Chapter 300

Boom—!

A dull, loud noise.

The baseball smashed hard into the metal fence on Natsume Chikage's left!

The huge impact even caused the sturdy fence to slightly dent and deform inward, making a teeth-aching groan.

The white baseball bounced a few times and rolled weakly to the ground.

This sudden loud noise startled the passing students, who stopped one after another, casting suspicious and uncertain glances.

Not long after.

A tall senior wearing the school baseball club training suit—Zhongdao Satoshi, strode to where the baseball rolled.

He didn't bend down to pick up the ball, but pointed the baseball bat in his hand, which was faintly emitting a strange light, at Natsume Chikage from a distance.

"Natsume Chikage—"

His voice was rough, carrying undisguised provocation.

"You'd better be careful when you see me in school from now on!"

His eyes, actions, and words, every detail was full of warning and hostility.

Natsume Chikage frowned slightly.

His gaze fell more on the baseball bat in the other party's hand.

【Hot-Blooded Baseball Bat】

【Quality: Blue】

【Effect: When swung, strength increases by 10%, hit rate increases by 20%!】

【Introduction: Dream—pointing straight to Koshien!】

【Synthesis conditions: At least three pieces of the same type of equipment are needed!】

At this moment, compared to this unexpectedly appearing "special equipment", what made Natsume Chikage feel more inexplicable was the person in front of him.

He didn't remember at all where he had seen or offended the other party.

But this person was clearly targeting him.

Natsume Chikage kept a low profile and didn't like to cause trouble, but he was never someone who would swallow his anger.

He took the initiative to take two steps forward, approached the fence, met the other party's gaze, and frowned slightly:

"I shouldn't have seen you, but that doesn't matter."

"Obviously, you have an opinion about me now."

"Since we are both men, why not be straightforward and speak your mind."

Zhongdao Satoshi with a square face raised his eyebrows; he clearly didn't expect this first-year high school boy, after being threatened, not only didn't shrink back but instead approached so directly.

With his physique, which could be considered burly among high school students, most first and second-year students, and even some weak third-year seniors, would have already admitted defeat upon seeing him.

But this Natsume Chikage, his height was actually similar to his own, both close to 1.8 meters, his posture was upright, and he didn't look like those weak bookworms in school.

No wonder he had some courage.

However, Zhongdao Satoshi was not afraid at all.

Who among those playing baseball hadn't collided with people of the same or even larger size?

Thinking that it was this kid in front of him who had made the goddess he admired cry in public, he was furious.

Zhongdao Satoshi snorted coldly, and the baseball bat tapped on the ground not too lightly or heavily:

"You kid, you've been walking very close to Yue Dao-san recently, right?"

"I warn you, you'd better stay away from her. Otherwise... don't blame me for being impolite!"

Natsume Chikage was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

Immediately, an absurd sense of speechlessness surged in his heart.

Damn idiot!

Could it be that these high school students only have love and romance left in their brains?

However, he also completely understood the deep meaning of the words of Kondo Miki and Akita Sana just now.

It seems that among Yue Dao Lin's pursuers, there really are such characters whose brains are not very clear.

Just as Natsume Chikage was about to respond—

Beside him, a calm and steady male voice intervened.

"What are you talking about?"

"Can you tell me too?"

Natsume Chikage turned to look.

He saw the vice student council president, Hanyu Jianghui, who had approached quietly at some point and stopped a few steps away.

He was slender, wearing a stiff uniform, with a calm and distant expression on his face.

Zhongdao Satoshi's brows immediately furrowed tightly.

"Vice Student Council President..."

He might not be afraid of Natsume Chikage, or even most students and teachers in school.

But even someone as reckless as him knew clearly that some people absolutely could not be provoked.

For example, the principal, the school board.

And the most dangerous ones were the student council president, Yudang Zhiji, and her inseparable attendant, Jinweitong.

In the student council, besides these two, the vice student council president, Hanyu Jianghui, was also a figure who could not be easily offended.

Because the family behind him had a deep relationship with the Yudang family.

This was a background that ordinary students could not provoke.

Seeing Hanyu Jianghui appear, Zhongdao Satoshi's expression instantly became solemn and cautious.

"Vice Student Council President, this is a matter between me and Natsume Chikage." He tried to make his tone sound respectful, "Can I ask you... not to intervene?"

The smile on Hanyu Jianghui's face remained unchanged, but his voice carried an unquestionable force:

"I don't have the right to give you questions."

"Now, it's best to answer my question just now while I still have some patience."

Zhongdao Satoshi's face changed, looking a bit conflicted, but in the end, he whispered the cause.

Hanyu Jianghui listened quietly, thought for a few seconds, and raised his eyebrows slightly:

"One of our student council's jobs is to mediate conflicts between students."

"Currently, the conflict between the two has not reached an irreconcilable point, and it seems there is no need to use the school's 'special rules' to intervene."

His gaze swept over the two, and his tone turned to the seriousness of official business:

"Since that's the case, you can solve it privately. But you are absolutely not allowed to cause trouble on this main school road."

"If you commit it again next time..."

His gaze stayed on Zhongdao Satoshi and Natsume Chikage's faces for a moment each.

"Both of you, stop classes and go home to reflect."

"Now, please leave."

Only then did Natsume Chikage notice the surroundings.

At some point, many students had gathered around them, whispering and casting various curious and inquisitive glances.

Zhongdao Satoshi had "warned" other people who approached Yue Dao Lin here before, but it had never caused such a scale of onlookers.

But this Natsume Chikage was too eye-catching.

Even if he did nothing, just standing there, he was easy to become the focus of attention.

Making a big scene was clearly not what Zhongdao Satoshi wanted to see.

The baseball club's discipline was strict; if he was scolded by the coach and seniors because of this, it would not be worth the loss.

Thinking of this, he could only glare at Natsume Chikage fiercely, look at Hanyu Jianghui with fear, and finally bent down to pick up the baseball on the ground, turned around, and strode away.

Natsume Chikage already felt that this was a boring farce, and seeing the other party leave, he was also ready to turn and leave.

"Natsume Chikage."

Hanyu Jianghui's voice sounded again, peaceful but carrying a meaning that was hard to refuse.

"If you don't mind, let's walk this road together. I have some things I want to talk to you about."

Natsume Chikage turned his head and found that Hanyu Jianghui had naturally walked to his right side, standing side by side, clearly not leaving him any room to refuse.

He asked:

"Is there something?"
