Minister Ozora didn't even bother to say anything more. His gaze lingered on Shun Izaki for less than a second, as if he were looking at an eyesore on the roadside, or a buzzing but harmless fly.

He then turned around on his own, continued to walk steadily down the overpass, and his figure quickly disappeared into the shadows of the street below.

That look in his eyes.

That look in his eyes, as if he were looking at trash, small fish, or ants who didn't even deserve to be called opponents!

Like a red-hot branding iron, it was fiercely burned into the depths of Shun Izaki's soul!

Izaki Shun's forehead veins bulged, his fists clenched tightly, and a violent impulse instantly swept over him: rush up, rush up regardless of everything, even if it means biting with his teeth, he would leave a mark on that indifferent face, and make him remember his name with his fists!

However, the chill of reason instantly extinguished this boiling anger.

Charge forward?

2.3

and then?

He looked down at his still-healing wounds and recalled the chilling feeling he had just experienced when they brushed past each other.

Even if he were at his peak, let alone now that he's injured, charging in would only result in one thing: being taken down and humiliating himself.

The humiliation brought by this realization is a hundred times more painful than physical injury!

"Whoo~~~"

Shun Izaki took a deep breath, trying to calm the anger and humiliation that were tearing his chest apart.

When he finally managed to break free from the intense emotional storm and looked up again in the direction where Minister Osora had disappeared, the place was already deserted, with only the twilight and the cold lights of the city remaining.

It was as if that brief but humiliating experience had never happened.

Shun Izaki stood there blankly, the wind on the overpass blowing his disheveled hair across his forehead, bringing a slight chill, but it couldn't dispel the coldness and heaviness in his heart.

He looked at his tightly clenched fist, which trembled slightly from excessive force, and recalled Yuji Tokaji's calm analysis and Ryuji Kurosaki's strength.

Then, with tremendous force, he stubbed out his already extinguished cigarette butt on the cold metal railing, extinguishing the embers completely.

In my heart, a heavy yet clear decision was made, like a boulder falling to the ground, and the dust settling down.

Chapter 188 Declaring War on the Entire Lily of the Valley

The classroom of Class 1B, Southwest Branch School of Lily of the Valley, was filled with smoke.

Ryuji Kurosaki leaned back on the desk by the window, his legs casually propped up on another chair, a cigarette between his fingers burning slowly, wisps of smoke curling upwards.

He squinted, gazing out the window, as if deep in thought, or perhaps simply lost in thought.

However, the atmosphere inside the classroom of Class 1B at this moment was completely different from usual.

Nakai had injuries on his face, but his eyes were unusually bright. He was sitting in a chair next to Kurosaki Ryuji, whispering something to Makise Takashi beside him.

Takashi Makise changed back into his familiar Suzuran uniform. His face still bore the bruises from being beaten up by Ryuji Kurosaki yesterday, but his expression was no longer confused and silly. Instead, he looked more composed and focused, nodding occasionally as he listened to Nakai's words.

The brothers, Gou Mikami and Kousho Mikami, sat casually at the desks in the front row, joking and teasing each other, but their eyes would occasionally glance at Ryuji Kurosaki by the window, filled with undisguised awe and excitement.

Tadashi Tamura was scribbling in a small notebook, but it was unclear what he was writing.

Yuji Tokaji leaned against the door frame, slowly exhaling smoke rings.

In this small corner, almost all the well-known figures from the first grade have gathered.

Just then, the classroom door was gently pushed open.

Shun Izaki appeared at the door. He was still wearing his crisp uniform, his hair was neatly styled, but his face showed a hint of weariness and determination that was hard to detect.

When he saw the scene inside the classroom, he paused slightly, especially after seeing Makise Takashi and Nakai, his pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.

Yuji Tokaji was the first to notice him. He adjusted his glasses and gave a knowing smile: "Oh? Izaki, it seems... you've finally made your choice?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the quiet classroom.

All eyes immediately focused on Shun Izaki standing at the door.

Nakai's eyes held a hint of inquiry and expectation, while Makise Takashi was somewhat surprised. The Mikami brothers stopped their playful fighting, and Tamura Chuta also put down his pen.

Shun Izaki took a deep breath, suppressing the last trace of complex emotions in his heart.

He strode into the classroom, ignoring the curious or surprised looks he received, and walked straight toward Ryuji Kurosaki, stopping a few steps away.

He raised his head, his gaze sweeping over Nakai, Makise Takashi, the Mikami brothers, Tamura Chuta, and finally landing on Tokaji Yuuji's face, where he nodded.

Then, his gaze shifted to Ryuji Kurosaki.

Shun Izaki lowered his head slightly, his voice clear and steady, carrying a calm that seemed to have settled down:

"Boss, please guide me in the future!"

This statement was tantamount to announcing his submission.

There were no impassioned vows, no emotional pledges of loyalty.

But everyone understood that this meant the last strong individual with independent power and ambition in the first year of the Southwest Branch School had officially joined Kurosaki Ryuji's ranks.

Yuji Toji's smile deepened, Nakai breathed a sigh of relief, Takashi Makise grinned, and the Mikami brothers whistled excitedly.

The humiliation of being ignored by Minister Ozora still burned in Shun Izaki's heart, but at this moment, it transformed into a stronger driving force.

He knew perfectly well that if he didn't stand here and bow his head to this man, he wouldn't even have the right to stand in front of those monsters at the Suzuran Main Campus.

With the addition of Shun Izaki, the first year of the Southwest Branch School was completely unified.

All the power was gathered under the banner of Ryuji Kurosaki.

At that moment, a pop-up window appeared in front of Ryuji Kurosaki.

Ryuji Kurosaki could sense that he had indeed become a little stronger.

The reward for completing this task was merely an appetizer.

Based on past experience, the rewards for these consecutive missions tend to be richer towards the end.

As Ryuji Kurosaki checked his attribute panel, the atmosphere in the classroom became lively.

"Great! The first grade is all here!"

Mikami Gou excitedly slammed his hand on the table.

"Next up are the seniors from the second and third years!"

They were eager to go to school for the third time.

"That's right! Boss!"

Tadashi Tamura's eyes gleamed: "Besides a few scattered small groups, the biggest obstacle for the second-year students is the 'Kagi faction.' As for the third-year students, there are many factions, but they are all fighting their own battles and are just a disorganized mess."

"I suggest we start with the second-year students, taking them down one group at a time, clearing away obstacles as quickly as possible until they submit. After all, apart from Yoshiki Genjiro, the rest are just a rabble!"

Nakai also spoke up: "I have some good friends from my second and third year classmates, like Sato and Nakajima. They are all quite strong. I can try to persuade them to join us, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary conflicts."

"Yes, yes, yes! With Brother Nakai on the case, it'll definitely work!" the Mikami brothers chimed in.

The group chatted amongst themselves, discussing how to conquer the upperclassmen and devising seemingly feasible plans. The air was thick with a restless energy and ambition, as if they were about to embark on a major undertaking.

However, just as the discussion was getting more and more heated.

"Too much trouble."

A cold, flat voice rang out, instantly silencing all other voices like a heavy hammer blow.

It's Ryuji Kurosaki.

He had stubbed out his cigarette at some point and slowly straightened up from the desk by the window.

His tall figure cast a long shadow in the sunlight, enveloping the crowd who had just been engaged in a heated discussion.

There was not a ripple in his dark eyes.

The crowd fell silent instantly, all eyes fixed on him, filled with doubt and anticipation.

Without looking at anyone, Kurosaki Ryuji strode through the crowd and headed for the classroom door.

"Boss?"

Yuji Tokaji couldn't help but speak up.

Ryuji Kurosaki didn't stop walking, simply tossing out a curt "Stay put."

His figure disappeared at the classroom door, leaving the students in Group B looking at each other in confusion.

"Boss, what are you going to do?"

I scratch my head when I go to school.

"have no idea..."

Zhongjing also looked confused.

......

Lily of the Valley Southwest Branch School, Broadcasting Room

The door to the broadcasting room was violently pushed open, and the skinny student inside, who was in charge of managing the broadcasting equipment, was so frightened that he almost jumped off his chair.

When he saw the tall figure emanating a cold aura at the door, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he couldn't utter a word.

Ryuji Kurosaki ignored him and walked straight to the broadcast control console.

He glanced at the complicated buttons and microphone, and without any hesitation, pressed the conspicuous red button that connected to the school's broadcast system.

A piercing buzzing sound of electricity instantly rang out through the loudspeakers scattered throughout the campus, like a strange alarm, tearing apart the afternoon tranquility.

All the students in the classrooms, corridors, playgrounds, and rooftops, whether they were dozing off, laughing and playing, or arguing, were startled by the sudden noise and stopped what they were doing. They looked up blankly, searching for the source of the sound.

Immediately afterwards, Ryuji Kurosaki's voice was clearly broadcast throughout every corner of the Southwest Branch School!

"Lily of the Valley Southwest Branch, everyone listen up."

The voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to contain immense power, making it hard to breathe.

"I am Ryuji Kurosaki, and I believe you know who I am."

The name Ryuji Kurosaki was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a storm in the hearts of countless students.

Yesterday's tragic scene in Group B's classroom, the rumors of the abandoned open space in the afternoon, and the news of the collective surrender of the core figures of the first grade have already been circulating wildly in private.

The name itself represents great power.

"tomorrow morning."

"I'll start from the main gate of Lily of the Valley, alone..."
