Uchiha Ryo's body leaned back slightly, easily dodging Ryuju Momo's side kick, and then he grabbed her ankle with one hand.
"So violent. I'm not with that Kojima guy. I was just bored and wanted to check out the rooftop."
Seeing her foot caught by him, Ryuju Momo snorted coldly, tensed her whole body, and leaped up, using her other foot to kick at Uchiha Ryo's chest.
Uchiha Ryo, however, instantly let go, dodged to Ryuju Momo's side in a flash, and gave her a firm slap on the back.
Ryuju Momo, who was in mid-air, was forced into a forward somersault and fell to the ground.
Kojima Souji: "Hahaha, as expected of my rival, Uchiha Ryo! I acknowledge you."
"I don't need your acknowledgement. By the way, what's wrong with you? I heard you're the young master of the police superintendent, Kojima-kun. Getting taken down by a girl like that?"
Kojima Souji got up. "Can she even be called a girl? Ryuju Momo is the daughter of the head of the nationwide yakuza group, the Dragon Ball group. I've disliked this violent maniac for a long time."
At the same time, Ryuju Momo also slowly got up. "What? We agreed to a one-on-one duel on the rooftop, and you dared to call for backup? Is this the so-called righteous group beating~"
Kojima Souji dusted himself off and stepped forward like a hot-blooded manga protagonist.
"It's useless no matter what you say. Justice will always prevail. Even if you defeat me, the just Uchiha Ryo will deliver your punishment."
Uchiha Ryo: "...."
"Don't lump me in with you. I was purely passing by. If she hadn't attacked me first, I wouldn't have made a move."
Ryuju Momo felt a burning sensation on her back. Just how much force was behind that slap from Uchiha Ryo....
"Since you're just passing by, then hurry up and leave. I have to beat this annoying Kojima into submission today."
Kojima Souji gritted his teeth and stood behind Uchiha Ryo. "You think I'm afraid of you? Do you really think I can't beat you? It's just that a good man doesn't fight with a woman."
Ryuju Momo chuckled. "Says the loser...."
"Damn it! You think I'd really lose to a violent yakuza girl like you? If it weren't for the lack of stamina from not eating breakfast, plus fighting on your turf, and my hair being a bit uncomfortable because I didn't wash it, and not doing well on the exam a few days ago, and being distracted by thinking about what to eat for lunch...."
"If it weren't for all these hindrances, the winner would undoubtedly be me!"
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "Then you two continue fighting. I'll watch."
Ryuju Momo glanced at Uchiha Ryo, then looked back at Kojima Souji.
"Is that so... you're really good at making excuses. But how come I remember kicking you to the ground in just a few moves?"
Kojima Souji gritted his teeth. "That's because you don't have any martial ethics! Who launches a sneak attack right from the start!"
"Huh?! In a real fight, who follows the rules with you? Whoever goes down is the loser!"
Kojima Souji gritted his teeth. "Uchiha! If you're willing to help me... I can owe you a favor on behalf of the Tokyo police department. Uchiha?"
On the rooftop, Uchiha Ryo's figure had long since disappeared. He couldn't be bothered to get involved in this kind of dispute between the police and the yakuza.
With this time, it would be better to go to the club and raise the affinity of his little lambs. But it wasn't club activity time yet... eh, it seems it's class time right now. Is it really okay for me not to go back to the classroom?
....
At noon, in the Classic Literature Club's activity room.
As a student of Class 1-B, Chitanda Eru came here right after class to prepare to eat with everyone.
"Eh? We're missing some people today."
Noticing that only the girls were in the activity room, Chitanda Eru pulled up a chair and sat down.
Hayasaka Ai looked at Chitanda in confusion. "Chitanda-san, Ryo-kun is in your class. Didn't he come with you?"
Chitanda Eru shook her head. "I don't know. Uchiha-kun was called out by the teacher during the first period and hasn't come back even by the end of lunch."
Yukinoshita Yukino, sitting to the side, thought of the questions she had been called over to answer after the first period and roughly guessed what had happened....
When the lunch break ended, the members of the Classic Literature Club finally began to work on the manuscript for the school journal.
As the president, although Amakusa Shino really wanted to publish what she wanted to say on it, the vice president, Uchiha Ryo, wouldn't allow it at all. So this task fell into Chitanda's hands.
When Uchiha Ryo finally finished wandering around and arrived at the activity room, everyone was seriously working on their own tasks.
Chitanda and Hayasaka Ai were in charge of searching for materials to publish online, Yukinoshita Yukino was in charge of compiling and organizing the materials, and Amakusa Shino was in charge of putting Yukinoshita's organized materials into words and typing up the manuscript.
Uchiha Ryo at this moment was like a leader on inspection. He walked a circle around everyone, and finally sat down in the vice president's seat.
"President, is your manuscript typed up?"
Amakusa Shino: "Of course, it's almost done. But the newspaper club told us not to just publish text, it's better to add some illustrations."
Uchiha Ryo nodded, then lay his head on the desk.
"I was a little sleepy this morning, and after being called out by the teacher, I was standing all morning."
Although with Uchiha Ryo's stamina, just standing for a morning wouldn't make him feel tired, he really wanted to slack off right now. It would be best if he could take a nap, and even better if someone present could offer their lap as a pillow.
Amakusa Shino's typing hands stopped. "You've been standing all morning? That won't do. Take this and go take care of it outside."
Uchiha Ryo took the tissue Amakusa Shino handed him. What did she mean by this?
Seeing Uchiha Ryo didn't move, Amakusa Shino nodded in surprise. "Is that so? Then it's fine to do it in the classroom, but be quiet."
"I mean I was walking all morning. It was my body that was standing, not my 'kidney body'!"
Amakusa Shino took back the tissue with regret. "Then I'll just put it here. Take it if you need it."
Not wanting to bother with Amakusa Shino, Uchiha Ryo took out his phone and contacted his new game friend from today, Ishigami Yu.
Just as he was thinking about whether to go play games together, Amakusa Shino's voice rang out again.
Amakusa Shino: "Uchiha, I heard you can type special symbols with the input method. How do you do it?"
Uchiha Ryo turned his head. "If you type the word 'heart' on your keyboard, both the text and the [heart] symbol will appear as options."
"So that's how it is. I get it now!"
A minute later, Amakusa Shino tugged on Uchiha Ryo's sleeve again.
"Uchiha! It's not working! Why can't I type it?!"
Uchiha Ryo: "What symbol are you trying to type?"
Amakusa Shino's expression was incredibly serious. "I typed the word 'chrysanthemum,' why didn't the [*] symbol appear?"
"...."
