in the bottom five.

"Don't worry. I think I can see that I'm at the safe limit"

"It was an unnecessary worry. Well then, I'll leave it like that for now."

"For the moment. I hope I don't have to do more of these power tricks using unnecessary violence. At least I don't think it goes against the philosophy of this school. Of course, if it is a test of strength according to the regulations, it is a welcome thing. "

With a smile on his face, Acting Director Tsukishiro looks at Mashima-sensei and Chabashira getting out of the boat.

"Let me ask you one last thing, Acting Director Tsukishiro. Did you really try to expel me? It is true that there were strong restrictions, but if I were in your place instead, I would have prepared a more reliable method and carried it out."

I don't think the man in front of me is foolish enough not to think about it.

"You are overestimating me. I did everything in my power to get you out of school according to the instructions of my superiors. But it turned out that I could not do it, and I fell before you like that."

One thing I found out is that the man named Tsukishiro hasn't shown everything he has yet. I don't know if there was any lie or falsehood in what you just said, but I'll have to assume that it had other goals.

"May I ask you to give a message to Amasawa-san" "I hear you".

"Amasawa Ichika, you are disqualified for disobeying your orders. There will be no more places to return to. You can stay or leave this school as you see fit. "

Is it true? Or will it be false? I can't see that from Tsukishiro.

Even after admitting defeat, that doesn't smell like he wavered at all.

If Amasawa really did leave the White Room, I don't think it's the end of the story. One thing is for sure.

I just don't think this is the end of the whole White Room thing.

There is still something. And, it makes me think.

"Let's see how you fight to the end."

When he slowly gets up, Tsukishiro raises both hands as if he has an idea and walks over to Mashima-sensei and the others.

''Nothing has occurred here. Ayanokouji-kun and I just had a chat. "

"You think that's enough."

"There is nothing to do, it is already decided. The teachers cannot do anything about it. In fact, you should be grateful that I do not resist."

I looked at Mashima-sensei and nodded and said it was okay.

"Then let's go. The students haven't finished their special exams yet."

After confirming that the adults are heading to the ship, I look towards Kiryuuin. Perhaps she was exhausted from dealing with Shiba, she sat on the beach and got on her knees looking out to sea.

"Well done, Ayanokouji."

"No, Kiryuuin-senpai you were also amazing against Shiba-sensei."

"I can't even take that as a compliment after seeing you in action. Don't worry; I'm not going to tell anyone about you. But I'd like to hear what you have to say. "

I didn't expect them to see me, but I'm glad it was Kiryuuin

"I have a somewhat complicated family situation. That's all."

"A complicated family situation. That doesn't seem like an easy thing to deal with. "

Getting up and lightly brushing the sand off his butt, Kiryuuin starts walking towards the forest. When I left I2 with Kiryyuin and went back to I3, Miyabi Nagumo was no longer there. But instead, I ran into some unexpected students.

As soon as they saw me they looked at me and were surprised.

"It's a rare combination Horikita. Strolling with Ibuki, is it going to rain hail today? "

"...., Are you okay?"

"What do you mean by" good "?"

"Well, no. I thought you might be having a little problem with someone."

This time, Kiryuuin and I looked at each other and denied it at almost the same time.

"Do not? There is no one in the way. " "So what were you doing here?"

"It has been a very exhausting two weeks. I was resting on a secluded beach, looking at the sea. "

"You have a lot of free time. You probably got the minimum score. " Why Kiryuuin-senpai? As she sent a look.

"I found a student who was slacking off and I brought him back. I told him to be diligent to the end. "

With that said, Kiryuuin-senpai tapped my back and started walking. "Then I'll see you on the boat after the exam."

Horikita stands by my side and confirms it again by whispering to me "Are you sure you were okay ...?

"What?".

"The thing is.... I just heard some of that. On a small piece of paper " "Paper?"

"No, it's nothing, don't worry. There are still a lot of things I don't understand, so I'll do some research on my own and then we'll talk. "

I was curious, but I don't know what she was talking about, but I didn't want to prolong the conversation about what happened in I2. I can't tell her about Tsukishiro.

"Why are you and Ibuki here? There is no homework around, right? " Ibuki was going to say something, but Horikita stopped her.

"Ibuki had challenged me to a match and that's why we were checking each other's scores .. Your GPS was in a strange place, so I thought I'd check it out. I'll call it a tie."

"How can that be, clearly I won, right?"

"Error, error."

"Even if it is not a mistake or a mistake, if I beat you with 1 point I will win "

I'm not sure, but through this exam Horikita and Ibuki have become friends ...? And soon after, the test of the uninhabited island comes to an end.
