Taking advantage of their shock, I stepped forward and walked past the guy I just knocked down. In less than a few steps, I arrived in front of Uchiyama.
I put on a slight smile as I reached for his shoulder and asked, “Say, senpai. I’m not a violent person. I only reacted accordingly. Who do you think started it? Who is at fault here?”
Although I still sounded a little polite there, the content of my words was enough for the guy to flinch in utter surprise. His eyes focused on me and then went down to his shoulder.
At this point, the others had already started recovering from that shock. I could hear footsteps as the two who escorted me here charged out and tried to flank me.
I looked at Uchiyama and tilted my head, indicating I was waiting for his answer.
His eyes shook as though panic had started to set in. But because of their advantage in numbers, the initial shock and fear they experienced were dispelled.
