Chapter 10: SDOPM: Chapter 10
"That's the teacher's wife, right?! Nice to meet you, Ma'am. I'm Saitama, the teacher's new disciple. Please take care of me."
Saitama, his face bruised, saw Asaka Hoko approaching Kaito Ren and immediately assumed she was his wife.
…
"Don't be absurd! Asaka Hoko and I only met once. There's nothing between us!"
Kaito Ren facepalmed. Saitama was too bold. While Asaka Hoko was his type, they'd only met once. Who knew what the future held?
"Oh?! I'm so sorry! I thought she was your wife, Teacher."
Saitama apologized profusely.
"It's alright."
Asaka Hoko secretly glanced at Kaito Ren, her face reddening as she lowered her head. Marrying him… would probably be very happy, wouldn't it?
Oh my god! What was wrong with her?! Why was she thinking such things?! She was here to check on Kaito Ren's safety!
Asaka Hoko shook her head vigorously, forcing herself to calm down, pushing away her stray thoughts. She avoided looking at Kaito Ren, fearing she'd start fantasizing again.
"Um, Kaito Ren, you and your disciple should leave. I heard the Back-Brawler Gang is coming."
"Don't underestimate them! They're a powerful group; many can defeat monsters. You two are no match for them. Staying here is dangerous."
"The Back-Brawler Gang? They're already here."
Kaito Ren shrugged nonchalantly.
"What?! Where?! Where are they?!"
Asaka Hoko looked around nervously. She had to reveal her identity, hoping her status would spare Kaito Ren and Saitama.
"They came and left."
Kaito Ren explained simply.
"What do you mean, they came and left?!"
Asaka Hoko was confused. According to Kaito Ren, the Back-Brawler Gang had attacked and left before she arrived. But if that were true… how was Kaito Ren unharmed? When did the Back-Brawler Gang, known for their brute strength, become peace negotiators?
"My brother was 'taken care of' by you! Now, Big Bro Back-Brawler Black Hole will play with you!"
The Back-Brawler Gang reappeared, led by Back-Brawler Black Hole! The unconscious Back-Brawler Tiger followed, glaring at Kaito Ren with resentment.
Back-Brawler Tiger glared at Kaito Ren, gnashing his teeth. He'd been humiliated in front of everyone. He'd get revenge!
"Back-Brawler Black Hole, I'm Asaka Hoko. They're my friends. Please don't…"
Asaka Hoko's heart sank at the sight of the gang. She bravely stood before Kaito Ren, revealing her identity to protect him.
"Oh?"
Back-Brawler Black Hole's brow furrowed, a cunning glint in his eyes.
"Kuri, Miss Hoko is in danger! Save her!"
With a sinister smile, he turned to a female member.
"Yes!"
Kuri, with a ponytail, quickly grabbed Asaka Hoko before she could react.
"You dared to kidnap Miss Hoko! I'll kill you!!!"
With a roar, Back-Brawler Black Hole unleashed his power, cracking the ground. He charged at Kaito Ren.
"No, it's not like that! I wasn't kidnapped…"
Asaka Hoko tried to explain, but it was too late. The fight had begun.
Seeing Kaito Ren standing motionless, Back-Brawler Black Hole grinned.
"Die! You're too greedy! You dared to touch Miss Hoko! She's mine!"
"You think you're worthy?"
Kaito Ren finally moved, punching Back-Brawler Black Hole in the face.
What…? How…?
Back-Brawler Black Hole hadn't reacted when the punch landed. He was running at full speed, yet Kaito Ren had matched his speed and even countered faster. Impossible!
Back-Brawler Black Hole lost consciousness. His body rolled across the ground.
The gang members were stunned. Their leader, Back-Brawler Black Hole, had been defeated?! By an unknown kid?! Who was he?!
Asaka Hoko, who had been trying to stop the fight, stood there, dumbfounded. Even witnessing it, she couldn't believe it. Kaito Ren had defeated Back-Brawler Black Hole with one punch. Who was this guy?! How was he so strong?!
Kaito Ren nodded in satisfaction. System-made, truly top-notch! He'd used the Martial Artist Combat Techniques' "Borrowed Force" technique. Most of the force was Back-Brawler Black Hole's own. Even if he'd won otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy.
"Help! Save me!"
"Mom, I want to go home!"
"It's terrifying!"
"Run!"
Seeing Kaito Ren, the gang members panicked and fled.
Kaito Ren shook his head. Since Black Hole and Tiger weren't monsters, there was no reward. He'd wasted his time.
"The Back-Brawler Gang… came and left like that too?!"
Asaka Hoko finally recovered, staring at Kaito Ren in disbelief.
