At Tokyo Station, the Sōbu Line was running smoothly. Over thirty Tokyo University students, dressed casually, stood in small groups of three to five, chatting at the station.
"This time, I've really troubled everyone. I'll treat you all to a meal when I find the time."
Yukino Yukinoshita wore a pair of close-fitting trousers and a short-sleeved top. Her short hair was neat, her demeanor heroic and refreshing, like a colorful butterfly fluttering through the crowd, interacting with a small group.
"No trouble at all, Sister Yukino. With your command, how dare we not obey."
"We're looking forward to Sister Yukino's treat!"
"Is there anything the juniors want to eat?"
"There's too much I want to eat. When the time comes, everyone can gather their thoughts and vote on where to eat."
"Then wouldn't I be eating Sister Yukino into poverty?"
"If you guys can eat me into poverty, then you really need to try harder."
"My goodness, so Sister Yukino is rich after all! My bad, my bad!"
…
After chatting with a few people, Yukino Yukinoshita looked around, seemingly searching for someone.
"Sister Yukino, are you looking for Fujiwara-kun? We just Line-messaged him; he'll be here soon."
A tall classmate said playfully.
The others, hearing this, immediately knitted their brows and squinted.
Yukino Yukinoshita had always had a good relationship with Fujiwara Tetsu and was quite close to him. Coupled with her proactive nature, as long as one wasn't blind, one could see Yukino Yukinoshita's interest in Fujiwara Tetsu.
If it were an average student, to be pursued by someone as beautiful and refined as Yukino Yukinoshita, from a good family background, the difficulty would definitely be low.
But if the object of affection was Fujiwara Tetsu, then it might not be certain.
Yukino Yukinoshita paid no mind to the teasing of those around her. She had already made her feelings so obvious; there was no need to be coy anymore.
A figure slowly walked over from the distance. Her eyes brightened, and she left the crowd to greet him.
"Morning, Tetsu-kun."
"Morning, Sister Yukino."
"I thought you weren't coming, Tetsu-kun."
Yukino Yukinoshita's voice carried a hint of childish complaint.
"How could that be? Since I agreed to Sister Yukino, unless it's something particularly important, I will definitely keep my appointment."
"Ohh, so there are still things more important than me, after all."
Yukino Yukinoshita drew out her words, seemingly teasing, yet also seemingly acting coy.
But in an instant, she smiled brightly, pulled Fujiwara Tetsu's sleeve, and ran off: "Come on, the train's about to arrive!"
When they arrived at the station, everyone greeted Fujiwara Tetsu.
Everyone's tone implicitly carried respect.
Although Fujiwara Tetsu had almost never participated in any karate club activities since day one, when he appeared, he naturally became the focus and center of attention for everyone.
Sano, the president of the karate club, was tall and well-built. He walked directly towards Fujiwara Tetsu.
The other members, seeing this, were secretly startled. Club president, don't provoke Fujiwara Tetsu, alright?
He was someone who had truly killed people, and his karate strength, while impressive, was far inferior to Fujiwara Tetsu's.
Everyone thought Sano was being arrogant and coming to pick a fight. Who knew that when he arrived in front of Fujiwara Tetsu, he first glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita, his expression a little regretful, and then slightly bowed his head, saying:
"Fujiwara-kun, do you still remember what I told you before? About the National Karate Tournament?"
"I still remember. What about it?"
"Hmm, if Fujiwara-kun still wants to sign up, my dojo can directly help Fujiwara-kun register. That way, you won't need any specific requirements for the preliminary round. However, the pre-selection might require Fujiwara-kun to go to Chiba to participate."
"Are you from Chiba?"
"Yes, my family and the Yukinoshita family have always had a pretty good relationship."
Sano looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, his expression tinged with bitterness.
He and Yukino Yukinoshita were similar in age, and with both families having a good relationship, it wasn't an exaggeration to call them childhood sweethearts. However, Sano had always treated Yukino Yukinoshita like a younger sister. Until one day, when his emotions first stirred, he suddenly realized Yukino Yukinoshita was a great beauty and wanted to pursue her, taking advantage of their close proximity.
With his own abilities, karate could get him into the top eight of the national tournament. He was also a top student at Chiba University, from a good family, and had the identity of a childhood friend. Sano felt that Yukino Yukinoshita was already within his grasp.
However, contrary to his wishes, Yukino Yukinoshita had always maintained a distance from him, still treating him as a friend but absolutely not being overly intimate, and even explicitly rejecting him.
Sano had always thought he wasn't sincere enough, so he continued to pursue her until he was finally enlightened by a slap from Fujiwara Tetsu.
Yukino Yukinoshita really disliked him. No matter how much he fawned over her, it was useless. In fact, his overly proactive behavior had already annoyed Yukino Yukinoshita.
However, Yukino Yukinoshita was the kind of person who didn't speak her mind directly or turn hostile. She simply endured it.
After realizing this, Sano decided to give up on women and pursue his career!
Putting aside the uncomfortable laughter, Sano had also been taught a lesson last time. Now, seeing his sincere attitude, Fujiwara Tetsu also agreed: "Then I'll trouble you, President Sano."
"No trouble at all, no trouble!" Sano said repeatedly, greatly pleased.
For anything that could show his face and let the general public know about him, Fujiwara Tetsu would actively pursue it. All of this was preparation for his future entry into the political world.
Of course, those things that couldn't be known by the public could only be savored by himself.
Sano and the others left. The train arrived just in time. This station was not the starting point, and there were no seats on the train. Fujiwara Tetsu and Yukino Yukinoshita stood on the side of the train that didn't open, holding tightly to the handrail above their heads.
"Currently, karate is very popular in Chiba. The number of people signing up for the national tournament is much higher than ten years ago, especially the preliminaries, which are very troublesome and require many rounds of elimination."
Yukino Yukinoshita stood in front of Fujiwara Tetsu, their faces close to each other. This allowed Fujiwara Tetsu to smell her faint, elegant fragrance.
"Sister Yukino, what do you want to say?"
"When the time comes, Tetsu-kun, if you participate in the preliminaries in Chiba Prefecture, traveling back and forth will be very troublesome. You can stay at my place. I'll make sure to welcome you."
Yukino Yukinoshita brushed the stray hair from her temples with her hand.
"Is your family's house big?"
"My family's house is big enough to accommodate you, Tetsu-kun."
Yukino Yukinoshita didn't understand Fujiwara Tetsu's meaning.
"Well, if I have to live in Chiba Prefecture, then I'll go to your place."
"I need to tell my mom and let her prepare."
"This matter hasn't even been finalized yet."
"An important guest like Tetsu-kun needs to be prepared for in advance."
Yukino Yukinoshita pouted and smiled.
…
Half an hour later, everyone arrived at Chiba Prefecture Station.
Sōbu High sent a campus shuttle bus to pick up the Tokyo University students who had arrived.
On the bus, Fujiwara Tetsu and Yukino Yukinoshita sat in the same row. In front of them was Hori-senpai.
"Hori-senpai, did you contact your old high school this time?" Fujiwara Tetsu asked.
Hori-senpai adjusted his glasses: "A teacher from Kōdo Ikusei Senior High School found me. They hope to get some help from our school to make contact with the outside world and explore the latest digital combat tactics."
"This also thanks to Sister Yukino. If it were just me, I probably wouldn't have the ability to help my Tokyo University classmates."
Fujiwara Tetsu secretly nodded. Kōdo Ikusei Senior High School wasn't just for a general Sōbu High alliance; their goal was very clear. They were also there to promote Tokyo University.
Kōdo Ikusei Senior High School didn't have a good reputation among high schools, but Tokyo University, being a top university, wouldn't care about such things.
"Hori-senpai, there's no need to be so humble. It's a joy for everyone to play together, and I'm quite happy about it," Yukino Yukinoshita said with a smile.
Fujiwara Tetsu felt that the reason Yukino Yukinoshita was so enthusiastic could be to find fun and to experience some excitement.
After another twenty minutes, they finally arrived at their destination: Sōbu High, a famous public school in Chiba Prefecture.
The school was adorned with colorful banners at the campus entrance, proclaiming messages like "Welcome Tokyo University Students to the Sōbu High Sports Festival."
These banners were hung high, and the text was large, as if fearing others wouldn't see them.
This time, the connection between Sōbu High and Tokyo University was not a top-down relationship; it was merely an initiative by the student clubs. However, Sōbu High still showed a hundred and twenty thousand points of sincerity.
Look, even the top students from Tokyo University are coming to our school to participate in the sports festival together. What is this? This is face!
Your family's children want to go to a higher level of education, and they don't choose our Sōbu High? Coming here means you can interact with the top talents from Tokyo University!
The car entered the school gate and stopped in the open space.
The Tokyo University students in the car also became excited.
"Look, they're all real JK schoolgirls!"
"Brothers, your chance has come. Let's see who can pick up a few juniors."
The boys held their breath, feeling a surge of hot blood.
The girls all frowned: "If you dare to trick our high school juniors, we'll report you!"
"Seniors, you can't say that! We were also high school students last year!"
"Exactly, exactly. If a junior wants to date me, how can we refuse? That would disappoint people."
One by one, the Tokyo University students puffed out their chests, full of pride and confidence. They truly had the capital for confidence. For example, only one or two people from Sōbu High could get into Tokyo University each year, and more often than not, there might not even be one.
But as soon as they got off the car, their faces darkened. They did indeed hear the girls' cheers, but the objects of those cheers were not them at all.
"Wow, it's Lord Fujiwara!"
"Lord Fujiwara, look here! Look here!"
"So handsome, with white teeth!! I thought Lord Fujiwara was handsome in the videos, but seeing him in person, he's even more handsome than in the videos!"
"Lord Fujiwara, look at me! Let me take a picture with you, okay?"
"I… I want to get a room with you!!!"
No one knew which high school girl was so bold; her words were utterly shocking.
"Hahahahaha!!"
"My goodness, her guts are huge."
"It seems to be a third-year senior."
"I… I actually want to get a room with Lord Fujiwara too…"
…
The entire scene completely descended into chaos.
"You're really popular."
Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes held an unfeigned smile, but her words were too sarcastic.
