Tokyo: Starting with the Gear-Conscious Male Gods!

Chapter 10 Masako Takahashi panicked. How did the two of them start fighting?

Japan's internet industry is highly developed, and even in 2012, the news that Shirakawa Yuta was going to fight Hoshino Tsukigen quickly spread within a small circle of the school.

After all, both of them are very famous. Shirakawa Yuta goes without saying; even though school has been going on for so long, he still gets love letters from time to time.

Although no one dared to give Hoshino Tsukizuru a love letter, her cool and beautiful appearance and status as a wealthy heiress made her stand out at school.

For example, at least half of the members of the kendo club, if not all, are there because of Hoshino Tsukigen.

Even Shirakawa Yuta had to admit that while he did like kendo when he joined the club, he was also influenced by it to some extent.

After all, just as no one can tell Shizuka Kudo that things are different, who can refuse Chiaki Kuriyama?

……

In the e-sports club, a first-year high school student was standing aside, idly browsing the school forum.

The reason he stood aside wasn't because he had been bullied; it was just that his teacher left school a little late today, which prevented him from getting a game console at the e-sports club.

I had no choice but to wait in line at the back and take turns playing with others.

While scrolling through the page, I suddenly noticed that the popularity of a post was steadily increasing, and it seemed to be gaining momentum.

Curious, he clicked on it.

After seeing what had happened, he suddenly shouted:

"OMG, everyone check the school forum! Someone's challenging us to a fight! It's a brawl!"

"What?!"

"What? How is this possible?"

Upon hearing his shout, the surrounding players put down their game controllers or joysticks and turned on their phones to watch.

Although Japanese gangster culture is prevalent, fights between boys still occasionally occur in some high schools.

But they were from Mingde Private School.

In Japan's top private elite schools, if a fight breaks out, there is only one consequence: both parties will be expelled.

There are exceptions among the crowd.

Instead of taking out her phone, Masako Takahashi took advantage of her opponent's distraction while looking at her phone and quickly unleashed a series of rising dragon punches.

The game, which was initially at a disadvantage, was instantly reversed!

"Autumn beans, sack of potatoes!"

Seeing this, the opponent sitting next to him didn't care about anything else and threw his phone aside, wanting to continue playing.

But it was already too late. With her last tap, the "YOU WIN" message popped up on the screen.

Masako Takahashi immediately clapped and cheered, "Wow, I won!"

If Shirakawa Yuta were to witness this scene, he would be quite surprised that his usually quiet deskmate could have such a side to him.

"Quick, quick, let's play another round!"

She wasn't interested in what others had just said about "someone challenging her to a fight," and she wouldn't take out her phone to check. She didn't want to waste her precious gaming time of the day on such a trivial matter.

By this time, the other students had also seen the post that the person had mentioned, and their initial excitement instantly waned.

"What? They're both from the kendo club, this is clearly just training, and you call this a challenge?"

"Exactly, if this is what you call a brawl, then aren't the karate club members fighting hand-to-hand every day?"

"Who's yelling? Isn't this interrupting my game?"

The group began searching for the person who had just shouted, only to find that he had found an empty seat where the original owner had gone to get his phone and was frantically pressing the controller.

Everyone immediately realized they'd been tricked!

Good-natured laughter filled the air, but the student whose seat had been taken kept yelling "Baka!" in anger.

The girl who had just been playing against Masako Takahashi smiled too. As she was about to put her phone away and continue playing the game, she inadvertently saw the names of the two people she had been playing against.

She actually knew both of them.

"Yuta Shirakawa and Tsukizo Hoshino... Are all first-year students this brave these days? They actually dared to challenge the captain directly. Are they out of their minds? And he's so handsome, turns out he's an idiot."

Without thinking too much about it, I put my phone aside and started playing the game again.

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener; Masako Takahashi's fingers, which were pressing the game controller, suddenly paused for a moment.

Shirakawa Yuta and Hoshino Tsukune...

How did they end up fighting?

Masako Takahashi felt inexplicably flustered. In order to get rid of Tsukizo Hoshino and not want to pretend to be a lesbian with him, she lied and said that she liked her classmate Yuta Shirakawa very much.

Surely the conflict couldn't have started because of this?

Thinking of this, she suddenly couldn't continue playing the game.

After unplugging the old handle she had brought and stuffing it into her bag, she turned and ran outside.

The opponent who had just chosen a hero and was about to fight her stood there stunned, watching her departing figure in disbelief.

"What? Did the sun rise in the west today? Takahashi-kun actually left early."

……

"I can give you another chance. If you regret it now, I can pretend it never happened."

With a face mask tucked under his arm, Shirakawa Yuta stood tall and straight, looking at the imperious Hoshino Tsukizuru opposite him with a light laugh:

"I just hope that Director Hoshino won't change his mind later."

"Ha, overestimating yourself."

Seeing that Shirakawa Yuta was completely unrepentant, Hoshino Tsukigen stopped talking.

She put on the face mask that was also tucked under her armpit, and stood holding a bamboo sword.

His aura instantly became sharp, like a gleaming sword, its edge fully revealed.

When Shirakawa Yuta put on the mask, his demeanor also changed.

Unlike a sharp sword that gleams with a cold light, it is more like a treasured blade that has been sealed away for many years, calm and restrained, yet exuding a dangerous aura.

After sensing the change in Shirakawa Yuta's aura, Hoshino Tsukigen was quite surprised, and his previous slight contempt instantly disappeared.

She didn't know where the sudden aura emanating from the other person came from; she just suddenly felt that if she dared to underestimate them even slightly, she might really be the one to lose today.

Hoshino Tsukigen took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and nodded slightly to the coach.

After confirming that both sides were ready, the coach shouted, "Start!"

The air in the room seemed to freeze the moment the two sides finished exchanging greetings.

After gripping the bamboo sword tightly, Shirakawa Yuta's aura suddenly changed, like a newly unsheathed treasured sword, its sharpness bursting forth.

Two sharp auras collided silently in mid-air, instantly escalating the tension of their confrontation.

There was no probing glance between them, only the tacit understanding and vigilance between experts.

Without any unnecessary delays, Shirakawa Yuta launched the first attack.

Just like Murata-senpai before him, he also wielded his sword with both hands, lunged forward, and charged at Murata's face to deliver a powerful blow.

His attacks are just faster and more ferocious!

As the bamboo sword he swung around emitted an even sharper crackling sound in the air, Shirakawa Yuta also calculated the extent of his opponent's retreat. He wanted to see how his opponent would respond to this move!
