Meanwhile, behind the Fengxian Northwest Branch School, far from the noisy bars, on a quiet roadside bench.

Wu Jiujiang sat alone, drinking beer, gazing at the campus silhouette shrouded in twilight in the distance. His brows were furrowed, and his face lacked its usual composure and dignity, replaced by a deep weariness and an indescribable heaviness.

The footsteps came from behind, steady and rhythmic.

Wu Jiujiangcheng didn't turn around, but said in a low voice, "You've come."

"Ah."

A slightly languid yet uniquely magnetic voice rang out.

A man wearing a house uniform with a white vest peeking out from under the jacket, and with long blond hair, walked over. He was none other than Makio Mito.

He casually sat down next to Wu Jiujiang, took out a pack of cigarettes, and offered one to him.

Takehisa Eki took the cigarette, and Mito Makio lit it for him with a "click" of his lighter.

The two silently took a few puffs, the smoke rising gently into the twilight.

"Zhen Xixiong..."

Wu Jiujiangcheng's voice broke the silence first, "...I...may have to take a break from school."

Mito Makio's fingers, which were holding a cigarette, paused slightly. His dark eyes turned to Takehisa Eki, asking a question.

He knew Wu Jiujiang City well. Unless it was something extremely important, this man who valued Fengxian's honor above all else would never utter the words "drop out of school".

"Something happened at home."

Wu Jiujiang took a deep drag of his cigarette, as if trying to inhale all the frustration in his chest: "My old man at home... was in a car accident a few days ago while delivering goods."

Mito Makio's eyes sharpened instantly: "How is he?"

"My life was saved."

Wu Jiujiangcheng's voice was low: "But it will take a long time to recover. A family can't do without money, so I have to go back, support the family, and earn money."

A long silence enveloped the two of them.

Mito Makio took a deep drag on his cigarette and stubbed it out on the ground: "So, Housen... you're letting go?"

"I can't let go."

Takehisa Eki shook his head with a wry smile, looking at Mito Makio with a complicated expression: "So... that's why I came to you. I originally wanted you to be the next gang leader, but you refused."

"Isn't there also that guy, Ryuji Kurosaki? He unified the first grade in such a short time, which proves he's strong and has leadership qualities,"

Mito Makio paused at this point, then continued, "I think he is qualified and capable of becoming the next head of Housen."

"So, I hope you can join my side and stand with me in the upcoming battle."

Takehisa Ekiyo stared intently into Mito Makio's eyes: "Then, together with me... go all out to confront that brat Kurosaki Ryuji!"

"Even if the two of us join forces, Kurosaki Ryuji can still defeat us honorably and seize the position of gang leader..."

"Then I can truly rest assured. With such a person and such strength, he deserves the position of Housen Bancho. At that time, Kurosaki Ryuji's reputation will reach another level and resound throughout Housen. Perhaps he can take advantage of this momentum to lead Housen to unprecedented heights."

"Of course, no matter what the future holds, even if I lose, I can...leave in peace."

Listening to what Wu Jiujiangcheng said.

Mito Makio leaned back on the bench, looking up at the sky, his fingers unconsciously tapping his knees.

After a long silence, he shook his head: "Joining forces to deal with one person, especially a newcomer? That's not my style, Brother Wu Jiu."

Wu Jiujiang's heart sank slightly: "So you're refusing?"

Mito Makio shook his head again: "But since it's your request, I have to accept it, even if I'm unwilling!"

Chapter 110 The Talent That Can Never Get Drunk

The bar's mess was quickly cleaned up amidst the cursing of the owner, Ushiyama, and the compensation money from Kawada's unscrupulous "friendly sponsorship."

New draft beer and some food were piled up on Kurosaki Ryuji's table again, and the atmosphere was even more lively than before.

There were many more people at the table: Ueda Sashio, Aizawa Ruka, and three girls who were still shaken but curious: Ueda Yui, Konu, and Kosho.

"Come on! To celebrate Fengxian's victory and to celebrate making new friends! Cheers!"

Jun Kamata was the first to raise his beer mug and shout to everyone.

"cheers!".

"For Kurosaki-senpai's cool kick!"

"And also for Sashio's agile skills!"

Everyone laughed and clinked glasses, the cold beer foam overflowing.

The previous battle had no effect on them whatsoever; they were simply relaxed and having fun.

Yuji Ooguchi and Tomoyuki Matoba were competing to see who could drink the fastest, Taiga Narumi and Jun Kamata were chatting about something, while Rikiya Kumakiri, Hayato Shibayama, and the others were reviewing the details of the fight they had just had.

Ueda Yui, Kou Nu, and Kou Teru were chatting enthusiastically with their senior, Aizawa Ruka, about topics typical of girls.

"Hey, Ueda."

After a few drinks, Toshiyuki Saejima grew bolder and finally couldn't suppress his previous thoughts.

He looked at Sasao Ueda with a hint of provocation and defiance: "I heard you're pretty good at the Housen Northeast Branch School? I saw you take care of those small fry earlier, you were really efficient. How about it, do you dare to have a go with me?"

How do you want to compete?

Ueda Sashio turned to look at Saejima Toshiyuki.

"Hey, hey, hey... I just finished cleaning up, so don't you guys mess around!"

Upon hearing Saejima Toshiyuki's words, bar owner Ushiyama immediately became nervous.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't do anything reckless!"

Saejima Toshiyuki waved his hand to reassure Ushiyama, then turned his gaze back to Ueda Sashio: "How about we have an arm wrestling match?"

"Okay, no questions 223!"

As a young man, Ueda Sashio naturally had a competitive spirit, and he couldn't sit still after being provoked by Saejima Toshiyuki.

Soon, the two were ready.

then.

Start!

Finish!

Toshiyuki Saejima was instantly defeated.

Wow...that's impressive!

Saejima Toshiyuki did not expect that Ueda Sashio, who looked thin, had such amazing explosive power. He unleashed a very strong force from the very beginning, fast and fierce. Before Saejima could even gather his strength, he was killed.

"No... I wasn't ready!"

Somewhat unwilling to admit defeat, Toshiyuki Saejima immediately asked to do it again.

After losing twice more in a row.

Saejima Toshiyuki finally calmed down, sat down in his seat, and looked melancholy.

Ueda Sashio didn't speak, but his gaze swept over Kurosaki Ryuji, Narumi Taiga, and the others, and the meaning was clear: Do you want to give it a try?

Young people naturally have a competitive spirit.

Furthermore, Ueda Sashio had just witnessed the impressive skills of Kurosaki Ryuji, Narumi Taiga, and others, and wanted to take this opportunity to test their abilities.

"Let me do it!"

As soon as Ryuji Kurosaki spoke, the table fell silent, and all eyes turned to him.

"it is good!"

A competitive smile curled at the corner of Ueda Sashio's lips.

He acknowledged that Ryuji Kurosaki was very strong, but he didn't think he would lose to any of his peers.

Ueda Sashio then flexed his wrists and placed his elbows firmly on the table: "Nice to meet you."

"A simple competition like this isn't very interesting. How about we add something extra? The loser will have to drink a glass of the boss's special 'oolong tea' as a penalty. How about that?"

With a faint smile on his lips, Ryuji Kurosaki sat down in front of Sashio Ueda and asked.

"no problem!"

Ueda Sashio answered without hesitation.

"Good, that's straightforward!"

Ryuji Kurosaki then placed his elbow on the table and grasped Sashio Ueda's hand.

The moment their hands clenched, an invisible tension instantly spread out.

Narumi Taiga, Kamata Jun, and the others held their breath, and even Saejima Toshiyuki recovered from his depression.

Ruka Aizawa, Yui Ueda, Konami, and Teru all looked over at the same time.

"Go for it, Kurosaki-kun!"

Ruka Aizawa immediately added fuel.

"Go for it, Kurosaki-san!"

"Keep up the good work, Ueda-senpai!"

Ueda Yui, Xiao Nu, and Xiao Zhao also cheered for the two.

"start!"

Yuji Ooguchi volunteered to be the referee.

Ryuji Kurosaki and Sashio Ueda's arms tensed instantly.

The muscle lines were clearly defined and bulging under the light.

Although Ueda Sashio's arm circumference is not exaggerated, he can unleash amazing power.

His eyes were sharp, and all his strength was concentrated in his arms, trying to overpower his opponent in an instant.

However, he felt as if his hand was pressing down on a volcano that was awakening.

Ryuji Kurosaki's arms didn't seem to be exerting excessive force, and the muscles weren't even overly bulging, yet they contained a bottomless, steady, and mountain-like power.

The two men's arms remained locked in a stalemate in the center of the table for a full five seconds.

Ueda Sashio's forehead veins throbbed slightly. He had already used all his strength, but he felt as if his opponent's wrist was welded to the table and did not move an inch.

Ryuji Kurosaki's expression remained calm, and even his breathing was perfectly steady.

next second!

As if infused with new power, Kurosaki Ryuji's arm began to press down with a slow, firm, and unstoppable motion!

Ueda Sashio's pupils contracted slightly. He gritted his teeth, his arm muscles bulging to their limit, trying to resist this overwhelming force.

But it was all in vain!

His wrist was pressed down onto the table, little by little, with undeniable force.

"boom!"

A dull thud, not loud but exceptionally clear.

Ueda Sashio's hand was firmly pressed onto the table by Kurosaki Ryuji.

The entire audience fell silent for a moment, then erupted in gasps!

"Wow!!!"

"Boss is awesome!!"

"too strong!"

Ueda Sashio looked at his hand that had been pinned down, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

He lost!
