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

Much of the information about the Miyako family was modified before being disclosed to the Rin organization. For example, Hayasaka knew that Amane had undergone brutal close combat training, but he didn't know that the so-called brutal close combat training meant putting Amane in a cage with a brown bear in heat, and that Amane was able to walk out of the cage alive in the end.

Now that things have come to this, Hayasaka has no way out. She must use this opportunity to get close to Amane to prove her worth. Only in this way can Amane possibly recruit her and allow her to successfully switch sides.

Changing jobs is such a hassle.

Chapter 94: The Strongest Person

Amane spoke to Hayasaka in a tone that seemed no different from usual, but in reality, she was taking advantage of the moment when Hayasaka was unsure of her true intentions and hesitated to adjust her breathing.

People with pain disorders are actually in greater danger than ordinary people when they suffer injuries, because pain is actually a signal of the body's self-protection. Whether it is illness or injury, the body will transmit signals of 'discomfort' and 'pain' to the human brain.

When a normal person receives feedback of pain, they will immediately take various measures to treat and protect the injured area or try to suppress the pain. In general, a normal person can know in the first instance whether there is any damage to their body or other more serious conditions.

Patients with analgesia are different. Not feeling pain doesn't just mean they don't feel pain physically. It's like the brain has a signal blocker installed, blocking all signals related to pain. Even if internal organs are damaged, as long as there is no bleeding or death, patients with analgesia will not feel anything.

While this allows them to utilize the portion of human physical capabilities that are inherently limited, making them even stronger, it also makes them more susceptible to fatal attacks without them even realizing it, without any sense of 'danger'.

Even Amane judges whether something is 'dangerous' based on her past experience. The reason she knows what the expression of pain looks like is because she observes it from other people's faces. In fact, if Amane were to judge whether something is dangerous in front of something outside of her knowledge and experience, she would not be able to make a 'dangerous' or 'not dangerous' assessment no matter how much she came into contact with it, as she has no sense of pain.

This means that Tianyin often needs to use other methods to determine whether her physical condition is good.

Amane is now checking her breathing and heart rate to see if Hayasaka's two slaps had damaged her heart. However, Amane's breathing is very smooth and her heart rate is within the normal range.

After secretly conducting a simple assessment of her own body, Amane finally felt relieved. It seemed that Hayasaka's moves might be quite fierce, but unfortunately, they didn't cause any substantial damage to her.

"Hayasaka, what are you going to do next? Are you still going to play boxing with me? Don't let my appearance fool you, my fists are really powerful~"

Amane laughed and shouted "Hey!" and "Ha!" while punching the air twice in front of Hayasaka.

However, Hayasaka couldn't see any threat in those light, airy punches. It was more accurate to call them cute than threatening. At this moment, the first and second-year girls started taking pictures with their phones when they saw Amane making such cute movements and expressions. For a while, all that could be heard at the scene was a chorus of "kawaii" shouts.

Although Amane's pose looked very cute, Hayasaka knew that it was just Amane's disguise.

Hidden beneath that cute exterior lies a terrifying face.

"That's right!"

As if she had just thought of something, Tianyin snapped her fingers happily.

"I can do those two hits you gave me, Hayasaka!"

As she spoke, Amane, like a child eager to show the adults the results of her training, stretched out a hand and slowly reached out to touch Hayasaka, mimicking Hayasaka's earlier gesture.

Just as everyone was wondering why it looked like Amane was playing house with Hayasaka, someone suddenly used brute force to push aside the crowd blocking their view and then stood in the front row.

"Who is it? Cutting in line to watch a game? Didn't anyone teach you how to do that... Miyako? What's wrong with you?"

A girl who knew Jiang Yan looked at him with curiosity, wondering what had happened to make this powerful man look so nervous.

"Hayasaka, watch out! Keep your distance from Amane-nee!"

Yasuhiko's loud shouts distracted Hayasaka. Hayasaka, who was still wary of Amane, heard Yasuhiko shouting something to her from behind and subconsciously turned around to look.

It was precisely this glance that caused Hayasaka to miss the best opportunity to distance himself from Amane.

The next second, Amane gently placed her palm on Hayasaka's chest, and then suddenly exerted force!

Hayasaka, who had been looking back at Masahiko with a relaxed expression just a second ago, suddenly twisted his face and flew backward uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string, before crashing heavily to the ground.

thump!

Hayasaka was sent flying more than a meter away before crashing to the ground in a disheveled state.

Although Hayasaka wasn't sent flying very far, Amane exerted her power almost at point-blank range, and she attacked with her palm. Normally, being able to push someone down or knock them back a few steps would be considered a decent explosive fighter, but Amane managed to send Hayasaka flying as if she had added special effects, which is enough to prove how terrifying Amane's power is.

"Hayasaka-san..."

At this moment, both the first-year and second-year students were stunned by this sudden change. Just a second ago, the two seemed like best friends playing house, but how did Hayasaka end up coughing up blood after being hit by a palm strike?

They couldn't even imagine what a terrifying thing Hayasaka would have become if Amane hadn't struck with a palm but instead delivered a punch or a flying kick.

"Cough, cough... As expected of Miss Tianyin..."

Hayasaka coughed a few times and then forced an extremely ugly smile onto his face.

Just from those few coughs, she knew her internal organs were injured, but she didn't know how she got hurt.

Strictly speaking, Hayasaka and Amane belong to the same firearms school, and both are proficient in stealth, assassination, poisoning, and other techniques that can be classified as assassination.

Unlike Amane, Hayasaka's identity was already predetermined from the moment she was picked up by the previous 'Rin,' who was Ryota: she was a shadow.

There's no need for the Shadows to show their faces in public. Even if they do, they'll definitely be using firearms. Of course, to prevent close-range attacks, they've also learned some powerful fighting techniques. However, due to the time they've spent growing up, each of them is only proficient in one fighting style. After all, Rin understands the principle of not trying to do too much at once. Having one skill that you're good at for self-defense and protecting others is enough.

Hayasaka studied Jeet Kune Do, and his power and proficiency were comparable to some Jeet Kune Do masters. He could easily handle second- or third-rate assassins and bodyguards. Even if he encountered a first-rate assassin, Hayasaka was confident that he could hold out until his teammates arrived to provide support.

However, she lacked the most crucial element. Hayasaka had carried out many missions but had never had the opportunity to engage in close combat with anyone. Her battle with Amane was a sudden whim, a temporary change of tactics to fight the young lady.

Hayasaka's goal was clear: to demonstrate her strength, improve her standing in Amane's eyes, and successfully switch sides. Becoming the next head of the family's plaything or bodyguard would be easier than staying by Masahiko's side. After all, Amane was extremely indulgent towards the girls around her. If she could win Amane's heart, she might not have to work for the rest of her life or report to that Hayasaka family.

It can be said that it achieves multiple benefits at once, and the rewards far outweigh the risks.

Why did Hayasaka believe the rewards outweighed the risks? Because Hayasaka never intended to win from the start. According to Hayasaka's script, Amane should have fought her for a dozen rounds, then Hayasaka would say she was going to show her true strength, and then, while holding back some of her strength, she would fight Amane to a draw. Finally, just when the two were showing mutual respect, Hayasaka would choose to concede defeat on the grounds that a servant has no right to throw a punch at his master.

In this way, Tianyin would at least feel some guilt. As long as Tianyin changes her opinion of her and treats her as a girl, then the rest can almost be said to be a natural progression.

But Hayasaka never expected that the biggest flaw in this plan would be that she underestimated Amane's strength!

This kind of mistake would be understandable if it happened to someone else, since even Sakayanagi doesn't know what Amane is capable of.

However, this fatal mistake is unforgivable when it happens to Hayasaka, because Hayasaka has all the information on the fighting techniques that Amane has mastered.

As the saying goes, attitude determines success or failure. When Hayasaka saw the densely written list of Aikido, Taekwondo, Jeet Kune Do, Jiu-Jitsu, Bajiquan, Muay Thai, Capoeira, and even various styles of swordsmanship and archery, he subconsciously thought that it was impossible for someone to have mastered so many skills at such a young age. It was highly likely that he had just gilded his resume. Even if he was truly qualified, it was probably because of the Miyako family's reputation that Amane was allowed to pass. Therefore, Hayasaka did not take such important information seriously.

To be fair, it's not entirely Hayasaka's fault. After all, Hayasaka's idea wasn't wrong. No one else would believe that a teenage girl could be such a powerful figure.

Hayasaka witnessed the entire sports festival, but even so, she still didn't have a good understanding of this girl who was only a year older than her. When Hayasaka saw Amane dominating the sports festival and only a few people could hold their own against her, she wasn't particularly moved. In her eyes, she would feel ashamed if a trained assassin couldn't beat a few high school kids.

Unfortunately, the current results are enough to prove that it was not because those high school students were weak that they were defeated by Tianyin, but because Tianyin was simply an exceptionally powerful entity.

Underestimating his opponent and being careless led Hayasaka to encounter the biggest crisis of his life for the first time.

Hayasaka couldn't think of any other value in a bodyguard who wasn't even as strong as his master, except for using him to vent his desires.

Back to the competition venue.

Even though Hayasaka was beaten so badly by Amane that he began to doubt his life, his myriad thoughts were only fleeting.

Tianyin did not easily

"Carelessness will lead to death. It seems you're not very skilled, Hayasaka."

The smile on Amane's face vanished, and her purple eyes showed no pity for Hayasaka, whose lips still bore traces of blood. As the image of that gentle girl dissipated like a bubble, Amane revealed to everyone her unknown yet most authentic side.

Indifferent and cruel.

Perhaps this is the label that Tianyin should truly be remembered for.

Amane gave Hayasaka a thumbs-up, as if praising Hayasaka or... aiming at her?

"Hayasaka, run! Amane-nee is about to use her killing move!!!"

This time, as Masahiko spoke up to remind Hayasaka in advance, he also climbed over the temporary fence to enter the competition area. Masahiko had already seen that the gap between Hayasaka and Amane in close combat was too huge, and if he didn't participate...

"Please return to the viewing area!"

"Please wait a moment, that girl is no match for a second-year student, I just want to help her."

"Return to the spectator area! According to the competition rules, only the person who concedes defeat may leave the competition area, and no one may enter the competition area to assist them during the competition."

The instructors, dressed in black uniforms, began to surround him, trying to stop Jiang Yan's actions.

"But what if someone gets seriously injured or dies? Can the school bear that responsibility?"

"Compensation and an apology, plus finding a scapegoat, that's enough. As a student of Gaoyu, you shouldn't be saying such stupid things."

A tall woman placed her hand on her waist, blocking Jiang Yan's way.

Jiang Yan was shocked that the other party dared to say such inhumane words in front of so many people, but before he could refute, his pupils suddenly contracted.

A white-haired woman also came to the venue, seemingly intending to watch the game.

It can't be wrong.

That person is definitely...

Although Jiang Yan didn't think the other party would dare to do anything to him, he felt ashamed to face them when he thought about what his mother had done.

"I'll leave now."

Jiang Yan quickly flipped back into the spectator area, and before the white-haired woman could look in their direction, she swiftly slipped into the crowd.

"head?"

"No mistake, that's Kiryuin Marina."

"Does it need to be restrained?"

"Narita, I heard you're getting married soon?"

"Yes, Yumi's family has agreed to our relationship, and we plan to get engaged next month..."

"Congratulations, but now that you're getting engaged, shut your mouth. Don't forget why we're here. As long as Miss Miyako is safe and sound, don't do anything uncontrollable, understand?"

"……clear."

"That's right. You guys stay put and I'll go find the medical team. I didn't expect Rin to be getting worse and worse. With this level of skill, she's supposed to be protecting others. It's ridiculous."

……

The brief commotion outside did not attract the attention of the two inside. Hayasaka had learned his lesson this time and immediately turned and ran as soon as he heard Masahiko's command.

Tianyin stood still, seemingly without any intention of pursuing, but those in the front row noticed something was wrong with her.

Tianyin's fair and firm calves, because the legs of her sweatpants were pulled up by Tianyin, revealed several bluish lines that were rapidly emerging under her fair skin and were pulsating rhythmically.

The changes didn't stop there. Tianyin's exposed arms began to swell, and her arms, which originally looked somewhat fleshy, instantly became clearly defined with bulging veins.

This scene made Rokusuke Koenji, who was standing in the front row, unable to help but whistle.

"It seems the Miyako girl underwent training that most people can't even imagine. It's just a pity... fools won't believe in the efforts of the strong; they'll only attribute it all to talent, hehe..."

Koenji first turned and left with a cold laugh, but as the sound faded into the distance, it grew louder and louder.

Hayasaka had retreated to a distance of nearly thirty meters from Amane. Hayasaka was confident that she could withstand any attack Amane launched, and she only needed to withstand the first powerful attack to have a chance to counterattack.

To her astonishment, thirty meters was a distance that Tianyin could cross in the blink of an eye.

Amane appeared in front of Hayasaka in an instant, as if she had teleported, which startled Hayasaka so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Just then, Amane raised her hands, which had long, slender fingers and were almost perfect. Her hands suddenly transformed into claws, and she slapped Hayasaka while maintaining this posture.

call--!

Hayasaka instinctively dodged Amane's claw attack by sidestepping. Although he avoided the attack, the force of the claw scraped Hayasaka's face painfully.

The whooshing sound of air being cut was telling Hayasaka something.

Run!

Hayasaka knew that there was a huge gap between her strength and Amane's, but she could not run away immediately because even her proud agility and speed were no match for Amane.

Now, if Hayasaka dares to turn around, Amane will definitely take the opportunity to knock Hayasaka down. Therefore, Hayasaka must find a way to withstand Amane's attack and then create distance while Amane recovers her strength and adjusts her breathing. Only in this way can Hayasaka make the right choice.

With nowhere to run, Hayasaka gritted his teeth and elbowed Amane in the chest.

The attempt was to allow Tianyin to regain control of the attack rhythm when defending the gap in the middle, so that it could turn the tables and launch an attack.

However, Amane thought this move was so foolish. Even if the elbow strike hit her, she wouldn't feel any pain. But if she hit Hayasaka, Hayasaka probably wouldn't be able to get up. Exchanging injury for injury was Amane's fighting style, so she had nothing to be afraid of. So Amane simply gave up and slapped Hayasaka's neck with her claws again.

Hayasaka, who was charging at full speed, was prepared to change her moves and launch a counterattack at any time. However, even she did not expect that Amane would abandon her defense. This disrupted Hayasaka's plan and caused her, who had no fighting experience, to make a serious mistake. Hayasaka was stunned.

It was this one-second pause that allowed Amane to strike first, and Hayasaka, helpless, could only cross her arms in front of her neck to withstand Amane's powerful blow.

"Don't try to tough it out!"

When Masahiko saw Hayasaka in the crowd, intending to fight Amane head-on, he couldn't help but speak up to warn him, but by then it was too late.

There was a muffled 'thud' sound.

Hayasaka actually managed to block Amane's attack, but the expression on Hayasaka's face didn't look so relaxed.

But in any case, I managed to withstand the first attack.

Hayasaka, feigning bravado, threw a punch at Amane's face. In the instant Amane dodged, a beautiful high roundhouse kick came straight at Amane's head.

This sudden burst of power caused the instructors watching to gasp in surprise; this single move was enough to defeat most of the instructors present.

boom!
