Chapter 52: Come with me!
Listening to the commotion around her, Yayoi pieced everything together and soon had an idea of what was happening.
It seemed that because of her massive body size, everyone would rather believe it was her rather than the ordinary and unremarkable Lin Jiangfeng who was responsible for Linbao's beating.
But regardless, Yayoi doesn't mind since it wasn't too far from the truth. If it were not because of her being too injured back then, she would have thrashed Linbao either way.
Looking around, Yayoi tried to find Lin Jiangfeng. But as she had expected, he was nowhere in sight.
'...Could it be?'
Her eyes glinted, feeling amused by the situation as she thought to herself.
'This plot... should these thugs beat me up, only then would the protagonist appear to avenge me, his fatty friend, while dazzling the entire school with a single feat? Whoa...'
...
On the other side, Scar Face also noticed Yayoi. She has caught his attention the moment she showed up.
Shortly after he whispered to a few of his subordinates, Scar Face slowly stood up and walked to the front of them all. There is a long scar running diagonally across his face, and he gives off an intimidating and fierce vibe.
With a metal rod placed over his shoulder, Scar Face proudly faced the sky and only glanced down at Yayoi by the corner of his eyes and domineering asked, "Fatty! Were you the one who beat our young master Linbao?"
"...Not quite accurate, but yeah, you can say that I'm partly responsible." Yayoi replied and shot back with a question, "Don't you already know?"
These thugs' intention was apparent by how they gathered here in front of the school gate and attracted everyone's attention like now.
Yayoi had already expected this from the moment she knew of Linbao's background. Hence, she didn't even bother to deny the question and defended herself.
It would be of no use.
After hearing what she said, Scar Face immediately shoots his subordinates a glance and gestures with his hand. "You heard that, boys? Go and get his ass!"
Out of everyone, the handsome thug was the first to step up. He pounded his chest with a clenched fist, producing a loud *thud!* and declared, "Brother Scar Face, leave it to me!"
And almost simultaneously, the others also followed closely behind him.
Although Yayoi was practically about two times taller than them, she was still a high school kid after all. What can an unarmed high school kid do? Surely, the outcome of this fight was already a foregone conclusion, or so they assumed.
The thugs excitedly rushed forward, gradually picking up pace as they charged at Yayoi with weapons raised, ready to strike.
"Hahaha, Fatty! You only have yourself to blame because of what you did to the young master. But it's too late to regret!" The handsome thug deliberately raised his voice and shouted, "Remember, us, the Black Dog Gang is not something a nobody like you can afford to offend! Go to hell!"
The Black Dog Gang respected strength and boldness.
Being the first person to charge and land the first blow could be considered small merit.
The handsome thug was eager and excited.
As for the bystanders, they looked on with interest, seemingly enjoying the show. A group of thirty odds thugs ganging up on a fat giant, who wouldn't be interested? They don't get to see something like this every day.
"Gaaaaa!!"
The handsome thug jumped, bellowing a loud cry, impressively pivoting mid-air with a complete 360° rotations before his metal bat directly crashed to the side of Yayoi's head, her neck.
Yet, contrary to his and everyone else's expectation, what happened next left them all astonished. There was no sound of metal beating flesh. Instead, the bat in his hand trembled. There was a *Clang!*, and he felt as if he was hitting a metal wall.
It hurt!
The rebound makes the handsome thug's hands feel numb.
'Was that sound supposed to come from a human's flesh?'
The handsome thug was left wondering.
But— it didn't last long.
At that moment, Yayoi looked down at the puny thug with cold eyes.
That attack just now could barely even give her a scratch. Her hand moved and directly grasped the handsome thug's throat. While doing so, she disarmed him of his metal bat and gave it a full swing; as if becoming a javelin, the metal bat flew toward Scar Face and hit his shoulder.
'Argh shit, what the f*ck!'
Scar Face cursed in his heart.
As the metal bat plunged into his shoulder, he could hear a clear, crispy sound of something breaking.
Scar Face broke out in cold sweat.
In front of everyone, he unhurriedly held his shoulder with a straight face as it started shaking violently. Even as a level 3 Martial Apprentice, that sudden attack left him unable to react. He was shocked.
With his subordinates and hundreds of people around them watching, he didn't have the face to let out even the tiniest groan.
*Bash!*
*Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!*
Yayoi swung her fist away, effortlessly forcing back the other incoming thugs. She looked at Scar Face and stated: "You want to look for Lin Jiangfeng, right? Let's go, follow me. I will take you to him."
After saying that, she held on to the handsome thug by his neck and walked away.
The onlookers make way, and no one dared to stop her.
As for Scar Face, his expression was peculiar. It looked as if he was laughing and crying at the same time.
"...Ha, fatty...you, you a funny guy."
Saying so, Scar Face and his subordinates followed after her.
