Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

"Go for it! The honor of our fan club rests on your shoulders!"

"We must win! For Chizuru-chan!"

The two people shouted themselves hoarse in front of him, while members of several surrounding gangs looked at them as if they were idiots.

Shimada Sho looked at them expressionlessly. "Can't you guys be normal for once?"

"No!" Kenta Takada declared righteously, "This is the first time our Chizuru-chan fan club has appeared in front of the whole school, we have to show our strength!"

"Exactly!" Yosuke Murakami nodded frantically. "Shimada-kun, you don't know, we specially ordered new light sticks for today, and even rehearsed our cheering slogans!"

"...Whatever you want."

Shimada Sho didn't bother with it anymore.

His gaze unconsciously drifted back to the stands.

In the first row, Yukine Kamishiro seemed like a fairy who lived apart from the world.

When the butler Kira beside her occasionally spoke, she would nod gently.

While dealing with the housekeeper, he kept his eyes down.

Shimada Sho followed her gaze and found that she was looking at the archery club's display area.

Several girls were packing up their bows and arrows. One of them, a girl with a ponytail, seemed to notice the young lady's gaze and, in her nervousness, missed the target with her arrow.

"It seems like Sho-kun cares a lot about Yukine."

Yuki Ayase returned with a towel, and her soft voice rang in my ears once again.

"No," Shimada Sho denied outright.

Yuki Ayase's lips twitched slightly, as if she had something to say.

But eventually her gaze shifted to the other side.

"Go on, Xiang-jun, it's our turn."

She was looking at the arena in the distance as she spoke.

The matches between the Kendo Club members have ended.

The person standing there became Kobayashi Takeshi.

He was whispering something to the physical education teacher who was in charge of the refereeing.

A moment later, the teacher's gaze fell upon the activity area of ​​the Human Observation Club.

Upon seeing this, Shimada Sho stepped forward.

At the same time, the teacher on the stage announced the upcoming matches.

Members of the Literature Study and Human Observation Club exchanged ideas with the Karate Club.

After he finished speaking, the students watching below the stage began to discuss it.

"Literary Observation Society? What the hell is that?"

"I've never heard of this club before."

"It's bullying for the karate club to fight a club that sounds weak just from its name."

When such discussions reached Kobayashi Tsuyoshi on stage, he calmly ignored them.

Kobayashi Tsuyoshi stared at Shimada Sho in the distance with a cold smile.

Occasionally glancing at Miss Kiryu on the podium, she couldn't suppress the urge to try her luck.

“Sho-kun.” In the preparation area, Ayase Yuki stood in front of Shimada Sho and reached out to straighten the collar of his tracksuit. “Don’t be nervous, just do it at your own pace.”

Her fingers inadvertently touched Shimada Sho's neck.

"I can do it myself." Shimada Sho awkwardly stepped back to avoid it.

He felt that there was always a gaze on the podium watching him.

"Go ahead." Yuki Ayase smiled slightly and did not insist.

"Shimada-kun! Go for it! Shimada-kun! You'll win!"

As Shimada Sho stepped onto the stage, a unified cheer erupted from below.

The enthusiastic atmosphere inspired the other students to join in the commotion.

The commotion immediately attracted the attention of students in the surrounding area.

At this moment, Shimada Sho was already standing on the ring.

He and Kobayashi had just stopped facing each other.

There was a distance of less than three meters between them.

"It's not too late to admit defeat now." Kobayashi stretched out his arms, shook his head and loosened his body, and said coldly, "So as not to embarrass yourself later."

Seeing his expression, Shimada Sho really lost interest in exchanging barbs.

"Competition rules: Best of three, each round has a time limit of three minutes, attacks on vital organs are prohibited, weapons are not allowed, the game ends when one player falls to the ground or concedes defeat."

The judge's voice interrupted Kobayashi's rant.

After quickly announcing the rules, he looked at the two of them and asked, "Did you both understand?"

"Understood," Kobayashi replied eagerly.

Shimada Shoya nodded.

"Then—begin!"

Chapter 149 Karate Club

No sooner had the referee finished speaking than Kobayashi charged forward.

He showed no mercy, throwing a straight punch straight at Shimada Sho's face.

The punches were fierce and fast.

But in Shimada Sho's eyes, the speed was as slow as if it were on 0.5x speed.

He casually turned his head to avoid the punch, then swiftly raised his hand and slammed it into the other person's shoulder.

boom!

With a muffled thud, Xiaolin was knocked back several steps.

"That's too much."

Shimada Sho suddenly realized that his previous worries were completely unnecessary.

After his physical abilities and reactions both improved, he had no opportunity to fight anyone.

Only after trying it out did I realize how terrifying the growth was.

With his current strength, facing an opponent like Kobayashi Takeshi, he wouldn't even be able to show his skills, let alone reveal them. The opponent wouldn't even give him the right to demonstrate his abilities.

Even with just a few wild punches, he could beat Kobayashi so badly he'd be left with nothing.

"Shimada-kun! Well done!"

Below the stage, Yosuke Murakami held up the pendant and shook it wildly.

"What a powerful punch!"

"Isn't Kobayashi the vice president of the karate club? How come he's so weak?"

"It's not that he's weak, it's that this guy is too strong!"

Fierce battles are always what boys love to watch the most.

Naturally, this has sparked much discussion.

Having just suffered a setback, Xiaolin's face darkened instantly upon hearing these sounds.

Looking at Shimada Sho, who appeared perfectly normal, and recalling what he had just said, she assumed he was being provoked.

Enraged, he kicked forward without saying a word.

This high kick was powerful and heavy.

The students watching were all wide-eyed.

I felt like Shimada Sho was about to get his head blown off any second.

But in response, Shimada Sho kicked out even faster.

With his quick reflexes, Shimada Sho's leg lifted up almost simultaneously with his.

Even though it was slower, it still struck first, landing with perfect precision on Kobayashi's high whip kick thigh.

It didn't take much effort to make him lose his balance.

Kobayashi's attack was neutralized, but he was thrown face-first into the mud by the momentum.

This sheer dominance left the students in awe.

"So cool!"

"This guy is amazing!"

"Is this all the karate club is capable of?"

"Go, Kobayashi-senpai! Take this guy down!"

Various voices rang out from below the ring.

Kobayashi's face on stage grew increasingly grim.

He got up again, completely losing patience for talking, and launched an even fiercer attack on Shimada Sho.

Straight punches, hooks, whip kicks, side kicks—one strike after another, relentlessly.

Despite the seemingly fierce attack, Shimada Sho stood still, without even moving an inch.

He deftly sidestepped, tilted his head, and raised his hand, deflecting all the attacks.

Finally, with a half-smile, he asked, "Is this all you've got?"

Kobayashi's eyes reddened.

He intensified his efforts, launching a frenzied attack.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't even touch the hem of Shimada Sho's clothes.

"That boy... is so strong."

"Kobayashi couldn't even break him?"

"Isn't he from the Literary Observation Society? How come he's so good at fighting?"

In the distance, Yuki Ayase clutched her chest.

His beautiful eyes reflected Shimada Sho's fighting figure, and his lips were full of a gentle smile.

"Xiang Jun..."

From the stands, the school leaders noticed the battle taking place.

The butler, Kira, glanced over and wanted to remind the young lady that something interesting was happening over there.

When he turned around, he found that the young lady had been watching over there all along.

And his gaze was unusually serious, fixed on the battle on the field, his eyes never blinking.

That alone isn't a big deal.

Kira looked down and saw that she was gripping the fabric of her skirt tightly, as if she was very nervous.

Kira was somewhat puzzled. When did the young lady become interested in this kind of battle?

However, he didn't think much of it and quickly turned his attention back to the ring.

"This young student is quite strong."

……

"boom!"

On the ring, Shimada Sho casually threw a punch.
