Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Destroying Balls
Hearing Hikari's words, the Sakuramiya sisters simply smiled.
After all, they could see that Akane and Natsuha had come together with Hikari, and it was only because Hikari said to take action that they did. In essence, there was no difference between this and Hikari saving them again.
Watching Akane and Natsuha still effortlessly taking down those towering male members of the Photography Club, Sakuramiya Hinata couldn't help but exclaim, "These two junior schoolmates... are amazing, their moves are so swift."
Seeing this scene and hearing Sakuramiya Hinata words, Sakuramiya Saya suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her mind, recalling the impressive battle achievements of Hikari across various clubs that she had previously heard about.
Sakuramiya Saya asked thoughtfully,"Hikari-kun, may I be so bold as to ask—did you teach Akane and Natsuha these skills?"
Hearing Sakuramiya Saya's question, Hikari glanced at her in surprise, then smiled and casually replied, m"More or less."
Upon hearing this—
Sakuramiya Hinata's eyes lit up, and she immediately said to Hikari,"Hikari-kun, could you teach me too? There are so many disgusting guys like Tachikawa around, I really want to learn some self-defense techniques."
Having been guided by Hikari, Sakuramiya Hinata had already started to perceive the danger posed by the minotaur-like figures in this world and wanted to improve herself.
Hikari looked at Sakuramiya Hinata and casually said,"It's not that I don't want to teach you, but reaching the level of Natsuha and Akane isn't easy."
Training the Sakuramiya sisters, helping them improve their combat ability, and then having them take down minotaurs to earn rewards for himself—of course, this was an excellent opportunity.
But Hikari was well aware that Natsuha and Akane had the advantage of a Pure Love Mark, which greatly accelerated their progress.
For ordinary people like the Sakuramiya sisters, even if he seriously taught them, it would likely take years before they could actually fight.
Hearing Hikari's words, Sakuramiya Hinata thought for a moment and understood.
Just like Kyudo (Japanese archery), both she and her sister were considered quite talented in it, but they had also spent a significant amount of time practicing before achieving any real proficiency.
However, Natsuha and Akane looked just like ordinary high school girls—
Only prettier, and with better figures.
But why were they so strong?
This must have something to do with Hikari.
After all, their common trait was that they all had an some sort of explicit relationship with him.
But since this was likely Hikari's secret, it wasn't appropriate to pry.
Sakuramiya Hinata glanced at the equally well-endowed chests of Natsuha and Akane, then couldn't help but lower her head to look at herself,'So Hikari-kun likes the extra-large type...'
Hikari, unaware that Sakuramiya Hinata was lost in some odd thoughts, was currently focused on observing the battle.
Since this was Akane and Natsuha's first time fighting, he had to be ready to step in if necessary.
However, the two girls, strengthened by their Pure Love Mark and his serious training, did not disappoint him.
Clearly, with these advantages, Natsuha and Akane had already surpassed ordinary humans in combat ability.
Even in a 2v6 situation—
Or rather, after taking down two opponents before they could react, making it a 2v4—
It was more than manageable.
Even when the remaining opponents started to resist, they couldn't hold out for long.
In less than ten seconds, another two members of the Photography Club were taken down.
Including the ones defeated earlier, only two were left standing.
Seeing how overwhelmingly powerful Natsuha and Akane were, those two immediately lost the will to fight.
They threw down their wooden sticks and attempted to flee.
Panicked, they ran in the direction of Hikari and the Sakuramiya sisters.
Perhaps they still held onto the foolish hope that, while powerful girls like Natsuha and Akane were rare, Hikari himself might just be a freeloader relying on them.
However, just as the leader of the two reached Hikari, before he could react—
He only saw a shoe rapidly growing larger in his vision.
A faint "Iku!" sound seemed to echo.
The two were instantly sent flying by a single Dragon Tail Kick from Hikari, tumbling back like skewered dumplings.
Looking at the six fallen members of the Photography Club, who were now completely immobilized—
Natsuha and Akane quickly ran back to Hikari's side to claim credit.
"Hikari-kun, how was my nunchaku skills just now? Was it as cool as in Hong Kong movies?",Natsuha asked excitedly.
"Hikari-kun, was my performance swift and precise? I didn't disgrace your teachings, right?",Akane also eagerly sought praise.
Seeing the two slightly tilting their heads, clearly waiting for compliments—
Hikari smiled and ruffled their hair,"You both did great. For a first battle, I'd give you a 90."
Hearing Hikari's praise, Natsuha and Akane beamed with joy.
Seeing them so happy, Hikari continued,"Though for a first time, you both performed well—"
"But, did you forget the process I taught you?"
Hearing this, the two girls froze.
Hikari explained,"You only stopped the bad guys' actions. But you haven't given them the punishment they deserve."
Realizing what he meant, Natsuha and Akane each pulled out a telescopic baton about two meters long from their bags—
And began a Nutcracker Execution on the Photography Club's minotaurs.
These tools had been prepared in advance at Hikari's suggestion—
After all, they didn't want to get too close to these disgusting minotaurs, nor did they want their weapons contaminated, so they had planned ahead.
The Sakuramiya sisters, watching the rather unrefined yet methodical technique of Natsuha and Akane—
And hearing the Photography Club members' agonized screams—
Were momentarily stunned.
After a series of painful wails—
Hikari nodded slightly,"That's enough. But remember, sometimes you can't treat everyone the same way."
"The mastermind always deserves extra attention."
Hikari borrowed Natsuha's nunchaku, then squatted in front of Tachikawa.
Seeing Hikari approach, the already suffering Tachikawa suddenly felt a chilling fear creep up his spine.
"You... what are you doing?"
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
Tachikawa shouted in terror.
Looking at the seemingly aware Tachikawa, Hikari chuckled,"You're smart. You should be able to guess."
"You like pretending to be artistic? Destroying beauty is your life's pursuit?"
"Then I'll make sure your shallow, fleeting life is forever devoted to turtle roots."
With that—
Hikari ruthlessly swung the nunchaku at Tachikawa's crotch.
"AAAAHHHH!!!"
A loud SMACK, as if eggs were shattered—
And Tachikawa let out a soul-wrenching scream.
Even though Natsuha and Akane had already carried out one round of deadly strikes earlier, their attacks were evenly distributed, and their strength was nowhere near that of Hikari.
Moreover, they lacked experience in "egg-breaking," and handling a two-meter-long stick was not easy, so their previous strikes had not been entirely accurate.
This gave Tachikawa a sliver of hope.
But now, with Hikari delivering a follow-up strike, Tachikawa instantly understood what it meant to be a true bakugan[1] warrior.
Hikari ignored Tachikawa's cries of pain and pleas for mercy and instead began swinging his nunchaku at an incredibly high frequency.
"A-da A-da A-da!"
Watching the nunchaku create afterimages as they swung through the air, Natsuha, who had seen a similar scene in a movie before, couldn't help but cover her mouth, her eyes sparkling with pink heart shapes.
"Hikari-kun… so cool!"
This scene, which was actually quite brutal, appeared completely different through the lens of love. To Natsuha, who had watched similar movies, Hikari looked more handsome than ever.
Although Akane didn't quite reach the level of having heart-shaped eyes, her cheeks flushed slightly as she watched Hikari's movements with serious focus.
She was earnestly learning from Hikari's skilled bakugan techniques.
Meanwhile, the Sakuramiya sisters, at first, found the scene somewhat cruel and terrifying, instinctively covering their eyes.
However, remembering how Tachikawa had repeatedly harassed them in the past—now even bringing people to ambush them—they no longer felt it was that brutal. Slowly, they lowered their hands and began to watch Hikari's "handmade meatball" scene.
After all, if not for Hikari's help, they would have already fallen victim to Tachikawa, that scumbag.
This punishment was nothing more than what Tachikawa rightfully deserved.
Once they realized this, Sakuramiya Hinata and Sakuramiya Saya felt a sense of satisfaction welling up in their hearts.
As they gazed at Hikari, who was skillfully executing his bakugan technique, their eyes filled with gratitude.
Hikari, however, paid no attention to how those around him perceived him.
As the God of Pure Love Battles, he took his bakugan work very seriously.
Diligence in one's craft was essential.
In less than a minute, Hikari had swung his nunchaku over a hundred times.
By now, Tachikawa's crotch was completely unrecognizable. The ground between his legs had even sunk into a small pit from the repeated impact.
The minced flesh and blood had turned from red to black.
If a neutered dog saw this, it would probably mutter, "Damn, that's terrific."
[Ding! The system has detected that the host successfully thwarted the bull-headed Tachikawa's scheme, rescued the Sakuramiya sisters, and effectively promoted the spirit of pure love]
[Reward obtained: Pure Love Points +100!]
[Ding! Due to the host's positive influence, Natsuha and Akane have joined the great cause of opposing bull-headed people, contributing to the construction of the pure love movement. This aligns perfectly with the philosophy of pure love.]
[Reward obtained: Pure Love Points +400]
Hearing the system's reward notification in his mind, Hikari nodded in satisfaction.
Sure enough, nurturing Natsuha and the others was proving to be very useful—the rewards were significantly higher than going solo.
Looking down at Tachikawa, who had already fainted, Hikari calmly stood up.
He walked to a trash bin and tossed his nunchaku inside.
There was no way he would let Natsuha use a nunchaku that had been tainted by Tachikawa's filthy body.
He'd just buy her a new pair when they got back.
Natsuha didn't mind at all.
Her eyes still gleamed with pink hearts, and as soon as Hikari stood up, she dashed over and clung to his arm.
If the situation allowed it, she would have asked him to give her a private lesson right then and there.
Seeing Natsuha approach, Akane quickly followed suit.
And noticing that Hikari was getting ready to leave after the fight, the Sakuramiya sisters hurried to catch up.
"Umm… thank you so much for your help!"
"Yes! Thank you, Hikari-kun! And thanks to both of you for stepping in."
Sakuramiya Hinata and Sakuramiya Saya both expressed their gratitude.
"It's nothing, really."
"We just happened to be passing by and couldn't ignore it."
Natsuha and Akane waved their hands, indicating that it was no big deal.
