Souta arrived on the scene and saw a heterochromia girl with lilac-colored hair. This girl was familiar to him as he still recalled the assassination incident.
The most powerful students of the Ladro Institute, Yanagi Shina.
Yanagi was standing in front of Brando who was full of bruises over his body. Bryan was lying on a small crater on the side. Behind her, was several unconscious adventurers of various ranks.
Just by looking at it, Souta immediately guessed that Yanagi beat these people including Brando and Bryan. They were no match for the strongest student. Even though, Bryan and Brando grew stronger their power was still not a match to a person who will reach god-level in the future.
She turned her head and saw Souta looking at her. A wide smile formed on her beautiful face as soon as she caught Souta's figure in her field of vision.
Souta shivered as he subconsciously took a step back. He didn't know what this girl wants from his legion. Is she here to join the group?
"Oh, you're here my dear Souta~," Yanagi said in an alluring tone as she strode towards him.
Gulp!
Souta was nervous as he watched Yanagi in front of him.
Yanagi placed her face close to Souta as she looked at his eyes. "You're the most beautiful person that I've ever seen in my whole life. All the people in this world are no match for your beauty."
Suddenly, she threw a punch at Souta's face. Souta evaded her fist easily thanks to his quick reflexes that he honed every day.
"What should I do? I want to destroy you but I can't waste such a person like you. The other people broke easily before I could even have a chance to enjoy myself." Yanagi said in a charming tone as her mana spiked up.
Boom!
She launched several kicks and threw powerful punches but Souta evaded all of it as he quickly used [Agility Boost] and [Cat's Speed].
He then began to counterattack her as his mana covered his entire body. It enhances his physical abilities by several-fold. This was one of the things that he learned in the past week.
The two exchanged blows and everyone simply watched them with their mouth agape. They don't know how it started but they started to enjoy the battle in front of them.
At some point, they were cheering at Yanagi and some were cheering at Souta.
Lumilia, Lynn, Yujin, and Alice simply watched the battle with a dumbfounded expression. They were here before it started so they knew everything.
Yanagi arrived here and she didn't fall in line. She simply heads straight to Brando and asked about Souta. Brando said that she had to follow the rules so Yanagi beat him. The other adventurers and Bryan join the battle but they were utterly defeated.
After some time, Yanagi managed to pin Souta's hands. She looked at him with a faint smile on her face.
"W-What do you want?" Souta asked as he couldn't remove his hands from her grip. He was using every strength in his body but he just couldn't break free out of her grasp.
She's strong. Much stronger than he imagined. He was clearly no match even though he was using everything. If he used [Possession] or [Soul Blood Mode] he could break free but he didn't want to reveal his ace against her at this moment.
Peak B-rank, no, A-rank. Souta estimated her strength based on what he experienced today and the assassination incident before.
"What I want? I want you so can you give yourself to me~" Yanagi Shina said as she moved her face forward and placed her red lips on top of Souta's lips.
Hmph!
Everyone was shocked at this sudden development. Lumilia and Lynn quickly moved their bodies as they charged at Yanagi. They wanted to stop Yanagi from defiling their precious legion commander.
"Stop, Yanagi!!"
A loud voice echoed and everyone froze. A heavy pressure pressed on everyone's body that prevented them from moving.
A hand grabbed Yanagi's collar and removed her on top of Souta's body.
"T-Teacher Bargan...!" Souta was surprised to find Bargan here.
"I'm sorry for the trouble, Souta. This girl disturbed the opening day of your legion." Bargan apologized to him. At the same time, the pressure on everyone's body disappeared.
"Teacher Bargan is here. We are safe for now." Lumilia sighed in relief. She doubts that they could stop Yanagi if she was to rampage in this place.
"S-Souta's kiss..." Lynn muttered while looking at Souta. She was jealous.
"Ah, put me down, you dumb old man! You'll pay for this! I'm just playing with my dear Souta! There's nothing wrong with it!" Yanagi wagged her arms and legs in the air as if she was trying to break free from Bargan's hand.
"Playing? You call that playing? Okay, I will lock you once again in the bas.e.m.e.nt!" Bargan said as he looked at Yanagi. He then threw her in mid-air and flames covered her entire body.
"NOOO!!! Old man, I'll kill one day!" Yanagi's voice echoed as Bargan sealed her movements using his flames.
"Once again, I offer my apology as Yanagi always goes out of control," Bargan said to Souta.
"No need for that..." Souta said as he stood up and wiped the saliva on his mouth. "I did enjoy it quite a bit. Testing my strength against the strongest students is pretty enjoyable. Still, the disparity is large."
Lumilia and Lynn sighed. They were shaken when they heard the first part of his words.
"I doubt that you enjoy that small exchange. You could literally demolish this whole place if you use your skills." Bargan said while looking around at the damage in the surrounding area.
Souta glanced at Lumilia and Lumilia nodded her head even without listening to his words. She already knows what he wanted.
She stepped forwards in front of the adventurers that wanted to join the legion and said, "Due to some problems we will resume the recruitment three hours from now. We will fix the damages and pay the people who got caught in the battle."
The adventurers understood that some problems occurred so they don't have a choice but to turn back and return later after they settled everything.
"Ouch! I feel that some of my ribs have cracks in it!" Bryan said as he groaned in pain.
"That chick is the strongest in our institute after all. She's famous for unbridled action." Brando said as he stood up and patted his armor.
The two of them didn't have a chance to show their power as Yanagi knocked them out easily.
"Teacher Bargan, why are you here?" Souta asked Bargan.
"I'm here to pick this girl," Bargan said as he pointed at the girl inside the ball of flames above his head. "She said that she will not cause trouble and will simply join your legion but I didn't think that this would have happened. I shouldn't trust her words."
"Wait!" Souta raised his hand in front of Bargan. He checked his ears before asking, "Can you please repeat what you said before?"
"I'm here to pick this girl," Bargan said as he looked at Souta with a confused expression.
"No, not that. What's her reason for coming here?" Souta shook his head and asked.
"She said that she will join your legion," Bargan replied to him.
"Okay, we'll talk about it. Lynn, please escort Teacher Bargan to guest room also prepare some coffee for us." Souta said to Lynn.
"O-Okay." Lynn nodded her head.
Souta smiled and he turned to the group of people that were wearing the uniform of Ladro Institute. He was familiar with this group.
The girl in front of the group has green-colored hair that was tied in two tails. She had green eyes and snow-white skin. Her height was higher than him by a few millimeters. She had two dark cherry-colored antennas sticking out of her forehead.
Her name was Jeanne Livenest, the Vice-President of the Souta's Union Fans Club. She was his senior in Institute.
She had dark circles in her eyes and she looked haggard. She slightly opened her mouth and said, "U-Um... I-I'm sorry, Souta."
Souta tilted his head in confusion. He couldn't understand why she was apologizing to him. "Can you explain to me what happened?" He asked her in a calm tone.
She told him everything without hiding a single thing from him.
Basically, when Yanagi discovered their fan club she went straight to their club room, and when she found out that there's no president in the club and its rule. She said that she will become the president. Of course, the other girl rejected it so Yanagi used force to submit them.
When they knew that Yanagi wanted to come here, they tried to stop her but she was too strong for them as they knew that she would just bring trouble. No one could stop her among the entire group.
Souta sighed as he massaged his temples using his fingers. He the raised his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm not angry or anything."
Brando was looking at Souta with a deadpan expression. "Oi! Souta, don't tell me you want to create your harem here in legion?"
