This was the anti-theft badge.

Reborn stared at the two dueling men with his bean-sized eyes, "No, he didn't disappear.

He was so fast that it gave the illusion of teleportation to the naked eye. "

This speed …

It was comparable to Barian's.

No … Maybe he was even faster than Barian.

Takeshi Yamamoto, who had disappeared, appeared in front of Dino.

He slashed at Dino.

Dino instinctively blocked Takeshi Yamamoto's attack with his whip.

Every slash had a silver tail, which showed how fast the slash was. The collision between the blade and the whip did not produce a loud sound.

However, there were sparks from the friction. Dino was suppressed and kept retreating.

This kid, the pressure of close combat was too strong … There was no chance for him to attack.

He was completely pinned down.

"What a terrifying close combat ability." Reborn concluded.

"Dino didn't have a chance to swing his whip at all."

No … Maybe he wasn't serious at all.

After all, he said that he hadn't held a sword for a long time, so he was a little rusty. If he was familiar with it … Reborn began to confirm that he had chosen a good family member for Tsunayoshi Shinoda.

A drop of sweat slid down from his forehead to his chin.

Dino did not underestimate Takeshi Yamamoto from the beginning.

However, he did not expect to be so passive after being closed in. There was no other way.

He could only lift his leg and kick Takeshi Yamamoto to distance himself.

Just as he had hoped, Yamamoto Takeshi stopped attacking and somersaulted in the air to avoid the kick. Just as he stabilized his body, a whip coiled several times around his arm that was holding the knife.

"Finally, I caught the opportunity." He pulled away.

Dino was emboldened.

He panted slightly and looked at Yamamoto.

"I can't beat you in close combat.

However, at this distance, it's my time to attack. Your hand has been restrained. What will you do next? "

"You're wrong. It's still my time to attack," Takeshi Yamamoto corrected Dino with a smile.

Looking at his smiling face, Dino had an ominous feeling.

Takeshi Yamamoto turned his wrist slightly and pointed the tip of the katana at the ground. He loosened his grip and let the katana fall to the ground. This action, which was similar to surrendering, stunned Dino.

"You …"

Before he could finish his sentence, Takeshi Yamamoto yanked Dino towards him with his trapped right hand. The unprepared Dino staggered as he was dragged towards Takeshi Yamamoto. Then, Takeshi Yamamoto wrapped his arms around his waist.

Dino: "… Huh?"

"I won."

Takeshi Yamamoto raised his head and looked at Dino with a brilliant smile. While Dino was still in a daze, he threw Dino over his shoulder.

"Pfff!"

Dino, dead.

"… What an unexpected result."

Reborn was silent for a few seconds before he spoke, "Although I didn't find out his true strength, I have a rough understanding of his strength."

"At present, I only know that his strength is above Lark's."

"Are you talking about Yamamoto-san?"

Tsunayoshi Shinoda looked at Takeshi Yamamoto and smiled helplessly, "He has always been very strong. Although he doesn't fight often, my intuition tells me that Avu is very strong."

Reborn immediately denied, "No, I'm referring to his seduction."

Tsunayoshi Shinoda: "… Reborn, did you say something terrible?"

Reborn ignored him and changed the topic, "Did you secretly call him Avu?"

"… Reborn!" Tsunayoshi Shinoda's face turned red.

Reborn turned his head, covered his mouth and made a short pfff sound, "Poor Foolish Principles. Not only do you like a boy, but the other party is also a steel straight man. Poor."

Tsunayoshi Shinoda: "Shut up!!!"

Yamamoto, who carried Dino over, looked at him in confusion, "What are you talking about?

What steel and what shut up? "

Reborn: "Foolish Principles just called you Avu."

"R, Reborn!"

"It's not a big deal. If you want to call me that, just call me that."

Takeshi Yamamoto didn't think much of it. He put Dino on the tank and poked his waist curiously, "Does it hurt?"

"Ouch — Stop poking, you're going to kill me."

Dino gasped and held his waist like an old man, "Ouch, ouch, ouch … Is it because I'm old?"

Romario sent a message of concern, "Boss, you … sprained your waist?"

Dino nodded miserably, "Yes."

Everyone was silent for a second, then turned their heads in unison, "Pfff!"

Dino: "You guys are too much!

What's wrong with spraining my waist?! "

Reborn's tone was a little disdainful, "As a man, how can you sprain your waist so easily? Dino, you … Maybe you're useless in some aspects."

"Even if Reborn says it, I'll still be angry!" Dino slapped his thigh seriously, "It's not up to you to decide whether I'm useless in that aspect or not!

That's up to my future … Well, that's up to you. "

As he said that, he secretly looked at Takeshi Yamamoto with a shy look.

Takeshi Yamamoto scratched his head, "Why are you looking at me?

Is there something on my face? "

Tsunayoshi Shinoda immediately looked at Dino vigilantly.

Reborn didn't know what to ask Takeshi Yamamoto to do because he had completed the training beyond his level. At this moment, Takeshi Yamamoto took the initiative to raise his hand.

"Why don't I go home and take a nap?"

Reborn turned his head to look at Dino, "It's decided, your task is to take care of the old man who sprained his waist."

Everyone: "… Our words were ignored …"

The old man Dino: "… I'm only 22 years old!"

"Sigh …" The three people sitting on the tank held the ramen provided by Reborn's family and looked at the sky, sighing in unison.

Takeshi Yamamoto slurped the ramen, his cheeks puffed up as he spoke incoherently, "I feel like we've been completely set free."

"Yeah, I wanted to go to the amusement park today, but I didn't expect to be dragged here so early in the morning." Dino held the bowl in one hand and took out the tickets from his pocket with the other hand, "I've already bought the tickets."

"You look like you have a lot of free time." Takeshi Yamamoto wanted to say something, but he hesitated. "Are all mafia leaders so free?"

Romario: "… Sure enough, we're thought to be very free, boss."

Dino had a look of self-righteousness on his face as he said, "But we are very free to begin with!"

Takeshi Yamamoto put the bowl aside, stretched out one hand and started counting the days, "Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and then New Year's Eve … It's almost New Year's Eve!"

"Huh?

Time flies. "Dino sighed," Another year has passed without us noticing. "

Takeshi Yamamoto nodded in agreement, "Yeah, you're one step closer to being a real old man."

Dino: "… Can we not talk about this?"

Dino didn't know if it was an illusion or not, but his waist, which had been a little bloated, started to hurt again.

Takeshi Yamamoto rubbed his chin, and his eyes lit up, "Let's sneak away!"

Dino: "Huh?"

"Let's go to the amusement park!

We have nothing to do anyway. "After that, Yamamoto got off the tank, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards the school gate.

"Don't … If Reborn, that vengeful guy, knows that we're sneaking away, something terrible will happen, right?" Dino hesitated, but his body was honest. He stood up and followed Yamamoto's footsteps.

"I heard it, Dino."

A voice that was amplified by a loudspeaker came from above. Dino looked up and saw Reborn standing next to the window with a loudspeaker, saying to them, "I was afraid that you'd be bored, so I called someone to accompany you. You don't have to thank me."

"You said bad things about me behind my back. I'll find time to let you know what it means to hold a grudge."

Dino: "…"

Dino raised one hand high, "I want to report that Yamamoto took the lead to run away first!"

Romario: "… Are you a kindergarten kid who snitches, boss?"

The person that Reborn said was afraid that they would be bored was Lark Kyouya.

Lark, who was called over by Reborn, who said that "Yamamoto misses you very much and wants to fight you," stood at the school gate and saw Takeshi Yamamoto walking towards him.

"It seems that the baby is telling the truth." Lark's tone had a hint of satisfaction, "This time, I won't let you run away again!"

As he spoke, he launched an attack on Takeshi Yamamoto.

Takeshi Yamamoto turned around and ran, "Lark, I feel that you're particularly excited today, hahaha!"

"Are you running again?" Lark was beginning to feel unhappy. This guy was always like this.

"Of course not."

Takeshi Yamamoto ran to the side of the tank, pulled out the katana that he had stabbed into the ground, and turned around to fight with Lark.

Dino, who was next to him, looked like he had just survived a disaster. That scared the hell out of me. I thought he was going to push me out to fight with that battle maniac Lark!

This battle was different from the one with Dino. The duckweed crutch and the tachi collided, making clanging sounds. Judging from the frequency of the clashes, the battle was very intense.

Moreover, both sides were good at close combat. Takeshi Yamamoto felt that the battle was more enjoyable than the one with Dino.

Takeshi Yamamoto, who had experienced many battles, had more combat experience than Lark, so every time he hit Lark, he used the back of his katana or the handle.

Lark's face darkened, "Are you looking down on me, herbivore?"

Because of his anger, he swung his duckweed crutch more frequently, and he closed in on Takeshi Yamamoto step by step.

"Of course not!" Takeshi Yamamoto easily blocked the attacks as he spoke.

"Then cut me with the edge of your blade." Lark's right crutch slammed into the ground.

Takeshi Yamamoto quickly jumped back to avoid it. He looked troubled, "Ugh … but Lark is not an enemy."

"I only use my blade to attack enemies. I won't use it on my partner."

"… I'm not your partner," Lark said coldly.

Takeshi Yamamoto laughed, "See, you hesitated, so we are partners!"

"…" Lark did not say anything and attacked Takeshi Yamamoto.

Everyone in the classroom who was eavesdropping through Reborn's listening device immediately started to complain at the same time.

Hayato Jōdera, "Huh?

He's Lark's partner?

Stop joking, who would want to be partners with that kind of guy! "

Reborn, "He's pretty smart to treat Lark as his partner. Not bad, even someone like Lark hesitated."

Tsunayoshi Shinoda, who was responsible for complaining, said without thinking, "Why do I feel like Lark senpai is just angry?"

Reborn turned to look at him with an ambiguous expression, "Foolish Principles, you're becoming more and more lovey-dovey."

Tsunayoshi Shinoda, "Why are you talking about me like that!"

"Hey hey, what are you guys talking about?"

Blue Wave, who was eating, ran over and jumped under their feet, "Blue Wave wants to join too!"

After saying that, he jumped in front of Reborn and made a funny face in front of the binoculars. Reborn did not even think about it and sent him flying.

"Have … to … endure …" Blue Wave, who was in the air, cried out. He took out a purple rocket launcher from his afro and was about to dive into it, but his hand slipped and the rocket launcher fell.

Takeshi Yamamoto stabbed his katana into the ground and met Lark's attack with his bare hands. He grabbed Lark's arm with his left hand and grabbed Lark's arm with his right hand. Then, he pressed Lark to the ground with force.

Lark was pressed to the ground by Takeshi Yamamoto. The pain at the back of his head made him close his eyes subconsciously. Then, he felt a weight on his body. When he opened his eyes, he saw Takeshi Yamamoto sitting on his stomach.

"Lark, let's talk about something."

Takeshi Yamamoto leaned forward towards Lark, "Look at what era it is now. It's not good to fight and kill. Let's meet peacefully in the future, okay?"

Looking at the face so close to him, Lark felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. But the frustration of being humiliated defeated that feeling. He gritted his teeth, "Don't even think about it."

With a loud bang, the rocket launcher landed right on top of their heads and swallowed them whole.

"Sir, I've filled it out." The red-haired boy put the application form on the podium. The homeroom teacher looked at it and revealed an expression of "I knew it."

"I knew you'd fill it out." He put away the form and waved his hand, "Okay, you can go now."

"Sir, you're too much. You're chasing us away." The red-haired boy pouted and opened the door with his bag.

Homeroom teacher: Silly boy, I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to.

"What?"

A boy suddenly reacted and shouted, "Damn it, I knew this guy would fill out Qieshima's name. We won't be able to meet again!"

"No, I have to strike first!"

He slammed the table and stood up. With a whoosh, he rushed towards the red-haired boy named Qieshima, "The second button of your shirt is mine!"

His words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the others. As a result, they all rushed towards the door.

"XX, don't even think about it!

Take my flaming arrow hammer! "

"Pfft!"

"Go away, you stinky man!

The second button should belong to us girls! "

"Then, then I'll just take the third button!"

"I'll take the fourth!"

"I'll take the fifth!"

"I …"

"Since you're all fighting for the button, I'll just take the belt."

Qieshima:???

Seeing the group of students' ferocious expressions, he turned and ran without thinking.

This is too f * cking scary!

What are you doing to my shirt and pants?!

They clung to the door frame and reached out to the departing figure, "Ahhhh, don't go!"

Cherishima Rai 'er, male, 15 years old. After three years, he finally realized how terrifying the classmate he had spent three years with was.

They want to take my button and belt!

How am I supposed to wear my shirt and pants?

This is too much!

Che Dao turned a corner at the intersection and heard the sound of something shattering. He subconsciously turned his head to look.

A tall man was wrapped in a cloak, revealing only his bare feet. His face was hidden in the shadows. He had one hand on the top of the two girls' heads and clawed at the building behind them, causing cracks to appear.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

The man's voice was rough and deep. He spoke slowly and gripped the building even harder. It felt like he could crush it at any time.

The two girls trembled even harder.

At this time, a voice came from above them, "Uncle, threatening girls is not something a man should do."

They looked up and saw the red-haired boy in their school uniform standing in front of them, blocking most of the man's body.

Qieshima grabbed the man's arm and flung it away, "If you want to ask them questions, why don't you ask me instead?"

The man looked at him with the face of a frightened child, "Where … is the office?"

"Oh, that one. Turn left this way and go straight. Turn right at the second intersection." Qieshima pointed in a direction.

"… Thank you." The man turned and left.

The oppressive feeling suddenly disappeared, and the two girls revealed expressions of having survived a disaster.

"That was so scary … I thought we were going to be killed."

"So scary …"

They sniffed and wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, "Thank you."

"Ah, I just happened to pass by and helped." Qieshima scratched his head, "After all, we're all classmates from the same school."

"Eh?

Isn't this Qieshima from Class 1? "

A girl's lively voice came. Everyone turned to see a pink-haired, pink-skinned girl with antennae running over with a cup of milk tea in each hand.

"Che … Qieshima?"

The two girls looked at each other and finally realized who it was. They said in unison, "You're the legendary Brother Qieshima?!"

Qieshima, who had suddenly turned into a big brother, "Huh?"

What's going on?

"Don't you know?"

The pink-haired girl, Ashio Sana, raised a finger, "When I first entered the school, I pinned my seniors to the ground and beat them up."

"Oh, you're talking about that. Those seniors wanted to blackmail me. I didn't want to, so I beat them up." At this point, Cechima pointed at himself with a slightly distressed expression. "Do I look like I'm easy to bully?"

The three girls looked at his face and hairstyle and nodded, "Yes, you're easy to bully."

Qieshima: "…"

"I'm Ashio Sana from Class 4. Nice to meet you!" Ashio introduced herself, "You must be a hero, right?"

"That's right." Qieshima nodded.

Ashio happily raised her hand, palm facing him, "I'm a hero too. Let's go together on the day of the exam!"

Qieshima reached out and slapped her hand, "No problem!"

Slap!

Ashio Sana seemed to remember something and said, "But you actually know where the office is. That's amazing."

"No, I don't even know where the office is."

Qieshima scratched his head, "I told him the address of the police station. There's nothing wrong with asking the police if there's a problem."

The three girls: "…"

Xiongying's written exam was more difficult than the final exam. When Qieshima came out of the exam room, he saw Ashio Sana who was listless.

"Ah … Is Xiongying's written exam the devil …" She was swaying. She looked like she was going bald from studying.

Qieshima: "Did you fill in all the blanks?"

Ashio Sana nodded, "Yes."

"Then that's it!

It's better to fill in all the blanks than to leave them empty. "Qieshima raised his hand and pointed behind him with his thumb," Do you want to eat cake?

I saw a popular dessert shop on the way here. It's a good chance to relax my mind. "

"Yes!" Ashio Sana raised her hands.

The two came to the entrance of the popular dessert shop. Through the glass, they could see that the seats inside were full. There was also a long line outside the small window.

They were silent for a while. In the end, Qieshima asked hesitantly, "Do you … still want to eat?"

Ashio Sana clenched her fist. There was a faint flame in her eyes, "Yes!

Of course I want to eat!

It's just waiting in line. It's not a problem for me! "

"Let's go, Qieshima. For the cake, let's do it!"

"Haha …"

The two waited at the end of the line for almost 20 minutes before they finally bought their favorite cake. Not only that, they also found that the shop sold ice cream. They bought ice cream and ate it as they walked.

"Their ice cream is really good!" Qieshima exclaimed, "It's the best ice cream I've ever eaten."

"Agreed!"

Because the exam had just ended, there were many students nearby. A person wearing a hat and black clothes brushed past them. In the blink of an eye, they could only see the person's light blue short hair and unhealthy skin tone.

Boom!

The glass of the shop in front of them exploded. Qieshima subconsciously stood in front of Ashio Sana to block the glass shards.

Then, the surrounding shops kept exploding. Soon, the street was set on fire amidst the screams of people.

"Qieshima!?" Ashio Sana hurried forward, "Are you okay?"

"My personality is hardened, so these things can't hurt me. Don't worry."

Qieshima, who knew his personality was like a tank in the front row, looked down at his torn clothes, "Oh, but my clothes are torn."

"Forget about the clothes. Let's go!

It's so hot here! "

"Okay!"

Qieshima, who was about to leave, suddenly flashed through his mind. Flames surrounded the ruins. Then, the image of a little girl holding a man's hand and being crushed into meat paste flashed through his mind. He shook his head violently and flung these things away. Then, he rushed out of the fire with Ashio Sana.

"Don't touch my father!"

A little girl's cry came from behind. He turned around and saw a tall man holding the skinny man by the neck and lifting him into the air. The little girl, who was about six or seven years old, crawled to the skinny man's side and hugged his leg.

"Nami … Run, don't worry about your father …" The skinny man said with a pale face.

"Ahhh! I don't care!

My father is my only family. Don't touch my father, you bastard! "

The little girl cried and dragged the man to her side, "Someone … I'm begging you, please save my father!"

Whoosh!

When Qieshima came back to his senses, he was already in front of the man. He chopped the man's arm with his hand. The man let go of the girl's father in pain, "When did you get here?"

Qieshima, who was still in the air, twisted his body and kicked the man's chin, sending him flying into the air. The man finally reacted. He adjusted his posture in the air. His hands were on fire. He gritted his teeth and looked at the red-haired boy, "Kid, didn't your mother teach you not to meddle in other people's business!?"

Qieshima responded with a punch.

Qieshima jumped into the air and punched the man's abdomen. With a loud bang, the man fell to the ground. Smoke billowed out of his body.

Qieshima landed on the ground and looked at the direction where the man fell, "Sorry, my mother didn't teach me that."

"She only told me to keep my mouth shut when I meet scum like you. Just use your fists to punch them."

When the dust settled, there was a huge pit where the man fell. He was almost buried in the ground.

The crowd was silent for a few seconds. Then, they burst into cheers, "Nice one!"

Qieshima felt his clothes being pulled. He looked down and saw the little girl looking up at him with a smile, "Thank you, brother."

"You're my hero from now on."

Qieshima smiled and ruffled her hair.

Although he didn't know what those images were, it was great that he could save the father and daughter.

The crowd cheered. Only the man in black, who had brushed past him, left silently.

"Wait, ten years later, Ah Gang is so tall?!"

Yamamoto Takeshi suddenly came to his senses and visually estimated the height of Sasuda Tsunayoshi ten years later. No matter how he looked at it, it was at least 1.8 meters!

Therefore, Yamamoto looked at him with an expression that said, "We live in the same prosperous land. Did you secretly take height pills behind my back?"

Tsunayoshi Shinoda had known Takeshi Yamamoto for ten years. Naturally, he could tell what was on Takeshi Yamamoto's mind from his expression, "I secretly took height pills. I'm sorry!"

Takeshi Yamamoto was shocked, "You really took them?!

I didn't expect you to be this kind of Ah Gang! "

Tsunayoshi Shinoda: "… I didn't take them."

Avu's personality hadn't changed at all in the past ten years. It was really making people bald.

He rubbed his forehead and said, "Avu, what should I do with you …"
