I teach judo in Tokyo.

That's what a true reunion of the sect is all about.

As for whether this will turn into a chaotic scene, we'll have to adapt to the situation on the ground.

In this respect, he placed great trust in his widow, who was good at understanding people's intentions.

There definitely won't be any trouble.

"I can't wait..." Over here, Yumi Mifune had completely given up on learning. She propped her chin up with her hands, forming a flower shape, and her eyes darted around, as if she was thinking of some crazy idea.

The little classmate next to me had the same thing; ever since he heard that Sousuke had agreed to let him go to the dojo, a slight smile had been on his face.

Then, she glanced at Sosuke and said shyly but proactively, "Sosuke-kun, shall I have my family make some sweets to take with me?"

"Okay, okay!" Before Sosuke could even speak, the class representative agreed with drooling. Then she said with a grin, "I'll ask my mom to prepare some marinated barbecue ingredients and bring them over. Let's have a barbecue then!"

Then, all three of their phones vibrated again.

Evil will be slain: I will prepare homemade dishes at home and bring them over. Please tell me what snacks you would like to eat.

Evil will be slain: @Tokyo's strongest teacher, @Xiaorou Iron Man's only fan, @Yotsuba Emi.

Sosuke sighed. It seemed that this learning activity was going to become increasingly grand.

Chapter 108 Death Frenzy

Atobe Sousuke walked home helplessly.

Today, I spent the whole weekend planning a study gathering with some excited students, which resulted in all my free time at school being wasted.

Is this a case of neglecting studies for the sake of studying?

However, the girls all seemed quite happy, so let them do it.

While pondering, Sosuke, who was walking briskly, suddenly stopped, then took a few steps back and tilted his head to look at the alley he had just passed.

In the dark alley between the two buildings, the orange-haired swordswoman took a sip from her wine gourd and waved to him drunkenly.

Atobe Sousuke pursed his lips, turned around, and walked into the alley.

He stepped over several unconscious, bruised, and yakuza-dressed human scum, raised an eyebrow at Yae Meixuan: "You're here...?"

He pointed to the small fish lying on the ground and asked curiously, "Playing a fishing game?"

Yae Meixuan let out a burp, and a fruity aroma of alcohol wafted over.

Sosuke twitched his nose.

It has a rich fruity aroma, but the alcohol taste isn't too strong.

The beautiful master chuckled: "I didn't fish. I was originally waiting for you on the main road outside, but these brats came and chatted with me, and even enthusiastically brought me here to show me some good stuff, so this is the only way it turned out."

She added with a grin, "They really disappointed me. Their little earthworms are less interesting than the blood spurting out of someone's face after being punched."

Sosuke was too lazy to discuss with her whether it was a small earthworm or a large python. He asked directly, "What's wrong, Master Sister? Do you need something from me?"

As soon as he asked the question, a thought struck him.

Last weekend at the martial arts gym, this big-breasted master said he would show him around, but he didn't make a move for a whole week, and he even forgot about it.

Yae Meixuan said with a smile, "I said I would take you to see the strong. Now that I finally have a chance, I'm here to find you right away."

"So, for things like this, just make a phone call and it'll be fine..."

"It's mainly because I, your older sister, really want to see you." The big-breasted master drunkenly reached out and touched Sousuke's chest, looking like a female hooligan.

"You're being a pervert, aren't you!" Sosuke questioned righteously. "I've always believed in gender equality. If you touch me like that, I'll have to touch you back!"

As he spoke, he made a gesture of extending his wicked dragon claw hand, trying to scare the female hooligan.

Unexpectedly, the female hooligan, who was just trying to tease him, immediately leaned closer and puffed out her chest: "Come on—"

Duang!

The two of them froze simultaneously.

Two seconds later, Yae Meixuan glared at Sousuke through gritted teeth: "Isn't that enough!?"

Sousuke sheepishly withdrew his wicked hand, forcing a dry laugh: "Sorry, I didn't react in time. You startled me..."

Sorry, I was so startled I got a stiff reaction!

Master, I have to blame you. If it were any other normal older sister, even if I accidentally bumped into her, I would only feel a slight ripple at most.

As a result, your bold kimono simply couldn't contain it.

Furthermore, I suspect you—maybe you don't have that thing??

Yae Meixuan glared at him, barely suppressing the urge to draw her sword and chop the man in front of her into mincemeat. She turned around and beckoned, "Come with me."

Sosuke shrugged and took out his phone to check the time.

Hmm... judging by this, it seems I won't have time to go home for dinner today.

He quickly caught up while sending a message to his widow at home, and soon received a reply.

Putting his phone away, Sousuke looked up at his beautiful, cold-faced master beside him: "Master, where are we going?"

Yae Meixuan glanced at him: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just follow me!"

"Alright." Seeing that the big-breasted master was indeed unhappy with him, Sousuke shrugged and obediently followed behind the beauty.

......

This walk took almost half an hour.

The two wandered through the bustling city streets and alleys.

Just as Sousuke was about to complain about why they didn't choose to take a car instead of going so far, Yae Meixuan stopped.

"We're here," she said.

arrive?

Sosuke stopped, looked around, and then fixed his gaze on what was in front of him.

A half-finished, abandoned building.

The building, with its mere frame structure, resembles the main setting of a horror movie, appearing somewhat eerie under the setting sun at dusk.

Yae Meixuan reached out and handed her something: "Put it on."

Sosuke looked down and saw in the hands of the beautiful master that it was an ordinary white mask with no facial features except for the cuts around the eyes.

This time he didn't ask any questions and simply took the mask and put it on.

As we learned from the information the beautiful master told him last week, the so-called "world of the strong" is a hidden world that is difficult for ordinary people to access, and the authorities would not allow these strong people to display their power in front of ordinary people without restraint.

Therefore, concealing one's identity is a perfectly reasonable and standard requirement.

After putting on the mask, his vision was partially obscured, and at the same time, because his "true" identity was "concealed," a strange feeling arose in Sosuke's heart.

It seems something has been released.

Sosuke had seen an interesting saying in his previous life.

Due to the complexity of society and living environment, everyone will "wear" various "psychological masks" to adapt to the environment in daily life. A point of view that arises from this is: in such a situation, is the self the real self or the hypocritical self?

Correspondingly, when a person puts on a real mask and abandons their original identity—at that moment, is that person truly themselves?

Because wearing a mask is actually the same as taking it off?

Sosuke knew this was just a psychological illusion, so he adjusted his thoughts and looked at his master.

Then, unable to resist complaining, "Master, why is your mask so distinctive, while mine is just so plain and ordinary?"

Yae Meixuan was also wearing a mask, but unlike Sousuke's mask, hers looked quite exquisite.

Of course, exquisite doesn't mean beautiful—it's a grotesque mask that sends chills down your spine at first glance.

A scarlet Hannya mask.

As dusk settled, Yae Mei-hyun, wearing a demon mask, a kimono, and a katana at her waist, exuded a strange and eerie charm, almost like a demon.

It looks really cool.

Compared to this, mine looks like something a nobody would wear.

"I don't have time to order a custom-made mask for you. You bought it for two hundred yen at a roadside shop. Remember to pay me back later."

Beneath the menacing Hannya mask came the voice of Yae Mei-hsuan, which seemed to have been deliberately altered.

The beautiful master craftswoman decisively led the way into the unfinished building.

"Hurry up, the 'Death Clash' is about to begin tonight."

A deadly showdown?

Sōsuke felt a chill run down his spine and immediately followed Yae Meiken's footsteps.

Chapter 109 Snake Bites Fist (Bonus Chapter for Average Subscriptions)

As soon as you enter the building, the light immediately dims.

Atobe Sousuke quickly caught up with the beautiful master who was walking leisurely ahead, and asked curiously, "Master, what did you mean by the 'deathly duel' you just mentioned?"

"Could you please stop calling me Master?" Yae Meixuan said irritably.

"What else should I call you if not Master?" Sosuke chuckled.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Suzi calls you Master, and since you're a woman, you're Master's Wife. She calls me Instructor, and since I'm a man, that's equivalent to Master. So I should call you—"

"Clang!" The crisp sound of a sword being drawn rang out, and the cold light of the blade flowed before Sousuke's eyes like a clear spring.

Sosuke immediately shut up and raised his hands.

The two walked through the dark lobby of the unfinished building and came to the stairwell behind a wall.

Looking down, it was pitch black.

However, thanks to his keen hearing, Sosuke felt as if he had heard something unusual.

Yae Meixuan calmly led the way down, and Sousuke immediately followed.

After descending two floors, the two arrived at the depths of the unfinished building's basement.

The sounds he had just heard gradually became clearer in Sosuke's ears.

That was the cacophony of human voices!

At dusk, at the hour of the demon.

Deep inside the basement of an abandoned, unfinished building, there was a bustling crowd.

Sosuke listened intently as he followed Yae Meiken around the corner of the stairs, and then saw the door to the basement.

Above the empty door hangs a tattered "EXIT" sign that is about to fall off.

On either side of the wide door stood a burly man in a suit and sunglasses.

No, in such a dimly lit place, how can they see clearly while wearing sunglasses?

Sosuke couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The two big guys saw Sosuke and his companion a second later.

No, it should be said that the moment they saw Yae Meixuan, whose physical features were extremely distinctive, their faces showed a serious expression.

They nodded slightly respectfully, then turned to the side and extended their hands in a gesture of leading the way.

Yae Meixuan remained silent, calmly leading Atobe Sousuke through the door.

One of them saw Sosuke, who was wearing a white mask, enter. He seemed about to speak, but after thinking about it, he remained silent.

According to regulations, they are not allowed to let unidentified people in.

However, if the person who brought them was a "Peerless" level expert, then trying to stop them would be pointless.

As soon as he entered the basement through the door, bright light greeted Sosuke's eyes.

The stark contrast between light and darkness made him squint slightly. Once his eyes adjusted, he saw a scene completely different from the basement he had imagined.

Several high-powered searchlights, which had been temporarily hung up, illuminated the huge basement as if it were daytime.

In the center of the spacious area, a large, non-standard platform was erected, and people wearing all sorts of masks stood in circles around it.
