The all-powerful middle schooler

"Let them clean their necks and wait!"

……

Bid farewell to Chika and Rikka one after another.

After walking out of the tram station, Izumi Hanegawa hurried to a nearby supermarket.

After buying the remaining half-price potato chips and happy water, I also prepared the ingredients for the next few days.

As the saying goes, only when you are in charge of the household do you know how expensive firewood and rice are.

Ever since he took control of the family, he started to be more frugal.

After all, his family isn't wealthy, so he has to be frugal with his pocket money, otherwise, it won't be enough to buy games, novels, etc.

"It's true, it's so easy to make money in the second dimension."

After returning home, he looked at the series of figures on his bookshelf and couldn't help but complain.

Shuchiin High School.

With the widespread use of the Internet today, the result of yesterday's challenge quickly spread throughout the school.

Almost no one could question Izumi Hasegawa's performance in the duel, so much so that he immediately gained a large number of fans in Shuchiin. His personal prestige reached its peak and he was the talk of the town.

When Izumi Hanegawa stepped into the campus, he clearly found that the way everyone looked at him had changed.

It is no longer arrogance, contempt, or condescension, but more envy, jealousy, and admiration.

He has successfully transformed his reputation from negative to positive.

However, he was not satisfied.

"Sage, I feel like you don't look very happy today. Could it be that... the Administration has launched an attack on you?"

Rikka Takanashi looked alert and looked around.

Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them!

While they are making such a big fuss, they naturally have a plan in place for this.

The enemy will not allow them to grow in power!

"No, what I'm wondering is, why has no one come forward to recommend themselves even though I've done so much? Are they still waiting and watching?"

Twisting his chin with one hand, Hanezegawa Izumi closed his eyes and thought.

"Isn't the prestige of defeating the Go and Tennis Clubs enough?"

Rikka Takanashi also thought about it.

The student sitting in the front overheard the conversation in the back and couldn't help laughing.

Is it possible that everyone simply doesn't want to join in and become a "Chuunibyou"?

This has nothing to do with personal strength. I don’t want to be treated as an idiot!

……

After lunch, it's time for lunch break.

"Izumi-chan, let's play a new game today! I'm sure I can beat you this time!"

Fujiwara Chika came to his seat with a cheerful look on her face.

Deep in the girl's eyes, Izumi Hanegawa saw a familiar competitive spirit.

"Then come on."

He nodded in response as per the previous agreement.

"etc……!"

A slender arm stood between the two of them.

"Kano-san, why are you stopping us? Do you want to play 'Draw the Ghost Cards' as well?"

Fujiwara Chika turned her head and asked curiously.

"If you want to challenge the sage, you must defeat me first!"

Rikka Takanashi covered her eye patch with one hand and said with a cool look.

"Okay, then I'll defeat you first! And then I'll defeat Quan-chan!"

Fujiwara Chika agreed immediately without showing any fear at all.

She is now in high spirits and is absolutely sure of winning.

Izumi Hanesegawa temporarily lent a chair to Chika so that she and Rikka could fight using the student desks as a boundary.

Both parties have a total of 53 playing cards, and they take turns drawing cards. Having two identical cards will cancel each other out, until whoever has only the joker left in his hand is the loser.

"It looks like a game of luck. As long as I don't show any flaws in my expression when the cards are drawn... Is Qianhua trying to gamble with me?"

Izumi Hanegawa, who was watching the battle, was thinking in his heart.

But, he always felt that it wouldn't be that simple, after all, it was Qianhua!

After a while, Fujiwara Chika and Rikka drew cards from each other until only two or three cards were left in their hands.

It can be said that this move will determine the outcome.

"Which one is it?"

There was a hint of sinisterness in Fujiwara Chika's smile. Her right hand touched Rikka's three cards in order, as if she was observing Rikka's expression and acting accordingly.

“That’s it…!”

At a certain moment, Rikka Takanashi's expression showed an obvious fluctuation, and then Chika pulled out the card.

Now Qianhua only has one poker card left in her hand that is not a joker.

“I lost…!”

Rikka Takanashi was devastated and her head drooped.

"You're not even close yet."

Fujiwara Chika put her eyes on her hips, looked proud, and repeated her lines.

Turning her head, she was met with a pair of disgusted eyes.

"Qianhua, you are such a dirty player!"

26Thunder Hammer User, here we go!

"Why? Why did Izumi-chan suddenly say that to me?!"

Fujiwara Chika still pretended to be righteous, but her vision had become a little vague.

"Sage, have you discovered anything?"

Rikka Takanashi recovered from the blow and looked suspicious.

"You can tell if you look carefully at the upper left corner of the joker card."

Izumi Hanegawa pointed to that location.

"Ok?"

Rikka Takanashi followed his instructions, reached out and picked up the joker card. When she touched the corner, her fingers felt something discordant.

This part has obviously been rubbed, unlike the other cards!

This way you can avoid drawing joker cards when you draw cards.

"That is to say... Fujiwara-san, you actually plotted against me! You are just a mere mortal, but you are too proud of yourself!"

Her expression suddenly changed, she stood up and accused the girl with cherry hair and a black bow.

Fujiwara Chika immediately lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong, pursed her lips, her cheeks flushed, and remained silent.

Getting caught cheating is so embarrassing!

"Qianhua, it seems that you can't get rid of this bad habit of yours."

Izumi Hanegawa's words were not particularly harsh.

He's used to it.

Qianhua had used countless tricks to defeat him in the game, but he had defended against them all.

I just thought Qianhua would learn well, but I didn't expect that she was still holding on to her luck.

"Because... because I just want to beat Izumi-chan just once!"

Fujiwara Chika covered her burning red face and rushed out of the house.

When a card bug is discovered and you don’t have a membership, you can only choose to temporarily quit the game.

"What's wrong? What happened? Fujiwara-san was bullied by Hanesegawa, so she's crying?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Maybe Fujiwara-san got rejected for his confession!"

"Don't be ridiculous, there's no way Fujiwara-san is in a relationship, and neither is Hanezawa!"

At this time, the attention of other people in the classroom was also attracted, and they shared their views with their own insights.

Just as the first class in the afternoon ended.

"Hasegawa-san."

Suddenly, a call came from the door behind the teacher.

He turned around and saw a girl wearing glasses, the head of the News Department, Asahi Shizuku, the girl who looked very gentle.

The other party brought them an unexpected news.

"got rejected?"

Near the corner of the rooftop, Izumi Hanegawa seemed a little surprised when he heard what she said.

"Yes, I have confirmed that the football department has rejected your challenge."

Asahi Shizuku nodded.

"You actually chose to escape from your fateful battle. This is the behavior of a weakling! Let's just disband. This world is very cruel and there is no place for the weak."

Rikka Takanashi commented with a sneering tone.

"Their reason is - there are not enough people."

The girl lifted the center bridge of her glasses and gave the other party her reasons.

"Number of people?"

Izumi Hanesegawa let out a light exclamation.

"Yeah, I almost forgot such an important point. It's really too much for me to go play football with them alone. It's normal for them to refuse."

Were you originally planning to play the entire team by yourself?

The corners of Asahi Shizuku's mouth twitched slightly, and she forced herself to suppress the urge to complain.

"No, actually. It's because a lot of people in the football club graduated last year, and this year due to some reasons, the team was reorganized, and now we haven't formed a team yet."

she replied.

"Well, let's bypass the football club and challenge the basketball club."

After a moment of hesitation, Izumi Hanegawa decided to change his target.

Anyway, the current hype is almost there, so the lack of a football club of the same type won’t be a big problem.

"What about the agreed time? Is it still tomorrow?"

Asahi Shizuku asked this because she considered that school was about to start and she needed to give the other person some time to prepare.
