Is there anyone who really wants to be a partner of justice?

Is it because she is too gentle? No, the real reason is that she has no ability to adapt to the changes in the environment. She is basically just a person who has everything she wants and passively accepts the status quo.

She has been content with the status quo for so long that she has no concept of any other environment. I guess this girl has never been bullied from elementary school to junior high school.

But when she reached high school, the environment was different and there were people who dared to bully her. However, her mindset was still at the stage of being cared for by her parents and loved by her classmates and teachers. After being bullied, the first thing she thought of was not resistance, but confusion.

Because her attitude towards life has always been to passively accept everything her parents arranged for her, accept the kindness from her classmates and teachers, and she has never thought of resisting. So how will she respond to such a sudden malice? "

"...Continue to passively accept the malice..." Ai muttered.

"Yes, this is the real reason. The reason why this girl is willing to continue to be bullied and spend money to avoid disaster is because she is trapped by her own habit of not wanting to change and passively accepting.

In such a situation, external help and good intentions cannot break the cocoon. If you want to change, you must use more violent means to break the cocoon. So, if you want her to change? Enroll her in a Sanda class. There is no more effective method than physical therapy. "

"..." Facing Shinichi's suggestion, Ai fell into deep thought. She asked, "Is this really the only way to change?"

“There are other ways.”

"Eh? What method?"

"Tell him to open his mind." Shinichi spread his hands and replied: "Aiyi, for such a self-enclosed and self-bound person, even if you help her untie the rope again and again, she will tie herself up again and again.

At this time, the only way to truly save her is to let her give up her self-restraints. However, let me put it this way, it is impossible to make such a person think clearly about this and open her mind without giving her some shocking news that subverts her worldview.

This is basically about reshaping a person's personality. Language is powerful, but not everyone has the ability to talk big. Do you think you can do this through language?"

“…No.” Ai shook her head.

"So, just use physical methods honestly, send her to a Sanda class, a martial arts class or something like that, let her feel the pressure brought by training, feel the pain of being hit, and feel the release of punches.

She gets knocked down again and again, and continues to train despite fatigue. This kind of training is a kind of self-compulsion, a fight against her laziness and weakness. If she trains like this for ten days or half a month, I guarantee that this girl will change immediately."

Ai Yi suddenly realized that he was indeed her brother, and the solution he came up with was extraordinary...

"Oh, by the way, Ai..."

"Ok?"

"Would you like me to give you some practice when you have time?"

"Forehead……"

……

The next day, Sakurai High School...

"Yumiko-san..." After some thought, Ai finally plucked up the courage to come to Yumiko's side.

"Hmm? Ah... it's Takahashi-san... you're looking for me, what's going on?"

Yumiko still had that timid look on her face as she asked Aiyi. Aiyi looked into Yumiko's eyes and recalled what her brother had said yesterday...

"Yumiko-san... do you really want to continue like this?" Ai asked.

"Ah? What...will it keep going like this..." Yumiko felt a little embarrassed by the sudden question.

"When facing those who bully you, you are humble and servile. When you are bullied, you can only wipe your tears and pay money to get rid of the trouble. Then you passively wait for them to blackmail you next time, and dare not think about resisting. Do you really want to continue like this?"

"..." Yumiko couldn't help but lower her head and muttered, "Anyway...anyway, I can bear it, so there's no need to resist..."

Hearing Yumiko's spineless response, especially the sentence "I can bear it", Ai suddenly felt angry for some reason, and her palms felt itchy for some reason.

But she still restrained her urge to slap him. After all, a lady should talk instead of take action. She said, "It's so easy for you to say that, you bastard. You say you can bear it, but can you really bear it?!

That's obviously what your parents can afford! If your parents didn't give you living expenses, what can you afford! ? "

Yumiko didn't expect Ai to scold her like this. For a moment, her nose was tearing, her eyes were sore, and tears were starting to fall from the corners of her eyes.

She choked up and said, "I... I... I can't do anything... I'm alone and can't defy Yamada Kana and the others... I don't have the skills of Ai and Mihui, so I don't dare to resist them..."

When Ai Yi heard this, she immediately said, "So what you mean is that if you have my skills, you dare to resist them, right?"

"Eh... this... is... yes." Yumiko nodded unsurely.

"That's fine! It just so happens that Meihui's karate club is recruiting new members. Yumiko, I order you to come with me and fill out the membership agreement!"

After saying that, Aiyi immediately found Chiba Mihui, and after Mihui learned the whole story, she also stood in front of Yumiko and said, "Yumiko, I think Aiyi is right, you can't let Kana and her group bully you like this anymore, you have to learn to resist.

Come join our karate club, I won't be too harsh on you, I just want you to learn some self-defense techniques from me."

"I...I...okay..."

Yumiko burst into tears when faced with such an almost demanding invitation. However, as Shinichi said, this girl had only passively accepted things since she was a child and had no idea of ​​resistance. In response to the two people's strong invitation, Yumiko still chose to agree.

Finally, the karate club welcomed a new member.

After Mihui took Yumiko's filled-in form, she looked at Ai and said with some emotion: "Ai, you really impressed me... I always thought you were the kind of quiet and well-behaved girl.

I didn't expect that you have such a tough style deep down inside that you could force Yumiko to join the karate club. It doesn't match your cute face at all~"

As she spoke, Meihui pinched Ai's little face, and Ai scratched her head with a wry smile and said, "Well... I don't know what happened myself. When I heard Yumiko give up on herself, I suddenly felt very angry... This is the first time I got angry at someone like this... I think it might be because of my brother's influence."

"Your brother?"

"Well, my brother was the one who suggested that I let Yumiko join some fighting clubs to train her fighting spirit. He also said that for a character like Yumiko's, drastic measures must be taken..."

Meihui immediately became curious when she heard this: "Oh? Ai's brother has a Showa style~ Before, it was just Matsuko who was obsessed with him, but now that you introduced him to me, I'm curious too. Can you introduce us to each other when you have time?"

"Haha~ Let's talk about it later when we have time~"

Chapter 167 What are your tears?

"Harder! Harder! Harder! Raise your legs high! Kick out hard!" In the karate club, Mihui gave Yumiko stern orders like a devil coach.

Yumiko gritted her teeth, waved her limp arms with tears in her eyes, and kicked out weakly, without any effort and without any strength.

Ai was sitting around the gym, watching Mihui's training of Yumiko with Chizuru, Matsuko and others. Matsuko looked at Yumiko's unthreatening punches and kicks, and couldn't help but shook her head and sighed, "It's too forced no matter how you look at it...

Although learning karate for self-defense is good, it seems impossible for a girl like Yumiko to learn it..."

Ai shook her head and said, "Learning self-defense is actually secondary. What we really need is to let Yumiko practice. If she can really stick to it, even if she can't learn karate, she can plant the seeds of fighting and resisting in her heart."

Qianzuru nodded and said leisurely: "Is that so~ It's a bit like the way my elders train the younger ones~"

"Ah?" Matsuko turned her head curiously and looked at Chizuru, and asked, "Chizuru-chan, is there a thing where elders train younger ones in your family? What kind of training? Kung Fu or something?"

"Wow~ There is some difference~ But the difference is not that big. My father also ordered me to do stretching when I was a child~ In fact, it is more like aerobics for strengthening the body than kung fu~ It is inherited from my ancestors~ My great-grandfather practiced this set of aerobics, and he is over 90 years old~ and his body is still strong~"

"Oh... over ninety years old... so long-lived... I never even met my great-grandfather before he passed away." Matsuko couldn't help but sigh.

While everyone was chatting, Yumiko was practicing the back kick at Mihui's request, but due to her unfamiliarity with the technique and unstable center of gravity, she fell directly on her butt to the floor. Maybe she fell too hard, and Yumiko was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes and she began to sob.

When everyone saw this, they immediately stood up and went forward, but they had already arrived at Mihui's organization. She stopped everyone who wanted to help and walked up to Yumiko alone.

Yumiko seemed to have given up completely, crying and shouting, "I can't do it! Ugh... I can't punch or kick or resist Yamada Kana! Ugh...

I don't want to continue practicing, and you don't have to bother me anymore! I've already said that I don't need that little bit of protection money, I just need to continue paying the protection money like before, why should I suffer here, woo woo..."

As she said that, Yumiko stood up, touched her still sore skin and prepared to leave the karate club, but Mihui grabbed her training clothes and threw them back to her. Yumiko fell down again and somersaulted.

Then he raised his confused and aggrieved expression, pouted and stared at Meihui, as if asking why he was hindering her.

But Meihui remained unmoved, staring at Yumiko, pointing at her and questioning: "What's that expression on your face? What's that look in your eyes? What's that tear of yours!? I told you before that the only ones who can afford it are your parents! Without your parents' living expenses, you can't afford anything!

Your parents gave you pocket money in the hope that you could buy your favorite food and clothes, and that you could live happily with the money! But you chose to give the money with your parents' expectations to the people who bullied you!

Today you give it to your classmates who bully you, and in the future you will give it to your lover who deceives you. When you grow up, your parents will pass on the family business to you. Who will you give it to when you bully you?! ?

At that time, will you continue to use your tears to gain sympathy, show weakness and beg for forgiveness? Can your tears protect the family property that your parents worked so hard to build? "

"..." Meihui's powerful question made it difficult for Yumiko to refute. Facing her sharp eyes, Yumiko could only lower her head in fear and dared not speak.

Meihui snorted coldly, pulled Yumiko up, and ordered: "Yumiko! Keep going! Use your strength! Punch hard! Kick hard! Put away those meaningless tears! Ta-ta-ta!"

"Breathe...breathe..."

Faced with Mihui's order, Yumiko did not choose to give up or escape this time. She began to punch and kick seriously. However, this time her punches were no longer as weak as before.

Although it was not much better than before, everyone saw a hint of persistence and anger in Yumiko's eyes that they had never seen before...

Ai Yi saw all of this and knew that Yumiko had already begun to transform...

……

"Jingle Bell……"

I don’t know if it’s because of the change of environment, but Ai feels that her school days seem to be much shorter than when she was in Yuka Private School. She always laughs and plays with her friends, and the whole day goes by unknowingly.

"See you next Monday, Ai."

"Sayoulala..."

Ai Yi did not choose to leave with her friends because the teacher specifically asked her to stay after school. As a student, Ai Yi instinctively felt a little uneasy about the teacher's behavior of asking her to have a private talk after class.

But when she came to the office with a hint of worry, Ai Yi found that her worry seemed unnecessary, because the teacher asked her to stay alone not to criticize her, but to take out some study materials.

"Ai Yi, you are a good student. I can see how hard you study. However, your foundation is indeed a little weak. I heard that you always asked for leave when you were in other schools. So did that slow down your learning progress?"

"Yes... My health wasn't very good before, but I've gotten much better after the surgery recently."

"Hmm..." The teacher nodded without asking too many questions. Instead, he handed the study materials in his hand to Ai Yi and encouraged her: "Take good care of your body and don't fall behind in your studies. I'll give you this set of study materials. They are some basic knowledge I specially summarized. If you don't know anything, read it more. If you know something, just use it as a review. Come on, and try to get a good score in the college entrance examination."

Ai Yi took the study materials with surprise and bowed deeply to express her gratitude.

The teacher waved his hand and smiled, "Ah~ What are you thanking me for? I just don't want a good seedling to be buried. By the way, if you have any difficulties in learning, you can come to me directly."

"Uh... can I do it now?"

"Yeah... Of course~"

After some inquiry, when Ai Yi returned to the classroom, the entire teaching building was basically empty except for a few students who stayed inside.

After packing her schoolbag, Ai Yi walked down the teaching building and prepared to leave school. However, when she passed the path behind the teaching building, her keen senses in this quiet environment clearly heard bursts of commotion coming from the bushes not far away.

"Meow~"

"Eat, eat. If you have any friends who are lost like you, remember to bring them along too."

It seems to be Kitty and a female classmate? And...their voices sound so familiar...

Ai Yi curiously followed the source of the sound and turned into the bushes. She was surprised to see a very delicate-looking wooden cat house inside.

In front of the kitten's house, Yumiko was squatting on the ground, stroking the back of an orange cat with a smile, while the little orange cat was enjoying the caress while eating the cat food in the kitten's nest.

The sound of Ai entering the bushes caught Yumiko's attention. She turned her head to look at Ai in surprise, but when she realized who the person was, her surprise eased a little.

"Ah... it's Takahashi-san... um, hello..."

"Hello, Yumiko...did you make this?" Ai asked, pointing to the cat's nest in the bushes.

"No, no, no, I'm not that dexterous... I specially paid someone to customize this... hehehe..." Yumiko shook her head quickly, then scratched her head and laughed.

"Eh... Could it be that this is the reason why you were blackmailed by Kana and the others but were unwilling to pay?"

Yumiko nodded and admitted, "Oh... yes, the money I had on me at the time was just for the final payment..."

"That's it..."

Ai suddenly realized what was going on, and then she walked over to Yumiko and stopped, watching the kitten eat cat food with her.

"Can I touch it?"

"Yes, it is not afraid of strangers."

"Oh, I'll try..." Ai Yi curiously placed her palm on the little orange cat's back. It is said that bigger orange cats are heavier, but the little orange cat in front of her was not fat. In fact, from Ai Yi's touch, it was quite fat and she could clearly feel the little orange cat's spine and ribs.

However, although its body is a little thin, the little orange cat's fur is still quite soft. When you touch it, it is slippery and soft, but there is a hint of friction, which is extremely stress-relieving and makes Ai Yi quite addicted.

Yumiko smiled knowingly as she watched Ai petting the cat.

Ai looked at Yumiko, who was smiling brightly, and couldn't help but recall that it seemed to be the first time she saw Yumiko smiling so brightly in school. In other situations, Yumiko was always the silent and slightly inferior girl...

After a moment of silence, she said, "Um... Yumiko, I forced you to join the karate club... You're not angry with me, are you?"

"Ah? No~ How could that be? Although... what Takahashi and Chiba said was harsh, but... they were not wrong, right? I am indeed a person who can't even keep the pocket money given by my parents...

If I really want to be angry, I should probably be more angry at myself... I am too submissive, too weak to be bullied. Actually... I am also somewhat looking forward to it... Maybe, after joining the karate club, I can really change a little bit?"

Yumiko smiled knowingly, then looked at Ai and said with longing: "By then, maybe I can slap Yamada Kana a few times in a very handsome way like Takahashi-san? Hehe~"

"Of course you can. I can teach Yumiko-san a trick."

"What's the trick?"

"Don't be afraid, strike first!"
