Watching Tohyama Kinji’s surprised expression as he moved a few steps away, Fang Li couldn’t help but wryly smile.
“No wonder you said that you would show mercy if your opponent were a girl,” Fang Li remarked.
Hysteria Savant Syndrome was a condition derived from the instinct to reproduce. When triggered, Tohyama Kinji would enter an incredible mental state. Under this condition, he would transform into a charismatic male character that females find attractive, and no matter the situation, he would protect the females around him.
This drastic change explained the stark contrast between Tohyama Kinji’s demeanor before and after the syndrome was triggered. Previously, he resembled a gigolo, but now, he appeared utterly ordinary.
Due to Hysteria Savant Syndrome, Tohyama Kinji would never harm females, and even if forced to act, he would show mercy under the pretense of “punishment.”
“What a troublesome condition,” Fang Li said honestly.
Tohyama Kinji seemed to wholeheartedly agree, exclaiming, “Absolutely, this condition is incredibly troublesome. Not only could I be manipulated by women around me, but the triggering factors are also a nuisance. I’d rather I be reincarnated and start over.”
From Tohyama Kinji’s words, it was evident that he had been tormented by this condition.
However, Fang Li was curious and asked, “How did you trigger it earlier?”
Tohyama Kinji’s expression stiffened, and he stammered, “This… you don’t need to know.”
“Is that so?” Fang Li smiled faintly, but a playful glint shone in his eyes as he said, “Since you don’t want to tell me, I’ll have Ranbyou Sensei investigate the surveillance camera records.”
If Fang Li remembered correctly, the duration of Hysteria Savant Syndrome depended on the level of sexual arousal. Even if the arousal was intense, it would only last for an hour at most. Considering that the entrance exam had lasted for about an hour, Tohyama Kinji had likely triggered the syndrome during the exam.
If that were the case, investigating the entire entrance exam through the surveillance camera recordings would reveal how Tohyama Kinji entered this state.
Saying so, Fang Li turned around and started walking in the direction of the abandoned building.
“Wait, wait, wait.!” Tohyama Kinji suddenly became anxious and he grabbed Fang Li and loudly protested, “Do you have a grudge against me? Do you have to go to such lengths?!”
“I’m not sure if we have a grudge or not, but Tohyama-San, think about it. I was prepared to show unparalleled skills during the entrance exam and defeat everyone. But not only did you deceive me, we still haven’t determined the winner between us. Under such circumstances, isn’t it only natural to investigate you?” Fang Li said.
“But… but you already know about my Hysteria Mode, isn’t it unnecessary to continue the investigation?” Tohyama Kinji stammered.
“You’re not wrong.” Fang Li looked at Tohyama Kinji, then joyfully said, “However, I’m feeling happy about investigating you. What can you do to stop me?”
Tohyama Kinji nearly bumped his head on the ground when he heard those words.
This guy was truly insufferable.
Indeed, in a way, Fang Li could be described as insufferable.
No, it wasn’t that he was insufferable, but rather that he was somewhat unconventional.
Looking back at how Fang Li treated others in other Dungeon Worlds, it became clear. When facing Mumei, Fang Li ruthlessly mocked Amatori Biba, causing Mumei to become extremely angry.
Similarly, when dealing with Alisa, Fang Li used somewhat forceful methods to wake the proud girl to reality, stimulating her mind and spirit.
From these perspectives, it seemed that Fang Li’s personality could be quite unpleasant. In reality, Fang Li simply did whatever he wanted without hiding anything about himself. This might be attributed to the fact that since childhood, he vaguely sensed that he was different from the people around him.
At the age of eight, on his first day of school, Fang Li posed a philosophical question to his teacher. In essence, if he was already abnormal, then he should be honest with himself at least. Embracing this mindset, Fang Li did whatever he pleased throughout his life.
He expended great effort to save the entire group of Mumei because he liked them. He didn’t mind obliterating Amatori Biba because he felt somewhat hateful toward him. The same applied to rescuing Alisa – he did it simply because he wanted to.
The case with Rollins Wright was no different; he acted out of hate and went ahead with it, even if he knew killing Wright would lead to an Aragami invasion on the Russian Branch.
Now, Fang Li merely felt like uncovering Tohyama Kinji’s secrets out of curiosity, so he decided to tease him.
“I think it’s best if you just honestly tell me,” Fang Li said with a seemingly kind tone, “The result would be the same, whether only I know about it or if the other instructors from the Assault Department know as well. You should understand what to choose, even if you don’t enter that so-called Hysteria Mode, right?”
“You… you bastard…” Tohyama Kinji grumbled with a mix of resignation and hatred on his face.
However, trying to confront Fang Li without entering Hysteria Mode was not enough.
Helplessly, Tohyama Kinji admitted, “I merely fell for a female Honey Trap during the exam.”
“Honey Trap?” Fang Li was puzzled. “What’s that?”
“Forget it, you came from a regular high school, so you wouldn’t know the slang used by Butei,” Tohyama Kinji said with some hesitation, “It’s like a Beauty Trap – women are called Juliet, and men are called Romeo.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Li finally understood. “In other words… you fell for someone’s Beauty Trap?”
“Yeah! Yeah!” Tohyama Kinji was getting irritated. “Can’t you be a bit more tactful? You jerk!”
Seeing Tohyama Kinji so angry, Fang Li couldn’t help but laugh.
Neither Fang Li nor Tohyama Kinji noticed that, in the eyes of others, their argument resembled that of old friends who had known each other for years. Perhaps, this was what people called being in sync, a mutual affinity, right?
