Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Shizuka-chan is a Peerless Master? Shizuka-chan Has an Epiphany
Haruno Yukinoshita looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka strangely.
The meaning in her eyes was obvious:
[Shizuka-chan, did I hear wrong? Or are you really a peerless master?]
Shizuka Hiratsuka blushed slightly.
She returned a look:
[Don't you know me? What kind of peerless master am I? Don't ask—who knows what's going on with this kid? I was just talking casually before, but he actually mastered it. Now he actually believes I know the Six Styles. It's absurd.]
Haruno Yukinoshita rolled her eyes and gave another look:
[So what are you planning to do? Come clean.]
Shizuka Hiratsuka broke out in a cold sweat and showed a pleading look:
[Did you see that wall? Do you think if I come clean, that kid might use his wall-smashing fist on me?]
[Try it? I think Kouhai-kun respects you quite a bit.] Haruno Yukinoshita gave an encouraging look.
[Try your ass. If I really try, it'll be "try and die."]
Shizuka Hiratsuka was exasperated and too lazy to deal with Haruno Yukinoshita, who was just watching the excitement.
She was now a bit panicked, not knowing how to respond to Haru.
If she really had to teach the Six Styles, she didn't have that ability.
And the other people in the classroom, hearing Haru's words, were all filled with doubt and suspicion.
Could Shizuka-chan really be some kind of peerless master?
"This isn't scientific."
Rizu Ogata, usually rational, was now mentally confused. With her perfect biology grades, she really couldn't use her knowledge to explain Haru's abnormal strength.
This simply wasn't power that humans could use.
Darwin's coffin lid couldn't even hold him down anymore.
"Could it be that martial arts magic and such really exist in the world? Is Shizuka-sensei really a peerless master?"
Rizu Ogata couldn't help but look at Shizuka Hiratsuka. Perhaps this was the only explanation.
After all, Haru was such a gentle and kind good person—how could he possibly deceive her?
Without a doubt, Rizu Ogata's trust in Haru was extremely high. She didn't doubt Haru's words, but rationally, she somewhat doubted the existence of supernatural martial arts like those in movies and novels.
Fumino Furuhashi was in a similar situation to Rizu Ogata.
She also looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka with the expression of viewing a worldly expert.
She hadn't expected that there was actually a sweeping monk-like existence from movies in her school.
Indeed, movie plots were all derived from reality.
Perhaps there really were such incredible magical people in the world—she just hadn't discovered them yet.
The naturally romantic Fumino Furuhashi was even more accepting of Haru's words than Rikka Takanashi.
The anger on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by an expression of disbelief as she stared intently in Haru's direction.
The sound of cracking gradually echoed through the air.
At this moment, everyone who had recovered from their shock opened their eyes one by one.
What followed was a collective freeze of beautiful gazes.
Haruno Yukinoshita, who had been preparing to watch the show with her trademark elegant smile that remained composed even if the sky were to fall, saw that expression disappear completely.
Her amber-colored eyes were filled with boundless shock and amazement.
Yukino Yukinoshita, Megumi Kato, and the others, each with their own charming and cute faces, were now frozen in place, their mouths agape in shock.
Everyone could see what had happened at the spot where Haru's fist had struck.
The white-painted wall, with a cracking sound like glass suddenly struck by a heavy object, instantly developed countless spider-web cracks.
Then, the cracks spread at an alarming speed.
In an instant, they covered a large area.
With a thunderous roar, everyone watched as the originally smooth and pristine flat wall collapsed completely, revealing the twisted steel rebar within the concrete and the Service Club classroom on the other side.
Scattered dust immediately spread throughout both classrooms, causing everyone inside to cough uncontrollably.
Only Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was standing farthest away, remained unaffected.
At this moment, Haru slowly lowered his fist and turned around to look at Shizuka Hiratsuka.
He smiled slightly: "Shizuka, what were you saying just now?"
Looking at Haru's harmonious and pleasant smile, Shizuka Hiratsuka swallowed hard.
Without thinking, she immediately showed a gentle smile unlike any she had ever displayed before: "I didn't say anything."
Haru was very satisfied.
Then he looked toward the current losers, the Yukinoshita sisters.
"Yukinoshita-san, Haruno-san."
Haru smiled slightly, "It looks like I won."
Haruno Yukinoshita instinctively looked toward Haru.
Even now, the shock in her heart had not subsided.
Looking at this boy who was the same age as her sister, she found it hard to imagine that such a young body could contain such terrifying power.
Rather than being shocked, losing the bet didn't matter as much to her.
However, Haruno Yukinoshita's natural talent for staying composed was still there.
Soon, she managed to hide the shock in her heart.
She looked at Haru with half-genuine, half-fake admiration: "Kohai-kun, you really surprised your senpai this time. To actually be able to do something so incredible."
"Kohai-kun couldn't be Superman, could you? Even a world-class boxer couldn't possibly have such terrifying power."
She deliberately acted shocked while staring at Haru's hands, even boldly reaching out to touch them.
She wanted to know if this guy's fists were made of steel.
Could this guy actually be a robot sent by Skynet?
Compared to her sister who could still maintain her composure, Yukino Yukinoshita could no longer stay calm.
She was also deeply shocked by Haru's power.
But after the shock, she realized what kind of situation she would face.
Without a doubt, she had lost this bet.
And the consequence of losing the bet was that from now on, she would have to let Haru use those perverted X-ray eyes on her a hundred times.
Just thinking about that scenario made Yukino Yukinoshita panic internally.
But she knew she couldn't panic, otherwise that guy Haru would definitely push his luck.
She forced herself to maintain a calm expression on her face, but her evasive gaze and slightly trembling delicate body made her disguise completely ineffective.
Haru's keen observation skills naturally caught that Yukino Yukinoshita was panicking.
He secretly smiled to himself but didn't plan to expose Yukino Yukinoshita here.
He'd better get the other two rewards first.
"Haruno-san, I told you from the beginning that this fighting technique was taught to me by Shizuka-sensei."
Haru smiled "honestly," humbly stating that this achievement belonged to his beloved Shizuka.
After speaking, he even deliberately looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka with a grateful and adoring expression, showing no intention of taking credit.
Shizuka Hiratsuka's expression froze.
Seeing Haru say such things with that worshipful look, she felt incredibly awkward inside.
She now found the whole situation absurd.
A joke she had made casually, and this guy had actually mastered it.
Was she the one who was crazy, or was the world crazy?
How could such a thing be possible?
Of course, Shizuka Hiratsuka also suspected that Haru was playing with her.
Maybe he was naturally gifted with superhuman strength.
But he was deliberately saying it was her achievement.
However, thinking about Haru's earlier punch that shattered the wall, and what might have been just her imagination, the friendly smile Haru had shown at that time seemed to carry a hint of threat.
Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly didn't dare voice her inner thoughts.
"Shizuka taught you this?"
Haruno Yukinoshita looked at Haru speechlessly, then at Shizuka Hiratsuka.
She had been Shizuka Hiratsuka's student back in the day and had maintained an excellent relationship with her, continuing their friendship even after starting university.
How could she not know Shizuka Hiratsuka's capabilities?
Shizuka Hiratsuka had practiced some karate and similar fighting techniques.
But it was impossible for her to do something as abnormal as what Haru had just done.
"Haruno-san, what's with that look? Are you looking down on Shizuka-sensei?"
Haru stared at Haruno indignantly, as if he had been angered by her words, "Even if you're Haruno-san, I'll get angry if you look down on Shizuka-sensei."
Please don't get angry, I'm really not as amazing as you're making me out to be, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt her face burning as she sensed Haruno's strange glances directed at her.
"In fact, Shizuka-sensei is a legendary master who has hidden her true strength. Any technique she casually teaches me allows me to become this powerful in such a short time."
Haru declared righteously, "And this morning, Shizuka-sensei has already agreed to teach me the real Six Powers. Her kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and I won't allow anyone to insult Shizuka-sensei."
"Six... Six Powers?"
Haruno Yukinoshita widened her beautiful eyes with a look of amazement.
Are you kidding me?
Six Powers is a manga setting from One Piece.
I told you yesterday that I've read One Piece too.
Chapter 36: Is Hiratsuka-sensei a Legendary Master? Shizuka's Realization
Haruno Yukinoshita looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka with a strange expression.
Her eyes clearly conveyed:
[Shizuka, did I hear wrong? Or are you really a legendary master?]
Shizuka Hiratsuka blushed slightly.
She responded with a look that said:
[Don't you know me? What kind of legendary master am I? Don't ask, who knows what's wrong with this kid? I was just talking casually before, but he actually mastered it. Now he actually believes I know the Six Powers. This is just ridiculous.]
Haruno Yukinoshita rolled her eyes and gave another look.
[So what are you going to do? Come clean.]
Shizuka Hiratsuka broke out in a cold sweat and showed a pleading expression:
[Did you see that wall? Do you think if I confess, that kid might use his wall-shattering fist on me?]
[Try it? I think Kohai-kun respects you quite a bit] Haruno Yukinoshita gave an encouraging look.
[Try my ass. If I actually try that, it'll be "try it and then rest in peace"]
Shizuka Hiratsuka was covered in black lines, too lazy to deal with this troublemaker Haruno Yukinoshita who loved to watch the world burn.
She was now a bit panicked, not knowing how to respond to Haru.
She really couldn't teach the Six Powers; she didn't have that ability.
Meanwhile, the other people in the classroom were listening to Haru's words with minds full of suspicion and confusion.
Could Shizuka really be some kind of legendary master?
"This isn't scientific."
Rizu Ogata, who was always rational, now had her mind in chaos. With her perfect biology grades, she couldn't use her knowledge to explain Haru's abnormal power.
This wasn't the kind of strength humans could possess.
Darwin's coffin couldn't hold him down anymore.
"Could it be that martial arts magic really exists in the world? Is Shizuka-sensei really a legendary master?"
Rizu Ogata couldn't help but look toward Shizuka Hiratsuka. Perhaps this was the only explanation.
After all, Haru-san was such a gentle and kind good person, how could he possibly lie?
Without a doubt, Rizu Ogata's trust in Haru was extremely high. She didn't doubt Haru's words at all, just intellectually questioning whether supernatural martial arts like those in movies and novels really existed.
Fumino Furuhashi was in a similar situation to Rizu Ogata.
She also looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka with the expression of someone looking at a worldly sage.
She never expected that there would be someone like the sweeping monk from movies in her own school.
Sure enough, movie plots were all based on reality.
Perhaps there really were such incredible and mysterious people in the world, just that she hadn't discovered them yet.
The naturally romantic Fumino Furuhashi was even more accepting of Haru's explanation than Rikka Takanashi.
Rikka Takanashi was even more excited, staring at Shizuka Hiratsuka with sparkling eyes.
If there weren't so many people present, she would have already tried to become Shizuka Hiratsuka's disciple.
After all, when Shizuka Hiratsuka had said those words back then, she had been personally present.
And now Haru had actually mastered it.
Witnessing Haru gain supernatural power from nothing with her own eyes, she was so envious her eyes turned red.
However, only these three people blindly trusted Haru's words.
Megumi Kato and Yukino Yukinoshita didn't unconditionally believe Haru's words like they did.
Especially Yukino Yukinoshita, who remembered how Haru had used his heterochromatic eyes on her before and knew that Haru wasn't as honest as he seemed.
She had an intuition that Haru was playing with Shizuka Hiratsuka when he said these things.
"How exactly did this guy manage to do it?"
Rather than caring about Shizuka Hiratsuka's situation, Yukino Yukinoshita was more interested in Haru's secret, quietly observing him.
Her heart itched with unwillingness.
This girl with an exceptionally strong competitive spirit had been dealt a blow by Haru twice, and had to admit that Haru was actually a very excellent person.
Megumi Kato, who had barely shown any presence from beginning to end, watched Haru seriously reveal Shizuka Hiratsuka's identity with a hint of amusement in her eyes.
Of course, she was also shocked, but not much.
She just thought Haru was amazing.
And she also intuitively felt that Haru was playing with Shizuka Hiratsuka.
Although she didn't understand what Haru's purpose was in doing this, Megumi Kato believed that Haru wasn't someone who would blindly tease teachers.
He must have his own ideas.
Thinking about this Haru, whom she had only recently met but who had repeatedly exceeded her expectations, Megumi Kato's eyes sparkled with amusement as she became increasingly interested in the mysteries surrounding him.
She had a premonition that perhaps many incredible things would happen around Haru in the future.
By Haru's side, she would definitely not live the same bland daily life as before.
"Haru-kun really is an enigmatic person."
Megumi Kato silently sighed to herself, looking at Haru's figure with some anticipation.
Naturally, Haru was completely unaware of the thoughts of those around him.
After praising Shizuka Hiratsuka a few times, he felt it was time to reveal his true intentions.
"Shizuka."
Haru approached Shizuka Hiratsuka with an expectant expression, "I've successfully accomplished it. Now you should fulfill your promise and teach me the Six Powers!"
"Please don't worry, teacher. Once a teacher, always a teacher. I definitely won't disgrace your reputation. In the future, when you're old, I'll take care of you in your retirement."
Hearing these words, Shizuka Hiratsuka nearly spat blood.
Does this old lady need you to take care of me?
Do you think I'll never get married and will end up like those lonely elderly people?
Of course, she didn't dare say such things.
After all, the shocking effect Haru had just created was still replaying in her mind.
Moreover, seeing Haru's small eyes filled with worship and trust, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt even more guilty.
She was even less daring to tell the truth.
Fortunately, just now, after racking her brains, she had already figured out how to respond to Haru.
After all, she had previous experience.
Just like last time, it should be fine.
"Ahem."
Shizuka Hiratsuka coughed dryly to hide her panic, forcing herself to remain calm as she said, "Haru, I keep my word. Since you want to learn, teaching you the Six Powers isn't a big deal."
Yukino Yukinoshita and Megumi Kato couldn't help but look over.
Their faces were suspicious.
Does Shizuka really know the Six Powers?
Haruno Yukinoshita was secretly laughing.
She already knew that Shizuka Hiratsuka was probably preparing to bluff Haru in her desperation.
She wondered how this guy planned to deceive Haru, and whether she could get away with it.
The three people who had already started believing in Shizuka Hiratsuka—Rikka Takanashi and the others—perked up their ears, wanting to watch and remember, to secretly learn.
Rizu Ogata wanted to study what Shizuka Hiratsuka was saying, whether it was scientific, and what the principle behind it was.
Meanwhile, Rikka and Fumino Furuhashi were somewhat yearning for extraordinary existence.
They wanted to try whether they could become such people.
The only one controlling the entire situation, Haru, now showed a slight smile on his face.
It wasn't in vain that he had put in so much effort.
Shizuka was finally getting the hint.
He immediately straightened his posture, adopting the attitude of an obedient good student, saying with a serious expression: "Please teach me, teacher. I absolutely won't miss a single word."
Seeing Haru's sincere attitude, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt even more guilty.
She probed tentatively: "But, I can teach you, but whether you can comprehend it depends on your personal enlightenment."
After saying this, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt somewhat relieved.
Fortunately, she had watched quite a few martial arts movies from the neighboring country.
Enlightenment.
What a supreme treasure for masters teaching disciples.
Anyway, I taught you.
But how well I teach depends on your enlightenment.
If you can't comprehend it, that's because your enlightenment isn't enough, not because I, your teacher, didn't teach well.
What? You actually dare to doubt your master's teaching ability?
You don't even understand respecting teachers and valuing the Way, and you still have the face to become a disciple and learn things?
Thinking of this, Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes lit up, suddenly discovering that she wasn't so panicked anymore.
She suddenly knew how to teach Haru the Six Powers.
