Crossover Anime: Starting with Destroying Kengan

Yato looked at Narushima Koga, who was kneeling on the ground, looking utterly dejected, and made his announcement with the same calm as always, without any pity or joy in his tone.

"……hateful!"

Hikaru Narushima punched the ground in frustration.

He couldn't understand how a path paved with such uneven cobblestones could be so firmly secured, even if the soles of his shoes were glued on.

Can't figure it out.

Incomprehensible.

The 'facts' unfolding before his eyes were beyond the realm of his common sense.

"From today onwards, you are a member of our Fighting Club. Remember to submit a membership application later. Now, get in line."

Yato stepped past him.

The steps were light and steady.

There were no traces of glue.

But, looking at the footprints deeply embedded in the ground, Narushima Koga couldn't help but swallow hard.

It turned out to be no illusion.

This person has truly become embedded in the earth…!

Chapter 49

If you were to ask which teacher at Shuchiin Academy is the most popular, without a doubt, it would be the school nurse, Shizuka Marikawa.

He is under thirty years old.

She is beautiful, has a great figure, and most importantly, is gentle and understanding. Although she may make a few silly mistakes at times, it makes her seem more approachable and adorable.

In the health room.

Yato leaned against the window, watching Narushima Hikari sitting in front of Professor Marikawa, receiving treatment from him.

With his white hair and muscular build, Narushima Hikari looked like a delinquent student. At this moment, however, he was blushing and somewhat restless, not knowing where to look.

"I said, why don't you consider leaving the club and joining the support group for Ms. Jukawa? I think you seem to have a good impression of Ms. Jukawa."

As far as Yato knows, some students have already secretly established a 'Shizuka-sensei support group'.

Its purpose is to eliminate those with ill intentions and protect the goddess's purity.

Everyone knows that there are countless privileged individuals at Shuchiin University, and the combined efforts of just this small group have had a tremendous impact, even spreading beyond the university...

As a result, Shizuka Marikawa still doesn't have a boyfriend. Out of desperation, she joined Shizuka Hiratsuka's drinking club, where several older single women banded together for comfort.

"!"

Upon hearing this, Narushima Koga stiffened, his face flushed, and he hurriedly explained:

"N-No, that's not true! Don't talk nonsense, President!"

"So, you dislike Professor Juchuan?"

Yato feigned surprise.

"Oh...teacher, am I disliked?"

Shizuka Marikawa seemed to have a rather limited ability to discern jokes. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but look troubled, as if she was already thinking about how to improve herself.

"President! I never said anything like that."

Hikaru Narushima glared at Yato with a resentful expression.

If it weren't for the fact that he was weaker in combat, given his usual temper, he would have already punched anyone who dared to mess with him like this.

"Therefore, it's sometimes better to be straightforward. If you overthink things, you might not be able to accomplish what you're capable of."

Yato seemed to be referring to something.

"...Although it sounds reasonable, I feel like you're just trying to make fun of me."

Hikaru Narushima's lips twitched.

"It seems the medicine wasn't applied hard enough, Professor Juchuan. Please apply a little more pressure."

Yato turned to Shizuka Marikawa and said.

"Huh? I got it!"

Upon hearing this, Shizuka Marikawa immediately increased the pressure on her hands.

Incidentally, she was wearing gloves and applying her secret ointment to Narushima Hikari's back.

That hard press almost made Hikari Narushima jump up in pain.

"what!"

"It's one thing to be weak, but can't you even bear the pain?"

Yato said ruthlessly.

"...!"

Hikari Narushima clenched her teeth, her face turning red, and forced herself not to make a sound.

What he can't stand the most is being called 'weak'!

“That’s right.” Yato said leisurely, “There’s no way to get stronger without suffering. Putting aside everything else, before you learn how to fight, you have to learn how to take a beating. Only when you get used to pain will you not be swayed by the opponent’s attacks. So take advantage of this time to get used to it.”

"……I see."

Hikaru Narushima took a deep breath and nodded firmly.

Are you two students members of a combat sports club?

Shizuka Marikawa overheard their conversation and asked curiously.

"I suppose so. I hope you will understand if I cause you any trouble in the future."

Yato said politely.

"No, I'm also very interested in martial arts! And I'm not bragging, but I'm quite confident in my ability to treat sprains and bruises!"

Shizuka Marikawa proudly puffed out her chest.

For her size, she is undeniably a beautiful sight.

Yato took it all in without hesitation.

Unfortunately, Hikaru Narushima had his back to me and couldn't enjoy it.

However, Yato seriously suspects that, given this guy's naivety, he might end up like some naive and hot-tempered light novel protagonists, with nosebleeds gushing out.

"By the way, how did you get into this state?"

Yato asked casually.

“I was initially in the karate club, but after hearing about what happened to the club president, I was going to leave, but the manager wouldn’t allow it no matter what I said.”

Just thinking about this makes me angry.

"I know those guys think I'm good at fighting and might come in handy in future competitions, but I'm not interested in any of that fancy stuff. I just forced them to sign it. Then the vice president came and said I bullied his girlfriend and betrayed the club, so he challenged me to a duel."

"After I defeated him, he became enraged and ordered his men to attack me. In the end, I managed to drive them away."

In the end, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

The three major sports clubs at Shuchiin Academy, including the largest karate club, couldn't do anything to him. At most, he would get injured, but he would recover in a few days. If word got out, he would immediately become a celebrity at Shuchiin Academy.

However, Narushima Koga's smugness lasted only two or three seconds before Yato poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"It's a good thing it's karate, not kendo, otherwise you probably wouldn't be able to get out of here."

"what?"

I was stunned by Narushima Hikaru's words.

"Don't you understand? The karate club's goal is still to participate in competitions. Without protective gear, they usually hit lighter, and many techniques cannot be used. In other words, you've only beaten some harmless creatures with weak fighting spirit. What's there to be happy about?"

Yato glanced at him sideways and said irritably.

"...Mmm!"

Narushima Koga's expression froze, feeling as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly. He couldn't refute it, so to cover up his embarrassment, he quickly changed the subject.

"President, why are you comparing the Kendo Club to the Karate Club? If we're talking about protective gear, even if the Kendo Club members don't wear protective gear, shouldn't they subconsciously hold back?"

"That's right."

Yato readily nodded.

"However, the kendo club has a president who, even if he goes easy on you, you absolutely cannot beat him."

"What?" Narushima Koga exclaimed in surprise, "There's such a strong person in Shuchiin? Club president, who's stronger, you or the kendo club president?"

"If I told you she's even more amazing, would you go and become her apprentice?"

"No, no, that's not the case. I'm not interested in swordsmanship. I prefer the tactile sensation of punches landing on the flesh, which is very real and allows me to clearly feel my own power."

Narushima Hikaru, fearing that Yato would misunderstand him as a fence-sitter, explained with an awkward smile.

"Don't worry, working odd jobs in the Arena Club won't bury your talent." Yato felt it necessary to educate this guy about the strength of the Arena Club, so that he wouldn't only focus on himself.

"To put it simply, even if ten of you came at me together, you would still be taken down by the Kendo Club's president, Busujima, with his bamboo sword in no more than three minutes, unless you run away."

"what?!"

Narushima Hikari opened his eyes wide and gained a preliminary understanding of the strength of that kendo club president.

But the next second, his understanding was shattered by Yato.

"Just recently, the black-haired girl, Tenyu Zanzan, who came with us, defeated him bare-handed. Although she used a bamboo sword, in my opinion, even if she had used a real sword, the result would have been the same. And then... Tenyu lost a bet to me, which is why she joined the fighting club."

"Do you understand now? Not just anyone can join the company, even if it's just doing odd jobs."

Yato's gaze was indifferent.

Just being watched like this.

Hikaru Narushima gives me a sense of insignificance, as if I'm being looked down upon.

"Don't worry, President, I definitely won't let you down."

Hikaru Narushima clenched his fist tightly to show his determination.

The application of the medicine was completed quickly.

"Thank you so much, Professor Kikukawa!"

Hikaru Narushima bowed ninety degrees to Shizuka Marikawa.

"It's alright, it's my duty, but..." Shizuka Marikawa smiled gently, glancing at Yato with some hesitation.

"This student, are you sure you don't need treatment?"

"what?"

Hikaru Narushima stared at Yato in astonishment.

"President? You're injured?"

"No need, it's just some minor injury, it'll be fine in a few days."

Yato raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by Shizuka Marikawa's sharp eye, but didn't react much. He politely declined and then turned to leave the infirmary.

"Ugh."

Shizuka Marikawa sighed with a hint of melancholy.

"Another child who doesn't know how to take care of his own body."

"It's alright, Mr. Juchuan. The president seems perfectly normal to me. It shouldn't be anything to worry about."

I offered a word of comfort to Hikaru Narushima.

"Is that so? But I feel that your club president is in much worse condition than you, Narushima-kun. When you two came together, I thought I would treat you first since your injuries were less severe, and then he would treat his more serious injuries. Look, I've prepared all the materials." Shizuka Marikawa frowned and pointed to the bottles, jars, and various medical instruments on the table.

"...?"
