Tokyo: After years of stagnation, the heiress of the yakuza arrives.

Kamikawa University.

The teaching building where the news department is located.

Outside the corridor, many students who were just passing by stopped in their tracks.

Because coming from the news department, there was an extremely regular, extremely crisp, and extremely chilling sound that made one's scalp tingle.

state!

"what!"

Bang Bang!

"Kuroba-kun, let's talk this out!"

Bang Bang Bang!

"Golf! This is golf! Respect the spirit of the sport!"

The sound came from behind the tightly closed doors of the news department.

At first, the students outside thought the news department was shooting some strange material again.

After all, the people in the news department aren't exactly normal.

For traffic.

To increase click-through rates.

In order to achieve the so-called campus news miracle conversion rate.

They're capable of anything.

It's not impossible that we're filming a live-action version of "Shocking! The Secrets of the Mysterious Mistress and the Evil Rice Ball" today.

Then another extremely realistic, extremely tragic, and extremely unlike an act came from inside.

"Ahhhhh—"

The students watching outside fell silent.

One of the boys spoke up in a low voice.

"Is the Minister of Information...being assaulted?"

The other person remained silent for a moment.

"Be more confident, and remove the 'is it' part."

My gaze slowly traveled down the corridor, through the cracks in the door, and into the interior of the news department.

then.

The whole truth is crystal clear.

The news department is right in the center.

Kuroda Ryoshin covered his head, huddled under the table, looking as pathetic as an old ox that had been owed three months' wages by the company and was being told by his boss to treat the company like his own home.

And in front of him.

Kuroba Shido, limping and with a murderous look on his face, carried the so-called "golf club" in one hand.

"You little brat, weren't you so cocky and arrogant just now? Go ahead and yell, yell for your Uncle Black Feather again and see what happens!"

"grass!"

"You've got too much nerve, and now you're resorting to threats?"

Kuroba Shido's voice was icy.

Kuroda Ryoshin: "..."

"Kuroba-kun, I think we can talk..."

state!

A stick was tapped on the table.

The documents, voice recorder, and interview outline on the table all jolted.

Kuroda's conscience trembled as well.

"talk?"

Kuroba Shido sneered.

"Weren't you very talkative just now?"

"What voting, what announcements, what tattling to Aoko Jingu and Kiyoshi Miyazaki, what best friends?"

"You're just some random NPC who appeared out of nowhere, and you're even resorting to threatening your dad?"

"Who the hell do you think you are!"

state!

Another pole.

This time, there was no banging on the table.

It struck Kuroda Yoshishin's hand, which he had just reached out to pick up his phone.

Almost there.

It was really just a tiny bit off.

Kuroda Ryoshin's face turned pale.

He finally realized that Kuroba Shido's gentle, polite, kind, and sunny appearance just now was all fake.

When this guy gets angry, he's really capable of using violence!

The other people in the news department sat in their seats, each one more obedient than the last.

The cameras that were flashing non-stop just now are all turned off.

I put my phone down.

The voice recorder is turned off.

The fill lights were also turned off.

Even the handsome guy from the news department who had just been typing up the materials took his hands off the keyboard and placed them neatly on his knees.

It's like elementary school students in class.

wrong.

They're even more well-behaved than elementary school students.

I didn't dare to breathe.

What fame and fortune?

What data traffic?

What campus news miracle conversion rate?

What news department's century of glory.

All gone.

They now only have one thought in their minds.

Don't look at me.

Don't look at me.

I'm just a nobody in the news department who happens to be passing by.

I know nothing.

I'm just an unlucky guy who was tricked into coming here to work by the minister.

The reason is quite simple.

Because everyone realized one thing.

Kuroba Shido is not some ordinary poor wretch they can easily manipulate.

Yes.

He was poor.

He bought discounted rice balls.

He lives in the poorest area.

He was so poor that he called a broomstick a golf club.

But that's just the surface!

Who is behind this man?

The Jingu family!

Aoko Jingu!

Everyone in the school knows that Kuroba Shido is the future son-in-law of the Jingu family.

Although the person involved vehemently denies it.

Although Aoko Jingu has not made a public statement.

Although every time Shido Kuroba hears this statement, he jumps up and curses like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.

But does it matter?

unimportant.

Campus rumors do not require evidence.

The news department doesn't need it either.

They do this themselves, so they know this all too well.

If enough people believe something, it will become a "fact" in terms of dissemination.

Now, his status as the future son-in-law of the Kuroba Shido Jingu family is basically a done deal.

So here's the question.

Could the future son-in-law of the Jingu family be any ordinary person?

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

Previously, they were simply misled by Kuroba Shido's limping, foul-mouthed, cowardly, and prone-to-kneeling appearance.

Until now.

They suddenly realized what was happening.

A man who could catch the eye of the Jingu family.

A man who has survived to this day by Jingu Aoko's side.

A man who dared to kick open the news department door while carrying a "golf club".

How could he just be an ordinary, weak, and uncouth male chef?

Look at the force with which he hit.

Look at that attack stance.

Look at that practiced rhythm of beating.

This guy is definitely a tough character!

The more people thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

It even started automatically completing settings.

Kuroba Shido is, on the surface, an ordinary poor student at Kamikawa University.

In reality, he was a ruthless young man secretly trained by the Jingu family.

He usually limps, but that's just a facade.

Eating discounted rice balls is just a way to temper one's character.

Claiming to be poor is just a way of hiding one's true identity.

His association with Yamamoto was a smokescreen to lower outside vigilance by using the evil rice ball as a cover.

As for why he suddenly revealed his bloodthirstiness now?

Very simple.

The news department crossed his line.

His woman.

His reputation.

And his rice ball.

The news department staff: "..."

and many more.

Isn't the last one a little strange?

But it doesn't matter.

Just don't say anything.

The reason why things have developed to this point has to be traced back to just one minute ago.

then.

Kuroda Yoshishin had just turned his phone around.

The above shows that the post with the most votes about Yamamoto has spread from the school forum to external forums.

Kuroba Shido looked at the title on the screen.

[Kamikawa University's Most Outrageous Annual Poll: The Mysterious gigolo's ultimate fate turns out to be an evil rice ball!]

And the sentence below.

[Noah's Spark is true love, I'll be the first to swoon.]

Shido Kuroba fell silent.

Ito Fushin remained silent.

Yamamoto was moved.

Kuroda Ryoshin adjusted his glasses.

"Kuroba-kun, the situation has spiraled out of the newspaper club's control."

"But don't worry, we will continue to monitor public opinion and release follow-up reports when necessary."

Kuroba Shido slowly raised his head.

"Follow-up report?"

Kuroda nodded in agreement.

"For example, will Aoko Jingu respond to this matter? Will Kiyoshi Miyazaki intervene? Does Shinto Yamamoto really have a special relationship with you...?"

"Of course, we can also send a prepared briefing on the incident to Jingu-san and Miyazaki-san to prevent them from being misled by one-sided information."

Human language.

I'm going to tattle on them.

Moreover, they brought edited versions of the incriminating material to report on others.

Shido Kuroba's expression changed instantly.

It became clear.

It became quiet.

It became like Tokyo Bay before a storm.

Ito Fusei realized something was wrong and was just about to speak.

Kuroba Shido has already made a move.

"Going for a horse walk!"

Kuroba Shido slammed a stick into Kuroda Ryoshin's phone.

Click!

The phone screen cracked on the spot.

Kuroda Ryoshin hadn't even reacted yet.

The next blow landed on his head.

state!

Kuroda Ryoshin: "???"

"what!"

Immediately afterwards, Shido Kuroba kicked his opponent.

of course.

It's using that good leg.

Despite being wounded, Shido Kuroba maintained a very clear fighting mind during the battle.

The injured leg cannot be used.

It will hurt when you use it.

Good legs can use it.

It feels good to kick someone.

Kuroda Yoshishin slid back half a meter, chair and all.

Everyone in the news department was dumbfounded.

Yamamoto gasped.

"Shido, so cool!"

Kuroba Shido turned around.

"Shut up, it'll be your turn soon!"

Mr. Yamamoto: "???"

Why am I still here?

"Ahhhhh—"

"Kuroba-kun, let's talk this out. Calm down! Impulsiveness is the devil!"

"Knock knock knock—"

Over the next few minutes, Shido Kuroba subjected Yoshitomo Kuroda to a one-sided physical beating, and his earlier arrogance was now matched by his current stamina...

Kuroba Shido is indeed an easy target, and anyone can step on him, but at least you should know your place. You're just an NPC who appeared out of nowhere, and you still want to be on screen?

"call!"

A few minutes later, Shido Kuroba finished playing, stretched his neck, and tossed aside the broken broomstick... oh wait, I mean, golf club in his hand.

Ahead lies Kuroda Ryoshin, who has already been beaten to a pulp and is about to enjoy his newfound happiness...

After doing all this, Kuroba Shido turned his gaze to Ito Fusei.

"Come on, Ito, give this leg a tap. Be careful not to hit it too hard, but make sure it leaves a bruise. And this side of your hand too. Yes, yes, that's you. Don't use too much force..."

Kuroba Shido then openly plotted to frame Kuroda Ryoushin for retaliating in front of everyone.

They even beat him up and injured him...

The Kuroda family will be in deep trouble then...

Kuroda Ryoshin's eyes, which had been racing, suddenly cleared, and the racing scene was abruptly pulled back to reality!

"Father, please don't do this! Don't be impulsive! Give me a chance, give me a chance to change my ways! Please, Father, don't do this!"

Kuroda Ryoshin rushed over and hugged Kuroba Shido's leg, pleading and crying like a baby. Before, he would only get a beating, but now it was different. If Kuroba Shido really framed him, the entire Kuroda family would be ruined!

Whether it's the Jingu family or the Miyazaki family, crushing them is no different than crushing an ant...

"Snap!"

The sound of someone taking pictures came from the side.

"Shido's done. Here are the photos of the physical altercation between you and this guy!" Ito Fusei said, handing the photos to Kuroba Shido.

After reviewing it, Kuroba Shido nodded in satisfaction: "Well done, Ito, now we have physical evidence!"

Kuroda Ryoshin: "???"
