Teaming up Began Part 3, Ashito's Team

''Meanwhile, Jin and Kenya stood together, their expressions serious and filled with intensity as they directed their piercing gazes at Ashito. In contrast, Ashito looked at Sei with a softness and warmth that indicated a deep connection, especially as Sei, who was being held gently by Kenjuro's hand, began to walk out of their area, the two of them moving together with an easy familiarity.

"Waoh, hold on just a second... wait!" Fuji exclaimed loudly, attempting to draw attention to himself as he interrupted the charged atmosphere that Jin and Kenya had created with their intense staring.

He had just emerged victorious in a conversation with Haruto, and now he wanted to step in to halt the silent standoff between Jin and Kenya, who seemed to be having a silent battle of wills. 

"I mean, we really don't need to get into an argument over just one girl, right?... I mean, come on, one girl who is practically everywhere! " He continued, trying to lighten the mood that had become thick with tension.

Fuji chuckled lightly, a habitual reaction of his whenever he felt nervous or wanted to ease the seriousness around him. However, his laughter was abruptly cut short as Jin, who had rushed forward in a burst of motion, could no longer contain his frustration and delivered a powerful punch to Fuji, sending a clear message that the situation was far from humorous.

"What's your problem?" Jin's voice echoed in the tense atmosphere, startling everyone around him with its intensity. The onlookers stood frozen, wide-eyed, taken aback by the sheer audacity of his actions.

Fuji, having just absorbed a powerful punch from Jin, slowly pushed himself up from the ground. He turned to face Jin, his eyes burning with uncontained rage, and his voice dropped to a low growl that resonated with menacing undertones.

As Fuji advanced toward Jin, his body tense and full of aggression, he was abruptly halted by Shinji, who darted forward with a speed unlike anyone else present. Shinji, determined to prevent further escalation, positioned himself firmly between the two, ready to intervene if necessary.

Jin, however, maintained his ground, his voice low and laced with anger, yet surprisingly steady.

"The girl you're talking about is my sister," he stated, making it clear that this was not just a trivial matter for him. At that moment, a dark aura began to swell around him, hinting at the formidable presence of Kenya that lingered just beneath the surface.

With his eyes glowing a fiery red, fueled by a deep-seated fury, Jin's expression remained deceptively calm, even as tension pulsed in the air.

The contrast of his composed demeanor against the storm brewing within him made it evident that this confrontation was far from over, and the gravity of the situation weighed heavily on everyone involved.

"You said, that girl?" Kenya looked serious, staring at Fuji as if he were a psycho killer.

"Are you truly aware of who the girl you're talking about is?" he asked, stepping a few paces closer while those around him stepped aside in disbelief and amazement. The air was thick with tension, but only Jin seemed genuinely concerned, as if he sensed that the very fabric of reality might soon unravel.

"Hahaha! Remember, Ishigami Sei is my older sister." He paused walking as he faced Fuji and turned to Ashito, who remained calm.

As Kenya spoke, he began to turn away, making his exit alongside Jin, who promptly followed him. A few others, observing the sudden movement, decided to join in as well, drawing attention away from Ashito's team, who remained behind, watching the unfolding scene with disbelief. As Jin and the others departed, Ashito, feeling the weight of the moment, turned his gaze toward Fuji to assess how his teammate was holding up.

"Fuji, that's not like you at all," Ashito remarked with genuine concern as he approached Fuji, reaching out to grab a towel for him. Fuji was nursing a swollen face, clearly the result of having taken a punch, and the impact was still evident on his features.

"I didn't mean it that way either," Fuji replied, his tone a bit sullen and defeated. He looked down for a moment, as if the situation weighed heavily on him.

"I honestly didn't know that Ishigami was their sister. I just thought we needed to take them down to find another girl. It was just a strategic move in the game." He shrugged his shoulders in resignation, conveying that getting punched in the heat of the moment was something he felt was unavoidable, an occupational hazard in their line of play.

"Never express yourself in that way, especially if you're not looking to receive a punch from anyone else," Miruto suddenly chimed in after being silent for a moment.

His tone suggested he was joking, and he delivered his line with a playful spirit as if it were meant just for amusement among his friends. With his humorous take on the situation, he managed to elicit laughter from everyone around him, turning what could have been a serious comment into a lighthearted moment that brought joy to the group.

"Where did you happen to meet that girl, Ishigami?" Iwaizumi Sasuke asked, breaking his silence after having been quiet since the earlier incident. His curiosity finally got the better of him, and he wanted to know more about what had transpired.

"Yes, I was also wondering the same thing," Akashi Mamoru chimed in, reinforcing Sasuke's inquiry and picking up right where he had left off. Both seemed eager to uncover the details of the situation.

Meanwhile, Ashito and the others were still engaged in a heated argument with Jin, they were not there. 

"Hey, I think I'm interested in her too," Ishikawa Aiba suddenly exclaimed with a cheerful tone, catching the attention of his friends.

This came as a surprise since he had just arrived and joined the group, but his enthusiasm was unmistakable. His friends looked at him with curiosity, intrigued by his sudden declaration regarding the girl they had all been talking about. 

HAH!!??

Everyone's confused expressions puzzled him, prompting him to look around with questioning eyes. 

"Hmm?" He raised his eyebrows, asking for clarification.

''WHERE THE HECK DID YOU COME FROM?''
