Kamishiro Ruki's Report: The Truest Self?! (II)

But he was quickly seized by another thought.

This Kamishiro Liufei was definitely no ordinary person. No normal campus reporter could have traced Chi Tong's path from middle school to high school so thoroughly.

She definitely knew even more inside information.

Mukai Minsheng's professional instincts were instantly awakened. As a reporter, he knew better than anyone how valuable this kind of information was.

Why had Chi Tong retired back then?

He had clearly already won two consecutive championships, so why had he chosen to give up in his final year?

Maki Shinichi pinched the corner of the report, his fingertips turning slightly white as his gaze rested on the words "Sacred Radiance Middle School's two consecutive championships." He remained silent.

No emotion could be seen in his deep eyes, but those familiar with him knew that behind that silence was a reassessment of his opponent's strength. Two straight championships... that really was impressive.

Jin Soichiro's tone carried a trace of admiration. Winning two consecutive titles in a national competition was not something that could be achieved casually.

Kiyota Nobunaga stood nearby, clutching his hair and repeatedly muttering, "Sacred Radiance."

"I remember now! That Sacred Radiance Middle School."

His expression instantly turned somewhat ugly, and a barely noticeable flash of embarrassment passed through his eyes, as though it had stirred up some unpleasant memory.

Muto Tadashi looked at him curiously. "Ah, Kiyota, you know this school?"

"Sort of," Kiyota Nobunaga said, pursing his lips. His hesitant voice carried a hint of helplessness.

"Back in middle school, our team ran into them."
