Then, Ji Nai stared at the dilapidated building in front of her, stunned, her face expressionless.

She recalled how Bai Mucheng had enthusiastically introduced a whole bunch of things to her in the car, and she had been looking forward to it with starry eyes.

"..."

Ji Nai stepped to the front of the dilapidated house and gently tapped the supporting pillar with her fist. With a loud crash, the supporting pillar broke, and half of the house collapsed completely.

"Mmm~~~!"

After thinking for a moment, Ji Nai pointed to the "ruins" in front of her, turned to look at Shiramu Cheng, and asked seriously, "Excuse me, is this a garbage dump?"

Shiramu Cheng: "..."

A subtle sense of frustration welled up inside me.

Chapter 50 Member Trial Class

The group gathered together, each finding a comfortable position, and watched the scene unfold with great interest.

Hongo Hime looked around, her eyes sparkling, as she carefully toured Shiraki Shō's "home".

"Brother Shiraki introduced me to a lot of things while we were in the car!"

Ji Nai counted on her fingers, "For example, will there be enough exercise equipment?"

Bai Mucheng looked a little uneasy and raised his hand to explain, "It's being ordered, it's already been added to the order..."

Ji Nai nodded. "Then, what about logistical support such as the infirmary?"

Bai Mucheng squatted down to rest and whispered, "We still need to recruit more."

"I see!"

Ji Nai clapped her hands with a smile, and asked even more expectantly, "And where is the beautiful venue?"

Bai Mucheng sat on the ground, hugging his knees, swaying his body, and whispered, "Under construction..."

"..."

Seeing that Shiraki Cheng's voice was getting softer and softer, clearly indicating that he had been hit hard, the onlookers couldn't help but exclaim again—Wow! This Hongo Hime's destructive power is far stronger than they imagined.

But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, the direction was only decided last night, and there are still many things to do. We need time to take it one step at a time.

Of course, Hina understands this as well.

"Just kidding, it's okay! After all, things like logistics, venues, and equipment can all be solved with time."

"The key is 'people'."

Ji Nai changed the subject, moved closer to Bai Mucheng, tilted her head, and stared at Bai Mucheng with stares in her eyes.

"Brother Bai Mu, when are you going to arrange the sparring and exchange matches for me?"

"..."

Bai Mucheng's depressed mood suddenly stopped, and he seemed to freeze in time.

Then, on the next breath—

Swish!

Hime jumped forward half a step and kicked Shiraki, who was sitting on the ground, with a low kick.

Shiraki Cheng, however, slapped the ground with one hand first, stood upside down to support himself, and then spun around and kicked at Hime.

boom!

Hina blocked the kick with her palm and took a big step back to avoid Shiraki's rising kick.

"Haha, that's really interesting!"

Ji Nai exclaimed sincerely, "When you dealt with those assassins, Brother Shiraki used karate and wrestling, but that move just now, was it a 'fist technique'?"

"...Is it Drunken Fist? It seems to incorporate street dance moves as well."

Ji Nai's knowledge is indeed astonishing.

Or rather, in terms of familiarity with fighting techniques, Hina Hongo is definitely among the top tier!

Bai Mucheng tiptoed back and forth, trying to adjust his movements, and corrected, "It's breakdancing—a combination of Drunken Fist and some dance steps."

"That's amazing!"

Ji Nai sighed, then clenched her fist, stepped forward, and threw a punch.

Shiraki Cheng dodged to the side, but Ji Nai suddenly stopped and delivered a knee strike to Shiraki Cheng's groin.

"?!"

Bai Mucheng pressed down with both hands to block, barely managing to take the blow, and used the momentum to jump backward.

"Huh, that's strange?"

Ji Nai blinked. "Kicking the groin and gouging the eyes are common in underground fighting. Therefore, 'boxing techniques' that focus on practical combat often use a 'sideways stance' to reduce the area on which they are hit."

"But Brother Shiraki's boxing skills seem a bit rusty. He almost got hit. Is he just starting to practice?"

"..."

Bai Mucheng nodded.

What he could see—the "new phantom" existing in his mind—seemed quite dissatisfied with Bai Mucheng's actions, shaking his head helplessly, and even starting to practice on his own.

The other party's meaning was clear: relying on Hime alone was not enough; they needed a more intense and "exciting" opponent, otherwise it wouldn't feel right!

No matter how hard Bai Mucheng tried or how focused he was, he still couldn't see the details clearly.

"Hmm, it seems like Brother Shiraki is also troubled..."

Ji Nai also noticed something amiss, so she stopped and urged, "Hurry up and practice! It doesn't matter if you're different genders, I want to see your more complete moves!"

Clearly, Hina is the kind of person who "eats the best food first." Since Shiraki's boxing style has piqued her interest, other fighting techniques have become somewhat uninteresting for the time being.

Bai Mucheng nodded in agreement. "So, do you want to join?"

"You can fight anytime you want, right? Let me try two more classes!"

Ji Nai remained noncommittal, then turned to look at Pegasus Nozomi not far away, "Miss Nozomi, I'm a little unsatisfied right now. Could you arrange the fighting match you mentioned earlier for me as soon as possible?"

"……it is good."

Hope was truly taken aback by witnessing Ji Nai's strength, and quickly organized his thoughts in his mind.

Although the professional assassins, IDEAL, and even Shiraki Cheng are all a bit worrying... it's too late to regret it now.

Since there's no way out, let's make good use of Hina Hongo—this "monster"—and Shiraki and the others, and find a way to rise to prominence!

……

……

The next day, night fell.

Shinjuku streets.

An underground bar has been booked by the "Jinguji Group" as their stage for tonight.

Shiraki Cheng and Li Youba met up and successfully found this place. Led by Yi Hua, they entered the bar, where Hana and Nozomi had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as I entered, the noise of the crowd filled my ears, and the atmosphere hit me like a heat wave.

"Not bad!"

Looking at the grand scene inside the venue, Li Youba exclaimed, "It doesn't feel like the size of a new group at all; their popularity is much higher than before!"

Hana smiled and explained, "Including the staff—such as the hostesses—there are more than 220 people in total!"

"This is more than twice the number of people last time, isn't it?" Yi Hua looked around. "With the addition of pretty waitresses, it really does look more like the real thing!"

"but……"

Yi Hua looked at Li Youba, puzzled, "Since Hongo Hina is so strong, why wasn't Li Youba sent to fight in this match?"

Li Youba and Hope exchanged a glance, both knowing the answer.

"Because of the 'threshold'"

He hoped to explain, "Li Youba and Hongo Hina are both strong players, but if they play their 'trump card' right from the start, the audience's excitement threshold will be raised."

"If we can't find top-level competitors in the following matches, the audience won't be interested, which will be very detrimental to the development of the entire team."

"Therefore, things like 'king versus king' must be done step by step; you can't rush it at the beginning."

Hopefully, she changed the subject, "And another contestant tonight is also quite good, thanks a lot for helping me find him, Yihua!"

"Ha, that's for sure!"

Yi Hua was quite confident, "She had been in a fight before and I 'taught her a lesson,' so when I asked her for a favor—which was basically a 'threat'—she readily agreed!"

If you remove the illegal parts, Yi Hua is actually quite reliable.

"She was among the top 16 in the Tokyo Judo Championships. After dropping out of high school, she joined the Rokujin Kaikan and reached the first dan level. She is skilled in full-contact karate."

Yi Hua continued the introduction, then glanced at the arena, "Oh, here they come, the contestants are entering!"

"..."

Tonight's commentary was noticeably more passionate than the first one.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone, the match is about to begin!"

"Entering from the east is—[Revolutionary Princess] Hina Hongo!!"

Due to the short notice, there was no time to prepare clothes, so Hina wore the same school uniform as before, except she wore safety shorts.

However, the audience did not feel that it was perfunctory; on the contrary, a large number of people were even more excited because of it.

"Next up is the West—[The Terrifying Killing Machine] Momose Miyo!!"

A capable woman dressed in sportswear, with short hair, and slightly older than Hime, appeared amidst cheers, looking somewhat flustered.
