I teach judo in Tokyo.

Sosuke stroked his chin.

Is it that kendo competition where, as long as one person is strong enough, they can choose to defeat five, ten, or even a hundred opponents?

That's interesting!

Chapter 77 You're tearing it down again?

After borrowing a wooden sword from the kendo club, Sosuke left the school.

Before leaving, he had completed his daily instruction of Wu Fang Su Zi.

In addition, there were the five Fukuzawa Yukichi cards that Motoko gave him before he left, combined with the critical hit of this SSR disciple's aptitude and attributes.

Today, he earned 660,000 yen from just one person, Motoko Gofuku.

This is much faster than robbing money!

As for the invitation from Tenkoji, the captain of the kendo club.

He thought about it and tentatively agreed.

After all, the opportunity to stand up to a hundred people openly and honestly only comes once a year.

However, he also expressed his concerns—he was already a member of the judo club, and if there was a conflict with the competition, he could only prioritize participating in the judo club's matches.

This is a matter of integrity.

Tenkoji readily agreed and said he would handle the communication with Iga Yahiko.

It is rare for someone to participate in two clubs, especially since both clubs are sports-related.

But if a person's value is great enough, even an ironclad law will show its benevolence.

After finishing all the tasks, Sosuke couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

These days are just too fulfilling.

However, there is still a potential problem to solve before going home.

......

After leaving the school, Sosuke went straight to the old house he remembered.

As dusk fell, a dim light shone from the dilapidated house, and occasionally a few rude curses could be heard.

Passersby would instinctively avoid the entrance and take a detour.

This is the stronghold of the wakatoshi (young leader) of the Yanjian Group, who was wiped out by Sousuke alone last time.

That assistant to the young leader is called Nishida something-two. Never mind, let's just call him Nishida.

Sosuke stood across the street and observed quietly for a while.

Then he took off his shirt, stretched his shoulders, pulled out the wooden knife wrapped in the cloth bag, and went straight into the house.

As soon as I entered, I was hit by a pungent smell of smoke.

The entire first floor was densely packed with noisy yakuza youths, each with fierce eyes and sinister expressions.

The number of people is much larger than when Sosuke launched his surprise attack last time.

Sosuke was tall and muscular, with a bare upper body and a wooden sword in his right hand. He stood at the doorway, exuding a fierce aura.

His appearance, clearly that of someone looking for trouble, immediately attracted the attention of the group.

Immediately, two men with menacing smiles strode over, shouting "Baka..."

The next second, the two were slashed on the shoulders by wooden swords, screaming and falling to their knees.

As the two screamed in agony, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, which only amplified the screams.

Sosuke calmly glanced around; there were probably more than thirty people.

The system panel showed that they were all ordinary thugs with street fighting skills of no more than level 3.

He has learned kendo, and the lethality of a weapon is several times that of an unarmed one. If all else fails, he can try his newly acquired SSR skill, "Liberation".

In other words, he was able to dominate amidst the scum of society.

So, with complete confidence, he asked loudly, "Who among you can answer this—is Nishida here?"

The person who answered him was a young yakuza member with green hair.

His response was simple—he cursed and charged at me with a baseball bat, ready to attack.

Sosuke, though arriving late, struck first, delivering a heavy blow to the hand holding the baseball bat.

The poor green-haired yakuza knelt on the ground, clutching his deformed, drooping severed hand and screaming in agony, before being kicked two meters away by Sousuke with a thuggish kick.

Sosuke shrugged, then took a step back, blocking the doorway.

He said noncommittally, "Forget it, there's no point in reasoning with you yakuza. Let's fight first!"

"All of you, come at me together!"

......

Half an hour later, Nishida Shoji, who had rushed back after receiving a phone call, entered the house.

Upon entering, I saw Atobe Sousuke sitting calmly on the stairs.

He was humming a song with a peculiar melody as he sat there wiping the blood off his wooden knife with a towel.

“Eee~ er ya, ee er~ ya, ee er~ ee er~ ee~ er ya hee——”

As he sang, the twenty-odd yakuza youths lying on the ground, too afraid to move and only able to groan in unison, seemed to be providing him with background music.

Nishida Shoji's pupils shrank.

He rubbed his face, forced a smile, and carefully entered the room.

"Atobe-san, you seem to be in a good mood today. But what do you mean by this? Have these guys offended you again?"

Amidst the shocked gazes of all his subordinates, their formidable leader, known as "Torikaze no Tora" (Tiger of Strict View), Nishida Shoji, was now like a mouse encountering a cat, smiling obsequiously as he spoke to the incredibly strong male student.

Sousuke leisurely wiped his wooden sword, then looked up at the other man: "Uncle Nishida, what happened to your promise to me last time?"

Shoji Nishida wiped the sweat from his brow and asked cautiously, "Atobe-san, I don't quite understand. Could you explain it more clearly?"

Then his expression turned serious: "Although I am a member of the yakuza, whom you respectable people despise, I have reached this position largely because of loyalty and integrity. I will never go back on my promises. There must be some misunderstanding here!"

Sousuke stopped wiping his wooden sword, looked up at Shoji Nishida with a smile, and said, "On my way to school today, I saw some 'little mice' staring at me. After thinking it over, I don't think I've made any enemies with any other yakuza organizations besides the Yanjian Group..."

He stood up, slowly walked up to Shoji Nishida with the wooden sword in one hand, and looked at him meaningfully: "Besides Uncle Nishida, who else would want to mess with an ordinary high school student like me?"

Damn it, you're just an ordinary person?

You demolished my base twice, an achievement that rivals those legendary demolition projects, and you call yourself an "ordinary high school student"?!

Have you no shame?!

Shoji Nishida took a small step back and raised his hands slightly in surrender: "Atobe-san, I know who did it."

"Who?" Sosuke asked with a grin.

“The Yanjian Group.” Nishida Shoji paused, then saw Sousuke’s eyes narrow slightly, a huge sense of crisis filling his heart.

He quickly added, "It was another assistant leader from Yan Jian's group who did it, not me!"

He gave a wry smile: "To be honest, after you defeated me last time, word got out, and my status within the group plummeted. I've long since lost my voice. Besides, I've been warned..."

He seemed to realize something, paused, and changed his words: "The one who's eyeing you is most likely Uesugi Hiro. He's been a rising star in the group lately."

“Uesugi…” Sousuke stroked his chin, signaling the other to continue.

“Atobe-san…” Nishida Shoji hesitated for a moment before glancing at Atobe Sousuke. “Last time, you single-handedly raided my base, which not only damaged my reputation but also severely undermined the deterrent power of the Yanjian Group. Uesugi is currently in a period of rapid development and wants to win over the Wakagashira. It’s only natural that he’s targeting you and wants to restore the reputation of the Yanjian Group.”

Sosuke paused for a moment, scratched his head, and said, "So I have to go and demolish Uesugi's old lair too, right?"

Nishida Shoji:......

Seriously, are all young people these days so reckless? They'd destroy someone's home at the drop of a hat?

Is it that times are changing too fast, or am I really getting old and unable to keep up with the development?

Perhaps it's time to retire from this life...

Chapter 78 Kuno-nee, let me give you a massage

In the end, Atobe Sousuke did not go and eliminate Uesugi's forces overnight.

Shoji Nishida said he was willing to talk to Hiro Uesugi in place of Sousuke, and guaranteed with his life that he would never allow Uesugi to harm Sousuke or anyone around him until the outcome of his negotiations.

Today is Monday, and Sousuke gave Nishida Shoji three days to give him a result by Friday.

He has a competition to attend this weekend and won't be able to provide timely protection for those around him, so he needs to resolve this matter before the weekend.

Whether to let it go or to use force to defeat yet another junior leader of the Yanjian Group is entirely up to them.

Sosuke looked at the "Liberation" skill in his skill panel and felt no panic whatsoever.

And so he said goodbye to Nishida, then indulged himself and took a taxi back to the dojo.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Kuno Maruko dressed in a judo uniform, practicing her throwing techniques with the help of straps and cherry blossom trees.

She is really hardworking.

Although her talent is not as good as Yotsuba Saki and Itamoto Motoko, nor does she have the years of experience that Mifune Yumi has.

However, the widow had a very clear goal compared to the other girls.

She needs to improve her skills as soon as possible, reach the black belt level, and then become the dojo's instructor!

She wants to settle down in Tokyo so that Aoi can maintain her current carefree life.

Sosuke couldn't resist clicking on the "widow" tag, wanting to see her progress in her training.

[Disciple: Kuno Jinruko]

[Existing self-defense techniques: Judo - Throwing techniques 1, Parrying techniques 0, Ground techniques 1]

Today's teaching task: Review of basic techniques.

[Reward for completing the mission: 7000 yen]

[Current status: I want to do one more set, but my shoulders and lower back are a bit sore...]

[Note: The first payment of 10000 yen for tuition has expired. Please urge your student to pay the tuition as soon as possible.]

Sosuke remembered that when he watched it before, the widow's judo was still in a beginner's stage.

Now, numbers are already being displayed.

Before anyone knew it, Kuno-nee had already mastered the basics of judo!

Today, Kuno Maruko did significantly fewer extra training sessions compared to yesterday.

After she stopped, she couldn't help but rotate her shoulder joints while rubbing her shoulders, her brows furrowed slightly.

Then, she turned around and immediately saw Sosuke staring at her, and was clearly startled.

"Sosuke-kun, why aren't you saying anything again..." she stammered as she greeted him.

Sosuke looked displeased, stepped forward, took the widow's hand, and said earnestly, "Kuno-nee, I'm very unhappy with what you're doing."

"Huh?" Kuno Maruko's face panicked, not knowing what she had done wrong. She looked up at Sosuke pitifully, "Sosuke-kun, did I do something wrong? I'll definitely change!"

"You definitely made a mistake, a huge mistake!" Sosuke said unhappily. "You're still a beginner, especially since your physical fitness isn't fully up to par yet. Overtraining will harm your body. You can't do that again, understand?"

Kuno Maruko nodded hurriedly, afraid that Sousuke would continue to be angry, and quickly said, "I, I understand, Sousuke-kun, please don't be angry, I was wrong!"

Seeing the widow's cautious and pitiful appearance, Sosuke's heart softened immediately.

He gently stroked the widow's face: "Haste makes waste. Let's cancel tonight's practice as well..."

For the sake of Kuno-nee's health, he was willing to give up today's teaching assignment, even if it meant not earning those tens of thousands of yen.

Kuno Maruko nodded repeatedly, then obediently let Sosuke pull her back to the dojo.

......

It was evening.

Sosuke, wearing the weighted clothes and straps he had bought last time, was training in the dojo's courtyard as usual.
