Chapter 80

"Ha...!"

A voice escaped from Wolf's mouth as Kojirou closed the distance in an instant.

Kojirou had already raised his fist, and all he had to do was bring it down.

It was over. Wolf thought so, but help came from the side.

"Explosion!!"

As Baan cast the spell, the space where Kojirou stood exploded with a loud noise.

The attack seemed perfectly timed, but Kojirou, sensing the fluctuation of magic, quickly leaped back to avoid it.

"Whoa, that was a bit dangerous, wasn't it?"

"Damn, it didn't hit with that one!"

Baan, frustrated, approached Wolf, who was near him, and apologized.

"Sorry, I let my guard down."

"It's fine. More importantly, he's coming!"

Wolf stood in front of the approaching Kojirou, while Baan took a step back and began to channel his magic.

"Hmm, you've separated into close and long-range combat. Good judgment."

"Hey, you'll bite your tongue talking during a fight!"

Wolf's relentless fist attacked Kojirou.

Wolf's attack was so powerful that it could knock out a grown man with a single blow, but Kojirou easily deflected it with one hand and kicked Wolf in the stomach.

The impact was so strong that it felt like an explosion. Wolf flew like a piece of paper and fell to the ground, unable to move.

Seeing this, Baan realized that the person in front of him was an incredible monster.

"But if I back down now, I'll be a failure! Take my strongest magic!"

An incredible amount of magic was released from Baan's body.

Sensing this, Kojirou stopped and waited for the magic to be completed, as if daring him to attack.

"Heh, sorry for making you wait. But I'll live up to the expectations of making you wait! Upper-level wide-range explosion!!"

An explosion far more powerful than the previous one attacked Kojirou.

However, he showed no sign of dodging; instead, he tightened his right fist and raised it.

"......Mun!!"

Then he swung his arm with all his might.

A tremendous wind was generated, erasing Baan's explosion spell.

"Y-You've got to be kidding me...!"

Baan was stunned by the unexpected turn of events.

He couldn't believe that his best spell could be nullified without using magic, just by this method.

Kojirou approached the stunned Baan and asked, "Do you still want to fight?"

Usually, Baan would have jumped at the chance, but he must have recognized the difference in strength, as he admitted defeat, saying, "No, I give up."

As the match ended, the students who had been watching gathered around Kojirou.

It was natural to be excited after witnessing such an incredible battle. The students of Class Z bombarded Kojirou with questions like, "How do you get so strong?" and "What kind of training do you do?"

However, among them, Luisha alone did not approach Kojirou and had a stern look on her face.

Noticing this, Kojirou approached Luisha and asked,

"What's wrong? Is there something bothering you?"

Luisha, asked this, thought for a moment... and then, as if making a decision, began to speak.

"...Yes. May I ask one question?"

"Of course."

Kojirou encouraged her with a calm expression, but his face froze at Luisha's unexpected words.

"Kojirou, you... you're not the 'King,' are you?"
