I teach judo in Tokyo.

Sosuke gave an OK sign to indicate that he understood.

At this moment, in the center of the field, the quarterfinals of Group A and Group B had already started simultaneously. Hojo Kazuya and Iga Yahiko immediately led several teammates and hurriedly ran off the field to gather information.

“Teachers’ College, I’d like to go take a look too, are you coming?” Yumi Mifune was itching to go.

Sosuke waved his hand, indicating that he was not interested.

The class monitor immediately jumped up from his seat and ran away.

Judo matches—that's her favorite thing to watch!

Sosuke watched the group leave, finally finding some free time. He turned to look at his classmate who had been too shy to speak.

"Saki-chan." He chuckled, "Why haven't you said a word since we left the hotel?"

Yotsuba Saki was sitting to Sousuke's left, seemingly lost in thought, looking at her own left side. Hearing Sousuke's voice, she shuddered and immediately turned to look at him: "Sousuke-kun, did you call me?"

Sosuke smiled and nodded, then glanced around to make sure no one else was there. He then secretly reached out and took his deskmate's soft hand in his own: "What are you thinking about?"

Yotsuba Saki hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked up and stared directly into Sousuke's eyes, as if she had mustered a lot of courage to ask, "Sousuke-kun! You...you...do you like me with my glasses on, or without them?"

Sosuke paused for a moment: "Why did you think of asking that?"

My deskmate lowered his head: "I just... suddenly really want to know..."

Sousuke stroked his chin: "Last night was the first time I saw Saki without her glasses, and she looked absolutely stunning and alluring!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his deskmate lower his head and assumed that he was shy because of the praise.

However, Yotsuba Saki, with her head down, had a somewhat dim look in her eyes.

"Haha, this guy has good taste, Saki, see that? This is my charm."

To her left, Emi, who had been bickering with Yotsuba Saki the whole way, wore a smug smile.

"However, I still prefer you with glasses on."

One sentence immediately made Yotsuba Saki raise her head in surprise.

Sousuke's large hand casually lifted Yotsuba Saki's chin, and he smiled as he looked into her eyes.

Then he noticed that his deskmate's eyes, behind his black-rimmed glasses, were glistening with tears.

"Huh? Why are you crying?" Sosuke scratched his head.

Could it be that he made this little girl cry?

The next second, my usually shy and introverted classmate did something that he would never normally do in front of everyone.

With tears in her eyes, she suddenly reached out and hugged Sosuke's neck, then leaned in and kissed him.

Sosuke's eyes widened.

At this moment, he inexplicably thought of those melodramatic Korean idol dramas he had watched in his past life.

When the female lead in the story is suddenly kissed by the male lead, her reaction might be exactly the same as his now.

Their lips touched briefly before parting.

Yotsuba Saki's courage, so fragile it was practically nonexistent, could only go this far at most.

Then, she immediately shrank back, tucking her head into her chest like a quail.

Sousuke touched his lips and looked at Yotsuba Saki with a playful smile.

He teased, "Saki, why did you attack me?"

He paused, then deliberately stared at his deskmate, noticing that the girl was practically shrinking back.

Sousuke loved teasing Yotsuba Saki like this. He chuckled and said, "Saki, you startled me with your sudden ambush. As punishment, you have to come to my room again tonight!"

He thought his little classmate would become even more shy from his teasing, but to his surprise, she immediately raised her head.

"Okay!" She said softly but firmly, suppressing her immense embarrassment, "Sousuke-kun... tonight, I'll do the same thing for you as yesterday!"

Now it was Atobe Sousuke's turn to be dumbfounded: O_o?

Wow! I exclaimed, "Wow!"

On the other side, unseen by anyone, Emi curled her lip in disdain.

"Yotsuba Saki, you're so cheap!"

Yotsuba Saki turned her head and glared at her.

"You're the shameless one! You were so forward last night, even sticking your tongue out!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Emi's face flushed red. "I didn't stick out my tongue! It was him, he forcibly took it away!"

Yotsuba Saki adjusted her glasses, and a flash of white light appeared on the lenses.

"Anyway, you're shameless. You even helped Sousuke do that kind of thing later on. That should have been what I did..."

"You're talking nonsense! It's because...it's because I wanted to annoy you...ughhh! Anyway, it's none of my business!"

Emi was thus defeated.

Chapter 92 To deal with that guy, we might consider using ground techniques! (Sixth update)

Fifteen minutes later.

The semifinalists for Groups A and B have been determined; now it's Groups C and D's turn.

Sosuke, having been called by phone, arrived at the venue early with his classmate.

After finding the arena belonging to Tsurumine High School, before even getting close, Yumi Mifune came bounding towards them, clearly in a very good mood.

"Shi Fan, why are you only coming down now!" she asked with a grin, tugging at the sash of her judo uniform.

Sousuke had already changed into his judo uniform for the competition, with the name Tsurumine on the back of the blue uniform.

He reached out and ruffled the judo girl's hair, revealing a gentle smile: "Yumi, have you seen any exciting matches or dark horse teams?"

Yumi Mifune nodded and then shook her head: "There were some exciting matches, but I didn't see any dark horses among the high schools. This year, it's probably still those three strong schools that will dominate."

Sosuke knew that the three strong schools that Mifune Yumi mentioned were Shutoku, Itokuyama, and Fudomine.

And Kirisaki, which was originally the fourth strongest school, will probably become history from now on.

"Wait a minute!" Yumi Mifune suddenly paused, then said with a grin, "Speaking of dark horses, isn't our own Tsurumine the only dark horse this year?!"

“That’s right.” Iga Yahiko also walked over with a smile. He nodded at Sousuke and said, “Sousuke, look over there—the captains of those three families have brought their people to watch our match again.”

Sosuke looked in the direction he indicated, and sure enough, there stood three teams with a completely different aura from other high schools, led by three exceptionally outstanding experts.

Shutoku's ace, the so-called perfect player, Midorima Shinichiro.

Inoue Tatsuyama's ace, known as the shining Saku Seishin.

Fudomine's ace, the lion-like powerhouse Tachibana Shohei.

And standing behind these people, although not as good as the main generals, their average strength surpassed that of all the other members of Tsurumine, except for Iga Yahiko and Atobe Sousuke.

This is the foundation of a strong judo school—junior high school judo prodigies who aspire to qualify for national competitions will prioritize schools with such competitive achievements when applying for higher education.

Just as Sosuke was looking toward those three groups.

Most of the people in the three teams were actually watching him.

In fact, from the day it was revealed that Sousuke had replaced Iga Yahiko and become Tsurumine's general, it all began.

Tsuramine has already become a strong contender in the Tokyo regional qualifiers.

Almost every team was watching their every move.

Yahiko Iga's exceptional strength, which has always been on par with the top aces, is certainly remarkable.

However, Atobe Sousuke, who had never appeared in any competition before, suddenly emerged, attracting even more attention from the top schools.

After all, Iga was strong, but that was known to everyone; everyone knew he had an extremely powerful over-the-shoulder throw technique.

They must have also secretly researched ways to counter this throwing technique.

But Atobe Sousuke's strength is completely baffling.

Aside from the fact that the Fudomine team happened to see Atobe Sousuke use a legendary throw that resembled "Yama-Rang," there was nothing particularly noteworthy about Sousuke's performance that anyone else witnessed.

That's what makes Sosuke so terrifying; he's so strong that he has no weaknesses.

To date, no one has been able to last a single round against him.

That's right, it was just one round—the game was decided in a single move!

Regardless of whether the opponent is strong or agile, a heavyweight or a muscular man.

Sosuke's move was to go up, grab the handle, and then throw it.

The entire competition ended with a single book.

This, in turn, left the key players and coaches of each team scratching their heads.

How am I supposed to analyze this? Aside from his incredible strength, I can't discern any specific technical characteristics!

In the end, some coaches could only come to one conclusion—given that Atobe Sousuke had never used ground techniques and seemed to be quite averse to using them.

It can be inferred that his bedroom techniques may have flaws.

Therefore, we should try to use ground fighting techniques to drag him down to the ground.

This was to avoid his terrible throwing technique.

In fact, some coaches have already begun to seriously train their key players in these skills.

......

If their tactical plans were known to Sousuke's side, it would most likely elicit the same expression from Tsurumine and his group.

(Oo)

Using physical techniques to deal with Atobe Sousuke?

We can only wish these opponents, who are busy preparing their ground tactics, good luck.

In short, everyone is paying attention to Sousuke's matches, hoping to figure out his technical characteristics.

But this goal ultimately failed.

Even this was the last round of group stage matches before the semifinals.

Sousuke calmly went up on stage and then threw his opponent to the ground.

After a morning of competition, the teams went from eight to four, from four to two, and finally from two to one.

After three rounds, Atobe Sousuke took five throws in total, using a different throw technique each time.

He didn't use any special techniques; he always used ordinary throws like the shokubu, naigari, daigoi, or common throws like the naigari-to.

Then they easily secured the victory.

This directly led to Hefeng High School securing the winner of Group D ahead of schedule.

Furthermore, due to the early withdrawal of the seeded team Kirisaki High School, Tsurumine High School, the winner of Group D, became the first confirmed semifinalist!

After Sousuke casually and steadily threw down the general of today's last team match, he paid no further attention to his opponent lying on the tatami mat.

Instead, he straightened up and his gaze swept over the faces of the three college aces who were watching him from the sidelines.

Then, he gave them a slightly mocking smile.

Correspondingly, the aces of the three top universities are in no way inferior to Sosuke in terms of outward presence.

They responded to Sosuke with a calm and composed smile.

Then, all the teams turned and left at the same time.

All parties behaved very politely.

The tournament broadcast then announced the official end of the group elimination stage.

All the judo participants left the martial arts arena and returned to the stands as requested by the organizers.

......

Back on the sidelines, Atobe Sousuke immediately spotted Motoko Itaka standing quietly by the audience.

The other person spotted him immediately and walked straight over.
