Chapter 55 - Chapter 55: Human Strength Has Its Limits

"Hello, viewers. I'm Kino Karen from the Shuchiin Newspaper Club, and I'm currently interviewing the losing team from yesterday's basketball game."

"Excuse me, as the ace of the Kendo club, how do you feel about your loss, Kojima-kun?"

Kojima Souji: "I refuse to answer that question. Besides, I lost at basketball, not kendo. If you've got the guts, have him face me in a kendo match!"

Kino Karen nodded. "Is it because of Uchiha-kun's spectacular feat of getting past five players yesterday?"

Kojima Souji: "Human strength has its limits, but I suspect he doesn't have any limits... But! It's just good stamina. I have absolute confidence in my kendo skills!"

Inside the Judo club training room, Kino Karen held up her microphone to the second victim.

"Excuse me, as the ace of the Judo club, how did you lose, Kondo-kun?"

Kondo Sawa: "His physique and strength are truly enviable. I sincerely invite Uchiha-kun to join my Judo club! And to engage in a close-range collision of muscle on muscle with me!"

On the Shuchiin soccer field, Kino Karen saw the third victim of this interview.

"Um, Hayama-kun, may I ask, as the ace of the soccer club, how do you feel about yesterday's crushing defeat at the hands of Uchiha-kun?"

Hayama Hayato maintained his smile. "You already said I'm the soccer club ace. It shouldn't be a problem to lose to him in basketball, right?"

The newspaper club's Kino Karen nodded slightly.

"So, Hayama-kun, you're admitting that it's normal for Uchiha-kun to single-handedly overwhelm the Class C basketball team?"

"....."

After interviewing Class C, the newspaper club had locked its sights on a certain Classic Literature Club.

"Excuse me, is Uchiha-kun here?"

Uchiha Ryo: "He's not here. You can leave now."

Kino Karen gave Uchiha Ryo a strange look but still put on a professional smile.

"Um, for you to answer that question yourself, that's not really a question anymore, is it...."

Uchiha Ryo stood up helplessly. He had indeed crushed the Class C basketball team with his physical skills yesterday, but he hadn't expected them to be so noisy about it.

"Tell Kojima I'm not interested in a kendo match with him. Tell Kondo I'm not interested in joining the Judo club either."

Kino Karen took notes, then still holding the microphone, she walked in.

"Wow, besides Uchiha-kun, the Classic Literature Club is full of beauties. May I ask how you feel about being here?"

Uchiha Ryo: "There's nothing I don't dare to think."

"...."

"Then, Uchiha-kun, can you tell us how you defeated their three ace players?"

Uchiha Ryo: "They were also very skilled and worthy of praise. Please don't put all the attention on me."

"The three of them are indeed worthy of praise. What strengths do you think Kojima-kun and the others have, Uchiha-kun?"

This is so annoying, Uchiha Ryo thought. I should avoid having any contact with the newspaper club in the future.

"The fact that they had the guts to face me is worthy of my praise."

Kino Karen nodded. She then saw Uchiha Ryo fall silent and ignore her. It seemed this interview was also being forced to an end....

Just as the newspaper club left, Shirogane Miyuki finally arrived at the long-neglected clubroom, but he was carrying a stack of envelopes in his hand.

Uchiha Ryo: "Why are you here?"

Shirogane Miyuki raised an eyebrow. "Although I joined the student council, I'm still a member of the Classic Literature Club!"

Uchiha Ryo nodded. "Oh. So what are those in your hand? Scrap paper?"

"They're all love letters...."

Uchiha Ryo looked at Shirogane in surprise. "I didn't expect you to actually..."

Shirogane Miyuki: "These are all yours! They asked me to pass them to you. Also! What's that supposed to mean! Can't I, Shirogane Miyuki, receive love letters?!"

In fact, Shirogane Miyuki had not received a single love letter since the start of school.

Because everyone at Shuchiin was from a noble background, the girls rarely showed signs of being gold-diggers. So what they pursued was generally looks, academic ability, or athletic ability.

And as it happened, the handsome Uchiha Ryo had not only taken the top spot in the year, but just yesterday, he had single-handedly defeated the three aces of the sports clubs in front of everyone.

Uchiha Ryo: "They're all mine...."

Hayasaka Ai: "You're not going to read that stuff anyway. How about I help you throw it all in the trash!"

Uchiha Ryo took the stack of love letters and then looked at Hayasaka Ai.

"Why should I throw them away?"

Hayasaka Ai put her hands on her hips. "Because they're useless. Reading that stuff is just a waste of time. If you don't believe me, ask them!!"

Yukinoshita nodded. "In any case, I throw away things like love letters every day."

Chitanda raised her hand. "Me too. I don't feel the need to read them."

The girls suddenly started chatting about the topic of love letters, and Shirogane Miyuki suddenly had a feeling... that he was so useless.

Just look at the people in the Classic Literature Club.

President Amakusa Shino was a goddess among the second-years. Although she always made dirty jokes, she was actually very popular.

Yukinoshita Yukino, this ice mountain young lady, her looks and family background made men very eager to capture her.

Chitanda Eru, this youthful and lovely farmer's daughter who was like a little sister next door, also often received confessions from boys.

The new member, Hayasaka Ai... this blonde gyaru from the next class was also very popular in their class, and she had an ambiguous relationship with Uchiha Ryo!

Uchiha Ryo? His popularity had skyrocketed since the basketball game yesterday!

And him, Shirogane Miyuki! Ever since he started studying desperately, his eyes had become fierce, scaring away not just confessions, but even female friends who would say hello.

Although the fact that he was bad at sports wasn't exposed yesterday (it was Uchiha Ryo 1v3 the whole time), he hadn't made any contribution either.

Looking at it this way, who was the only unpopular person in the entire Classic Literature Club?

Shirogane Miyuki: "Uchiha... I'm skipping club activities this afternoon. I want to go home and die."

"Oh. Well, don't actually die."

Today's victor: Everyone (except Shirogane Miyuki).
