I teach judo in Tokyo.

"Yes, Yotsuba looks rather frail. Don't frighten her."

The other two girls, after hearing Yumi Mifune's instructions, walked away with giggles.

Yumi Mifune made an angry face: (╬￣皿￣)

"Don't slander me!" she said, looking at Yotsuba Saki. "Yotsuba-kun, let me teach you the basics of judo today!"

Yotsuba Saki turned her head and glanced at Atobe Sousuke, who was surrounded by many club members. Her eyes behind her glasses showed admiration.

Sosuke's judo is really amazing... I need to learn it as soon as possible so he'll be impressed!

She turned around and nodded earnestly to Yumi Mifune.

"I will study hard!"

***

So, after Atobe Sousuke finished dealing with wave after wave of questions and returned to the girls, he saw the following scene—

With Yumi Mifune staring in disbelief, Saki Yotsuba swept her to the ground with a perfectly executed foot sweep.

"Hey, class monitor, you managed to get swept away like that?" Sosuke teased with a grin.

Yumi Mifune sprang to her feet with a somersault, her face flushed red: "I'm cooperating! Do you understand what cooperating means?!"

Sosuke tugged at her braid: "Of course I know you're just playing along. What do you think? My disciple is quite talented, isn't she?"

Your disciple?

Yumi Mifune looked shocked: (°Д°)

After saying that, Sosuke ignored Mifune Yumi, who was stunned by his words, and turned back to look at his beloved deskmate.

After half an hour of impromptu instruction, Yotsuba Saki was now a little out of breath, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. However, she could still keep her glasses firmly on her face, which was a unique skill of hers.

Perhaps it's these black-rimmed glasses that are her main feature.

Seeing Sosuke looking over, the little classmate blushed and greeted him politely, "Sosuke-kun, you're busy over there, I'll practice with Mifune-kun for a bit..."

Sosuke smiled and said, "In less than half an hour, you've already managed to do a pretty decent 'outstep' (a type of footwork). I knew I wasn't wrong; you're a genius in this area!"

When Yotsuba Saki heard Sousuke's praise, she lowered her head shyly, but her heart was filled with joy.

Sosuke praised me.

It wasn't until the two had exchanged a couple of sentences that Yumi Mifune, whose brain had short-circuited after Sousuke's remark, jumped up: "Atobe-kun, you just said that Saki Yotsuba is your disciple!?"

Sosuke nodded: "Yes, is it strange? I discovered her talent a long time ago."

"So..." Yumi Mifune asked blankly, "You're really taking on students and teaching martial arts?"

Sousuke: "Strictly speaking, it's a self-defense technique. At this stage, I'm teaching judo."

Yumi Mifune glanced at Saki Yotsuba a few more times, her face lighting up with excitement: "Yotsuba-kun! Let's do some special training! With you here, maybe our girls' team can even try out for the national tournament next year!"

Yotsuba Saki hasn't answered yet.

Sosuke first pressed Mifune's little head and moved it aside: "Mifune, don't you dare steal it. It's fine for Saki to spar with you, but she's my disciple, so I have to teach her."

"Ugh... Waaah..." Mifune's face was twisted by Sosuke's pressure. She pushed Sosuke's hand away. "Atobe-kun, although you are very good at judo, when it comes to teaching, our Mifune family is no worse than you, right?"

"But I'm better than you."

Sousuke killed the game with a single sentence, leaving Yumi Mifune speechless.

After today's battle, at least with Yumi's discerning eye, it's clear that Atobe Sousuke is indeed a highly skilled judoka.

After dismissing the class monitor, Sousuke turned back to his second disciple and asked, "Saki, what did the class monitor teach you?"

"Yes... there are warm-up exercises, stretching exercises... and recovery exercises... I even tried out that foot technique just now."

Yotsuba Saki obediently described to Atobe Sousuke what she had just learned.

Sousuke had Yotsuba Saki demonstrate everything she had learned to him.

As it turned out, my little classmate truly lived up to his SSR rating from the system; in less than half an hour, he had effortlessly mastered the basic content.

Amazing talent.

I had just finished checking Yotsuba Saki's study progress when a notification suddenly popped up in front of me.

[Disciple: Yotsuba Saki]

Today's teaching task: Judo basics instruction (completed), reward 5000 yen, final reward after bonus is 50000 yen.

Atobe Sousuke was startled, but then beamed with joy.

This system is quite user-friendly; even if the disciple completes the teaching content independently without his personal instruction, it is still considered as completing the task.

Sosuke raised his chin slightly.

When he looked at his own panel earlier, he saw that the system had given him a corresponding level of permissions.

His current authority level is still level 0. He can only be promoted to the next level after his first disciple learns the basics of the protective technique.

My little classmate is so talented, maybe we can speed up her teaching pace to raise her access level as soon as possible and see what other functions the system can add to her.

Having made up his mind, he ignored the teaching tasks given by the system and began to teach his classmate the remaining content directly.

Throwing techniques include the kick, the inside cut, and the one-handed shoulder throw.

Left and right straight punches from the side.

Dormitory skills... there's not enough time, and the occasion isn't right, so I won't teach them yet.

One dares to teach, and the other dares to learn.

Yotsuba Saki, who had just started learning judo, displayed incredible talent and quickly mastered the postures of several techniques under the personal guidance of Sousuke.

The speed of her learning left Yumi Mifune, who was watching from the sidelines, dumbfounded.

Could it be that geniuses really exist in this world?

This was the only thought that remained after Mifune Yumi watched the whole thing.

Chapter 24 The Ultimate Path Arrives

Today's club activities ended quickly as Sosuke carefully instructed his little classmate.

After changing back into their school uniforms, the group said goodbye to each other.

Sousuke left the club with Yotsuba Saki.

Then, in the school corridor outside the club, he saw two cautious girls.

A mature makeup look, and clothing that is deliberately different from normal student uniforms.

It's those two female delinquents I dealt with yesterday.

When Sousuke noticed them, they also saw Sousuke and Yotsuba Saki.

The two approached cautiously, glancing fearfully at Sousuke who remained silent with a smile, their faces hesitant: "Atobe-kun... we came here specifically to tell you something..."

Sosuke could guess most of it just by looking at their expressions: "So, they arrived so quickly?"

"Yes, the Yan Jian group has already gathered some men, saying they're going to teach you a lesson..." The two female delinquents quickly relayed what they knew to Sosuke, then nervously looked at the tall, silent boy. "We've kept our promise and informed you in advance, is that alright...?"

Sosuke waved his hand, indicating that the two of them could leave.

He then looked at Yotsuba Saki, who was standing beside him with a worried expression: "Saki, stay at school for a while. I'll go out and deal with those people, then I'll come back to pick you up."

Yotsuba Saki looked up at Sousuke, her eyes pleading: "Sousuke-kun, please don't go out. We can find the school teachers, or we can call the police."

Sousuke slowly shook his head, not taking Yotsuba Saki's suggestion.

He knew it was useless.

After dealing with those three yakuza youths yesterday, he immediately went online to check things out at home that night and finally came to a conclusion.

The world he transmigrated to was similar to his previous life, but it also had many seemingly similar yet different aspects.

Simply put, although this is Japan and Tokyo, it is actually a parallel world.

Strictly speaking, the Japan he is currently in is somewhat like a technologically advanced country that has entered the information age, but its customs and power structure are like a combination of the old era.

Elements such as extreme practices, entrenched family power, chaos, strong personalities, and passion are everywhere.

In such a social structure, the idea of ​​dealing with yakuza groups by calling the police or seeking help from schools is practically a pipe dream.

It's not that it's completely useless, but rather that "you can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth."

As an "ordinary person" with no money or power, the only way to deal with the yakuza is to beat them into submission.

Let these yakuza know that offending him will have serious consequences and will be a complete loss.

Only in this way will he find peace in the future.

Therefore, Sosuke simply handed his schoolbag to his classmate, forcefully demanding that she stay on campus, and left the school alone.

What he didn't see was that no sooner had he left than Yotsuba Saki took out her phone and dialed a number.

Standing under a large tree on campus, Yotsuba Saki was talking on the phone.

The lenses of her black-rimmed glasses reflected a faint light, and her expression appeared very calm.

***

As soon as he stepped out of the school gate, Atobe Sousuke keenly noticed a young man on the road peeking in the direction of Tsurumine's school gate.

And upon seeing him, she brazenly revealed a mocking smile and picked up her phone to send a text message.

He was informing his companions.

After sending the message, he put down his phone, looked up, and met Sosuke's gaze across the street.

Then, he revealed a malicious smile, slowly raised his right hand into a chopstick shape, and made a gesture as if to slit Sosuke's throat.

Sousuke watched the other person's movements expressionlessly.

This person must be one of the lackeys assigned by Yan Jian's group to keep an eye on things.

As Sosuke had expected, no one would openly come to the school to confront a student.

Even if he had called the police, it would have been useless. When the police arrived, they wouldn't have seen anyone who posed a direct threat to his personal safety.

On the contrary, the yakuza can keep at it indefinitely until he's alone one day...

Since we can't avoid it, we might as well take the initiative.

Having made up his mind, Atobe Sousuke strode quickly toward the yakuza thug who was watching him.

Then, under the astonished gazes of the yakuza, he looked down at them and said, "No need to notify anyone, just lead the way."

The yakuza was initially surprised, then a provocative smile appeared on his lips: "Oh, is the judo master scared and ready to admit his mistake?"

"Those three guys said you were pretty arrogant yesterday, weren't you?" he said, reaching out to slap Sosuke's face.

They enjoy humiliating their opponents with these underhanded tactics when they believe they are in control.

However, Sosuke wasn't buying it.

Sousuke firmly grasped the yakuza's outstretched right hand.

Despite the other party's shocked and angry expression, he remained calm, his lowered eyes sharp and piercing: "Those three didn't tell you, did they? What I said before..."

"Idiot, who knows what those three good-for-nothings said!" The yakuza in front of him was furious and about to kick Sosuke.

"Crack!"

It was accompanied by a sharp, teeth-grinding crack.

With a scream, the yakuza collapsed to his knees, tears and snot streaming down his face.

Passersby looked over in surprise, but after seeing that the person kneeling on the ground was a tattooed yakuza, they immediately looked away and quickly left.

Sousuke, gripping the other man's already broken wrist, said calmly, head bowed, "I told you, if you ever appear before me again, I'll break your arms—besides, when I asked you to lead the way, it wasn't to beg for mercy..."

"It is an order."

"Do you understand?"

After saying that, Sosuke easily released his hand.

The yakuza, whose wrist had been snapped, stared in horror at the expressionless high school student before him. He dared not utter another word and turned away silently, walking quickly in the other direction of the street.

Atobe Sousuke stepped forward to catch up.
