Chapter 12

"Hey? Where is everyone?"

"I clearly saw someone here."

The teacher ran from a distance, blinking his eyes, and the figures of the seven students disappeared.

Looking around, there was still no sign of anyone.

Scratching his head,

"Did I see it wrong? Could it be that I had too much alcohol last night and had a hallucination?"

Seeing the teacher puzzled, he could only return the same way. Iori and Motoharu, hiding in the bushes, finally breathed a sigh of relief. They sat directly on the ground, completely awake.

Just now, Baki and Rei, one lifted Iori and Motoharu, and the other dragged the red and yellow duo from the ground, kicking the last person of the trio in an instant, and then hiding behind the bushes. In the blink of an eye, they completed this action.

"Whew~ That was really dangerous." Baki exhaled and said to Rei.

The two were half-disabled from the fight. If the school found out, it would definitely have a negative impact, and expulsion would be the minimum punishment.

Baki had just returned to school and naturally didn't want to be affected by Rei's situation. Getting expelled on the first day of school would surely be a subject of mockery.

"Baki, can you help me with this?" Rei pointed to the red and yellow figures lying on the ground.

Baki pondered over Rei in his mind. Were they this familiar with each other? However, "Seeing your skills, I feel a bit itchy. If you can have a match with me, I might be able to introduce you to someone who can help you with this matter."

"A match, huh? For people like you, isn't the term 'fight' more appropriate?" Rei didn't pay much attention, nor did he hide the fact that he knew Baki's identity.

"Spare me, I just fought those monsters not long ago." Baki said, on the grand stage, he had more than half of his ribs directly broken, and his arms were shattered. Although he was competitive, he didn't want to experience such serious injuries again in the short term.

He's competitive, not crazy.

"Well... let's start now. No rules, no arena, just like this." Rei swung his hands, and two hand chops directly struck the necks of Iori and Motoharu, who were gradually waking up, causing them to immediately pass out.

Baki was still amazed at Rei's decisiveness,

The next second,

Within that half meter between them, a fist the size of a sandbag went straight for Baki face.

Before losing consciousness, Baki had only one thought: 'This guy has no martial ethics!'

This punch exerted twenty-nine percent of force.

[Street Fighting] Proficiency: 50%

Cough, it seems I overestimated a bit,

[Skill: [Street Fighting] reached level 1]

[Strength: 29->30]

[Agility: 26->27]

[Endurance: 35->36]

An increase of fifty percent proficiency at once, it's the first time I've seen something like this.

"No wonder, Baki."

The improvement from street fighting is comprehensive, after all, to win a fight, you need strength, speed, and endurance. Moreover, in that punch just now, Rei's talent, God's Hand, also came into play.

[God's Hand: With your superb gaming skills, the probability of performing difficult-to-replicate godly maneuvers greatly increases]

In gaming terms, this is a true critical hit.

Of course, the main reason was that Baki didn't take enough precautions against Rei. This guy hadn't even mastered basic self-defense techniques yet, let alone being the unscrupulous warrior he would become in the future.

"Alas, I regret knocking these two guys out. I thought it would be a tough fight." Looking at the group of bodies lying on the ground, Rei helped up Iori and Motoharu, carrying Baki on his back.

Before leaving, he casually delivered a kick to the last member of the delinquent trio who was still conscious.

After laying the three guys on the medical bed in the infirmary, Rei quickly headed to the classroom.

Three o'clock in the afternoon,

The final bell of High School rang.

Those with clubs went to their club activities, and those without went home.

"Senpai! Senpai! Senpai!"

Rei didn't even need to look, he knew it was Hana.

Unable to cope with her, the girl's head directly bumped against Rei's waist, energetically greeting him.

Turning his head, he saw Hana's beaming smile.

Rei originally wanted to scold her a bit but decided to give up. Does this girl know how adorable she is?

"Goodbye, Senpai, I'm going home!" Hana came and went in a hurry, and before Rei could say a word, she had already said her farewells and chased after the bus.

"Rei-kun."

Riko stood at the school gate, both hands holding her backpack, waiting for Rei to appear.

"Aida-san." Rei walked over.

"The last class ends so late, truly the work of a class-dragging demon." Riko spoke.

Rei nodded, thoroughly disliking it.

"Aida-san, aren't you going to lead the basketball team for training?" Rei asked somewhat strangely.

Upon hearing this question, Riko immediately put on an expression that seemed to say, 'How dare you mention it?' She supported her forehead and said, "Who told you to make our basketball ace cry at noon today? Kagami is still in a slump, and seeing your performance, the others also lost their training enthusiasm. It's better to take a day off today and rest well to recover mentally."

"Cough, it's not really my fault."

Riko naturally understood as well. Moreover, with Kagami's current state, taking a hit like this might actually be a good thing. Maybe it will lead to an evolution.

"In any case, does Rei-kun want to go to the gym now?"

Upon hearing this question, Rei became excited.

"Of course."

Silver Man Gym.

"My father owns this gym. Originally, it was called Aida Gym. You might have heard of it. Later, because of a joint venture, it was renamed Silver Man Gym."

"To say this personally makes me a bit embarrassed, but my father used to be a national-level basketball player. So, in terms of professional training planning, you can rest assured."

As for training planning and such, Rei didn't really care. With the proficiency system, as long as he finds the right direction, he just needs to grind.

The front desk obviously knew Riko. Seeing her lead someone into the gym, they didn't ask much.

"In addition to gym equipment, the swimming pool is on the far left on the first floor. The place for showering after exercise is also in that direction. Everything is clearly marked, so don't worry about not finding it. On the second floor, there's a comprehensive combat arena and other facilities like sandbags. Famous people often come over to train there." Riko introduced with great detail.

A pair of eyes full of killing intent,

Locked onto Rei in the corner of the gym.

How dare this guy! How dare he!

He actually dared to get so close to my family's jewel!

Some unnamed father clenched his fists in the corner of the gym.
