Chapter 72: Itona

(A/N We're getting closer, 22nd place. Surrender your power stones and I'll sacrifice my sleep for more chapters

By the way, thanks for the support.)

(3rd pov)

The whole class was silent. No one knew how to react to Ryoto punching Itona, the new transfer student, and sending him outside through the wall.

Ryoto: "They don't make the walls like they used to."

Koro-sensei: "No, Yuuki-kun is becoming a delinquent! What should I do? Do I have guides for something like that!?"

Terasaka seeing what Ryoto was capable of, gulped quietly and was secretly glad that he was spared that day.

Rio: "Ryoto, have you finally fone mad!!? No, you were mad from the start, but why did you punch him!!? He was a little strange and off, but if that was enough of a reason to punch someone, you would be in bruises every day!"

Ryoto was shocked. Not because he was being reprimanded, but how weak of a reaction everyone had. He literally punched someone so hard that he flew through the wall. He could have killed someone, and everyone either stayed quiet or, like Rio, started scolding him. There was also Koro-sensei who brought books about delinquents, but we don't talk about him.

Ryoto: "Don't worry, I didn't kill him. He isn't even hurt all that much."

Tadaomi: "What do you mean by that?"

The situation was tense. Karasuma was ready to restrain Ryoto at any moment, but something didn't add up.

If he wanted to eliminate competition, why didn't he attack Ritsu or any other students? He is strong, scarily so, but he has incredible control over his strength. If not, he would crush Terasaka that day, but he didn't, so why.

These unanswered questions stopped Karasuma from attacking Ryoto. Even if he wanted to punish this lollipop-loving student for his behavior.

Ryoto: "Itona is like Koro-sensei."

Shiro: "What!!?"

That answer shocked Shiro as this information was highly classified. No one could know this unless they were part of the experiments, but even then, Itona was created after the accident, so how did he get this information.

Ryoto: "It wasn't that difficult to guess. Use fire to beat fire. To kill an assassin, use an assassin, and to kill Koro-sensei use tentacles."

Rio: "Isn't it a bit of a stretch?"

Ryoto: "It is, but I was right, wasn't I? At least that's what I can tell from Shiro's reaction."

Kaede: "And what if you weren't right?"

Ryoto: "Then I would have my first kill on my record."

Everyone: "..."

Ryoto: "Just kidding, I was sure. My eyes aren't just for show, you know."

Ryoto looked at Kaede with one of my eyes open which made her flinch. For Kaede, it was as if she was seen through. Ironically Ryoto couldn't see through objects.

Ryoto was aware of Kaede's secret, and he decided after this would be an excellent time to confront her. The earlier he deal with this problem, the better. He didn't want to intervene earlier because he didn't care enough. Now, however, he recognized her as someone important to him, so he'll try to help her.

Ryoto opened his eye away from Shiro's sight as he was aware of how crazy of a scientist that guy is.

*Crack*

Everyone turned towards one of the holes that Itona's body created.

Itona looked angry and crazy, a dangerous combination.

Itona: "You are worth killing after all, and I'll prove that I'm stronger than you by doing that."

Multiple tentacles came out from Itona's head. Seeing this, Koro-sensei's face turned pitch black.

Koro-sensei: "...Where did you get those!!! Those tentacles!!!"

Shiro already calmed himself after the initial shock and said to Koro-sensei.

Shiro: "We have no obligation to tell you, Koro-sensei."

Ryoto: "You won't even tell your old friend? You are horrible, Shiro-San."

He flinched at Ryoto's provocation. Shiro's mind went into overdrive, trying to figure out who is this student. He obviously knows too much. He looked again at Ryoto, who had a smirk.

'Did he try to get a reaction out of me? Did he know everything from the beginning?' These were the thoughts inside Shiro's head, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't get an answer that satisfied him. He would need to research this student after he gets back.

(Ryoto's pov)

Fucking with Shiro is entertaining. The more intelligent someone is, the easier it's to get under their skin. They tend to overthink everything, and the smallest of actions get some kind of reaction out of them if they can't control their emotions too well.

I turned to Itona, who wanted to attack me as soon as possible, but he surprisingly didn't move.

Ryoto: "What? Scared?"

It made Itona attack me with his tentacles. They were fast, but I could not only follow their movements but also dodge them. Primarily thanks to spider-sense as I didn't use the full potential of my eyes just to more trump cards up my sleeve.

He targeted my head at first but just tilted it slightly as needed to avoid taking any damage. Seeing that I could dodge his tentacle, he increased the output of his attacks, and it was increasingly harder to avoid everything, so I started blocking the tentacles with my hands covered in Haki. The tentacles were very sharp but still couldn't pierce Haki.

My Haki was tougher than ever before but still had the same limitations initially. It's like I unknowingly put all my points into the toughness of my Haki and nothing towards anything else.

Itona had an advantage of speed while my reflexes were clearly superior.

With every passing second, Itona was losing his mind. At this moment, some of his attacks missed the mark entirely, and I wasn't forced to block them anymore.

As I dodged yet another attempt to strike me, I forgot that there was someone behind me, so if I didn't do something, that person would be badly wounded if not killed. What's worse, it was Rio. Realizing that it would be too late to grab the tentacle to stop it, my mind went blank for a second, and the next moment a wave of invisible pressure spread across the whole classroom. It was powerful enough to stop Itona's tentacle.

I then said with a cold voice.

Ryoto: "What do you think you're doing."
