Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

After Lester, Tamazuki kept defeating those students who were part of Page One.

No one was left out, and all of them were beaten up by him.

Soon, even those who wanted to ignore him couldn't do it anymore since he was about to reach the rank of the top five of the Seidoukan!

"What should I do? What should I do?"

"What's wrong?"

"I lost my bet! I lost all my money this month!"

Many had put a bet that he wouldn't be able to defeat the top five of the Seidoukan, but from what they saw, it was only a time before he fought with the rank one.

On the part of the schools, a middle age man and a girl with a middle school uniform watched the match with Tamazuki.

While the girl was surprised and even amazed, the expression of the middle-aged man was a little ugly.

Everyone could tell that Tamazuki was strong.

With a physical ability, which wasn't much different from a beast, yet with a delicate skill, which could make anyone who practiced for decades feel like they were an idiot, he was simply a monster.

"What a monster..."

The middle-aged man then looked at his niece. "Kirin, without a doubt, this person should be coming to you. Don't hold back. Win."

"Ye-Yes!" Kirin was a bit overwhelmed, but she nodded regardless.

"With how arrogant this monster is, without a doubt, he will try to fight you with a sword. By then, cut him down, and tell him that the Toudouryuu isn't something that can be learned by a random beast!"

While he mentioned Tamazuki with disgust and even hatred, strangely enough, his voice was rather proud when he mentioned Toudouryuu.

Still, he told his niece that she had to win, telling her that it was for her wish, yet inwardly, everything was for himself since he wanted to achieve his ambition by using his niece as a tool.

"Yes, Ojii-sama..."

However, the girl's mood was a little low. Yet, as she had a wish that she wanted to achieve, she had to listen to her uncle since she knew this was the best way for her to fulfill her wish.

Meanwhile, Tamazuki defeated all the students on Page Ones from rank 12 to 6. He beat all of them, and before long, it was his match against the rank 5.

"Princess, he is coming for you!"

"Run, Princess! Run!"

"Princess, Tamazuki Inugamigyoubu is coming toward you!"

Julis Riesfield, who spent her afternoon in a quiet, frowned when many of her classmates started to surround her.

Displesant.

This was clearly stated on her face.

Unlike the others, who went to watch Tamazuki's dominating this school, she stayed in the class oblivious of anything. While she was confused by many people who surrounded her, one name attracted her attention.

"What do you mean?"

"Huh? Don't you know?"

"What?"

"......." Everyone.

Everyone looked at each other and felt speechless at Julis. Even though this girl was a princess, she lacked a sense of crisis, making them all helpless.

"Should you explain it to her?"

"It will take too long!"

"Well, that's true."

They decided to keep quiet since they knew that person would come sooner or later.

"Hey, why are you murmuring around me? If you have something to talk about, just say it!" Julis had a short temper, so she quickly got angry when all of them ignored her and talked by themselves even though they were the ones who approached her.

"You will know later."

This is what they could say.

While Julis frowned, Amagiri, who had been staring at the cloud absently, realized something weird was happening.

"Julis, what's wrong?"

Unlike the others who called her a "princess" or "Riessfeld," which was her family name, the protagonist called her name without hesitation.

Yet, Julis didn't react as if this was something normal. Still, strangely enough, if it was someone else...

However, Amagiri didn't receive his answer since Claudia entered the class.

"Ah, Julis, are you here?"

"What's wrong, Claudia?"

"Can you do a duel?"

"Duel?" Julis frowned, then she saw the person who attracted the attention of all the people on this island.

Inugamigyoubu Tamazuki.

His expression was cold, as if nothing in this world could make him interested.

While Julis had to say that Tamazuki was the most handsome man that she had ever seen, she had to say his expression annoyed him.

"Didn't you know?"

Still, Julis couldn't ignore Claudia. She was a bit confused, then asked, "What do you mean?"

Claudia showed a bitter smile and explained what was happening.

"......"

Julis was dumbfounded when she heard that Tamazuki wanted to become the rank one in a day. Moreover, she was even dumbfounded that he had won all of his fights from the last rank of the Named Charts to rank six on Page One.

Similarly, Sasamiya Saya, the childhood friend of the protagonist, whose face was as flat as ever, was surprised when she heard the news about his victory against so many people in just a day.

Meanwhile, Amagiri was as clueless as ever.

"You are the rank 5, so you are his next opponent. Are you ready to have a duel with him, Julis?" Claudia asked with a smile.

Everyone was also excited since this was why they were coming. They wanted to see whether it was possible for Tamazuki to climb up to the top of the Seidoukan!

Julis blinked her eyes and didn't expect this, but Amagiri suddenly stood in front of her as if trying to protect her.

"What do you mean? You can't force her to fight!"

Amagiri felt that he had to stand up and protect Julis since he could tell that everyone was forcing herself to fight.

"Yes, he can, and I am talking to Julis. You shouldn't interrupt our conversation." Claudia didn't seem to show much interest in Amagiri and looked at Julis. "Julis, what do you think?"

"But I can reject this duel."

"Oh?"

"Lester challenged me to the official match this month, so I can't refuse this match, and I won't accept his duel since I refuse to be part of this charade!"

Julis didn't want to become an attraction to everyone, and she also didn't like the feeling of being controlled even though she came to this island on the initiative and also came to fight while being controlled by the others.

Still, hearing her explanation, everyone was speechless, and all of them wanted to curse at Lester.

Official matches were selective examinations held once a month by the school. Because the consent of both parties was necessary for a duel, one could decline indefinitely. To prevent high-ranking students from using that as a loophole to keep their position, they were required to fight at least once a month. As a rule, in an official match, a high-ranking student did not have the right to decline a challenge from a lower-ranked student.

However, Lester had challenged Julis in the official match before, allowing her to reject Tamazuki's invitation to a fight since she only needed one official match every month.

As for the duel, it was her wish to accept or not, but she rejected him, so the battle between them wouldn't be held.

Frankly, everyone was disappointed since they wanted to see the match between Julis and Tamazuki, but they could see that Julis didn't seem to be interested in having a duel.

Claudia wanted to say something, but...

"It's okay, Claudia. I don't want to waste my time on a coward. Let's go to rank 4."

"Okay."

Claudia knew that he didn't want to waste his time and that it was better to finish this matter as soon as possible.

Tamazuki's words were rather loud, and they all heard his words.

"How disappointing."

"The princess is running away."

"What a letdown."

In the beginning, all of them wanted to see him be beaten down by the students of the Seidoukan, but now, all of them wanted to see him become the number one since they knew how powerful he was, yet Julis ran away, so they couldn't help but mock this princess.

Julis, who was short-tempered, couldn't control her emotion, and she was furious. She was about to stop him, but Amagiri beat her first.

"Wait!"

Everyone stopped and then looked at this inconspicuous person who told Tamazuki to stop.

"If you want to have a duel, how about you have a duel with me?"

"Ayato?" Saya was dumbfounded.

"Amagiri?" Julis also felt surprised by Amagiri's action.

However, Tamazuki only frowned, then asked in doubt, "Who are you?"

"......."
