Chapter 316 The Interesting Shotaro Hidari in the Wind City: A One-Third of a Half-baked Talent

2004, October.

Fengdu (Windy City)

Four years later, Shen Yun stepped into the city again.

Feeling the gentle breeze blowing in his face, Shen Yun looked at A2 beside him and asked, "The graduation ceremony of Fengdu University should be today, right?"

"Yes." A2 nodded.

Graduation season in Japanese schools usually falls in March.

And Sudo Kirihiko is graduating this year.

In Japan, graduation season is equivalent to job season, and many companies recruit new employees at this time.

Shen Yun took time out of his busy schedule to come to Fengdu to invite Sudo Kirihiko to join the X Foundation and have Sudo Kirihiko work for him.

After all, he had supported the Sudo siblings for so many years, and they should repay him.

"Over the years, the security in Fengdu seems to have deteriorated quite a bit," Shen Yun said, glancing at the group of delinquent youths with brightly dyed hair gathered by the roadside.

However, this is understandable.

The museum used the wind as an experimental site, constantly selling Gaia Memory to collect data on it.

It's quite normal for the security situation in Fengdu to deteriorate.

Shen Yun glanced at it briefly before deciding to leave with A2 and head to Fengdu University.

However, these delinquent youths took the initiative to cause them trouble.

"Boss, look!" A blond-haired guy who was squatting on the ground smoking was immediately amazed when he saw A2. He quickly patted the delinquent youth with a scar on his face next to him.

"What's wrong?" The scarred delinquent turned around and asked impatiently.

"Boss, look over there, it's top-notch!" the blond guy said excitedly, pointing at A2.

Scarface's face also showed amazement when he saw A2.

He had slept with quite a few schoolgirls, but compared to the one in front of him, those schoolgirls were nothing.

"Boss, wanna go chat her up?"

"Nonsense." Scarface stubbed out his cigarette on the side of the road and said, "This is top-quality, of course we have to get our hands on it, and then you guys can have some fun too."

Upon hearing this, the group of scoundrels immediately burst into laughter.

As for Shen Yun, they naturally ignored him.

They've hit these so-called "adults" before, and they have no respect for them.

Passersby around the area also showed disgust upon seeing this group of delinquents and kept their distance from them.

This group of delinquent youths, with their arrogant and unapproachable strides, walked towards Shen Yun and A2.

Seeing the group of delinquent youths on the roadside suddenly walking towards them, Shen Yun looked at A2 beside him and joked with a smile, "Looks like we've been targeted by them. You really are a femme fatale."

As she spoke, Shen Yun pinched A2's delicate and adorable face.

"Then you must protect me, Doctor." A2 hugged Shen Yun's arm, looked up at Shen Yun, and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Shen Yun smiled faintly, a hint of anticipation in his heart.

Has the kind of pretentious, face-slapping plot from urban novels finally come true for him?

Thinking this, the group of delinquents had already surrounded the two of them.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Shotaro, now a high school student, walked aimlessly down the road with his hands in his pockets, kicking pebbles along the way. His eyes were slightly fierce, and his face showed a hint of unspoken frustration.

"Why won't you accept me, Oya-san? I'm not a child anymore," Shotaro said, frustrated.

Four years have passed, and he has grown from a child into a man, but the uncle still refuses to take him on as a disciple.

This made Shotaro Satoshi very irritable.

"Beautiful lady, would you like to come with us for some fun? It's on me."

These teasing words reached Shotaro's ears and immediately caught his attention.

He turned his head and saw several delinquent youths surrounding a young couple.

Upon seeing this, Zuo Xiangtaro's eyes suddenly turned cold and fierce. Without thinking, he rushed over and kicked Scarface, sending him flying.

"Boss!" The delinquents exclaimed in surprise, then turned to glare at Shotaro Zuo, who had kicked the scarred man away and stood in front of Shen Yun and A2.

"You bastard, are you looking to die?"

"What I can't stand the most is you guys, you're a disgrace to Futo!" Shotaro Sato gave the group of delinquents a thumbs-down gesture and said disdainfully.

"Damn it!" The group of delinquents were furious and immediately stepped forward to fight with Shotaro.

Shen Yun, who had originally planned to teach these delinquents a lesson, changed his mind after seeing Zuo Xiangtaro's move and watched the situation unfold with great interest.

"Tsk." A2 looked at Shotaro Hidari and clicked his tongue slightly in displeasure.

eventful.

Shotaro's skills were quite good. Although he was surrounded by several delinquents, he fought with a ruthless spirit of exchanging injury for injury, and he did not fall behind these delinquents.

But as the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands, let alone when the opponent has more than four hands.

Under the siege of this group of thugs, Shotaro Hidari quickly sustained injuries.

"Bang!"

Scarface's fist struck Shotaro Zuo in the face, causing Zuo to stagger.

"Whoa!" Zuo Xiangtaro took the punch head-on, pressed himself against Scarface's front, and swung his fist, delivering a heavy blow to Scarface's nose.

Scarface winced in pain, clutching his nose and staggering back two steps, two streams of hot liquid flowing from his nasal cavity.

Just as Shotaro was about to continue his pursuit, a delinquent with a mozzarella hairstyle suddenly attacked from the side, kicking Shotaro in the side.

"Ugh." Shotaro groaned, staggered back several steps, and finally sat down on the ground.

Once the scarred man recovered, he reached up and wiped his face, revealing a shocking sight of bright red blood.

"You bastard!" Scarface roared in fury, stepped forward, grabbed Shotaro's collar, and was about to strike when...

"Hey! What are you doing?!" A middle-aged man in a police uniform rode up on a bicycle and shouted.

"Damn it! It's the police! Boss, run!" Upon seeing the patrolman arriving on a bicycle, the delinquents' expressions changed, and they abandoned Shotaro and turned to run.

Although they are not afraid of "adults", if they are caught by the police, they will inevitably be detained for a period of time.

"You brat, you're lucky. You'll remember this!" Scarface glared fiercely at Zuo Xiangtaro, shoved him to the ground, and then hurriedly fled with his henchmen.

Shotaro sat on the ground, coldly watching the fleeing scarred man, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Shotaro looked somewhat disheveled.

His cheeks were swollen and red, there was some blood at the corner of his mouth, there was a large footprint on the side of his clothes, and there were some bruises on his fists, which were constantly oozing blood.

"A2, go to a nearby store and buy some medicine," Shen Yun instructed, looking at Zuo Xiangtaro, who was covered in bruises.

"Okay, sure." A2 turned and ran into a nearby store.

"Hey bro, are you alright?" Shen Yun came up to Zuo Xiangtaro and extended his hand to him.

"I'm fine." Zuo Xiangtaro wiped his hands and reached out to hold Shen Yun's hand.

Shen Yun pulled Zuo Xiangtaro up from the ground.

At that moment, Mikio Renno also pushed his bicycle up to Shotaro Hidari.

Looking at the bruised and battered Shotaro, Renno sighed, "Shotaro, why are you fighting with these delinquents again?"

"Uncle Ren, I'm sorry for causing you trouble again." Zuo Xiangtaro didn't explain, but just bowed his head and apologized.

"Inspector Renno, you've misunderstood. This young man saw us being harassed by these thugs, and he fought them to protect us. He was doing a heroic act." Shen Yun walked to Zuo Xiangtaro's side, patted Zuo Xiangtaro's shoulder, and explained with a smile.

"Oh? Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Mikio Rinno looked at Shotaro with relief and said, "Shotaro, I'll let it go this time. I won't cause you any trouble, but you mustn't fight with these delinquents again next time."

"I understand, Uncle Ren," Shotaro replied evasively.

"Good to know." Mikio Renno nodded in satisfaction and continued his patrol, pushing his bicycle.

"Uncle Ren is still so easy to fool." Watching Renno Mikio's departing figure, Shotaro muttered to himself, patted the dust off his clothes, and prepared to leave.

"Young man, don't rush off. Let me treat your wound as a token of my gratitude for your help," Shen Yun said with a smile, pressing down on Zuo Xiangtaro's shoulder.

Although these few delinquents posed no real threat to them, at most they were just a source of amusement.

But Shotaro was injured while protecting them, so no matter what, he has to accept this debt.

"No need." Shotaro waved his hand, putting on a tough guy look, and said, "It's just a minor injury, I don't care at all."

Seeing Zuo Xiangtaro with swollen cheeks trying to look tough, Shen Yun couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh? Is that so?" Shen Yun reached out and poked Zuo Xiangtaro's swollen cheek.

"Ouch~ It hurts!" Shotaro immediately broke down, clutching his swollen cheek and crying out in pain.

Shen Yun watched with a pleased expression as Zuo Xiangtaro jumped up and down, crying out in pain.

Shotaro Hidari is really quite interesting.

"Doctor, I've bought the medicine." A2 ran back and handed the bandages and anti-inflammatory and disinfectant lotion to Shen Yun.

"Let's go to the park bench in front, I'll treat your wound." Shen Yun put his arm around Zuo Xiangtaro's shoulder and led the reluctant Zuo Xiangtaro to sit down on the park bench in front.

Shen Yun had A2 fetch some tap water from the park to clean Zuo Xiangtaro's slightly bruised right hand. After cleaning away the dirt, sand, and other grime from the wound, Shen Yun used a cotton swab dipped in iodine to disinfect the bruised area.

Fortunately, iodine solution is not very irritating to wounds. Although it stings a little, it is still within the tolerable range.

After bandaging Shotaro's right hand with a medical bandage, Shen Yun began applying medicine to Shotaro's swollen cheek to reduce the swelling.

The burning sensation on his face made Shotaro grimac in pain.

"Gently, gently. It hurts!"

"If you're a man, you should bear with it," Shen Yun said.

"Huh?" Shen Yun's words seemed to have triggered something. Zuo Xiangtaro pointed to his face and said, "Just by looking at my tough guy face, it's obvious, isn't it?"

"Pfft." Shen Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"A tough guy? I've never seen a tough guy with such a short temper. He can't even be patient. He's just a half-baked guy at best. No, he's not even a half-baked guy. He's at most a third of a half-baked guy," Shen Yun commented.

The current Shotaro Hidari isn't even half-baked.

"Endure..." Upon hearing Shen Yun's words, Zuo Xiangtaro immediately fell silent.

Both Ou Yasang and this uncle they just met said he wouldn't be patient.

However, patience is indeed the thing he is least good at.

"Uncle, is patience really that important?" Shotaro asked, looking somewhat confused.

Uncle?

Shen Yun raised an eyebrow, but did not correct Zuo Xiangtaro's way of addressing him.

At his age, he could be Shotaro's grandfather, so being called "uncle" is nothing to worry about.

"Oh? It seems there's a story behind it. If you don't mind, tell me about it. Maybe I can give you some advice," Shen Yun said with a smile.

After hearing this, Shotaro hesitated for a moment before finally pouring out his troubles.

"No matter how much I pester Ou Yasan, he ignores me. I want to gain Ou Yasan's approval," Shotaro Zuo said, distressed.

"Silly boy, if he really had no feelings for you, why would he let you pester him for so many years?" Shen Yun laughed.

Sometimes, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly.

"If that's really the case, then why did Ou Yasan...?"

"Have you ever considered that he might be testing you?" Shen Yun asked, looking at Zuo Xiangtaro.

"Huh? Testing me?"

"That's right. In my hometown, becoming an apprentice is not an easy thing. Masters will set many tests for their apprentices. Only if the apprentice passes the master's tests will he be accepted as a disciple." Shen Yun gave Zuo Xiangtaro an example.

"So, Uncle was testing me?" Shotaro suddenly realized, but quickly fell into a dilemma, pondering, "What exactly is Uncle trying to test me about?"

Suddenly, a thought struck Shotaro, and he excitedly stood up, exclaiming, "I understand!"

Ou Yasang's test for him must be patience!

Yes, that must be it!

If he can learn how to be patient, he might be able to pass Ousan's test.

"Thank you, Uncle. After your guidance, I understand completely." Zuo Xiangtaro stood up from the park bench, bowed to Shen Yun, and then jogged away from the park.

Watching Shotaro Zuo run away, Shen Yun couldn't help but smile.

It's unclear what Shotaro Zuo understood.

but……

"This kid is really an interesting fellow."

"Doctor, what should we do with those people?" A2 asked.

"Have someone investigate. If their behavior isn't too egregious, break their legs first, then send them to prison to reflect on their actions. As for those whose behavior is truly egregious, let them all sink into Tokyo Bay to feed the fish; they have no value living anyway," Shen Yun said casually.

To be honest, he didn't send these guys to be experimented on; he just sank them into Tokyo Bay to feed the fish.

He was still too kind.

"I understand." A2 nodded and immediately made the arrangements.

With the power of Consortium X in Fuuto, investigating what a few delinquents have done in the past is extremely simple.
