Intimidation!
Kaito Ren unleashed Intimidation. Zombieman, bracing for a powerful punch, was caught off guard. His mind went blank. By the time he reacted, it was too late.
"Number 200 wins!"
Kawana and the nearby spectators exchanged bewildered glances. In over a hundred matches, they'd never seen such a shameless tactic.
Kaito Ren, in full view of the crowd, had pushed Zombieman out of the ring while he was disoriented. According to the rules, Zombieman lost, and Kaito Ren won.
Had it been a close, exciting match, they would have applauded. But Kaito Ren's victory was, in their opinion, utterly shameful. It wasn't about the excitement of the fight; it was about the lack of sportsmanship.
"Hey, Kaito Ren, right? Can you fight like a man, fairly, instead of resorting to underhanded tactics and a lucky win?"
"Didn't the Principal say that Reserve Hero School students will eventually fight monsters? Will you use these cowardly tactics against monsters?!"
Kato In, arms crossed, leaned against the wall, a smirk playing on his lips. He not only called out Kaito Ren's name but also labeled him a cowardly, underhanded villain.
The crowd erupted in laughter and boos, expressing their displeasure.
Kaito Ren ignored them; they weren't worth his time or effort. Unless, of course, Kato In became a monster…
Speaking of monsters, Kaito Ren remembered the high-quality monster cell and two good-quality ones he had. Should he give one to Kato In and then defeat him?
He considered it but ultimately decided against it. It wasn't worth wasting a valuable resource on such a person.
Kato In, emboldened by Kaito Ren's silence, became even more arrogant.
"No response? You must have a conscience! Get out of here! Or I'll teach you a lesson!"
"Damn it, you insulted my Teacher!"
Saitama, unable to tolerate the insult, was about to charge forward.
"Saitama, stay back!"
Kaito Ren called him back.
"But Teacher, he insulted you!"
Saitama was furious and determined to avenge his teacher.
"Insulted? All I heard was barking! Saitama, remember, dogs bite, but you don't bite dogs! You're human; biting a dog would only make you dirty."
Kaito Ren's quiet words reached Kato In and the surrounding crowd.
"Damn you, who are you calling a dog?!"
Kato In's face turned livid, his eyes blazing, glaring at Kaito Ren, his rage palpable.
"Strange, I didn't specify anyone. Why are you so worked up? I've seen people claim godparents, but never a dog."
Kaito Ren chuckled.
"Damn it! I'll teach you a lesson!"
Kato In gritted his teeth, his killing intent clear. He planned to claim accidental use of full power to kill Kaito Ren, expecting the school to overlook it.
[Kato In wants to challenge you. What do you do?]
[1: Accept (Strength Enhancement Agent +30)]
[2: Refuse (Gain the "Cowardly" title; gain a perception ability to detect enemy strength)]
[3: Accept and defeat Kato In (Gain Strength, Constitution, and Speed Enhancement Agents +20 each)]
Kaito Ren was surprised by the extended third option, a generous reward of 60 points across all three stats.
"Three!"
Kaito Ren smirked, increasingly pleased with Kato In. He should have sought him out earlier.
"You…"
Kawana hadn't reacted when the challenge escalated, gaining the support of most students. As an instructor, she was powerless to intervene, especially since the school implicitly encouraged such displays to accelerate student growth.
Students from other matches gathered to watch.
"Kaito Ren, will he be alright?!"
Asaka Hanako, worried, watched Kaito Ren intently.
"Don't worry, Teacher will be fine!"
Saitama had complete faith in his teacher.
"Kaito Ren will win."
Hellish Blizzard, having just finished her match, offered her assessment. Kato In was strong, but Kaito Ren was also formidable; she knew from personal experience.
"I hope so."
Asaka Hanako nervously clasped her hands, silently praying for Kaito Ren's success.
"Kid, don't say I'm bullying you! I'll let you have three moves!"
Kato In's smile was cruel, his eyes malicious. He believed he could easily defeat Kaito Ren, even giving him ten or twenty moves.
This would also impress the other students, especially Asaka Hanako. He aimed to win her over, securing his future.
"You said it!"
Kaito Ren smirked, slowly raising his fist.
