The Azure Sea is not a warrior with ripped clothes.

"Why do you ask?"

"Of course! These people don't look like good people at all, do they?"

The naive Ayaka had no idea that the green onion she had just eaten was meant to harm her, and was still worried about Miyazawa Yu's safety.

"Like that man in the black suit over there, he's a member of the Mafia, right? He's definitely a member of the Mafia!?"

"That's impossible, let me see..."

While comforting Ayaka, Miyazawa Yu turned to look in the direction the other was pointing.

Wearing a black hat, a black trench coat, and black leather shoes that can be quickly washed off even if stained with blood while working in the rain, the middle-aged man dressed entirely in black certainly looked like a bad guy.

However, without calluses from prolonged gun handling, and given Japan's effective gun control measures over the years, it's unlikely they would allow foreigners to bring guns into the country.

In conclusion, although he looks scary, he is actually a very careful and thoughtful person, judging from how he carefully and slowly closed the glass door of SILVERMANGYM!

"..."

Doubting Miyazawa Yu's conclusion that she was a good person, Ayaka widened her eyes and cautiously pointed to the middle-aged man next to her, whispering something.

"So what do you think? Walking around in broad daylight wearing only underwear must be a bad person!"

"Hey! Hey! Ayaka-chan, your clothes can be deceiving!"

Shaking his head in criticism, Miyazawa Yu found the muscular Russian man with a full beard, chest hair, and scars all over his body to be particularly endearing.

Especially the part about wearing only panties, which is exactly the same as the philosophy of Pab Department!

Of course, the opponent wasn't just caught up in some wild boxing. Judging from his attire, he should be a Russian wrestler, and his current fighting outfit is perfectly normal!

only……

"Ah! Excuse me, smoking is not allowed here. Could you please put out your cigarette?"

"what!"

Watching Yu run so casually towards the yakuza group whose entire upper body was covered in blue dragon tattoos, Ayaka Uehara's tears instantly welled up in her eyes—

If you talk to a yakuza like that, you'll get stabbed by a battle maniac with a screw loose!

Phone! Where's the phone? Call an ambulance right now, or it'll be too late...

"Huh? There's such a requirement here? I must be unaware of the rules of the underworld!"

Arrogantly raising his neck, the tattooed man snapped his cigarette out of the ashtray, then reached into his bag and pulled out…

Supermarket vouchers!

"How rude of me! Please accept these convenience store vouchers as compensation!"

"No need, but you should definitely be mindful of other people's feelings in public..."

"You're absolutely right! Thank you so much!!!"

"..."

Unable to find her phone, Uehara Ayaka, who was so anxious that she stopped looking for it with her hands rummaging around, stared blankly at the voucher and phone number that Gokudo handed to Yu. Her brain completely shut down.

Although she looks like a yakuza, she gives off the feeling of a housewife. Is it just my imagination?

"See? Even though everyone here has a lot of muscle, they're all really nice people!"

"Hmm...hmm, it's a bit hard to believe..."

Everyone signed and chatted harmoniously, and no one smashed the glass cover of the vending machine. Instead, they paid for the chocolates as usual.

Ayaka Uehara rested her chin on her hand, her small face scrunched up, barely managing to categorize all the older men as good people.

"Yu, come sign the papers, the competition is about to begin!"

"coming!"

With her shirt off, revealing her inverted triangle figure, Miyazawa Yu blended effortlessly into the group of people dressed in outlandish outfits.

Everyone here is super friendly and speaks so nicely. He loves it here!

Just as he put a checkmark next to his name and was about to enter, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Hey kid! Long time no see! How have you been?"

"Ah! It's Uncle Virgin! It's been so long! You've been having a great time with your friends lately!"

Turning to look at the burly man who was a head taller than him, Miyazawa Yu hesitated for two seconds before instantly recognizing an old acquaintance from Tokyo!

What a wonderful coincidence that my rock-paper-scissors opponent would meet here!

"Hahaha! If you slack off like this, I'll overtake you! Thanks to you for recommending me to SILVERMANGYM, I've finally found my tribe!"

"Oh, is that so? What I meant was..."

After gesturing briefly to compare their heights, Miyazawa Yu's eyes revealed deep confusion—this uncle seemed so different from the Tokyo time!

Although his face and way of speaking haven't changed, his height has definitely increased by at least 20 centimeters. Did he wear height-increasing insoles?

"Did you notice? That's right! After a month of hard training, I've had a second growth spurt!"

"Bridge Bean Sacks!"

Speechless, Miyazawa Yu lowered her head, not wanting to see the smug smile on the virgin uncle's face, and said in a deep voice, "So it's not just that he's a virgin in terms of mental age, but also in terms of physical virginity?"

"How dare I mock a man who's trying so hard to live! I'm a complete scoundrel!"

"What are you saying in your gibberish?"

A confident smile that shows your gums—the virgin uncle arrogantly struck a bodybuilding pose and boasted, "I'm not what I used to be. As your first opponent, I'll definitely make you understand that you should treat someone who's only been away for three days better than you ever have!"

"They should look at us with new respect..."

He patted the former's shoulder affectionately, his tone filled with the doting affection unique to children.

After all, the virgin uncle doesn't seem to be very smart, and bullying a fool will bring retribution!

But I never expected that the two of them would run into each other in Tokyo. It seems like they're destined to meet again, and it looks like the uncle's first-round exit is inevitable!

"Alright, go play now~"

"Hiss... I don't know why, but the way you talk makes me really uncomfortable..."

"Don't worry about these details, friendship comes first, competition second, okay!"

"..."

Seeing Yu, who had completely immersed himself in the atmosphere and arrived early, Sakura Hibiki and the others were all ashamed.

Does this mean all muscular men share a single brain? They actually look more harmonious than a girls' school field trip!

Chapter 205 is like the Mariana Trench!

"Everyone! The men's competition is now starting. Players whose names are called, please come up to the stage to compete!"

"Ura la la!!!"

"Yay!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, the SILVERMANGYM screen went down, plunging the entire training room into darkness with only dim lighting.

However, compared to the bright sunshine just now, this kind of underground environment has a much better atmosphere!

Hearing the cheers all around her, Hibiki Sakura was flustered as this was the first time she had faced such a situation, while Yu Miyazawa was already used to it and joined in the shouting.

"Ganbatte!!!"

"Wait a minute, why is Brother You so excited? He's making too much noise!"

"You have to shout it out loud when you watch a game, it's basic etiquette! Shout it out!"

Wiggling his finger, Miyazawa Yu, with his eyes closed, disappointedly reminded him, "What would Hibiki think if there was absolutely no sound when you went on stage?"

"Feeling ignored, or experiencing awkward silences?"

"That's right! So the least disappointing way to watch the game is to cheer everyone on with your most sincere encouragement!"

Seeing that his slow-witted disciple was finally getting on the right track under his patient guidance, Miyazawa Yu reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, the match on stage quickly came to a conclusion. After all, it was an unranked competition, and sometimes there were indeed situations where the skill gap was too large...

"Ah, your strength is truly formidable!"

"No, no, no, your muscles are much more well-defined. I definitely can't compare to you in the same class..."

"Unexpectedly friendly!"

Watching the sumo wrestler with strange markings on his body and the man in the flat-top Americana vest leave the ring, Hibiki Sakura, exasperated, picked up the match schedule and found the two men's positions.

The next pair of contestants...

"Yu, it's your turn to go up next! Your opponent seems to be a bigger weight class than you!"

"At the level of Yu-nii or Coach Naruzo, weight class and such are no longer important..."

Ayaka Uehara broke out in a cold sweat. After all, they were all non-human beings who could rip clothes off directly. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that competing with ordinary people was like the strong bullying the weak!

"Hey, hey, please be mindful of your age, I'm totally at a disadvantage~"

To balance the girls' mood with a joke, Miyazawa Yu stood up and walked onto the field at the host's call, while the virgin uncle had been waiting in a pose for a long time.

"You brat! Today I'll show you the power of systematic training and secondary development!"

"Please, don't bring up secondary puberty again, it's really embarrassing..."

With her elbows resting on the soft cushion on the table, Miyazawa Yu couldn't bear to continue watching the virgin uncle belittle her.

Although he couldn't speak and was a bit smug, the burly man in front of him was genuinely kind-hearted and sincerely thanked him after receiving help.

Since that's the case, let's go easy on him a little and not let him lose so badly.

"Hmph! Thanks to you, I've met a coach who appreciates me and teaches me everything he knows. You'd regret it if you underestimated him!"

Stomp your feet heavily on the left and right sides of the playing platform to increase grip and lower your center of gravity.

At the same time, his leg muscles bulged high, tilting his body forward to assume the best power-generating posture. The virgin uncle placed his thick arms on the soft mat, his eyes full of vigilance.

That's right! Although they say it so casually, their actions speak louder than words.

As a player who had fought Miyazawa Yu once before, he understood the former's strength better than others, so he naturally put more effort into meeting the challenge!

"Yosh! Ready? Aren't you going to get ready too?"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Symbolically, Miyazawa Yu placed his hand on the handle to steady himself, and with a smile, he offered his right hand. The hands, which were obviously different in size, finally clasped together after a few attempts.

"Both sides, prepare! Three! Two! One—! Go!"

“Aaaaaaaah!!!”

With a sudden burst of power, the virgin uncle reacted instantly before the initial echo had even faded, his arm muscles rapidly expanding and veins bulging.

This is one of the techniques in arm wrestling: as long as you can turn the tide of the battle to your side as soon as possible, you can gain a greater advantage by using your body weight!

Such a step-by-step approach means that whoever seizes the initiative first has already secured victory!

"Fall down! Aaaaaah..."

His eyes were bloodshot, and everyone present thought that the virgin uncle had already secured the victory by shouting so loudly.

The situation on the competition stage was quite clear, because the two hands clasped together did not shift at all, remaining firmly in the middle with very little trembling.

"That is!"

Her pupils dilated instantly as Tachibana Rimi recalled what had happened during training a few days prior.

"That's right! It's a stalemate due to a huge difference in absolute strength!"

Her eyes instantly turned serious, and Ayaka Uehara's style changed as she began to explain earnestly.

"Because one side is too strong, there's no need to be serious at all. Just use a certain amount of force to pin your arm in place, and the other side won't be able to move it no matter what!"

"It's not surprising, after all, he's Yu-nii-san, so it's not unexpected that this would happen..."

……

"Cough! Cough! Why, why can't I move it no matter what I do!"

He gripped the stabilizer bar and exerted force, but even with double the strength, the virgin uncle couldn't budge Yu's arm an inch!

Moreover, judging from the fingers that were loosely gripping the stabilizer bar, that brat Yu definitely hadn't even used one-tenth of his true strength!
