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

What Karuizawa Megumi can do...

'I guess the only thing I can do is read people's expressions? That's the only ability I'm somewhat confident in, but in this situation, it's fists that decide the outcome, not...'

Karuizawa's eyes lit up. She noticed Masahiko's hesitation. Clearly, Masahiko didn't want to hit her either. In that case, should they take a gamble?

A crazy idea that Karuizawa found utterly insane suddenly popped into her head.

"I'm sorry, I cannot surrender."

Karuizawa, with a smile on his face, said that he refused to surrender.

"Hmm? If you don't surrender, it will put me in a difficult position. I don't like to hit girls, but that doesn't mean I won't hit them."

Yan's icy tone sent a chill down Karuizawa's spine, and even his legs began to tremble involuntarily.

Horikita, who was behind, shook his head helplessly when he saw Karuizawa like this.

"Amane, why didn't you make Karuizawa surrender? The way she looked... was really embarrassing, but your order was obviously a bit too much, wasn't it?"

Faced with Horikita's responsibilities, Amane blinked innocently.

"How come I didn't know about this?"

"Huh? What on earth are you and Karuizawa up to?"

"I don't know... Waaaaah, Rin! Stop it! So many people are watching, give me some face, waaaah! I really didn't mean to stop her from surrendering, Rin, you have to believe me..."

Seeing Amane being bullied by Horikita, Shiina secretly chuckled to herself.

Who told Tianyin to bully her like that yesterday? This is what they call karma!

However, what Shiina didn't know was that Ichinose saw her smile and immediately understood the situation between Shiina and Amane.

However, unlike others who wanted to prevent new members from joining, Ichinose was open to all comers. In any case, the one most affected by the addition of new members was Sakayanagi. It was enough for her to have a small place in Amane's heart.

While Amane was fooling around, Masahiko was already dumbfounded by Karuizawa's answer on the competition field.

“When I went on stage, Tianyin told me, ‘If Jiang Yan asks you to surrender when you meet him, just refuse. Jiang Yan will understand what I mean.’ So I had no choice.”

Karuizawa had a sudden inspiration and told a lie. She had told countless lies in her life, so one more wouldn't make a difference. She observed that Masahiko's gaze would soften when he heard Amane's name. Therefore, Karuizawa judged that her relationship with Amane was her greatest reliance. If she used it well, she might have a chance to turn the tide.

"Sister Tianyin actually said that? But... isn't that cheating? Sister Tianyin clearly already guessed that I would go first, isn't it enough to replace me with you?"

Jiang Yan fell into deep thought, looking conflicted.

It's obvious who is more important to Jiang Yan, the first-year student or Amane. However, he doesn't quite understand Amane's actions. According to common sense, replacing him with Karuizawa and letting him get a point should be a normal operation. Amane isn't a stingy person; she wouldn't refuse to give him even a point, especially not through such cheating methods...

Jiang Yan looked in the direction of Amane with confusion, only to see Horikita pinching Amane's cheek and 'bullying' her. Jiang Yan's temper flared up again, and just as he was about to teach Horikita a lesson, he suddenly turned around and looked at Karuizawa.

"I understand what Sister Tianyin means. I didn't expect her to choose you... Hmph, although you don't seem like a useful guy, as long as you can bring Sister Tianyin happiness, that's your greatest value, understand?"

"what?"

Karuizawa looked on in bewilderment as Masahiko raised his hands and surrendered without turning his head.

"Miyako Masahiko from Class 1-A has surrendered, and the victor is Karuizawa Megumi from Class 2-A."

When the results of the competition were announced, both first-year and second-year students were stunned by the explosive outcome.

Karuizawa Kei defeated Miyako Masahiko? Are you kidding me? The opponent even surrendered voluntarily. You'd only believe it if they didn't hold back.

"Miyako, you really are the mole..."

"roll."

Baoquan was about to accuse Jiang Yan of deliberately admitting defeat, but Jiang Yan easily scared him off with just a look.

Yagami, displeased with Masahiko's behavior, stood in front of him.

"Miyako-kun, don't you need to explain to everyone who supports you? Your behavior just now was..."

Before Yagami could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Masahiko.

"Explanation? I haven't done anything wrong, why should I explain myself to you? As for support... did I ask you to support me?"

"Miyako Masahiko! Don't you have any sense of responsibility as a first-year student? We are a group now, and we should—"

Yagami's body soared into the air and then crashed heavily onto Utsunomiya, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines.

"A bunch of useless trash."

"Miyako! What are you doing? We're going to report you to the school for using violence to beat up a classmate!"

"casual."

"Class A, you just wait and see, Class B won't forgive us easily..."

"Hmph? You dare to talk about forgiveness?"

Jiang Yan pushed aside the B-class boy who was blocking her way and walked to an empty space to sit down.

Seeing Jiang Yan's arrogance, the students of Class B surrounded him, intending to teach him a lesson. Fortunately, Tian Ze reacted quickly and led the students of Class A to block the path of the students of Class B, and the two sides started a verbal battle there.

Strangely, the instructor just stood by and watched without making any move to resolve the dispute.

If things continue like this, it wouldn't be surprising if someone took action. Why doesn't the school... Oh no!

Hayasaka suddenly shouted at everyone who was still arguing.

"Stop right there! The school has surveillance cameras here, and your behavior will affect our class points! If you don't want to lose points, you'd better behave yourselves!"

It has to be said that interests can settle many things. Originally, Yagami was just angry and wanted to have a serious fight with Masahiko, but after hearing Hayasaka say that the school might monitor their performance through surveillance, he immediately started looking around.

Sure enough, just as Hayasaka said, there were no fewer than ten surveillance cameras filming the situation. If the two sides had really fought, they would have suffered a huge loss. Although getting Ayanokouji to drop out of school was their main task, they were going to live here until graduation. They would have to go from not being able to eat vegetables every day to graduating, right?

Mission is mission, and life is life. Seeing this, Yagami could only swallow his anger and distance himself from Class B and Class A. However, judging from the way the two classes stared at each other, even if he stopped their actions with benefits now, it would only delay the time when a conflict would break out.

The current Class B of Grade 1 is like a ticking time bomb, and it might just give Class A of Grade 1 a good thrashing at any time.

After restraining the students of Class A in the first year, Tianze came to Jiang Yan's side alone. She was also quite curious as to why Jiang Yan chose to surrender. Could it be that he really reached some kind of agreement with Tianyin?

"Tianze, you want to ask me why I took the initiative to admit defeat and surrender, right?"

That's one of the advantages of talking to smart people; you don't even need to state your purpose, and they can roughly guess what you're thinking.

"If it's inconvenient to say, then forget it."

"This should be considered Tianyin's private matter, but you should also be favored by Tianyin, so it's okay to tell you."

"Wait, what do you mean I was favored? I wasn't...favored by my senior."

Tianze waved his hands frantically, trying to explain his situation, but all he got in return was a cold glance from Jiang Yan.

“I could smell the scents of Amane-nee and Arisu-nee on you when we were on the bus.”

Upon hearing this, Tianze's face darkened.

"What you're saying is absolutely disgusting..."

"Say what you will, what I want to say is that the girl named Karuizawa just told me that Amane-nee hinted that I had to let her win. At first, I didn't quite understand, but when I saw that girl named Horikita bullying Amane-nee, I suddenly realized that Amane-nee wanted to use Karuizawa's prestige from defeating me to pave the way for Karuizawa. Amane-nee is planning to change toys. Hmph, I'm sure that vicious woman named Horikita will be abandoned by Amane-nee soon. Only Arisu-nee will be..."

Tianze turned and left because he couldn't stand Jiang Yan entering a strange mode. Although everything Jiang Yan said made sense, Tianze had a feeling that Tianyin shouldn't have thought of such a complicated step.

After all, the girls around Tianyin get along quite harmoniously, apart from the occasional bickering in private...

Tianze blushed as he recalled the scene of his heart-to-heart talk with Sakayanagi in bed.

Spending the whole night with your love rival having a battle with Tianyin is such a shameful thing, once is enough!!

"The second match will be between Eri Iwasaki, a C-rank player from Class B of the first year, and Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, a C-rank player from Class A of the second year. The match will officially begin."

As soon as the instructor called Ayanokouji's name, all the students from Shiraya began to crowd towards the training ground, eager to witness Ayanokouji's true strength and see if he deserved the title of 'the strongest of the new generation' among their Shiraya students.

"I never expected my opponent would be you."

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji was slightly surprised that his opponent would be Yuki.

However, he quickly regained his composure. He knew that Xue was definitely not there to fight him. Perhaps when Xue was still a student at the White House, she could have exchanged a few blows with him, but after being crippled by a single punch in a fight with the peak-form Amane at the White House, Xue had been bedridden for several years. Now, she probably didn't even have one-tenth of her former strength, so she had almost no chance of winning against him.

"I guessed you'd be the second one to go, and I also knew your next student to go would be a B-level student."

Iwasaki laughed heartily, completely ignoring the fact that someone from the second-year class seemed to be pointing at her and cursing her.

"Perhaps, then Xue, what do you plan to do?"

"Can I admit defeat with you, Kiyotaka?"

Let's admit defeat together.

Ayanokouji pondered for a moment. He had the upper hand in this match, and winning wouldn't be difficult. If he were to concede defeat now, he would be giving up his advantage of a great victory, and Amane would likely have some complaints about his actions... However, Yuki was his future girlfriend and his only hope of escaping this country. It would be a case of penny-wise and pound-foolish to bully Yuki just to win a match.

So after a brief moment of thought, Ayanokouji agreed to Iwasaki's request, and the two of them decided to concede defeat.

"Both first and second graders conceded defeat, resulting in a draw."

As the second game ended in a draw, the scene erupted in chaos. Jiang Yan had conceded defeat in the first game, and the second game was simply a tie.

The fact that no one had made a move even though the match was already halfway over had left many onlookers who just wanted to see the two grades really fight it out.

Amane was just about to praise Karuizawa when Ayanokouji suddenly conceded defeat. After glancing at who Ayanokouji's opponent was, Amane couldn't help but let out a soft snort.

Ayanokouji has already started disobeying her orders. Does he really think the Iwasaki family can protect him? That's wishful thinking. However, considering that Ayanokouji may be clinging to Yuki as his last hope, his somewhat reckless actions are understandable.

However, Tianyin doesn't like disobedient chess pieces.

"Heavenly Sound?"

"I'm fine. I didn't expect Ayanokouji to surrender. This is really troublesome. Now let's see if Albert has good luck and can face the D-level player on the other side. If so, we'll definitely win."

According to the best-of-four rule, the second-year students must win the last two games to win, even if they lose one game, it is considered a draw. Tianyin is definitely in a good position, it all depends on how Albert performs.

"The third match will be between Mai Kuwazono, Class C, Grade D, and Albert Yamada, Class C, Grade B, from the first year."

When Amane heard an unfamiliar name, she quickly checked Kuwazawa Mami's data. It turned out that Kuwazawa Mami's highest data was a C+ level of social contribution, and her academic ability was C and physical ability was D+. It looked like data from a D class.

Albert should be able to win easily, right?

Facing the muscular, 1.8-meter-tall Albert on the competition field, the bespectacled Asami Kuwazono, who was only about 1.5 meters tall, appeared so petite, as if the outcome was predetermined from the start.

"Albert, finish this quickly! Show no mercy!"

Ibuki loudly cheered for Albert from her class. As if hearing Ibuki's cheers, Albert made an OK sign without turning his head.

It's clear that Albert is very confident in himself.

"Hello, I am Mai Sangyuan from Class C, Grade 1. Nice to meet you."

Sang Yuan was the first person in the competition to greet her opponent. Albert couldn't be aloof in front of such a polite girl, so he could only bow his head slightly as a greeting, but he had no intention of communicating with her.

Albert then adopted an offensive stance but remained motionless, seemingly wanting to give Sangyuan time to concede defeat.

But to everyone's surprise, Sangyuan not only showed no sign of admitting defeat, but also made a strange gesture herself.

"Mai, catch!"

Utsunomiya suddenly picked up a stick and threw it at Kuwazono. Since the match was an unrestricted fight, weapons could be used.

After taking the stick, Sangyuan frowned at first, then suddenly burst out with amazing momentum. He instantly used a sliding step-like movement to get in front of Albert, and then shouted loudly before Albert could react.

"I'll take your throat!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Albert was struck in the throat by Sangyuan's stick, and then fell backward to the ground.

The scene fell into a deathly silence.

Chapter 93: I thought you were going to touch me...

Albert was knocked down by a girl.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, almost every second-year student would have readily agreed that the girl who defeated Albert was Amane. There are countless powerful students among the second-year students, but to say that a girl could defeat Albert, who is a top-five student even among the boys and a first-rate goalkeeper, is truly remarkable.

There is no other possibility that this person exists besides Tianyin.

But now Albert has been defeated by an unknown girl in the first grade. Everyone around him is stunned by this scene, their mouths agape but unable to utter a sound.

The stark contrast between the burly Albert and the petite, delicate-eyed girl is simply too much for people to accept.

Even Albert himself was stunned. He clutched his throat, staring blankly at the sky, his mind completely blank. He didn't even have the memory of how he was knocked down.

This was far more damaging to Albert's confidence and dignity than Tianyin using him as a punching bag.

After a long while, people around began to whisper among themselves, and many took out their phones to access the OAA to check the specific data of the girl named Mai Kuwazono.

Even now, they still can't believe that Albert could be defeated by someone with such terrible stats.

Time ticked by, and just when everyone thought the game would end in this farcical manner, an angry voice rang out from the second-year students.

"Albert! How much longer are you going to lie on the ground? Get up now! How could you possibly be defeated by someone like that?! Don't disgrace Class C!"
