The strongest high school student in Japan

"Yuzu-chan?!" he called out quickly, then quickened his pace.

When Takasaki Mayu heard Jun Mogami's greeting, she looked back, but she did not respond or stop. Instead, she quickened her pace and walked up the stairs.

Don't even think about running away!

Mogami Jun quickened his pace and finally caught up with the exhausted Mayu, and grabbed the other's right hand with his left hand.

"What are you doing?" Fujiyoshi Ayami looked at him with some dissatisfaction.

But Mayu remained silent and just looked at him with an annoyed look.

Mogami Jun looked at the expressions of the two people and found that they both had dark faces and looked very unhappy.

It would be strange if anyone was in a good mood after losing the game.

"Can you give me a moment? I have something to say."

Mayu hesitated, trying to break free from his hand.

But Jun Mogami held on very tightly and did not allow her to break free.

"Mogami Jun, what are you doing?" Fujiyoshi Ayami walked over and tried to push the two people away.

"Yuzu-chan, can't you spare a little time?" Mogami Jun asked again. "Is that how you see me?"

Looking at Jun Mogami's eyes, Mayu's original anger seemed to disappear for a moment.

"Aya-chan, you go back first--" she called out to Fujiyoshi Aya.

"But..." Fujiyoshi Ayami hesitated.

"Anyway, you should go back first—" Zhenyou repeated, "Thank you, I'll come over later."

"Okay." Fujiyoshi Ayami hesitated for a moment, but finally obeyed Mayu's request.

Jun Mogami brought Mayu back to the stairs.

"What else do you want to say... Comfort me?" Zhenyou smiled bitterly, "Actually, I'm not that sad. After all, it's just a game. If I lose, I lose—"

"But you're obviously very depressed." Mogami Jun replied. "You can see the disappointment on your face, so stop trying to be strong..."

"Yeah, that's right, what's wrong?" Mayu asked back, "I am very frustrated, but isn't this my own fault? I went to challenge her, and then was easily defeated by her. No matter how you look at me, I look like a clown, right? Even you are pitying me...!"

"I don't pity you, but if you keep feeling sorry for yourself, maybe I will." Mogami Jun kept looking at Mayu, "You don't need to care about such a small matter. No one will change their opinion of you because of it. Everyone may forget about it in a few days."

"But it's not a small matter for me!" Mayu suddenly raised her voice and refuted Mogami Jun, "I... I lost to her..."

"You just happened to choose an event that she's better at, so it's normal for you to lose," Mogami Jun replied. "If it's singing, dancing, or even attending a concert, she can't beat you, so what's there to be frustrated about? You two are both very outstanding and dazzling people. I don't think anyone will look down on you just because you lost today. On the contrary, seeing your persistence just now, I admire you a little. You knew you would definitely lose but you still gritted your teeth and persisted. I can see that you were frustrated just now, but even so, you still fought hard for every ball and absolutely refused to shrink back. At least I should be the same as you in this respect."

After being praised by Jun Mogami, Mayu's mood immediately improved a lot.

Winning or losing a game means a lot to her, but if others don't look down on her because of it, then winning or losing itself is nothing big.

But I'm still a little unhappy.

The scene just now made her feel like she had something stuck in her throat.

"You two really have a very close relationship—" Mayu said bitterly.

She didn't know why she was so angry, but she was just very angry.

What made him even more angry was that he couldn't even say anything - after all, the other party had won the game, and the reward he asked for seemed to be in the process of being cleared.

People’s anger may be more about hating their own powerlessness.

"Asana is my friend just like you, and we had a very pleasant conversation." Mogami Jun admitted the fact, "Also, Asana has always been very considerate of you. Since you two were competing just now, I think you are the easiest to see it yourself, right?"

Mayu bit her lip but still didn't refute.

There is really no way to refute it.

Having just experienced the competition herself, she knew of course that Asana was showing mercy and saving her face.

So even though she lost the game, even though she was very frustrated and disappointed, she didn't have any hatred towards Asana herself. Even if she had any negative emotions, they were probably just envy and jealousy.

"Thank her for me." After a moment's silence, Zhenyou whispered. "It was indeed me who made things difficult for her."

"Isn't that right...?" Mogami Jun laughed, "So, neither of you did anything wrong. You just played tennis for the first time. Even if there is a win or a loss, what's the big deal? No one will lose anything, and you can still be friends in the future--"

"It's not that simple..." Zhenyou retorted.

"It's just such a simple thing!" Mogami Jun interrupted Mayu directly, "If there is something complicated, it is not important. No matter what, I hope you two can appreciate each other."

This is also what Jun Mogami hopes for.

What he said to Asana just now was certainly not a unilateral request for Asana to tolerate Mayu. Since they are friends, they should understand and tolerate each other.

So it should be the same for Zhenyou.

“……”After hearing what Mogami Jun said, Mayu didn’t know how to respond.

"Listen, no matter what I did, no matter how much I pissed you or others off, please don't take it out on others. I'll take responsibility for it myself." Mogami Jun looked at Mayu seriously and said word by word, "I said the same thing to Asana. I sincerely hope that you can appreciate each other's brilliance, please!"

191, loser?

"I said the same thing to Asana. I really hope you can appreciate each other's brilliance. Please!"

Under Mayu's gaze, Mogami Jun made this request to her seriously.

"Huh...? Huh...?! What on earth are you talking about?" Mayu opened her eyes wide and looked at Mogami Jun in disbelief, "Are you crazy?! Why do I have to admire her?"

"Because she deserves it." Mogami Jun answered as a matter of course, "Although you may not have a very good first impression of her, but in such an embarrassing moment, she was able to stand up and speak for you. Don't you think you should thank her? She has no ill will towards you. Even during the competition, she always took your thoughts into consideration and did not use her full strength... Are you still going to hate her for this?"

Mogami Jun's words were so convincing that Mayu was suddenly speechless.

She knew all these things and could see them all.

But... the more she was told this, the angrier she became.

How could the young man understand that constantly praising another person in front of a young girl would lead to terrible consequences.

"Yes, she is so good. She can do everything, and she is better than me in everything! I know I can't beat her. I was clearly beaten to a pulp... Every one of you saw how humiliating my defeat was, right? She showed mercy, so I should thank her, right?!" Zhenyou closed her eyes and suddenly pulled back her hand. "Then go and accompany her. Don't waste your time on a useless loser like me. Go back and continue to flirt with her. Pat her head like a primary school student or go a step further. By the way, say thank you to her for me, okay!"

Mayu spoke very quickly, almost like a rapid-fire cannon, and Mogami Jun could hardly hear her.

The Temple of the Goddess of the Temple

But it doesn’t matter whether he could hear it clearly or not. What matters is that he must not let Zhenyou go like this.

Although Mayu seems a little unreasonable now, Mogami Jun can actually understand Mayu's psychology.

Recently due to a series of changes, Zhenyou has been having a very bad time. She has always been the center of attention and has long been accustomed to being envied and looked up to. Now that there is suddenly such a big gap, it is naturally difficult for her to bear.

Because she couldn't bear this gap, she tried her best to get back what she had lost. She even went to the ER3 Association for help at all costs. However, this effort failed halfway. Mogami Jun forcibly dragged her out of the agreement and took her place as the helper.

Although her situation has improved, she is still in a state of seeking help from others. No matter how you look at it, she is now a person that Zhenyou values ​​very much.

But not long after, she suddenly found that she had a good relationship with Asana, who was as beautiful and talented as her. She instinctively felt fear and anger, afraid that her spiritual support would collapse.

So she tried her best to encourage Asana to participate in the competition, hoping to regain her psychological advantage in this way.

However, the result was far beyond her expectations. She lost the game cleanly and without any excuses. Not only did she not establish a psychological advantage, but even her last bit of self-esteem was destroyed. She was in great pain.

The terrible thing is that the blow is not over yet. Next, she finds that Jun Mogami and Asana are so intimate, and she can only watch, because this is the so-called "reward" for the winner.

How could she face all this? She couldn't face it at all.

The so-called "mental breakdown" probably refers to this situation.

Yes, that's it, it must be like this!

Jun Mogami had never experienced this kind of mental breakdown, but he could imagine the pain of having everything he was proud of shattered.

So... there is no point in saying anything to someone whose mentality has collapsed.

What matters is action.

Yes, take action, and act now.

Jun Mogami ignored Mayu's resistance and grabbed her hand again.

"You just said the word loser, right? I heard it clearly—" He glared at Mayu, then dragged her back to him, "Then tell me, what right do you have to say that? And who allowed you to say that?!"

Zhenyou wanted to break free, but she couldn't open her eyes, so she gave up struggling. "Do you have any right to control what I say?"

"You said everything else is up to you, that's your freedom... But I won't allow you to say this word, because if you consider yourself a loser, you're insulting yourself and me!" Mogami Jun frowned and looked at him, "We're standing on the same side now, I'm working hard for you, and you consider yourself a loser before the results come out? Then what are my efforts? Is that how you see me? Tell me, do you really think you're useless, can't do anything, and have no advantages? No, you're not, you're the shining Zhenyou, not a loser, and I will never allow you to see yourself like that!"

He lowered his head, then shouted at the other person, "You are not a loser, none of us are! We are winners, we must be winners, follow me and you can only be a winner, do you understand!"

After being yelled at by Mogami Jun, Mayu was stunned and seemed to have lost all his strength.

"Tell me, what are you holding a grudge about? Just because you lost a small competition, just because I touched someone's head?" Mogami Jun raised his hand angrily and touched Shinyu's head directly. Then he stroked it back and forth like he was stroking weeds. "Are you comfortable? Are you satisfied? Are you happy? How many more times do you want? Any number of times is fine, as long as you say so, I can satisfy you! Do you think that's enough?"

While stroking, he continued to say to Zhenyou, "Come on, right now, tell yourself that you are not a loser, you are the shining Zhenyou - the Zhenyou who can brazenly say in front of me that you are different from ordinary people! Come on, tell me!"

In the intervals when her hair was being swept back and forth, Zhenyou finally regained her consciousness.

She looked at Jun Mogami with a frown on his face, and felt the touch coming from her head. The touch came one after another, as if calling her to get out of the haze and find her true self.

The real self, not the loser self... Zhenyou seemed to have realized something.

"You bastard! You scum! You pervert! You messed up my hair, it hurts!" She shook her head suddenly, avoiding Mogami Jun's hand, and then glared at the rude and impolite young man opposite her, "Is this how you touch people? I saw you touching her very gently just now? Why do you do this to me?!"

"Since you said you're not a loser, I won't be so hard, okay?" Mogami Jun asked back.

Qiyi Temple Umbrella Qijiu Ba

“…rubbish…” Zhenyou cursed again angrily.

However, she was not angry in her heart.

Although the boy's actions were rough, she once again felt cherished.

He was angry for me and sincerely hoped that I could get out of this predicament...

Amid the touch of pain, she seemed to feel the courage coming from the other person's hand.

Yes, I am Youjiang, the Youjiang that is the center of attention and destined to be favored by everyone, the shining Youjiang! Look, isn’t he also fascinated by me?

"I'm not a loser! Come on! Let go!" She closed her eyes and shouted.

Of course, Jun Mogami was not stupid enough to let go, but his touch on the other person's head was much gentler - just like the time he touched Asana's head just now.

After a while, he stopped.

The two of them stood there in silence for a while.

"Are you feeling better?" he asked in a low voice.

"Uncomfortable! How can I be comfortable?" Zhenyou rolled her eyes at him, then reached out to tidy up her already very messy hair, "You are a monster without common sense!"

"I am a monster, but I am a monster on your side. To be honest, it is your honor." Jun Mogami replied with a smile.

Yes, he knew he had solved the problem.

But there is still work to do.

He continued to pull Zhenyou back.

"Come on, let's go back and show you how a loser loses. We lose the game together, and you should be satisfied."

Yes, he still has a game to play, against Umemiya Natsuhime.

Although he had no chance of winning and was probably doomed to fail, he was fearless.

When the two of them returned to the tennis court, Meimiya Xia Fei was indeed waiting there.

"Mogami-kun, I thought you ran away." After seeing Mogami Jun, she laughed coldly, "So you were just comforting the little kid..."

With her sharp eyes, she of course noticed Zhenyou's red and swollen eyes and the traces of tears at the corners of her eyes, but she could never have predicted what had just happened between the three of them.

"Senior, you must be joking. How could I possibly run away?" Mogami Jun smiled easily, not worried at all. "I'm really looking forward to being taught a lesson by senior!"

"Oh? Very good, since you want to, I will reluctantly satisfy you--" Umemiya Xia Fei nodded calmly, "Then let's start?"

"Okay, let's start." Jun Mogami nodded.

Then he walked to his own half.

He picked up the tennis racket and looked at Umemiya Natsuhime opposite him.

He didn't play tennis very often, so of course he had no skills to speak of, but he didn't care.

He gently raised the racket, as if holding a sword, and pointed it at Meigong Xia Fei.

“Huh? What’s the meaning of suddenly posing in such a handsome manner? Are you provoking me?” Umemiya Natsuhiko was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help laughing, “Do you think you are Echizen Ryoma?! Hahahaha!”
