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

Upon hearing Ibuki's words, Instructor Uesugi shook his head.

"If I'm not mistaken, what you're talking about is probably from middle school, right? You should rarely be able to beat others in high school."

Instructor Uesugi's evaluation shocked Ibuki into blurting it out.

"how do you know?"

"It's a very simple matter. The way you fight with strength is clearly something you've been doing for a long time. It means that this was your fighting style in junior high school. At that age, even boys would have a hard time matching your strength. Winning wouldn't be too difficult. But in high school, boys' development speed catches up, and the strength you're so proud of loses its advantage. Unfortunately, your fighting style is a high-burst attack in a short time, which sacrifices speed and technique. This means that most girls who have trained a little will find it difficult for you to play a role if they take advantage of speed. Your strength among them will also not be as outstanding as it was in junior high school."

"It's foolish for you to still be using that brute-force fighting style under these circumstances. If you encounter someone stronger than you, you have no choice but to get beaten up. The most important thing is... it's too late for you to change now. Your physical potential has reached its limit. Even if you change your fighting style, it won't help. It's a real pity."

Instructor Uesugi sighed with emotion.

The light that had finally shone in Ibuki's eyes went out again in an instant.

How could she not know her own situation?

"Thank you for your guidance, Instructor Uesugi."

"It's alright, I haven't been able to help you much. If you're willing to relearn the Aikido techniques systematically, I can teach you privately, for free, of course!"

"I will go if there is a need."

After finishing her sentence, Ibuki walked dejectedly toward the direction of the second-year students. At first, she didn't notice anything, but when she got closer, she found that everyone was sitting together in the same dormitory group as before. As if she had thought of something, Ibuki's face turned even more unpleasant.

Today was such a terrible day!!!

After watching Ibuki leave, Instructor Uesugi turned his attention to Amane.

"Is it finally my turn?"

Tianyin enthusiastically stretched her body.

"That's right, I can tell you're a highly skilled fighter who's undergone rigorous training. But please feel free to use your skills; your instructors are very strong!"

Chapter 112: I'm Hungry

Instructor Uesugi's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Amane.

Logically speaking, an instructor who has just easily defeated a challenger should be somewhat relaxed under the praise of the crowd, since her opponents are only two high school girls and it doesn't matter if she takes it too seriously.

However, Tenon couldn't see any sense of relaxation in Instructor Uesugi's eyes at all. On the contrary, besides the intense killing intent, there was also a hint of excitement in Instructor Uesugi's dark eyes.

Instructor Uesugi's eyes were like flames burning in the night. The two simply stared at each other calmly, and Tenon could clearly feel the intense excitement emanating from Instructor Uesugi's eyes.

It seems the plan has failed.

Amane's original intention in using her eyes to hint to Ibuki to challenge Instructor Uesugi first was partly to test Instructor Uesugi's strength. After all, Instructor Li, who was also an instructor, seemed to have a lot of trouble with Instructor Uesugi. As instructors of the same level, their strength should not be too different. However, the fact that one of them was having trouble with the other showed that Instructor Uesugi was a rather dangerous and reckless guy, even without considering their strength.

Hopefully, the opponent won't go crazy when they fight me.

In addition, Amane also hoped that Ibuki's defeat would make the opponent lower their guard. If that were the case, she might be able to defeat the opponent unexpectedly. After all, the opponent seemed to be a very powerful guy. Amane was not sure if she could win.

However, it now seems that Tianyin's plan has obviously failed. Not only have she failed to achieve either of her objectives, but she has also inexplicably provoked the enemy's fighting spirit. It seems that she is about to face a tough battle.

"Instructor Uesugi, you're putting a lot of pressure on me by saying that."

Tianyin took a deep breath and quickly lowered her center of gravity, assuming a balanced offensive and defensive stance.

"Come on, a 'genius who is unparalleled in his generation' would not die so easily."

"Oh? Instructor Uesugi, you've heard the rumors about me too?"

Tenon spoke to Instructor Uesugi with a tone of surprise, but the emotion in her eyes gradually disappeared, eventually being replaced by a coldness.

"Of course, but I know more about something else related to you than that."

"what?"

"Do you know that your head is worth five billion yen, Ms. Miyako?"

A soft voice, accompanied by the whistling wind, reached Tianyin's ears. A second later, a loud bang exploded beside Tianyin's ears. Almost instinctively, Tianyin crossed her arms to protect her head. Immediately afterward, Tianyin felt a huge force knock her to the ground.

"Heavenly Sound!!"

Horikita stood up nervously.

She thought that with Tenon's strength, she could at least fight the instructor to a draw, but to her surprise, Instructor Uesugi's ordinary inside punch sent Tenon flying.

Although Tianyin was only thrown back less than a meter, the exaggerated backward movement she made to dissipate the force, to the point that her hair touched the ground, truly stunned the audience.

Anyone who has fought against Tenon knows how strong she is. Coupled with her stable lower body, even Kito wouldn't dare say that he could shake Tenon's body with a full-force attack. Yet, that person called Instructor Uesugi actually did it!

"Not bad, not bad. There aren't many people in this world who can withstand my punch, and you are the youngest among them."

Instructor Uesugi's tone was full of affirmation of Tenon's strength, but Tenon, whose mind went blank for several seconds before she came to her senses, did not feel any joy.

"I almost thought I was going to die just now."

"Pretty much. If it were an ordinary person, like that guy from the teachers' college named Nagata, my punch just now would have shattered his skull. But you seem to have a very high level of control over your body... Is it a problem with your body structure or just 'talent'? But if you block the next punch like that, your arm will be ruined."

Instructor Uesugi calmly reminded Amane that she already had a general understanding of Amane's physical condition. Amane was a girl with great strength and endurance, and most importantly, she seemed to feel no pain no matter how she was injured. If it weren't for the normal physiological changes in Amane's chest and face when she breathed, Instructor Uesugi would have thought Amane was a robot.

However, as long as one is human, even if one cannot feel pain, it does not mean that one is not injured. An ordinary person might be intimidated by the fearless and painless performance, but for a master like Instructor Uesugi, even if Amane controls her expression well, they can still analyze whether Amane has been injured from her physical condition.

For example, Tianyin's rapid breathing now is very likely due to the penetrating force of that punch injuring her spleen. Even though Tianyin did not show any signs of pain, she could not hide her body's instincts.

"Sister Tianyin! How about we just..."

Jiang Yan saw that blood was starting to seep from the corner of Tian Yin's mouth and couldn't help but try to persuade her to give up the game.

"..."

Tenon didn't speak, and didn't even hear what Jiang Yan said. Knowing that she absolutely couldn't take a second punch, Tenon held her breath and focused all her attention on Instructor Uesugi. Meanwhile, the others were gradually disappearing from Tenon's sight.

When Instructor Uesugi saw Tenon's serious expression, a crazy smile crept onto his lips.

Whoosh!!

Another punch was swiftly aimed at Tianyin's face. This time, Tianyin did not choose to block it head-on, but instead skillfully dodged the attack by constantly and rapidly shifting her head.

call--!

The force of the punch caused Tianyin's face to contort.

Seeing that her attack missed, Instructor Uesugi was not surprised. If she had given Tenon enough time to catch her breath and given her a warning, Tenon still wouldn't have been able to dodge the attack, and her evaluation of Tenon would have dropped a bit.

Instructor Uesugi quickly retracted his fist and threw another punch. His punches were so fast that even Tenon couldn't catch the trajectory of his punches every time. She could only try to find a flaw in him that could turn the tide of the battle by constantly dodging.

"Wow, that's amazing! Is this the instructor's true strength? Even Miyako could only passively take the hits, that's so cool!"

"But apart from the first move that hit Miyako, didn't Miyako dodge all of the instructor's other attacks? And why do I feel like that's the only move the instructor knows?"

Instructor Uesugi's high-speed punches became afterimages in the eyes of the students below the field. Many of them were seeing someone throw such fast punches for the first time and couldn't help but shout excitedly.

Instructor Uesugi, who had thrown over forty punches that were all dodged by Tenon, stopped his attack. Such high-speed attacks were extremely exhausting. If he could hurt Tenon, it wouldn't matter if he wasted some energy, but the fact that he hadn't hit her dozens of times was enough to illustrate a serious problem.

His attack pattern had been figured out.

"Horikita-kun, who do you think will win, Amane or Instructor Uesugi?"

Ichinose, who had no experience in combat, asked Horikita Suzune, who was staring intently at the arena.

"It must be Instructor Uesugi. In terms of both strength and speed, Instructor Uesugi is superior to Amane. This means that Instructor Uesugi's physical qualities have almost completely surpassed Amane's current abilities. Although I don't want to admit it, that kind of punching speed and internal punch is a move that no normal person can use. Yet Instructor Uesugi attacked dozens of times in a row before he was only slightly out of breath. He's simply a monster!"

Upon hearing Horikita's statement, Ichinose was taken aback. She had seen Amane dodge Instructor Uesugi's attacks many times in a row, and she thought Horikita would think that Amane had a better chance of winning. She did not expect that Horikita would actually favor Instructor Uesugi.

"But isn't Tianyin in the lead right now?"

"Ichinose-san, sometimes you shouldn't easily believe what you see with your own eyes. Besides your eyes, the object of your observation can also deceive you. Amane's only chance to win now is to trade blows, which means she must take control of the offensive rhythm as soon as possible. It's easy to guess that Amane, who has been constantly pressured, is desperately hoping that Instructor Uesugi will show an opening. If Instructor Uesugi happens to show signs of exhaustion at this moment, if you were Amane, Ichinose-san, what would you do?"

"As for me... I might take a gamble? I understand, Horikita-kun, you mean Instructor Uesugi did it on purpose..."

Before Ichinose could finish speaking, a figure pounced on Instructor Uesugi like a wild beast.

"You fell for it after all. Your biggest weakness is your lack of practical experience... What?!"

Tenon rushed towards Instructor Uesugi and threw a punch. Instructor Uesugi immediately chose to defend, wanting to block the attack first and then counterattack to finish off Tenon, a monster who was good at attrition warfare. But just as Instructor Uesugi was about to reach out to stop Tenon, he saw that Tenon seemed to be holding something in her hand. When the two were extremely close, she suddenly threw it at Instructor Uesugi.

"hidden weapon?"

Instructor Uesugi instinctively closed his eyes, only to feel a few warm drops on his face. Before Instructor Uesugi could react, Tenon delivered a fierce spinning kick that struck Instructor Uesugi's head.

"what!!"

Instructor Uesugi didn't have the physical ability to ignore pain like Amane. After being kicked in the face, Instructor Uesugi fell flat on his back to the ground.

At the same time, a warm sensation gushed out from Instructor Uesugi's nostrils. Before she could reach out to wipe the blood from her nose, sensing the danger, Instructor Uesugi quickly rolled along the ground.

The instant Instructor Uesugi rolled, Tenon's Heavy Tower Strike landed on the spot where Instructor Uesugi had just stood.

pat!

The sound of flying gravel made Instructor Uesugi's throat tighten.

Only after successfully dodging Tenon's attack did Instructor Uesugi have time to observe what Tenon had just thrown at him.

Seeing the bloodstains that kept oozing from Tianyin's right hand, Instructor Shangshan immediately understood that Tianyin had scratched herself with her fingernail and then flung her blood at her.

Because Tenon's actions and expressions were too fierce, Instructor Uesugi misjudged that the other party might be holding a hidden weapon or grabbing a handful of dirt or pebbles from the ground.

To prevent eye injury, Instructor Uesugi chose to block with his eyes closed, which resulted in him being successfully ambushed by Amane's whip kick.

"That was a brilliant strike."

Instructor Uesugi casually wiped the blood from her nose with her sleeve, then looked down at Tenon's feet. She seemed to have just heard a sound of something being crushed. When Instructor Uesugi saw that the cement surface under Tenon's feet had actually been crushed by Tenon's foot, she couldn't help but feel a chill.

If I had stepped on her just now...

Instructor Uesugi took a deep breath to calm himself down and then charged towards Tenon again.

This time, Tenon refused to be outdone and chose to fight against Instructor Uesugi.

Seeing that Tenon had given up on defense and dodging, Instructor Uesugi judged that Tenon was going all out and would win easily if he could just wear down Tenon's momentum.

After all, she has the physical advantage of an adult. Perhaps if the thirty-year-old Tianyin met her, who was in her fifties, she could beat her to a pulp with one punch. But now, the sixteen-year-old Tianyin has met her, who is in her prime. It can only be said that she is unlucky.

Bang!!.

The two exchanged blows, each taking a heavy punch from the other. Neither Tenon nor Instructor Uesugi used any fancy moves; they began to compete entirely in terms of physical ability.

As a result, Instructor Uesugi's expression instantly turned ugly after Amane punched her in the chest.

The force that churned her internal organs made her throat tighten. Only then did she realize that Tianyin had used a strange power-generating technique when fighting her, which was why she had suffered a great loss.

Although his punch knocked Tianyin to the ground, Tianyin quickly got up again, and apart from some bruises on her cheek, she seemed to be fine.

At this moment, Instructor Uesugi truly felt the pressure brought by Tenon. As a master-level expert, she was absolutely certain that Tenon's injuries were not much lighter than hers. However, the problem was that no matter how serious Tenon's injuries were, she remained expressionless, while she was tormented by pain and grimaced. This comparison suddenly increased Instructor Uesugi's psychological pressure.

"you……"

"Noisy!"

boom!

Tianyin roared and delivered another heavy punch to Instructor Shangshan.

Left with no other option, Instructor Uesugi had to retaliate against Amane with a head-on confrontation.

Tenon groaned as she was elbowed in the chest, then continued to punch the instructor in the shirt without any expression.

"it hurts……"

Instructor Uesugi, whose back had been slightly bent after taking a heavy punch to the abdomen from the Heavenly Sound, began to bend.

In terms of physical fitness and strength, Instructor Uesugi was far superior to Amane at this time, but she couldn't fully utilize her skills under Amane's desperate attacks. Or rather, Amane deliberately used this close-quarters combat style to limit Instructor Uesugi's moves.

After taking several punches from Tenon, Instructor Uesugi finally couldn't hold back and vomited a mouthful of blood.

His face also began to turn a little paler.

Tianyin on the other side was also not feeling well. It was visibly that Tianyin's breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and her brows were starting to furrow. There was only one possibility for Tianyin's furrowed brows if she could not feel pain: that her internal organs had been injured and that her movements were affected. Otherwise, some pain and superficial injuries would be completely ignored.

Instructor Uesugi realized that if he continued to exchange injuries like this, he might really be defeated by Tenon, and he would lose face big time. So Instructor Uesugi's eyes sharpened and he began to change his tactics.

"watch out!"

Instructor Uesugi deliberately shouted loudly and then used the same trick as before to throw a punch at Tenon.

Amane instinctively threw a punch, intending to continue trading blows with Instructor Uesugi, but unexpectedly, Instructor Uesugi suddenly lowered his body just as he was about to approach Amane.

Tenon felt something was wrong when her punch missed. She quickly tried to distance herself from Instructor Uesugi, but unexpectedly, Instructor Uesugi slid in front of Tenon with an inside cut and then bent his right elbow, hitting Tenon directly in the chest.

The intense impact caused Tenon to cough violently, but Instructor Uesugi's attack was clearly not over yet. Instructor Uesugi quickly took a step forward, grabbed Tenon's throat, and pulled on Tenon's tracksuit. Then, with a loud shout, he suddenly exerted force with his waist.

Tianyin was spun around and slammed heavily onto the ground.

This was a perfectly timed and executed spinning throw. After being thrown to the ground, Amane tried to get up, but when Instructor Uesugi cut inside, he also slashed Amane's wrist hard with a hand chop. The disadvantage of not being able to feel pain appeared here.
