Chapter 14: Acting
"You!" The yellow-haired boy glared angrily. He roared as if he could scare the other party with his show of strength. He stepped forward with his left foot and threw out his right fist straight at Takashi Komuro's slightly handsome face.
"Bang - Ah - Chi --"
Rei Miyamoto, who was behind Takashi Komuro, was the first to react. His body flashed in front of him. The homemade long spear in her hand swept and hit the yellow-haired boy's abdomen, making him curl up like a steaming red shrimp. The huge force made his stomach liquid continuously churn before he was forced to spit it out.
If Rei Miyamoto's strength were used against a zombie's, she probably wouldn't get the advantage. But if it were applied to a normal person, even if she didn't use her full strength, she would still beat them to a pulp. Years of spear arts training made her the club leader among a group of boys. Her strength was undeniable.
The strength of her homemade long spear transmitted through his body again. The strong force was not something the yellow-haired boy, who had just spat out stomach fluid, could withstand steadily.
"Bang -"
The yellow-hair boy weighed more than a hundred pounds, but he was still was directly smashed into the air. He fell half a meter back before falling to the ground. He covered his abdomen with both hands. The intense pain made him unable to speak. His face was red, and he fell to the side.
A small piece of filth left his body. The pungent smell of stomach fluid made Kurumi frown with dissatisfaction. She considered that the smell of blood to be better than this. A sour smell filled the tip of her nose.
"Scum!" Facing the yellow-haired boy, Rei Miyamoto put her spear aside, and his cold and hateful tone made Takashi Komuro, who was behind her, a little stunned.
"Pa -" "What great cooperation, Takashi, Miyamoto." At the back of the bus, Koichi Shido seemed to have seen hope again, hope of becoming the leader of this group.
Walking forward, he clapped his hands and looked at Takashi Komuro and the other two as if he was sighing. His elbow leaned against the seat on the side, supporting his body, showing arrogance and humility. Two contradictory expressions appeared on his face, making Takashi Komuro want to rush up and punch him.
"However, such a dispute proves the correctness of my opinion." His upper body bowed slightly, and the disgusting face appeared in front of Rei Miyamoto again, looking at Rei Miyamoto, who was a little shorter with a strange smile.
"We really need a leader."
"Then, there is only one choice?" Saya Takagi pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and glanced at Koichi Shido from the corner of his eye.
"I am a teacher, Saya, and everyone here is a student." Koichi Shido still looked at Saya Takagi with a smile on his face, making her turn away with a sullen look.
"This alone is enough to decide who is qualified." Koichi Shido straightened up, and his voice continued to rise, "If you don't choose me, can you think of a method that does not cause any problems?" Turning around, Koichi Shido, who looked like an outstanding candidate, looked at the students who were at a loss.
Lying on the ground, the yellow-hair boy, who still had saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth, looked at him expectantly. The yellow-hair boy thought that if Teacher Koichi Shido really did become the leader, it would be perfect for him. He was obviously helping him! Moreover, Koichi Shido and Takashi seemed to have some conflicts. If he could make full use of it...
"What do you think, everyone?" The first lady with braided hair and glasses conquered by Koichi Shido's "charisma" stood up from her seat with excitement and expectation. She clapped at Koichi Shido, and the short-haired girl next to her followed closely behind.
Slowly, the students brought into the car by Koichi Shido were infected by the atmosphere. They clapped happily for him, and some even whistled. Those people seemed to have grasped the last life-saving straw when they were about to drown.
When Koichi Shido saw this scene, he could not help but feel a little proud in his heart, but he still had to do the scene. He bowed humbly like a gentleman with a hypocritical smile on his face.
In Kurumi's opinion, the atmosphere was like that of a third-rate show. Wasn't this like a variety show that attempted to be funny back in the old days? Unfortunately, she hadn't seen many of them.
However, this seemed to be an excellent opportunity to complete her Side Mission...
Kurumi was still scheming in her heart. Of course, she wasn't planning on using a trick. She was just thinking in her heart, what reason should she use? Which body parts should Koichi Shido be missing, and how could he escape alive?
Behind Koichi Shido, the expression on Rei Miyamoto's face had completely darkened. She still couldn't believe it. Koichi Shido so easily corrupted those brainless idiots. She really couldn't imagine the consequences if she handed the team to Koichi Shido. At least she was unwilling to stay in this team...
"That's it then. The minority obeys the majority, and I've become the leader!" A massive wave of excitement poured out from his words, and he turned around to speak to Rei Miyamoto and the others.
"Ah ---Then will we have to listen to you in the future? Do we have to obey everything? You ---?"
Koichi Shido looked at Kurumi at the side. That wine-red eyes that had accumulated over time made him feel intoxicated. It was as if he had seen his mother, who had long passed away! He could swear from the bottom of his heart that he had never been so crazy for a woman!
"Get her! Get her! You have to get her! Anyway, I am the leader of the team now. They should all listen to me! When the time comes, find a quiet small hotel... Only I can give her the best protection!"
It was like a little devil on his shoulder, constantly yelling in his ear. This sentence echoed in his shrewd mind. The brilliance of reason slowly faded from his eyes as he looked at Kurumi, who was sitting on a chair. Even as she sat like that, she revealed the curves of her body. The hint of red in her eyes was like a poison that tempted him.
"Yes, I am the leader. I will lead you out of this disaster. Of course, this is on the premise that all of you are obedient. Don't you believe me, Tokisaki?"
"Hehe, how can that be? I am a good child." Koichi Shido's body became hot as he looked at the girl covering her mouth as she laughed. If there were not so many people on the bus, he was afraid that he would not be able to restrain his desire.
"But, we don't intend to go with you, Teacher Koichi Shido." Even though Kurumi said this with her delicate cherry lips, Koichi Shido still quickly calmed herself down.
The lust in his eyes completely disappeared, and a false smile appeared on his face. "Student Tokisaki, don't throw a tantrum. In this world of disaster, the more people there are, the easier it is to survive. Everyone helping each other is the way to go. If we split up now, it would not be good for everyone."
Kurumi narrowed her eyes, but her mouth was merciless, and her tone slowly became cold, "But I have no way to hand my safety to a murderer."
Just as Koichi Shido was about to refute, Kurumi's voice was like a charm that urged him to die. "Do you remember the boy with glasses before getting on the car? I saw everything that happened clearly." Her voice was still charming, but Koichi Shido was extremely shocked and broke into a cold sweat.
The sharp Busujima instantly detected that moment of uneasiness.
"So Student Tokisaki is talking about Zheng Xiong. That's true. It's all my fault. If I had been a little faster, I would have saved him. But Zheng Xiong, he pushed me away! He told me to run! He fought against those monsters alone..."
Koichi said those words with tears in the corner of his eyes. His acting skills were excellent. Kurumi had the feeling that if Koichi Shido were to change his occupation to being an actor, he would definitely have a bright future. He would be an Oscar-winning actor! A quick glance would tell you that all the students behind him believed him. The two little girls were even moved to tears!
"Can I ask you to get out of the car?"
