You will surrender to me.

Chapter 156: Katase Shouno's Imagination

After giving instructions to Hisa, Naoto no longer needed to worry. If this woman couldn't even accomplish this task, then she would be really useless. You have to know that he had given her a lot of power, and she still couldn't get things done. Naoto fired her directly. Before firing her, Naoto didn't mind threatening her first, and then eating her up and keeping her for a while.

As for now, let's wait for her message. Naoto has told her to call him if she finds any clues.

This will make it easier for Naoto to take this clue to find Akane Nanao and overdraw some of the reward in advance.

"I feel like I can do it, it's purely based on reaction and strength, it doesn't seem like there's much technical content involved."

Naoto was bored as he watched Katase Shouno hit the baseball out of the field again and again. When it was his turn to catch the ball, the batter who came on as a substitute failed to hit the ball several times, perhaps because of the pressure from all the strength on his side or because he was too nervous, and he was almost struck out. However, the balls he hit were not strong enough, and were either caught or deflected. In short, he kept losing miserably.

Based on his body that has been strengthened several times (overall strengthening includes all senses), Naoto, who has superhuman vision, can clearly see the trajectory of the flying baseball. Even without using the power of the Bull Charm, the power of Naoto's strengthened body is enough to beat most people here.

The overall physical quality of this group of people is estimated to be the average value of adults, which is still outstanding. You know, even those in the third grade are only eighteen or nineteen years old, not to mention that most of them are in the first and second grades, basically sixteen or seventeen years old, not yet at the peak of their physical condition. Even after training, even the strongest people's physical values ​​are estimated to not exceed that of normal adult males, and it is impossible for them to compare with straight people with cheating devices.

"Hey, can you let me try?"

Naoto walked onto the court with a playful smile and asked everyone.

Everyone present looked at each other without saying a word. When Naoto came before, news of his powerful background had already spread throughout the baseball team, so no one wanted to provoke Naoto, who was like a bad guy. Finally, everyone looked at Katase Shouno. Katase Shouno, who was the strongest, was already secretly in charge of the baseball team, so everyone wanted to see what he said.

As everyone knows, the people on the island country are strong-minded. As long as you are strong enough, others will flatter you like a dog, but they are still strengthening themselves secretly, waiting for the day to devour their master, unless you have the confidence to keep beating these dogs. Of course, under normal circumstances, people of the same level all look "harmonious", but whether it is true or not is another matter.

As of now, Katase Shouno is showing signs of becoming a "dog owner", so we have to ask for his opinion before we decide what to do.

"Of course, classmate, if you are interested, you are welcome to come and experience it."

Katase Shouno said to Naoto with a sunny smile on his face, extending his hand, but Naoto keenly caught the slightest gloom in his expression. As a person who improves himself by absorbing certain "desires", Naoto is more sensitive to certain emotional desires.

In fact, Katase Shouno, who had been observing Nanao Akane out of the corner of his eye, watched the entire process of Naoto and Nanao Akane's interaction from beginning to end, including Nanao Akane's blushing face due to shame and anger, which was also seen by Katase Shouno.

And today, Akane Nanao has been resisting getting close to him, so Katase Shouno is wondering if Akane Nanao has found a new love. Then, from the scene he just saw, he thinks Naoto might be Akane Nanao's new favorite, so he wants to teach Naoto a lesson.

It just so happened that Akane Nanao was also watching here in the lounge. Katase Shouno wanted to let Akane Nanao know who the real strong one is. He, Katase Shouno, is no longer the same as before.

"So, do you want me to attack first or defend first?"

Naoto put his hands in his pockets and casually looked at the people around him. His nonchalant look made the people around him feel uncomfortable. This was a sport they really liked, and there was nothing wrong with Naoto's playful look, after all, Naoto looked thin and didn't look like he had a hobby in this area. It was probably just a spur of the moment idea, but it still made them unhappy.

"You can be the batter. I've played as a pitcher quite a few times."

Katase Shouno directed several people to get a set of protective clothing, then handed the bat in his hand to Naoto, and took a pitcher's glove from a member on the side and put it on. He walked to the pitcher's position, picked up a baseball and got ready.

"Is this a baseball bat? It doesn't seem very heavy. It should be a wooden bat. The school probably won't give us a metal bat. It would be troublesome if we used it to hit someone..."

Naoto muttered as he observed the baseball bat again and again, and his curious look made the people present couldn't help but curl their lips. Naoto's seemingly inexperienced appearance allowed these old men to teach him a lesson, and Naoto couldn't find a reason to refute them. The idea of ​​being able to reasonably teach Naoto, the person they couldn't afford to offend, a lesson made them all a little excited.

There's another groove? It looks like it's used to hit baseballs. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to control the bat and the baseball might hit it.

Naoto touched the groove on the baseball bat, then grasped the handle and swung it a few times to get a feel for it, and Katase Shouno didn't mind letting Naoto swing a few more times. This was not as easy as it seemed. He had practiced many times before he could barely hit the baseball, and in order to be able to control the direction of the ball and hit it back, he practiced for another half a year before he could barely master it. However, his physical condition had been unsatisfactory, resulting in him still being unable to beat anyone on the team even though he had some methods. The reason he could have a breakthrough now was because the secret medicine given to him by the coach stimulated his physical potential. Although it made him a little restless, he felt it was worth it.

Naoto doesn't look like he has any strength. Even if we don't talk about strength, his batting technique alone is enough to stump Naoto, Katase Shouno firmly believes.

"It seems to be okay, so let's do this. By the way, Katase-senpai, I just need to hit the baseball out of the way or make it so that you can't catch it, right?"

Naoto swung the baseball bat, getting familiar with the feeling, and asked Katase Shouno.

"Of course, since you don't understand much, as long as my hands and the others don't touch the baseball, you will score. You don't have to run the bases. You will be counted as a score directly, provided that the ball you hit complies with the rules."

Katase Shouno grabbed the baseball and shook it, indicating that he would take care of Naoto, a beginner. As long as Naoto could hit the baseball back, he would score. However, in order to prevent Naoto from hitting the ball crooked occasionally, he still added some conditions. However, he did not intend to let Naoto have an easy time. With the first ball, he planned to let the ball hit Naoto's face directly.

Naoto's face is indeed outstanding. Although it is not the type that will stun you at first sight, it is the type that becomes more and more beautiful the more you look at it. Therefore, Katase Shouno plans to damage Naoto's face "a little bit" first. This face might be what Nanao Akane likes.

"Is that so? Thank you very much for your care, Katase-senpai."

Naoto sensed the sudden increase in malice from Katase Shouno, and the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he was responding happily.

"Well, junior brother, take it!"

Katase Shouno raised his right hand back, gathered his strength, and then swung it violently, throwing the baseball at lightning speed, right towards Naoto's face. As a basic skill that he had mastered, the baseball thrown by Katase Shouno after great effort was fully influenced by his power. If he was not careful, Naoto might have to stay in the hospital for a few days. Of course, this was what Katase Shouno thought.

Huh? Towards my face?

Naoto's eyebrows raised slightly. With his dynamic vision, he could easily see the trajectory and direction of the baseball. His reaction ability was also enough to dodge the attack this time. However, Naoto was quite surprised. He originally thought that Katase Shouno's malicious intention was just to teach Naoto a lesson for being a layman and being more reckless. He didn't expect that he wanted to give Naoto a cruel blow this time.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have to stay in the hospital for a few days after being hit by such a ball from Katase Shouno, but Naoto, as a cheater, obviously would not do that. But don't think that Naoto has any good intentions. Originally, Naoto just wanted to hit the baseball farther to scare them. It seems that Naoto wants to teach them a lesson. Naoto is not a good person who repays kindness with evil. Naoto has always believed in repaying kindness and revenge.

Originally, Naoto had no intention of doing anything to Katase Shouno, but since Katase Shouno wanted to do this to Naoto, don't blame Naoto for being rude.

state!

Naoto adjusted his position slightly, it didn't matter within this fixed range, then he raised the bat backwards, roughly aiming it in the direction of Katase Shouno, and then quietly used the energy of the Bull Talisman. Naoto estimated the force and thought it wouldn't kill anyone, so the moment the baseball came in front of him, he swung the bat with all his strength.

A loud bang was heard at the intersection of the two, and the baseball flew back at a faster speed, but this time the direction of the baseball was not Katase Shouno's face, but his body.

Naoto had never had much experience with this thing, so with one hit he could only roughly adjust the direction, and it was mostly a matter of luck. All Naoto could guarantee was to hit the ball back.

Katase Shouno obviously didn't expect that Naoto could actually hit it back, so he stood there in shock, watching the baseball flying towards him at a rapid speed, and then hitting Katase Shouno's chest with Naoto's huge force, making him feel a rush of blood, his eyes went black, and he lost consciousness.

Chapter 157: I found some clues. Should it be okay to take a look at them in advance?

"Hey! Katase!"

When the others saw Katase Shouno suddenly fall to the ground and didn't get up for a long time, they immediately felt something was wrong and shouted twice. Seeing that Katase Shouno still didn't get up, they hurriedly took off their gloves and ran over to check on Katase Shouno's condition.

Even Nanao Akane, who was watching from the lounge, ran over worriedly. However, due to being in public and some feeling in her heart, she couldn't get too close. She just stood outside the other members and watched Katase Shouno.

“Haaaa… uh~ cough cough…”

After observation by several experienced second-year club members, they found that Katase Shouno was just knocked unconscious by the heavy blow, but had no other dangerous injuries, so they quickly pinched Katase Shouno's philtrum to make him wake up a little, and then planned to send him to the health room to check. After all, they were also afraid that something might happen to Katase Shouno.

Although most people don't want others to be more powerful than themselves, at least on campus, basically no one would harm other people's lives. So even though quite a few people were not really convinced by Katase Shouno, they still cooperated and sent him to the infirmary together.

As the 'culprit', Naoto stood there calmly, leaning on a baseball bat and watching everyone busying around. He didn't seem to be worried at all that Katase Shouno might be in danger of his life. This not only did not disgust the people around him, but the fans were so enthusiastic that they were even more afraid of Naoto.

In their opinion, the damage caused by Naoto might even kill Katase Shouno, but Naoto did not react at all. In this case, he is either a fool or he is fearless. So is Naoto a fool? Obviously not, then he can only be fearless. He is so sure that he can be fine even if he puts someone to death. How powerful must the power behind him be?

We dare not think about it, we dare not speak about it, and we dare not ask.

Therefore, few people wanted to come forward to condemn Naoto's behavior. Most people in the island country have been in small groups since childhood, so they are basically very sensitive to things like background and strength. Therefore, most people can quickly figure out the key points. The rest of the people didn't dare to speak or even start, so they had to shut up.

This resulted in Naoto being there leisurely watching a show, but no one came to condemn Naoto, instead choosing to ignore and stay away from him.

"Hmm? You want to talk to me alone?"

Naoto suddenly saw Nanao Akane pointing towards the sink at the other end of the room facing him, then turned and walked over. Her meaning was obvious, she wanted Naoto to come over as well, most likely wanting to talk to Naoto. As for what they were going to talk about, of course, it was about the guy who was knocked unconscious by Naoto just now.

"Hello……."

"My name is not 'Hello', my name is Naoto Koyasu."

Nanao Akane was about to speak with an unhappy look on her face when she was interrupted by Naoto.

Inhale—exhale—inhale—exhale—

"Kiyasu-san."

Akane Nanao took a few deep breaths before calling out Naoto's last name in an unpleasant tone. She paused, and when she saw that Naoto didn't interrupt her, she continued speaking.

"Why did you hit him so hard? You hit him so hard that Katase Shouno almost died!"

Akane Nanao felt that Naoto's behavior was probably intentional. It was probably because she was attached to Katase Shouno, and Naoto wanted to get her, so he deliberately hurt Katase Shouno.

"Tsk, that's really brainless."

Naoto sneered at Nanao Akane's angry expression, which made her even angrier. However, she was not really brainless. Since Naoto said so, he must have a plan. It was just that she was worried about Katase Shouno, so she impulsively went to Naoto to question him. So Nanao Akane just crossed her arms, looked at Naoto, and waited for his explanation.

"Haha, since Katase Shouno is hiding his strength, it means that he has not been able to fully display his strength. If you want to be strong, you must have a strong physique. A strong physique also means that the ability to withstand blows will not be too bad. That's why I tried to hit him with the baseball. As for the situation just now, it was obvious that Katase Shouno's strength and stamina suddenly increased a lot, and his physique is still the same as before."

Naoto stared at Nanao's round breasts, which looked even fuller and more prominent because she crossed her arms, and explained nonchalantly. The reason was very clear, and Nanao Akane nodded, agreeing with Naoto. However, she was still a little disgusted with Naoto's behavior of trying to detect Katase Shouno's true strength by hurting him.

"I know, but there are so many ways to test, why did you choose this one?"

Feeling Naoto's burning gaze focused on her two proud and fruitful fruits, a mixture of pride and shame surged in her heart, making her face flushed. Then, thinking that she would have to use this pair of proud and plump breasts to do that kind of thing with Naoto later, she didn't care anymore and just regarded it as early adaptation. However, she was still a little puzzled why Naoto chose this way to test Katase Shouno.

"You're the manager of the baseball club, you should know a little bit, but you were standing at the side, so it's normal that you couldn't see it. You have to know that the baseball that Katase Shouno threw was aimed at my face, and I still want this face. Since he wanted to hit my face, what's wrong with me teaching him a lesson?"

Naoto smiled disdainfully. He would not tolerate such behavior from Katase Shouno at all. For things like this, Naoto always retaliated on the spot. As for the intensity of the revenge, that depended on the situation.

Normally, in a situation like Katase Shouno's, Naoto would have to let him stay in bed for a month or two as a lesson, but this time, Katase would only be allowed to lie in bed for a few days at most. If Katase Shouno had something like this to increase his strength and stamina and speed up recovery, he might be able to come back normally tomorrow. It's a good thing that Akane Nanao is by his side, otherwise Katase Shouno's injuries would be even more serious.

Of course it’s not that Naoto was soft-hearted, but if the person who was running towards Akane Nanao was not there, then Naoto would have much less fun getting Akane Nanao, so Naoto was still much gentler this time.

As for the fact that he sometimes affects some innocent people, what does that have to do with Zhiren? Zhiren doesn't think he is a good person. It is normal to have double standards. Not using his abilities to bully men and women is already a restraint that Zhiren has imposed on himself. If it were someone else, he might even become a traitor.

"Throwing a ball at your face? Shouye would never do that. He is a very gentle and determined person. He would never do such a thing. Something must have happened to him."

Akane Nanao shook her head and spoke hesitantly, not believing that Katase Shouno would do this.

"I have no need to lie to you. Whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with our deal. It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Anyway, I have already found out part of the truth about Katase Shouno's body.

If this ball happened to any of the better second-year members of the number one team, they would probably just roll on the ground for a few minutes, but Katase Shouno fainted directly. Doesn't this speak volumes?

He probably improved himself through something. Tsk, is this for his baseball dream? But the price he paid seems to be becoming more restless. "

Naoto easily described the true condition of Katase Shouno's body to Nanao Akane, but Nanao Akane was still a little confused.

How did Naoto know that that force would only make the senior players of the first team roll on the ground, but since Naoto seemed so sure, he should have his own way to confirm it, so Nanao Akane simply stopped thinking about it. What worried her now was what Katase Shouno relied on to improve himself, and where that thing came from. If she went to investigate, she really didn't know where to start. If she asked directly, Katase Shouno would probably not tell her. For now, she could only rely on Naoto.

Then, Nanao Akane thought that if Naoto finished his investigation, she would use her pair of round and big breasts to help Naoto do that kind of thing. Her face felt like it was burning. However, the size of that thing is often proportional to the body size. With Naoto's appearance, it is estimated that it is not very big. And I heard that it won't last long, only a few minutes, so she just needs to endure it.

Akane Nanao was still thinking about how to deal with Naoto in the future, but she didn't realize that she had already believed in everything Naoto said and didn't even doubt some of the strange contents.

Only Naoto knows. What he said just now seems to make sense at first glance. In fact, how could he know the approximate extent of his strength? Naoto just made sure that his strength would not kill anyone. As for how long Katase Shouye would be lying down, he didn't know. However, those speculations were true. Katase Shouye might have really been provided with something to strengthen himself, but it was basically a temporary blessing. After all, how many people can permanently strengthen their bodies? Naoto still relied on cheating to get to his current strength. What did Katase Shouye rely on?

"Well, Nanao-senpai, we have made some initial progress. Can you give me some advance payment?"

There was a hint of amusement in Naoto's smile, and his tone sounded quite impatient.

"What overdraft reward? Didn't you say I would help you only after you complete this commission? Now I have a few clues at most. Do you think I can help you hold on to them first and then take them back?!"

Akane Nanao took two steps back, fearing that Naoto would pounce on her immediately.

"Anyway, I'll be able to play with it a bit when I get caught, so what's wrong with letting me practice kneading the dough now?"

Naoto spread his hands and said something with an innocent look on his face that seemed completely shameless to Akane Nanao.

"This this……"

Nanao Akane wanted to refuse sternly, but a thought suddenly popped up in her mind, which made her agree with Naoto's words. The hand that was protecting her chest loosened for some reason...

Chapter 158 I've Seen Through You! Teacher Shaohuo!

"That's right. In the game, each mission has its own rewards, so it's reasonable for me to get some rewards if I find some clues, right... Hmm? Someone's coming."

Naoto spread his hands and approached Nanao Akane as he spoke. Nanao Akane also cooperated and stood there, waiting for Naoto to collect his "reward". At this moment, a person suddenly appeared in the corner of Naoto's eye, so Naoto stopped and turned his head to look.

"Hello, Nanao-san, Koyasu-san. I want to talk to you about what happened with Katase Shouno just now."

Teacher Hatsufuji Akari had a gentle smile on her face, and her words seemed to mean that she wanted to know more about Katase Shouno from the two of them. After all, one of them was the "culprit" who caused Katase Shouno's current situation, and the other was the manager of the baseball club and was also responsible for these matters.

"Hatsudo-sensei?"

Naoto narrowed his eyes slightly. He could not see anything unusual in Hatsufuji Mikari's expression, but it was very likely that she had heard the conversation between Naoto and Nanao Akane just now, but did not show it, which might be a bit troublesome.

Hatsudoh Mikari and Hatsudoh Shizuku, a mother and daughter, are both "prey" that Naoto has already listed on his list. If Hatsudoh Mikari becomes very defensive against Naoto because of this, it would be a bit difficult to deal with. Even if Hatsudoh Mikari, as Hatsudoh Shizuku's mother, asks her to keep a distance from him, Naoto would have no good solution.

"Ah? Hello, Coach Hatsutō. Just now, just now I was just talking to Koan-san... um..."

Nanao Akane seemed to be suddenly awakened from a dream, and tried frantically to explain what had just happened with Naoto. Her words were a little incoherent, making it difficult for Naoto and teacher Hatsufuji Meiri to respond.

Naoto slapped his forehead speechlessly, feeling that most of the nutrients in Nanao Akane's brain might have flowed into that pair of plump breasts. Teacher Hattori didn't mention it just now. Maybe she didn't hear it, or maybe she didn't want to pursue what happened just now. But no matter which one it was, it was the best choice not to bring it up. As a result, this silly girl still wanted to explain. Isn't this "self-explosion"?

Hattori Akari didn't know how to respond for a moment. Judging from their previous interactions, Nanao Akane's ability to "read the air" should still be online. Why did she go offline now?

"I don't know what you said, and it has nothing to do with me as a coach. I just want to understand what happened with Katase Shouno just now. You can date or do anything else. I personally don't have such strict requirements for you. It's puberty, I know."

Teacher Hatsufuji Meiri shook her head and continued what Nanao Akane said with a very gentle tone, making the two feel that she was an extremely understanding and gentle teacher.

Of course, Naoto thinks that this is just the impression that Hattō Meiri wants to give to others. Maybe it is actually the case. Maybe it is very different. Who knows? The details probably depend on how Hattō Shizuku reacts to Naoto. If she really keeps away, maybe it is just as Naoto expected, and she heard part or even most of the conversation, but just pretended to be like this.

"Well, I see."

Nanao Akane responded obediently. She had come to her senses now and realized how stupid her words were. She wanted to go back and slap herself. Why did she suddenly panic and speak without thinking? Most likely, Naoto had a huge impact on her mentality, which made her suddenly become stupid.

"Then what do you want to know, Mr. Hattori? I will tell you everything I know."

Naoto, on the other hand, looked nonchalant. He was already a graduated adult before he traveled through time, so of course he wasn't as afraid of teachers as he was when he was a student. Although he is a student again now, his cheats and his own background have made it seem like he has gilded himself to go to school here, so Naoto is not worried about any problems at all.

However, Naoto did not despise the teacher. After all, this Hattori teacher would really train with her students and would demonstrate the standard movements over and over again. He had observed it when he went to see the track and field club not long ago. Although it was not clear why she used that peculiar bracelet, her teaching attitude was undoubtedly very respectable. It was just that Naoto was used to being lazy and would not usually get excited about things that he was not interested in. Moreover, it was quite uncomfortable to have a good thing interrupted.

"I just asked the other students. I only wanted to find you to find the person involved. Nanao is the manager of the baseball club after all, so he has to step forward when something like this happens in the club. Koyasu is a 'suspect', so he also needs to do something. Although it was an accident, I still need you to assist. In addition, Koyasu may have to pay for some medical expenses. No matter what, it was Koyasu who injured Katase."
