Demon Slayer: I was taken home by Shinobu Kocho at the beginning.

A few days ago, the man's father came from outside the school, wanting him to drop out and return to the White Room.

But he refused.

From that man, he learned that his butler, Matsuo, who had once taken great care of him, had been driven to his death by him.

Not only the butler Matsuo, but also Matsuo's son.

After learning about these things, Ayanokouji was neither angry nor guilty. He simply had one thought: he could not back down.

You want me to drop out of school? Well, I'm going to stay here for the full three years.

Didn't you say that someone like me can't make friends?

Then I'll make friends and show you.

So he came to the appointment today not to cause a conflict with Long Yuan, but simply to ask Long Yuan to keep it a secret.

Once that incident is exposed, making friends will likely become difficult.

Ayanokouji set off alone toward the rooftop. Because of Ryuen's instructions, Yamada Albert, who recognized Ayanokouji, did not stop him.

"The person Longyuan is waiting for is me. No one else will come after me. I will solve all the problems."

Moreover, depending on the situation, I might clash with Longyuan. Without your help, Longyuan might not be a match for me.

Albert Yamada thought for a moment, then nodded and followed Ayanokouji to the rooftop.

After arriving on the rooftop, Yamada closed the rooftop door behind him, and Ayanokouji looked around.

The only camera lens had a layer of ice, neither too thick nor too thin, which looked very unnatural.

Was it made by Longyuan?

He's really clever to think of such a method, or was it a suggestion from Tatsuya Kamio?

There were only two people on the rooftop, Ryuen and Ishizaki, which was somewhat unexpected for him.

It seems like Tatsuya Kamio didn't come.

"Hehe, they really came. Even if this matter were made public, it wouldn't have any impact."

Upon seeing Ayanokoji, Ryuen let out a mocking laugh.

"That's for you. For me, I don't want to be disliked by most people," Ayanokouji said calmly.

"If you don't want to be disliked by most people, why do something so foolish? Was someone instructing you to do this?"

Ryuen looked at Ayanokouji with anticipation.

Even now, he still believes that there is someone behind Ayanokouji.

“Unfortunately, I have no one backing me anymore. I was the one who did that.” Ayanokouji’s expression remained unchanged. “And I had long expected that you would be able to find me.”

"Really? Hahahaha..."

Long Yuan seemed to have heard a joke and was very happy, but in an instant, he turned ferocious.

"So, did you foresee that you would end up in this desperate situation?"

"That's right, this is exactly what I expected."

"So, do you have any idea what will happen next?" Ryuen walked up to Ayanokouji with a sinister grin.

Are you trying to use violence against me?

That's exactly what Longyuan thinks.

But looking at Ayanokouji's still expressionless, or rather, bluffing face, Ryuen felt like laughing.

"You really annoy me. I've been looking forward to a feast for almost two months, and all I get is someone like you." Long Yuan's face showed a sigh. "You were clearly in dire straits, yet you didn't even realize it."

"Is it a desperate situation?" Ayanokouji muttered to himself. "Ryuen, I didn't come here today to have a conflict with you. I just hope you can keep that matter a secret."

Confidential?

Ryuen was puzzled, and even felt that Ayanokouji was playing him, because if he really didn't want others to know about that matter, he would have just not written his name at the end in the first place.

If it weren't for that name, I wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to track down Ayanokouji.

Ichinose, that nice guy, naturally wouldn't either.

But he did it even though he knew it would expose him, yet now he wants Longyuan to keep it a secret.

“You want me to keep it a secret?” Long Yuan chuckled. “It’s not impossible, since that thing isn’t enough to make you drop out of school, but I have one condition.”

"What conditions?"

"What exactly was your purpose in doing that thing before? Don't fucking say it was to frame me, that won't work."

Ryuen stared intently at Ayanokouji, but Ayanokouji's expression remained unchanged.

"I just want to draw your attention to me, and then crush you in the area where you excel: violence."

Ayanokoji's answer surprised Ryuen and Ishizaki.

How can you defeat me in my area of ​​greatest strength: violence?

Ayanokouji, do you want to hear what you're saying?

"Hahahaha! Brother Longyuan, what is this guy saying? Should I teach him a lesson?" Ishizaki laughed wildly from the side.

Ryuen was somewhat disappointed by Ayanokouji's answer and instantly lost interest in him.

"Do as you please, it's fine if you beat him to a pulp. Of course, Ayanokouji, if you can really defeat me in the realm of violence, I might keep it a secret for you."

Having received permission, Ishizaki looked at Ayanokouji with a mischievous grin.

"Don't blame me, Ayanokouji, you caused all of this yourself."

As he spoke, Ishizaki casually swung his fist and punched Ayanokouji.

However, even though it's just a casual swing, someone without fighting experience would probably be at a loss immediately and then watch helplessly as the fist lands on their face.

However, to Ayanokouji, Ishizaki's movements were like those of an elementary school student—so simple and easy to understand, so predictable.

Ayanokouji easily caught Ishizaki's punch with his right hand.

Chapter 224 Fear

As a former delinquent, fighting was a regular occurrence for Ishizaki before and even after he entered high school.

Although he had been behaving himself for almost a year, he had not forgotten his fighting skills. In fact, with his physical development over the past year, he felt that he was even stronger.

Therefore, although his punch just now looked very casual, he was certain that it was not something an ordinary person could dodge.

But the guy named Ayanokouji in front of him not only didn't dodge, but instead caught his fist with his hand.

He's an expert.

Instinctively, Ishizaki tried to pull his hand out of Ayanokouji's grasp, but he found that his hand was as if it were being held by vises, and he couldn't pull it out at all.

At the same time, a sharp pain gradually came from my fist, as if the bones were about to be crushed.

Ishizaki's extensive fighting experience allowed him to react immediately. He ignored his restrained left hand and used it as a support, enduring the excruciating pain, to raise his right foot and kick Ayanokouji.

Because when the other person restricts your left hand, it also means that the other person has one hand that cannot be used.

A brilliant tactic of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao".

Moreover, Ishizaki was not fighting alone. Yamada, who was behind Ayanokouji, immediately punched Ayanokouji after realizing Ishizaki's situation.

Facing both Ishizaki's kick and Yamada's punch, Ayanokouji remained calm and immediately released his grip on Ishizaki's left fist.

Then, with an elegant and quick turn, he clenched his left fist and met Yamada's fist head-on, while simultaneously raising his right leg to block Ishizaki's kick.

Despite supporting himself on only one leg, Ayanokouji's posture was unusually stable.

However, Ayanokouji felt a stinging pain in his left arm from his hand to his shoulder.

As for Ayanokouji, who was able to block his punch head-on, Yamada obviously didn't expect it either. His eyes behind his sunglasses must have been quite surprised.

Then, Ayanokouji immediately crouched down and swept Ishizaki, who hadn't yet retracted his right foot, to the ground with a sweeping leg kick.

Then, with his hands on the ground, he used the momentum of his body rotation to launch a "rabbit kicks eagle" attack on Yamada's abdomen with both feet.

Yamada had no choice but to put his hands together to defend himself, but even so, he was still kicked away by the powerful force, and after taking several steps back, he crashed into the wall behind him.

As for Ayanokouji, he used the recoil to stand up again.

In less than a minute of fighting, Ayanokouji gained the upper hand under the combined attack of Ishizaki and Yamada.

Although Ishizaki and Yamada were in great pain, they did not lose their fighting ability.

Ryuen was also stunned by Ayanokouji's move and realized that what Ayanokouji had just said was not untrue.

He truly intended to defeat himself through violence.

However, after witnessing Ayanokouji's extraordinary martial prowess, Ryuen was not afraid at all; instead, he became even more excited.

So that's why you said that to me, Kamio?

Just how much information do you have that I don't know about?

So, the D-class student who piqued Sakayanagi's interest was indeed Ayanokouji.

After the sports festival ended, Sakayanagi had Kamuro call Ayanokouji, something Ryuen hadn't forgotten.

Although there had been some speculation about this before, Ryuen was certain after seeing the fighting prowess that Ayanokouji had just displayed.

It matches up now, everything makes sense.

The next thing to do is to make this guy named Ayanokouji understand what real violence is!

At this moment, Ishizaki and Yamada had also recovered from Ayanokouji's attack.

Realizing that Ayanokouji was likely the strongest fighter present, Ryuen stopped being overconfident and slowly moved his feet while keeping an eye on Ayanokouji.

Soon, Ryuen, Ishizaki, and Yamada surrounded Ayanokouji.

"on!"

At Ryuen's command, Ishizaki and Yamada charged towards Ayanokouji from the side, and Ryuen, of course, didn't just stand there and watch; he went straight at them from the front.

Having witnessed Ayanokouji's power, Ishizaki immediately unleashed a full-force attack on Ayanokouji's head.

However, faced with Ishizaki's simple attack, Ayanokouji raised his right foot and kicked Ishizaki in the face, sending him flying.

But at the same time, Yamada opened his arms and hugged Ayanokouji.

Although Ayanokouji's strength was comparable to her own, her physique was far superior. If she could successfully capture him, she could let Ryuen deal with them.

And Ayanokouji was caught off guard, and Yamada succeeded, managing to grab Ayanokouji with both hands.

Ayanokouji was bound and unable to spread his arms. No matter how he swayed left or right, he could not break free from the big man's restraint.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ryuen lunged forward and delivered a powerful punch to Ayanokouji's stomach, then tried to deliver another powerful punch to Ayanokouji's face with his other fist.

However, Ayanokouji reacted extremely quickly. The punch that had hit him in the stomach seemed to have had no effect on him at all. He simply tilted his head and successfully dodged it.

Then, with his back against Yamada, Ayanokouji leaped into the air and kicked Ryuen hard in the chest, sending Ryuen flying.

Then, using the momentum of his feet landing, he bent over and lifted Yamada off his back, making his back make intimate contact with the ground.

The intense pain caused Yamada to instinctively loosen his grip.

After breaking free of his restraints, Ayanokouji immediately punched Yamada in the chest.

As the punch landed, Yamada, who had been struggling, immediately stopped moving and was undoubtedly knocked unconscious.

Looking at Ishizaki beside him, it seemed that the kick just now was too forceful. He was lying on the ground motionless, showing no sign of getting up.

However, to Ayanokouji's surprise, Ryuen, who had just been sent flying, was now standing up, clutching his chest.

Although he didn't use his full strength, that kick must have hurt a lot, and Long Yuan must have felt terrible falling from the air onto the concrete ground.

It's amazing that he was able to stand up despite his physique.

monster!

Ryuen has a new definition of Ayanokouji: this guy is outstanding in both strength and speed.

Using her strength to lift Yamada, who weighs nearly 200 pounds, is something that not everyone can do.

Moreover, they seemed to be very good at dealing with being surrounded. The three of them attacked Ayanokouji, but apart from Ryuen punching him, they were unable to cause him any injury.

Furthermore, he took the opportunity to eliminate Albert, the strongest member of Longyuan's side.

Hey, Kamio, do you know how strong this guy is?
