Crossover Anime: Starting with Destroying Kengan

Page 34

Principal Adolf stopped smiling.

"Also, the assassins of the Wu clan were also ordered by me."

"but……"

Cachi!

A crack suddenly appeared on the desk in front of Adolf.

Other items that were directly above the crack, such as papers, were also severed.

Chapter 43

The floor-to-ceiling windows and doors were all tightly closed.

But the curtains behind Principal Adolf were still blown by the wind.

Looking at the deep crack that stretched all the way up to below my eyelids and was not far from my elbow, it looked as if it had been cut by a chainsaw.

Principal Adolf's face stiffened.

Looking up again, I saw that Yato had changed his posture at some point and was slowly putting his feet down.

"Principal, please don't speak so suddenly. Young people can't keep their composure and it's easy to cause misunderstandings."

"..."

Principal Adolf could only manage a wry smile.

He knew perfectly well that Yato was doing it on purpose.

But this situation was somewhat expected.

“I know you’re angry. Any normal person would be angry if they were caught and beaten up for no reason, let alone when it involves a life-threatening situation. Although I meant well, it seems to have had a worse effect, resulting in your serious injuries and hospitalization.”

"Even if you kick me away, I have no objection. As the principal, regardless of the reason, intentionally causing harm to one's own students is an unforgivable serious mistake and a grave dereliction of duty. But if possible, before you kick me away, I hope you can listen to my explanation first."

"If it weren't you sitting in front of me now, but some self-righteous fools, their heads would be saying goodbye to their necks."

Yato snorted coldly.

As Adolf said, he is not in a good mood right now.

He wanted to find the culprit who had plotted against him immediately and vent his anger.

Don't say things like, "I fought with Wu Huoxiong and he gained a lot of benefits. There's no need to fuss over such nonsense."

Yato knew that even without this kind of suffering, he could develop smoothly and his efficiency wouldn't be much slower. On the contrary, this life-or-death battle was too risky. If he made a mistake even once, he would be finished!

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether you were praising me or criticizing me.

Principal Adolf breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Yato hadn't lost his composure and acted recklessly, and even made a casual joke.

"Alright, tell me the specifics. Don't think this debt can be settled with just a few words. It's just that I can't think of a specific way to pursue this matter right now."

Yato's tone was low, and his eyes exuded a kind of oppressive aura unlike that of those in positions of power.

"I feel like Yato has become much colder and more irritable since Haruno graduated. Is it because he got into fighting? Well, if you want to know, I'll tell you the truth."

While silently lamenting his lost authority, Principal Adolf straightened his posture and explained the situation to Yato.

"I don't know if you've received any information from other sources. Right now, RU7, which is a consortium of seven of Japan's most prestigious universities, including Shuchiin University and Imperial University, is preparing to intervene in Japan's underworld."

"However, that's what they say. In reality, only Imperial University is truly interested in making this happen. The other six universities, including Shuchiin University, are not interested in unfamiliar territory that doesn't belong to academia."

"But the information I received is that someone is acting in the name of RU7."

A strange light flashed in Yato's eyes.

"That's because the higher-ups intervened."

Principal Adolf said in a deep voice.

He gave an answer that surprised Yato, yet was also quite reasonable.

"I see... In other words, the Imperial University is just a mouthpiece pushed to the forefront by the higher authorities. The real force that wants to bring the underworld under control is the official power. Shuchiin and other schools did not resist because they knew this, and even had to provide some cooperation."

Seeing that Yato had guessed the truth pretty accurately in a short time, Principal Adolf was not surprised. After all, things were not that complicated.

"As you know, although this country is not large, its foreign economy has always been among the best. A large part of the reason is the inaction of the higher authorities, which has led to the country going out of control to a certain extent. In exchange for such rich development results, it is no different from overdrawing one's life in a sense."

"But now that we're far ahead, it's time to rein in the runaway horse. So the higher-ups decided to take action against the underworld. The first to be targeted is the Kengan Association, which can easily determine the fate of most corporations and conglomerates, and even influence the economic lifeline of the country. Once the Kengan Association is controlled, it's equivalent to taking back control of the economy. The underworld's upstream source is also cut off. In the eyes of the higher-ups, the so-called out-of-control situation can be brought under control to a great extent in an instant."

"Just as you said, Imperial University is just a pawn, while the entire RU7 is the vanguard used by the higher authorities to attack the Kengan Association."

Principal Adolf's tone contained an indescribable heaviness, helplessness, and a hint of unspoken anger.

Yato knew that the principal did not want RU7, a purely academic organization focused on nurturing students, to become a tool for power struggles within the upper echelons.

Unfortunately, he was just a high-level employee hired by the council and had no real say in the matter.

Ultimately...

Shuchiin Academy was originally a cradle of geniuses created by the higher authorities to cultivate elites.

It wasn't just Shuchiin; most schools had the influence of higher-level government agencies behind them.

Only private schools established by families and conglomerates that don't have to worry about the higher-ups can remain unaffected, but doing so itself invites criticism.

If they are held accountable, they will not be in the right.

The reason why the higher-ups dared to so openly instigate RU7 to enter the Quanyuan Association this time was largely because they knew that no one would step forward to stop them.

As long as no one breaks the rules, the higher-ups are confident enough to overturn the Boxing Association with their own abilities.

After all, no matter how large your conglomerate is, it can't be larger than the entire upper echelons of government.

It's fair to say that the upper echelons of the government are the biggest local tyrants in this far eastern region!

Chapter 44

Despite hearing what Adolf said, Yato remained unmoved.

“I don’t care what the higher-ups want to do; I just want to know who orchestrated the screening operation.”

That's right.

No matter how powerful the higher-ups are.

They were all just background figures in this incident.

Only someone from the underworld would smash up a store because the knife they used to cut themselves came from there.

He has found the knife, and the conflict with him has come to an end.

Yato is now looking for the person who uses a knife and his accomplices.

Principal Adolf gave him a deep look, seemingly wanting to offer some advice, but then quickly abandoned the pointless idea and said directly:

"The operation was planned by Yukio Dazai of the Imperial University."

"He is a man with a fierce and stubborn temper, but who does not follow conventional rules. He is the president of Imperial University and the current president of the RU7 Alliance Representative Council."

"The large-scale agent selection plan launched in order to enter the Quanyuan Association was first proposed by him, and then it was approved and supported by the higher authorities."

Adolf paused for a moment before speaking.

"This plan has actually been in the works for some time. During this period, we not only searched for fighters with potential who were worth recruiting, but also contacted some individuals and groups to ask them to serve as examiners. When I saw your name on the list, I was honestly shocked. I didn't expect that you would become a fighter so quietly over the past year."

“My first thought was to remove your name from the list, but it was rejected because the department in charge of the review believed that you were an excellent candidate with enough potential to pass the final test and become our RU7 fighter representative.”

Should I praise their good taste?

Yato let out a dismissive chuckle.

"After being rejected, I took the initiative to contact the patriarch of the Wu clan through private channels and asked him to send a trustworthy junior to test you. This way, I could pass the review from above and ensure your personal safety as much as possible. But I never expected that something would go wrong with my 'one move' that I thought was foolproof. It's really ironic."

Adolf explained the cause and effect in detail.

Finally, an old man's face couldn't help but wrinkle, his expression quite complicated.

"If you had known this would happen, you would have been better off doing nothing. With your ability to defeat that 'Ghost Bull,' dealing with the examiners that RU7 brought would have been a piece of cake."

"Who knows."

Yato replied casually, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

He wasn't the type to hold a grudge, and the situation was already quite clear. It was obvious who to hold accountable, and there was no need to keep harping on this matter.

In this life, you can't always expect others to compensate you after you've suffered a loss. More often than not, a loss is a loss, and if you want to get revenge, you have to take matters into your own hands.

However, to prevent the other party from diverting their attention with a few words and using his own sword to kill people from the Imperial University, Yato decided to test the waters again.

"Your Excellency, I have a request, and I hope you can grant it."

"Oh? It's rare for you to make any requests of me." Principal Adolf was slightly taken aback, and said solemnly, "However, I am sorry for what happened to you. Whatever your needs are, as long as it is within my ability, I will do my best to meet them."

Yato had a faint smile on his face and looked no different from a harmless student, but the words that came out of his mouth froze Principal Adolf's expression.

"I'm not the only one who passed the assessment, right? If that's the case, there should be at least one final test after the preliminary rounds. Could you take me there to see it?"

"...What do you want to do? Now that you're safe, all I need to do is help you refuse..."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so boring, Headmaster. I just wanted to give them a heads-up."

Yato narrowed his eyes, observing the genuine astonishment on the other's face, and a plan formed in his mind.

He immediately turned around and prepared to leave.

It seems they didn't want to give Principal Adolf a chance to refuse.

However, when Yato reached the door and opened it...

They suddenly stopped walking.

Turning my head to the side, my glasses were shrouded in glare.

The half of his face that Adolf saw seemed to be covered by an indelible shadow.

The corners of his mouth seemed to be parted, yet also seemed not to.

Like a ferocious beast that is feeding, it bared its sharp fangs.

—That's not a human expression at all.

It was far from a smile.

There was not a trace of pleasure inside, only a strong killing intent!

"It's not up to trash to interfere in the Kengan match."

“I will exclude those who are not qualified.”

"In that case, they will be forced to accept it even if they are unwilling, ... the fact that they are the weaker party."

Click.

The moment the door closed, Adolf felt a light touch under his elbow, and the entire table in front of him suddenly split open and collapsed from the middle, the cut as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been cleaved by a peerless sword.

Looking at the table that had already fallen apart.

Adolf remained silent for a long time.

He had a strong premonition.

I seem to have done something unnecessary.

As a result, an already ferocious 'beast' grew to an unprecedented level on the edge of danger, and became even more lethal.

but……

There's nothing wrong with that either.

No?

Having more capable students means that teachers can confidently place more trust in them.

"It seems that Dazai's plan is doomed to fail... Of course, a clumsy old man like me has no right to come here and show off."

Principal Adolf sighed.
