Seeing this.
Prince Ganlongdao hurriedly stepped in front of Ibuki Mio, reaching out to block her path.
"Hold it. You might find this boring, but acting so recklessly and refusing to follow management affects the stability of the class, which makes it very difficult for me to lead."
"Boring. Move!"
Ibuki Mio glared at the man before her.
She wasn't stupid.
There was no way she would be fooled by such words.
As long as no one provoked her, she wouldn't harm anyone, and she wouldn't cause trouble for the class in either academics or sports, so how could she possibly affect the class?
The few loners in the class likely held the same opinion.
They thought that as long as they did their own thing and didn't cause trouble for anyone, it would be fine.
However.
As long as one is human.
As long as one is part of a team.
Regardless of whether they cause trouble for others, every single action will affect the class!
Outsiders would question the management ability of Prince Ganlongdao.
Others would also grow jealous.
Why should Ibuki Mio be allowed to do as she pleased while they couldn't? This would breed resentment and affect the team atmosphere; even if one dislikes socializing, necessary communication can never be skipped.
That is why many companies go out of their way to organize team-building and various ice-breaking activities.
Of course.
A class hadn't reached that point yet.
But they still needed Prince Ganlongdao to draw the prize, didn't they?
"Hmm."
Prince Ganlongdao looked down at the petite figure before him, raising an eyebrow.
"If that's the attitude you're going to take, then I won't be so polite. Don't think that just because you're a woman, I won't dare to hit you."
"Bring it on. I don't know how you managed to deal with Dragon Garden, but I'm not afraid of you."
Ibuki Mio let out a cold snort and took two steps back to create some distance.
A flicker of excitement actually flashed through her beautiful eyes.
Although she had heard that Prince Ganlongdao could defeat Albert, it seemed he had mostly won through tricks; when it came to technique, she, Ibuki Mio, feared no one!
As for the Ganlongdao that Ishizaki and the others spoke of.
Ibuki Mio didn't understand it.
But she figured it was something similar to the Yamaguchi-gumi.
In the legal society of Sakurajima, especially a society where the yakuza were legalized.
The yakuza also had their rules, and they weren't even as intimidating as the street-racing gangs; the Yamaguchi-gumi were like a charity organization selling milk tea on the street, so she felt no awe toward them.
In terms of reputation.
The yakuza of Sakurajima had long since been whitewashed.
Only when their interests were touched would they reveal their ferocious faces.
Compared to all that.
She wanted to have a serious fight with Prince Ganlongdao.
To see who was stronger.
Thinking of this.
Ibuki Mio launched a high kick with her right leg, aiming for the head of Prince Ganlongdao.
However.
The next moment.
Her ankle was easily caught by Prince Ganlongdao.
"Damn it."
Seeing this.
Looking at Prince Ganlongdao, who was nearly two heads taller than her, Ibuki Mio pressed her hands against the ground and used the momentum to sweep her left leg in a roundhouse kick, striking Prince Ganlongdao on the shoulder.
Taking the hit head-on.
Prince Ganlongdao raised an eyebrow.
To be honest.
The gap between Ibuki Mio and him was simply too vast.
He stood two meters tall and weighed nearly 100 kilograms, almost twice her weight.
The two of them were not even in the same weight class.
Furthermore.
Prince Ganlongdao maintained a rigorous training regimen year-round, so taking that hit head-on didn't even tickle.
Although it seemed like Ibuki Mio had studied taekwondo.
Those techniques might be effective against boys like Ishizaki where the gap wasn't as significant, but against someone of his weight class, technique had lost all meaning.
At this moment.
Ibuki Mio was facing away from Prince Ganlongdao, her hands pressed against the ground while he held her ankle, leaving her completely immobilized with her pretty face flushed bright red.
The disparity brought about by weight was truly despair-inducing.
Through the bright moonlight, Prince Ganlongdao actually discovered that this girl was wearing bear-patterned panties.
She really was still a child at heart!
"Let go."
Prince Ganlongdao released his grip.
"If you know what's good for you, then..."
However.
Before he could finish his sentence.
Ibuki Mio, who hadn't even steadied herself yet, showed no intention of calling a truce.
With a feint from her left leg, she kicked toward Prince Ganlongdao again with her right, only for him to grab her ankle in an instant; the gap was so despairingly wide that he didn't even need to block.
Prince Ganlongdao didn't even dare to use much force.
He felt that if he really threw a punch, he might just break her bones.
But this time.
Prince Ganlongdao wasn't about to be so polite; he grabbed Ibuki Mio's right ankle and pushed it upward.
For an ordinary person, lifting a leg past ninety degrees is already difficult, and while someone like Ibuki Mio might be more flexible, she would still feel pain once a certain limit was reached.
And this kind of physical strain was far beyond what an ordinary person could endure.
"This is the gap between you and me."
Prince Ganlongdao's left hand was like an iron clamp, gripping her smooth ankle without letting go as he continued to push upward, though his eyes couldn't help but glance between Ibuki Mio's legs.
He couldn't help it.
That little bear was a bit cunning and truly eye-catching.
"If you understand, then behave yourself."
However.
The next second.
Unexpectedly.
Ibuki Mio launched a high kick, performing a near 190-degree split that pulled him along with her.
Fortunately.
Prince Ganlongdao was tall enough.
He still held her ankle without letting go.
Meeting Ibuki Mio's fierce gaze, a pleased look appeared at the corners of Prince Ganlongdao's mouth.
Interesting!
Winning against Ibuki Mio would be simple enough.
He had originally intended to make her feel pain to force her to compromise.
He hadn't expected.
Ibuki Mio to see through his thoughts instantly and counter with a split.
Naturally, this wouldn't allow her to break free or defeat Prince Ganlongdao.
However.
This was already Ibuki Mio's limit.
If he continued to hold her leg and push upward, her leg would undoubtedly break.
Risking it all.
Did Prince Ganlongdao have the courage to do such a thing?
He saw not only stubbornness in Ibuki Mio's eyes, but also a fierce desire to win.
Even seeing such a gap in strength, Ibuki Mio still refused to admit defeat.
This level of competitiveness was truly somewhat abnormal.
It might have something to do with Ibuki Mio's past experiences.
Forget it.
Now was not the time to be thinking about such things.
"What? Do you think I'm afraid of your threats?"
Ibuki Mio stood on one leg, looking up at the man before her, and shot him a provocative glare.
"Nothing left to say?"
"..."
Prince Ganlongdao gripped her ankle.
I have to admit.
This girl is worthy of being a Taekwondo practitioner.
Even standing like this, her body remained as steady as a mountain.
It was clear her physical flexibility was extremely high; playing around with her would surely be quite a treat.
Honestly speaking.
He was indeed at a stalemate.
Naturally, he couldn't continue pushing upward and break Ibuki Mio's leg.
Everything has its limits.
A little roughhousing was fine.
But if he were to actually cripple or kill someone, the school administration would certainly intervene, and Kazuma Sakagami wouldn't be able to protect him.
Although this university claimed that everything was decided by the students themselves.
Prince Ganlongdao was certainly not naive enough to believe such nonsense.
I have to admit.
Ibuki Mio was even more difficult to deal with than Ryuen Kakeru.
At least Ryuen Kakeru had a brain and was rational.
Whether it was fighting or a battle of wits, he could at least be reasoned with.
But Ibuki Mio...
The fact that she could invite a tall, burly guy like Prince Ganlongdao to the rooftop alone, and even dare to show up to the appointment by herself, was enough to show that this person could not be treated like an ordinary girl.
Ibuki Mio was purely reckless.
Unless she was knocked unconscious, she simply refused to admit defeat.
Of course.
This was mainly because of the system mission.
Prince Ganlongdao had insisted on provoking her; otherwise, it wouldn't have been difficult to get Ibuki Mio to do things for the class.
But once Ibuki Mio's competitive spirit was ignited, her behavior was even more extreme than Ryuen's!
This is troublesome...
Prince Ganlongdao lowered his head and looked at Ibuki Mio.
It was his first time encountering such a reckless... female brawler...
Moreover.
In a university in Sakurajima, a society governed by law, his methods were ultimately restricted.
After some thought.
Prince Ganlongdao still felt.
He could only use this method.
Since Ibuki Mio liked red pandas, he would just have to feed her some bamboo.
