Sakagami Maou couldn’t believe his own eyes.

“What! What! What is this!”

He had thought that today, with a 99% probability, he would be able to bury Koto Kazuya.

But, as always, Koto pulled off a miracle until the very last moment.

He defied the mere 1% chance.

And the one who brought about that miracle was the man Koto called ‘big brother.’

He stood taller than an average person by a head or two, with a physique so muscular it was obvious even through his clothes.

He possessed the strength to lift and throw people with ease, incredible endurance that didn’t waver at significant blows, and the courage to not flee even when facing dozens.

He seemed like a being born to fight.

So much so that it made Maou wonder if he really was the same kind of human.

“Aaaargh!”

Another Mohawk, struck by the wooden sword wielded by the man, flew away with a scream.

The man was formidable even bare-handed, but with a wooden sword, he was unstoppable.

When he swung the wooden sword he held with both hands, his underlings scattered in fear.

The wooden sword produced an intimidating sound that echoed from afar.

The sight of someone being flung away with each swing was surreal.

“Damn! Foolish guys!”

Maou, observing from behind, eventually decided to intervene himself.

“Hey! Move aside!”

Vroooom!

He revved his trademark red bike, charging toward the man at breakneck speed.

He resembled a raging bull.

“Dieeeee!”

As he shouted with crazed eyes and braced for the collision, he crouched down.

Thud!

Surprisingly, the man didn’t get tossed away like a cannonball.

Instead, he hurled the wooden sword he had been holding behind him and firmly grasped the front bumper of the 500cc bike with both hands, standing his ground.

It was an unbelievable sight.

“Idiot!”

Shocked by this, Maou pressed the accelerator even more fiercely.

The rpm on the dashboard instantly began to climb without limit.

At this point, the man’s body, which was like a pillar, began to be pushed back, but he invalidated Maou’s final struggle in an entirely different manner.

In terms of weight, he lifted both the bike and Maou, a total easily exceeding 200kg.

Then, the man slammed the bike into the ground.

Due to the impact, Maou was ejected from the seat like a ball.

Had he not been wearing protective gear all over, he would have sustained severe injuries.

The man slowly approached Sakagami Maou, who lay sprawled on the ground beside his beloved bike.

The shadow cast by his hood obscured his facial features, amplifying the terror.

“M-monster!”

But the man muttered, seemingly displeased.

“Who are you calling a monster?”

Before losing consciousness, the last thing Maou saw was the man’s shoe soles, covered in mud from a construction site.

Bang!!


With the unconscious Maou slung over my shoulder, I forcibly removed his half-crushed red helmet, which was damaged from the impact.

It turned out he had not wanted to remove his helmet because he had a large burn scar on his face.

Was this the source of his complex?

Once they realized their leader had fallen, the mohawked guys fighting desperately began to lose their will, dropping their weapons one by one.

After retrieving the wooden sword I had used to control my strength, I approached Koto, who seemed to have a lull in the fighting.

“You handled the wooden sword well.”

“Ah, yes.”

As I set Maou down, whom I had been carrying on my shoulder, I asked,

“What are you going to do now?”

“…I need to set everything right. Especially if I want to retire for good.”

“Figure it out yourself.”

After saying that, I patted the bloodied Koto on the shoulder.

“Our promise might be broken, but the gym is always open. Come for a workout. The gym manager likes you a lot.”

Koto, with a dazed expression, soon replied with a relieved smile.

“Yes! Big brother!”


This was the story Koto recounted after resolving everything and returning to the gym.

Ultimately, both the Hyakki Yako and Devil Riders, two biker gangs, were said to have been destroyed.

Hyakki Yako fell apart due to internal strife and betrayal by trusted members, while the Devil Riders naturally disintegrated after their leader, Maou, disappeared following a crushing defeat, leaving no suitable successor.

The team Koto tried to protect ultimately vanished into history, but he spoke with a face of relief.

“It’s for the best. My decision to leave Hyakki Yako stemmed from the group’s gradually changing purpose.”

“The group’s purpose?”

“Originally, Hyakki Yako was a small club formed by people who loved riding. The first leader, Mishima, was cool and admirable, and everyone admired him. The second leader vowed to make Hyakki Yako the strongest rider team in Tokyo, and I, as the next leader, pursued the same goal. But it wasn’t right. As our influence grew rapidly, people started to manipulate it for their own ends.”

It was a common tale.

Explosive growth always came with side effects.

“Honestly, I never expected Mito to betray us. He joined Hyakki Yako with me. He wasn’t like that in the past. I wonder how he ended up this way…”

“Well, you can’t look after every single person’s situation. Moreover, if you’ve known them for a long time and they still stab you in the back, it’s the betrayer who’s at fault.”

Even if not immediately, they would have betrayed him eventually.

“You think so?”

I shrugged at Koto’s face, still full of worry and concern.

“You’re completely retired now, aren’t you? Then cut off all interest in that world. You don’t want to be dragged around every time something like this happens.”

“…You’re right.”

“You’re reborn, Koto. Bikes will no longer accompany you in your life from now on.”

Saying that, I handed him a 10kg dumbbell.

“This dumbbell is…”

“Big brother…”

“So, instead of worrying, do another dumbbell curl.”

Saying that, I got up from my seat.

The five-minute rest time ended, and it was time to resume exercising.

Then Koto, holding the dumbbell in his right hand, stood up and shouted with a powerful voice.

“Big brother! I will follow you for life!”

“Keep it down in the gym.”

“Oh, yes.”

Thus, a new member joined Master Nakayama’s fitness club.

[Is this the real level of high school students’ fights nowadays www]

An anonymously uploaded video with that title rapidly gained popularity among high school students in Tokyo.

The low-quality cellphone camera footage, recorded by an unknown individual, began in darkness.

Bright lights suddenly illuminated the area from all directions, revealing dozens of motorcycles facing off in a space that resembled a construction site, reminiscent of biker gangs.

Biker gangs had nearly vanished after the 1990s, but in Tokyo, those still yearning for the bygone era’s allure united under the name Riders.

In this video, the clashing groups were the largest biker teams assembled, Setagaya’s Hyakki Yako and Meguro’s Devil Riders.

At the video’s beginning, a man sporting an outdated regent haircut and dressed in a black special forces uniform made his entrance on a motorcycle, while a man in a helmet adorned with a red bull, apparently the Devil Riders’ leader, provocatively uttered something.

The audio quality was so poor that it was impossible to discern their words, but the charged atmosphere and the men’s animated gestures left no doubt that they were on the verge of a confrontation.

Then the battle between the two biker factions erupted.

The man with the regent haircut, despite being vastly outnumbered, fought ferociously, brandishing a wooden sword.

But his effort was fleeting. As his comrades fell one after another, the Hyakki Yako members found themselves cornered, and just as a brutal beating seemed imminent…

‘That man’ made his appearance.

His face remained unseen, concealed by the deeply pulled khaki hooded jumper, yet his overwhelming muscles, massive stature, and great height were unmistakable.

This man, exuding an immense presence even through the video, arrived belatedly and single-handedly decimated the Devil Riders.

His astonishing combat prowess resonated vividly despite the poor video quality, ending with the helmeted leader of the rival gang being crushed underfoot and rendered unconscious.

The internet buzzed with controversy over the video’s authenticity, but ultimately, no definitive conclusion emerged.

However, amid the intense debate, one thing was clear…

The man in the video was unanimously named ‘The Strongest in Tokyo’.
