Yukinoshita's Correction Method
Led by Shiroyama, the club members kept running around the judo mat, panting heavily in the oven-like environment.
"That's terrible!" The dignified boy in his judo uniform sat at the top, overseeing the club members' practice. "That's enough. Anyone who's late, you'll have to run a few extra seconds if you're a few seconds late. The rest of you can start your free sparring."
"They're really strict..." Yui Yuigahama glanced at it, "And so fierce!"
Saki Kawasaki frowned. "Shouldn't we at least have some time to rest?"
"Indeed." Yukino Yukinoshita narrowed her cold eyes slightly. "If it's just about being strict, one could call it a personal style. But this kind of training method is very unreasonable from the perspective of health and safety alone."
"I feel like you're speaking too soon..." Dong Yunshan stared at the senior student, "It seems like we've only just begun."
Thump!
"You piece of trash!" The senior student shoved a club member away violently. "Go run until you die! Next!"
Thump!
"You won't learn unless you get thrown around!" One member was mercilessly thrown around, saying, "My seniors used to throw me around like that too! You can't learn without experiencing it firsthand!"
Thump!
"If you keep crying like this, you won't be able to survive in society at all!"
Thump!
"High school clubs are so easy! Society is much more brutal than that!"
Thump!
Once you see such scenes with your own eyes, and witness those members being thrown out and scolded time and time again, you won't be surprised why so many members quit. Instead, you'll start to wonder why there are still members who haven't quit.
Having confirmed that the "Three Delicacies of the Earth" story was true, the remaining task was to develop research methods.
"They can still keep practicing..." Yui Yuigahama shaken, back at the Service Club. "If it were me, I probably wouldn't have been able to stay even for a day..."
Dong Yunshan nodded. "Me too."
"Hmm?" Saki Kawasaki asked, puzzled. "With your physical abilities, that level of training shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"It's not just a matter of training intensity." Yukino Yukinoshita looked up. "As for Yunshan, she'd probably resist on the very first day."
"But those members didn't even utter a single complaint, let alone resist." Dong Yunshan frowned. "This oppressive atmosphere..."
"It's a virtue." The Service Club's door was suddenly pulled open, and Shizuka Hiratsuka appeared in the doorway. "Following hierarchical relationships is a concept unique to sports clubs; it's a virtue... a vice."
"Teacher..." Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if she had a headache, "Knock on the door."
"I'm here to announce the new rules!" Shizuka Hiratsuka crossed her arms in front of her, her gaze sweeping over the members of the Service Club. "Since the number of members has increased, the original rules need to be modified."
Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "The modification refers to..."
Shizuka Hiratsuka's gaze was calm. "I want you to kill each other."
Chapter 288 Training Plan
A famous line from the movie "Battle Royale" at least ten years ago.
Yukino Yukinoshita's response was. "... cliché."
Under her cold gaze, Shizuka Hiratsuka coughed awkwardly twice. "Cough, cough, well, in short! Simply put, it's the rules of a battle royale game! Multiplayer battles are the key to prolonging the life of a battle manga! To put it even more simply, it's like the Kaguya-sama arc of 'Yagi no Tales'."
Dong Yunshan: "This comic looks like the one that hugged me when I was little..."
Shizuka Hiratsuka threw a punch at Dong Yunshan, which Dong Yunshan easily caught.
89396446
"Since it's a battle royale, of course you can fight together." Shizuka Hiratsuka snorted and withdrew her fist. "Your relationship isn't just adversarial; you'd better learn to cooperate."
Collaboration? Saki Kawasaki felt that Shizuka Hiratsuka had brought it up unnecessary.
Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita more than just collaborating; they're practically getting back together...
The so-called battle royale is completely meaningless; no one is foolish enough to think they can outmaneuver the combined efforts of Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita...
"Me! Me! Me!" Yui Yuigahama excitedly raised her little hand. "I have a question!"
"Very good!" Shizuka Hiratsuka pointed at Yui Yuigahama. "What's the problem?"
Yui Yuigahama's eyes lit up. "If I win, can I order other people around too?"
"Of course!" Shizuka Hiratsuka. "That's exactly the kind of courage we need!"
Yui Yuigahama: "Yay!"
Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at her silently, then turned away again.
As long as the child is happy... Saki Kawasaki felt that's probably what they were thinking.
"Go for it, Dark Tournament fighters!" Shizuka Hiratsuka waved her hand, "For the final victory!"
Dong Yunshan: "... It seems too late to start practicing Spirit Balls now."
Watching Shizuka Hiratsuka leave, Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head expressionlessly. "Enough of this nonsense, let's get down to business."
"The task is to resolve the senior's problem and recruit new members." Dong Yunshan tapped his temples lightly with two fingers together. "I can resolve the senior's problem, but I don't know judo, and the Judo Club can't attract any new members these days."
"For recruitment..." Yui Yuigahama clapped her hands, "Boys who study judo are the coolest... How about using that for advertising?"
Dong Yunshan shook his head. "It's not very credible. Moreover, even if students have such thoughts, they might choose to avoid the Judo Club to avoid being misunderstood."
"Those who learn judo are all good kids..." Saki Kawasaki started to say, then stopped herself, "Never mind."
"To attract new members..." Yukino Yukinoshita rested her finger on her chin. "We still need to make the Judo Club more attractive."
"It's not about changing the content of the promotion, but about changing the Judo Club itself?" Dong Yunshan understood Yukino Yukinoshita's thoughts. "But the current Judo Club... the core of the problem is still that upperclassman."
"But will the Judo Club members really help us? Especially the club president." Yui Yuigahama looked troubled. "He seems to really admire that senior."
Saki Kawasaki shook her head, stating more bluntly. "It's blind obedience."
Yui Yuigahama tilted her chair back and forth, staring at the ceiling in thought, then suddenly sat up straight. "Go talk to the other teachers or the education committee!"
"Great!" Dong Yunshan gave a thumbs up. "I think this is a good idea."
Yukino Yukinoshita rolled her eyes at him. "You're just trying to gloat."
Yui Yuigahama, puzzled, "Huh?"
"When problems arise, the school's first choice is always to cover them up." Dong Yunshan's eyes revealed obvious anticipation. "After all, it's a college-preparation-oriented high school. If something like inappropriate guidance in club activities gets exposed, it'll be a big problem."
"The school will probably conduct a cursory investigation, then declare that nothing of the sort happened, and finally give the advisor a verbal warning," Saki Kawasaki speculated with a bored expression. "Oh, and they might also think there's something wrong with the club and suspend its activities."
"In this way, that senior will realize his mistake, and Shiroyama will understand the consequences of blindly following others." Dong Yunshan smiled. "Then the Judo Club, which has resumed its activities, will be able to shake off that boring atmosphere from before."
"No, please!" Yui Yuigahama felt the situation was terrible just thinking about it. "It's best to ask him to leave on his own..."
"This brings us back to the original problem." Dong Yunshan shrugged. "He won't listen to outsiders at all. Even if I beat him to a pulp, he'll only think it's a difference in physical ability, not a difference in judo technique, and he'll stick to his own ideas."
Yui Yuigahama climbed onto the table, flattening her face. "Where can we find someone as good at judo these days?"
"Huh?" Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow. "I have a friend..."
Yukino Yukinoshita glanced sideways. " From Sobu High School?"
"No."
Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head. "Then let's not."
"Oh, right." Yui Yuigahama remembered what Yukino Yukinoshita had said before, "Little Yukino, you said you had a method, what method was it?"
Yukino Yukinoshita at Dong Yunshan: "Teach him judo, then defeat that upperclassman."
Saki Kawasaki hummed in response, "Didn't the Judo Club president say that he couldn't instill confidence in Shinonome in a short time?"
Yukino Yukinoshita turned the finger that was pointing at Dong Yunshan towards herself. "I have it."
"You?" Dong Yunshan was genuinely surprised. "You know judo?"
What are you surprised about?
"I'm amazed that your physical strength allowed you to learn judo."
"The core principle of judo is [to overcome strength with softness], with technique taking precedence over brute force." Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks slightly. "By disrupting the opponent's balance or utilizing the principle of leverage, one can achieve the greatest effect with the least amount of force, even if one lacks strength, one can still throw or control the opponent."
"Let me guess..." Dong Yunshan stroked his chin, "You mastered judo techniques in three days, enabling you to defeat your opponent quickly without needing greater strength and endurance, so you didn't undergo any further physical training, right?"
"You have stronger physical abilities, so you'll definitely learn faster than me—right?" Yukino Yukinoshita's cold eyes narrowed slightly. "I will fully consider health and safety during my instruction, but that doesn't mean my teaching will be easy."
"I'm curious too..." Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow, "What training programs are still making me feel uneasy?"
Chapter 289 Fun Competition
The two were locked in a fierce battle of wits, neither willing to give an inch.
Yui Yuigahama looked left and right, a hint of realization in her eyes, then leaned close to Saki Kawasaki's ear and whispered, "So they've found a new reason to be all lovey-dovey together?"
"They're making it sound like this is the only way..." Saki Kawasaki didn't even bother to call them out.
It's likely that the idea was decided from the beginning, then other suggestions were rejected during the discussion, and finally, under questioning from others, the pre-determined method was brought up.
Not only that, but after the method is approved, they also bicker and act all unwilling, trying to cover it up... tsk.
Couples who want to get back together but are too embarrassed to say it directly will find their back-and-forth arguments troublesome and awkward.
Saki Kawasaki began to understand why Yui Yuigahama and Komachi Hikigaya went to great lengths to bring Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita.
No wonder Yui Yuigahama was so enthusiastic after Shizuka Hiratsuka proposed the new rules.
Seeing these two constantly bickering and teasing each other, and even getting caught up in their flirting without realizing it—who could stand that?
I wish I could just press their lips together as they got closer and closer.
Oh, and if you complete the mission and win...
Saki Kawasaki's eyes flickered. "Even if Yunshan can learn judo in a short time, how will she challenge that upperclassman?"
Dong Yunshan thought for a moment, his smile gradually turning wicked, "While he's strutting around and disciplining the club members, challenge him and beat him to a pulp."
"But that won't help recruit new members at all," Yui Yuigahama reminded her. "The senior that the club admires gets easily defeated by someone from outside the club..."
"Perhaps we can find a way to separate him from the Judo Club." Saki Kawasaki picked up a small measuring cup. "After all, that senior has already graduated."
"He can only guide..." Saki Kawasaki poured concentrated lemon juice into the glass, then poured the concentrated lemon juice into the glass, "But cannot become part of the Judo Club."
A measuring cup can be used to measure liquids, but it shouldn't actually be thrown into a glass and become part of the beverage.
"Just organize an event and get others involved." Saki Kawasaki poured a drink into her glass, then added water. "And let the Judo Club members and other students enjoy themselves. The outcast upperclassmen will be excluded from the Judo Club."
"By then..." Saki Kawasaki flicked her finger, knocking over the measuring cup, "It's just an outsider defeating an outsider; it won't affect the Judo Club's recruitment."
Dong Yunshan thought for a moment, "I feel like it would be more entertaining to just knock him out directly..."
"That would go against the Service Club's principles." Yukinoshita Yukino glared at him. "The Judo Club has to make the changes themselves."
"It can't be just me alone... If the two of us work hard, the Judo Club must also make a corresponding effort." Dong Yunshan nodded. "So, what kind of event should we hold?"
Saki Kawasaki really has no idea how to handle this.
She only had experience in bartending, not in participating in campus activities.
Not to mention organizing campus events.
"Ah!" Yui Yuigahama excitedly raised her hand. "I know! Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!"
"... Please speak." Unable to bear her childish behavior, Yukino Yukinoshita sighed softly and reluctantly played along, "Yuigahama."
Yui Yuigahama happily stood up from her seat. "How about the fun game?"
A question mark appeared above Yukino Yukinoshita's head, "A fun match?"
"It's the kind of game where everyone plays together and doesn't care about winning or losing," Yui Yuigahama explained. "It's like a fun tennis tournament, where beginners are welcome to participate, and Tennis Club members are also welcome to give guidance or perform, so everyone can experience the joy of tennis together."
"What fun is there in a game without winners and losers..." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head. "But I understand what you mean. You mean social activities that emphasize interaction and fun, with the core purpose of collective participation and shared entertainment, right? These kinds of activities usually don't pursue competitiveness or professionalism, but rather focus on creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere so that all participants can feel a sense of belonging and enjoyment."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yui Yuigahama nodded vigorously, "That's exactly what I mean."
"Using the excuse of helping to recruit new members, we'll have the Judo Club members who blindly follow that senior organize a judo fun tournament to attract students," Dong Yunshan summarized Saki Kawasaki and Yui Yuigahama's ideas. "Then, while everyone is enjoying the relaxed atmosphere, we'll challenge the strict senior, making it impossible for him to stay in the Judo Club, which has become more relaxed with the addition of new members."
"In that case, both problems are solved..." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded, then suddenly stopped halfway through. "Will the school agree to this proposal?"
"I'll handle that," Dong Yunshan said after a moment's thought. "I have a friend..."
Yui Yuigahama's eyes widened. "A school leader?"
"It's not necessary to go directly to the leadership." Dong Yunshan shook his head. "I have a friend who's in the tea ceremony club. They often invite people from outside the club to their small tea parties. Since the tea ceremony club can do it, the Judo Club should be able to get approved through a normal application, provided safety is guaranteed."
Saki Kawasaki was a little worried. "What if a low-probability event occurs?"
