13 Fūju was completely unaware of the dramatic conflict unfolding up on the school rooftop.
After successfully playing a few musical compositions without any interruptions inside the Light Music Club room, he felt his emotional state grow far more stable and calm.
The tranquility gained from immersing himself in the flow of the music had clearly brought a highly positive impact.
The afternoon warning bell signaling the start of the next class period soon began to chime.
He immediately packed up all his working gear, relocked the club room door, and walked back to the classroom to attend the subsequent learning session.
While the lesson progressed inside the classroom, Fūju chose to focus on finishing up the final parts of the Your Name manuscript before eventually taking a brief rest to sleep.
By the time he felt his physical energy recover, the chime for the end of the final period finally rang.
This signaled that the entire sequence of teaching and learning activities for the day had concluded, allowing Fūju to move on to his next major agenda.
After packing all his personal belongings into his handbag, Fūju once again walked over to the area outside the Light Music Club room.
Just like his routine during the lunch break, he unlocked the door, pushed it open, and stepped into the room.
He quickly pulled out his laptop, booted up the operating system, and synchronized all the manuscript data he had typed on his phone so it would be saved on the laptop.
Just as he was about to begin proofreading the text to check for parts requiring revision or polish, a figure suddenly stepped into the room.
The figure was a well-proportioned adult woman wearing a white lab coat, who was none other than Shizuka Hiratsuka.
“Is there something important you need to say?” Fūju asked without shifting his gaze from the laptop screen.
He remained focused on checking the main text of the Your Name manuscript.
Seeing Fūju’s response, which showed absolutely zero interest in interacting with her, Shizuka could only twitch the corner of her lips in irritation and disbelief.
She questioned why her dedication as a teacher who always acted friendly and caring toward her students was met with such a freezing reception from Fūju.
“My purpose in coming here remains the same as yesterday’s discussion topic, which is regarding the recruitment process for new members for your club.” “Even though there are still a few days left before next week begins, you should make the necessary preparations as soon as possible.” “If you fail to secure new members, this Light Music Club room will regulatory be dissolved and merged with another student’s club,” Shizuka delivered the analysis while shaking her head.
“Right, I understand the information.
You may leave this room now,” Fūju responded in an incredibly flat tone.
Just like before, he showed absolutely no intention of looking up at Shizuka’s face.
“Tch…” Shizuka clicked her tongue quietly in annoyance.
She judged that the student in front of her was a problem child with a personality that was exceptionally difficult to handle.
However, because she held a moral responsibility as an educator to guide her students, she felt obligated to take corrective action so that Fūju’s character could develop in a better direction.
Before starting the counseling session and offering advice to Fūju, Shizuka intended to light a cigarette first to satisfy the nicotine craving she was beginning to feel.
Shizuka reflexively took a cigarette from her pocket, then pulled out a lighter with the intention of smoking right inside the Light Music Club room.
Noticing the flash of light from the lighter, Fūju immediately snapped his head up.
He directly witnessed Shizuka preparing to light a cigarette right in front of him.
Fūju felt that Shizuka’s action of smoking in front of a student while holding the status of a teacher set an incredibly poor example.
Shizuka’s action breached one of Fūju’s strict personal principles and boundaries.
Personally, Fūju absolutely loathed tobacco products and went to extremes to avoid exposure to secondhand smoke.
His level of hatred toward it was absolute.
In the very next instant, Fūju reflexively drew a single playing card from his supply and threw it with full force toward the cigarette held in Shizuka’s hand.
A very sharp, faint whoosh cut through the air inside the room as a black shadow flashed right past Shizuka’s face.
The main body of the cigarette Shizuka was holding was instantly sliced into two clean pieces, right at the edge of the filter.
The tool Fūju used to slice the cigarette so accurately was the single playing card he had just thrown.
The card-throwing technique Fūju displayed was incredibly fast, precise, and sharp.
Having been cut by the playing card, the main body of the cigarette dropped straight onto the floor, leaving Shizuka holding nothing but the remaining filter piece between her fingers.
The fact that Fūju possessed playing cards was perfectly rational.
For a multi-talented individual who had mastered gambling techniques and sleight-of-hand magic tricks, carrying playing cards inside a clothing pocket was a natural and functional habit.
“Hey, you brat!
Were you trying to kill me?” Shizuka, who was known for her high physical reflexes, was still caught completely off guard by the sudden attack.
Shizuka realized that the playing card’s trajectory hadn’t just sliced the cigarette in her hand, but had also managed to clip a few strands of her hair.
Had the card traveled even slightly closer to her body, she was certain the sharp playing card could have sliced the carotid artery in her neck.
Shizuka felt utterly shocked by the card-throwing prowess Fūju possessed.
The fact that Fūju possessed physical capabilities on par with or even surpassing her own was already a massive surprise, and now she had to face the reality that he still harbored such highly dangerous tactical skills.
Flawless academic achievements, high-level laptop hacking proficiency, top-tier musical arrangement competence, strong physical agility, and an incredibly precise card-throwing skill were the sequence of capabilities Fūju had put on display.
Every time Shizuka analyzed a new facet of capability shown by Fūju, her astonishment grew larger until she was completely lost for words.
She began to wonder just how many secret abilities this student was still hiding.
“This is your first and final warning.” “You are permitted to smoke elsewhere, but you are strictly forbidden from doing so in front of me or inside the Light Music Club room area.” “If you violate this condition, I cannot guarantee where the trajectory of the next playing card will fly,” Fūju delivered the threat in an incredibly calm tone.
Even though Fūju uttered the sentence without emitting any murderous aura, Shizuka psychologically felt as though a sharp weapon blade was pressing directly against her neck.
This condition caused cold sweat to break out across her forehead.
“Fine, I understand.” “I promise I won’t engage in smoking activities inside this room again in the future,” Shizuka unconsciously chose to back down and comply with Fūju’s command.
The response shown by Shizuka would undoubtedly shock any other student or faculty member if they were to witness it firsthand.
The figure of Shizuka Hiratsuka, widely feared and known as an incredibly strict teacher at school, was now proven to act highly submissive and quiet in front of Fūju.
After offering a few additional pieces of advice regarding the urgency of recruiting new members for the club, Shizuka decided not to stay any longer inside the Light Music Club room.
She quickly picked up the pieces of the cigarette that had fallen on the floor and strode out of the room at a very fast pace.
Whether Shizuka’s withdrawal from the room was influenced by a factor of fear could not be confirmed for certain.
However, one thing was absolutely guaranteed: from this moment on, the name Akira Fūju was categorized as a highly dangerous subject inside Shizuka’s mind.
“Akira-kun!” Not long after Shizuka left the room, a group of other students was spotted approaching the Light Music Club room again.
The moment he recognized the vocal characteristics of the newly arrived individual, Fūju immediately knitted his brows and felt a surge of irritation rise within his heart.
The figure whose arrival constantly triggered annoyance in Fūju was none other than Tomoya Aki.
Tomoya, along with his three groupmates, had returned to bother Fūju with the goal of persuading him to get involved in their video game creation project.
During the lunch break earlier, the internal relations between Tomoya and his three companions had actually suffered a serious conflict that threatened the group’s survival.
However, through a certain method of indoctrination or explanation delivered by Tomoya, he had managed to temporarily dampen the conflict and prevent the group’s dissolution.
“Tomoya Aki, do you know what the most essential aspect of living life as a human being is?” Before Tomoya could even voice the purpose of his arrival, Fūju hurled a question with an incredibly cold and piercing intonation.
The maximum tolerance possessed by Fūju had been completely depleted after he had offered extensive explanations yesterday without taking physical eviction measures against Tomoya.
Right now, he no longer possessed any room of patience to deal with the group.
“Huh?” Tomoya instantly showed a confused expression upon hearing the rhetorical question from Fūju.
“The most important aspect of life is having self-awareness regarding one’s own boundaries and capabilities!” “If your purpose in coming here is simply to exploit another person’s capabilities for your personal gain, I suggest you find another target.” “The Light Music Club room is not an area you can enter freely.
I order you to leave this place immediately!” Fūju gave the command in a loud, stern voice.
Right after finishing his sentence, Fūju drew a large number of playing cards from his supply and threw the entire bunch simultaneously with full force toward the front.
In the very next second, a rapid sequence of sharp thuds echoed inside the room.
Every single playing card thrown by Fūju proved capable of embedding itself incredibly deep into the surface of the wooden door near the wall.
