Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

Tomie's strength and speed are actually inferior to the Slit-Mouthed Woman's, even if she pushes her strength to the limit using breathing techniques.

Not to mention, there's always a huge gap between armed and unarmed combat.

In a fair 1v1 duel, Tomie could at most rely on her immortality to remain undefeated.

However, the Slit-Mouthed Woman's initial target was Amamiya Rin, but Tomie's sudden appearance disrupted the Slit-Mouthed Woman's rhythm and successfully dragged her into her own.

The narrow corridor and the close proximity of the collisions gave Tomie a significant advantage.

Using swordsmanship to control the interplay between the two, and boxing to penetrate the inner circle of the Slit-Mouthed Woman, her attacks flowed like water without stopping. The Slit-Mouthed Woman was like a small fish trapped in a continuous stream.

In the stuffy and dark storage room, five elementary school students huddled together like dumplings, hiding under the table and in the innermost corner like frightened rabbits, holding hands tightly and not daring to breathe.

"The noise outside is...so loud."

Kenta, the boy who had previously shouted that he would destroy the Slit-Mouthed Woman, was so frightened that he sat on the ground and has not gotten up since.

He stared at the door of the storage room, at the two teachers standing there in a daze, and at the banging and crashing sounds coming from outside, which made his face even paler and his heart even more uneasy.

"Should we go out and take a look?"

Lu Cai, the girl with pigtails, was the first to lose her composure.

The unusual situation outside aroused her irrepressible curiosity.

The fear lingered, but the urge to know what was happening outside tickled my heart like a kitten's claws.

While the Slit-Mouthed Woman is unsettling, the fact that she knows nothing about herself is even more terrifying.

The children encouraged each other with their eyes.

Finally, like a string of little crabs linked together, they held their breath, crouched down, and crawled out from under the table and into the corner, carefully making their way to the door of the storeroom.

He poked his head out, and his view suddenly opened up.

In the center of the corridor, bathed in the light of lamps and moonlight, two figures were colliding and crossing at an astonishing speed!

One of the figures, holding a large pair of scissors, was none other than the terrifying woman who had been roaming around the school these past few days—the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

And another figure colliding with the Slit-Mouthed Woman...

In an instant, Kenta and Luna's eyes widened.

"Leo? Ultraman Leo!"

Kenta exclaimed in shock, his voice filled with unbelievable excitement.

Lu Cai, who was standing next to him, and three other elementary school students who squeezed in from behind, all five of their little heads froze in place.

Their eyes widened, fixed intently on the figure in the corridor wearing a white child's mask, fiercely battling the Slit-Mouthed Woman.

That white mask, those yellow, diamond-shaped eyes, and those three horns on its head—isn't that Ultraman Leo from the TV show?

Kenta opened his mouth wide without realizing it, as if he could fit an egg in it. All the fear he had felt earlier vanished, replaced by an excitement that made him want to jump up.

He forcefully tugged at the sleeve of the boy next to him.

"Look! It's Leo! Ultraman Leo! Ultraman Leo is fighting a monster!"

"It really is Ultraman Leo! Dad lied to me! Ultraman Leo really exists!"

The boy sniffed, rubbed his eyes hard, and shouted excitedly.

To Sekiguchi-sensei, Ando-sensei, and even Yusuke, who was already in middle school, it was just a toy mask of Ultraman Leo, a cheap plastic mask meant for children, worn on the face of a woman with absurdly good skills who could fight monsters like Kuchisake-onna.

However, for these elementary school students who are at most eleven or twelve years old and still at the stage of believing in Ultraman, the logic is simple and direct.

If the Slit-Mouthed Woman is a real monster, then why can't the Giant of Light, who fights to protect humanity, be real?

Isn't everything happening right now the most powerful proof?

It is well-reasoned and logically clear.

"Go for it, Leo!"

Kenta was the first to shout it out at the top of his lungs, his little face turning red and his fists clenched tightly, as if he himself was exerting force.

"Go Leo! Defeat her!"

Lu Cai also shouted, swinging her twin ponytails back and forth.

"Use the Leo Beam now!"

"Defeat her! With your Leo Kick!"

"Go, Leo!"

The children started shouting all at once, their voices echoing down the corridor. All their fear had vanished, replaced by the excitement of watching superheroes fight bad guys.

They crowded at the doorway, their eyes fixed on the red figure in the corridor.

Every time Leo dodged the scissors or punched the Slit-Mouthed Woman, they couldn't help but gasp softly or swing their arms vigorously, as if they had won a battle themselves.

As for the terrifying appearance of the Slit-Mouthed Woman, in their eyes at this moment, she was no different from a monster on TV waiting to be defeated by Ultraman.

In the corridor, Tomie, who had just dodged the scissors that the Slit-Mouthed Woman was sweeping towards her calf with a sliding step, and then delivered a solid backhand punch to the other woman's shoulder blade, raised an eyebrow under her mask.

What are these kids yelling about? Leo? What nonsense is this?

She had no idea what she was wearing on her face. When Amamiya Rin gave her the mask, she thought it was just a childish toy and didn't look at it closely.

At the same time, the Slit-Mouthed Woman also attracted the attention of the shouts behind her.

Continuing to fight is pointless. This woman in front of me is too strange. Putting aside her strength and speed, her boxing skills and predictive abilities are terrifying.

Moreover, her physical condition was also very strange. It wasn't that she missed every time, but the scissors seemed to have no effect on this woman.

Out of the corner of her eye, the Slit-Mouthed Woman caught a glimpse of the doorway to the storeroom, where small heads peeked out, their faces beneath scarves revealing malicious expressions.

Target... shifted!

The moment the thought arose, the Slit-Mouthed Woman suddenly retreated!

Her speed far surpassed Tomie's, and now that she was focused on retreating, Tomie's fist could only barely graz the hem of her clothes.

In the blink of an eye, the figure of the Slit-Mouthed Woman became blurry, like a night breeze, disappearing from Tomie's sight and rushing towards the storeroom behind her.

Faced with the charging Slit-Mouthed Woman, Sekiguchi-sensei and Ando-sensei instinctively retreated.

However, the Slit-Mouthed Woman's target was not them.

The slit-mouthed woman suddenly stopped at the entrance of the storage room, her sinister gaze fixed on Lu Cai, and reached out to grab her.

"ah--!"

In an instant, the surrounding elementary school students screamed, their faces showing fear, and they huddled together in a panic.

"Roadside dish!"

Yusuke, who was at the end of the corridor, witnessed this scene and was so shocked that he screamed.

No one expected that the Slit-Mouthed Woman would suddenly withdraw from the fight with Tomie and go to bully elementary school students.
