Is this okay?

Yukino Yukinoshita, dressed in her school uniform, appeared. Seeing how angry Hiratsuka Shizuka was, she immediately understood what was going on.

"Teacher, do you need any help?" Yukino looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with a serious expression.

"Ah, it's Yukino. Never mind, it's not necessary." Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed upon seeing Yukino, indicating that she didn't care.

"Is it another case of a high-level user bullying a low-level user?" Yukino asked curiously.

"No, it's just those transfer students eating hot pot upstairs."

"Huh? Teacher, are you sure I didn't hear that right?" Yukino was a little confused when she heard this.

"No, we just ate hot pot."

"This is really..."

Yukino was at a loss for words. She had thought something terrible had happened, but it turned out to be just hot pot.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, however, didn't seem to care much, and let out a somewhat wistful sigh.

Then her expression turned serious, and she looked at Yukino intently.

How have things been lately?

Upon hearing this, Yukino frowned and said seriously, "It's been much quieter lately, but what happened a few days ago has already explained a lot. The group of non-ability users has started hunting low-ability users... The long-term oppression of non-ability users by ability users has completely backfired."

"This is... a huge problem." Upon hearing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but walk to an empty window, take out a cigarette, and light it.

"..." Yukino didn't say anything when she saw Hiratsuka Shizuka like this; such a thing was bound to happen sooner or later.

The students' superpowers differ in strength, and this is bound to happen.

Although we tried our best to stop it, we were ultimately unable to contain it.

After all, Academy City is too big and has too many people.

"Things are probably not going to be so quiet from now on."

For a moment, both of them felt helpless and speechless.

……

In a corner of the school, the sound of a fist hitting a face could be heard.

boom!

A student with short black hair and dead fish eyes fell to the ground, his mouth was cut and blood was flowing out.

"Hey, Hachiman, didn't I say I needed to borrow some money? What's wrong with you? Why don't you even have 10,000 yen? Are you looking down on me?!"

Across from Hachiman, a thug with a menacing look stared at him. His name was Fujiwara.

"..."

Hachiman, lying on the ground, was filled with rage. He knew that he absolutely could not be weak in this situation, or he would be exploited endlessly.

So he resisted, but unfortunately... the other party was an ability user.

The Level 2 physical enhancement user's resistance was utterly futile, only further enraging the opponent.

Hachiman was well aware of his situation and knew how to handle it, but his miscalculation of his own power led to the current predicament.

Superpowers are truly humanity's greatest evil.

He stared blankly at the wisteria before him, saying nothing.

I'm being watched; no matter what I do, I'll be targeted.

It's not because of my own reasons, but because that's just how bad people are. They set their sights on someone for no reason at all; they just suddenly get interested and then they start targeting them.

This is also the main reason why most people are bullied.

"Hachiman, if we don't have 100,000 by tomorrow, it won't be this simple!" Wisteria said menacingly.

"..."

Hikigaya lay on the ground, speechless as he looked at Wisteria, who glanced at him unhappily and then turned and left.

After the wisteria left, Hachiman staggered to his feet, sighing as he looked in the direction the wisteria had gone.

The other party showed no sign of letting him go, raising the price from 10,000 to 100,000, which was beyond the reach of an ordinary student. Even if they could afford it, they would continue to be exploited.

No, we can't just sit back and wait for death.

what should I do?

Hachiman's face immediately turned serious. He was no coward; he wanted to analyze the safest and most perfect plan.

……

On the other side, Leng Mo and his three companions, having finished lunch, were resting in the classroom.

Tatsumi was very happy about going to school, while Leng Mo and the other two were less interested and even a little unwilling.

"I'm not reconciled! Why doesn't anyone bully me!"

"..." Jinmu looked at Leng Mo, who was so angry that he was about to faint, speechless.

Kazuma, however, pinched his chin, looking incredulous: "I find it incredible too. You know, I used to be the one who got bullied at school, but now that I'm here, nobody bullies me. That's really strange."

"So, what's the reason? There must be a reason."

"do not know……"

"Even if you look at me like this, I won't know."

For a moment, everyone was speechless, and the classroom was filled with an atmosphere of giving up.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Hachiman walked past in the corridor with half of his face swollen, and the wound on his face was seen by Leng Mo and the other three.

Suddenly, Leng Mo sat up in shock, staring wide-eyed at Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Isn't it already here?!"

"What?"

"Hikigaya Hachiman!"

"Ok?"

In the blink of an eye, Leng Mo rushed to the main gate and shouted towards Hachiman Hikigaya:

"Hey, kid! I need your help!"

Hachiman wanted to leave after hearing this, but found that Leng Mo quickly blocked his way.

"You want me to run errands? Sorry, I won't agree." Hachiman stared at Leng Mo expressionlessly. He absolutely couldn't back down now, or things would never end.

"No, no, no, you look like you've been bullied. Can you tell me who bullied you? I like it when people bully me!"

"?"

Is this a fool?

Hachiman was completely bewildered upon hearing this; he had never seen anyone actually beg to be bullied.

There is a conspiracy!

Thinking of this, he seemed to have grasped some blind spot, and his eyes became sharp.

"Sorry, I refuse."

Although we don't know Leng Mo's situation, regardless of whether he's an idiot or not, we can't afford to add any more destabilizing factors.

"Oh... can't you make an exception?"

Leng Mo was a little unwilling, as he had finally seen such an opportunity.

"No, goodbye."

Without any hesitation, Hachiman walked past Leng Mo and left quickly; he still needed to go to the infirmary to check on his condition.

However, he did not notice that Leng Mo's face was now showing a friendly, comical expression, because he had been targeted.

Chapter 341 You bunch of clever little devils are something else!

Hachiman Hikigaya didn't find anything wrong with Leng Mo's sudden appearance, or rather, all his thoughts were elsewhere, focused on how to resolve the situation afterward.

From the beginning, he was very confident that he would not encounter such a thing. With his own intelligence, he could almost avoid such a thing. It's just a pity... he met a complete idiot.

He's the kind of stubborn guy who won't notice even when pressure is applied through words or relationships; he only cares about one thing: getting it done.

Perhaps it was the superpowers that gave him confidence, or perhaps it was the superpowers that made him fearless.

So Hikigaya is helpless in this situation. Anyone with a little intelligence can understand what he means, but he just happened to run into a complete idiot.

"Hey……"

Hachiman walked down the corridor, speechless, even sighing.

At that moment, Yukino, who had just finished her conversation with Hiratsuka Shizuka and parted ways at the end of the corridor, noticed Hachiman and frowned. Especially when she saw the marks on his face that indicated he had been beaten, she couldn't help but ask:

"Do you need help?"

"Ah? Oh, Yukinoshita. It's nothing, I just tripped and fell."

Hachiman explained to Yukinoshita earnestly that he wouldn't ask Gakushita for help, his face full of certainty.

“Alright.” Yukinoshita glanced at Hachiman but didn’t say anything, though she already had an idea in mind.

It looks like he was beaten up. I'll keep an eye on him for the next few days; he's my only member.

Hachiman didn't say anything, just nodded and walked towards the classroom.

He began to consider the next steps. Although asking Yukinoshita for help was a good idea, the consequences would be unpleasant.

You should know that the aloof Yukino has never stood up for anyone before. If I ask her to come and help, the whole school will probably know about it.

This is bad for her reputation.

So what's going on here... how did I end up running into this complete idiot...?

Hachiman suddenly felt a headache coming on. He had never expected to encounter such a clueless person, who was completely at a loss.

If only someone could attract the hatred...

He felt speechless and sighed dejectedly, but he could only take it one step at a time.

……

During the afternoon classes, on the street.

Accelerator walked down the street, feeling melancholy. He wanted to clear his head, buy some coffee, eat some fried chicken, and comfort his withdrawn mood.

But just then, as he entered a sparsely populated area, he found several people blocking his way.

The newcomer was holding an iron pipe and staring at him with a hostile expression, which made him frown.

"Accelerator, I heard you got defeated. Turns out you're not so strong after all."

"Heh, you bunch of lowlifes, want to give it a try?"

Accelerator instantly understood the other party's meaning: they wanted to challenge him.

"Go! If we defeat this guy, we'll be number two!!"

In an instant, the people around rushed forward and swung the iron pipes in their hands at OneDrive.

"Ha! How brave you are, you lowlifes!"

Upon seeing how brave the other party was, Accelerator immediately showed a friendly smile, laughing like a child.

Then, without moving an inch, he beat everyone until they were bleeding profusely, and even when the other side unleashed superpowers, it was only a matter of a moment.

There is no suspense.

The battle came quickly and ended quickly. With the last person falling to the ground, Accelerator looked disdainfully at the people lying on the ground, their blood flowing everywhere.

"Tch, you scoundrel. I was defeated, not because I've become weaker, you idiot."

Accelerator cursed, put his hands in his pockets, and left without looking back.

After Accelerator left, the person on the ground slowly stood up, and at the same time, a man walked out from the side and smiled when he saw the injured person.

"How stupid! Who gave you the courage to challenge Accelerator? Even though he's no longer number one, that doesn't mean he's weak. Besides, rankings aren't always accurate; they're based on the effectiveness of abilities."

The man smiled confidently and took out his phone to look at the rankings.

NO.1, Leng Mo.
