I teach judo in Tokyo.

Mifune Yumi puffed out her cheeks and walked over: "Atobe, tell me the truth, were you holding back just now?"

Seeing her puffed-up face, Atobe Sousuke instinctively reached out to pat her head as an elder: "Boys have an advantage when fighting with girls, so don't overthink it."

"Don't touch my head, I'm not a child!" Yumi Mifune slapped Sosuke's hand away, still a little sullen, but she didn't make a fuss anymore.

Sousuke breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Iga Yahiko on the sidelines: "Captain, do you think I passed the entrance exam?"

"Clap clap clap!"

Iga Yahiko clapped his hands, beaming with joy: "Atobe-kun, you're amazing! It's like a windfall to have you join our judo club!"

[Current Status (Yahiko Iga): Although we lost the Kanto Tournament, maybe we can get the Tokyo spot for IH this time! My dream...]

Meanwhile, Yotsuba Saki stared blankly at Atobe Sousuke, who was shining brightly, and gradually couldn't help but lower her head.

Her toes and fingertips touched each other lightly, and she looked somewhat forlorn.

Sosuke-kun...he is so dazzling.

Am I really qualified to be his friend?

I'm such an insignificant, marginalized person who couldn't make any friends during my three years of junior high... a nobody...

"Captain Iga, and my deskmate, Yotsuba Saki, also wants to join the club, is that alright?"

Just as Yotsuba Saki was once again caught in a strange state of self-pity, Atobe Sousuke's clear voice rang out again.

Then, she felt her hand being pulled by a strong, large hand.

She couldn't help but look up, and her eyes met those of Atobe Sousuke, who was smiling with his head down.

Sousuke looked at Yotsuba Saki and said with a smile, "Classmate, I'll be your one-on-one instructor for judo training from now on."

Yotsuba Saki stared blankly into Atobe Sousuke's eyes, feeling as if a sun was shining behind the man in front of her.

Incredibly dazzling.

Chapter 13 Bad

After simply proving his abilities, Atobe Sousuke successfully enrolled in the club with Yotsuba Saki.

In fact, he doesn't need to prove his abilities.

Because of poor performance in major competitions year after year, the judo team of Hefeng has been depleted of talent in the past two years. We would be happy to have new people join us, so how could we possibly drive them away?

After successfully joining the club, you will usually start participating in club activities immediately.

In the judo club, club activities naturally consist of daily training and instruction.

For example, various body-bending exercises that the group does, or movement instruction conducted by the minister and coach, etc.

The judo club coach didn't come today, so the club president, Yahiko Iga, is in charge of supervising the members' practice.

According to the various opinions of the club members, because the judo club was weak, the coach assigned to the judo club by the school was actually a professional course teacher on a part-time basis, whose skill level was not as good as Iga's, and who rarely came to the club.

He is a character who only appears when he is a coach leading a team in a major competition.

However, since they hadn't bought judo uniforms or other supplies, Atobe Sousuke left with Yotsuba Saki after completing the membership procedures.

Of course, if you are an ordinary student or a new member, you must take care of the logistical work of your seniors.

For example, after each recruitment, the newly joined junior members are responsible for washing and drying the judo uniforms of the senior members.

Obviously, this approach is only suitable for ordinary newcomers.

This does not apply to Atobe Sousuke after he has proven his strength.

He's the guy who can use aerial spins, a technique rarely seen in high-level competitions, to escape unscathed from Yumi Mifune's "air throw".

How could they follow these seemingly strict rules just like ordinary newcomers?

Moreover, Atobe Sousuke is technically a second-year high school student, so he can be considered a senior.

As for Yotsuba Saki?

Although it was obvious at a glance that she was a timid, cowardly, and withdrawn pushover.

But when Sousuke calmly pulled her out of the judo club, she was already labeled as "Sousuke Atobe's follower".

The Japanese are very good at reading the room.

(Reading the air: This can be roughly equated with the meaning of reading between the lines.)

***

After leaving the judo club, Atobe Sousuke took out his phone and glanced at it.

4:15 PM.

I spent half an hour in the judo club.

He turned to look at Yotsuba Saki, who was standing beside him, head bowed in shyness but still holding his hand firmly: "Saki, if you don't mind, I'll call you that from now on. Similarly, you can call me Sousuke."

"Okay, okay..."

My deskmate is basically in a state where Sosuke can mold and manipulate him at will.

Sosuke squeezed her hand; it was a little damp and cool. It always felt nice to squeeze a girl's small hand, and since she didn't pull away, he was happy to keep holding it.

Then, he raised an eyebrow: "So, I saw you looking at your phone the whole time. Were those female delinquents looking for you?"

Yotsuba Saki hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "They asked me to meet them in an alley outside the school, saying they wanted to introduce me to a boyfriend..."

"How did you get involved with these people?" Sosuke asked as he led her straight out of the school.

Yotsuba Saki followed closely behind, her expression somewhat ashamed: "I've never had any friends, so I wanted to make some, but only they were willing to talk to me first."

Sosuke couldn't help but flick her forehead: "Now you know you were wrong, right?"

Yotsuba Saki said dejectedly, "I know."

The two talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the destination that Yotsuba Saki had mentioned.

In a small alley a few hundred meters behind Hefeng High School, waiting for the two of them were three men and two women.

The two girls didn't quite match the image of delinquent girls that Sosuke had imagined, but they were still easily distinguishable from ordinary students.

Their most distinctive feature is that their makeup makes them appear significantly more mature than ordinary female students.

When they saw Yotsuba Saki, they immediately smiled and wanted to come over, but then they stopped when they saw the tall boy holding Yotsuba Saki's hand.

Then, they hesitated and glanced back at the three men behind them. As if they had gained some courage, they turned back and gave Atobe Sousuke and Yotsuba Saki strange smiles.

"Yotsuba, you've finally arrived. We've been waiting for so long," one of the girls, who looked quite glamorous, said with a subtle smile.

Then, she turned her gaze to Atobe Sousuke standing next to Yotsuba Saki: "Is this your friend?"

Before Yotsuba Saki could answer, another delinquent girl smiled at Atobe Sousuke and said, "Although you are Yotsuba's friend, we are not familiar with each other. Yotsuba made an appointment with us to go out together this time. Handsome, you can go back now."

As they spoke, the five people, especially the three men at the back, all gave Atobe Sousuke a dangerous smile.

Their meaning is quite clear.

'Kid, you'd better get lost.'

Sosuke glanced at the tattoos on the three men's exposed vests and short sleeves, his lowered eyes narrowing slightly.

I initially thought he was just an ordinary thug.

Is the result the ultimate path?

Is this Tokyo I've been transported to really the same world as before?

Seeing both delinquent girls and yakuza thugs, Sousuke began to have some doubts for the first time.

After all, although he didn't know much about Japan in his previous life, he had the impression that organizations like "Yakuza" were already in their twilight years in Japan, and he had occasionally heard rumors that they were aging and about to disappear.

How come we see young people becoming yakuza members these days?

The concept of "parallel worlds" involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Something feels off. I'll go back and check the information again...

For now, let's deal with the immediate issue first.

He turned to look at Yotsuba Saki beside him, whose face was already showing fear, and felt her small hand trembling slightly as she gripped his.

Then, he smiled slightly at the three men and two women in front of him.

"Just to put it simply, don't appear in front of me and Saki again, or else..."

The smile on his face slowly changed, becoming three times more terrifying than the other person's smile.

"You'll die!"

The two female delinquents took a step back, frightened by Atobe Sousuke's terrifying gaze and smile.

But the three yakuza men behind them had seen this kind of bluffing many times before, so they weren't afraid at all!

Seeing that a school uniform-wearing boy like Atobe Sousuke dared to bare his teeth at them, they pounced on him at lightning speed!

"Kolaaaa! You reckless brat!"

Who do you think you are?!

"How dare you speak to me like that?"

Three different shouts and curses rang out. The three men completely disregarded the one-on-one Bushido spirit and instead unhesitatingly threw punches and kicks at Atobe Sousuke.

Atobe Sousuke still had that dangerous smile on his face. He casually nudged Yotsuba Saki behind him.

Then, he stepped forward and swiftly grabbed one of the men's fists. As the other two attacked, he used explosive force to pull the unfortunate man in front of him as a shield.

His two companions, unable to stop their punches and kicks after being blocked by him, landed on the unfortunate man, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Sai, what are you doing!"

"You idiot Sai, are you a pig?!"

Amidst the shouts and curses, they saw Atobe Sousuke, who was hiding behind Sai, suddenly grab Sai's upper body and pin him down.

At the same time, Sai's hand, which was being held, was twisted violently by Atobe Sousuke in the opposite direction of the joint!

"Squeak!"

A sickening sound suddenly rang out, accompanied by Sai's scream, as he was thrown aside by Atobe Sousuke like a garbage bag.

Sai, lying on the ground, clutched his limp arms and rolled around, wailing in pain.

Joint locks are techniques that are strictly restricted in formal judo competitions.

Now, Atobe Sousuke used it with remarkable ease in actual street fighting.

The two of them twitched at the sight, as if their own arms had been twisted off.

Sosuke's smile finally had a deterrent effect. He stepped forward, his voice clear yet sinister.

"You could have just left quietly, but you insisted on courting death. Fine, I'll grant your wish!"

Chapter 14 My Deskmate is a Rich Girl? (Please read on!)

Atobe Sousuke walked step by step toward the two yakuza thugs who were slowly retreating.

Ever since he received the protective techniques and explosive physique provided by the system, he has been eager to test the true level of his abilities.

This is what is meant by "possessing a sharp weapon, one's murderous intent arises spontaneously."

Now that it has been verified, he has a basic understanding.

Let's not even talk about the dormitory skills that have already reached level 18.

Even his level 8 throws and parries are enough to overwhelm "ordinary men with fighting experience".

(Throwing techniques refer to various throwing techniques; striking techniques refer to punching and kicking techniques; and ground techniques refer to various joint locks, chokes, etc.)

"Kid, you've got some nerve, daring to mess with Yan Jian's group?" One of the remaining two men gritted his teeth and revealed a peculiar pattern on his cuff.

Atobe Sousuke was puzzled by his opponent's inexplicable act of revealing a pattern.

But in this atmosphere, he wouldn't ask what it meant.

Do you stop after your opponent reveals their identity?

Where does that leave his pride?
