Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City

Chapter 9: The protagonist is ignored

"Are you bitten?" Isao asked. 

"Of course not!" the girl quickly answered flusteredly, as she didn't want to be bashed by a baton.

"That's good. Don't stand. Rest there for a while." 

After hearing that the girl was okay, Isao looked at the group of those "things" that remained. He moved toward one of them and smashed his baton into its neck. 

*Crack!*

The sound of breaking bound echoed through the corridor, but even so, it was still alive. 

"A-Attack the head! Only if you hit the head will it die! It's meaningless if you hit the other parts of its body!"

The girl shouted, trying to remind Isao even if she was still nervous and frightened of what had happened to her previously. She could feel something warm on her face, and it should be the blood of the one that was hit by Isao, but even so, she wasn't going to let this guy die due to a small mistake. 

Isao knew that, but he just wanted to try. Still, as expected, only the head was effective. As long as he hit the head, those "things" were as good as gone. At the same time, he had to say those "things" were pretty weak. Even if he didn't hit them with all of his might, but with just enough force, they stopped moving directly. 

Yet, watching Isao, who moved quietly and took down those "things" one after another with a baton, whether it was Kyoko, the girl, or the boy, was in a daze.

This guy was so strong! 

Moreover, what was wrong with his mental fortitude? 

It was as if... he treated them like bugs since his face was so flat that it made the girl speechless. She could even tell that he did research, trying to check which parts of the head or whether there were other parts of those "things" that could be used to take them down effectively. 

Isao could do all of that calmly, without fear, and naturally, those three weren't the only ones who were attracted by him; many others who were attracted by the girl's noise also watched his one-man army show, taking down all of those "things" alone. 

Still, after he had taken down all of them, he didn't go back to the others. Instead, he squatted down and observed the corpse of those "things." He even touched it and opened its mouth with his baton, staring at the inside of its mouth. While he might appear to observe it, he also tried to use his ability to see whether he could absorb its DNA without absorbing it into his body as he did with Kyoko. 

[Do you want to absorb Mizusu Ayami's DNA?]

"...." 

Should he?

In the end, he didn't dare to since he was afraid that the corpse might be absorbed into his body. By then, how could he explain? Frankly, he felt that it might be better for him to be alone, but as expected, the taste of companionship was nice, and he still upheld his promise to become a good guy by protecting Kyoko, so he didn't leave by himself. 

However, he wanted more time to learn and understand his ability. 

Yet, he wasn't in a hurry since the days were long, and he could learn his ability anytime. 

"Isao, are you okay?" 

Even without turning his head, Isao knew whose voice this was. Moreover, he was also familiar with the scent that came out from this person, as it even stuck to his body. 

"I am okay, Sensei." 

"What are you doing?" 

However, he was unfamiliar with this voice. Still, he knew that this was the voice of a woman. "I am checking." It was impossible for him to tell the truth about what he was doing, so he knew that he had to make an excuse. 

"Checking?" 

"Yup, I wonder whether this thing is a dead body moved by something like a parasite or become a new creature." 

"Is there a difference?" 

The woman seemed confused, but when Isao nodded, he looked at the woman who asked him this question. "There is. If this is a dead body moved by something, then as long as we wait for a while, those "things" should stop moving as their bodies rot, but if this is a new creature—" 

Still, he had to say this young woman was beautiful. She had long purple-flowing hair, a unique triangle fringe, a tall and buxom figure, shiny pink lips, and an alluring face. 

"Then, no matter how long it is, it won't die and keep living." 

Isao looked at the pink-haired girl who he had saved and nodded. "Yes, whether it is summer or winter, we should expect that they will be living well and walking around like nothing." 

"..." 

When they heard his words, everyone fell into silence and felt a sense of dread, thinking that their future was surrounded by those "things." 

"Th-Then, how is it? Have you found out which type those "things" are?" Another girl, who came during the commotion, asked desperately. 

Isao looked at this girl, whose waist-length orange-brown hair had two strands stuck out on the top of her head. She had reddish-brown eyes and a slender figure with ample breasts.

Inwardly, he sighed since he didn't expect to meet the protagonist group. He thought that he wouldn't meet them, but as expected, as someone who was reincarnated into this world, he knew that he would meet them based on his luck. 

If it was before, he might leave them since being with a protagonist would bring nothing but trouble, but as he had become a "good person," he knew that he had to help them, and this definitely had nothing to do with his interest in a few within this group. 

Really! Believe him!

"No, I haven't. I don't have a tool, after all. Moreover, I am not professional. However, even if they have become new creatures, it doesn't matter since they are pretty weak. You only need to smash their head with just a small force and blind, and as long as you walk quietly, they won't notice you." 

"...." 

Everyone fell into silence when they heard Isao's words. 

"Huh? Really? They won't notice us if we keep silent?" 

"Yes." Isao nodded, then looked at Kyoko. "Right, Sensei?" 

"Yeah." Kyoko nodded. "We have been walking around the school. As long as you are all quiet, they won't notice you." 

'If I knew this information before...' 

Many had such thoughts on their minds, and they felt depressed when they thought that they only knew this information now, but would they believe Isao's words?

Naturally. 

While Isao hadn't introduced his name, all of them were familiar to him, especially when he was the representative of the first grade. With his handsome appearance, gentle attitude, and smart brain, he was simply their new crush. 

Or rather, he might be the most popular guy in the school!

Moreover—

"By the way, do you two really have an affair?" 

Suddenly, a bimbo with the largest bust Isao had ever seen, and waist-length blonde hair innocently asked that question to Isao and Kyoko. 

"...." Everyone. 

Isao's lips twitched, wondering why someone asked him such a question when there was still a danger that lingered around them. 

"...do you have to ask such a question here at this moment, Marikawa-sensei?" Kyoko looked at Shizuka Marikawa, the school nurse of their school, speechlessly. 

"Eh? But? Everyone was rather loud at that time. I am curious..."

Moreover, Isao and Kyoko had always been together, so Shizuka couldn't help but ask that question. 

"Let's put that question aside now." The young woman with purple hair sighed helplessly, then looked at Isao. "I am grateful for the information, Iinuma-kun. My name is Busujima Saeko of 3-A." 

"Do you know my name, Senpai?" Isao felt strange when one of the heroines knew his name. After all, shouldn't all the attention usually be on the protagonist instead of him?

Her expression was slightly stiff, but then she smiled and said, "I think there is no one in this school who doesn't know about you." 

"You are right." Isao nodded in understanding since he also understood how famous he was. "Anyway, let me introduce myself, Senpai. I am Iinuma Isao from 1-A. I am also rumored to have an affair with Hayashi-sensei. Nice to meet you." 

"....." 

What a unique introduction... everything thought speechlessly. Still, with how he introduced himself, they knew that his relationship with Kyoko was a rumor.

Meanwhile, Kyoko was speechless, but looking at everyone's reaction, she knew that no one would ask this strange, strange rumor once again. Well, it wasn't a rumor, but it was more exciting to keep it quiet, right?

However, Saeko only laughed, softly accepted his handshake, and held his hand firmly. "Likewise, Iinuma-kun." 

[Do you want to absorb Saeko Busujima's DNA?]

"??????"
