I teach judo in Tokyo.

He put away his phone and looked at the arena.

It can only be said that the organizers of the national competition are incredibly thick-skinned; they managed to calm things down and prepare to start the next match right after the serious incident.

The next match is another semi-final, which is also a match with virtually no suspense.

Arakawa High School, where Kenichi Shirakawa attends, faces off against Fudomine High School, where Shohei Tachibana, Sousuke Atobe's old rival, attends.

Fudomine is very strong, with two genius players, Tachibana Shohei and Itaru Shinji.

However, Arakawa High School is even stronger, with the monster Kenichi Shirakawa, who is completely untouchable by ordinary people. In addition to Kenichi Shirakawa, his teammates are also quite strong.

Fudomine was unable to shut out Arakawa High School with just the first three spots.

Then Kenichi Shirakawa took the stage.

This seemingly upright and even somewhat dazed young man displayed dominant strength as soon as he stepped onto the stage.

Tachibana Shohei, known as the "Lion," is already among the top high school students, even slightly stronger than Tsurumine's Iga Yahiko due to his weight advantage.

However, when facing Kenichi Shirakawa, he showed a clear decline in performance.

Tachibana Shohei had absolutely no idea where Shirakawa Kenichi was.

His attacks were all seen through by the sharp-eyed Shirakawa Kenichi; each of his attacks was either precisely dodged or intercepted in advance.

Then he was easily thrown to the ground by Kenichi Shirakawa.

The match ended quickly.

Sosuke watched as Tachibana Shohei calmly walked off the stage and then stood in front of him, his expression gradually turning bitter.

"Although I wanted to appear carefree, I'm still a little disappointed!" He scratched his head awkwardly.

Sosuke didn't think the other party needed comforting. He just laughed and said, "Come on, it's already amazing that you guys made it to the semi-finals under the suppression of monsters like us."

Then he joked, "At least you're the king of the 90kg class, and you can even win a championship in the individual competition."

"What? Who compares themselves to a monster? You're being a bit too narcissistic," Tachibana Shohei retorted, but Sousuke's interruption did ease his frustration somewhat.

He stared at Sosuke for a moment and said softly, "However, you guys are indeed monsters. Now my only hope is that you, this monster, can defeat that monster, Kenichi Shirakawa, so that I can at least see a Tokyo high school win the national judo championship one more time before I graduate."

“You’ve already seen it; the Golden Eagle Flag is just as prestigious as the National Championship.” Sosuke raised an eyebrow at him.

“Haha, that’s true!” Tachibana Shohei shook his head. “However, the national championship must be the obsession of every high school sports club.”

As he spoke, he waved to Sosuke: "Anyway, win the final match beautifully! We're all watching you from the stands!"

Sousuke smiled and said, "Don't worry..."

He glanced up at Shirakawa Kenichi, who was also walking off the field, and whispered to Tachibana Shohei, "Although this kid is strong, he's still quite a bit behind me."

"Then I wish you good luck in your military endeavors!" Looking at the confident Atobe Sousuke, Tachibana Shohei somehow felt confident as well.

After exchanging a few words, Tachibana Shohei saw that Shirakawa Kenichi was also approaching. As the loser, he really didn't want to run into him at this time, so he hurriedly left.

Kenichi Shirakawa walked over excitedly and said directly to Sousuke Atobe, "Atobe, it's almost time for our duel! I'm so excited!"

Seeing the expectant look on his face, Sosuke believed that he was genuinely excited.

So he smiled and asked in return, "Even if the outcome is a guaranteed loss, are you still looking forward to it?"

Uh......

Kenichi Shirakawa's expression froze, and he began to ponder seriously.

Although he was very weak two years ago, so weak that anyone could bully him, so weak that he felt his failure was justified.

But ever since he started learning martial arts, it seems that apart from losing to a few masters, he has never lost to anyone his age...

After tasting victory, who would want to lose?

So he looked up at Sosuke seriously and asked, "How do you know I'm bound to lose if we don't fight?"

Sosuke smiled slightly: "You'll find out soon enough."

......

One hour later.

After a good rest, the two finalists from the universities returned to the competition arena.

Sousuke, dressed in a judo uniform with a white belt, calmly smiled as he looked at Kenichi Shirakawa, who was already in position opposite him.

Kenichi Shirakawa was also wearing a white belt judo uniform—he had only started learning martial arts in his first year of high school, and had only practiced jujutsu for a maximum of two years, not yet meeting the time requirement for black belt assessment.

The scene was somewhat comical for a moment.

In the most important final of the national high school judo tournament, a well-known event in Japan, both of the top judo players were white belts.

Of course, Atobe Sousuke could also choose to wear a black belt. Given his reputation as a judo prince, no one would question him wearing a black belt.

However, he didn't care much about such things, so he simply went on stage with a white bandage tied around his neck.

The score in the previous battle between the two universities was two to one.

As always, the rest of the Tsurumine High School team performed poorly, with only the club president, Yahiko Iga, winning a game.

In fact, if Kenichi Shirakawa were a die-hard player, he could have easily eliminated Sousuke's chance to even appear in the game by simply moving himself to the mid-lane position and defeating Yahiko Iga.

Although this guy is a bit slow-witted, he is indeed an upright and honest person.

He firmly held onto his position as general and very straightforwardly chose to enter the game early, starting in position four alongside Sousuke.

In this way, the outcome will be decided in a single game.

After the referee announced the start of the match.

Kenichi Shirakawa was filled with excitement, his eyes fixed intently on Sousuke, and a powerful aura of confidence emanated from him.

This is the invincible aura he cultivated by winning against his peers all the way after he started practicing martial arts.

Of course, he only wins against enemies. If it were his teammates, let alone those few master craftsmen who could easily beat him up, even his beloved would be no match for him in a serious fight...

With confidence, he adopted the basic stance of the Misaki-koshi-ryu Jujutsu and said loudly, "Come on, Atobe-kun, I've been waiting for this moment for days!"

Sousuke smiled slightly: "Kenichi, I was already prepared. Didn't you notice?"

Hmm? Shirakawa Kenichi looked closely at Sousuke's figure, his pupils involuntarily dilating slightly.

What a perfect figure!

"A perfect natural form!" exclaimed a middle-aged man with a mustache and an air of philosophical wisdom from a corner of the audience.

He turned to a girl with a voluptuous figure beside him and smiled, "Wow, you'd better be ready now, Kenichi is probably going to lose."

The girl he called Miao looked at the middle-aged man in confusion: "Uncle Misaki Koshiji, why are you so sure? Kenichi has never lost to anyone his age since he started training at our dojo."

Misaki Koshiji shook his head: "Although we all say that Kenichi's talent is average and always discourage him, in reality everyone knows that he is a genius that is one in a million."

Before the girl could agree, he sighed and said directly, "But, his opponent today..."

"I'm probably much stronger than you, Miao..."

"Even more than me..." The girl's eyes widened, then she instinctively shook her head repeatedly, "How could that be..."

“Nothing is impossible.” Misaki Koshiji glanced at her. “Although you have traveled all over the country with your grandfather since you were a child and are very capable under his personal guidance, you are not the only one in this world with this kind of talent and opportunity.”

Seeing that the girl still looked unconvinced, he sighed and shook his head: "Forget it, let's watch the game. You'll see when you do."

......

Off the field, Kenichi Shirakawa looked at Sousuke Atobe, who was standing naturally opposite him, and couldn't find an opportunity to attack.

The person opposite me, even just standing there, is already flawless!

"Aren't you going to attack?" Atobe Sousuke asked slowly.

!!!

The heart-wrenching words reached Shirakawa Kenichi's ears, jolting him back to his senses.

Only then did he realize that Sosuke had already walked up to him.

He immediately jumped back to get away from Sosuke, his forehead instantly covered in sweat.

"So strong...!" Only now did he realize what it felt like to be an enemy of the serious Sousuke.

They're as strong as their masters!

"If we don't act soon, the referee will call a violation on us," Sosuke said, taking another step forward with a helpless expression.

As he spoke, he reached out his hand toward Kenichi Shirakawa.

This kid, why is he so easily startled? He'd better get serious quickly, otherwise it'll be too boring to fight.

Just as he was thinking this, his outstretched hand was suddenly grabbed by Kenichi Shirakawa.

Kenichi Shirakawa's expression had returned to calm. Holding Sousuke's hand, he quickly said, "You're strong. I'll give it my all too."

The next second, he bent his wrist, spun around rapidly, and locked Sosuke's joints while quickly turning around and throwing him away with great force!

They managed to throw Sousuke out in one go.

Misaki Koshiji-ryu Jujutsu!

Rather than judo, it's more accurate to say that he learned jujutsu from his master, Misaki Koshiji. It was a new martial art created by his master after collecting jujutsu techniques from all over the world and combining them with his own insights.

In addition to throwing techniques, it also incorporates a large number of joint locks from Aikido, as well as grappling and seizure techniques from other jujitsu.

In truth, it is quite similar to the Wu'an Liuhe Qi Dao.

Sosuke's wrist was locked in mid-air by Kenichi Shirakawa, making it difficult for him to turn his body and use the Cat Willow. He was about to hit the ground.

The next second, he quickly pushed down with his other hand, pressing it firmly onto the tatami mat to stabilize his body and stand up from his handstand.

The wrist that had been restrained was released from its lock.

Sousuke smiled calmly and lowered his voice: "Kenichi, although the referee didn't see it just now, the wrist lock throw was illegal."

That's right. For safety reasons, judo matches do not allow joint reversal techniques on any joint other than the elbow.

"Huh? Ah!" Kenichi Shirakawa awkwardly scratched his head. He immediately stood at attention, bowed deeply to Sousuke, and apologized, "I'm so sorry! Your imposing aura was too strong, I completely forgot!!!"

The referee and the audience were dumbfounded by Kenichi Shirakawa's inexplicable behavior, finding the kid rather comical.

"It's alright. Now that you've perked up, I should get serious too." Sosuke waved his hand at the bowing boy opposite him.

His voice gradually turned wild: "Come on! Let's have a good competition!"

boom!

As Atobe Sousuke unleashed his full power, Shirakawa Kensuke's tall figure seemed to swell and grow larger, his face gradually blurring and becoming increasingly inhuman.

On the contrary, he is more like an immovable mountain, a martial god whose power dominates the world.

Shocked, Shirakawa Kenichi immediately raised his hands and assumed a defensive stance.

He calmed his mind and harmonized his energy with nature. At the same time, within a spherical area centered on him and with his attack range as the radius, he could keenly perceive and react to even the slightest movement.

The old abbot of Fenglin Temple, who taught him this technique, called it "Air Control Circle".

In theory, as long as he is strong enough, he can intercept or dodge all attacks while maintaining this move.

The premise is that he is strong enough.

Sosuke shot out with incredible speed, his outstretched hands moving at lightning speed.

Kenichi Shirakawa's eyes widened, and he immediately reached out to block the shot.

late!

Sousuke's hand, like a butterfly flitting among flowers, instantly changed direction, skimming past Kenichi Shirakawa's hands as he blocked, and grabbed his collar in a shocking manner.

The next moment, Sousuke hooked his leg out and, together with his hands that were grabbing Kenichi Shirakawa's clothes, slammed him heavily onto the tatami mat!

"Boom!"

"One shot! The outcome is decided!"

The dull thud of Kenichi Shirakawa landing and the referee's loud announcement of the match result echoed throughout the stadium.

This left all the viewers who were expecting a fierce battle completely bewildered.

Sousuke stepped back a few paces, quietly looking at Kenichi Shirakawa lying blankly on the ground, and said with a faint smile, "Kenichi, you are indeed very talented. Keep up the good work, and I'll be waiting for you to challenge me in the future."

Meanwhile, the audience, realizing what was happening, began to stir.

Gradually, the whispers turned into a commotion throughout the room.
