I teach judo in Tokyo.

Wu Fang Suzi, of course, would not have any objections.

So, amidst the envious and frustrated gazes of many boys, Sosuke led three strikingly different beautiful girls to the rooftop of the school building.

"This is fine, I usually stay here."

After arriving at the rooftop, Sosuke, familiar with the area, led the three to a shady corner and said with a smile.

As she spoke, she winked at Yotsuba Saki.

Yotsuba Saki blushed as she looked at Sousuke's teasing expression, which seemed to have a deeper meaning.

She used to hide here and give Sosuke a lap pillow and clean his ears. And after each service, Sosuke would give her a sweet kiss under the guise of a "reward".

That electric shock-like shiver always made her weak all over, unable to stand up straight.

Even Emi felt very comfortable.

"You're talking nonsense! I don't feel comfortable at all!"

Emi stood beside her, wearing a school uniform in a color opposite to Yotsuba Saki's, her face flushed.

Yotsuba Saki was already used to this girl's hypocrisy and didn't argue with her.

Now that their secret hideout has been exposed, even though her two "fellow disciples" were unaware of her and Sousuke's secret, she was still too ashamed to look up.

Then, the three of them watched together as Motoko began her performance.

The kendo girl first squatted down with a serious expression, then placed the large package in her hands on the ground in front of her with a sense of ritual, and then untied it.

Wow!

Accompanied by Yumi Mifune's expectant soft exclamation, a large, multi-layered wooden box appeared before them.

Instead of immediately unfolding the wooden box, Motoko carefully spread out the cloth covering it little by little, and the wrapping smoothly formed a tablecloth, just like a picnic.

Then, under the expectant gazes of the three, she finally pressed the button on top of the wooden box, and instantly, the wooden box unfolded like a blooming flower.

Rice balls, sushi, tempura, grilled fish, meatballs, pumpkin balls...

More than a dozen dishes of different styles and generous portions appeared before Sosuke and his companions.

"Please forgive the lack of preparation due to time constraints."

Motoko Itsuka knelt on the ground and took out two pairs of chopsticks, handing them to Saki Yotsuba and Yumi Mifune.

Her posture was upright and her figure graceful. The aura she exuded at that moment made Sosuke clearly understand what the so-called "Yamato Nadeshiko" type of woman, whom Japan had always admired, was like.

It's unexpected that a swordsman who is so fierce and sharp in the kendo arena could also display such temperament.

He sat down cross-legged with a smile, then noticed something was wrong.

"Wu Fang, where are my chopsticks?" He looked completely bewildered.

With a calm expression, Motoko picked up a piece of tempura and held it to his lips: "Have you forgotten, Atobe-sensei? You asked me to feed you yesterday. Come on, open your mouth—"

I almost forgot!

Good guy!

You've done a great job, system!

Sosuke grinned and opened his mouth wide, swallowing the tempura in one gulp.

A kendo girl feeds a child.

Judo girl massage.

My shy deskmate would use my lap as a pillow to clean my ears and then offer me a sweet kiss.

This is what a man should do!

Chapter 82 Golden Vulture and Jade Dragon

Time flies, and Friday is here in the blink of an eye.

In the morning, after club activities ended, Iga Yahiko pulled Atobe Sousuke aside.

"Sousuke, what's going on? Tenkoji came to the school to pressure me, saying he wants to recruit you into the kendo club too." He looked quite annoyed, and it seemed he hadn't succeeded in refusing.

Sousuke shrugged: "Minister, for some reason, Tenkoji learned that my kendo skills are quite good, so he wants me to lend him a hand."

Iga Yahiko frowned and looked at Sousuke: "Wait, if I heard correctly, you mean your swordsmanship is really strong?"

Sousuke smiled: "How should I put it, my kendo skills are no worse than my judo skills."

“How is that possible…” Iga Yahiko looked Atobe Sousuke up and down. He knew how good Sousuke’s judo skills were, but this guy said that his kendo skills were no less than his judo skills.

How exactly did they train like that? Did they start training from the womb?

However, being a mild-mannered person, he didn't get angry after seeing that the matter was already settled. Instead, he said sullenly, "This national qualifier is alright, since they couldn't replace you with a new lineup at the last minute. But in future major competitions, there might inevitably be scheduling conflicts. What will we do then...?"

Sousuke responded to the question seriously: "Captain, don't worry. If there is a time conflict with the competition, I will prioritize the judo club's competition."

Iga Yahiko nodded helplessly: "That's good."

Then he thought of something and said, "After the national tournament preliminaries, there will still be some time before the official national tournament. During this period, there is also a grand competition that the high school judo community attaches great importance to every year that we need to participate in."

"Oh? What kind of competition is it?" Sosuke became interested.

Iga Yahiko said, "The Golden Eagle Banner."

"The Golden Eagle Banner?" Atobe Sousuke was taken aback; he'd never heard of it.

"Don't you know about the Golden Eagle Flag?" Iga Yahiko glanced at him, seemingly quite surprised that the person in front of him, a judo master, didn't know about the competition he was talking about.

He thought for a moment and said, "Sousuke, do you know about the Jade Dragon Flag?"

“I know that.” Atobe Sousuke stroked his chin and nodded. “It’s a kendo competition. I heard that the competition format is different from regular events. As long as someone is strong enough, they can stay on the stage and fight.”

“That’s right.” Iga Yahiko sighed. “I didn’t expect that you, a judo master, would know about the Jade Dragon Banner but not the Golden Eagle Banner.”

He continued, "The Golden Eagle Flag and the Jade Dragon Flag are both organized by the same party and are held in Fukuoka Prefecture around the same time. The competition format is the same as the Jade Dragon Flag in kendo: as long as one person is strong enough, they can keep fighting."

I never knew judo had this kind of thing. Does that mean judo can be used to unleash Musou attacks?

Wait, the minister just said that the Golden Eagle Flag and the Jade Dragon Flag were held at the same time, which means...

Atobe Sousuke looked at Iga Yahiko: "Minister, I have already promised Tenkoji that I would go with them to participate in the Jade Dragon Flag. I didn't know about the Golden Vulture Flag before this, so what should we do?"

Iga Yahiko sighed: "Fortunately, although they are held at the same time, the Golden Eagle Banner and the Jade Dragon Banner are held one after the other. Generally, the Golden Eagle Banner is held first, followed by the Jade Dragon Banner. If we really have to participate in both, it won't be a problem."

He straightened his expression: "Situations like the Golden Eagle Flag and the Jade Dragon Flag are fine, but if there are any conflicts between the time of judo and kendo competitions in the future, I will absolutely not give in, and I hope you can understand."

“That’s only natural.” Sosuke nodded with a smile.

Yahiko Iga smiled and said, "You packed your luggage in advance, right? We'll be leaving by bus after school today. The crucial competition starts tomorrow."

He paused, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "This is the closest I've ever come to a ticket to the national tournament, and it's my last chance in high school. Sousuke, I'm counting on you!"

As he spoke, the senior high school student couldn't help but take a step back and bow to Zongjie.

Sousuke waved his hands repeatedly: "Minister, there's no need for that. Don't worry... as long as you don't mess things up..."

He flashed a confident smile: "We've got the national championship in our grasp!"

***

In the afternoon, after the regular classes ended.

Sousuke, carrying his large bag, led Yumi Mifune and Saki Yotsuba toward the school gate.

Both he and Yumi went to participate in the competition.

As for Yotsuba Saki—

"Yeah, Yotsuba-kun, why did you come along? Aren't you a team member?" Mifune Yumi looked at Yotsuba Saki with a smile as she dragged her small suitcase and followed Sousuke.

Yotsuba Saki gave her a shy smile and replied softly, "Because... the judo club did very well this year... so... so non-participating members are also allowed to come and cheer, but they have to pay for their own accommodation."

Mifune Yumi suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

Sousuke pinched her cheek and laughed, "Yumi, how did you become the judo club manager? How come you didn't even know about this?"

“Ugh—how did I know…” Mifune Yumi answered incoherently, then slapped Sousuke’s hand away and resumed her normal tone, “I’ve been focused on training ‘Yama Arashi’ these past few days, I haven’t had time to deal with those things.”

That's true.

In Sosuke's system, due to several days of special training, the word "Mountain Storm" has appeared in the "Special Skills" section of Mifune Yumi's panel, in addition to the Air Throw.

【Special Moves: Air Throw (Innate), Mountain Mist (SR) - Not Yet Mastered】

"Not yet proficient" means that Yumi Mifune can only use the Mountain Breeze technique in practice sessions with Sousuke.

In a real fight, if the intensity of the confrontation is too high, she will hardly have a chance to perform.

Sosuke then looked at his deskmate and smiled, "Saki, I didn't leave you alone at school this time, are you happy now?"

Yotsuba Saki glanced at him shyly, then revealed a rare, happy smile.

She said softly, "I'm so happy to be able to go to the venue to cheer for Sosuke-kun."

Looking at her shy and adorable appearance, Sousuke couldn't help but sneak up and whisper in her ear: "Saki-chan, you should be staying at the same hotel as us, right? Can the daily lap pillow and ear cleaning service continue?"

My deskmate suddenly lowered his head, his face turning bright red all the way to the roots of his neck.

A few seconds later, she nodded firmly.

"Um......"

Upon hearing his classmate's barely audible reply, Sosuke couldn't help but let a slight smile twitch at the corners of his mouth.

What an understanding and kind child!

The three walked and talked, and soon arrived outside the school.

A long row of seven or eight large buses was already parked on the roadside.

There were significantly more buses this time than last week.

The main reason is that all the clubs that passed the previous round of preliminary selection have already had the opportunity to compete for tickets to the national competition.

To boost morale, the school made a special exception for non-participating club members to travel at their own expense to support their clubs.

Sosuke glanced at it briefly and spotted the bus he needed to get to.

Iga Yahiko and Tenkoji, wearing a baseball cap, were standing in front of the bus, registering passengers.

The two main generals seemed to dislike each other.

Of course, the one who was mainly unhappy was Iga Yahiko.

After all, he was the one whose love was stolen away.

Then, both of them saw Sosuke and his group.

They both wore almost identical smiles.

Chapter 83 The True Strongest!

"Sousuke (Atobe)! You've come!"

Iga Yahiko and Tenkoji Kenji gave Atobe Sousuke ingratiating smiles.

It's like two sycophants seeing a goddess.

Sosuke sighed. Why isn't my club leader a woman?

By the way, Motoko Itsuka is the captain of the women's kendo club, so I'm practically a captain too.

After a brief greeting to the two commanders, Sosuke got into the car with his two henchmen.

Then, at a glance, you can see Wufang Suzi in the middle to rear position.

The kendo girl was also watching him quietly with sharp eyes.

stare! (￣へ￣)

Before Sousuke could speak, Yumi Mifune, who was behind him, also noticed Motoko Itako. She immediately squeezed past Sousuke, happily dragging her suitcase over: "Motoko, I'll sit with you!"

Motoko stopped looking at Sosuke, turned around and gave Yumi Mifune a slight smile. She took Yumi Mifune's suitcase, easily lifted it and put it on the overhead luggage rack.

"Motoko, you're so tall! I'm so envious."
