"you are?"
"It's me. Don't you remember? The one who was a year younger than you, Kushida-senpai, in middle school, Yagami Takuya?"
The boy seemed a little embarrassed because he was not recognized by his junior high school senior and pointed at himself eagerly.
Uh……
Kushida Kikyo withdrew her gaze and looked at Wu Yi, still confused, with the words "Who is that guy?" almost written on her face.
Wu Yi shrugged silently, indicating that if she didn't know, then he didn't know either, after all, they were not in the same junior high school.
Fortunately, this was not a problem for Kikyo Kushida, who had strong social skills. Although she still had no impression of the other party, she quickly put on an expression of sudden enlightenment and walked away from Wu Yi.
"Yagami...ah! Hey, is that Yagami-kun?"
"Yes, I am that Yagami. Long time no see."
The first-year boy named Yagami Takuya said with a smile, extending his hand as an invitation.
"Although this may sound a little sudden, I still want to ask, would you be willing to form a partner with me for this special exam, Kushida-senpai?" +
As he spoke, Takuya Yagami took out his mobile phone and displayed his own panel from OAA. It can be seen that his rating in the academic ability column is A.
"Uh, is it really okay for you to team up with me? If it's Mr. Yagami, wouldn't it be more advantageous to team up with someone who studies better?" Kushida Kikyo said politely.
"Well, that being said, I'm new to this school and I don't know anything yet, so if possible I'd rather team up with someone I can trust."
Takuya Yagami said this very nicely, making Kikyo Kushida feel embarrassed to refuse...at least on the surface, that's the case.
"Then...can you let me think about it for a moment?"
Out of caution towards the boy in front of him named Yagami Takuya, who claimed to be his junior high school classmate, Kushida Kikyo resorted to a delaying tactic.
Of course, Yasha agreed to this.
"Of course. I won't team up with the others for now. I'll wait for your response, Kushida-senpai."
"Uh-huh."
Kushida Kikyo nodded with a smile on her face, thinking in her heart that she should send this little brother away quickly.
However, Takuya Yagami did not leave. Instead, he looked at Wu Yi behind him as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Come to think of it, could this senior be Kushida-senpai's..."
He deliberately prolonged the tone, giving Kushida Kikyo enough room to admit or deny it herself.
"That's right~"
Taking the opportunity to retreat back to Wu Yi's side, Kikyo Kushida took the opportunity to hold her hand and show intimacy.
When Takuya Yagami saw this, a glimmer of understanding immediately appeared in his eyes, and he smiled and stretched out his hand again.
"Hello, senior. I'm Takuya Yagami from Class 1B."
"Wu Yi."
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Since the other party had a good attitude, Wu Yi naturally didn't need to use a big stick to deal with him. He just shook the hand normally.
However, the moment their hands touched, Wu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Unlike the soft hands that one would expect from a good student, Takuya Yagami's palms felt quite rough to his touch, and judging from the shape of the hand bones, they were clearly the hands of a person who had practiced fighting techniques since childhood.
Just when Wu Yi couldn't help but complain in his heart that Kikyo, your "junior brother" is really a hidden talent, he suddenly felt that Yagami Takuya's hand holding his palm actually began to slowly exert force.
oh? interesting.
With a slight raise of his lips to show that he accepted the challenge, Wu Yi also began to increase his strength, and the increase was almost completely synchronized with Yagami Takuya. Therefore, to Kikyo Kushida who was standing aside, it seemed that the two of them were simply holding hands and looking at each other, and then not moving.
huh?
The girl tilted her head curiously.
The two of them continued to exert force like this, until a certain point, when Yagami Takuya relaxed without any warning.
As soon as he loosened his grip, Wu Yi also loosened her grip. The two hands that had just been tightly clasped together separated very naturally in less than half a second.
"Oh my, I thought Senior Wu Yi looked a lot like someone I knew before, but it seems I was wrong."
He made up an excuse to get away with it, then calmly put the hand he had just shaken back into his trouser pocket and waved with his other hand.
"See you later, Kushida-senpai and Goi-senpai."
"Yeah, see you later, Yagami-kun~"
After seeing off Takuya Yagami with a perfect smile, Kikyo Kushida turned around and looked at Mr. Wu who was standing beside her with an inexplicable smile on his face.
"What happened between you and that Yagami just now?"
"Nothing, he just wanted to test me, so I accompanied him in the demonstration. Oh, and by the way, this junior of yours, Yagami, is probably not your real junior, so it's better not to get involved with him."
Wu Yi paused for a moment and smiled even more happily.
"But at this moment, he should be very anxious to find ice to apply to his hands."
Volume 333: Chapter Well said, but I refuse
On the other side, at the corner platform of the secondary staircase connecting the first and second grade floors, which was located in the teaching building opposite to the main staircase where students and teachers passed by all year round, Takuya Yagami, who had just left the second grade B class half a minute ago, was standing in front of the stair handrail.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it..."
He looked out through the narrow ventilation window through the safety railing in front of him at the beautiful spring scenery outside. His eyes were gloomy and his face was distorted. He exuded a cold and violent aura from head to toe. He was muttering to himself, completely different from the image of a good boy he had been before.
The hands in his pockets were still throbbing with pain. That was the price Takuya Yagami paid for his arrogance.
Just as he was cursing, there were light footsteps coming from down the stairs behind him.
Takuya Yagami immediately became alert and stopped chanting. He turned his head slightly and looked behind and below out of the corner of his eye.
The person walking up the stairs was a first-year girl with red hair tied in twin ponytails. She had a nice figure and a pretty face. When she smiled, the corners of her eyes turned slightly downward, giving her the feeling of a devilish schoolgirl. The over-the-knee socks that slightly stretched her legs made her look a little timid.
"Good afternoon, Takuya-kun~"
Vaguely noticing the other party's terrifying gaze, the red-haired girl with twin ponytails smiled and greeted him.
“Tianze…”
After seeing who was coming, Yagami Takuya let down his guard a little, but his voice remained cold.
"Don't call me that. Don't forget that you and I are not so close in this school."
"Hey, hey~ Then Yagami-san, this should be fine?"
The first-year girl called Tianze changed her name and still kept smiling.
"By the way, Yagami-kun, you said before that you wanted to make a test, so, what was the result of the test?"
"..."
Yagami Taku did not respond immediately. He was silent for a moment and then slowly pulled out his right hand which had been in his pocket.
hiss……
Tianze Yixia took a deep breath in his heart.
It was a hand that was completely swollen and could barely grasp things normally.
At first glance, the injuries would almost make people think that someone was tied to a torture chair and beaten with a hammer from the base of the palm to each fingertip.
"This...what on earth happened? Why did it become like this?"
"Nothing happened, just shook hands."
Of course it can't be as simple as it sounds, only Takuya Yagami himself knows the answer.
When he and Wu Yi were competing in grip strength before, both of them had maintained a very friendly force increase curve at the beginning. As long as one of them showed a slightly strange expression, the other would react in time and brake and reduce the force.
But even when Yagami Takuya used 80% of his strength, the other party still looked calm and composed, as if it was a normal handshake, and was even able to continue to apply force steadily.
He, who has always been arrogant and conceited, could not accept such a defeat.
So when he finally let go, Takuya Yagami was a little clever.
He deliberately let go first to show weakness, and when Wu Yi let go as well, he suddenly grabbed back with great force.
He had intended to use this opportunity to fight back, but he didn't expect that the moment he exerted force, the opponent also grabbed it back with great force, and his force was faster, harder and stronger than his.
At that moment, Yagami Takuya almost thought that his hand bones were going to be crushed.
Although fortunately it wasn't actually crushed in the end, the hand did become what it is now.
"You actually lost in the grip strength contest. Yagami, you are the strongest among us..."
After walking a little closer and observing more, Tianze Yixia couldn't help but be amazed.
It seemed that even his good friends didn't want to be seen in such a defeated state, so Yagami Takuya turned his face away and put his hands back into his pockets.
"It doesn't matter. No matter what happens, I will never help that guy. I have to expel Kiyotaka Ayanokouji from school myself!"
"Well, as long as the goal can be achieved, nothing else matters. By the way, what about contacting the Wu clan?"
Tianze Yixia's tone was a little regretful.
"According to the information, the opponent is a true combat genius. This is a rare opportunity to test and obtain data. Isn't it a bit of a waste to just throw it aside?"
"That's your business, I'm going to go to the shopping mall now."
After saying this in a haughty manner, Yagami Takuya turned around, brushed past his colleague, the red-haired girl with twin ponytails, and headed downstairs.
……
The lunch passed by like this, and in the happy daze after lunch, the time came to the end of the second class in the afternoon.
In the second grade class A classroom, as the teacher announced the end of get out of class and left the classroom, everyone began to pack up their things and prepare to retreat.
Wu Yi was also packing up.
However, just as he turned off the tablet and stuffed it back into the desk, and was about to get up to hook the power bank to the charging station at the back of the classroom for charging, Yukinoshita Haruno, who was sitting next to him and had already finished packing, came over and called him.
"Oh, yes, is Wu Yi free later? I have something I want to discuss with you."
"To discuss something? About this special exam?"
"That's it."
"Um……"
Wu Yi glanced toward the front of the classroom and saw that Kikyo Kushida and Megumi Karuizawa seemed to be discussing with their respective small groups of girls about where to go shopping later, so she nodded.
"sure, no problem."
"Thank you. Let's meet at the back door on the first floor of the teaching building. It won't take long."
"it is good."
The perspective changed, and when Wu Yi left the classroom and came to the back door on the first floor, Yukinoshita Haruno was already waiting there.
In the afternoon sun, a girl with shoulder-length black hair stood in front of a beverage vending machine, clicking and scanning the code skillfully.
Then, accompanied by two clang sounds from the vending machine, she bent down and took out two cans of warm canned coffee from the pickup port at the bottom and handed one of them to Wu Yi.
"Then I'll get straight to the point."
After opening the pull ring and taking a sip of the warm brown liquid in the can, Yukinoshita Haruno went straight to the point.
"Actually, I thought seriously about the matching partners for this special exam, and finally came up with an overwhelming advantage that our class has that other classes definitely don't have."
"Oh, so impressive, then what is this advantage?" Wu Yi asked after taking a sip of coffee.
"If you ask me, the advantage lies with you, Wu Yi."
"……Um?"
Wu's fingers holding the coffee froze and his eyes instantly changed from expectation to confusion.
Why is it him again?
Yukinoshita Haruno began to explain tactfully.
"Well, of course I'm not referring to your own talents, Wu Yi, but the power you have as the president of the student union. According to my understanding, all the forces of the first-year classes have been clearly divided and are not a group of scattered sands. Each class has a corresponding leader. If we can allow the class leader to join the student union in exchange for providing a corresponding high-quality partner, then the problem of partners for everyone in our class will be solved."
"Well, that's a good idea indeed."
Wu Yi answered very straightforwardly.
"But, I refuse."
