Does gravity make me stronger?

He fell to the ground again.

"???"

I couldn't see it clearly from the angle just now, but this time, Jun Otani's friends saw it too; he really did fall flat on his face.

"puff..."

"Don't laugh!"

"Ootani-kun, I understand how you feel, but..."

"You don't understand anything, you damned minotaur."

[No way, someone actually admitted on the spot that they were scammed? Or was it a loan scam? I'm dying of laughter, hahaha]

Looking at the farce before him and Jun Otani's disheveled appearance, Hachiman actually felt a little guilty.

However, he also realized once again that Jun Otani was not the person he used to be, and that the person he used to be would never have done what Jun Otani was doing now.

Fortunately, he was calm enough in junior high school that he didn't turn into a clown, no, he didn't turn from a clown into a mad dog.

I am still a bit more mature than him.

I feel a little relieved...

"Mr. Tadokoro, may I ask you a question?"

The voices coming from the second floor suddenly caught the attention of everyone on the first floor.

"Hey, the teacher's here. Let's just forget about it."

Haneoka Academy is quite strict about early dating; it's a long-standing tradition of the academy. As for why an all-girls academy would still crack down on early dating...

Don't ask, this is a slide you absolutely cannot touch.

"Damn it, Hachiman, I despise you!"

Jun Otani coughed for a long time, and finally managed to squeeze out a little saliva and spit it on the ground.

To be honest, Junya Otani understood that Hachiman was probably not targeting him, but the few times he had fallen were not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

Hachiman always appeared calm and collected, which made him seem like a hot-tempered old man who couldn't control his temper at any moment.

He simply couldn't swallow this insult if he didn't vent his frustration verbally at this point.

Therefore, he did something impulsive.

After Hachiman turned his back and relaxed his guard, he silently clenched his fist, then gradually increased his speed and rushed forward.

Chapter 46 046 Go deceive, go ambush! (4K)

Rewind a little bit, about a few minutes earlier, Toyokawa Shoko walked into the teachers' office alone, and then, making up a reason, brought out the homeroom teacher of Class B.

"I wonder how things are at the scene..."

On her way back to the second floor, Toyokawa Shoko thought to herself.

Although I feel bad for the guy who confessed his feelings, it's best to reject him directly since he's not interested.

On the contrary, it was those who said ambiguous things and did not completely reject the boy, leaving him some room for maneuver, that Toyokawa Shoko disliked.

If you're going to do something, you have to see it through to the end; that's her style of doing things.

But why did Hikigaya ask him to bring the teacher over?

Toyokawa Shoko didn't understand, but he knew that if he did as Hachiman suggested, there shouldn't be any problems.

She trusted him completely.

He trusted her to a degree that even he himself could hardly imagine. If Hachiman asked her to postpone the work of forming a band, she might stop as long as the reason was appropriate.

why?

Shoko Toyokawa organized it herself, probably because of the suspension bridge effect.

Last Monday, Hachiman not only helped him drive away several thugs who were trying to collect debts, but also became the object of her affections.

Simply put, Hachiman is somewhat like the ideal man in her heart.

For the younger woman, he was a prince sent by heaven to help her.

However, Toyokawa Shoko did not see herself as a princess who did nothing but wait to be rescued; on the contrary, she hoped to help Hachiman.

She remembered that Hachiman had said he wanted to become a stay-at-home husband in the future. So, if she earned enough money, would she be able to fulfill Hachiman's wish?

"Toyokawa, why is your face so red?"

Tadokoro Hiroichi's sudden remark caused Toyokawa Shoko to freeze in place like a startled cat.

"...Um, it's a bit hot."

"That's true, after all, it's Tokyo Hot."

Toyokawa Shoko didn't care about the lewd jokes told by the young male teacher; she just wanted to get back as soon as possible.

Finally, we reached the stairs on the second floor of the teaching building.

Below was the confession scene. Toyokawa Shoko first looked down and saw that Hachiman had already come down to the first floor and was preparing to leave with Ochako Hana, and then she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The two were having a brief conversation upstairs when Koichi Tadokoro was drawn to the commotion below and suddenly looked down.

Toyokawa Shoko's heart jumped into her throat.

Although Hachiman told her to speak louder, it's never a good thing if the teacher sees you confessing your feelings.

"Well, that's all I wanted to ask you, Professor Tadokoro. Shall we head back now?"

"Oh...wait a minute, is there something interesting happening downstairs?"

Because Koichi Tadokoro's teaching style isn't particularly serious, and his current girlfriend is someone he's been dating since high school, he doesn't care too much about things like confessing his feelings in high school.

On the contrary, it was somewhat like watching amusement.

He saw several students gathered together on the first floor talking about something, and he immediately recognized what had just happened there.

However, what he couldn't understand was how Hachiman had barged into someone else's confession scene.

What's wrong with you, kid? You don't have a thing for minotaurs, do you?

Fortunately, there was no commotion below. Although a boy inexplicably tripped and fell a few times, he also noticed that Hachiman was already leading the girl he had been confessed to away from the scene.

Koichi Tadokoro remained in a wait-and-see attitude; now that the matter below was resolved, they should leave.

Hmm, not bad. It's great to be able to come out and explain a problem while also having some fun.

As she was thinking this, she caught a glimpse of something astonishing out of the corner of her eye:

After Hachiman turned his back, the boy from Class C suddenly strode forward, his eyes wide open, and threw a powerful punch at Hachiman.

...

The sound from the second floor carried clearly to the first floor.

Great! Toyokawa Shoko has arrived with their homeroom teacher. That should resolve the matter, and Otani Jun should stop bothering Ochako Hana.

Hachiman thought to himself.

Although his relationship with the boys in his class might be a little awkward after today, it's not a big problem. They weren't familiar with each other to begin with, so at worst they'd just go back to being strangers.

"I'm sorry," Ochako Hana whispered.

'It's my fault for dragging Hachiman into this; he'll probably be resented by the boys in the class from now on.'

Ochako Hana may seem a bit slow-witted, but she is quite perceptive when it comes to interpersonal relationships. She quickly realized what would happen in the class after Hachiman stood up for her.

'I'll bring more food for Hachiman next time... and have Toyokawa give it to him.'

Are you still shipping couples at a time like this?

"It's nothing, don't worry about it."

At that very moment, Hachiman suddenly felt that the thoughts of those around him had been cut off.

[Ability Enhancement Period Expired]

[Read thoughts, unlimited use -> 1 use/day, everyone around -> specified person]

[Illusory Flower in a Water, 3 times/day -> 1 use/day, 100 people/use -> 1 designated person/use]

His abilities have been completely reduced!

Yes, you can reduce the stats and improve the equipment.

What?! Even the equipment has been nerfed!

Damn it, I had a falling out with the designer!

However, Hachiman wanted to know what was going on upstairs. Tadokoro Koichi probably didn't see what was happening downstairs, right?

Don't let him get arrested for dating too early; that would be a huge injustice.

Unfortunately, because his abilities were completely nerfed, his mind control system malfunctioned.

'I didn't expect things to turn out this way. Did Hachiman know what was going to happen, which is why he asked me to call Mr. Tadokoro?'

'I can't believe I thought of so many things, and that Hachiman guy from earlier was kind of handsome...'

These are the sentiments of Toyokawa Shoko.

You're even using the wrong targeted skill! Can't you do this, system?!

This one is mine.

However, to Hachiman's surprise, Toyokawa Shoko's sudden outburst of inner thoughts helped him a great deal.

"Hachiman, watch out!"

Since Hachiman was facing away from the other person, he couldn't possibly have noticed Otani Jun's last move.

Meanwhile, Koichi Tadokoro wanted to warn them, but it was too late; Jun Otani had already reached Hachiman's back.

But at that moment, Otani Jun seemed to have aimed at the wrong target, and suddenly changed the direction of his force, smashing it against the wall next to him.

It is common knowledge that when a person is extremely angry, a single sliding tackle can kill a tiger.

Jun Otani was furious at the moment, and in his imagination, he was almost seeing himself as Saitama.

As for Hachiman?

He's just a demon-level monster.

Then, his full-force punch, which could be described as a Nascent Soul stage expert's, was easily neutralized by the School Wall of a Celestial stage powerhouse, and at the same time, 100% of the damage was reflected back.

"Crack!"

This wasn't the sound of a wall being smashed, but the sound of bones breaking.

Immediately afterwards, a heart-wrenching wail was heard.

"my hand!"

"Hey, Chun!"

The group of boys who had come to watch the spectacle but ended up seeing their brother become a clown quickly surrounded Otani Jun to check on his injuries.

To be honest, they probably knew what was going to happen when Jun Ohtani charged in.

This kid is going to seek revenge on Hachiman.

While it's unclear whether the word "revenge" is appropriate for the current situation, it's certain that Jun Otani harbors intense hostility towards Hachiman.

Just now, that hostility has turned into action.

But to their surprise, Jun Otani didn't ambush Hikigaya; instead, he punched the wall.

Holy crap, what are you doing on the Great Firewall?

It's one thing to rub the wall, but to rub it so hard?

They all heard cracking sounds; without a doubt, Jun Otani had cracked—physically speaking.

Toyokawa Shoko on the second floor was seeing someone...exposing themselves against the wall for the first time.

Furthermore, Otani Jun clearly intended to hit Hachiman just now; if he hadn't hit the wall, Hachiman might have been the one injured.

Thinking of this, Toyokawa Shoko rushed downstairs anxiously.

"Hachiman, are you alright?"
