Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“Finally… Finally, it's over…”

At this moment, Yui Yuigahama, the Komachi sisters, Setsuna Ogiso, Yukino Yukinoshita, and Shizuka Hiratsuka all looked exhausted, clearly at their limit.

This special training was too torturous. Being in that kind of environment put too much mental pressure on them.

Especially every time, Yoru Hoshi would let them think they had escaped, and then suddenly appear, bringing them the strongest shock and stimulation.

Although Yukino Yukinoshita was the first to cry, she wasn't the only one. Setsuna Ogiso and Yui Yuigahama's reactions were similar to hers, except that Setsuna Ogiso and Yui Yuigahama didn't cry from being scared, but from what happened during the punishment phase…

As for Shizuka Hiratsuka…

When fear reaches its peak, it turns into anger. Although anger is useless, it certainly proves that the title of 'Iron Fist Single Old Woman' isn't just for show.

And Yono Yukinoshita and Kazusa Touma, although they didn't need to undergo mental trials, also went through some special training that night.

Natsuno Minamikazura's performance was the most outstanding.

Even though she was just a newly awakened soul-manifested ability user, her composure under high pressure was comparable to Miko Yotsuya's back then.

“Since everyone is tired, let's end this special training here and go back to the inn to rest.”

Hearing this, the women were all relieved.

Even the Overload Society's ability users, who had stronger physical qualities, had exhausted a lot of energy during the punishment phase. Truth be told, they were even more tired than those ordinary people now, and were already too sleepy to keep their eyes open.

After returning to the inn, about half an hour later, Yoru Hoshi's door was gently knocked on.

“Come in.”

Yoru Hoshi, who was reading the light novel 'Love Rhythms,' didn't even raise his head, simply responding casually.

Shizuka Hiratsuka cautiously opened the door and walked in. Seeing Yoru Hoshi sitting there, a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes, followed by a completely subconscious action—she didn't even understand why—but she gently closed the door.

“Oh, it's Shizuka-chan.”

Yoru Hoshi put down the light novel in his hand and smiled.

“What's wrong?”

“That… that…”

Shizuka Hiratsuka opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but suddenly realized that she didn't actually have anything special to say, or any particular reason to come looking for him.

After thinking for a long time, she could only find a random excuse.

“That… I came to see how your physical condition is.”

“I'm in great shape.”

“You fought that Izanami, didn't you suffer any injuries at all?”

Hearing Shizuka Hiratsuka's question, Yoru Hoshi pondered slightly, trying to explain in the simplest and clearest terms.

“Hmm… how should I describe it… For me, there's no such thing as being injured or not. After all, no matter how serious the physical injury is, as long as there's enough spiritual power, it can be quickly recovered. If I had to say, at most it's just a state of having full power restored, or a state of insufficient power, that is, a so-called 'mana bar' being depleted. You should know what a mana bar is, right?”

Shizuka Hiratsuka sat down on the edge of the bed, crossed her legs, and curiously propped her chin up with one hand.

“What is it? Explain it in detail.”

Yoru Hoshi saw through Shizuka Hiratsuka's little scheme at a glance, but of course he wouldn't expose it, simply explaining with a smile.

“The mana bar, in most games, refers to the magic power bar, and the red bar represents the health bar.”

“For ability users, the mana bar represents the spiritual power that can be used, and the red bar represents their own life state.”

“No matter what, even after just experiencing a battle, my health is full, that is, completely healthy, without any injuries. But the spiritual power that can be used is not necessarily the same. It can either wait for time to recover on its own, or it can be accelerated by devouring spiritual bodies.”

“Simply put, if you want to injure me, unless you first exhaust my spiritual power, only then can you cause damage to my red bar, that is, my health bar. Do you understand?”

Since Shizuka Hiratsuka could be a teacher, although she was the slacking type, she still had some comprehension ability.

“I see, so that's how it is. Has your spiritual power ever been completely exhausted?”

“Not yet at this stage, but there have been times when it was close to empty, like when I fought that big whale, and this time when I fought Izanami, my chest started flashing red.”

Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded, a look of worry on her face.

“You have to be careful… Never mind, even if I say it, you won't listen. After all, you're just such a student who never lets me relax.”

Speaking of this, Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed to suddenly remember something.

“By the way, there's something I need to ask your opinion on.”

“What's up?”

“When summer vacation ends, you guys will be going into your second year of high school, right? The school's idea is to have you be the outstanding student representative to give a speech to the new students.”

“Another speech?”

Yoru Hoshi was amused by this.

“What kind of speech, like the one you gave at Shuchiin Academy last time?”

Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed helplessly, holding her forehead.

“Whatever, even if I tell you to be normal, you definitely won't be even a little bit normal.”

She knew Yoru Hoshi's personality too well.

If he didn't liven things up when giving a speech on stage, then he wouldn't be Yoru Hoshi.

“As long as you agree to go on stage, that's fine. After all, among the new students entering this year, quite a few are coming because of you.”

“Huh?”

Seeing Yoru Hoshi's surprised expression, Shizuka Hiratsuka took out a brochure and handed it over.

"Here, take a look for yourself."

Yozora took the Sobu High School recruitment brochure. As soon as he opened the first page, a line of extremely pretentious gold-lettered words caught his eye.

《The High School with the Strongest Person!!!》

Yozora: "…"

He looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka with a speechless expression.

"Isn't this a bit too chuuni?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded in agreement, looking helpless.

"What's even more chuuni is yet to come."

Yozora felt a little curious upon hearing this and continued to flip through the booklet in his hand. As it turned out, this wasn't a Sobu High School recruitment brochure at all.

It was practically a biography of his first year of high school, but one that only highlighted the good parts and removed the bad.

For example, the fact that he was caught by Hiratsuka-sensei on his first day for carrying a weapon and allegedly threatening a female classmate, Miko Yotsuya, and was called to the office wasn't recorded. Nor was the incident of him beating up those male students who were gossiping about Rio Futaba in the hallway.

Everything written was positive.

《A sports prodigy who broke three school records in his first year!》

《The victor of the joint exams, the first student in history to defeat Shuchin Academy head-on!》

《A dazzling performance at the school festival! A perfect performance by three people!》

…

In the short dozen or so pages of the promotional brochure, 70% of the content was about Yozora.

Another 25% was about the Overdrive Club and its members.

The remaining 5% was some campus photos, with no interviews from the principal or teachers.

"Good grief, so the freshmen are really all coming for me?"

Yozora originally thought that Hiratsuka-sensei was just joking with him, but after seeing this…

The promotional brochure was all about him, so wouldn't most of the incoming freshmen who chose Sobu High School be coming for him?

"In short, just show your face on stage, okay?"

Hearing Hiratsuka-sensei's coquettish tone, Yozora frowned slightly, and said righteously.

"Why is an old woman acting like a maiden?"

Before Hiratsuka-sensei could swing her iron fist, Yozora changed the subject.

"Since it's Shizuka-kawaii asking, of course, I'll agree."

"That's great."

Hiratsuka-sensei breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she was a teacher at Sobu High School. Although she usually liked to slack off, she didn't want to miss this rare opportunity to bring glory to the school.

Besides…

Wasn't it also a chance to show off that she had such an excellent student under her wing?

Then, Yozora suddenly said something shocking.

"Sleep together?"

Hiratsuka-sensei was stunned for a moment, her face instantly turning red. She immediately wanted to refuse, but when the words came out, she subconsciously said.

"Okay…"

After saying that, Hiratsuka-sensei hid her blushing face in the blanket on the bed, as if trying to hide.

After a few seconds, she realized there was no movement. Her head was still hidden in the blanket, but she stretched out a hand and patted the empty space beside her, her voice slightly trembling with shyness.

"Didn't you say together… This side… is for you."

Yozora naturally wouldn't refuse. Although he wasn't sleepy, he still took the light novel written by Kasumigaoka Utaha and lay down next to Hiratsuka-sensei.

After a few minutes of silence, Hiratsuka-sensei suddenly poked Yozora's arm with her slender white index finger.

"What's wrong?"

Hiratsuka-sensei covered the lower half of her face with the blanket like a child, revealing only a pair of sparkling eyes, and mumbled in a shy voice that she tried her best to suppress, but couldn't help but tremble.

"What you said just now… that thing… I'm not an old woman…"

Yozora chuckled and replied.

"Hey, I'm just kidding with you. You're not old at all."

"Mm…"

Hiratsuka-sensei first responded, then poked Yozora's arm again with her index finger, and mumbled.

"But… but I really am… that… a virgin."

Chapter 343: A Promise to Shizuka-kawaii, Inviting Kaguya Shinomiya to the Island

Yozora nodded as if he had expected it.

"Of course, you haven't even been in a relationship, so of course, you're a virgin."

Hearing this, the originally shy Hiratsuka-sensei bit her silver teeth in anger, and the slender white left hand outside the blanket clenched into a fist, waving it in front of Yozora.

"You, you're deliberately poking at my sore spot, aren't you? I must…"

"Don't worry."

Before Hiratsuka-sensei could say any threatening words, Yozora chuckled and said.

"If you're still not married by the time you're thirty, I'll take responsibility and marry you."

"Eh…"

This sudden direct attack stunned Hiratsuka-sensei. It took her a long while to react, feeling her cheeks instantly start to burn. She pulled the blanket over her head, feeling shy and flustered.

"You… what are you talking about… Don't joke with your teacher like that… Otherwise, I'll really get angry."

"I'm not joking with you."

"Eh?"

Seeing that Yozora didn't seem to be teasing her, and based on his personality, he would never joke about such things, Hiratsuka-sensei cautiously poked her head out from the blanket, a shy blush on her cheeks, her eyes carrying a hint of awkwardness and anticipation.

"You… you want to marry me? Seriously?"

"You don't want to? Never mind then."

"Eh, no, no, no…"
