I teach judo in Tokyo.

Chapter 162 Capturing the Flag!

Kunio Takiya fell heavily to the ground, completely stunned.

He had no idea what was going on.

"A foul!!!"

The referee realized what was happening and angrily announced it loudly.

He truly never expected that someone would dare to kick someone so brazenly at a nationally renowned judo competition like the Golden Eagle Flag!

This completely disregards his role as referee.

Therefore, although Sosuke's way of throwing his opponent down was not a standard move and did not meet the scoring requirements.

He decisively and cleanly penalized Takiya Kunio to a loss.

Sousuke straightened up and looked speechlessly at the bewildered Takiya Kunio on the ground, saying, "What were you thinking, kicking someone in a judo match..."

Takiya Kunio snapped out of his daze, quickly scrambling to his feet and looking intently at Atobe Sousuke: "Damn it, if it were a fight, I wouldn't lose..."

"If it were a no-rules battle, you would already be dead."

Sosuke looked coldly at Kunio and interrupted him directly.

He has never had much patience for people who have no self-awareness.

Kunio looked at Sousuke's cold eyes, his face stiffened, and he was speechless for a moment.

However, he quickly realized—if he didn't even understand how his opponent had knocked him down, then if the opponent wanted to kill him, it wouldn't be so easy...

He shut his mouth.

Finally, Kunio, looking unwilling, was sent off the field.

Among the subsequent participants, apart from a general named Ali who was quite strong, the others, although also strong among ordinary high school students, were no match for Sousuke and were easily defeated by him.

The outcome is decided!

"The winner is the Hefeng High School team!!!"

The referee announced the outcome.

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the entire audience.

Fifty consecutive wins!

Sosuke successfully captured the flag all by himself!

Before he could do anything, his teammates and disciples outside the arena excitedly rushed onto the field and completely surrounded him.

Everyone jumped and danced around him, even more excited than he was.

His handsome face was shown in close-up on the big screen by the organizers, and his nonchalant expression clearly showed that he won too easily.

He defeated fifty opponents in a row, effortlessly dominating the entire Golden Eagle Flag tournament single-handedly.

Add to that his calm and handsome face, which exudes a touch of elegance and refinement.

Excited media outlets unanimously wrote down similar titles in their notebooks.

The noble son of judo!

Then, after completing all the routine rituals, they went offstage to wait.

This time, it didn't take long before the closing ceremony of the Golden Eagle Flag competition arrived, which was also the time for the awards ceremony.

All the participating teams came down and lined up again. Thousands of people formed a dense, dark mass, and gathered orderly in the center of the field, all looking toward the podium.

It was only then that Sosuke discovered that the higher-ups at Tsurumine School had already sent people over.

He was an old man. Judging from how Hojo-sensei addressed him, he seemed to be the principal, and his surname was "Ōkawa".

Comparing it with the original owner's memories, it was indeed the principal.

Judging from his tired appearance, it seemed as if he had rushed here from Tokyo overnight.

Despite the fatigue, his beaming smile clearly showed that he was happy with the hard work and wished he could do it a few more times.

Principal Okawa even came to Sosuke's side, holding Sosuke's hand with a big smile and praising him for a long time.

Before he arrived, he had already asked the school to immediately retrieve Atobe Sousuke's information. He never expected that this child was actually a top student admitted by the school based on "excellent academic performance".

He originally thought that the child who could achieve such amazing results must be a "sports prodigy"!

It was a pleasant surprise.

In addition to the majestic Golden Eagle Flag, which features a soaring eagle, the Golden Eagle Award also comes with a corresponding trophy.

Moreover, every member of the flag-capturing team receives their own gold medal and certificate.

Therefore, while the men's competition was entirely carried by Sousuke, the women's competition was carried by Emi and Yumi.

However, the other members of the team did not express any dissatisfaction.

After all, he won without lifting a finger, taking home what is practically the highest award in high school judo competitions.

Besides the Golden Eagle Banner, people like Sousuke who fight multiple opponents without a single defeat can also receive a corresponding "Fighting Spirit Award" certificate.

In particular, Sosuke's "Fifty-Man Fighting Prize," which is of such high value, is unprecedented and probably no one will ever be able to achieve it again.

So when he went up to receive his award certificate, many bigwigs, including the organizers, came up to him with smiles and took photos with him.

Among them were several elderly men with an average judo ranking of over "15" who asked about his school with kind expressions, clearly intending to recruit him.

Sosuke didn't show any disrespect to these "big shots," but instead smiled and accepted their business cards.

What's that saying again? When you're out in the world, having more friends means having more options. You never know when you might need their help.

After receiving the award from the organizers, Hefeng High School failed to abscond this time.

The media team, who had been eyeing the contestants and had been repeatedly thwarted by Sosuke's escape attempts, formed a human wall in advance and even blocked the contestants' passage. Even when the organizers sent people to disperse them, it was completely ineffective.

They finally managed to capture Sosuke and his group.

Surrounded in a corner of the arena, Sosuke and his three female disciples trembled helplessly, their eyes nearly blinded by the continuous barrage of flashes from the cameras.

Given this situation, unless Sosuke opens a "liberation" order, he will have no chance to escape.

Left with no other choice, everyone had to obediently cooperate with the numerous reporters taking photos and asking questions.

A dashing and handsome young man paired with three beautiful and youthful girls—their stunning good looks immediately ignited the reporters' gossip-loving instincts.

The initial questions were about my thoughts on the game or my feelings about winning.

As they asked more questions, they began to focus on the relationship between Sousuke and the three girls.

Then they started asking him to say which girl he had the highest level of affection for.

Just kidding, we're from the same school, even the same class and the same club.

The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. They were inseparable before and after the competition, and there were several instances of them having very intimate contact.

It's impossible for reporters not to assume they're in a romantic relationship.

Fortunately, the soul inside Sosuke's body is somewhat of an experienced adult, so he can only be careful in this situation and use watertight language to deal with all kinds of tricky and leading questions.

As for the three female disciples, the cheerful and lively Yumi Mifune was ordered by Sousuke in advance not to speak carelessly.

Wu Fang Suzi experienced a similar situation when she won the Yulongqi and other competitions last year, and she remained quite calm throughout.

As for her deskmate, Yotsuba Saki, she closed her eyes and shyly hid behind Sousuke.

All three kept their mouths shut, preventing the reporter from extracting any useful information.

After struggling for more than ten minutes, the organizers, realizing something was wrong, dispatched a security team and successfully dispersed the reporters.

This also signifies that Sosuke's journey under the Golden Eagle Flag has finally come to an end.

As Sousuke was comfortably lounging on the sofa on his way home, Motoko Itako reminded him.

"Don't forget, you are still a general of the Jade Dragon Banner."

"what??"

He had really forgotten about it.

Chapter 163 Are there people my age who are better than me?

Motoko Gofuku stared silently at Sousuke Atobe, her eyes filled with a hint of disdain.

stare! (￣へ￣)

She asked in a very confident tone, "Shi Fan, you've already forgotten that we're going to raise the Jade Dragon Flag next, haven't you?"

Atobe Sousuke chuckled and sat up from the soft cushion: "How could that be... I'm always reliable!"

“But you seem quite indifferent,” said Wu Fang Suzi calmly.

Sosuke quickly found an excuse: "Because the men's Jade Dragon Flag has Tenkoji-no-goe as the vanguard, right? He's quite strong, so I'll just wait for him to carry me."

Wufang Suzi shook her head: "Relying solely on Tenkoji-senpai is not enough. Although his swordsmanship is among the strongest of all male high school students in the country, in reality, he is only around the top sixteen. Above him, there are many talented players who will definitely not miss the Jade Dragon Flag."

Sousuke scratched his head: "A genius swordsman? Even better than Motoko?"

Wu Fang Suzi nodded calmly: "Of course, there are at least several people who are more powerful than me."

She looked at Sosuke: "Does the teacher's college think that my swordsmanship is better than the best among the boys my age?"

"Isn't that right?" Sosuke retorted directly.

"Uh..." Motoko Itako hesitated for a moment, then a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips. "Thank you for your recognition, Master..."

She composed herself and continued, "I started learning swordsmanship after graduating from junior high school. I haven't been learning for very long. Although I have a lot of talent in it and won various championships in the women's group in my first year, the reason for this is that girls are generally not as talented as boys in sports, which is why I was able to dominate."

Yumi Mifune, standing nearby, exclaimed, "Wow! Motoko, you're already this good after only one year of training!?"

She grabbed Wu Fang Suzi's arm and said, "Suzi, I admire you so much!"

Motoko Itō smiled gently and couldn't help but pat Yumi Mifune's head: "Yumi, you're amazing too. I heard you only started seriously practicing judo in high school, right?"

Yumi Mifune shook her head: "That's not the same. Although I only started practicing judo seriously in high school, I'm a member of the Mifune family. Almost the whole family are judo practitioners. I've been exposed to it since I was a child, so I have a solid foundation and can pick it up very quickly."

Motoko Gofuku smiled slightly: "Me too. I loved samurai stories when I was a child, and when I started learning swordsmanship, I went straight to Master Yae to learn, so it's understandable that I progressed faster."

When Yae Meixuan heard Suzi mention her, she immediately turned around from the passenger seat and proudly gave a thumbs up: "Of course, my teaching quality is top-notch!"

Your figure is even better!

Sosuke's sharp gaze swept over the cushioning pad that swayed as she turned around, and he curled his lip.

Then he interrupted his two disciples' casual mutual flattery: "Alright, you'll become stronger and stronger as you learn from me. Suzi, why don't you tell us first what kind of sword masters the Jade Dragon Banner will have?"

Motoko thought for a moment: "In my memory, there are several strong people, such as last year's Jade Dragon Flag winner, 'Genshichiro Ashina'. However, he was already a third-year student when he participated last year, and he will not participate in the high school competition this year."

She continued, "According to the information collected by the Kendo Club, there are two veteran prodigies who will be participating this year—"

"Kashima Shinto-ryu - Tsukahara Soichiro"

"Yagyu Shininryu - Yagyu Ninety-nine."

Motoko Gofuku said two names, looking at Sousuke Atobe with a very serious expression: "Master, although you are indeed very strong, it will probably not be so easy to win against either of these two. Please prepare well."

Sousuke stroked his chin: "These are all famous schools of martial arts, renowned throughout Japan and even the world. Judging from their surnames, they are all direct descendants of the main lineage, right?"

Wufang Suzi nodded: "That's right. Both of them are genius swordsmen who have been practicing swordsmanship since childhood under the guidance of their family's masters. If they hadn't both happened to be in high school these past few years, either of them would have been able to dominate high school swordsmanship."

"So, from Motoko's perspective, how much stronger are they than you?" Atobe Sousuke asked curiously.

Wufang Suzi tilted her head and thought for a moment. Her usual aloof demeanor was surprisingly cute when she acted like this.

Then she said, "Before I learned the Wuxiang Sword, they could easily defeat me. Now they are still stronger, but I have a slight chance to turn the tables."

Yae Meixuan, who was in front, immediately turned around, unconvinced: "Suko, I'm not trying to criticize you, but when I was teaching you, you wouldn't listen and insisted on learning that 'tooth thrust' move. If you had properly learned my self-created special move from me, you could have easily turned the tables on them!"

Wu Fang Suzi was somewhat embarrassed: "Master, I didn't say I wouldn't learn... I just want to learn the tooth-like projection first, it's simpler..."

Yae Meixuan turned around angrily.

Sousuke, standing nearby, tried to smooth things over for Motoko and changed the subject: "So you mean, if I can beat you, they can beat you too, so you think they're just as good as me?"

Motoko Goka nodded—in fact, she felt that if it weren't for Sousuke's ability to always use incredibly powerful special moves, his "basic skills" would probably not be as solid as those of the genius contestants.

However, she didn't say it out loud. Although she had low emotional intelligence, she still had some.

Sousuke nodded to indicate that he understood. He still trusted Motoko Gofuku's information, as this disciple had a particularly strong sense of 'swordsmanship'.
