Chapter 26 Killing Two People
The person who led the attack on Mikami was none other than Kaguya Tadahira, whose limbs had been broken by Mikami.
Since the day his limbs were broken, Kaguya Tadahira suffered a major blow to both his body and mind, and the mental anguish tormented him even more than the physical pain.
The Kaguya clan is brave and fierce, and they despise the weak. When they see Kaguya Tadahira being defeated by someone they consider insignificant, they don't think that Mikami is that strong; they only despise Kaguya Tadahira for being too weak.
Especially later, when Kaguya Tadahira's older brother, Kaguya Teppei, sought revenge against Yamori, he was defeated once again. The brothers became a laughing stock in the family, suffering countless taunts and humiliations every day.
Those humiliations were like sharp spears, piercing Kaguya Tadahira's heart with countless holes. As a result, Kaguya Tadahira's resentment towards Mikami grew daily.
From then on, Kaguya Tadahira underwent self-torture-like training, and every night when she slept, she dreamed of tearing Mikami to pieces.
When he learned about this training, he had already gone to great lengths to kill Mi Shou.
Knowing he might not be a match for Mi Shou, he prepared some money and equipment and recruited some companions.
These days, these people are also killing people everywhere.
People you usually dislike, or people you already have grudges against, can now settle their scores and grievances.
They now outnumber and outgun their enemies, killing more and more people and becoming completely accustomed to the act and feeling of killing. This is the purpose and value of this training.
During the past few days of hunting, Kaguya Tadahira kept inquiring about the whereabouts of Yagami. Later, he learned Yagami's location from a prisoner and was very excited. He immediately led his men to attack.
"Hahaha, now that all three of you are here, it saves me the trouble of searching for you one by one. We can deal with you all at once. Especially you, Mi Shou, I will repay you a hundredfold for what you did to me!"
Kaguya Tadahira looked at Mikami, her heart filled with intense emotions. A mix of feelings—intense hatred, painful memories, and the exhilaration of finally getting revenge—made her face tremble slightly.
"So that's Mi Shou. I heard you guys were all beaten up by him. Tsk tsk, you look so ordinary. You guys are really weak."
Among Kaguya Tadahira's group were people from other classes who didn't know Mikami. Now that they saw that Mikami wasn't tall and mighty, nor did he have three heads and six arms, they started mocking the few people who had been taught a lesson by Mikami.
One of Mimori's classmates recalled that painful experience and couldn't help but rub his stomach, as if the spot where Mimori had once beaten him was still aching. He then angrily cursed the person who had mocked him.
"Idiot, he's not one of those weaklings we've encountered, but a man-eating tiger. If you don't want to get killed, don't be careless."
This statement resonated with many people, especially Mi Shou's classmates, who were on high alert.
"That's right, be careful. He was extremely ruthless at school, and now that he's capable of killing, he definitely won't hold back."
"We must attack with all our might and not give him any chance to turn the tide."
"If we don't kill him, none of us will survive!"
Seeing how serious they were making it sound, the others also stopped being dismissive, but their thoughts were all different.
Some people were arrogant and resentful to see so many people fearing Mi Shou. They planned to kill Mi Shou later to show everyone their strength.
Some people glanced around, observing their surroundings, preparing to wait a while and let others fight Mi Shou first, while they would adapt to the situation.
Some people, however, had no particular thoughts; they had become addicted to killing these past few days and just wanted to see scenes of blood splattering everywhere.
Mi Shou stood on the rock, his eyes darting around, carefully observing the enemy's positions, expressions, weapons and equipment, rapidly gathering and analyzing intelligence in his mind in order to formulate appropriate tactics, while on the surface he was very arrogant.
Facing the enemy ahead, Mikami raised his short sword and made a light slash from left to right, his expression one of pure joy, his voice booming.
"I was just thinking of killing someone today, and you brought me the head. I'm very grateful, so I'll accept it without hesitation."
As he spoke, Mikami deliberately glanced at Kaguya Tadahira's limbs, which once again stirred up Kaguya Tadahira's painful memories.
Kaguya Tadahira was furious. She gritted her teeth and spat out the words: "Kill him!"
Immediately, Kaguya Tadahira charged out first, wielding bone spikes, and the others followed suit.
Seeing that the enemy outnumbered him, Mikami knew that if he were surrounded and focused on, he would not fare well either. So instead of retreating, he advanced and charged toward the enemy's left flank, ignoring the menacing Kaguya Tadahira.
Although the terrain here is relatively flat, it is still part of the hills, with undulating terrain and many rocks, trees, and grass, which provide good cover and shelter.
Mi Shou planned to take advantage of these terrain features and divide the battlefield into several smaller battlefields through mobile warfare, preventing the enemy from forming an encirclement. He would then defeat the enemy piecemeal through mobile warfare.
This is the helplessness of not being strong enough. If he had enough strength, he could just stand still and output damage, which would be really awesome.
"Let's go too!"
Seeing Mimori launch his attack, Takano Hiroshi glanced at his younger brother, his eyes filled with worry and reluctance, but even more so with determination.
Knowing his own weakness and that he wouldn't be able to hold out for long, he resolutely charged towards the center where the enemy was the most numerous.
He was already prepared to die, trying to hold off as many enemies as possible to buy time for Mi Shou to kill, and also to give his younger brother a better chance of survival.
"Big brother!"
Looking at his elder brother's retreating figure, Takano Ishi knew his brother's feelings. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he grabbed his weapon and rushed towards the enemy's right flank.
Some of the enemy knew the Takano brothers and told those around them that the Takano brothers were very weak and not worth taking seriously. However, they did not expect that the two brothers were so fearless that they would trade wounds for wounds and lives for lives.
Faced with this reckless fighting style, the enemy was momentarily thrown into disarray. The Takano brothers successfully held off four or five enemies, relieving the pressure on Yamori.
Mi Shou's fighting style is efficient and ruthless, with no superfluous movements. Every move is aimed at the opponent's vital points, and he quickly killed three people in a row.
The first victim was a chubby boy. He didn't know much about Mi Shou's strength. When he saw Mi Shou rushing towards him, he thought that his companion was right next to him. He thought that as long as he could hold off Mi Shou for a few seconds, he could get support from his companion and then kill Mi Shou.
In short, the chubby boy felt that he had the upper hand and shouldn't be afraid.
Then, the chubby boy felt Mi Shou's powerful strength. The kunai in his hand was knocked away. Then, Mi Shou twisted his wrist slightly, and the blade sliced through half an arc, easily cutting open the chubby boy's throat.
The chubby boy clutched his throat with both hands, blood gushing from between his fingers, and collapsed with his eyes wide open.
The second victim was right next to the chubby boy. He originally wanted to help the chubby boy attack Mi Shou, but he was shocked to find that Mi Shou killed the chubby boy in one move.
At that moment, he had already thrust out a kunai with his right hand, and it was too late to change his move. Mikami first severed his right arm, and then his head.
The third victim, seeing Mi Shou kill two people in a row, was afraid and dared not fight Mi Shou in close combat. He turned around and tried to create distance, but Mi Shou threw a short knife directly at him. The knife pierced through his chest and the victim fell to the ground.
