Practical Classroom: Kaoru Hanayama's Classroom of Merit

With a deafening roar, the massive 300-kilogram body crashed straight in.

Faced with that overwhelming mass and kinetic energy, Kaoru Hanayama did not back down an inch.

He simply spread his legs wide apart and lowered his waist as if rooted to the ground.

Boom! ! !

The wild boar's sharp tusks and thick skull slammed solidly into the front of Huashan.

If it were an ordinary person, their abdomen would have been pierced through, and they would have been thrown several meters away.

But Huashan didn't move an inch.

"Pfft...?"

The wild boar's movements completely stopped.

A clear look of confusion appeared in its small eyes.

As the king of this forest, this was the first time in its life that this beast, which would fall down no matter what it bumped into, had encountered such a situation.

Its full-force thrust had absolutely no effect.

call……

A sudden gust of wind swept past the cigarette dangling from Huashan's mouth.

The cigarette, which had been so hard to light, suddenly went out.

Huashan paid no attention to the wild boar's confusion, took the cigarette out of his mouth, and casually threw it on the ground.

"Tsk."

He only smacked his lips once.

Immediately afterwards, the air around Huashan changed.

He pulled his right arm back dramatically.

With his shoulder joint moving to its limit, his massive right fist reached directly behind him.

That wasn't a refined stance from boxing; it was just a wide, sweeping punch often used in street fights.

speed.

Grip strength.

weight.

Multiplying these three elements together results in pure destructive power.

His right arm shot out like a cannonball.

"…………!!"

Boom! ...

Huashan's right straight punch landed precisely in the center of the wild boar's skull.

Crunch, crunch, crunch!

The thick bones caved in, and the brain tissue inside was instantly destroyed by the shockwave.

The wild boar didn't even have time to let out a dying cry before its massive body crashed to the ground, dying instantly.

Huashan maintained his fist-throwing posture and slowly exhaled.

"Hey! What was that really scary sound just now!?"

"Was there an earthquake!?"

Hearing the commotion, the students of Class C stopped setting up their campsite and gathered in twos and threes at the edge of the forest.

Led by Sudo, Ike, and Yamauchi, Hirata and Horikita also peeked out.

Then they saw the huge wild boar carcass lying at the foot of Huashan Mountain, and they all gasped in surprise.

"How did this abnormally large size come about?"

Horikita Suzune was the first to notice the unusual situation, and she frowned and spoke up.

"Why would such a large, deadly wild animal exist on the island that the school arranged to use as an examination venue?"

Horikita pointed out the suspicious points clearly, but the boys in the class reacted differently.

"No, no, Horikita, that's not the point!"

Ike Kanji stared wide-eyed and launched into a frenzied rant.

"In this situation, isn't the most outrageous thing that Huashan killed this wild boar, which was as big as a car, with his bare hands?!"

"Well, because it's Hanayama."

Haruki Yamauchi nodded with an expression that seemed to indicate a strange acceptance, or even a sense of giving up on thinking.

"If it were Hanayama, it wouldn't be surprising at all if he took down a wild boar with one punch. In fact... I feel like I'd be an idiot to be surprised."

"Yes, indeed... After all, he can create an artificial tsunami in a swimming pool..."

Sudo also recalled his memories of the swimming pool and said, wiping away cold sweat.

Although they were initially afraid of Huashan's violence when they first enrolled, they were able to overcome their fear after witnessing its unreasonable power several times.

People have started using the persuasive phrase "because it's Huashan" to gloss over the issue.

"So what should we do with this wild boar? It'll rot if we leave it alone."

Horikita calmly inquired about the subsequent handling methods.

Huashan glanced at the wild boar's enormous body and replied indifferently.

"Eat it. Since we've taken its life, let's devour it completely."

That short sentence sparked a flurry of discussion in the class.

"Really?! This is amazing, a barbecue party with all-natural game meat!"

Chi raised his hands and cheered happily. For him, who loves outdoor activities, a barbecue in the wild was an activity he couldn't ask for.

However, dissatisfaction came from the girl's side.

"Um... wild boar meat must smell really bad, right?"

"It looks like it'll be really hard, is it really edible...?"

Satsuki Shinohara and the others showed undisguised disgust.

"Stop with the extravagant talk! In this kind of wilderness survival, you should be grateful to get free meat!"

Ike Kanji raised his voice in rebuttal.

"Indeed, this solves the food problem for several days."

Horikita also offered his assessment of the situation from a thrifty perspective.

"Alright, alright, everyone calm down... But if we're going to do an autopsy, we don't have a single scalpel."

Hirata seized the opportunity to intervene and mediate, pointing out the real problems.

"As for knives and cutting boards, it seems to be mentioned in the manual. You can buy them from the school as supplies by spending special points."

Chi said, flipping through a thick manual.

"I see. Then let's go to Teacher Chabashira and use points to apply for the purchase..."

Hirata suddenly stopped speaking, and everyone in the class looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Huh? Where's Chabashira-sensei?"

Karuizawa Kei tilted her head.

"Speaking of which, it seems like everyone was setting up the tents the whole time. Did no one go to call for Teacher Chabashira?"

Kushida spoke with a stiff smile, as if he had just remembered.

"Oh no...! If we keep that stingy homeroom teacher waiting in this heat, she'll probably get in a bad mood and say something like 'rejecting the points application'!"

Sudo shouted, his face pale.

"Someone, someone hurry and fetch the teacher! Before the wild boar meat spoils!"

Ike Kanji's grief-stricken cries echoed through the forest.

"I'll go. I can run there quickly."

Hirata smiled wryly and ran back the way he came.
