My New Life

Chapter 29: Deal With Him

"Three cracked ribs, snapped fingers, and a severe concussion, even if you were doing it to avenge Dancing Demon, don't you think you went too far?"

"No, I don't. He who distributes punishment mustn't be afraid to receive it, you can't run from your sins."

"He's been hospitalized thanks to you you know? They say he hasn't spoken a word since coming to."

"What's the point? That same thing happened to my senpai."

"Don't you think he'll retaliate more aggressively?"

"He can try, but I won't lose to the likes of that man, no matter what he does."

"Alright! That's all the questions Kitsune has time to answer, if you want to request a private interview with him you may speak to Chairman Sakayanagi at a later date!"

I was ushered out by bodyguards after that, entering into the Limousine, sitting down next to Hashigaki.

"You did well."

"I should say the same to you, you did get third."

"Barely, that Maid is better than she looks when it comes to that combat stuff."

The door to the limousine closed, and immediately after Hasgihaki started jumping in her seat, ecstatic.

"EEEEEE! I made it to nationals! You made it to nationals! We made it to nationals!"

I laughed at her enthusiasm, deciding to keep my mask on even after Hashigaki undid her hair.

"Hahaha! Oh my god! I can't believe I actually made it! This is so awesome!"

"Want to see if we can get the bodyguards to grab us some drinks?"

"Non-alcoholic?"

"Of course, the last thing I want to do is piss off the school."

"Hehe."

Getting over her initial happiness, Hasgigaki slumped in her seat, a tired smile on her face.

"Wow though, you can tell how surprised the people handing out the trophies were, I don't think anybody has seen a score as high as yours."

I chuckled.

"Why of course, I swore I'd be the best, so I did my best."

The third test was simpler.

Basically, we were all placed in the same room, another obstacle room, and all had to race to get as many points as we could within twenty minutes.

Doing anything to another player resulted in immediate expulsion from the test, and gaining zero points no matter how many you had before.

We all had to wear a bunch of protective padding as well just in case, plus the tips of arrows were flat.

Basically, we had to search out targets and get them before anybody else.

By the end of it, I got a total of 910 points. It's safe to say I hit 10+ on each target.

Second place was Cupid Ai.

Despite the fact he wasn't able to participate in the third test, he had accumulated quite a lot of points in the second test, almost as much as I had, and finished with 530 points.

Hashigaki finished just behind him at 520 points.

That Maid was right on her heels though, she had 494 points, having done quite well in the third test.

But still, it doesn't matter how close it was, she got fourth, so she didn't get shit.

That sounded ruder than I meant it to be.
