Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

"It is said that the explosion was caused by a gas leak, and the whole family seems to have perished."

"That's terrifying..."

"Do you think it might be Satomi? After all, Kawamoto also..."

"And I heard yesterday that Shibuya and Okui didn't go home all night. Their families called the school."

"It seems that Seo-san is also..."

Isaac's performance yesterday was so shocking to them that, thinking about their own usual behavior, they all began to feel insecure.

Click.

At that moment, the classroom door opened, and Isaac and Ayana Fujisawa walked in together.

"..."

The class fell silent as soon as they arrived.

All the students fell silent, afraid that Isaac's gaze would fall upon them.

The two ignored them, placed their bags next to their seats, and waited for the day's classes.

He noticed two people, both of whom were classmates who hadn't shown up in the classroom yesterday.

One of them was Tokiwa Ren, who was indeed a delinquent. His open jacket, the necklace around his neck, and his sharp eyes were striking as he casually put his feet on the table.

If it weren't for some skill, someone looking like that would have been crippled in no time.

He had been watching Isaac ever since he entered the classroom, his eyes filled with no kindness.

"Looks like this guy is really looking for trouble. But what's it for? Is it because I, the transfer student, stole his thunder? Or does he think I'll prevent him from reaching the top of 'Shirasaki' or something?"

Isaac thought to himself, but then he laughed.

That's more like a student who's usually bored and has nothing to do. I can hang out with him sometime.

Another person who was also absent yesterday was Tsukamoto Miho, a beautiful girl with blonde hair.

She had been looking at Isaac since earlier, her eyes seemingly filled with curiosity.

As for why this person was looking at him, Isaac didn't have a clear answer. He guessed it was because he hadn't seen the transfer student yesterday and was now curious.

The morning classes were the same as usual; those who were supposed to attend class were paying attention, while those who wanted to slack off continued to do so without restraint.

Time flies, lunch break is here.

"Rentaro, did you bring a bento box today?"

"Oh, I brought it." Isaac took out a box and smiled. "I made a little bit myself. Let's go eat on the rooftop."

"it is good."

As soon as the two stood up, they saw Tokiwa Ren walk up in front of them.

"You're Rentaro Satomi?"

"Yes, what brings you here, Tokiwa-kun?"

He didn't answer Isaac's question directly. He first glanced at Fujisawa Ayana, who was hiding next to him, and secretly scoffed. Then he stared into Isaac's eyes and said, "I heard you beat up Ochi yesterday? Is that right?"

Ochi? Oh, the one who messed up my and Ayana's drawers yesterday.

He glanced at Ochi in the distance. The moment their eyes met, Ochi felt a chill run through his body and his breathing became difficult, as if someone was choking him.

“Yes, I did hit him yesterday,” Isaac laughed. “What’s wrong? Want to avenge your little brother?”

“I don’t have the habit of avenging a piece of trash,” Tokiwa Ren sneered, then looked at Isaac with cold eyes. “As a transfer student, you’re really arrogant.”

"What should I say? Thank you for the compliment?"

"I advise you to stay away from Ayana Fujisawa."

What if I don't?

"Really."

Isaac and Ren Tokiwa stood facing each other, an invisible aura surrounding them preventing anyone from getting close.

'Wow, this is the first time two delinquents have met.'

'Will they start fighting?'

'It seems like everyone's here for Fujisawa.'

Two delinquents got into a fight over a woman? Is Fujisawa the heroine of some shoujo manga?

The people around watched the scene with great interest, and to be honest, they were really looking forward to what would happen next.

Kitaura Ryo then stepped forward, walked to Tokiwa Ren's side, and said, "Ren, stop."

"Oh? You want to stop me?"

Tokiwa Ren narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Kitaura Ryo beside her.

"Don't go against him, Satomi is extremely dangerous," Kitaura Ryo whispered.

"Oh?"

Tokiwa Ren paid no attention to Kitaura Ryo's words. He looked at Isaac with interest and said, "It's lunch break now, let's go to the rooftop to solve this problem."

“That’s exactly what I was thinking too; we were just about to eat there,” Isaac said with a smile.

"it is good."

After speaking, Tokiwa Ren walked past the two of them. As she passed Fujisawa Ayana, she gave her a cold look, which made Ayana shiver.

"Looks like they want to duel me. Japanese junior high school students are really interesting."

Watching Tokiwa Ren leave, Isaac couldn't help but smile.

Chapter 647: Fighting?

Are you really going to duel?

In the hallway, Ayana asked with some concern.

Ren Tokiwa is known throughout the school for his fighting prowess; it's common for him to take down several people by himself. His personality is also extremely wicked, and many classmates, including teachers, are afraid of him.

Although Ayana didn't think Isaac was no match for Ren Tokiwa, she was very worried about him getting hurt.

“Well, I already knew that Japanese junior high school students have a lot of energy because they have less homework,” Isaac said with a smile.

Of course, he learned about it from comics.

Isaac still thinks Japan is a very magical place.

Yuto Seo, who was blinded in one eye by him and is probably drowning in some river now, is only fourteen years old but dares to have relationships with different girls.

Fourteen years old, a junior high school student. Isaac has already witnessed how amazing Japanese students can be.

They are all talented individuals.

The two quickly arrived at the entrance to the stairwell leading to the rooftop.

But before they even got there, they heard shouts coming from ahead.

"You brat, the boss said you're not allowed to go to the rooftop."

"Tokiwa Ren, I've been wanting to get rid of you for a long time. If you're so capable, try climbing one step up these stairs!"

Along the walkway, Tokiwa Ren and a group of ninth graders were already locked in a fierce competition. Those students were the delinquents who had been bribed by Isaac the day before.

I told them before not to let anyone go to the rooftop, and they did as I said. They even came to stop Tokiwa Ren when they saw him trying to go up to the rooftop.

"Move aside," Tokiwa Ren said calmly.

"Kid, you're pretty arrogant."

"Get rid of him."

A group of people rushed towards him.

Before he could even duel Isaac, he had already been targeted by a group of students older than him.

To be honest, even Tokiwa Ren would find it difficult to handle a person fighting against more than a dozen others.

"Stop, everyone."

"Boss?"

"Boss, you're here?"

The group of people who were planning to gang up on Tokiwa Ren stopped and lined up when they saw Isaac coming over.

What are you doing?

"Boss, this kid wanted to go up to the rooftop, but we stopped him," the leader said, pointing at Tokiwa Ren.

Tokiwa Ren loosened her collar, her gaze towards Isaac somewhat subtle.

He didn't understand why this group of older delinquents would show such respect to the person in front of them.

He just transferred to Shirasaki yesterday.

He himself was a delinquent and often got into fights, frequently clashing with these ninth-grade students. He knew that these students, relying on their seniority, had always acted arrogantly, yet now they were actually listening to a transfer student in the eighth grade?

“He’s here to solve a problem for me, so give him a seat,” Isaac said.

"So you've come here to challenge the boss to a duel, huh? You're really asking for trouble." The group of thugs exchanged glances and sneered. "Come on, make way for this brainless 'warrior'."

The crowd parted to make way for Tokiwa Ren.

“Please go ahead,” Isaac said with a smile.

"Humph."

As Isaac and Ren Tokiwa walked onto the rooftop, the rest of the group followed suit.

Just as he was about to close the door with a bad intention, he discovered that there was still someone standing outside.

She is a beautiful young girl, and also Isaac's classmate Tsukamoto Miho, whom he met for the first time today.

"Who are you? We have something to do on the rooftop."

“Your boss’s classmate,” Tsukamoto Miho said calmly. “Can I come in? I definitely won’t disturb the duel.”

"The boss's classmate?"
