But he still underestimated the malice and initiative of the "Sazanoko Pursuer Corps" toward him.
Until earlier.
It wasn't until he accidentally overheard the conversation between Wada and the others that Aoto realized—the hostility of Sazanoko's pursuers towards him was far greater than he had anticipated!
In order to appease the hatred of "Sazanoko being taken," they didn't hesitate to unite and vowed to use violence to trouble Aoto.
These guys, whose heads were clouded by jealousy, superiority, and excessive confidence, came on strong.
At this point... Aoto wasn't very panic-stricken.
He merely chose to silently tighten his grip on the bamboo sword in his hand.
Since they wanted to pick a fight... then bring it on!
If he chose to evade passively, this group would only escalate in making trouble for Aoto.
In that case, it's better to confront them directly!
If he could knock them all down, they probably wouldn't dare to be arrogant in front of Aoto for a while.
