I'm in a real religion, why are all the people who confess to me girls?

Once Kito, Class A's trump card, is thoroughly studied by other classes, they will develop strategies to counter him. This would make it difficult to play Kito easily in the future, which is not the outcome that Sakayanagi wants to see.

Upon hearing that the competition was judo, Albert actually struck a judo pose, a sight that surprised Ibuki.

Albert also studied judo?

"No way, Ryuen? Albert even studied judo?"

Faced with Ibuki's surprised question, Ryuen let out a sneer.

"Why don't you guess whether Albert or not?"

Having some knowledge of Albert, Ibuki thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"Albert's posture is a bit intimidating, but I don't think he knows judo."

Longyuan neither got this answer right nor wrong.

His sharp, hawk-like eyes were fixed on Ghost Head. His intuition told him that Ghost Head might really have a way to deal with Albert.

"Game start!"

The referee quickly waved his flag, announcing the official start of the match.

Seemingly afraid of frightening the ghost, Albert neither shouted nor took the initiative to attack, but slowly approached the ghost step by step at an extremely slow pace.

But Kito seemed to have seen something terrifying, and turned around and ran out of the arena again.

Albert stared in astonishment at his hands.

He didn't know what he had done wrong this time; all he knew was that he had been tricked by the guy in front of him again.

Abbott spoke in a low voice that Tianyin couldn't hear clearly. Judging from his lip movements, it sounded like he was cursing, but the voice was too soft to make out clearly.

"Kito-kun leaves the court; the winner is Yamada-kun. Since Kito-kun has lost twice in a row, he can choose to concede or continue playing the last game."

The referee looked at Kito with some suspicion. Would Kito, who had deserted in the last two rounds, show his true strength in the final round and prove the true strength of Class A in the first year?

The answer is no.

"That guy is too strong, I choose to admit defeat."

Ghost Head readily admitted defeat, and immediately countless boos rang out from both sides of the field.

Every grade has classes striving to become Class A. These students, seeing Kito, who is in Class A but doesn't appreciate it, couldn't help but criticize Kito's behavior.

The members of Class A also expressed their dissatisfaction, feeling that Kito was tarnishing the honor of Class A's ranking.

This even made me realize that first grade was nothing special.

Faced with the overwhelming humiliation and boos, even Gui Tou, who was mentally prepared, turned pale.

"Hey! You idiot, what use are you if all you do is surrender?"

"The sudden cowardice of Class A in the first year made me wonder if they had some way to turn things around. Is all they've got is to keep surrendering? Ha, I guess you can't have too high expectations for these newcomers."

"Get out of Class A right now! Don't embarrass Class A!"

……

Horikita also sighed deeply.

"I'm not saying this to be mean... Sakayanagi-san, you absolutely didn't need to subject Kito-san to such unwarranted accusations just to save face. Even if you have a strategy, it shouldn't start in such a shameful way. If you can't secure the final victory, do you know that the boos you're hearing today will follow Kito-san until graduation? That would be such a cruel thing."

Horikita's words this time weren't sarcastic; he simply felt that Sakayanagi's strategy was flawed, and that surrendering could indeed avoid battle and allow them to quickly approach Ryuen.

But surrendering all the time will not solve the problem.

Ryuen could easily achieve a ten-game winning streak with any D-class player, but they remained inactive. Even Horikita realized that the opponent was fishing, and Koenji and Ayanokoji, who were playing off the field, stopped.

Nobody wants to go up there and become bait.

Sakayanagi, however, sent Kito to take the risk.

To risk his reputation by launching a match against Ryuen with an uncertain outcome is far too risky. If he loses, Kito's future school life will definitely not be easy.

"Are you lecturing me? Then I suggest you watch until the end. This is all part of my plan, and you've misunderstood something... When did I say I was sending Kito to defeat Ryuen?"

Chapter 448: A Stunning Strike

Horikita was taken aback when she heard Sakayanagi's question.

Thinking back carefully, it seems that Sakayanagi did not actually let Kito defeat Ryuen; at the time, he said he would let Kito teach them a lesson.

But... what exactly constitutes a lesson?

At the very least, they should defeat a few people from Class C or Class D, right? There are only four people in Class C: Shiina, Ibuki, Ryuen, and Albert.

Instead of attacking Ryuen, and admitting defeat in front of Albert, does Sakayanagi intend to let Kito deal with the other two girls?

Horikita's face showed disgust. If it were Kito challenging Ibuki or Shiina, he would indeed be able to win.

But winning would be even more humiliating, and it could be said that the victory would be dishonorable. People's impression of Kito would probably only get worse.

If this is indeed Sakayanagi's strategy, then there's no need to wait and see what happens next...

Amidst the boos, Gui Tou took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to adjust his mindset.

After confirming that he would no longer be greatly affected by external factors, Kito swaggered towards Shibata.

"I challenge you. Let's begin."

Kito shifted his target and began challenging Shibata, which puzzled both Ryuen and Shibata. Now that no one was blocking Ryuen's way, why didn't he just walk over there to defeat Ryuen? Why did he come to him and cause trouble?

"My matches are going to be very physically demanding!"

Shibata no longer wanted to compete, so he tried to persuade Kito, this seemingly stubborn guy, to quit.

"Whatever, bring it on!"

Shibata was enraged by Kito's arrogant attitude, which was completely different from his attitude during the Albert race, so he picked up a sign that read "Frog Jump One Kilometer" and sneered at Kito.

"Since Gui Tou is so enthusiastic, I guess I'll just have to play along. Let's go to the competition venue and have the match."

After finishing his speech, Shibata walked smoothly toward the competition venue in the distance, and the coach beside him put away the flag and followed.

However, after taking a couple of steps, they realized that Kito was standing still and had no intention of following them at all, which left Shibata dumbfounded.

He couldn't figure out what tricks Gui Tou was up to.

I'm too lazy to go.

Gui Tou's words silenced the entire room.

"Kitou-kun, are you serious? This isn't a race track. If you don't go, you'll be disqualified..."

The moment the referee uttered those familiar words, he immediately guessed Kito's choice.

"Then declare me the loser, and let's start the second round right away."

"Alright... Since Kito refused to participate, the winner of the first round of the one-kilometer frog jump is Shibata."

The referee, with an extremely distressed expression, loudly announced the result.

In all his years as a referee, this was the first time he had ever seen a player who would admit defeat as soon as a match started and was still keen on challenging others. If he hadn't heard from others that this guy called Ghost Head was the best fighter in Class A, he would have suspected that he was deliberately giving points to other classes.

Horikita glanced at Sakayanagi and saw that Sakayanagi was still smiling. She was about to speak, but this time she chose to hold back and turned her attention back to the competition field.

If it were just one or two surrenders, it might be to end the match quickly or to avoid Kito getting hurt unnecessarily. But this time, Kito took the initiative to challenge Shibata, and then surrendered a round right away. It all seems rather unusual.

"Is the real show finally about to begin? Let me see your strength, Oni-kun."

Tianyin casually tossed the fruit pit into a distant trash can, and without even glancing at it, she actually managed to drop it in with perfect accuracy.

An expectant look began to appear on his face.

Meanwhile, Koenji was quietly approaching Ryuen. However, whatever Kito's strategy was, he would launch a sneak attack on Ryuen whenever he had the chance. Once Ryuen's winning streak ended, the grand prize would not be far away from him.

"I don't quite understand what you're trying to do. Are you trying to switch to a competition you're familiar with as soon as possible? Bring it on!"

Shibata was puzzled by Kito's behavior, but stared at Kito even more intently.

After all, he believed that Ghost Head wouldn't come over just to give him points for no reason; it was very likely that Ghost Head had some kind of killer move in his match.

Victory is inevitable... Hmph, the outcome is still uncertain.

Shibata revealed a confident smile; this time, he wouldn't lose so easily.

"Don't worry, you'll be crying for your mommy soon enough."

After saying that, Gui Tou immediately held up a nameplate.

That was a competition that had never happened before in the history of Gaoyu School.

"Thai boxing".

Upon seeing Muay Thai, Shibata realized something was amiss. He quickly looked at the competition area and planned to spar with Kito first. If Kito was truly a master, he would follow Kito's example and concede. After all, his class wouldn't lose any points if he lost the match, but he would trick Kito into giving him a competition badge, which Shibata considered quite a profit.

After both sides stood still, the referee came between them, raised the red and blue flags representing the two sides, and then swung them down forcefully.

"The match begins."

"Pfft!!! Ah..."

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Kito clenched his fist and brought it to his waist, then swiftly and with a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, punched Shibata in the abdomen.

There were no exaggerated movements, nor any preemptive roars. To outsiders, it simply seemed that Kito had acted a little faster and hit Shibata first.

Tianyin, standing to the side, simply shook her head.

"Hey! Referee, hurry and call Hoshinomiya-sensei, Shibata can't hold on any longer!"

Tianyin couldn't help but loudly remind the referee.

The referee hesitated for a moment, but still went up to ask Shibata about his condition.

After all, Shibata was still standing, so it would be inappropriate to declare him the loser outright.

"Shibata-kun, can you still hold on?"

Shibata struggled to raise his head, as if to say something, but suddenly covered his mouth, bent over quickly, and then let out a loud "whoosh," a foul, sour smell spreading across the area.

Seeing this, Gui Tou took a few steps back in disgust, afraid that the vomit would splash on him.

Amane rushed over and helped Shibata up while immediately checking his pupils.

The fact that Shibata's pupils haven't dilated yet means he's still conscious.

"Quickly find some medical staff! Didn't you see that Shibata is vomiting bile? Do you know what the consequences would be if his internal organs ruptured?"

Tianyin's question immediately drew gasps of surprise from those around her.

"Internal organ rupture? Shibata-kun, are you alright?"

Ichinose belatedly ran up to check on Shibata's injuries, but being inexperienced, she couldn't tell what had happened to him.

The referee wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly went to find Mr. Hoshinomiya and the rescue team to carry the person away.

Seeing that Shibata's legs were already weak, Amane left Shibata to be cared for by Ichinose and the onlookers, while she herself went to Kito's side.

Tianyin narrowed her eyes as she looked at Gui Tou's clean black gloves.

"If I remember correctly, that move just now should have been a beautiful knee strike. Why did you think of using a punch?"

Chapter 449: Ichinose Challenges Kito

"Oh? I didn't expect you to recognize me."

Gui Tou looked at Tian Yin with some surprise. There were countless similar fighting techniques in the world, especially techniques that attacked the abdomen. He had even changed to using his fists, making it even more difficult to discern which school or sect his moves came from.

Unexpectedly, Tianyin saw through his modified move at a glance. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to be very familiar with the move, which made Guitou feel a little confused and puzzled. Would any normal girl really like the barbaric fighting style of Muay Thai?

"You mean that?"

Tenon's feet began to lightly hop twice. Almost instinctively, Onito immediately crouched down and covered his head with his hands. Unless you have a distance advantage, this move is unavoidable against a fast attacker. The only way to defend is to raise your knee and crouch down with your head covered. Only with triple protection can you block it. Onito never expected Tenon to have such a move. In desperation, he could only use double protection. At most, he would break his arm. If he was hit, his internal organs would rupture. These were common occurrences. Even if he was lucky enough to dodge a vital point, he would lose his ability to fight. It was a rather ruthless technique. However, good opportunities for it in actual combat were rare. After all, no one would be foolish enough to fight you at close range. As long as you jumped out of the small range of the knee attack, this sure-kill move would become a huge weakness. It is impossible to maintain balance on one leg under attack.

"Don't worry, I won't make a sudden move. I'm just curious. Shibata clearly gave you a chance because he was careless. One strike would have been enough to take him down, but you actually held back."

Tianyin stopped jumping and subconsciously touched the pocket of her school uniform. When she realized that she had finished all her snacks, a look of frustration appeared on her face.

"This is the problem that Sakayanagi discovered. She told me that the school doesn't have enough professional special competition coaches, so it's impossible to arrange proper protection. Therefore, she told me to save my strength when I make a move, because it would become very troublesome if someone died. It's not worth risking someone's life for a match that we can't afford to lose."

Gui Tou spoke so casually, as if his full effort would truly kill someone.

"Indeed, but you're not a professional, are you? I noticed you weren't wearing protective gear and were even wearing shoes..."

Tianyin directly exposed Guitou's amateur status, but Guitou did not deny it. He had spent most of his life in school and had no time or energy to learn professional Muay Thai.

"So what if they're amateur? Even if they're amateurs, if they master just one move, they're invincible."
