I teach judo in Tokyo.

This was a rare moment of alone time with Suko.

Ever since that night at the barbecue party when I played a virtual reality game with Suzuko Goto, which was quite enjoyable, I haven't had a chance to practice my gaming skills with her again.

The kendo girl was probably too traumatized by that incident, because for the next few days she secretly locked her door at night.

This prevented Sousuke from launching night raids whenever he wanted.

Now that he can finally taste it again, the taste is just as good as before, which makes Sosuke quite addicted.

What follows is a whole series of techniques derived from a man's genetic instincts.

Once the lips are attacked for more than a few seconds, the hands will involuntarily begin to automatically unleash a combo.

Faced with Sosuke's continuous attacks, Motoko Itaka's defensive perimeter was gradually broken down.

First, the Mariana Trench on the lower route was lost.

Immediately afterwards, Sosuke also completely controlled the two high grounds on the upper route.

Sosuke could change the shape of the cushioning pad at will, according to his own preferences.

The kendo girl didn't understand so many intricacies. Faced with her master's control, she could only tightly clench her hands, leaving everything else to Atobe Sousuke's whims.

......

Outside the alley, in the heart of Hokkaido at night, countless vehicles come and go.

Occasionally, pedestrians and tourists passing by on the sidewalk outside will hear strange wailing sounds coming from this narrow alley, as if they are hallucinating.

A few curious people also tried to stop and tilt their heads to look into the alley.

However, due to the lack of light, the depths of the alley were shadowy and it was difficult to discern what was there.

After a long while, several Hokkaido high school girls passed by the alleyway chattering away, and then they also keenly heard the sobbing sound.

One of the dark-skinned, hot girls with excellent eyesight peeked out, then immediately turned her head back, her ears turning red.

Several companions immediately surrounded her, asking her with curiosity what she had seen.

The dark-skinned hot girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then reached out and grabbed her long hair to mimic a high ponytail.

Then, pretending that someone grabbed her high ponytail from behind, she shook her head back and forth.

Then I opened my mouth and started eating the cheese sausage I had just bought.

With that mischievous grin on her face, her companions immediately realized what was going on, and the group of hot girls laughed and joked as they walked away.

The scene then shifts back to the alley.

Sosuke gently patted Motoko Itaka's head and then gave her a pat as encouragement.

The kendo girl squatted on the ground, raised her sharp eyes beneath her willow-leaf eyebrows, and glared at Sosuke with a rather speechless expression.

Then, she gulped down a large mouthful of mineral water and spat it out.

I didn't drink a drop of the small bottle of mineral water; I used it all to rinse my mouth.

Then, the kendo girl, her ears burning red, forced herself to remain calm, stood up gracefully, and turned to walk out of the alley.

She was afraid that if she stayed here any longer, this perverted teacher would try something else on her.

Sosuke chuckled and quickly followed.

......

Chapter 240 Berserk Blood

August 10, Hokkaido Prefectural Gymnasium.

The opening ceremony of the National Judo Championships has concluded.

"It's finally over, Sousuke. How are you feeling?"

The judo captain, Iga Yahiko, smiled as he looked at the bored Atobe Sousuke.

Sousuke calmly waved his hand: "I'm in the best possible condition. But you, Captain, is your hand even better yet?"

“Of course, no problem.” Iga Yahiko moved his previously injured shoulder vigorously in front of Sousuke. “I followed the doctor’s orders very well, and the recovery is perfect!”

"That's it!" Sosuke exclaimed with unwavering confidence.

With his current judo skills, even without using any system techniques, he could completely dominate the entire high school judo world.

As long as no monster like him appears...

“We still need to be careful. This year, we have that Kenichi Shirakawa. He’s very strong.” Yahiko Iga reminded Sousuke. “Even based on the strength he showed a year ago, he’s already stronger than the Takitani you defeated on the Golden Eagle Banner.”

"Don't worry, Minister." Sosuke smiled. "I'm much stronger than when I was with the Golden Eagle Flag."

Iga Yahiko expressed his disbelief.

What a joke! The Golden Eagle Flag hasn't even been around for a month, so how could it get stronger that quickly?

Sousuke said there was no need to explain—as long as they won in the end, that was enough.

After saying goodbye to his judo club teammates at the opening ceremony, Sosuke left to go home.

Then, outside the stadium gate, Sosuke stopped, pulling the innocent-looking Yumi Mifune along.

"Huh? Teacher, why did you stop?" Yumi asked, looking puzzled.

Sosuke smiled slightly at her, then pointed ahead.

Yumi Mifune looked in the direction he was pointing and immediately blurted out, "Kenichi Shirakawa?"

As someone who follows all the major judo competitions every year, she was very impressed by this guy who swept the high school judo competition last year.

Indeed, Sosuke looked at a boy not far ahead and smiled, a smile tinged with a hint of amazement.

[Arakawa High School Judo Club: Kenichi Shirakawa]

Age: 18

[Possesses entry 1: Strongest Disciple]

[Possesses entry 2: Hyakuryū Kenichi]

[Possesses Protective Technique 1: Furin Temple - My Style 22]

[Possesses self-defense technique 2: Karate 16]

[Possesses self-defense technique 3: Misaki Koshiji-ryu Jujutsu 17]

[Possesses self-defense skill 4: Ancient Muay Thai 16]

【Special Moves: Air Control Circle, No Rhythm, My Combo 1-2-3】

[Current status: Excited! Let's go! Why doesn't the competition start until tomorrow?!]

Sousuke stroked his chin, looking at the other person's panel, and couldn't help but feel admiration.

Based on the minister's description, I initially thought that Shirakawa Kenji was just a judo genius.

The panel showed that this guy was actually a jack-of-all-trades, with as many as four self-defense techniques that he could handle on his own.

Even "Jiu-Jitsu" is not his most proficient technique.

Among them, "Fenglin Temple · My Flow" even exceeds the level of 20.

Without a doubt, this is a super genius who has reached the level of ferocity at a young age.

Just as Sosuke was staring at the other person.

Kenichi Shirakawa also looked up as if he had just realized something.

Then he spotted Atobe Sousuke in the crowd, his eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over.

"I'm telling you, you're Atobe Sousuke, aren't you?!" Shirakawa Kenichi exclaimed excitedly, "The one who single-handedly defeated fifty opponents and won the championship at this year's Golden Eagle Flag tournament!"

Sousuke looked at the boy in front of him, smiled and nodded: "Hello, Kenichi Shirakawa, last year's Rookie of the Year."

Kenichi Shirakawa immediately stood up awkwardly, then chuckled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head: "No, no, no, don't call me 'Rookie King,' I'm far from worthy!"

"No, you're very strong, probably even stronger than the world champion." Sousuke smiled slightly. "Your master must be an extraordinary expert, right?"

"They are all incredibly skilled masters!" At this, Kenichi Shirakawa's expression turned serious, and he immediately replied solemnly.

"Them?" Sousuke paused slightly. "You have many teachers?"

“That’s right, I have five… six masters!” Kenichi Shirakawa nodded excitedly. “But they just finished training me a few days ago and then went off to do their own things.”

"I see... I was thinking of going to see it for myself..." Sosuke stroked his chin.

Kenichi Shirakawa said with a grin, "It's alright, let's exchange contact information. When they come back, I'll ask you to come up the mountain to meet them."

So the two of them exchanged contact information.

After watching Sosuke save his phone number, Shirakawa Kenichi seemed to mentally prepare himself before suddenly pointing at Sosuke: "Atobe Sosuke, let's have a match! It's settled, we'll settle this in the finals in three days!"

"You could do it, but I'm afraid you won't make it to the finals," Sosuke said with a teasing smile.

Kenichi Shirakawa immediately shook his head, his eyes shining with determination: "If I lose to them, then naturally I am not qualified to fight you!"

Not far away.

Two tall boys dressed in the same sportswear were hidden in the crowd, looking at Atobe Sousuke and Shirakawa Kenichi who were chatting with a mocking smile.

"What a display of heroism..." One of the men, his eyes bloodshot from lack of rest, muttered in a sarcastic tone, "One was last year's Rookie of the Year in the National Tournament, and the other is this year's Golden Eagle Flag 50-win champion. With the talent bestowed upon them by God, they trample us ordinary people underfoot and use us as stepping stones..."

Another man patted him on the shoulder, a confident smile on his face: "They're just lucky ones, blessed by heaven. But their good fortune ends here..."

“Yes…” A slightly sickly smile appeared on the first boy’s face.

"This time, we have 'that,' beating these two guys should be a piece of cake!"

......

After attending the opening ceremony of the judo tournament, Atobe Sousuke returned to the villa with Mifune Yumi.

Then I saw Yae Meixuan come over.

She pulled Sosuke aside and whispered, "The Countermeasures Bureau called me again."

"Huh?" Sousuke tilted his head. "What's going on?"

It has been ten days since we last contacted and cooperated with the Countermeasures Bureau, and there have been no new actions regarding the Ring Serpent since then.

Therefore, it is reasonable that the Bureau of Abnormalities did not contact them again.

On the contrary, their sudden reappearance now gives Sosuke a sense of impending doom.

"Kyogoku Shin, who was recalled, brought back the latest news to the Countermeasures Bureau: the secret organization 'Black Crow,' which he has been tracking and monitoring, is currently carrying out some kind of covert operation."

Yae Meixuan said directly.

"Black Crow?" Sosuke repeated, indicating his doubt.

"This transnational criminal organization operates internationally, and of course they're active in Japan as well. However, they haven't committed any outrageous acts here, so they haven't attracted widespread official crackdowns," Yae Meixuan briefly explained the organization to Sousuke.

Sosuke thought for a moment and asked, "Judging from this, this Black Crow organization should be related to the Serpent of the World, right?"

Yae Meixuan nodded: "Although it's not a subordinate relationship, it's a fairly deep cooperative one. Compared to those international gangs, this organization seems more enthusiastic about scavenging top-notch biological talents and secretly developing various special drugs. The Ringworld Serpent is also happy to provide them with financial and material support and share their achievements."

She paused, then continued the previous topic: "According to Shin Kyogoku's tracking and observation, that organization is secretly spreading some kind of 'new drug.' Taking that drug seems to greatly enhance a person's physical functions, thereby reaching a level comparable to that of 'superhumans.'"

"Huh? There's such a thing?" Sosuke raised an eyebrow.

It's important to understand that once 'superhumans' embark on the path of martial arts to hone their bodies, their rapid growth creates a huge difference between them and ordinary people.

This difference cannot be bridged by things like so-called "doping".

Now, a mysterious organization has actually developed a drug that can make ordinary people comparable to 'superhumans'?

Goodness, they deserve a Nobel Prize!

"I don't quite understand the specifics either. According to the Countermeasures Bureau, the effects of this 'drug' don't seem to be universal. Users will gain terrifying enhancements, but will also fall into a state of mania and become completely weak afterward..." Yae Meixuan continued to relay the information she had received.

Then, she said helplessly, "Based on the above situation, the Countermeasures Bureau has once again invited both of us to assist them in their investigation."

She looked at Sosuke, who was deep in thought: "So, should we agree to their offer?"

The beautiful master quietly watched Sosuke, waiting for him to make a decision.
