Prince Brother Arrives, Everyone Move Aside.

The next day.

A new week approaching the end of May.

The classroom after school.

Prince Ganlongdao was playing with Shiho Manabe, who was sitting on his lap, when Ishizaki burst into the classroom and panted as he reached the two of them:

"Prince Brother, I've found out. Just as expected, they are playing ball there again today."

"Call Dragon Garden and the others, let's go!"

Prince Ganlongdao patted Shiho Manabe's shapely bottom, and she immediately understood, standing up to follow him out of the classroom.

After school.

Life at Advanced Nurturing is also very rich.

There are those who participate in club activities, those who head to Keyaki Mall to spend money and enjoy life, and those who return to their dorms to study.

Of course, there are even more who stay at school to enjoy their youth.

In addition to the indoor facilities for various clubs, Advanced Nurturing also has many outdoor facilities for students to use.

For example, the basketball courts.

Basketball is fun enough, it can be enjoyed by many people, it kills time, it builds physical fitness, and it doesn't cost money.

More importantly.

This sport, which highlights masculine traits, is naturally very popular with girls.

Basketball is naturally a high-quality project.

The basketball courts after school are quite popular.

With the financial resources of Advanced Nurturing, which has national backing, building a few basketball courts is simply a breeze.

Just the outdoor basketball courts available for ordinary students to use.

There are as many as ten of them.

There is absolutely no need for students to fight over them at all.

However.

There are also good and bad locations.

At this moment.

On the central basketball court, dozens of floodlights were hung on all four sides.

When evening comes, this is clearly the place with the best lighting, enough for them to play until very late.

Clearly.

This is the best spot.

At this moment.

A bald student and five companions were playing a 3v3 street basketball game.

Because there were enough courts.

Even for 3v3, they were playing full-court, and there were even empty basketball courts nearby.

"Prince Brother."

Ishizaki pointed at the bald student on the court and whispered: "That is Katsuragi Kohei from Class A."

"Mm."

Prince Ganlongdao nodded solemnly:

"He looks strong at a glance."

"Didn't you say you didn't even put him in your eyes a couple of days ago?"

Dragon Garden, standing behind him, frowned.

"I was talking about his basketball skills. Let's go."

After saying that, Prince Ganlongdao walked over with his hands in his pockets, while Shiho Manabe followed by his side with her hands clasped behind her back.

Ryuen Kakeru, Albert, Kaneda, and Ishizaki followed behind him with their hands in their pockets.

Right here.

There should be background music.

No need to guess, just looking at that human-shaped floodlight.

Katsuragi Kohei must be exceptionally skilled at basketball at night.

"Move aside, move aside, Prince Brother has arrived, clear the way."

Ishizaki kept shooing the crowd away in front, and the six of them walked straight across the basketball court where people were playing.

Just as someone wanted to say something, they were quickly held back by their companions.

Prince Ganlongdao, Ryuen Kakeru, the burly, sunglass-wearing Albert, and the cunning-looking Kaneda—these were clearly people not to be trifled with.

Shiho Manabe, however, held her snow-white neck high.

The annoyed gazes of the people around them and their actions of venting by dribbling the basketball harder only served to satisfy her vanity.

So what if they hated it?

They still couldn't do anything about Prince Brother or her, could they?

What Shiho Manabe enjoyed was this sense of superiority where she could do whatever she wanted while others were helpless; as for how others felt, that had nothing to do with her.

Soon.

The group arrived at the central basketball court.

Ishizaki, like someone herding ducks, made a few shooing gestures toward Katsuragi Kohei and the others, shouting:

"Scatter, scatter, our Prince Brother wants this spot."

After he finished speaking.

The five students stood behind Katsuragi in tacit agreement, and one of them pointed at the leader, Prince Ganlongdao, and scolded:

"Damn, are you blind? Can't you see we're playing basketball?"

"Totsuka!"

The moment the words fell.

A dark shadow blocked his vision.

Albert stood before the boy named Totsuka with his arms crossed.

The two were nearly two heads apart in height, creating a sense of immense pressure, and the others quickly stood by Totsuka's side to confront Albert.

King against king, general against general.

The levels were different.

Prince Ganlongdao naturally wouldn't bother with him, merely bouncing the basketball in his hand as he frowned:

"Albert, clear them all out."

"Yes, boss."

"Wait a minute."

At this moment, Katsuragi Kohei finally spoke.

Beneath his shaved head was a mature and steady face, and his voice was even more composed.

"Ganlongdao, what is the meaning of this?"

"Oh?"

Prince Ganlongdao said with a playful tone: "You've investigated me?"

"Perhaps you don't remember."

Katsuragi said calmly: "I was there at the club orientation meeting as well."

"Oh?"

Prince Ganlongdao looked the bald powerhouse up and down, his tone amused:

"Still playing here, it seems you haven't joined any clubs either. Are you planning to join the Student Council, only to be rejected? Sorry, I have no interest in the weak."

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting..."

The boy named Totsuka glared at Prince Ganlongdao and said: "That Student Council president just has no vision; it's not that Katsuragi-san is weak."

"Looks like that's the case, but, I agree."

Prince Ganlongdao shrugged and said:

"That Student Council president indeed has no vision, but his lack of vision has no necessary connection to Katsuragi's strength. If you can't even figure that out, you don't seem very smart either. It seems Katsuragi, who keeps you by his side, doesn't have much vision either."

"You..."

Totsuka stared at Prince Ganlongdao, unable to utter a single word.

Horikita Manabu wasn't some kind of combat power scanner, and his eye for talent had no necessary connection to the strength of others.

Getting angry over such a trivial point only showed that Totsuka was someone easily swayed by his emotions.

Standing to the side, Katsuragi furrowed his brows slightly.

He hadn't expected this.

With just a single sentence, Prince Ganlongdao had managed to deduce so much.

He had not only determined that his goal at the time was to join the Student Council, but also that he had already been rejected by the student council president.

Of course, it couldn't be denied that Prince Ganlongdao might have been testing him.

But Totsuka's reaction had already confirmed that every one of Prince Ganlongdao's judgments was correct.

Being able to keep someone like Totsuka by his side only went to show that his own judgment, Katsuragi's, really wasn't all that great.

Long before arriving at the basketball court, Prince Ganlongdao had already issued a strict order.

Without his command, Dragon Garden, Kaneda, and the others were to keep their mouths shut.

In their downtime, he could joke around and shoot the breeze with Dragon Garden and the others.

But when he was handling business, everything around him had to obey his arrangements unless he gave the order otherwise.

Only at this moment did Katsuragi start to feel a sense of gravity.

This man, who had managed to take control of his class and challenge the student council president with his lackeys by the second day, was far more terrifying than he had imagined!

More importantly, Prince Ganlongdao made no effort to hide his talent, nor did he conceal his rudeness and domineering nature, as if there were nothing in this world that could shake him.

This kind of self-centered strength and arrogance was truly something to be wary of.

Katsuragi's tone became a few degrees more serious.

"Ganlongdao, what exactly do you mean by this?"
