After being kicked, Ryunosuke almost stumbled forward. He then turned toward Ichika behind him in annoyance. "What are you doing?"
Ichika's face was already completely flushed out of embarrassment and anger. "You still dare ask what I'm doing? It's you! In front of this many people, how dare you say such perverted things?"
"What on earth is that baby-making process, you bastard! What if I end up unable to get married later, huh?!"
Ichika, who was wearing small leather shoes, straight away swung her leg intending to kick his face. However, Ryunosuke blocked it with his hand. The sole of her foot pressed right against Ryunosuke's palm, and beyond expectations, it felt incredibly fitting; the size was absolutely perfect.
While struggling hard to hold back that attack, Ryunosuke spoke, "Enough, don't be late, Ichika. The inside of your skirt can already be seen clearly by me."
Reflexively, Ichika instantly pulled back her leg and covered the hem of her skirt. Only after that did she realize that she had been tricked, because she was wearing safety pants, so there was absolutely no problem of her clothing being exposed.
Ryunosuke finally managed to break free, then tidied up his clothes and cuffs which were slightly messed up.
Atsuomi continued to stare at him with sharp, burning eyes.
"You are truly not willing to work under my command?"
"As long as you are willing, Amasawa can be given to you."
This was a form of transaction, as well as a compromise. Because Atsuomi truly no longer possessed any talented people left who could be utilized.
Ryunosuke once again declined the man's offer and stated that he did not need it. At the same time, he also had no intention of returning Ichika. He would not let his girlfriend return to a place like that White Room again.
Behind Ryunosuke's back, Ichika silently stared at this man who was protecting her. For some reason, she suddenly felt this man looked incredibly cool; what was wrong with her?
Atsuomi fell silent for quite a long time. There was no expression of anger like one would imagine; a person at a level like his would not show anger on the surface of his face even though he was annoyed.
He folded both arms in front of his chest and then crossed his legs. With a relaxed and unhurried tone of voice, he asked back to Ichika, who was hiding behind Ryunosuke.
"Are you sure you don't want to come along with me?"
Ichika's body trembled slightly. She chose to remain hiding behind Ryunosuke's back, implying a meaning that was already very clear: she did not want to.
Atsuomi finally silently gave up his choice to take Ichika away. In this school, he possessed no authority to interfere in affairs, and even if he ordered Ichika to tag along, most likely his action would be blocked by Ryunosuke in front of him. Therefore, he was too lazy to speak any further.
Atsuomi lowered his crossed leg and unfolded his arms. He rose to his feet from that luxurious chair and prepared to leave. Before stepping out, he walked past Ryunosuke and took the opportunity to deliver a warning sentence.
"Even though inside this school I can't do anything to you, once you step out of the gates of this school, there will no longer be anyone who can protect you."
This was already an incredibly blatant threat. If Ryunosuke still couldn't catch the meaning, then it would be truly strange.
Ryunosuke stared back at him with a gaze that was no less cold. "I am protected by the grand young master of the Koenji Conglomerate. You.... do you really dare touch me?"
He had used one opportunity from Koenji for the sake of ensuring himself wouldn't be targeted by outsiders in the outside world out there.
If anyone wanted to target him, they would have to measure their own capabilities first whether they were adequate enough or not.
After all, he still possessed one more opportunity left to use Koenji's help.
In addition, he also possessed the contacts of the grand young ladies from the top two conglomerates, namely the Shinomiya Conglomerate and the Shijo Family.
If he were truly backed into a corner, Ryunosuke could really desperately take actions that would make both sides perish together into ashes.
Atsuomi actually also knew very well that even in the outside world, he still couldn't touch this kid.
It wasn't that he never harbored bad intentions. When Ryunosuke went out of school to participate in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournament, he had thought about stepping in to kidnap this kid for the sake of making him a replacement tool after losing Ayanokouji.
However, what could be done; because there was the Koenji Conglomerate protecting him, he couldn't move at all.
Even the current Prime Minister of Japan who held office at this moment was able to sit in his position because he received full assistance from the Koenji Conglomerate. From that alone, it could already be imagined how immense the influence and weight of the Koenji Conglomerate was.
Furthermore, according to reliable information, while at the Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournament venue, someone saw this kid interacting with the grand young ladies of the Shinomiya Conglomerate and the Shijo Family.
Even though it wasn't known specifically what they discussed, roughly it could be guessed that they also intended to recruit him.
It seemed a popular figure like Ryunosuke had been targeted by all the people from the large conglomerates.
But if thought about further, that matter was very natural.
All conglomerates would certainly want to grasp talented people in their own hands for the sake of being educated to become right-hand men for their future successors.
Including himself, Atsuomi, who also wanted to focus on educating Ryunosuke so that in the future when Ayanokouji took over his position, that kid could help him well.
Atsuomi's grand ambition from beginning to end had indeed never changed, which was wanting to keep crawling upwards. If possible, even the position of the Prime Minister of Japan wasn't something he had never considered.
Power was something incredibly addictive, even far more obsessing to people than illegal drugs. Just once a person tasted the sweetness of power, they would never be able to let it go again.
Atsuomi was exactly that type of person. However, what could be done; his heyday had passed and the limit of his capability was stuck right there. At the highest, he could only become a member of parliament from the Kyoei Party, and there were no more opportunities to crawl up any higher.
For that reason, he was highly obsessed with educating his proud son, "Kiyotaka", so that the child could step into a position far higher than himself. This was perhaps a form of hope possessed by every parent in general.
Atsuomi then strode away leaving Advanced Nurturing High School.
Ayanokouji actually wasn't born through a normal process, but rather through genetic matching from all over the world that most suited Atsuomi, as well as from the woman with the highest potential to give birth to intelligent offspring.
Do not disbelieve in fate.
Inside the genetic code, a person's talent was actually already written there. In the eyes of wealthy people, they could freely choose the most suitable partner.
The meaning was how to give birth to the most great offspring; a blend between two parties who were equally strong so that the next generation could be far stronger than the previous generation.
Meanwhile, the identity of Ayanokouji's mother was considered a bit special; she was a call girl... However, Atsuomi did not care at all. In his eyes, this was merely a pure business transaction, completely involving no feelings or love within it.
And Ayanokouji's mother herself belonged to the people who were very relaxed and open.
That matter could be seen from her attitude of giving her son a name using the word "Kiyotaka", which was taken from the name of the number one host in Japan whom she liked the most.
She also did not care about this son of hers; what she cared about was only taking advantage of this opportunity to cling onto the big thigh of the former member of parliament of the Kyoei Party, namely Atsuomi.
Her life likewise kept running as usual; she swirled a glass containing red wine while sitting upon an expensive leather sofa. Even if she called thousands of hosts to serve herself, Atsuomi would not mind at all.
Because the two of them fundamentally indeed shared no feelings whatsoever.
The one wanted the best choice suited within the gene bank for the sake of obtaining the most superior offspring.
While the other one wanted a free life without burdens, at least not needing to worry about matters of money and power.
Both mutually took what they needed.
While putting both hands inside his trouser pockets, Atsuomi strode away leaving Advanced Nurturing High School.
Staring at that back which was slowly moving away, Ryunosuke silently let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time the gaze of his eyes also turned cold.
He knew that this time he had offended an important person. Most likely in the future he would have to intersect directly with Atsuomi.
Even if being called a life-and-death struggle might be a bit too exaggerated, that man would certainly often make his path difficult.
Ryunosuke stared toward Ichika who was hiding behind his back. The girl appeared to still peek out with her small head to ensure whether Atsuomi had truly gone or not.
That reaction for some reason looked a bit funny, making Ryunosuke unable to restrain himself from extending his one finger, bending it until it formed a hook, and then pinching her small prominent nose cutely.
