I teach judo in Tokyo.

Amidst the cacophony of noise, two aces dressed in blue judo uniforms faced off in silence.

Saku Seishin is even taller than Sousuke, nearly 1.9 meters tall, which is considered extremely tall in Japan. He is a handsome man with slightly curly short hair.

After taking the stage, he simply gazed at Atobe Sousuke without offering to speak.

Sosuke didn't take it seriously and directly displayed the opponent's tags.

[Chief of Idayama Judo Club: Saku Seomi]

Age: 18

[Entry related to: Negative Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder]

[Possesses self-defense techniques: Judo - Throwing techniques 11, Parrying techniques 7, Ground techniques 8]

[Special Move: Changing Line to Grab]

Current status: The air is very polluted.

He nodded secretly.

This guy's throwing skills are even a level higher than Minister Iga Yahiko's.

This means that his throwing skills are two levels higher than Sousuke's...

No wonder he's considered one of the top athletes in the country.

It's finally starting to get interesting.

Sosuke couldn't help but reveal an expectant smile.

Immediately following the referee's instructions, the two bowed respectfully to each other and then struck their preferred poses.

"Let the competition begin!"

As soon as the referee announced the news, before Sousuke could even make a move, he saw the taciturn Saku Seishin rushing towards him at lightning speed!

A fast break right from the start!

Nobody paid any attention to the simultaneous matches in the other group of the semifinals.

All eyes were on Sousuke's duel!

Saku Seishin suddenly rushed in front of Sousuke and reached out with both hands towards his collar.

He was expressionless, exuding a cold and aloof aura.

If an ordinary player faces someone like this, they will inevitably feel psychologically disadvantaged.

Unlike Sosuke, he effortlessly raised his hand and brushed away his opponent's hands.

Then, as if in a flash, his outstretched hands blocked nothing!

Saku Seishin's hand somehow managed to deceive Sousuke's screen with a strange trajectory.

Then, she quickly grabbed Sousuke's sleeves!

Change lanes and grab!

The next second, he turned around smoothly and bumped into Atobe Sousuke's arms!

Cross your hands and engage your waist and hips!

Sosuke was flipped into the air in an instant!

Judo throwing skills - sleeves hooked into the waist!

"Whoosh!"

The rapidly changing situation immediately drew gasps from the entire audience!

Atobe Sousuke, who has been crushing his opponents, is about to be defeated by Saku Seishin in the next round!

However, before the exclamations could subside, a second wave immediately erupted!

Sousuke, who was launched into the air and looked like he was about to lose, actually completed an incredible aerial spin to everyone's astonishment!

Cat Willow!

Chapter 98 Unexpected Counterattack

On the field, the situation can change in an instant.

One second ago, everyone was still in shock that Sousuke was about to be instantly killed.

The next second, Sosuke magically flipped his body in the air and landed smoothly.

The cheers and shouts of the audience were turned into a noisy gasp by Sosuke's rare cat-willow technique.

Amid the gasps of surprise, some less knowledgeable spectators began to whisper among themselves.

What just happened?

"How did that commander of Hefeng manage to do that?"

"A 360-degree handstand in mid-air? Is he doing figure skating?!"

On the second floor, the players from Fudomine and Shutoku High School were leaning against the railing, watching the match between Atobe Sousuke and Saku Seishin closely.

After witnessing Atobe Sousuke's amazing aerial spinning technique.

The less experienced team members all looked at their captain without prior arrangement.

"It's a special technique used by high-level judo practitioners, the nemesis of most throwing techniques—Nekoyanagi!"

Shohei Tachibana of Fudomine stared wide-eyed at the two who were rapidly exchanging blows in the arena, and subconsciously offered a hurried explanation.

"Generally, this technique is only used occasionally by top-level judo athletes in world-class judo competitions. It is extremely difficult to use, and failure to use it can even lead to injury because the user does not have time to recover. It is not a technique promoted by the official judo organization."

His eyes gleamed with excitement as he stared intently at Atobe Sousuke, who was calmly facing off against Saku Seishin.

Its offensive technique is the Phantom Throw – Mountain Storm.

It possesses a highly difficult technique – Cat Willow.

Atobe Sousuke, who exactly are you?

I can't wait to fight you!

......

No matter how noisy the crowd is, the fight on the field will not stop for a moment.

Atobe Sousuke, whom he had thrown, miraculously completed a flip, without causing any change in Saku Seishin's expression.

Even in the main tournament of the national competition, he can face all strong opponents with a calm and composed demeanor.

They possess a strong heart that can calmly cope with any change.

So, he kept his handsome face tense and rushed out while Sosuke was still unsteady on his feet, grabbing Sosuke again.

Sosuke was fearless and met the attack with fierce courage.

The two exchanged several picks and blocks in a matter of seconds.

Saku Seishin possessed throwing skills two levels higher than Atobe Sousuke's, and coupled with his day and night practice of changing direction grabbing techniques, he clearly had a significant advantage in this simple grabbing and defense game.

In less than ten rounds, he once again tricked Sosuke's screen with his hands, grabbing Sosuke's sleeve with his left hand.

His right hand had somehow somehow slipped through Sosuke's screen and firmly grabbed the back of Sosuke's shirt!

Then, taking advantage of his taller stature than Sousuke, he suddenly stepped forward and forcefully hooked Sousuke Atobe's heel with his right foot!

Great foreign harvest!

Sosuke was successfully aroused by him!

Then he grabbed Sousuke's sleeve and the back of his neck tightly and slammed it down!

Can you still do the cat-willow pose in this position?

He was thinking this unconsciously.

Sosuke no!

He exerted tremendous force from his core in mid-air, causing his right hand, which was being held by his sleeve, to suddenly pull away!

Under the terrifying force, even Saku Seishin's fingers couldn't grasp the sleeve that resembled a giant python.

Gala!

It sounded as if cloth was being torn!

Sousuke managed to pull his right hand out just before he fell to the ground!

Immediately afterwards, he fell heavily face down to the ground!

"Valid!" the referee quickly gave his score.

At the crucial moment, Atobe Sousuke avoided landing on his back, thus escaping the fate of being executed.

Fortunately, his right hand was in front of him, preventing his face from hitting the ground directly.

He rolled quickly to the side on the ground and bounced up.

When he looked over again, he saw Saku Seishin, who was about to pounce on him to add to his position with a ground attack!

That was close! I almost got into a physical fight with him!

Sosuke's forehead was covered in a few beads of sweat.

This performance immediately caught the attention of Shohei Tachibana and Shinichiro Midorima, who were carefully observing him from the audience.

This is how they avoid ground warfare.

It seems the coach was right—this guy probably isn't good at ground fighting!

On the field, Saku Seishin, who had scored a point, continued to press forward, wanting to defeat Sousuke completely in one fell swoop.

"Tsk!"

Sosuke raised an eyebrow, extremely displeased that he was being pressed so relentlessly by the other party.

His throwing skills are already better than mine, and he also has this ability to change direction and grab, so he can always gain an advantageous position.

It's really unpleasant to feel technologically suppressed.

Then we can only give up on competing with him in terms of skill!

Sosuke sighed inwardly and decided to quit.

In a flash, facing the sudden advance of Saku Seishin, Atobe Sousuke suddenly removed his hands that were blocking his way!

Saku Seishin's eyes flashed with a strange light, but he still didn't hesitate to reach out and grab Sousuke's collar tightly!

Then came a smooth, flowing, rotating, and crashing attack.

He stretched his leg between Sousuke's legs, pulling his legs back while simultaneously pulling with both hands!

Internal stock investment!

Given that he had escaped twice before by Sosuke's Cat Willow Technique by spinning in the air.

This time, Saku Seishin gripped even tighter with his hands and swung his legs even wider and more resolutely, determined to throw Sosuke Ichiro to the net!

This is the confidence of the nation's top athletes!

......

In the stands, Sousuke's three female disciples watched his match with bated breath.

When Yotsuba Saki saw Sousuke fall to the ground by Daigo Kari, she couldn't help but gasp in surprise, and Motoko Itako next to her also trembled.

Only Yumi Mifune looked puzzled.

Everyone knows how skilled Atobe Sousuke is at judo, and she certainly couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

The teacher's throwing skills seem to be slightly worse than those of Minister Iga.

However, the reality is that the minister did not have a good way to gain too much of an advantage over Sosuke through his throwing skills.

This is a difference in physical fitness.

She knew very well how strong Atobe Sousuke's physical abilities were.

This Saku Seishin looks even more formidable than the minister, but there's absolutely no way he could pull off such a crushing victory.
