Survival in the Class: I'm the Only Boy on the Bus

The afterimages of crimson and jet-black scabbards crisscrossed in the gale.

After each collision of scabbards, Sakura Hiyuki had to take several steps back.

She took several steps with her delicate feet in her high-heeled sandals before she regained her balance.

The silver bells on her ankles jingled rapidly as she stepped back.

Sakura Hiyuki's tiger's mouth was cracked from the shock, and drops of blood dripped down her katana and landed on the puddles on the bridge.

But the more she fought, the more excited she became, her high-tied white ponytail and red horse-face skirt flying wildly with her movements.

The blush on her face deepened, and her breathing became more and more rapid.

Jiang Chen looked at the girl whose face was becoming increasingly strange.

I'm speechless...

Something is wrong!

Something's not right!

What's with that increasingly shy expression?

Why are you blushing?!

Jiang Chen wondered if Ying Feixue had some kind of mental illness.

Could it be... that their brains have all grown into their chests?

Tang Yan's eyes lit up.

She nudged Wu Maiduo gently with her elbow, leaned closer, and covered her mouth with her hand, letting out a soft gasp:

"Holy crap, a yandere girl with a high ponytail and a katana!"

"I like this setting! It suits my XP."

As she spoke, Tang Yan's mouth started to water.

Actually, any anime/manga character that's a beautiful girl fits Tang Yan's fantasies...

Otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen in love with every guy she met, resulting in her having 108 two-dimensional waifus...

Wu Maiduo's lips twitched as she watched Ying Feixue become more and more shy as the fight progressed.

She also felt that this girl had some issues...

And it's not a small one...

Jiang Chen watched as more and more blood flowed from the tiger's mouth of Ying Feixue's right hand.

Blood droplets fell onto the puddles on the bridge, splashing up clusters of blood flowers.

Jiang Chen initially only wanted to spar with Ying Feixue.

After all, Sakura Hiyuki was the strongest player she had ever encountered outside of her own team.

The two had no grudges against each other, so he had no reason to kill them.

But if they continue fighting like this, Sakura Hiyuki's wrist will definitely be seriously injured.

For someone who makes a living with knives in the apocalypse, this is tantamount to ruining most of her chances of survival.

Jiang Chen is not a very good person.

He just thought that Sakura Hiyori's S-rank talent was quite useful.

He would like to replicate it if given the chance.

It's definitely not because I'm lusting after her body...

But if Sakura Hiyuki dares to cross the line and threaten her and the girls' safety,

No matter how strong or beautiful she is.

Jiang Chen would not hesitate to kill her with a single stroke.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen looked at Ying Feixue's hand trembling slightly as she gripped the knife, and said calmly:

"Draw your sword, or you will be no match for me."

After saying that, he silently added a sentence in his mind.

I was just kidding. You couldn't beat me even if you drew your sword.

With 188 points of defense, you can't even break my shield.

What can you use to fight me?

Ying Feixue was slightly taken aback after hearing Jiang Chen's words.

Then, her cheeks turned even redder, her breathing became rapid, her chest heaved violently, and her white shirt was stretched taut.

Ying Feixue's crimson eyes were filled with infatuation for Jiang Chen, and even her voice trembled:

"Fighting with you...makes my heart race..."

"Ah~...that's great~!"

"I'm so happy! I'm enjoying this so much! Hahaha—!"

"I can't help but want to continue..."

Sakura Hiyuki took a deep breath and let out a sickly laugh that echoed across the bridge:

"Since that's the case... let's go all out and let them have their fun~..."

Sakura Hiyuki's morbid laughter echoed throughout the entire overpass.

The crows and vultures watching from afar were startled and flew away, cawing loudly.

Hearing the laughter, Tang Yan touched the goosebumps on her arm:

"Wow! That laughter! Absolutely incredible! It gave me goosebumps..."

"This is the right way to portray a yandere!"

Wu Maiduo gripped the Six Harmonies Spear tightly, her brows furrowing.

Something's wrong with this white-haired girl.

With her left hand holding the scabbard and her right hand resting on the hilt, Sakura Hiyuki slowly raised the crimson katana above her head.

She looked at Jiang Chen, her smile slowly fading, leaving only seriousness:

"It should...snow..."

The next moment, Sakura Hiyuki directly activated the active effect of her S-rank talent [Severing the Cage]:

[Consumes 80% of Spirit Power, Attack Power x3, Agility x3.]

She also activated the active effect of [Katana: Ice Cutter]:

[Continuously consumes mental energy; attacks deal additional ice-attribute damage.]

Then, she slowly drew her sword.

The icy blue blade slid out inch by inch from its crimson scabbard.

A pale blue chill emanated from the blade.

The water under Sakura Hiyuki's feet instantly froze.

The ice spread outwards from her, crackling and popping sounds echoing across the bridge.

Until all the water on the overpass froze, the ice surface reflected the hazy skylight.

The temperature suddenly dropped.

Scattered snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

As the blade, emanating a pale blue chill, was drawn, Sakura Hiyuki's attack power and agility continued to rise!

Attack power: 50, 60, 70...

Agility: 12, 16, 20...

Tang Yan's eyes sparkled when she saw this scene:

"Holy crap! Is it coming?!"

Σ(゜ロ゜；)

She instantly transformed into a drama queen, mimicking the tone of that "long press dodge master" and dubbing for Sakura Hiyuki.

And it was shouted out, in a really childish tone:

"The shattered shackles have been transformed into sharp blades!"

"I will sever the cage of fate!!"

ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ

Tang Yan finished her voiceover.

Sakura Hiyuki drew her katana completely.

Her attack power soared to 150 points!

Agility has also been increased to 36 points!

Sakura Hiyuki's aura reached its peak, and the oppressive feeling exploded on the bridge, causing cracks to appear on the ice surface.

The cracks on the ice surface extended outwards from her, all the way to Jiang Chen's feet.

The icy blue blade was completely exposed to the air.

The blade constantly emitted a pale blue chill.

It was like a ball of icy blue flame burning on a knife.

The strong wind scattered Ying Feixue's white hair and lifted her red horse-face skirt, causing the silver bells on her ankles to ring incessantly in the wind.

Holding a katana that emitted an icy blue aura, she slowly walked towards Jiang Chen.

Like an ice queen walking in the wind and snow.

This was the first time that Sakura Hiyori had fully unleashed her talent.

The opponents she had encountered before couldn't even withstand a single strike from her unsheathed sword.

This piece of trash doesn't deserve my sword at all!

Only this boy in front of her was worthy of her drawing this knife, worthy of her using all her strength.

Wu Maiduo stared intently at Ying Feixue, who was slowly approaching.

She instantly switched to a fighting expression, sensing the sharp, chilling aura emanating from Sakura Hiyori.

Wu Maiduo knew very well that even at her peak, she might not be able to withstand this attack.

But she still took a step forward, holding the Six Harmonies Spear at an angle with the tip pointing to the ground, tightly protecting Tang Yan behind her.

Wu Maiduo turned to look at Tang Yan, her tone somewhat urgent:

"Little Koi, that strike... was probably quite powerful..."

"Do we really not need to go up and help?"

To Wu Maiduo's surprise, Tang Yan, the little koi, was leisurely eating compressed biscuits.

His cheeks were bulging from chewing, and he didn't seem worried about Jiang Chen at all...

Tang Yan said vaguely:

"What?! We're helping Brother Jiang Chen?"

She waved her hand casually:

"Um... don't worry, it's okay..."

"With Brother Jiang Chen around, we can just relax and watch the show."

Then, Tang Yan tossed a pack of compressed biscuits to Wu Maiduo.

Wu Maiduo subconsciously reached out her left hand to catch it, and seeing Tang Yan's calm appearance, her brows furrowed even more.

Tang Yan pointed to the river at the bottom of the canyon, still chewing on a biscuit:

"Maiduo, you've just joined us, so you might not know how strong Brother Jiang Chen is."

"Look! Do you see that river down there?"

Wu Maiduo looked in the direction she was pointing.

The canyon was very deep, with dark brown river water churning below.

There were also many bloated zombie corpses floating on the water, which was enough to make one's scalp crawl.

Wu Maiduo nodded, her tone still somewhat urgent:

"You saw it, so what?"

Tang Yan swallowed the cookie in her mouth, looked at Jiang Chen's tall and straight back, and smiled:

"That was water that Brother Jiang Chen put in..."
