Tokyoites don't have martial virtue

"Strange... I succeeded?" Kyushu Makoto was puzzled.

He felt as if he had entered a strange, trance-like state, and when he came to his senses, things had turned out this way.

Makoto Kyushu's left arm has completely lost sensation, and his shoulder is also somewhat deformed, probably due to a dislocation.

The hemp rope clung precariously to his hands, almost breaking his wrists.

"Hey! Were you two holding the rope?" Kyushu Makoto looked up and shouted at the rooftop.

"That's right! You guys are so heavy!" On the rooftop, Suzuki and Takatsuki, their faces flushed, gripped the other end of the rope tightly, their palms already bleeding.

"Did you grab onto the water bridge?" Suzuki Yuji asked worriedly.

"Caught it!" Kyushu Makoto shouted back.

At that moment, shouts also came from below the teaching building:

"The mats are almost laid out, you can come down slowly!"

Kyushu Makoto looked down and saw that Karasawa Kishou and Karasukawa Senpai were standing below.

Two layers of gymnastics mats had already been laid out where the children landed, and several teachers were still frantically moving more mats over.

"Slowly lower us down!" Kyushu Makoto ordered the people on the rooftop.

The two people on the rooftop understood each other and began to slowly loosen the rope.

Makoto Kyushu used the water pipes on the wall of the teaching building and the protrusions on the windowsills to slowly climb down, just like rock climbing outdoors.

"You shouldn't have saved someone like me, senpai..." Mizuhashi Eiji nestled in his arms, his voice barely audible, "I had already made up my mind not to cause you any more trouble..."

"Shut up! You're the one causing me trouble now!" Kyushu Makoto glared fiercely at the girl in men's clothing and angrily scolded her.

"A girl with such a promising future like you shouldn't give up on life so easily!"

"Huh?" Eiji Mizuhashi's eyes widened. "So you already knew, senpai..."

"Shut up, we'll talk when we get down!" Kyushu Makoto was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely, and his heart was pounding. After all, he was practically doing unprotected rock climbing, not to mention he had a trembling classmate in his arms.

After carefully climbing down for five minutes, Kyushu Makoto finally carried the girl and landed on the stacked mats with a sigh of relief.

55. Is the gender a lie?

After that, a kind teacher drove Kyushu Makoto to a nearby hospital.

"I have a minor soft tissue contusion in my left shoulder, and my shoulder is dislocated, but fortunately, no bones or nerves are damaged."

After taking an X-ray, the doctor made the diagnosis.

"Really? Just a dislocation?" Kyushu Makoto slumped his shoulders, relieved. "I was worried it might be a fracture..."

"You're not taking a dislocated shoulder seriously? You're too optimistic." The doctor quickly wrote in the medical record: "I'll arrange corrective treatment for you as soon as possible."

......

As they walked out of the hospital, two girls from the "Bad Boys" group came to greet them.

"Kyushu-kun, are you alright?" Senior Karasu looked at her with concern. "After I called you, I felt something was off, so I went back to school."

"Thank goodness, I managed to get my arm back." Kyushu Makoto rotated his shoulder.

"As expected of you, you can so easily do something so reckless." Genji Takatsuki crossed his arms and snorted.

"Kyushu suddenly jumped off the building like he'd gone mad, it was really scary!" Suzuki Yuujin sighed, scratching his head.

"What exactly did I do?" Kyushu Makoto asked the two of them curiously when the matter was brought up.

He only remembered that he suddenly fell into a hazy state during the crisis, and he seemed to see his master. But he couldn't remember the specific details of the dream.

"Huh? You don't know?" Suzuki Yuujin suddenly started gesturing wildly.

"You suddenly burst into a terrifying laugh, then snatched the rope from Brother Yuan and rushed to the edge of the rooftop at a speed faster than Usain Bolt, then jumped off!"

"Faster than Bolt?" Kyushu Makoto wondered, "What kind of exaggerated comparison is that?"

"This isn't a metaphor! It's true! Your running speed was simply inhuman! It only took you three seconds... no, two seconds to jump over the fence!" Suzuki Yuujin exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly.

"Could it be that he was afraid Mizuhashi would die, so he unleashed the limits of human potential?"

"Huh?" Kyushu Makoto scratched his head, becoming more and more confused as he listened.

"After that, we heard you shout 'We're saved!' and then you grabbed the rope." Genji Takatsuki pouted and shook his head, complaining.

"You really trust us... Ugh, I can't stand you."

The two men's words left Kyushu Makoto completely baffled. Things like "runs faster than Bolt" and "its speed is inhuman" seemed far too exaggerated.

Could it be, as Suzuki Yujin said, that his body secreted a huge amount of adrenaline during the crisis, allowing him to unleash potential beyond the limits of the human body?

However, in any case, the outcome of this farce was good.

Kyushu Makoto turned his gaze to Mizuhashi Eiji, who was hiding at the very back, and asked with his chin tilted back, "Mizuhashi-kun, you must be in trouble, right? Would you like to tell me?"

"..." Mizuhashi Eiji lowered his head slightly and hesitated as he rubbed his fingers together.

"Mizuhashi, you said you'd apologize to Kyushu-ge after he came out, right?" Tang Zegui patted him on the back, urging him on:

"He risked his life to save you, is it really okay for you to be so stubborn?"

Mizuhashi Eiji walked hesitantly to Kyushu Makoto, keeping his head down the whole time.

"Raise your head," Kyushu Makoto instructed.

Mizuhashi Eiji timidly raised his face, his eyes darting around, still unable to meet his gaze.

"I'm sorry..." Mizuhashi said softly.

"Is 'sorry' all it takes?" Kyushu Makoto stared at him seriously. "If you think a simple 'sorry' can solve all problems, then I'm too easygoing, aren't I?"

"I...don't know..." Eiji Mizuhashi bit his lip in distress. "I feel...there's no point in me living anymore...but...everyone is still trying so hard to save me..."

Karasukawa-senpai was right, Mizuhashi-kun really does have something on his mind... Kyushu Makoto thought to himself, and said:

"If you want my forgiveness, then have a good talk with us. I risked my life to save you, so you have to tell me everything without holding anything back."

Mizuhashi Eiji was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Yes, I will tell you, senpai."

......

The group entered a family-run restaurant, where Eiji Mizuhashi explained everything in general terms.

"Wait a minute, Mizuhashi-san is a girl? Her gender is fake?!" Suzuki Yuuji looked incredulous.

Terasawa Kishou was so frightened that he dropped the fries in his hand and began to doubt his life: "Oh no! I even gave my favorite 'Undercover Investigator Series' to Mizuhashi!"

"So you're a pervert who shares adult videos with girls?" Karasuka Saki commented sarcastically. "Yeah... you've always been pretty lewd."

Tang Zegui was startled and pitifully grabbed Suzuki Yuuhito's collar: "Hey, hey, hey! I'm really not a pervert! You can understand me, right!"

Yuuji Suzuki immediately turned his head and whistled, "Huh? Aren't there only two of us in 'Delinquent Three'? I've never heard of that pervert named 'Karazawa' before~"

Genji Takatsuki nodded: "It seems so."

"Damn it! Don't abandon me like this!" Tang Zegui cried, on the verge of tears.

"Let's stop joking later," Kyushu Makoto said, stopping them and staring at Mizuhashi Eiji.

"Are you telling the truth? Those two little bastards have their eyes on you again! They didn't do *that* to you, did they?!"

“That kind of thing…no…” Eiji Mizuhashi’s expression was one of immense pain, as if he didn’t want to recall that experience: “But…my head and stomach hurt so much back then…”

Kyushu Makoto suddenly stood up, his face as terrifying as a demon, his whole body radiating anger: "Using his parents' power to bully his classmates... he should be taught a lesson no matter what!"

Everyone was intimidated by Kyushu Makoto's imposing presence. Karasukawa Saki quickly reached out and grabbed his shoulder, forcefully pressing him back into his chair.

"Calm down! Those two juniors come from very powerful families; even our family doesn't dare to compare with them! You can't accomplish anything by acting on impulse!"

Since these two junior students dared to use the excuse of "making the seniors drop out of school" to blackmail Mizuhashi Eiji, they must be very confident in their family's power.

The martial world is not just about fighting and killing; it's also about human relationships and social interactions. Rushing to teach them a lesson will only get you into trouble; you need to come up with a safer plan.

"Of course I know. I'm not stupid; I'll definitely come up with a plan." Kyushu Makoto snorted lightly.

"If we don't teach them a profound lesson, they will never realize their mistakes, and Mizuhashi will continue to suffer!"

“But more important than us is Mizuhashi-senpai’s opinion.” Karasukawa Saki crossed her legs and asked Mizuhashi Eiji, “Would Mizuhashi-senpai be willing to accept our help to punish those who bullied you?”

“That’s right, I also hope that Mizuhashi-kun will make his own decision.” Kyushu Makoto also looked at Mizuhashi Eiji: “Although I really want to help you, I don’t want to impose our will on you in any way. Can I hear your thoughts?”

When dealing with an adolescent like Eiji Mizuhashi, who suffers from extreme low self-esteem, it's important to let him make his own decisions as much as possible, rather than considering everything for him. Otherwise, he will only become weaker and more dependent, turning into a useless person without independent thought.

Mizuhashi Eiji bit his lip, hesitating: "But aren't the upperclassmen afraid of retaliation?"

"They're obviously lying to you~" Karasukawa Saki waved her hand dismissively: "How could a mere Kanagawa Prefecture councilor possibly extend his reach into Tokyo so casually~?"

"Don't worry, I won't be easily defeated by them." Kyushu Makoto gave me a reassuring look: "Forget about prefectural councilors, even if the prime minister of Wano Country came to provoke me, I wouldn't admit defeat!"

"This is a bit too much of an exaggeration..." Tang Zegui muttered under his breath.

"So, it's all my own fault..." Mizuhashi Eiji wiped his eyes and gave a helpless, bitter smile. "I was so stupid to be fooled by such a clumsy lie..."

"I appreciate your willingness to help us, but in the future, you should learn to consult with others more often," Kyushu Makoto advised. "So, what are your wishes?"

“…I don’t want to let them get away with this.” Her seniors’ words gave her courage, and Mizuhashi Eiji gritted his teeth, his eyes becoming slightly more determined.

"Very well, it's settled then." Kyushu Makoto nodded. "Let's adjourn the meeting for today."
