I teach judo in Tokyo.

Atobe Sousuke nodded: "Go on."

Sakura Sojiro glanced at Yae, then looked back at Atobe Sousuke: "The first thing is to confirm Atobe-sensei's strength level. May I ask, Atobe-sensei, what is your current actual strength level?"

Sosuke scratched his head: "I can't answer your question right away."

“Let me put it this way…” Sakura Sojiro thought for a moment, then took out his phone, opened a video, and handed it to Sousuke.

Sosuke glanced at the video, which showed two strong men fighting in the octagon. The fight was quite intense, and the fighters looked to be even better than the top MMA fighters he had seen in his previous life.

Clearly, not only are the top experts in this world far beyond the level that normal people should have, but even the strongest among normal people are more powerful than those he saw in his previous life.

Based on his recollections, he believed that the level of a world champion-level fighter from his previous life, according to the system's rating system, should be around "15".

With Sousuke's current eyesight, the two boxers in the video are both around level "20", which is the peak that ordinary people in this world can reach.

"These are two world-class fighting champions competing in mixed martial arts. Mr. Atobe, what do you think would happen if you faced either of them?"

Sakura Sojiro, observing Sousuke's expression, asked softly.

Sosuke watched the video for a while longer, then tilted his head and thought for a moment: "I think... a draw shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Pfft..." Yae Meixuan, who was drinking coffee next to Sousuke, almost choked on her drink when she heard Sousuke's words.

She quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her mouth, suppressing a laugh as she glared at Sosuke.

Kid, you're such a show-off!

Sakura Sojiro was speechless: "Mr. Atobe, please stop joking. The two people in the video couldn't possibly break through the entire Golden Eagle Flag by themselves."

“How do you know they can’t do it if you don’t bring them over and try? It’s not like fifty people are all rushing at you.” Atobe Sousuke swayed his chin. “I feel that if striking techniques can be used, a world champion could easily defeat fifty people one-on-one in a row.”

“Hiss… If you put it that way, it doesn’t seem wrong…” Sakura Sojiro fell into deep thought.

Akiyama Kaede glanced at Sakura speechlessly: "Section Chief, don't get caught up in his tricks. First, he's competing in judo, which requires a lot of effort to throw people. Throwing fifty people in a row, even if it's spread over two days, is something no ordinary person can do. Second, his opponents are also judo practitioners who practice diligently, not just ordinary people."

Tsk, lady, you're so sensitive!

Sosuke glanced at Akiyama Kaede and thought that this future contact was a little too perceptive.

Akiyama Kaede returned his gaze with a calm look.

"Alright, stop worrying about this." Yae Meixuan couldn't stand it anymore. "Just treat him as a normal 'fierce' level character."

As she spoke, she glared at Sosuke, who was about to say something: "Stop pretending. You're about to fight that snake-bite guy. He's a ferocious-level fighter. No matter how much you pretend, you'll be exposed after that fight in a few days."

"Huh!?" Sakura Sojiro was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly asked, "Will Atobe-san be participating in the 'Death Clash' soon?"

Then something else occurred to him: "Wait—Snake Bite Style? Mr. Atobe couldn't possibly fight against that top-tier Snake Fang Hisanobu..."

"So the person you're going to fight is his disciple, Atsushi Yokoi?"

"Yes, we have some grudges against them." Sosuke nodded.

Sakura Sojiro's expression turned serious: "Mr. Atobe, making enemies with the Snake Bite School is not a good thing, and according to the latest news..."

He glanced at Yae Meixuan, hesitated for a moment, and said, "According to the latest news, Snake Fang Hisanobu has already made contact with that organization and should now be one of their 'cadres'."

Yae Meixuan immediately sat up, frowning: "You mean, Snake Fang Hisanoshin is on the list of the World-Ringing Serpent?"

"That's right!"

Chapter 197 Methods of Control

"Tsk..."

Yae Meigen frowned immediately upon hearing Sakura Sojiro's information.

She thought for a moment, then turned to Atobe Sousuke and said, "If that's the case, I think you should reconsider. If Snakebite Stream gets on board with the World Serpent, it won't be a small fry anymore. Are you sure you still want to fight to the death with Yokoi?"

"After all, if you really kill his last disciple, that Snake Fang Hisanoshin will definitely not let it go."

Sousuke raised an eyebrow: "Isn't Yae-nee here? You shouldn't be afraid of that Snake Fang, right?"

Yae Meixuan remained noncommittal: "Whether I'm afraid of him or not has nothing to do with you. He's the one who's going to cause you trouble."

Sosuke chuckled: "Sis, I'm one of yours. If he causes trouble for me, it's the same as him causing trouble for you."

This kid is shameless!

However, his attitude was very clear—he didn't want to back down.

"Then let's stick to the original plan."

Yae Meixuan took a deep breath, no longer dwelling on Sosuke's words, and directly said to Sakura, "The sudden acquisition of a top-tier Japanese expert means that the Serpent of the World is definitely going to make moves in this country. If you have any relevant information, please have someone send it to me when you get back."

“Okay, I’ll go back and inform Section 3. After all, it was their section that contacted you.” Sakura Sojiro shrugged.

Yae Meixuan nodded and sat back down on the sofa: "You guys continue."

Atobe Sousuke also quietly gestured for Sakura-san to speak.

Sakura Sojiro pondered for a few seconds: "Then let's follow Ms. Yae's suggestion and classify Mr. Atobe's file as 'evil'."

He continued, "According to the restrictions imposed by the Countermeasures Bureau, Mr. Atobe, you are required to restrain your strength from now on, and are not allowed to display martial prowess far exceeding what ordinary people perceive in public, nor are you allowed to participate in any international-level public competitions..."

“Wait a minute…” Sosuke raised his hand to indicate, “What level do you mean by international-level open competitions? Does the Japanese National High School Championship count?”

Sakura Sojiro replied earnestly: "The so-called international level refers to open competitions with athletes from different countries, such as the World Championships, the Olympic Games, etc. This is a consensus reached by all countries in the world - it is not allowed to rely on the strength of the strong to take away the competition results of ordinary people."

"Isn't this a bit too unfair?" Atobe Sousuke shrugged. "While I'm not that kind of person, there are always some strong individuals who chase fame and fortune, right? There's nothing wrong with wanting to win the world championship, isn't there?"

Sakura Sojiro chuckled upon hearing Sousuke's rebuttal: "If there are indeed strong individuals with such interests, that's fine, but..."

He paused, then launched into a long explanation: "To ensure fairness for ordinary people, this strong competitor will be subject to the strictest monitoring by an international organization jointly established by various countries during the competition. They will wear the most sophisticated monitoring equipment, and the entire competition will be recorded by high-speed cameras and analyzed in real time by a team of experts. If it is discovered that the strong competitor is using abilities 'exceeding the limit,' they will be immediately disqualified and banned from further competition on charges of doping..."

Sousuke's eyes widened slightly: "That's really strict..."

Well, it seems that the major governments around the world are quite willing to put in a lot of effort to maintain the emotional stability of the vast majority of ordinary people...

Sakura Sojiro smiled slightly: "After all, 99% of the people in this world are ordinary people. By the way, you mentioned the National High School Tournament earlier. Did you participate?"

“Yes, I participated in both kendo and judo,” Atobe Sousuke said. “If the requirements are that strict, then I will have to withdraw from the competition.”

“No need for that.” Sakura Sojiro waved his hand. “Although I don’t encourage strong people to participate, it’s fine to participate in a domestic-level event like this, especially a ‘fighting’ competition. Just be careful, limit yourself, and don’t do anything that is obviously beyond our understanding.”

Sosuke nodded, relieved. "I understand. Are there any other requests?"

"Have."

"Huh? There really is one?"

Sakura Sojiro looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, there are some regulatory requirements, all for the sake of social stability. Please understand, Mr. Atobe."

Sosuke glanced at the other person and said, "Let me make this clear first, I have a bottom line. I will absolutely not accept having cameras installed in my house."

"No, no, that's not true!" Sakura Sojiro quickly waved his hand.

So he quickly gave Sosuke a complete explanation of the official requirements for supervising the strong.

Sosuke summarized the main points as follows:

When a person's abilities are clearly abnormal compared to those of a normal person, they will immediately attract the attention of the authorities, who will dispatch a special person—that is, an agent from the Bureau of Abnormalities—to make contact and initiate control measures.

The stronger a entity is, the stronger the control measures it is subject to.

This includes, but is not limited to, reporting to the authorities on time every so often, or even being required to carry a GPS tracking device.

Among them, those who are powerful and have a long history of criminal offenses may even be monitored by the authorities 24 hours a day.

Generally, no powerful person would attempt to defy official authority.

Ordinary "fierce" level powerhouses would most likely be outmatched if they faced well-trained armed police officers or even a special agency like the Abnormal Countermeasures Bureau, which is specifically trained to deal with powerful individuals.

A master of the "ultimate" level might be able to break through the official capture, but in the future, they will basically only be able to lose their public identity and status, and flee and hide in the dark side of society, living a life of wandering.

Of course, a master of the highest or even the most powerful level, if they could successfully break through the encirclement and smuggle themselves into those small, chaotic countries with weak governments, might be able to live quite comfortably by relying on their personal strength—at most, they would never set foot in those powerful countries in their lifetime.

Therefore, Sosuke can make a preliminary judgment that he was deceived by Atsushi Yokoi.

According to Uncle Sakura, Atsushi Yokoi is actually under close government surveillance because of his past crimes against ordinary people. He has received a stern warning from the authorities and is being continuously monitored and tracked by them. If he commits another crime, he will be arrested.

In other words, the "threat" that Yokoi Atsushi once made to him—that if Sousuke didn't engage in a deathmatch with him, he would attack the people around Sousuke—is basically impossible to carry out.

Because if he actually did it, he would be arrested by the authorities and forced to flee for his life.

In contrast to Yokoi, his master, "Serpent Fang Hisanobu," has remained low-key and quiet for a long time. The official control level has been lowered year by year, so much so that his secret joining of the Ring Serpent went unnoticed.

"In short, as long as I behave myself, I only need to go to your bureau once a month with Ms. Akiyama to report, and there won't be any problems, right?"

"That's right. When you report, you need to tell us about any special activities you had that month, such as participating in the Death Frenzy Showdown or something."

Sakura Sojiro said with a smile.

Chapter 198 It has nothing to do with me, it's you.

After conveying the official control conditions, the two left their contact information with Atobe Sousuke and then prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Sakura Sojiro patted Atobe Sousuke on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Brother Atobe, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Times have changed. The intimidating power of so-called 'top strongmen' has gone from being 'enemies of ten thousand men' in the era of cold weapons, to declining in the era of firearms, and now being fully exposed in the information age. The situation of subverting a state through 'individual force' is a thing of the past. I hope you will be careful with your words and actions in the future, and don't go astray!"

"Don't worry, brother." Sosuke patted the other's back with a grin. "I think there's nothing wrong with living a peaceful life. As long as no one bothers me, I definitely won't cause trouble."

"That's good!" Sakura Sojiro smiled broadly, then pointed to the quiet Akiyama Kaede beside him, "Akiyama will be assigned to work as an administrator in a shell company in Tokyo, but her real job is to serve you, so if you encounter any problems, just call her. You can treat her as your secretary or personal assistant."

"She's a famous beauty in our countermeasures department. As the section chief, I give you special permission to pursue her!"

After saying that, he gave Sosuke that manly smile and winked at him.

Akiyama Kaede, standing next to him, adjusted his glasses but did not refute the section chief's statement.

“Oh…” Sosuke glanced at the blonde beauty and nodded seriously, “Okay, I will get along well with Ms. Akiyama.”

I can't be indecent, the beautiful master next to me is watching!

Then, Sakura Sojiro and Akiyama Kaede left.

After watching the two leave, Sousuke turned around and saw Yae Meigen staring at him with the look of someone looking at trash.

"Tsk, I've assigned you a stunningly beautiful little assistant..." The beautiful master looked disdainful.

Atobe Sousuke glanced at her, then suddenly laughed, squeezing past her as he did so. "What's wrong, Master-neechan, are you jealous?"

"Who's jealous!" The beautiful master turned her head away, looking completely indifferent.

"Don't worry, my body is more than capable of feeding you."

Sosuke chuckled softly and reached under his kimono.

......

***

In the middle of the night, Yae Meixuan shook her head back and forth, her head covered in sweat.

"Master, I didn't expect you to actually enjoy exercising."

While eating his midnight snack, Sosuke mumbled praises of his beautiful master's efforts.

"You... could you please not call me Master at a time like this? It feels... weird..." Yae Meixuan gasped for breath, looking annoyed.

I originally just planned to come to this brat tonight to discuss the newly acquired information on the Snakebite Technique, but somehow he's started training instead.

It's outrageous!

Sosuke shook his head, still eating his midnight snack, which startled the beautiful teacher, who exclaimed, "Hey! Don't shake your head!"

“This is when you should be called a master, and I find it very motivating,” he said seriously.

Nonsense, what else should I call him if not "master" when my beautiful master is training him?

"You...you're crazy!" Yae Meixuan wanted to curse him, but she shuddered and almost lost her balance.

"Master, be careful!" Sosuke immediately reached out and supported the beautiful master's waist, helping her pull.

With Sosuke's help, the beautiful master felt as if she had divine assistance. She felt her mind was going blank and all she wanted to do was practice faster so that she could discuss important matters with him as soon as possible.

Seeing the beautiful master training so diligently, Atobe Sousuke couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of a top-tier expert, she is so disciplined. Even her pre-sleep training is so intense."

The intensity of the exercise left Sousuke speechless, and he couldn't help but think of the theme song from a shonen drama he had seen in his previous life—

Slide up and slide down, pull in and release!
