Seeing that both of them were prepared to fight on despite repeated defeats, Akiyama Kaede was speechless.
"What I just said was just a deduction extended from the perspective of common sense... Although in reality, those people (Li Hao) who dare to use their memberships to attract others to challenge them and earn money in this way are indeed quite skilled, Tokita-kun has also defeated top-tier fighters like Rito and Jun Sekibayashi, and such fighters are not common in the Kengan Association."
"In other words, if we were to continue the challenge, the most likely opponents we would face would be fighters who are even slightly weaker than the opponents Mr. Ohma once defeated?"
Yamashita Kazuo stroked his chin and said.
"That's it."
Akiyama Kaede nodded slightly, then sighed:
"Yato Igarashi is an exception among exceptions. His company is a small to medium-sized enterprise, and he just seized the Kengan Association membership from someone else. He probably participated in the unofficial challenge to make up for the 5 billion yen he spent on the elimination rounds. After all, that's no small amount of money."
"I knew it... If opponents of that caliber were everywhere, the Kengan tournament would be terrifying." Yamashita Kazuo looked relieved.
Akiyama Kaede glanced at him, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
This man could sense how terrifying the other person was even without any information about them.
"Since we've brought it up, let's just make things clear to you, Fire."
"Don't let his age fool you, Yato Igarashi, who is not even twenty years old yet."
Akiyama Kaede spoke with a solemn expression.
"If Rihito and Sekibayashi Jun are top-tier fighters, then he is a super-top-tier fighter... No, even super-top-tier fighters might not be able to beat him. Why? Nogi Group lost to him once not long ago. You've all seen the fighters they sent back then, yes... it was the first time."
"...?!"
"...?!"
(Two more chapters to go!)
Chapter 168
Clang.
Yato crumpled the empty soda can into a ball with one hand and threw it into a trash can ten meters away.
The girls around him, who were already secretly and curiously watching him, couldn't help but gasp in surprise. When Yato's gaze swept over them, their faces turned red, and they ran away like startled rabbits, not even giving him a chance to strike up a conversation.
"..."
Yato sighed with a hint of regret.
Students in girls' schools are relatively easier to woo because they have less contact with the opposite sex.
But he really didn't dare to go up and strike up a conversation.
There is no other reason.
This is the Royal Sakura Girls' Academy.
It's the school his new girlfriend attends.
If I go up and strike up a conversation now, it might be difficult if Zhu Mei sees me.
and……
Yato glanced at the security guard booth at the entrance.
There was an elderly security guard staring intently at him, as if to say, "I won't allow you to harm my students right under my nose."
Although he was speechless, Yato could understand it.
So many charming and pretty girls, aged between fifteen and eighteen, wearing pleated skirts and knee-high socks, were strolling around in front of me. It was pleasing to the eye, let alone trying to strike up a conversation.
Royal Sakura Girls' Academy is an all-girls school. In addition, the vast majority of students come from wealthy families, have no worries about food and drink, and have good upbringing and character. For some men who make a living by their looks, they are excellent prey.
After standing there for just a short while, Yato noticed several young men who were clearly up to no good but were pretending to be friendly and trying to strike up conversations with the female students.
However, this situation has probably happened many times before. None of the girls took the bait; instead, they verbally attacked the other party quite severely.
These days, it's tough to get by in any industry.
Yato thought to himself with emotion.
Then, a young man who had repeatedly failed in his missions staggered to the telephone pole next to him, looking as if he had lost his soul, and almost turned into a gray statue that withered away in the wind.
"Sigh, what's wrong with girls these days... I invited them to go to karaoke, and they actually refused, saying they were already tired of it. They wanted me to take them shopping in Ginza...? Don't they know how expensive it is there?!"
"There's nothing we can do, they all know you have ulterior motives."
Yato looked at him with pity.
"I have ulterior motives?!"
The young man's eyes widened as if he had been utterly wronged, but he probably realized that his behavior was indeed inappropriate, and he immediately deflated, saying with great grievance:
"I just want to find a girlfriend who is rich, gentle, cute, and understanding... Is there anything wrong with that? I'm approaching each of them with sincerity."
Yato is simply amazing.
"...You really are a complete scumbag. But even so, you shouldn't have failed so many times. What exactly did you say to them?"
"Just ask them if they want to go out together. I've already arranged the next schedule. We'll have dinner first, then go to my place or yours. If they don't like either of those, going to a hotel is fine, but the price can't exceed 1,000 yen per night."
"I think I know where your problem lies."
"?!"
The young man was startled and looked at Yato with burning eyes.
"here."
Yato pointed to his head.
"This part of yours isn't quite right."
"...It's a bit too much to make personal attacks on someone you've just met. Besides, at least I dared to try, unlike you who's been standing here for a while, with so many girls walking past you and you haven't reacted at all."
"Because I was waiting for my girlfriend to get out of school. Look, she's here!"
Upon hearing this, the young man turned his head to look inside the school gate.
Then a girl with her hair in a plumage, whose looks were significantly better than the girls around her, exuding an elegant and dignified air, and who seemed like a real young lady, ran over with a joyful expression.
"...Sorry to bother you."
The young man, who had been brutally attacked, promptly fled.
"what?"
Zhu Mei walked up to Yato and glanced in the direction the young man had left, looking puzzled.
"Is that Yato-kun's friend?"
"No, none of my friends are mentally challenged."
Yato doesn't want his social circle to be polluted.
"By the way, why are you the only one here? Where are Hibiki and Ayaka?"
"They'll be here soon. I'm not in the same class as them. Um... I was worried that Yato-kun would have to wait too long, so I came ahead of time."
Although meeting her boyfriend in front of so many classmates at the school gate was embarrassing, the thought of Yato coming to the school to find her made Akemi more excited and happy than shy.
"To be honest, the scenery here is quite nice, so there's no harm in staying a little longer."
"landscape?"
Hearing Yato say that, the girl looked around with a puzzled expression.
Having studied at the Royal Sakura Girls' Academy for so long, she really hadn't noticed anything special about the scenery at the school gate.
The same is true this time.
I looked carefully for a long time but found nothing.
Instead, Zhu Mei noticed the surprised looks from her classmates, and as if realizing something, her face suddenly flushed red.
She even overheard people saying things like, "Wow, that's so bold, meeting her boyfriend at the school gate," "Isn't that the student council president, Souyuuin? I've never heard of her having a boyfriend before, she's really good at keeping things secret," and "That's great, I also want a boyfriend that handsome and reassuring..."
Looks like you'll have to wear a bulletproof vest to school tomorrow.
Yato joked.
"...Bulletproof vests can't stop a barrage of words. Are you just going to watch me get bullied, Yato-kun?"
Zhu Mei gave him a pitiful look.
"You're so popular at school, it's good enough that you don't bully others."
Yato was somewhat gloating.
Zhu Mei is the student council president of Huangying Girls' Academy. She is gentle, academically excellent, athletic, and beautiful, attracting countless girls around her.
"It's precisely because we're so popular that we're being 'besieged,' just like how Hibiki and Ayaka reacted when they found out we were dating." That's what she said, but there was no worry on Akemi's face. Instead, she smiled gently, completely unconcerned about the reactions of those around her. She hugged Yato's arm, their intimate gestures making it seem as if they were afraid others wouldn't know they were a couple.
"Wow...you guys are really something, the first thing we see when we come out is such blinding light."
Hibiki and Ayaka, who happened to appear at that moment, witnessed this scene and their faces instantly darkened.
"Ah, Yato-kun's hands...such perfect muscles..."
Lost in her own fantasy, Akemi didn't even notice Hibiki and the others' arrival. Like a cat that had inhaled catnip, she rubbed her face against Yato's arm, her infatuated expression undisguised.
Seeing her like this, Hibiki and Ayaka exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Yato, why do you suddenly want to go to the gym?"
Xiang seemed to remember something and asked curiously.
"There are some muscle-related issues I'd like to ask Mr. Masao, an expert, for his help."
Yato said with a smile.
Chapter 169
Silverman Gym, also known as 'Silverman Gym'.
With over three million members in twenty-eight countries worldwide, its trainers are also top athletes in various sports.
Even in Minato Ward, Tokyo, where land is extremely valuable, they have opened five branches.
The branch store that Yato and Akemi went to was very close to the Royal Sakura Girls' Academy, just across the street.
The store gives a very spacious impression, built to the scale of a stadium that can host football matches. On the building with modern artistic features, a 50-meter-tall silver-white bodybuilding statue stands there, showing off its explosive muscle lines. It is simply too eye-catching.
"Oh! Isn't this Igarashi-kun? Long time no see."
The person who is greeting you warmly right now is a handsome guy with a refreshing look, wearing a blue and white tracksuit.
Its name is 'Masaki Norizo'.
"Still as outrageous as ever, Mr. Machio."
Yato looked at his clothes with a slightly strange expression.
It's unimaginable how much training those bodies must have undergone to be able to shrink and expand at will; they're practically like a beast.
"Oh, do you two know each other?"
Ayaka said with a hint of surprise.
“I came here a year ago, and my trainer at that time was Mr. Machio.”
Yato shrugged.
“I have a deep impression of members as talented as Igarashi.”
Jie Xiongming did not hold back his praise.
"I was honestly a little disappointed when he stopped coming, but now it seems that Igarashi hasn't given up on training. Those muscles... I can feel a powerful, boiling mass of flesh! It's truly... incredibly exciting!"
Looking at Yato's robust physique, a glint flashed in his eyes. Then, his tracksuit suddenly burst open, the fabric fluttering like butterflies, accompanied by a powerful surge of air, revealing his enormous body, which resembled that of a small giant.
Each muscle is like a piece of marble carved by a knife and axe. Although large, each piece is perfectly shaped. Within that rugged atmosphere, there is a delicate sense of artistry waiting to be discovered.
"Ah, here we go again."
