章節 46: -46- What could you do?
"————"
Kushida Kikyou lowered her head.
Her bangs covered her eyes, making it impossible for Nanaya Hori to see what kind of expression she was displaying.
However, an even colder atmosphere seemed to surround Kushida Kikyou.
When she lifted her head, her eyes were not just cold anymore; they were like deep, gaping voids, presenting a chilling emptiness.
Kushida Kikyou spoke up.
"Whatever you just witnessed, or whatever you just mentioned, keep it all to yourself."
Kushida Kikyou's voice was lower than ever before, filled with oppression.
"Otherwise, you will regret it."
There was no doubt, this was a threat.
A very explicit threat.
"Since you're so clever, you should know that I'm not just making idle threats, right?"
Kushida Kikyou stared at Nanaya Hori, her expression now even more terrifying, almost poisonous.
"I have the ability to make all of it happen."
This was the weapon Kushida Kikyou could use.
As she said, she indeed had the ability to make it all happen.
Leaving aside everything else, just with Kushida Kikyou's popularity, she could spread rumors that would be extremely detrimental to Nanaya Hori.
As long as Kushida Kikyou said something like, "This person has always wanted to do something to me," countless naive students in the school would stand up for the universally beloved angel.
For example, Ike Kanji.
For example, Yamauchi Haruki.
At that time, Nanaya Hori would be almost against the entire student body.
And even if Nanaya Hori wanted to say that it was a slander by Kushida Kikyou, no one would believe him, right?
After all, why was Nanaya Hori so reclusive and unfamiliar with everyone for the past month?
One side was a reclusive figure unfamiliar to everyone.
The other was a gentle angel loved by all.
Whose words would everyone believe? It was clear without saying.
Just as Kushida Kikyou wanted to use Nanaya Hori to crush Horikita Suzune, she could also use others to crush Nanaya Hori.
So, the effectiveness of this weapon was extremely powerful.
However...
"Do you think you can make me compromise like this?"
Nanaya Hori laughed as if finding it ridiculous.
This made Kushida Kikyou's expression even more frightening.
"Do you think I can't do it?" Kushida Kikyou's tone now carried a hint of anger.
But Nanaya Hori still wanted to say this.
"Of course, you can't." Nanaya Hori said firmly, "Because you haven't figured out the situation yet."
"I haven't figured out the situation?" Kushida Kikyou was stunned.
In such a situation, Nanaya Hori said this very naturally.
"Luring Horikita into your trap is already difficult enough for you. Do you think I'm easier to deal with than her?"
Such a question made Kushida Kikyou hold her breath on the spot.
This was a direct question to the extreme.
Nanaya Hori, as always, didn't act according to logic and theory.
But strangely enough, what Nanaya Hori said was overly convincing.
If it was before, it would have been one thing.
But now, Kushida Kikyou didn't think Nanaya Hori was easier to deal with than Horikita Suzune.
Therefore, in the absence of any sign of even dealing with Horikita Suzune, Kushida Kikyou really didn't have the confidence to deal with Nanaya Hori.
Even from a realistic perspective, in this school, Kushida Kikyou had the advantage over Nanaya Hori. From Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's analysis, it would be unfavorable for Nanaya Hori to confront Kushida Kikyou.
However, if he acted based on reality and theory, then he wouldn't be Nanaya Hori.
Nanaya Hori himself was the type to use unconventional methods as weapons.
He could judge the importance of the entrance exam to this school based solely on intuition, and he could expose Kushida Kikyou's secret with just one look. These were things that others couldn't do.
It's because of this that Nanaya Hori said Kushida Kikyou hadn't figured out the situation yet.
"Visible things always have a way to deal with them, only the invisible things are truly lethal," Nanaya Hori said indifferently.
"You want to use visible 'weapons' against me, then are you prepared to be counterattacked by my invisible 'weapons'?" he added.
This statement made Kushida Kikyou feel somewhat eerie.
Moreover, Kushida Kikyou overlooked one thing.
"No matter what happens later, here and now, I am the one who truly holds the absolute advantage," Nanaya Hori looked at Kushida Kikyou with a sardonic smile and reminded her.
"If I wanted to do something to you right now, what could you do?" he asked.
This woke her up.
Yes.
This was another situation that Kushida Kikyou hadn't figured out.
Right now, here, Nanaya Hori was the one truly in the dominant position.
Kushida Kikyou deliberately chose a time and place where no one would be present to discover her actions.
And here, if Nanaya Hori really wanted to do something to Kushida Kikyou, she wouldn't stand a chance against him.
"Unless you can physically subdue someone who resorts to violence against you, like Horikita," Nanaya Hori said with amusement. "Tell me, do you have that ability?"
As he said this, Nanaya Hori tightened his grip on Kushida Kikyou's wrist, causing her to cry out in pain.
"Ah..."
Kushida Kikyou exclaimed in pain.
"Ouch...! Let go...!"
In pain, Kushida Kikyou began to struggle.
Unfortunately, with Kushida Kikyou's strength, she couldn't break free from Nanaya Hori's restraint.
And Kushida Kikyou didn't have any martial arts experience like Horikita Suzune.
"This way, you'll understand that you don't have the ability to threaten me," Nanaya Hori said, looking at Kushida Kikyou's pained expression, his interest suddenly waning.
"Take your clandestine thoughts and use them against someone else," he continued, releasing her hand, causing Kushida Kikyou to quickly distance herself from him.
Kushida Kikyou could only clutch her wrist, glaring angrily at Nanaya Hori, her expression fluctuating.
After a while, Kushida Kikyou seemed to give up, but she was clearly unwilling as she spoke up.
"What exactly do you want?"
Clearly, Kushida Kikyou was compromising.
To conceal her own secret, Kushida Kikyou was prepared to compromise with Nanaya Hori.
But Kushida Kikyou had also misjudged one thing.
"I'm not that interested in you. Now that my doubts about you have been resolved, there's no reason to continue paying attention to you," Nanaya Hori glanced at Kushida Kikyou and said.
"As long as you don't direct your clandestine thoughts towards me again, I won't bother with you."
With these words, Nanaya Hori turned and left without a second thought.
Leaving Kushida Kikyou alone, staring at his departing figure, she bit her lip fiercely.
"This is just terrible!"
Kushida Kikyou could only kick the rooftop door angrily.
Once she left here, Kushida Kikyou would surely return to being that gentle and kind little angel.
Therefore, for now, let this little girl vent her frustrations.
