In the end, Fang Zheng successfully completed his task as commentator for the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival.
After Fang Zheng mercilessly mocked Kirihara, no one else dared to pull any tricks outside the matches. Otherwise, Fang Zheng did not care who they were—he would open his mouth and tear into them with ridicule. Really, given the relationship between the Dawn Organization and the Kurogane Family, what was there to be polite about?
Just roll up your sleeves and get to it!
Of course, the Kurogane Family had considered driving this jinx away. They had even secretly fanned the flames, encouraging some students who were already dissatisfied with Fang Zheng to attack him—but naturally, those attackers ended up in the hospital.
And so, under Fang Zheng's "supervision," the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival concluded smoothly. Kurogane Ikki won the championship and earned the selection spot, allowing him to once again represent Hagun Academy in this year's upcoming Griffin Star Martial Festival.
As for Fang Zheng's attitude toward that...
"Whatever. I'll still be the final champion."
That was some serious hate he was drawing.
After pulling in a wave of hatred from Hagun Academy and the Kurogane Family, Fang Zheng retired with honors and began accompanying Julie and Katou Kirin around the academy festival. It was also a form of compensation for the two of them. Fang Zheng had been busy with commentary before, but now that the boring competition was over, he could finally make time for what he wanted to do.
Naturally, the two girls were delighted. One clung to each of Fang Zheng's arms, leaving him unable to even stretch them out.
Nagakura Imari was sharp enough to know she would only be a third wheel here, so she dragged Hotaka Gya and Tachibana Tomoe off to browse
