Chapter 769 - Test in Babel 3 (1/2)
After mastering ”Kenbunshoku Haki”, Haru could generally measure the strength of the people whose presence he had sensed.
Haki is a very useful skill and it is also the reason why he has recommended it to everyone on the Group Chat.
Haru, Shinobu, Kouha, and Kuroneko seemed to be very calm in front of this person who suddenly came to the arena, but Akatsuki showed hostility right away.
”Who are you?”
”Nice to meet you, Ousawa Akatsuki-kun.”
The young man looked at Akatsuki and started to introduce himself. ”I'm JPN's Babel High School Sector's Student Council President, Hikami Kyouya.” He then turned into a group of four.
”You too, Kasugano Haruka-kun, Kocho Shinobu-san, Godo Ruri-san, and Kouha Ren-kun.”
Kyouya wasn't sure, but he could feel that the strength of the four of them might not be underestimated.
”President, we're very humbled that you came here on your day off.”
The staff who came to help the examiner who had been knocked out by Myuu politely greeted Kyouya.
”It's okay. More importantly, take that man to the infirmary, quickly.”
Kyouya looked at the five of them and smiled. ”Well then, allow me to take all of you on.”
”The five of us?”
Kuroneko frowned when she heard Kyouya's words.
”You sure love to underestimate us, huh? Prez?” Akatsuki started to get agitated and wanted to show his strength.
”Whoa, all of you start to scare me, but I've never said that I'll fight all of you.”
Kyouya felt that both Shinobu and Kouha were very dangerous.
”Let's start the quest.”
Kouha got bored waiting in this place.
”Then, let's start the quest, right away.”
Then suddenly five pillars of ice appeared below them.
Akatsuki was surprised and tried to save Myuu, but someone was faster than him.
Haru had taken Myuu away from her spot earlier.
Myuu was a bit surprised when she was being carried by Haru, but calmed herself quickly since she knew that he was trying to save her. Being carried on his thick and hard arms, she could see half of Haru's eyes from below and it made her very curious about his appearance even more.
'Oh, he has a mole under his right eye.'
It was the first thing that came into her head.
Kuroneko, Shinobu, and Kouha were speechless when they saw Haru's response to save a girl.
'This harem protagonist!'
”Yo, you sure move fast.” Akatsuki smiled, but he thought that Haru, who was unnoticeable, was very fast. ”You really want to become my little brother, huh?” His mood was very bad actually.
”You alright?” Haru asked Myuu and ignored Akatsuki. Even though he had a good personality, it didn't mean that he was alright being teased by a man.
”Y - Yes.”
Myuu nodded with a blush.
”Stay outside the ring. It'll get dangerous.”
Myuu nodded, but suddenly she saw Haru's head was knocked by Kuroneko.
”What the hell are you doing?! How can you flirt with someone on the first day! Hurry up and come back!”
”.........”
Kuroneko and Shinobu pulled Haru away from Myuu.
Haru was silent and could only sigh.
”This guy.....”
Akatsuki was annoyed when he was being ignored.
However, Kyouya was different, for Akatsuki, he might see that this guy as a rough diamond, and whether Akatsuki would turn into a diamond or not only time could answer that question, but Shinobu, Haru, Kouha, and Kuroneko were different. From his observation, the four of them were as bright as a sun, especially Kouha who had shattered his ice pillar right away.
”You sure are very strong, Kouha Ren-kun.”
Kouha yawned ignoring the guy.
”The test is destroying the ice pillar, right?” Kuroneko asked.
”Yes, Godou Ruri-san. The test is only destroying the pillar of ice.” Kyouya didn't mind Kouha's response and answered Kuroneko's question.
Akatsuki didn't do anything and waited for the four of them to finish their test, but his eyes were focussed on Haru.
Kuroneko smiled and raised both of her palms in the sky. ”Oh, sky, be change, and call forth of lightning for me!”
Then a black cloud gathered together creating a rumbling sound.
*Rumble!* *Rumble!* *Rumble!*
”Lightning Guillotine!”
*BOOOOOMM!!!*
The pillar of ice was struck by thunder and shattered into small pieces.
*Bzzt!* *Bzzt!* *Bzzt!*
The lightning didn't disappear and moved wildly on the ground.
Kouha's action was too fast when he destroyed the pillar of ice that no one had noticed beside Kyoya, but Kuroneko was different since her magic's power was so exaggerated.
Kuroneko's lightning magic was and the noise created by it almost made their eardrums burst.
”S - Strong...”
Myuu was surprised by Kuroneko's strength.
”It seems that you've grown.” Kouha looked at Kuroneko.
”Hehehe.” Kuroneko was happy when she was praised.
”But you don't need to say such exaggerated words every time you've sent out your magic.” Shinobu didn't understand why Kuroneko needed to utter such embarrassing words.
”S - Shut up! You don't understand the beauty of these words, right, Haru?” Kuroneko looked at Haru asking for his support.
”70 points.”
”What?!”
”You should be able to create more simple words to send out your magic.” Haru really felt that Kuroneko's mantra was a bit embarrassing.
Kuroneko twitched her lips and looked at Shinobu.
”Shinobu, it's your time!”
