Upon seeing this, Yuji Ooguchi exclaimed in regret.

Those members of Class 3-B who supported Yosuke Taniguchi breathed a sigh of relief.

"He can even dribble the ball to his feet. It seems I overestimated Ryuji Kurosaki."

"Yes, although the speed is fast, the basic skills are too poor."

"I was really startled by him just now. It turns out he's just fast, but his dribbling is terrible."

"In basketball, especially in one-on-one games, speed is useless; ultimately, you have to score points."

"It seems there's no need to worry about Taniguchi. With his skills, he's bound to win."

"No matter what, it would be too outrageous for Taniguchi, as the captain of our No. 3 Middle School basketball team, to lose to an amateur."

Following Ryuji Kurosaki's performance, the members of Class 3-B went through another round of analysis.

I started to feel again that Ryuji Kurosaki posed no threat to Yosuke Taniguchi.

Even Yoshio Taniguchi breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was startled. It turns out it's not like that at all. I must have been too careless just now. I almost embarrassed myself."

Yosuke Taniguchi thought to himself as he took the basketball back from a third-year B-class player, a confident smile returning to his lips.

"Hey! Ryuji Kurosaki, all I can say is that you've missed your only chance to score. I hereby announce that you will not get a single point from now on."

As Yoshio Taniguchi dribbled the ball to the three-point line, he raised his left hand, making a gesture as if he was about to completely crush Ryuji Kurosaki.

He looked incredibly arrogant.

"Alright, come on!"

Ryuji Kurosaki pushed up his glasses and adopted a defensive stance with a blank expression.

"Next, let me teach you what a real dribbling and scoring looks like."

After speaking, Yosuke Taniguchi quickly dribbled the ball, attempting to break into the paint from the right side.

Ryuji Kurosaki took a step.

Hiroshi Taniguchi accelerated again, passing right next to Ryuji Kurosaki and cutting completely into the paint.

"They shook them off in an instant; they were nothing special after all..."

With these thoughts in mind, Yoshio Taniguchi lifted the basketball in his hand and executed a standard three-step layup.

Just as the basketball in my hand was about to reach its highest point and then be thrown into the basket.

Yoshio Taniguchi felt as if something terrifying had suddenly appeared on his back.

His eyes darted around, and he glanced at the person in the corner of his eye.

Why is there a wall behind me?

No, it's not a wall.

It's Ryuji Kurosaki!

boom!

Ryuji Kurosaki leaped high into the air, his right hand swinging out in a wide arc, and slapped the basketball in mid-air.

Block shot!

Furthermore, Ryuji Kurosaki's body collided with Hiroshi Taniguchi, who was in mid-air.

Ryuji Kurosaki sent them flying, ball and all.

Hiroshi Taniguchi was sent flying several meters.

Hit the ground hard.

He grimaced and howled in pain.

At that moment, the entire venue fell into silence.

Everyone stared in disbelief as Kurosaki Ryuji landed steadily on the ground.

Each of them had their mouths agape, as if they were about to dislocate.

"This this..."

Am I hallucinating?

"Taniguchi was actually sent flying by Kurosaki Ryuji's swatting attack, ball and all!"

Especially the members of Class 3B, everyone was incredulous.

Only Yuji Oguchi cheered after a brief moment of surprise.

"Our leader is so cool, awesome! Shiba, Tsuji, don't just stand there panting, let's cheer for our leader together! Let's get this party started!"

Yuji Ooguchi was also pulling Shiba Man and Tsuji along.

"Bastard, bastard..."

Lying on the ground, as the pain subsided slightly, Yoshihisa Taniguchi couldn't help but curse.

The thought of being blocked in front of so many people, even being slapped away, was incredibly humiliating, and fueled his anger.

"Hey! The so-called captain of the No. 3 Middle School basketball team shouldn't be so weak as to just admit defeat, right?"

"I asked Kurosaki Ryuji sarcastically."

"How can it be!"

Provoked by this, Yoshihisa Taniguchi immediately got up from the ground.

"Taniguchi... Forget it, just admit defeat."

The physical education teacher of Group B in the third year seemed to have noticed something and stepped forward to try to persuade him.

"Impossible. He's just a lowly delinquent. How could I possibly admit defeat?"

Yoshu Taniguchi said defiantly.

"Perhaps he is indeed a delinquent, but his physique and skills should be superior to yours, and I promised your father I would take care of you..."

"Teacher, what nonsense are you talking about? How could that guy be stronger than me? Anyway, don't worry about what happened today."

"You can't disagree, I will forcibly stop you..."

"If you dare, I'll expose the fact that you secretly accepted bribes from my dad."

Completely enraged, Yoshio Taniguchi was not listening to anything anyone was saying.

The PE teacher's face immediately darkened when he heard this.

"Fine!"

The PE teacher told the other students in Group B of the third grade that they had free time, and then headed straight for the teaching building, not bothering to pay any more attention.

"That's right."

Yoshu Taniguchi glanced at the PE teacher's retreating figure, then tossed the ball to Ryuji Kurosaki: "It's your turn to attack now."

"I'm not polite."

After saying that, Kurosaki Ryuji dribbled the ball towards the inside, deliberately slowing down a bit.

Yoshio Taniguchi hurriedly followed, trying to stop Ryuji Kurosaki.

The moment they made contact, Ryuji Kurosaki rammed into Yoshu Taniguchi with force.

Then, Hiroshi Taniguchi completely lost his balance and fell flat on his back.

He was in so much pain that his face was contorted, but the damage was clearly not as severe as the first time.

After all, they are a basketball team, and they have private coaches who have conducted competitive training.

"Looks like their defense is better..."

As Kurosaki Ryuji thought to himself, he took three steps and made a layup.

Avoid ending too quickly.

Intentionally make the ball miss the rim and go directly out of bounds.

"I didn't score, it's your turn."

Ryuji Kurosaki immediately tossed the ball back to Yosuke Taniguchi with a blank expression.

Yoshu Taniguchi clutched his chest as he got up and returned to the three-point line.

After taking a few deep breaths to steady my breathing and calm myself down, I finally managed to catch my breath.

"It's a bit dangerous to get past Kurosaki Ryuji, so let's shoot!"

After devising a plan, Yoshio Taniguchi immediately jumped up.

He is quite confident in his three-point shooting accuracy.

Just as he was about to shoot the basketball, he found that Ryuji Kurosaki had reappeared in front of him like a wall.

"Oops!"

Yoshio Taniguchi immediately realized that something terrible had happened, but it was too late.

boom!

Ryuji Kurosaki once again swatted Yosuke Taniguchi to the ground like a mosquito, along with the ball.

Yoshu Taniguchi felt intense pain in his body once again and cried out in agony.

It took him quite a while to get up again.

"Now it's my turn to attack."

Then, like Yosuke Taniguchi, Ryuji Kurosaki took a three-pointer, but missed.

Then it was Taniguchi Hiroshi's turn to attack.

This time he opted for a pull-up jumper.

He was once again sent flying by Ryuji Kurosaki.

Then, time and again, the roles of offense and defense shifted constantly.

Yoshu Taniguchi had no idea how many times he had been slapped away.

In the end, Ryuji Kurosaki didn't even bother to pretend anymore. The PE teacher was gone, so he just grabbed the ball and casually threw it out of bounds.

The moment Yosuke Taniguchi regained possession of the ball, he trembled violently.

It felt as if what he held in his hands wasn't a basketball, but something terrifying; tears welled up in his eyes, and he regretted not listening to his PE teacher.

"I...I...can I not fight? Can I just admit defeat?"

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Boss is Truly Terrifying (Bonus Chapter)

"I...I...can I not fight? Can I just admit defeat?"

Yosuke Taniguchi stood there, trembling, clutching a basketball, looking as if he was about to cry.

"Hey! We haven't scored a single point yet, it's 0-0, which means it's only just begun. Why are you giving up already?"

When Kurosaki Ryuji said this, Taniguchi Yoshu was dumbfounded.

He was internally screaming, "Why is it still 0-0? It's all because you deliberately knock the ball out of bounds every time! Otherwise, I would have lost 0-6 by now!"

Even if Yosuke Taniguchi were completely stupid, he could tell at this point that Ryuji Kurosaki was doing it on purpose.

But he didn't say these words aloud.

Because he was completely too scared, he could only say, "I really can't take it anymore. My whole body is in so much pain, it feels like my bones aren't even mine. I give up! From now on, I'll avoid you whenever I see you, and I swear I'll never try anything with Saeko Busujima again."

"How can that be? A real man shouldn't give up just because of a little bump and bruise!"

Ryuji Kurosaki continued to persuade him.

Everyone in Class 3B looked at Taniguchi Yoshu, whose hands and feet were covered in bruises, his face was swollen, and blood was still gushing from his forehead. He could be described as covered in wounds. Then they looked at Kurosaki Ryuji.
