The next second, something unexpected happened.

"Haha...hahahaha~~~"

Wu Jiujiang laughed loudly, seemingly happier than anyone else: "This is more interesting! If he really has the ability, then he should take the position of Fengxian Banchang!"

......

Meanwhile, in a relatively quiet corner behind the Fengxian teaching building.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows that fell upon the four people—Ryuji Kurosaki, Jun Kamata, Toshiyuki Saejima, and Yuji Oguchi—who were enjoying the cool shade. The shadows swayed and danced in the breeze as the treetops rustled.

Kumakiri Rikiya, Shibayama Hayato, and the bald guys from Groups D and C have all gone to the infirmary for treatment, so they are not here.

"Brother Kurosaki, what do we do now? We don't know where he's gone."

Jun Kamata, squatting on the ground, exhaled smoke as he glanced at the unusually quiet Housen.

After dealing with Groups D and C and sending the people to the infirmary.

Ryuji Kurosaki then led Jun Kamata, Toshiyuki Saejima, and Yuji Oguchi to Group B without stopping.

After all, the physical exertion was not very great.

If possible, I'll take down the entire first grade in one go today.

After searching around, I couldn't find the fighting spirit of Group B, nor could I find Narumi Taiga of Group A.

"Could it be that Tomoyuki Matoba and Taiga Narumi have already gotten wind of this and gone into hiding, or are they plotting something wicked?"

Saejima Toshiyuki, who was standing next to him, chimed in with his own speculation.

Ryuji Kurosaki, leaning against a tree, adjusted his glasses and was about to speak.

Then they saw a figure appear at the end of the path ahead.

Wearing Housen's uniform and sporting long black hair, it was none other than Narumi Taiga.

Jun Kamata, Toshiyuki Saejima, and Yuji Oguchi instantly became alert, their eyes sharpening.

He quickly scanned his surroundings again.

With no one else around, their gaze returned to Narumi Taiga.

Ryuji Kurosaki raised his hand, indicating that everyone should not be nervous.

Then, alone, he walked forward and stopped a few steps away from Narumi Taiga.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and an invisible aura collided.

"It seems... I don't need to look for it anymore."

Ryuji Kurosaki spoke calmly.

"I heard you've already taken down Xiongqie and Shibayama?"

Narumi Taiga looked at Kurosaki Ryuji, his eyes as calm as the deep sea, without any ripples.

"So, what about you? Do you want to fight me, or just surrender?"

Ryuji Kurosaki countered with a similarly calm question.

It seemed like they were just having a normal chat.

There wasn't a hint of hostility in their tone of voice.

"I can't bring myself to surrender."

"So? You want to fight me?"

"That's right!"

Narumi Taiga's voice was deep and clear, and without any further pleasantries, he directly challenged him: "Three days from now at 5 pm, in that abandoned little park to the east, how about a fight? Or should I give you more time to prepare?"

Ryuji Kurosaki's eyes flickered slightly behind his glasses as he sensed the pure, unadulterated fighting spirit in Taiga Narumi's words.

"Oh?"

Ryuji Kurosaki's lips curled into an interested smile: "A one-on-one duel?"

"That's right! Since you want to fight me anyway, let's just go for it."

Narumi Taiga answered decisively.

(Zhao) "How about... we do it now?"

Ryuji Kurosaki suggested.

"You just finished dealing with Shibayama and Kumagiri, so let you rest for a few days to recover your strength, lest you feel that my victory was unfair if we lose!"

Narumi Taiga smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, Narumi...you can't win!"

Ryuji Kurosaki's lips also curled up slightly.

"Whether we can win or not, we'll only know after we fight. Or are you afraid of Dong?"

Narumi Taiga stared defiantly at Kurosaki Ryuji.

A few seconds later, Ryuji Kurosaki thought for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, since you've said so, then three days from now, at the East Park, I'll be waiting for you!"

Three days.

He is still patient and waiting.

No further words were needed between the two parties; the agreement was made.

Narumi Taiga gave Kurosaki Ryuji a deep look, as if he wanted to imprint this powerful opponent in his heart.

Then, without saying another word, he turned around and, with steady steps, disappeared alone into the Phoenix Fairy.

The sunlight cast a long shadow of him, conveying a sense of resolute determination.

Ryuji Kurosaki stood there, looking in the direction where Taiga Narumi had disappeared. He adjusted his glasses, a faint smile still playing on his lips, and muttered to himself, "An interesting guy!"

Chapter Ninety: One-on-One Battle with Narumi Taiga

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The lazy afternoon sun shone on the slightly old streets.

Ryuji Kurosaki pushed open the apartment door, phone in hand, and walked unhurriedly toward the agreed-upon park.

He has now moved to the vicinity of Fengxian, which is also very close to the park.

I was too lazy to ride my motorcycle, so I just walked there.

The phone call that connected was from Saeko Busujima.

"Don't worry, Saeko... It's fine. I can handle that guy easily."

Saeko Busujima was somewhat worried when she learned that Ryuji Kurosaki was going to have a showdown with Taigo Narumi today.

While telling Saeko Busujima not to worry about him, Ryuji Kurosaki took out his cigarette case, skillfully shook out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth.

Then I lit a brand new lighter.

The lighter was a gift that Saeko Busujima and Ruka Sarashina bought together during their last shopping trip as a present for Ryuji Kurosaki.

After putting the lighter back into his pocket.

Ryuji Kurosaki continued walking towards the park, puffing out smoke as he chatted with Saeko Busujima.

There was no trace of tension about the impending battle on his face.

However, just as Ryuji Kurosaki was passing through an intersection...

Three delinquents dressed in lily of the valley uniforms were in the distance.

One of the guys, with plasters on his face and a bandage around his neck on his left arm, suddenly stopped and squinted as he looked in Kurosaki Ryuji's direction.

"That guy... he's the white-haired one from last time!"

The delinquent with the missing hand, Lily of the Valley, shouted excitedly to his two companions beside him.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? We haven't found him in all these days!"

Another delinquent asked, puzzled.

"There's no way I could mistake him. Even if I were reduced to ashes, I'd still recognize him... He's the one who slapped my head so hard it turned into a pig's head, knocked out several teeth, and now I can't even speak properly, and I spit water when I drink soup..."

The delinquent with the severed hand, Lily of the Valley, stared wide-eyed, her gaze filled with hatred, yet also tinged with an inescapable fear.

"If it really is him, I'll go and inform Brother Jingsheng!"

"Then I'll follow him and see where that guy is going."

"Okay, we'll keep in touch."

The three Lily of the Valley delinquents were quickly assigned roles: those who wanted to help others helped others, and those who wanted to follow others followed others.

.......

The abandoned park to the east of Fengxian looked particularly desolate in the afternoon sun.

Weeds grew rampant, a rusty swing set creaked in the breeze, and several broken cement pipes were piled up haphazardly, like the forgotten skeleton of a giant.

The air was filled with the scent of dust and wild grass.

The appointed time has arrived.

Two figures stood facing each other on a relatively flat open space in the middle of the park.

Ryuji Kurosaki's gaze was calm and unwavering, as if he were simply doing something ordinary.

He casually exhaled smoke, his posture relaxed, but his tall figure exuded a sense of oppression at all times.

Narumi Taiga stood opposite him, wearing a crisp Housen uniform, his long black hair fluttering slightly in the wind.

His expression was solemn, his eyes like the deep sea, beneath which turbulent undercurrents and an intensely focused fighting spirit lay.

At the edge of the park, on those tall concrete pipes and at the top of the abandoned slide, several figures had already quietly gathered.

Jun Kamata stood with his arms crossed, leaning against a cement pipe, his cold gaze like that of a hawk, fixed on the two people in the room.

Saejima Toshiyuki sat casually on another pipe, his thick arms resting on his knees, looking expectantly at the two people in the arena.

Yuji Ooguchi stood a little closer, the bruises on his face not yet completely faded, but his eyes were burning with the same attention to the contest.

Besides them, Kumakiri Rikiya and Shibayama Hayato were also present.

Kumakiri Rikiya and Shibayama Hayato were not fully recovered from their injuries, and their faces were covered with plasters.

But both Kumakiri Rikiya and Shibayama Hayato stood ramrod straight, their eyes revealing the same anticipation.

Seeing the fighting spirit not far away, he finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and extreme concern for the situation, and ran over to check on the battle.

He wanted to see with his own eyes how the battle between Narumi Taiga and Kurosaki Ryuji would ultimately turn out.

Besides them, many other bald men from Fengxian also appeared nearby to watch the spectacle.

At this time.

Narumi Taiga's gaze shot towards Kurosaki Ryuji like lightning.

"let's start."

Narumi Taiga's deep and clear voice broke the silence first.

Before he finished speaking, he had already moved.

There was no probing!

No feints!

Narumi Taiga shot forward like an arrow, instantly closing the distance between them.

His movements were swift, precise, and fluid, carrying a sense of honed combat experience.

In the instant he drew near, a swift, lightning-fast jab, like a viper's tongue, aimed straight for Kurosaki Ryuji's face.

With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Ryuji Kurosaki remained motionless, turning his head to dodge.

The fist passed right past his ear, doing nothing but scattering the wisps of white smoke rising from the cigarette butt.

There was no disappointment in Narumi Taiga's eyes, as if it were all within his expectations.
