2 “This kind of feeling really is great.” After finishing the song, Fūju’s heart was flooded with a complex mix of emotions.
Both the instrumental performance and the singing he had just executed were things he could never have imagined doing before his reincarnation.
To him, this sensation was a completely fresh and amazing experience.
Thinking about it, Fūju’s eyes shifted slightly.
‘Maybe I should play one more song?’ Almost immediately, he placed both hands back onto the keys, preparing to start playing and singing a new track.
“Young man, your skills are quite impressive.” “I didn’t expect you to have this kind of talent.” Just as Fūju was about to dive into his next piece, a voice suddenly echoed from right behind him, instantly cutting his intentions short.
Fūju, who had been completely riding a wave of high spirits, immediately knit his brows together, deeply annoyed that his momentum had been interrupted.
To be perfectly honest, he absolutely loathed being interrupted when he was focusing intensely on something.
What made it worse was the person’s tone—it gave off the distinct impression that they were looking at him like a monkey on display at a zoo.
The thought alone made Fūju’s irritation spike.
He whipped his body around, glared directly at the figure standing just outside the doorway, and snapped loudly, “Get out!
Who exactly do you think you are?” “Barging in and interrupting someone else so carelessly, does that reflect your idea of proper manners?” If Fūju hadn’t deliberately reined himself in, he most likely would have lashed out at the intruder with much harsher words.
Startled by Fūju’s sudden shout, the woman who had just spoken froze in place for a brief second, before a look of intense anger instantly flared across her features.
She looked completely disbelieving that a mere student would dare yell and speak in such a manner to someone like her, who was notoriously famous for her heavy fists.
As far as she was concerned, this student’s behavior crossed the line entirely.
This sudden turn of events unfolded right in front of the two individuals standing just behind the woman.
The pair consisted of the ice-cold teenage girl and the lazy-eyed teenage boy.
Upon witnessing Akira Fūju’s incredibly bold reaction, their eyes widened slightly, showing a profound sense of awe at Fūju’s sheer guts.
A sharp, sudden whoosh cut through the air.
The woman threw a lightning-fast punch aimed directly at Fūju’s stomach, clearly intending to teach him a painful physical lesson right then and there.
“You seriously dare to launch a surprise attack?” Seeing the incredibly fast and powerful fist flying toward him, Fūju felt a momentary flash of surprise.
However, despite being caught off guard, not a single trace of fear showed in his eyes.
This was because he had trained his body rigorously and possessed incredibly advanced martial arts skills.
Almost purely on reflex, Fūju’s hands moved in a blur.
One of his hands shot out to redirect the incoming punch using a fluid deflection technique.
Meanwhile, his other hand tracked right along her extended arm, sliding upward to grip the woman’s arm with an iron hold.
“Take this.” “Enjoy a shoulder throw.” Fūju gripped his attacker’s arm tightly, dug his heels in, and pulled her forward with immense force to slam her straight onto the floor.
A tremendously loud thud echoed through the room an instant later.
The impact was immediately followed by a sharp cry of pain, loud enough to ring out into the school corridor.
“Still think you can just ambush me out of nowhere?
Are you ready to give up now?” Fūju released his iron grip on the woman’s arm and spoke in a thoroughly chilling tone.
Before the woman flat on the floor could even muster a response, Fūju caught the sound of two sharp gasps coming from the direction of the door.
“Why are you two gasping instead of clapping?
Are you trying to contribute to global warming or something?” Fūju snapped irritably at the pair responsible for the noise.
But the moment his eyes locked onto their actual faces, Fūju froze completely.
The ice-cold teenage girl and the lazy-eyed teenage boy standing right next to her looked incredibly familiar to him.
The second that realization clicked in his brain, Fūju instinctively smacked his own forehead.
He then rubbed his eyes aggressively, his face contorting into an expression of sheer disbelief.
The two teenagers standing before him looked exactly like Yukino Yukinoshita and Hachiman Hikigaya.
Fūju found himself completely baffled as to why he was looking at two fictional anime characters in the flesh.
For a second, he genuinely wondered if he was trapped inside a dream.
Despite his doubts, the lingering sting from smacking his own forehead reminded Fūju that this was definitely reality.
The people standing right in front of him were undeniably the real-deal Yukino Yukinoshita and Hachiman Hikigaya.
Reacting instinctively, Fūju then cast his gaze down toward the person he had just flattened onto the floor.
The moment he got a clear look at her face, his shock multiplied tenfold.
The person he had just thrown down with absolute authority was none other than Shizuka Hiratsuka, the teacher legendary for her iron fists.
Fūju realized that he had not only reincarnated into this specific world, but he had also just executed a perfect shoulder throw on Shizuka Hiratsuka.
The realization left Fūju’s mind completely reeling.
Even though he had crossed over to this world, up until now, he hadn’t paid much attention to the broader environment of the world he lived in.
He only knew that this world shared a lot of similarities with his previous one, where several countries he recognized existed under slightly different names.
He had never imagined that this place would turn out to be a world straight out of an anime.
This crossover reality felt incredibly surreal.
“Man, your skills are absolutely insane.
I seriously admire your courage.” “However, if I were you, I’d highly recommend making a run for it right this second.” Right in the middle of Fūju’s internal shock, he suddenly caught a quiet piece of advice coming from Hachiman Hikigaya.
Fūju blinked at the boy, his face a complete picture of confusion, entirely failing to grasp the reasoning behind the warning.
However, he received his answer only a split second later.
Out of nowhere, a pair of hands snaked up from behind him, locking around his neck in a brutally tight chokehold.
“Hey now, brat…
that little stunt you pulled earlier was quite something, wasn’t it?” Along with the tight grip came a voice so incredibly cold and sharp it felt like it could freeze him solid.
As it turned out, Shizuka Hiratsuka—whom he had just slammed onto the floor—had managed to stand right back up without him even noticing.
Currently, the figure squeezing his neck with terrifying strength was that very woman.
‘My friend, even though I don’t know your name, I will always remember you as a true hero.’ Witnessing this unfold, Hachiman Hikigaya felt a deep wave of pity for Fūju in his heart, looking at him as if he were watching the final moments of a doomed man.
Even Yukino Yukinoshita standing beside him stared at Fūju with a gaze that seemed to silently bid him farewell.
The two of them would always remember that there was once a brave student who dared to stand up against the tyrannical force of Shizuka Hiratsuka, even if that student was currently facing imminent doom.
“Hey, friend!
That music you were playing earlier was absolutely incredible!” Right in the middle of this incredibly tense standoff, a group of four people—consisting of one teenage boy and three teenage girls—suddenly strolled right into the Light Music Club.
The reason they had come down here in the first place was because the four of them had been up on the school rooftop, deeply engrossed in a discussion about creating a visual novel game.
However, right in the middle of their brainstorming session, they had caught the faint sound of an incredibly beautiful melody drifting down from the Light Music Club.
Hearing that music instantly reminded them that their current game project was drastically missing someone with the talent to compose a background soundtrack.
Without a proper soundtrack, the game they were building would end up completely silent and hollow.
With that thought in mind, the neat-looking teenage boy immediately caught an inspiration.
He hoped to ask the person singing and playing the piano for help to compose the music for his game.
But the exact moment they stepped into the Light Music Club and took in the scene unfolding right before their eyes, all four of them froze dead in their tracks.
They stood there completely bewildered by the sheer chaos taking place inside the room.
They were looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka, a teacher widely feared across the entire student body, actively executing a brutal physical hold on a student as if she were trying to choke the life out of him.
The four newcomers instantly panicked, terrified that they would be viewed as eyewitnesses to a crime and get dragged into the violence themselves.
In an instant, cold sweat began to slowly roll down their foreheads.
