The punches I threw alongside the Tama River almost seemed filled with parental love.

No matter how dimwitted the person, I felt like a punch from the heart could set them straight.

I was surrounded by Kansai students in the setting sun. Relations between the east and west had only just restarted after the Reconciliation Riot a few years before, so what were they thinking picking a fight with Tokyo’s Chancellor’s Officers?

Well, the people who worked on the intelligence front would think about all that difficult stuff. The scene of the fight wasn’t the place to worry about it.

I activated my Mobilized Writing.

'''If you throw a punch with belief in your heart, all things will receive the blow in accordance with the conservation of energy.

I punched the air. The force of the punch compressed the air and the student in front of me was blown away by the blast of pressure.

In the distance, Senpai was using his sword to fight while protecting you.

''Just because he’s the Chancellor, he has no trouble cutting people down with that composed look on his face…

That didn’t sit well with me. Punching them was fine, but cutting them was wrong. I didn’t completely understand, but it really didn’t seem right. If I had to find a reason why…I guess because it looked really painful.

I decided to be a little nice. I could see an embankment and the Tama River behind them.

If I knocked them over there, those dimwitted and pathetic Hanshin fans could cool their heads. It was possible they’d fall right through the river and into Underground Tokyo, but if that happened, it happened. They’d figure something out.

I punched the air again and again. I could feel the blows landing through the compressed air and more and more students flew through the air.

''Ahh. This is going well and it feels great to do a good deed…

'''Author Comment:

This time we get to see the protagonist activate his Mobilized Writing for the first time.

Kansai students are picking a fight here, but students are heading out from Kantou too. They’re mostly just testing each other’s strength, so I don’t think they were acting as an organization.
