“No!”
“Spare us!”
The two thugs cried out in fear, but it was of no use.
The two large hands on their necks yanked them back into the alley.
Outside the alley.
Passersby saw this scene and turned around, quickly walking away.
“Go! Go!”
“Something's going to happen in that alley!”
“Don't get caught in the crossfire.”
The passersby walked away from the alley, discussing as they went.
Their words reached the ears of a youthful, spirited female teacher.
“Hmm?”
The female teacher immediately froze, looking at the alleyway.
“I can't just leave this alone!”
She changed direction and headed towards the alley.
Crack! Crack!
The female teacher walked, clenching her fists, her knuckles cracking.
In her youth, she was undefeated in the entire Chiba Prefecture.
Her nickname was Iron Fist Invincible!
…
…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
From the alley, came a series of muffled sounds.
Not long after.
Two bruised and battered thugs were on the ground, kneeling neatly, their posture straighter than an elementary school student.
“Is this all the money you have?”
Higashiya Masayoshi counted the ¥100,000 in his hand, his expression disgusted.
The two kneeling thugs hesitated.
They were just ordinary thugs. To be able to extort ¥100,000 was already impressive.
But they thought of Higashiya Masayoshi’s fists.
The two quietly lowered their heads, not daring to retort.
You're the boss, whatever you say is right.
“Fine, I guess it'll last me a while.” Higashiya Masayoshi's expression was somewhat dissatisfied, sighing as he put the money in his pocket.
Just then, a tall woman walked into the alley.
She saw Higashiya Masayoshi putting the money in his pocket.
The young woman’s brow furrowed.
She glanced over, seeing a person lying unconscious on the ground, and two others kneeling in fear.
Hiratsuka Shizuka instantly understood that this was a bullying extortion!
“Watch out!”
Hiratsuka Shizuka roared, striding forward and swinging her fist.
Whoosh!
The wind of the fist whistled like a heavy hammer smashing towards Higashiya Masayoshi.
Higashiya Masayoshi didn't even look up, casually reaching out to catch her fist.
“What?!”
Hiratsuka Shizuka's face paled in shock. He caught her punch so easily?
She was naturally strong.
In high school, she could punch someone to vomit, so she earned a reputation for her prowess.
However, that also made her single to this day.
But none of that mattered. The important thing was that she could knock someone's teeth out with one punch!
But such a punch was casually caught by this young man.
‘Who is this guy?’
Hiratsuka Shizuka was cautious, staring at Higashiya Masayoshi intently.
“Huh?”
Higashiya Masayoshi, however, looked surprised.
The moment he caught Hiratsuka Shizuka's fist, his system sent him a notification about checking in!
【Ding Dong!】
【Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in Hiratsuka Shizuka, template progress increased!】
【You have acquired the skill: Intimidation!】

‘Check-in?’
‘Hiratsuka Shizuka?’
Higashiya Masayoshi looked up.
He saw a woman with a slender, upright figure, graceful and spirited, staring at him with anger.
He instantly understood.
No wonder she looked familiar. The young woman before him was Hiratsuka Shizuka, from the world of Oregairu, a Japanese language teacher at Sobu High School.
At that moment.
The two delinquents, seeing that someone had diverted Higashiya Masayoshi's attention, quickly carried their companion and fled the alley.
“Hey, you two wait!”
Hiratsuka Shizuka yelled at the two delinquents, wanting to uphold justice for them.
“Take a good look at what kind of people they are.” Higashiya Masayoshi released Hiratsuka Shizuka and said leisurely with a smile.
“What do you mean?”
Hiratsuka Shizuka was puzzled and looked back.
The two delinquents carried the man, ran out of the dimly lit alley and back onto the well-lit street.
Under the streetlights.
The three delinquents' yellow hair, earrings, and loose clothes were clearly visible to Hiratsuka Shizuka.
“This?!”
The anger and sense of justice in Hiratsuka Shizuka's heart instantly dissipated.
It wasn't bullying… wait!
Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes narrowed, she sternly said, “Even if they are delinquents, that doesn't give you the right to extort them!”
“This is called upholding justice!” Higashiya Masayoshi shook his head solemnly.
“Bullshit!” Hiratsuka Shizuka retorted, “This is called robbing from the robber!”
“But from the result, I punished the bad guys, didn’t I?” Higashiya Masayoshi shrugged, looking nonchalant.
“You…”
Hiratsuka Shizuka was speechless.
From the result, the three delinquents were indeed punished.
But you also stole their money!
Your justice isn't pure!
“What's your name, and what school do you go to?” Hiratsuka Shizuka took a deep breath, intending to properly correct the young man's misguided thinking.
“You guess.” Higashiya Masayoshi answered with a mischievous grin.
“I'll guess your ass!”
Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn’t help but swear, a vein popping out on her forehead: “Tell me now, or be careful of my fists!”
Hiratsuka Shizuka clenched her fist, her knuckles cracking.
It sounded very threatening.
But Higashiya Masayoshi was not afraid at all. He chuckled and clenched his fist as well.
