Chapter 204: Art of Destroying Beauty

Sakuramiya Hinata at the side still maintained some calmness, explaining the cause and effect to Hikari, "Tachikawa, this guy, used the excuse of apologizing to us and deleting photos to trick us sisters into coming to the gymnasium, and even said there were so many people to testify. In reality, his goal was to deceive the two of us sisters to come here to assault us, and these so-called witnesses are all their accomplices."

Sakuramiya Saya also added, "Yes, just now they said they had already discussed it, that today they would gang up together to humiliate us sisters."

Looking at the vast, densely packed crowd, fear still flickered in the eyes of the Sakuramiya sisters. They immediately turned to Hikari and said in unison.

"Hikari-kun, let's run quickly and call the police!"

Looking at the still very frightened expressions of the Sakuramiya sisters, Hikari shook his head, "Call the police? That's too cheap for them. I've roughly understood the situation, the rest we'll talk about later, you two go out first."

If he left now directly with the Sakuramiya sisters and called the police, then at most this group of people would be charged with attempted r*pe. Given the situation in this world, they probably wouldn't even go to jail. Hikari naturally didn't plan to let Tachikawa and the others off that easily.

And hearing Hikari's words, the Sakuramiya sisters also vaguely understood the meaning behind them.

Although she trusted Hikari even more than her sister Sakuramiya Saya did, Sakuramiya Hinata couldn't help but worry and said, "Hikari-kun, how about we leave first, the people here are really... too many."

Sakuramiya Saya also said, "Yes, let's retreat first. Tachikawa has too many people with him today, we can't handle them for now. Let's go call the police!"

Regarding the worries of the Sakuramiya sisters, Hikari didn't explain much, only said lightly, "It's fine, you two sisters go with Natsuha and Akane-chan first, I'll handle things here."

Before the Sakuramiya sisters could say more, Natsuha at the side spoke up, "Don't say more, believe in Hikari-kun."

"Yes, Hikari-kun's strength is far more powerful than you imagine," Akane also said.

Hearing that the two girls who had always stayed by Hikari's side both said this, the Sakuramiya sisters didn't know what else to say, and could only agree.

"Alright then…"

Under the tugging of Akane and Natsuha, the Sakuramiya sisters left Hikari's side, turning away with some worry.

Before leaving, Sakuramiya Hinata couldn't help but remind, "Hikari-kun, be careful."

Sakuramiya Saya also said, "Hikari-kun, you must be careful!"

Akane and Natsuha, who already knew a bit about Hikari's combat power, weren't particularly worried and turned to leave with the Sakuramiya sisters.

Although they didn't hear clearly what Hikari said to the Sakuramiya sisters just now,

But at this moment, seeing Hikari letting Akane take the Sakuramiya sisters away, Tachikawa and the many beasts beside him naturally roughly guessed what Hikari wanted to do.

Seeing that after saying a few words to Hikari, the Sakuramiya sisters turned around and were about to head out of the gymnasium, Tachikawa and this group became furious.

Someone couldn't help but shout angrily, "Hikari, what do you mean by this?"

"Why let the four beauties all leave? Weren't you here to join the party?"

Someone sneered, "Join the party? I get it now, this guy wants to play hero saving the beauty, he wants to take the Sakuramiya sisters away!"

"How dare you! Daring to go against so many of us, let's kill him!"

"Yes! Kill him! Keep the Sakuramiya sisters and those two pretty girls here, let's enjoy them together."

"Hmph! As Tachikawa said earlier, this Hikari really doesn't know what's good for him. We kindly gave him a chance to join the party, but he wants to hog it all himself!"

"Charge! Let's cripple him, then in front of him, take turns on the two beauties beside him!"

As they shouted, this group of beasts grew more indignant and blood-boiled.

One of them, whose lust had taken over, a guy named Yamato, had even unbuckled his belt halfway, and at this moment couldn't help but dash towards the Sakuramiya sisters and the Natsuha and Akane who were leading them away.

Obviously, he wanted to stop them from leaving.

After all, ever since these beautiful girls arrived at the gymnasium today, these people had already seen them as objects they could enjoy at will, so how could they be willing to let them leave now?

But just as Yamato was about to rush to Natsuha's group, Hikari's figure suddenly blocked his path.

To this, Yamato only sneered coldly. As a member of the basketball team, he had a tall and sturdy figure, so not only did he not stop his steps, he even accelerated.

And seeing him charge at Hikari, Tachikawa and the others thought Yamato would knock down this guy trying to hog the prize, and all began cheering for him.

"Yamato! Go for it!"

"Take him down!"

"Slam him away!"

Hearing these cheers, Yamato, flushed with excitement, sped up even more.

But just as he approached Hikari, his vision blurred, and he suddenly saw a shoe sole appear before his eyes.

Next second, his whole body was lifted off the ground and sent flying backward.

Just now those cheering for Yamato, like Tachikawa, hadn't reacted yet, and were stunned to see that Yamato, who was quite large even among these beasts, was actually kicked flying by Hikari.

BANG!

With a loud crash, Yamato's body flew four or five meters back and slammed hard to the ground.

Seeing this, the people around Tachikawa were all dumbfounded.

Earlier, many were already thinking about charging toward the Sakuramiya sisters and Natsuha and Akane. After all, whoever caught them first might get the biggest prize. Looking at these four stunning beauties, they were all impatiently lustful.

But after seeing Yamato get kicked flying by Hikari, they realized that Hikari, whom Tachikawa had mentioned before, wasn't weak at all, in fact, he was extremely strong.

Realizing this, the crowd halted their steps, no one daring to charge ahead for a moment.

After all, the first to charge always gets shot. Hikari kicking someone flying like that, who wouldn't be scared?

Twenty to thirty beasts stood frozen, full of unwillingness yet some fear, watching as Natsuha and Akane casually walked the Sakuramiya sisters out of the gymnasium, hand in hand. Each one was incredibly anxious.

Seeing this, Tachikawa flew into a rage.

Sure enough, these were nothing but a mob, all cowards.

Tachikawa knew if he didn't speak up now, the Sakuramiya sisters might really just leave like that.

He immediately shouted, "No way, we must stop them! Otherwise if they leave now and call the police, just think what the consequences will be!"

"Do you all want to be socially dead, gaining nothing but being labeled as r*pists?"

"Think about it, there's so many of us here, are we afraid of just him alone? Even if Hikari can fight, can he take on dozens of us? Let's all go and kill him!"

Hearing this, the boys present finally snapped back to reality.

They had drawn their bows, and there was no turning back. Having participated in today's incident, it would be hard to escape responsibility.

They did need to stop the Sakuramiya sisters and prevent them from exposing this. If they couldn't turn them into what Tachikawa said, their playthings, then they were screwed.

And Hikari was just one person. With so many of them, there was no need to fear him.

"Tachikawa's right! He's just one guy, he can't beat all of us!"

"Charge! Kill this guy!"

"Everyone go! Beat him to death!"

The group of boys shouted to hype themselves up, and seven or eight people immediately surged toward Hikari.

Facing the charge, Hikari didn't say anything, and didn't seem to react at all, like he was scared stiff by the crowd.

This boosted the confidence of those who had been hesitant.

'Sure enough, faced with so many people, Hikari is scared.'

They no longer held back and charged at full speed.

But facing these human scum waving sticks and blades, Hikari remained expressionless. He simply activated some resentful spirit power to coat his fists, so as not to dirty his hands.

Then…

One punch! Two punches! Three punches!

Hikari's fists moved at speeds invisible to the naked eye.

Each swing was followed by the crack of bones, and someone would be sent flying.

Within seconds, the seven or eight people who charged at him were all taken down instantly.

Some had sunken cheeks, others clutched their stomachs vomiting blood.

Seeing Hikari standing unscathed where he was once surrounded, with all opponents down, the remaining people, including Tachikawa, were all wide-eyed and dumbfounded.

He twisted his wrist, then threw one last punch at the final, slowest attacker.

Boom!

A dull thud echoed in everyone's ears.

The last guy's abdomen caved in, and he was blasted back several meters.

Lying on the ground, blood flowed from all seven orifices. After a few twitches, he stopped moving. His chest stopped rising, no more breathing.

"D-dead?"

'Hikari's punch killed someone?'

Seeing this, everyone present, including Tachikawa, was utterly stunned.

These beasts, whose lust clouded their minds earlier, now stared pale-faced at the corpse with the sunken belly, their senses returning.

All that hot-bloodedness from earlier faded in the face of this terrifying sight.

"S-sorry! I was wrong, Hikari-kun!"

Someone was already trembling uncontrollably and began begging for mercy.

Another dropped to his knees.

"Hikari-kun... I didn't know anything, Tachikawa tricked me!"

"Yeah! Tachikawa brought us here, don't kill me, I beg you!"

"Hikari-kun I was wrong! Please, don't kill me!"

These arrogant beasts, now trembling, almost peed themselves. Their true cowardly nature was fully exposed.

Watching Hikari show god-like might, one against a hundred, the Sakuramiya sisters, who had just reached the gymnasium doors and looked back, had their eyes flashing with amazement.

'Hikari-kun… is really amazing!'

Natsuha and Akane were also mesmerized, 'One-vs-many and all are instant kills, incredible!'

Now that they were relieved, they turned and walked out of the gymnasium so as not to drag Hikari down.

This time, no one dared speak as the Sakuramiya sisters left, not even a glance.

Most people were kneeling, over a dozen of them adopting a submissive posture with foreheads on the floor, awaiting judgment from Hikari.

Only Tachikawa still stood, like a crane among chickens.

Hikari stepped toward him.

Seeing Hikari approaching, Tachikawa couldn't stop trembling despite not kneeling.

He never imagined that even with so many people, they still couldn't beat Hikari.

Thinking of the earlier scene of Hikari one-shotting dozens, Tachikawa's legs wouldn't stop shaking.

'This guy... is a monster!'

After coming to Tachikawa's side, Hikari simply reached out and lightly picked up the camera that Tachikawa had originally planned to use to record that evil scene.

While casually fiddling with the camera, Hikari asked Tachikawa offhandedly, "Tachikawa-kun, why are you so obsessed with the Sakuramiya sisters?"

Originally, when facing Hikari, who had just turned him into a cripple, at such a close distance, Tachikawa was trembling in fear, face pale and lips quivering, not daring to speak.

But when he heard the words "Sakuramiya sisters," he seemed like a different person. A strange light flashed through his eyes, and he said with a resolute tone, "The Sakuramiya sisters are the meaning of my life, Tachikawa!"

"Sakuramiya Hinata and Sakuramiya Saya, what a beautiful pair of sisters they are. Like lilies blooming in midsummer, and like snow lotuses blossoming in the cold of winter, so breathtakingly beautiful, so suffocating. And to personally defile and destroy such perfect beings, that is the most important thing in my life!"

"This is art. And those two defiled lily flowers are, in my view, the most beautiful works of art!" [T/N: He is mental at this point]

Hearing Tachikawa's firmly twisted words, the surrounding boys kneeling on the ground all shuddered.

Partly because they were disgusted by Tachikawa's perverted words, but even more because they feared that his words would anger Hikari and bring misfortune upon them.

But to this, Hikari only smiled slightly.

Looking at Tachikawa, whose eyes were glowing with madness, Hikari suddenly showed a smile, "Destroying something brings you joy, and that is what you call art. Then why must the ones turned into art be the Sakuramiya sisters?"

"Can't the one who sacrifices for art… be yourself?"
