Ryuji stood silent, his eyes peeking at the younger girl. He admitedly, blushed a little when she made a request. [i]Oh, she wants to train her buddy. Well, he's not a deliquent. And he's weak. He probably can use some help and being guided in the righteous path.[/i] Ryuji thought to himself, as he nodded, before looking at Kazuya. [i]Plus that broom seems a wicked weapon, all things considered. Most humble peasant tools are effective weapons.[/i] He shrugged.

"Alright, I guess I could help him..." He said, before his attention turned to the bloodthirsty challenger once more and the exchange with Megumi. This left him mortified to an extent. So she wasn't that different from his childhood friend, huh? It wasn't surprising. Still, the situation degenerated, and the humble broom user had decided to land a sneak attack at the worst moment possible. Potentially, the situation was escalating, as both the rank zero girl and the newcomer were squared off against veterans.

Chest thumping was awful, wasn't it?

And yet...

"Forgive me, master." Isobe Ryuji said, calmly breathing with his eyes closed. "But if inaction can make people potentially hurt because of my mistakes, so I shall take a forceful approach." Ryuji added, as he advanced as a human shield before Megumi and Kazuya.

"Yukazu-san, I shall not be used as an excuse to fight. I can take care of my own." He breathed deep, formulating his resolution.

"I shall be your rank 0 opponent, Ichihara-san. Me and no one else." Ryuji added. "Nobody needs to get needlessly hurt because of my carelessness." The colossus added, his fists clenching.

"And if anyone else wants to fight, I will face them aswell."
