Vol 1 Chapter 2.3 (2/2)

The ground shook violently, the area rumbled, and sand flew everywhere. Because there was such a huge gap in strength, I was flabbergasted.

Now Kito’s foot was the size of my whole body. If I was stepped on, it would completely KO me.

Cold sweat dripped from my forehead. Looking at the situation, there was no chance of winning.

——Then, I should take this opportunity to run away.

I put the sword back into its sheath and swiftly ran towards the school building. The sand obscured Kito’s line of sight. There were a couple seconds that he couldn’t find me.

“——Hey, wait Yagumo!! Where are you going !?”

“I’m sorry! I really have no chance of winning, so I’m running away!”

“You’re giving up way too quickly!! Don’t run away so openly!!”

“A great man once said that if the situation is too desperate, running away is the only logical way out!”

“That’s Sun Tzu! Under the circ.u.mstances that you have no countermeasures, running away is really a good idea! However, I’m not going to let you get away!!”

Because I a.s.sumed Kito would shout angrily as he ran towards me, I hadn’t thought he would just jump towards me. His body flew like a bullet and landed in the empty parking lot, easily getting ahead of me. Because of the huge impact, the asphalt surface cracked, and black debris flew everywhere.

However, I already knew that he would get to the school building before me. So, I activated , then Ryuji and I each ran in opposite directions.

“——!! What an annoying ability!!”

After Kito hesitated, he grabbed for me with both hands.

However, I immediately canceled and disappeared from his huge palms. In a hair’s breadth, I once again used , and we once again went in opposite directions.

I wouldn’t say anything about crossing swords, but I was super confident in my ability to run away!

I finally arrived at the wide open window that faced the corridor. This way I could successfully escape into the school building. I could finally be at ease——.

Just as I was finally calming down, Kito used his giant right hand to get into the building by breaking the window next to me. Even though I barely managed to avoid his fist, the scattered sharp shards of gla.s.s still pierced my face and hands.

“……Yo, Yagumo. We meet again.”

From the other side of the window, Kito stared at me with his giant eyes..

My heart was seized by fear, all I wanted to do was escape this place as soon as I could. However, my feet wouldn’t move as if they were frozen in fear. Also, the pa.s.sage leading into the school was completely blocked off by his giant arm..

“Did you think running into the school, would force me into returning to my normal size? That’s really unfortunate. Even in my current state, I could still play hide and seek with you.”

“……D-does the disciplinary committee randomly sabotage school buildings?”

“Don’t worry. Even if the whole school was destroyed, we can restore everything by asking any member from beautification committee to fix it.”

“I see. That’s true.”

“Even if it’s me, destroying the school still distresses me. So how about it? Want to obediently come out?”

“……I got it. I surrender——”

“You’re not the type of person to say that.”

Kito sneered and clenched his left hand tightly. It seemed like he still wanted to punch the front of the school one more time.

This is the longest I can keep Kito’s attention on me. After deciding this, I canceled and combined with Ryuji.

Actually, when Ryuichi was buying time, Ryuji had already entered the school building from another entrance.

“Yagumo!! Where did you go!!”

The howling of Kito came from the other side of the building. As if the sound of his roar was chasing me, I quickly ran up the stairs.

As I was running up the stairs, I heard the sound of shattering come from all of the windows in the school building. It seemed like he started from the first floor and didn’t miss a single window. What a scary thought.

“I found you!!”

I heard Kito’s yell, then the window in front of me broke. The brutal punch of the giant was coming towards me.

The front of my body suffered the blow from the huge fist. I was sent flying backwards, down the stairs.

“Hahahahahahaha!! At this time, there’s no one left in the building!!!! It’ll be easy as pie for me to find you, no matter how much you run around!! ”

Kito shouted with a grim smile.

On the other hand, I, who was injured in an instant, laid on the hallway of the third floor. I checked how badly I got hurt.

Being hit by the huge fist, made my face and solar plexus ache endlessly. Not only that, the shards of gla.s.s that flew towards me caused me to become covered in blood.When I fell downstairs, I severely injured my back and waist. Of course, being hit by rocks on both arms didn’t help either. If I was in an RPG right now, my HP would be in the single digits. I have long pa.s.sed the yellow bar. I would already be in the red bar now.

——But, I definitely won’t give up!!

I activated lying down. After, I appeared within a three meter range, which was in the hallway of the fourth floor. I then deactivated my ability, and created another self in the three meter range once again.

Although I nearly died, I finally succeeded in reaching the roof. …… Then again, it would have been better if I did this from the start…….

Although the numerous wounds crippled my body, I still desperately stood up even though I could barely walk.

I dragged my leg to the edge of the roof. The fireworks used for signaling the start of the match was carelessly put there. It seemed like I could use it to attack.

“Hahaha, you’re finally willing to come out of the school.”

Just as I reached the edge of the roof, Kito met my eyes. His forehead was around the size of the roof. Only after standing at such a high place did I personally feel how ma.s.sive my uppercla.s.sman had grown.

“So, what do you want to do? If you jump from there, you might be able to hit my head with your sword?”

It might have been because he hit the front of my body that made him seem very happy, or it might be from seeing my crippled body, which made him already convinced of his victory.

“……You’re right. As a last prank, to risk my life just to hit you doesn’t sound like a bad idea.”

As I said that, I canceled , which made the Ryuji in the hallway of the fourth floor disappear.

——This was my last chance. If this attack fails, the only place I’ll be going to is the punishment room. Moreover, the sword I got from the bas.e.m.e.nt would be taken away.

I continued onward without considering the state I was in, I grabbed the railing and activated .

After, my consciousness moved above Kito’s head. Although my view didn’t change much, being in the air made the scenery under my feet completely different.

However, the biggest difference was when I appeared above his head, Kito was overshadowed by an enormous shadow.

“——What!?”

Kito looked up, shocked, with eyes wide open. No wonder. It was because a huge school appeared in the sky.

——When I thought of this strategy, I saw Kito activating to make the rocks in his hand become boulders. At that moment, a question came to mind. 「When I activate to double, is there really no limit in size?」

Of course, I didn’t think it was true at the beginning. However, with Kito’s size right now, there was no other way than making something larger than he is to flatten him.

Although it was a stupid idea, it was worth a try. So, even if I needed to drag myself, I had to make it to the roof. Finally, I held the railing and activated while imagining an identical version of the school in the sky.

Although it was a desperate gamble, the result was a pretty successful copy of the entire school. Also, in order to prevent hitting the original school building, I purposely held the railing of school, letting it be completely directed downwards.

“——Take this!!”

I yelled as the duplicate school fell down altogether. Although I really wanted to go to the roof where Ryuji was at, the copied school would also disappear if I deactivated . So, my only choice was to fall down with the building (having said that, actually, Yuki could help deal with it by using .

When the duplicate school fell down, it still hit the original building. A part of the broken sections fell onto Kito’s colossal body.

Although Kito’s current height and the height of the school were around the same, it was still an overwhelming unfavorable in terms of width and depth. It was like the difference between a person and a truck. That’s to say, his current situation was like walking on the street and suddenly getting hit by a truck from the side.But, this wasn’t from the side. It was from the above.

So, Kito was helpless against the school building.

“Guwahhhhhhh!!”

He looked completely different from his satisfied expression earlier. Kito tried to catch the building with his hand, yelling a savage cry.

But, sure enough, Kito’s strength couldn’t support the whole school. Being unable to support it, he lost his balance and was overpowered by the school.

Kito’s feet were gradually pushed backwards, which uprooted various plants. Also, the sports department’s gym that was next to the sports field was crushed into ruins by Kito’s back. It was literally like the end the world.

On the other hand, I, who didn’t have a parachute, jumped from the rooftop and was stopped mid fall by an invisible force, arriving next to Yuki. I landed safely thanks to her, Yuki, my soul mate.

Finally, a great roar came from the school. Kito was completely buried under the school, lying there motionless.

The school dormitory that smashed into Kito shattered even more after it was slammed into the ground. Fragments of concrete mixed with the sand from the sports field. All kinds of dust flew into the air.

However, it was too early to relax. I was stopped by the sound of an avalanche, then I walked towards Kito. If the blow earlier didn’t get rid of him, I should take care of him right now, before he can get back up.

I walked to where Kito was. I found out that even though he was being pressed down by a lot of rubble, he still didn’t faint and was trying hard to get out.

So, I tried climbing his tree trunk-like neck and drew my sword while standing on his collarbone.

“Kito, please surrender immediately. Even if we take into account our size difference, I’m pretty confident that I can still cut your carotid artery. .”

Kito could feel the edge of the sword on his neck and made a face of disgust. He obediently stopped resisting.

“The battle has been decided! The victor: Yagumo Ryu!”

Then, s.h.i.+ranui, who came out of nowhere and now stood beside me, declared the end of the battle.
