Ryusei swung his fist at October, but October sidestepped and grabbed Ryusei's shoulders. Pulling him inward, October's right knee slammed hard into Ryusei's abdomen. Releasing one shoulder, his elbow struck Ryusei's back with brute force. Subjected to October's successive heavy blows, even Ryusei's current constitution was beginning to find it unbearable.
October didn't stop. He swung his right leg with force, kicking Ryusei away directly toward the utility pole where Bun and the others were hiding.
"Run, quickly!" Qi Xiaosai shouted immediately. If they got hit by that, it would be no joke. Bun and the others weren't like him; they were just ordinary people. Getting hit by a flying Ryusei would be disastrous.
Boom.
The entire utility pole was knocked down by Ryusei, but thanks to Qi Xiaosai's warning, Bun and the others avoided any danger.
"This should be enough."
October looked at Ryusei among the rubble and decided to leave it at that. The battle with Ryusei had been a rare bit of fun for him. This Ryusei fellow had a quite impressive constitution, arguably on par with his own, and was incredibly durable. Every attack required a few more points of strength, or it would have no effect at all. However, his technique and experience were far too poor; he was like a brute with nothing but strength, using his power randomly without any form. Regardless, he was an excellent sandbag—he could take any amount of punishment.
"Goodbye." Turning around and waving a hand, October simply vanished.
"Young Master!" Seeing October disappear, Bun and the others didn't have time to think. They rushed to Ryusei's side to find him with his eyes closed, face covered in dirt, and his clothes mostly shredded.
Qi Xiaosai quickly checked Ryusei's condition. "He's fine. Ryusei just fainted. He'll be okay after some rest."
Hearing Qi Xiaosai's words, Bun and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go back to the hotel first," Qi Xiaosai suggested.
"But we still haven't found the hotel yet," Big Strong said.
"Uh..." Qi Xiaosai was momentarily speechless. Right, they still hadn't found that damn hotel. What kind of hotel did that guy Po Jun book anyway!
"There was supposed to be a good show, but unfortunately, it was ruined by that Little Loli," Asagami Fujino said helplessly.
"A good show? What kind of show?" September asked curiously, sensing it was something significant.
"Ryusei," Asagami Fujino said. "Ryusei has been targeted by a man."
"A man? Don't tell me...?!" September immediately thought of something, her expression becoming very strange.
"Exactly. But unfortunately, we won't get to see that scene now."
Asagami Fujino said with quite a bit of regret.
"You really have a wicked sense of humor," September rolled her eyes.
"Let's go, we should head back too. Alice and the others should be about done," Asagami Fujino said. "Tonight, we also need to go see that September Days who is impersonating you."
"Oh right! I want to see exactly who dares to impersonate me!"
As the great September Days, she had actually been impersonated—how could she stand for this? September was determined to catch that fake tonight.
"Alright, let's go."
Taking September's hand and using Heavenly Movement, the two of them vanished instantly.
In a plaza in the Persian Gulf, a giant electronic screen was playing a video—the response from the Chairman of N Company to September Days's challenge letter:
"Hello everyone, I am the head of N Company. September Days has indeed sent us a challenge letter, wanting to target my treasure. Hmph..."
"However, we, N Company, are making it clear right here: if September Days dares to come to N Company, we will ensure she never leaves!"
Everyone in the plaza saw the video and began discussing it heatedly. These people had traveled thousands of miles to the Persian Gulf just to capture September Days and claim the massive reward, a full three billion in prize money.
Meanwhile, in Asagami Fujino's luxurious hotel room, the television was playing N Company's response to September Days's declaration of war. Seeing the repulsive face of the N Company Chairman on screen, Asagami Fujino immediately turned off the TV. Because of the fake September Days, everyone in the Persian Gulf was discussing this matter, and it was being played constantly on television.
"Are you ready?" Asagami Fujino turned her head and saw that September had once again transformed into the appearance of September Days.
"Hmph, I'd like to see who dares to impersonate me, September Days." After September finished speaking, she looked at Asagami Fujino, "Are you going?"
"Of course! Why would I miss something this interesting? But there's no need to go so early."
Asagami Fujino checked the clock in the hotel room. "It's only seven o'clock now. If we go this early, are you planning to ambush her somewhere?"
"Why else?"
"I already had April set up Detection Magic inside that company. The moment the impostor appears, I'll know, and then I'll just teleport you over, won't I?"
"That's right." September nodded, then quickly ran to Asagami Fujino's side, grabbed her hand, and said coquettishly, "Fujino, please teach me Magic too, okay~"
Asagami Fujino's mouth twitched. This was the first time September had called her by her name; before, it was always "pervert" or words to that effect.
"Fujino, just teach me~"
"Uh, fine." Asagami Fujino pondered briefly and decided to teach September Magic. Since September had used her name and acted coquettishly, Asagami Fujino was satisfied.
After getting the answer, "Fujino is the best!" September was overjoyed upon hearing Asagami Fujino agree. She had been envious when she saw Sakuya teaching April Magic, and now her wish had finally come true. September happily hugged Asagami Fujino, burying herself in her embrace. She was close enough to feel Asagami Fujino's warmth and faint, elegant scent. September's face flushed slightly, looking extremely cute.
However, September quickly let go of Asagami Fujino. September felt her heart pounding rapidly. *Did I fall for her? How is that possible?! She's a girl! Plus, she already has Alice and Sakuya, and Alice even had her child!*
Watching the deeply conflicted September, Asagami Fujino smiled. It was close. If she just pushed a little harder and made a move, she should be able to win September over.
Just then, Asagami Fujino suddenly said, "September, the person impersonating you is here!".
