I teach judo in Tokyo.

(▼ヘ▼#)

Another inexplicable ruthless aura emanated from this swordswoman.

Sosuke subconsciously looked up at the top of her head.

The entry titled "Evil Must Be Slain" is currently bursting with dazzling special effects.

What is this? An anti-bad guys special operation?

Sosuke almost couldn't help but complain.

Wow, both of these attributes boost her swordsmanship level... dual combat attributes, that's terrifying.

"What are you doing!" Two teachers followed closely behind, with the stronger and more rugged physical education teacher, Gengmu, shouting angrily from afar.

Onishima paused slightly, then gave Sosuke and Iga Yahiko a dangerous smile.

He said in a sinister tone, "Those two clueless guys will have to work hard to advance next week..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and Kirisaki's team members immediately took two steps back, abandoning their tense stance.

Before turning to leave, the oni-shima man said with a grin, "I look forward to having a good spar with you all, and then—"

His smile suddenly turned as venomous as a snake's: "And while I'm at it, I'll ruin your judo careers!"

After saying that, he left with his team without waiting for Mr. Zaraki to come closer.

Chapter 64 The Return Journey

"Who is this person?! Hehehehe!"

Yumi Mifune, holding Sosuke's hand, stuck out her tongue and made a face at the backs of Onishima and the others.

Seeing her childish behavior, Atobe Sousuke couldn't help but flick her forehead: "Don't mess with these delinquents, they'll drive you crazy if they keep an eye on you."

Yumi Mifune remained fearless: "They dare to come? I'll take them all down with a single Mountain Storm!"

?(???)?

"Yamashira?" Iga Yahiko's ears twitched, and he looked over, wondering if he had misheard.

Yumi Mifune covered her mouth, her eyes darting around as she chuckled, "It's like driving piles! I'll hammer them all into the ground like piles!!"

“Oh…” Iga Yahiko scratched his head. “I thought you knew the legendary illusion technique ‘Mountain Storm’. You scared me.”

Sōsuke looked speechlessly at the guilty class monitor and flicked her forehead again.

"Oh!" Mifune Yumi clutched her forehead, tears welling up in her eyes. "Teacher, please stop flicking my head. You'll make me stupid if you keep doing it."

"Let's go, let's go back." Sosuke shook his head, showing his disdain for the silly girl, and turned to walk towards the bus first.

"Shifan, don't rush, wait for me!" Mifune Yumi immediately caught up.

Motoko turned and stared at Sousuke's back for a few seconds, pursed her lips, and then followed him.

***

As the bus started moving, it slowly began to drive off.

Everyone gradually became more active.

They whispered and chattered incessantly.

Unlike when they came, this time the Kendo and Judo clubs can be considered to have returned in triumph.

Whether it was the men's kendo team, the judo team, or the main players who signed up for the individual competition, all of them successfully broke through the encirclement and advanced.

Although the women's kendo team suffered a crushing defeat, Motoko Gomoku swiftly defeated everyone in her path, which was a victory in itself.

"Hehehehe..." As soon as he got on the bus, the class monitor, who had been relegated to an inner seat by Sosuke, started giggling like an idiot.

She amused herself for a while, then couldn't help but turn to look at Sosuke: "Master, why don't you ask me what I'm so happy about!"

Sosuke rested his chin on his hand, his eyes darting aimlessly, when he heard Yumi Mifune's question, he glanced at her indifferently.

With a helpless expression, he said, "Judging from your expression, I can easily guess what you're happy about."

Mifune Yumi shook her head vigorously, saying, "I don't believe you can guess it, Teacher's College, you guess it now!"

Sosuke initially didn't want to pay attention to her, but the class monitor was persistent, grabbing Sosuke's left arm with both hands and shaking it. Sosuke figured that if he didn't agree, this girl would push him off his seat and fall into the aisle.

Annoyed to no end, Sousuke coughed lightly, his expression becoming exaggerated.

He exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, "Wow! Is the person sitting next to me the legendary Mifune Yumi, one of the top eight in the 40kg category at the Tokyo regional qualifiers for the National Tournament!?"

Yumi Mifune immediately grinned and put her hands on her hips, tilting her nose up: "That's me!"

<(???)>

She chuckled and leaned closer: "Teacher, and most importantly, the judo team also made it through the team competition. Aren't you happy?"

"I'm happy, I'm happy." Sosuke replied perfunctorily, then glanced at the class monitor and suddenly chuckled, "But more than these small achievements, I want Yumi-chan to give me a few massages. As expected of someone who practices judo, her hands are quite strong, it feels so good!"

This isn't Sousuke joking. Even from a serious perspective, Yumi Mifune's finger strength and hand strength, honed from years of judo practice, are quite formidable. When she massages him, the force reaches deep into his muscles, making it particularly effective.

From a less serious perspective, the image of a graceful judo girl straddling you and giving you a massage, even without doing anything else, is enough to make one's heart flutter.

"Why did you suddenly bring this up!" Yumi Mifune glared at him, her face flushed red.

One sentence made the class monitor so embarrassed that he shrank back to the window.

But after a short while, she happily took out her phone and started sharing her joy with others.

Finally, I have some free time.

Sosuke also took out his phone, first opening the chat app, and immediately saw that the profile pictures of Kuno-nee and his deskmate, which he had pinned to the top of his chat list, were flashing together.

Kuno Maruko: Sosuke-kun, to celebrate our victory, I made some delicious dishes today, all of which are your favorites.

Yotsuba Saki: Sosuke-kun, I knew you were the strongest. I want to go to the finals of the preliminaries next week to cheer you on.

This was the two men's reply to him when he informed them of the battle results.

He sent both of them a smug emoji, then opened a webpage and began searching for keywords related to the national tournament, initiating a high-intensity online surfing spree.

Although it's pointless to show off in front of the class monitor, Sousuke is still quite concerned about his current online reputation.

With the national championships just around the corner, Japan’s prefectures are holding preliminary rounds for various sports.

The online buzz has also gradually become apparent.

The popularity of those sports goes without saying. Sports like football and basketball are mainstream ball games every year and the absolute core of national competitions. Every year, many strong college teams and star players emerge.

Even sports with a narrower audience, such as Kendo and Judo, have seen a surge of highly popular discussion posts on forums of all sizes, much like a festive occasion.

Sosuke has now stumbled upon an interesting post.

A Roundup of Prodigy Judo Athletes from Top Universities

Upon clicking in, I discovered that a highly influential poster on the forum had compiled a list of talented players from dozens of prefectures who had already distinguished themselves during the preliminary rounds and demonstrated significantly superior skills compared to other players.

He already knew about the ace captains of the three major high schools in Tokyo.

There are also other aces from other regional championship favorites high schools.

Sosuke saw his own name among them, listed alongside Yahiko Iga.

They were given a shared title by the poster – Tsurumine no Twin Stars.

The original poster described Sousuke as follows:

[Sousuke Atobe, a top player who suddenly appeared out of nowhere at Tsurumine High School, even dethroned the popular player who was among the top eight in last year's national tournament and was Tsurumine's former ace captain, becoming Tsurumine's new captain.]

[According to the poster's prediction, since the general has two opportunities to go into battle, under normal circumstances, the person who takes on the role of general must be the strongest member of the team.]

[Atobe Sousuke, who was able to persuade Iga Yahiko to step aside and willingly take on a key role, is at least no weaker than Iga Yahiko.]

[Currently, Sousuke Atobe boasts a perfect record in both team and individual competitions, scoring an ippon in under a minute in every match. Although his techniques are unremarkable, his overwhelming dominance is undeniable.]

[With these two leading the way, the poster predicts that Tsuramine High School will reverse its past trend of failing to qualify for the national competition for several consecutive years! They may even become strong contenders for the national team championship!]

Under this post, there were over a hundred replies, including some from people who had seen Sosuke play in person, who strongly supported the poster's deduction.

Some people think the poster is just bragging and speculating, believing that it's impossible for Kagamine, a team that has been a pushover in previous years, to break through the blockade of Tokyo's three major judo powerhouses.

Sosuke, meanwhile, was frantically consuming gossip about himself through that small phone screen.

That's right, there's no fun in showing off to someone you know, like the class monitor.

It's so enjoyable to watch people online split into two groups and argue so fiercely they're practically fighting each other to the point of brain damage!

Chapter 65 First Encounter with Motoko

When the bus came to a stop at the entrance of Hefeng High School.

It was already 8 p.m.

"Students! You've worked hard these past two days. Once you get off the bus, head home quickly and be careful," the PE teacher, Genki, said loudly, standing up with his hands on his hips.

He and Hojo, the two teachers, both wore smiles. As the teachers in charge of the kendo and judo clubs, the team's good results were a source of great pride for them.

Most people woke up from their sleep.

The two days of competition had taken a toll on their energy, and they couldn't help but fall asleep in the car.

Sosuke looked at Mifune Yumi, who was fast asleep and about to snuggle into his arms, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek.

"Yumi, get up quickly, we've arrived."

Yumi Mifune sat up abruptly, rubbing her eyes, still somewhat confused about what was going on.

Then Sosuke saw her eyes slowly focus, finally becoming a little more awake, and then she looked at him: "Shihan, where are we?"

"You've arrived at school. Your family should have come to pick you up, right?" Sosuke stretched his shoulders, having barely moved to make the class monitor more comfortable.

Yumi Mifune noticed that the color on Sousuke's chest was a bit dark and couldn't help but laugh gleefully.

"Shi Fan, why is your chest wet? Did you spill water while drinking?"

Sosuke glared at her, annoyed. "That's your drool! Such a beautiful girl, how can you sleep like that?"

"Ah...hehe..." Mifune Yumi scratched the back of her head awkwardly.

Soon, everyone got out of the car one after another, and then either left on their own or were picked up by their families.

"Shifan, my family is here to pick me up, I'm leaving now!" Mifune Yumi waved to Sosuke, carrying her large backpack.

Sosuke waved to her and then said with a wicked grin, "I haven't done today's massage yet, remember to make it up tomorrow."

The squad leader stumbled as she fled, and in the next second, she quickly ran away and jumped into her family's car.

This little guy is so fun to tease.

Sosuke turned around with a smile, then was startled by the person standing behind him.

Wufang Mozi: Stare! (￣へ￣)

What are you doing!?

Atobe Sousuke took a step back.

Under the moonlight, Wufang Suzi, dressed in sportswear, quietly looked at him, her face calm and her eyes cold as water.

This kendo girl is over 1.7 meters tall, a height comparable to a model, which often leads to rejection from female groups.

In Japan, where girls are often considered to have a youthful appearance, being tall is not something to be proud of.

Sosuke thought of his past life, when Yui Aragaki, whom countless otaku considered their wife, was also dubbed the "Okinawa Giantess" because of her height of 1.7 meters.

Of course, the captain of the women's kendo club, Motoko Itako, who is adorned with the halo of the national individual championship, will not be bothered by this kind of bullying.

On the contrary, her tall and graceful figure and beautiful and dignified face, combined with her swordsmanship that was unmatched among her peers, made her exceptionally talented.

This makes her not only charming in the eyes of boys, but also quite popular among girls.

Motoko looked at Sosuke quietly for a few seconds, then put down the bamboo sword pouch on her back, unzipped it, and took out two bamboo swords.

The next second, she gently tossed one of the bamboo swords toward Sosuke.

Sosuke naturally raised his hand, precisely grasped the hilt of the sword, and steadily held the rapidly flying bamboo sword in his hand.

He roughly understood what Wu Fang Su Zi meant, and a calm smile appeared on his face: "What? You can't wait that long already?"

Motoko Gofuku was silent for a moment, then looked directly into Sousuke's eyes: "I apologize for my preconceived notions."
