The piece of shit's scheme

As the main tournament began, Michiko was shocked to see Haruki enter the salon. "Sorry, but we don't serve sex offenders."

"Oh? Then how bout- Nah, actually I don't think I want you scrapin’ a sharp razor anywhere near my smooth skin."

"Why are you here!?"

"Who knows," Haruki sneered as he rushed Michiko and pinned her to the wall as the other employees in the salon began to scream.

"I'm still holding a razor blade,” Michiko glared.

"You gonna knick me in the legs?"

"More like your nuts," Michiko scowled as she kicked Haruki in the crotch, downing him instantly.

"I... was hard too. F*** me, queen," Haruki sneered as he trembled in pain on the floor.

"Disgusting. I'll have security arrest you," Michiko glared as she headed out.

"Where ya goin?"

"To get a change of clothes and take a shower."

"A change of clothes, huh? Guess maybe I should get dressed too," Haruki sneered as he stood up, threw off his robe and walked out of the salon stark naked much to everyone’s disgust.

Ai then emerged from the back and glared at Haruki. “That trash, he pinned Michiko to the wall. Only I can do that!” she fumed as she began to give chase.

Michiko immediately stopped her and whispered something in her ear to calm her down. It seemed to work as Ai turned to Michiko with a smile and began walking out with her.

“Alright, let’s have a shower date,” Ai cooed as she began to fantasize about Michiko.

...

Haruki clicked his tongue as he tailed Rodeo from a distance. Much to his dismay, Iori was traveling with Rodeo, making it difficult for him to attack him.

"That bald freak's still with him. In that case, I'll bide my time, though DESPER's take about 12 to 24 hours to recharge depending on how much you work them so I wanna use it before the evening," he thought.

His eyes widened as Rodeo went into the bathroom, forcing Iori to wait by the door. Haruki attempted to leap at the chance, but stopped when he realized Iori heading for him. Realizing that she was clearly after him, Haruki immediately bolted away as Rodeo exited the bathroom.

"Uh, Ishikiridokoro... Why you always followin’ me?" Rodeo asked as Iori skidded to a halt.

"Mmph ngh mmph," Iori responded.

"...Could ya take the gag ball off?"

"MMPH NGH MMPH!" Iori fumed as she pointed to the keyhole on the gag ball.

"Oh, you can't... sorry."

"That guy changed into a boxing outfit. I wonder if chess boxing is his forte. Then that would explain all those big guys... Now I get it. Well, looks like lucky Rodeo gets to date me for the whole day," Iori thought as she gazed seductively at Rodeo.

"...Don't."

"Wow, this guy's cautious virgin 101, lame."

...

As the hour drew close to 5, Haruki huffed and puffed as he maniacally grinned at the person before him.

"Um, why are you looking at me like that? It's kind of creeping me out," Yuzuha shuddered.

"Yuzuha-tan, let's have a bout of chess boxing," Haruki cackled as he activated his DESPER.

Yuzuha shrieked in terror as she suddenly found herself in a boxing ring.

"Now, first round's chess, second round's boxing. We repeat this pattern for 5 rounds. If there's no KO or mate, the DESPER decides by decision who wins. Don't worry, it's fair, unlike me."

"WH- WHAT'S GOING ON!?"

"Now if you lose..."

Yuzuha's eyes went wide with terror as she heard Haruki's proposal for a punishment. "HELP! LET ME GO!"

"Nah, there's no escape. You can't oppose me. Now we begin with chess."

Yuzuha suddenly found herself sitting before a chess board in the center of the ring. Her legs were shackled to the chair, preventing her from running away.

"You'll be allowed to run around during the boxing. Now, ladies first," Haruki sneered as Yuzuha's move clock started.

Yuzuha nervously moved her pawn to e4, followed by Haruki quickly moving his pawn to c5. She then moved her pawn to d4, prompting Haruki to capture it with his c-pawn. Yuzuha captured said pawn with her queen, but was forced to move it to c3 after Haruki moved his knight out to c6.

Haruki then moved his pawn to e5 and waited for Yuzuha's next move. "What a dumbass," he sneered as Yuzuha moved her knight to f3. "Looks like you're getting assaulted, Yuzuha-tan," he taunted as he moved his bishop to b4.

Yuzuha went pale as she realized her queen was doomed. She then chose to make an even bigger mistake and captured the pawn at e5 with her knight.

"Two free pieces for me, check, Yuzuha-tan," Haruki sneered as he captured the queen at c3 with his bishop.

Yuzuha tearfully captured the bishop at c3 with her b-pawn as Haruki captured her knight at e5 with his knight. Yuzuha trembled in shock, before a bell suddenly started ringing.

"Looks like this round's over. Time for the boxing," Haruki maliciously grinned as Yuzuha began to have a panic attack.

...

Crowds of people gathered as they stared at a horrific sight. In the hotel's outdoor garden, a horribly beaten and bruised girl was crucified at the top of one of the tall trees. She had been stripped of nearly all her clothes, save for her tattered jacket which still prominently displayed the Shogikawa gakuin insignia.

Tears poured out of Mimoko's eyes as she recognized the girl. "ZENIHARA-CHAN!"

...

"How is she!?" Maida glared as the paramedics carted Yuzuha away on a stretcher.

"Not looking good. Not only are all her bones broken, but she's also in a comatose state. She may not make it, and even if she does, she'll likely be in a coma for the rest of her life. What the hell happened to her!?" a paramedic scowled.

"Dammit! I'll come with you. The rest of you are on your own, but don't you dare think of doing anything wrong!" Maida shouted towards the members of the chess club.

Everyone was in shock at what had happened. Utami and Mimoko were on the ground crying as they embraced each other in a hug while Yuusuke trembled and cried on his own as he too sat on the ground. Okisato, Iori, and Numakawa all looked frustrated, but the one most shaken by the ordeal was none other than Rodeo.

"Zenihara... No, was this... Because of me!?"

Okisato took notice of Rodeo and let out a sigh. "So that piece of shit went with plan b. Dammit, I should have been paying more attention to Zenihara-san, but sadly you can't protect every piece and still win the game, not unless your opponent deliberately avoids capturing any pieces. Inoue-senpai, please empty your tear ducts quickly. Right now, you're the only one who can save us from this oncoming assault," he thought.

Elsewhere, Peter confronted Haruki. "Well you truly are a vile piece of shit."

"Oi, oi, she's saveable. If I didn’t hold back, they’d never agree to my challenge," Haruki waved as he headed for Mimoko's group.

Everyone looked up as Haruki approached the group. Some of Yuzuha's blood still littered his clothes and hide, but Haruki didn't care, in fact, he wanted everyone to see it.

"Th- That guy! He- He's got a DESPER!" Utami cried.

"Oi, oi, it's used up, remember? Then again, I was lying the whole time. I never activated it during our match, Utami-tan."

"...!?"

"What a dumbass. Now, hello Mimoko-tan, name's Haruki Kamoshida, I just had my way with Yuzuha-tan. Now, want to save Yuzuha-tan?"

Rodeo immediately charged at Haruki, only to be stopped by a strong punch to the gut.

"So sloppy. I could've trained you up good, if only your bald bitch wasn't hounding you every second of the day," Haruki snarled as he shot Iori a death glare.

"So if we play your game tomorrow, Zenihara-san will be COMPLETELY healed?" Okisato glared.

"Was talkin to Mimoko-tan, but yes. Looks like ya got 7 members, just like me so it'll be a team event. Of course, Mimoko-tan's the highest rated one here so if she says no, I can't help it and Yuzuha-tan stays like that till she dies... Or gives birth."

"YOU DIDN'T!" Yuusuke roared.

"Oh yes, I did. I said I had my way with her, and I did. Though if it makes you all feel any better, I did it after beating her up some, but before she lost consciousness."

All the sorrow and frustration the chess club had been feeling quickly turned to rage as they all shot Haruki death glares.

"You... You are irredeemable. I WILL vanquish you and save Zenihara-chan," Mimoko declared.

"Perfect. As soon as my DESPER's back and runnin’, we'll have a 7 v 7 battle," Haruki sneered as he walked away.

"Inoue-senpai, would you allow me to help craft a battle plan?" Okisato asked.

"Tanabe-kun, were you aware this fiend was targeting us?"

"I was, but couldn't talk due-"

"WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS!?"

"Mimoko-sama, i- It's not all his fault. He threatened us and said he'd hurt someone if we told anyone about it. Plus, I thought we were all safe, but he tricked me," Utami trembled.

"Utami-chan..."

"Not like I think any higher of the asshole, but when we were alone in the puzzle cafe, he tried to warn us that Gorou was the main target, but we all brushed it off," Yuusuke mumbled.

"I see... Very well. Arguing with each other is the last thing we should do. Tanabe-kun, my apologies. You may aid in the crafting of the battle plan."

As Okisato nodded in approval, Peter watched from a distance. "You're at a disadvantage, Okisato Tanabe. You're the only one there who can easily beat Haruki at both disciplines. I fear even Mimoko Inoue will lose if she's unable to mate in time," Peter thought as he closed his book and walked away.
