Fighting by Official Decree

Wow, how come this guy is so good at this!?

However, Shuichi Kanda's expression remained unchanged; he simply watched the crab that had been released.

Seeing the other person's expression, Sakayanagi gritted his teeth, picked up the crab, and prepared to take a bite.

Holy crap, what are you trying to do?

Shuichi Kanda and immediately snatched the crab away.

"Are you planning to swallow it whole? You idiot."

Sakayanagi gave an innocent look. "Because I've never eaten a whole crab before."

Shuichi Kanda. This guy...

"Watch closely, I'll only teach you once."

Hearing Shuichi Kanda say that, a sly smile appeared on Sakayanagi's lips when Shuichi Kanda couldn't see it.

After demonstrating the tools to Sakayanagi, Shuichi Kanda warned her again, "You can't eat the crab's heart. It's very cold in nature and bad for your health."

Sakayanagi nodded, then looked at the prepared crab in Shuichi Kanda's hand.

"Want some?"

Sakayanagi nodded, his face full of anticipation.

Then, while laughing, Shuichi Kanda raised his hand and... put all the prepared crab meat and crab roe into his mouth.

"If you want to eat, make it yourself."

Seeing Shuichi Kanda's actions, Sakayanagi was stunned, then immediately stomped his feet in anger.

You think I can't handle you? Don't think I don't know you were just acting. What ordinary person would actually bite right into a crab?

While enjoying the deliciousness of the crab Shuichi Kanda secretly mocked Sakayanagi.

However, as expected of Sakayanagi, he knew how to eat crabs after only one look, and also knew which parts were edible and which were not.

Of course, it's also possible that she knew about this herself.

After finishing his meal, Shuichi Kanda saw Katsuragi sitting alone in a corner eating.

Are you still isolating Katsuragi?

When the topic turned to class matters, Sakayanagi became a little more serious.

"No, after all, he's a very useful combatant. But because of what happened before, some people in the class are probably unhappy with him."

Sakayanagi was aware of these things, but he didn't want to get involved because he felt it was pointless.

Even if Sakayanagi wants them to get along well, the people below will probably say one thing and do another, since there's always a way to circumvent policies.

If the policies set by those in power were effective, then bullying incidents would not occur in schools.

However, none of that mattered to Shuichi Kanda. What he valued was Katsuragi himself and his abilities.

Katsuragi is very composed in his work, and composure is an excellent quality that many people cannot possess.

Moreover, the other party was doing a very good job in the Student Council, so seeing Katsuragi's current situation, Shuichi Kanda asked a question.

After returning the trays to the designated location, Shuichi Kanda while before preparing to go for a bath at the public bathhouse.

This has almost become a habit for Shuichi Kanda; taking a bath is much more comfortable than taking a shower, and it can also relax a tired body.

Then, as he passed by the rest area on the second floor, he saw two female homeroom teachers from the second year of high school lying on massage chairs in their bathrobes, enjoying the machine's services.

Although he could have simply ignored them, Shuichi Kanda still decided to go over and say hello. So he quietly walked up to Chabashira-sensei, then gently leaned down and began to speak:

"Sae- chan, are you alright?"

Chabashira Sae and Chie Hoshinomiya were enjoying the massage chair with their eyes closed when Shuichi Kanda's voice, coming from right next to them, startled Chabashira-sensei.

Then...

I accidentally pressed the frequency adjustment function on the massage chair. This massage chair has five power levels, and the indicator was for the third level, but Chabashira-sensei accidentally pressed the fifth level...

Immediately afterwards, the machine began to emit a loud rumbling sound, and the massage chair started operating at full capacity.

The result was the same as what Ichinose had experienced that day: her whole body began to tremble, and the rabbit on her chest started to bounce wildly, Shuichi Kanda dumbfounded.

No, I just came over to say hello, and you're already giving me freebies?

Although I don't mind, this is a public place after all, isn't it inappropriate?

Feeling the intense vibrations, Chabashira Sae hurriedly reached out to adjust the frequency, but perhaps due to her panic, she couldn't find the right spot to press.

Chabashira-sensei's face also began to turn red rapidly, soon becoming as bright red as blood.

What are you still standing there for? Aren't you going to help?

Seeing Shuichi Kanda's dumbfounded expression, Chabashira Sae said with embarrassment and anger, but she herself did not realize that her embarrassment and anger were also mixed with a hint of coquettishness.

Upon hearing what Chabashira-sensei said, Shuichi Kanda immediately stepped forward and switched the massage chair to a lower setting.

However, the Hoshinomiya nearby sensed something different here.

"Uh, sorry. Are you alright, Sae- chan?"

Shuichi Kanda, his expression slightly innocent.

Chabashira-sensei glared at him fiercely, because if he hadn't suddenly spoken, she wouldn't have panicked and pressed the highest power button...

Shuichi Kanda great time watching, but her old bones were thoroughly ravaged.

"Ahem, I'm leaving now, the bathhouse will get crowded soon." With that, Shuichi Kanda immediately left.

Just then, Hoshinomiya spoke softly from the side.

"Sae- chan, you didn't do something you shouldn't have, did you?"

Chabashira's flushed face stiffened slightly before regaining its composure.

What are you talking about?

"Like dating a student Chabashira something." Hoshinomiya had turned to the side, staring intently at Chabashira's face, seemingly trying to sense whether Chabashira was lying by getting so close to his face.

"You're overthinking it. That's impossible, you should know that. Besides, you're too close, and you reek of alcohol."

After finishing her speech, Chabashira Sae lay back down on the massage chair, closed her eyes to rest, and her expression remained unchanged.

After staring at Chabashira's face for a while, Hoshinomiya suddenly lost interest.

"You made me so happy for nothing. I thought you had moved on from that incident."

Chabashira Sae didn't react at all; she had made up her mind that she absolutely could not let anyone know about her relationship with Shuichi Kanda while she was at school.

It wasn't for her own sake, but for the students of Class A, and for Shuichi Kanda himself.

After taking Shuichi Kanda returned to his room. There was no pillow fight today; instead, they talked about what happened during the day.

For example, that terribly awful ramen.

"Sigh, our carefree days are only limited to this period of time at school," Watanabe suddenly said with a sigh.

"What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

Ishizaki looked at Watanabe.

"Well, I'm a little worried." Watanabe tugged at his hair, forcing a smile. "Kanzaki, I have a question for you."

Kanzaki nodded silently to indicate that there was no problem.

"Honestly, do you think we can beat Class A with Kanda on the team?"

Even though Shuichi Kanda was right there, Watanabe still asked the question without any hesitation.

Kanzaki opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word, because the answer was too cruel.

"It's unwinnable. It's like everyone knows that the Yamaguchi-gumi is the biggest Yamaguchi-gumi in Japan. Even though countless yakuza members want to replace the Yamaguchi-gumi, they all understand that it's impossible."

Kanzaki answered the question that Ryuen hadn't, without any hesitation.

Shuichi Kanda, however, was extremely dissatisfied.

"What gang? I'm not a gang leader."

"I was just giving an example, why are you in such a hurry?"

In reality, the yakuza organization was merely a business of the Kanda Family, though Shuichi Kanda himself was unaware of this.

"Right? That's what I think too." Watanabe sighed again. "So, ever since I realized this, I've been thinking about one thing: the future. But up until now, I can't imagine what I'll be like after graduating high school, and I don't have anything in particular I want to do. What will Kanzaki do in the future?"

"I think I'll go on to higher education, but I haven't decided which university yet. After that, I'll go work at my father's company."

Watanabe was speechless. Having a family business was impressive, he thought, before looking at Shuichi Kanda.

Where is Kanda?

Watanabe then asked Shuichi Kanda his question.

"I have no idea."

Shuichi Kanda suddenly sighed, because he really didn't know what to do next. First of all, he wasn't short of money; the Kanda Family had plenty.

Secondly, he has no shortage of time; his Age Springwater Rope can keep him forever young.

"Perhaps, we'll travel around the world first?"

"Around the world? Around the world at eighteen?" Watanabe was somewhat surprised, because traveling around the world not only requires sufficient funds, but also various communication and survival skills.

"Well, it's just a possibility, after all, I have a lot of things to do."

Shuichi Kanda wasn't alone; he had a family with him, and he couldn't possibly leave them all behind in Japan while traveling the world.

So the most likely scenario is... getting married first.

Chapter 380 Fighting by Imperial Order

After chatting about this and that, the room gradually quieted down, and Shuichi Kanda slowly drifted off to sleep.

Next was the fourth day of the school trip. Regarding the results of yesterday's sightseeing tour, it seems that half of the twenty groups, or ten groups, scored more than twenty points. All members of those groups received 30,000 personal points.

In addition, two groups did not even complete the check-in task at all six locations, so they must hold a study session at the hotel during their free time today.

Yeah, how pitiful!

However, Shuichi Kanda's joy didn't last long, because—it started snowing outside.

Moreover, the snow was quite heavy. Although it wasn't a blizzard, it was still not a suitable day for travel. Besides, the school also had to consider the students' safety and couldn't just let them go out in this unfamiliar place.

Just as Shuichi Kanda had expected, he had just woken up when he saw the message the school had sent at seven in the morning.

The message was simple: because of the heavy snowfall, while the freedom of movement wasn't revoked, people were restricted to the hotel grounds and not allowed to leave until the situation was confirmed to be stable.

After Shuichi Kanda finished his meal and left the hotel, he realized that the school had indeed not lied to them.

The snow was really heavy, and the path that had been cleared earlier was now covered by snow again. Not far away, two adults were talking about something.

One of them was a school staff member Shuichi Kanda had met before, and the other was wearing a hotel uniform, so he must be a hotel employee.

Their conversation ended quickly. After looking around, the school staff walked over to Shuichi Kanda, apparently wanting to discuss something with him.

As expected, the school staff stopped in front of Kanda Shuichi and said politely, "Student Council President Kanda, I have already spoken with the hotel staff. I apologize, but please bear with us in this open space in front of the hotel."

Shuichi Kanda nodded in understanding.

Thank you.

"No, it's what I should do."

After the staff left, Shuichi Kanda posted the message in the class chat group. Since each group had students from Class A, the message would spread quickly within each group.

Although the students were disappointed that they couldn't leave the hotel today, the area in front of the hotel was quite large, about half the size of a football field. It was originally a parking lot, but because the hotel was booked directly by the school, there were no other cars there.

Therefore, there is still a fairly large open space. With such a large area, building a snowman or having a snowball fight won't be a problem.

Although Shuichi Kanda wasn't particularly interested in this matter, that didn't mean others weren't.

Just as expected, not long after Shuichi Kanda spread the news, someone arrived at the hotel entrance, looking at the vast open space with an excited expression.

Want to have a snowball fight?

As more and more people joined, some students also made similar suggestions.

Indeed, looking at such a large area in front of us, and with snow all over the ground, the first thing that comes to mind is having a snowball fight.

"Sure, sure, I'm fine with it."
