"It is a bit of a shame. But Ran, you really can't participate in ordinary people's Karate Club matches anymore." Sonoko, for one, found it hard to imagine how miserable anyone standing opposite Ran would be. She felt that anyone standing in front of Ran was a half-baked amateur. No matter what technique they used, under the absolute crushing force of power and speed, it could not compare to the destructive power of a casual punch. Of course, this is only in relation to ordinary people. Ran's strength and speed are practically overwhelming. If Ran stood in the ring, then the person standing opposite her, even if they did not die, would be maimed. "So, I haven't participated anymore." Ran did not feel much reluctance about this, a smile still on her face. "Originally, I didn't learn karate to participate in many matches and gain recognition from many people. It was more about wanting to showcase the techniques I had learned." "But now, if I were to display the power I've mastered, it would truly turn into a horror movie." Ran was also aware that if she unleashed her full strength, her opponent would face a terrifying, crushing defeat. To avoid such a situation, it was better for her to semi-retire from the club. She would only participate in club activities when necessary, to help stabilize the internal atmosphere. As for the rest, she would wait until she had fully mastered the power she had gained. Kaguya imagined such a scene in her mind and could not help but nod in agreement. "Once we, who possess great power, participate in ordinary matches, it is simply a horror movie for our opponents." "It's not just a horror movie. If Ran doesn't control her strength well, a casual punch could make her opponent's life flash before their eyes." Ren, holding Sonoko's hand, could not help but retort. "Considering the power and abilities Ran has mastered, she's almost the type of ability user everyone least wants to encounter." "Like you, Kaguya, can you imagine your elementalization being punched back, and that punch directly hitting you in the chest?" Kaguya could not help but envision such a scene in her mind, and she immediately shivered all over. "I'd die, wouldn't I?" "That's right, you really would die." Ren fully agreed with this, and strongly affirmed Kaguya's self-assessment. "Ran, having already taken that step, even if she wants to find an opponent, she should look for opponents within the same circle." "So, if Ran wants to train in the future, she should come to us." "And for you, Ran is also a very good sparring partner." "Because our abilities are hard to harm Ran, that's why she's more suitable as a sparring partner for us to test our abilities?" Kaguya understood with a slight thought, and Ren also nodded slightly in agreement. "It's just that, in the current environment, we still focus more on internal training." It must be said that the environment is a big problem. By connecting with another world through the Sefirot, Ren had also learned that the world is not unique. Perhaps there will truly be opportunities to come into contact with other worlds in the future. But unfortunately, the current situation is not yet clear. Ren shook his head slightly. He did not dwell on this topic further. He squeezed Sonoko's hand. "Sonoko, you yourself said those were things that happened in stories, so why are you still so worried?" Sonoko, who had been trying to hide her feelings, instantly puffed out her cheeks and complained: "To me, that's impossible, but for you, hasn't it already happened?" She would not admit that the hero-saves-the-beauty story from fiction could happen in reality, at least not in her reality. But for Ren, it was a different matter. "Well, if I were to admit that this world still followed the trajectory of a story, I probably would care a lot." If it were his old self, Ren felt he would still care, but after recognizing the reality of this world, that it was not a story, he no longer cared about those things. Because such things would not happen randomly in this reality. "But as for what just happened, a pick-up artist who actively approached, how could that possibly lead to a subsequent story?" "Since I know it won't happen, why should I care so much?" Making cute sounds, Sonoko directly pounced into Ren's arms. "You should have said something earlier." Ren innocently embraced Sonoko, who had pounced on him. "Weren't you the one who first made me realize that stories are just stories? Why have you become unconfident yourself?" "That's not a lack of confidence," Sonoko said, pushing Ren's chest in dissatisfaction. Of course, she was not lacking confidence. "I just feel really awkward." Then she turned her gaze to Ran. "That guy completely ruined his identity, and he won't have any relationship with Ran anymore." Then she looked at Kaguya. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍 "Kaguya never had those feelings for the Student Council President, and besides, Kaguya transferred to Teitan High School, so they won't have any more interactions." "Only I haven't experienced it yet, so I feel very uncomfortable about what happened in the story." Knowing that she was rescued by an unknown male hero in the story, and even fell in love at first sight, made her feel quite uncomfortable. She was clearly attracted to Ren's looks and had truly fallen for Ren. That's why she was even more certain that nothing like what happened in the story would occur. But believing and being certain were useless. What she needed was a fixed fact. She did not want any blemish in Ren's heart. Looking at Sonoko's unhappy face, Ren smiled with emotion, then lightly kissed her on the lips. Sonoko's lips immediately curved into an arc, and her mood was clearly much brighter than before. "Hmm, much better now." Kaguya and Ran just shook their heads slightly as they watched from the side. Although they felt a little jealous, they could somewhat understand Sonoko's feelings, especially after Sonoko explained her thoughts. However, their peripheral vision also unconsciously glanced in the direction of a certain dejected person behind them. This time, the connection was completely severed.
