Chapitre 183: Tai Otoshi
Judo's most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or take down an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke.
In some sense, both judo and wrestling had the same concept in practice.
Yuuki, who had 100 points on wrestling proficiency, was confident he could beat the bear-like man in front of him. He didn't have many male friends but Takeo was a very interesting guy. He didn't mind to make him his friend.
Yuuki stood up in the mat while looking at him. He put in a stance and waited for the referee to start the match.
---
Takeo looked at the young man in front of him. He had to admit that his best friend Suna would lose to him in terms of appearance alone. He nodded at him and put on a judo stance. He was very cautious. He had seen him throw a lot of guys effortlessly. He was also excited to fight him since he became judoka. There weren't many people who could beat him. Maybe some master but still he could beat some master.
But the young man in front of him gave him some chill. Takeo felt the pressure he had never felt before but this didn't make him afraid and made him even more excited.
Takeo still didn't like him to date many girls since he believed men should be responsible only loved one woman.
"Why did you date a lot of girls?" Takeo asked quietly.
Yuuki didn't answer him immediately, "...Because I love them." His eyes were firm and no lie could be detected from it.
Takeo's image of him started to change. He also fell in love with his girlfriend.
Love can make someone happy and sad at the same time.
Takeo had his own belief that guy should be faithful to his girl and Yuuki had his own belief that as long as you make them happy it will be fine. Their belief clashed and they decided to show each other which belief was stronger.

Everyone looked at the match in front of them with a nervous expression.
Taeko's body was huge and his height was around 200 cm or more but Yuuki wasn't that much different. His body was more to swimmer type and his height around 184 cm. Even though Yuuki was smaller but the pressure he gave wouldn't lose to Takeo.
"TAKEO!!!"
"WIN IT!! TAKEO!!!"
"BEAT THAT HANDSOME GUY!!!"
All the male students cheered Takeo and wanted him to win against Yuuki.
"Yuuki!! Win it!!!"
"WIN IT!! YUUKI!!!"
"I WANT YOUR CHILDREN, YUUKI!!!"
All the female students cheered Yuuki but some of them mixed with strange words but no one cared about her since the match was the only thing in their mind now.
---
Takeo put his stance. He opened both of his feet wide and opened his arms wide. His pose was like a bear that wanted to attack its enemy. He decided to get serious as soon as possible.
The sports teacher also became serious and looked at the two people. He gulped and thought this would be the best match he would see in his life. He also imagined that both Yuuki and Takeo would bring their school judo into the Olympics. He would become the teacher of Olympic champion when he thought about it. He became excited and his expression became dignified.
"Are you ready?" He asked both of them.
Yuuki and Takeo nodded at the same time and gave him a sign to start the match.
He nodded at them and said, "START!!"
---
Takeo took a deep breath and moved forward. He had an advantage in distance since he was his wingspan was longer than him. He tried to grab his left lapel but he was being blocked easily. He frowned but he didn't give up. He kept trying to grab his judo gi but he kept being blocked. He smiled inside and started to get more serious.
---
Everyone who watched the match became silent. They were amazed at Yuuki who kept blocking Takeo's bear like a hand easily. They were very tense until they saw Takeo grabbed Yuuki's left lapel and his left hand.
Everyone was screaming when they saw Takeo almost throw Yuuki.
The girls sighed in relief when they saw Yuuki move back to avoid Takeo.
"I think Takeo-kun will win." One of them said.
Even though they wanted to believe Yuuki would win but in front of a bear-like body of Takeo their confidence was shattered. After all, judo was a sport where the bigger one had more advantage.
---
Mayuki and Chiaki looked nervously at the match. They wanted him to win and they looked at Ranko who didn't show any nervous reaction. They became more confident and watched the match again.
---
Yuuki forgot that he was in a judo match. He saw Takeo move toward him and he decided to do a counter-attack. He grabbed his right lapel and left hand. Then he spread his leg and turned around while pulling him. He pulled him over his outstretched leg to make him fall.
BAMMM!!!
"IPPON!!!" The referee announced the match and made everyone dumbfounded.
---
Takeo didn't move while looking at the ceiling. He knew well what was the move.
It was called Tai Otoshi. Tai Otoshi is a hand throw that should generate a lot of power with very little contact. It can create one of the hardest falls in judo. It is a very common throw, but one which must be studied thoroughly to have any chance of using it successfully on a resisting opponent.
Takeo had to admit that his senpai was very strong. While he was thinking about his last move. He saw him outstretch his hand to help him stand up. He smiled and caught his hand. He knew well that he could get stronger in judo now. All of this because of his senpai.
"Thank you, Yuuki-senpai."
"Hahaha, don't worry about it, Takeo-kun."
