I'm in a real religion, why are all the people who confess to me girls?

"Rin, get out of the way!"

"Rin, get out of the way!"

The identical reminder sound made Horikita Suzune's heart ache even more.

She didn't know how a match had turned out this way. On one side was the person she liked, and on the other side was her brother. Both of them were important to Horikita Suzune. She couldn't possibly turn a blind eye to this kind of infighting, so she rushed in even knowing that she might get hurt.

"Why must we resort to violence? There can be some misunderstanding..."

"Lingyin, I'm saying this one last time, get out of the way. Tianyin is no longer someone who can be persuaded to give up using force. The only way to deal with violence is violence. You're just getting in the way."

Horikita Manabu's blunt words caused Horikita Suzune to show a pained expression.

"But brother, if you continue like this, one of you will get hurt..."

So what if I'm injured?

"?"

"I have done my duty to the end. It is unavoidable that I was injured because I was not as skilled as others. And it is only natural that Tianyin, as the source of this riot, was injured, isn't it?"

Horikita learned a few words and left Horikita Suzune speechless.

Seeing Horikita Suzune's weak expression, Amane couldn't help but frown.

Those with weak wills standing here are more likely to get hurt than the others.

"There must be a way... there must be a way to stop this unrest."

Horikita Suzune spoke to Horikita Manabu with a serious expression.

Horikita Manabu glanced at Amane's expression and decisively threw a punch at Horikita Suzune.

"Since you're still talking nonsense, I'll make you come to your senses!"

Horikita Manabu's punches were fast and forceful, and Horikita Suzune had no idea that Horikita Manabu would be so ruthless towards her. Caught off guard, she was knocked to the ground by Horikita Manabu's punch.

Horikita Manabu's expression turned grim as he looked at the red liquid smeared on his fist.

This was completely different from what he had expected. Logically, Amane should have helped Horikita Suzune block the attack.

But why...? Could it be that Horikita Suzune isn't actually that important to her? Or is it...?

Horikita Manabu felt a chill run down his spine.

The aura emanating from Tianyin seemed even stronger. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he vaguely felt that Tianyin's muscles seemed to have swelled up even more than before.

"As expected of Horikita Manabu, you're trying to use Suzune to expose my weakness, aren't you?"

Amane came to Horikita Suzune's side and gently turned Suzune, who was lying on the ground, over. This punch was a full-force strike that Horikita had learned, and it hit Horikita Suzune squarely in the cheek. Even though she was unconscious, blood was still gushing out of her mouth and nose. Without treatment, excessive blood loss was a minor matter, but if the blood blocked her throat or nasal cavity...

"Mio, take Suzune to find someone to treat her."

"Huh? Why me? You were so rough with me just now, and you want me to help you? Are you kidding me... Waaaaah!"

Before Ibuki could finish complaining, Amane had already placed the unconscious Rin into Ibuki's arms, and then came to Horikita Manabu's side.

I think I'm getting a little angry.

Chapter 460: The 'Unsolvable' Ultimate Kill

"Angry? I can't sense any anger from you. Although your expression is indeed 'angry,' there's not a single trace of anger in your eyes, is there?"

Horikita Manabu re-adjusted his defensive stance.

For Tianyin, anger is just an excuse.

That's right, it was just an excuse she used to vent her violence on others; those cold eyes would never waver for her stupid sister.

It seems he was careless after all. He thought that Horikita Suzune was a unique existence for Amane, and that she might become Amane's biggest weakness in this situation. However, the experiment just now proved that Amane's behavior and actions were no longer accompanied by any emotion.

Why did she save Lingyin? Was it because she still had value, or... the pity of the strong?

Horikita Manabu laughed; it seemed he had entrusted his sister to a terrible devil.

This woman is dangerous; "dangerous" is an understatement to describe how terrifying Tianyin is.

"Did they see through me? I actually quite like that angry expression."

The next second, the anger on Tenon's face vanished as if it had never existed, and she adopted the exact same punching stance as Horikita Manabu.

Could it be that……

Horikita Manabu switched from defense to offense and threw a punch at Amane. Amane did not hesitate at all and collided with Horikita Manabu with the same move. The powerful force made Horikita Manabu take three or four steps back before he could steady himself, while Amane only took half a step back.

In order to prove his point, Horikita Manabu began to fight Amane.

For some reason, the power of the Heavenly Sound gradually weakened, and Horikita Manabu's first reaction upon noticing this was that something was amiss.

Tianyin was not only exhausted, but her breathing was also quite steady, as if she were playing a game of offense and defense with him.

Amane in this state says she's exhausted? What a joke! Even knowing Amane has ulterior motives, Horikita Manabu has to rise to the challenge. After his classmates fall one by one, he will be the last wall of the High School Student Council.

The two kept changing their moves. Horikita Manabu used all his means, whether it was knee strikes, elbow strikes, hand chop, or fist and foot techniques. He used every move that could be used to attack. In the end, Horikita Manabu had no other choice but to try to break through Amane's defense with brute force.

However, all of Horikita Manabu's moves were easily neutralized by Amane's impenetrable defense.

Left with no other choice, Horikita Manabu had to distance himself to recover his strength first, but at that moment Amane spoke up.

"Don't you have any stronger moves? You should have some powerful moves. Now that you're out of options, why don't you show me your trump card?"

Tianyin's demeanor was as relaxed as if she were discussing afternoon tea with him, but the content of her conversation left him feeling powerless.

Horikita Manabu has certainly learned powerful techniques, but they are not easy to use against Amane. Using them, whether effective or ineffective, would be a foolish decision.

If you fail to knock someone down, it will be difficult to organize an attack or defense after unleashing your full power in your special move. If you do manage to hit someone, the consequences will be even more severe...

Horikita Manabu sometimes hates his own personality, which is so prone to calculating gains and losses, but the harsh reality prevents him from giving his all to anything.

"I suggest you take a gamble, otherwise you'll only be defeated."

Kiryuin spoke up from the side.

From the moment she entered the competition venue, she observed Tianyin's every move as a spectator.

She tried to find Tianyin's weakness, but to her despair, Tianyin had not used her full strength so far.

She had witnessed Tianyin's close-range power strikes and hellish slams when she sparred with her.

Under the relentless onslaught of Amane, Kiryuin, the person directly involved, could do nothing but take the beating. The final Hell Throw left Kiryuin bedridden for a full three months before he could get out of bed.

It can be said that Tianyin completely overwhelmed her without giving her a chance to make a single move.

Therefore, she knew better than anyone else how terrifying Tianyin was.

Currently, Tenon is still learning the Ki-do techniques from Horikita with a learning attitude.

If she finds that Horikita Manabu has no moves worth learning, Amane will probably immediately choose to give up on this useless guy.

So Horikita Manabu may seem to have many options, but in reality, he only has one chance to attack left.

Instead of making sarcastic remarks, why don't you join forces with me and take a gamble? I only allowed you to stand here because I trust Sakayanagi-san. Are you planning to do nothing here?

While Horikita Manabu was intently watching Tenon, whose body appeared to be full of openings but whose defense was impeccable, he was also trying to persuade Kiryuin to join the battle.

"Although I'd love to agree, you're clearly not qualified. Our skill levels are not on the same level, and if we force ourselves to cooperate... be careful!"

Horikita Manabu blinked, and the next second he felt a piercing pain in his abdomen. When he opened his eyes again, Amane was already in front of him.

There was also a long drag mark on the ground...

At this moment, Horikita Gakuen gritted his teeth, grabbed Amane's arm, and threw her heavily to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw. Then, a smooth chokehold locked Amane's throat, and the rear naked choke was in place.

This was an unbeatable fighting technique. Horikita Manabu used all his strength to immobilize Amane, and even her expression changed drastically.

……

"presumptuous!"

Liang Tian, ​​who was watching from a distance, suddenly stood up.

Click.

The sound of the gun being cocked was so crisp and clear.

Fortunately, only Kunihiro Miyako and Masashi Hayasaka were around, otherwise they would definitely have been frightened by Ryata's behavior.

"Aya, calm down. You're not young anymore, how come you're not as composed as Hayasaka?"

Faced with Kuninori Miyako's reprimand, Ryata quickly lowered his head, but his gaze couldn't help but drift towards the competition field.

“I know you’re worried about Tianyin, but take a closer look at her expression. My eyesight isn’t good, so I can’t see her face, but I know that the child won’t be nervous or angry because she’s in danger.”

Kuninori Miyako leisurely took a sip of tea.

With his eyesight, he could only see from afar that a boy was choking Amane's neck. He couldn't see the specifics clearly, but based on Kuninori Miyako's many years of experience, it should be the rear naked choke, a deadly move that makes boxers tremble with fear.

Even professionals might not be able to escape this deadly move; Kuninori Miyako, who has watched some boxing matches, knows this principle.

However, he was not worried about Tianyin's safety. Putting aside the fact that the opponent was not a professional player, even if he were, he was confident that his granddaughter would win.

As for the reason...

"That's my granddaughter, Kunihiro Miyako! Even if it's a fight to the death, I can't possibly lose to a rookie who's barely even seen blood."

Chapter 461: The True Guardian

Kiryuin's eyes lit up when he saw Horikita Manabu's naked choke.

It has to be said that Horikita's execution of this move is textbook perfect, combining an over-the-shoulder throw with a chokehold and then a rear naked choke.

Even professional players are no better than this.

It's a bit of a shame... Hopefully, Horikita Manabu can withstand the blow.

Because she had used this move countless times, in the end, Amane even stood still and played along with her, then turned around and used the same move on her. Kiryuin, who was completely unable to break free from Amane's naked choke, could only be freed by agreeing to some unspeakable demands.

This is a privilege that Kiryuin receives only because he is a girl. As for Horikita Manabu, Kiryuin thinks they should call an ambulance right now.

When I turned around, I saw that Sakayanagi was on the phone with someone. I guess he probably realized that Horikita Manabu was the one in the most danger right now.

……

Liang Tian took out his reconnaissance equipment and looked at Tian Yin.

When someone is being tightly strangled, they should have a ferocious expression on their face and be struggling desperately.

But Tianyin smiled.

Even though her lips were twitching, you could vaguely tell that Tianyin was smiling, and she was smiling very happily.

"Well, it's been a long time since I've felt this way. Your move is even more lethal than Maple Flower. I'm starting to acknowledge you, Horikita Manabu."

Approved?

Horikita Manabu was not happy at all to receive Amane's approval. Under such circumstances, a person should have started to lose consciousness in just a few dozen seconds, but Amane held on for a full two minutes.

Could it be that Tianyin has practiced breath-holding and possesses lung capacity and endurance far exceeding that of ordinary people? Could it really be that he'll encounter something so absurd...?

"what?"

Horikita Manabu stared wide-eyed in shock at the unbelievable events unfolding before him.

Amane gripped Horikita Manabu's arms with both hands, trying to pull them apart.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense would laugh at Tianyin, saying it was utterly impossible, because it was an unsolvable, deadly move.

To everyone's astonishment, Horikita Manabu's arms were being slowly separated.

"Are you kidding me! Would something like this really happen in real life? You're a monster!"

Horikita's gums began to bleed from biting so hard, and he used the greatest strength he had ever used in his life to try and complete his finishing move again. He had just seen that Amane was indeed restricted by this move, and if he could hold on a little longer, Amane would run out of oxygen and...

The idea was nice, but the reality was quite cruel. The arm, which was originally without any gap, had been separated by Tianyin by about ten centimeters.

Amane was already able to breathe normally, so it could be said that Horikita Manabu had already failed at this point.

"That was close, I almost died!"

Amane gripped Horikita Manabu's arms with both hands, turning back to look at him with an incredibly innocent expression of 'lingering fear'.

Even Horikita Manabu was taken aback by her pure and unadulterated expression, but in that instant of distraction, Amane pressed her palm against Horikita Manabu's face.

After slowly and forcefully clamping down on Horikita Manabu's face with his fingers, he actually lifted Horikita Manabu up with one hand and slammed him heavily to the ground.

At this critical moment, three different figures came running from different directions.

Ayanokouji and the running Kiryuin exchanged a glance, both knowing what the other was thinking. After a running start, they simultaneously slammed their elbows into Amane's back.
