"Morning Peacock."

As the battle began, Might Guy charged towards Asuma Sarutobi at extreme speed, launching a flying kick.

Asuma Sarutobi didn't flinch at all, raising his arms to block Might Guy's attack.

However, he had clearly underestimated Might Guy's strength.

Unable to block it, Asuma Sarutobi was immediately forced back three steps, his arms aching faintly.

"Konoha Whirlwind."

Seizing the initiative, Might Guy pressed his advantage, advancing directly and aiming for Asuma Sarutobi's head with Whirlwind Leg.

He intended to deliver a heavy blow.

Having just suffered a disadvantage, Asuma Sarutobi naturally wouldn't choose to clash head-on with Might Guy again. After ducking to dodge, he immediately began forming hand seals.

Catching sight of Asuma Sarutobi's movements from the corner of his eye, Might Guy twisted his entire body in mid-air and kicked at the half-crouching Asuma Sarutobi again.

However, Might Guy's attack this time was unsuccessful because Asuma Sarutobi had already escaped his original position, leaving behind only a clone.

"Where is he?"

Landing and stabilizing himself, Might Guy immediately began searching for Asuma Sarutobi after destroying the clone.

"Above!"

Suddenly, Might Guy felt the sunlight overhead being blocked. He immediately looked up and discovered Asuma Sarutobi leaping down.

If Asuma Sarutobi knew a Five Element Ninjutsu at this moment, even the least powerful one, it would be certain defeat for Might Guy.

However, even as the son of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Asuma Sarutobi had not yet learned any Five Element Ninjutsu, so he could only engage Might Guy in close combat.

At the same time, Might Guy seemed to have lost his mind. Anyone would know that Asuma Sarutobi, attacking from the air, had the advantage. The usual choice would be to dodge first and then attack.

But Might Guy didn't play by the rules and charged straight ahead.

Pah!

He charged into the difficulty!

Gathering all his strength, Might Guy pushed off with both legs and shot up into the sky.

"Boom!"

"This is the power of youth, ah..."

After a moment of stalemate, Might Guy, charging into the difficulty, roared in mid-air, simultaneously stimulating his potential and inexplicably generating a surge of power, making him even stronger.

"Bang, bang!"

Asuma Sarutobi and Might Guy both fell to the ground, simultaneously losing their basic combat ability for the time being.

Seeing this, Kaoru Iwabe immediately announced, "Might Guy versus Asuma Sarutobi, a draw."

"Qualified."

As the result was announced, Asuma Sarutobi laboriously stood up. His arms and his right lower leg were still throbbing with pain. Gritting his teeth, he growled lowly at Might Guy, who was still lying on the ground, "Guy, are you trying to kill me?"

Normally, Asuma Sarutobi and Might Guy had a good relationship. One rebellious, one an idiot, who knew how they got along.

Regardless, there was always a spark of excitement.

Asuma Sarutobi, who let out the roar, wasn't truly angry. He was simply shocked by Might Guy, who usually acted like an idiot.

Might Guy, still lying on the ground, couldn't respond to Asuma Sarutobi at all. He hadn't fainted after stimulating his body's potential only because of his thick nerves and a good physique.

But even so, Might Guy's pain at this moment was more severe than Asuma Sarutobi's. He couldn't speak for the time being. He flashed his big white teeth, which was his response to Asuma Sarutobi.

I, Might Guy, never speak quietly.

Looking at Might Guy still lying on the ground, Kaoru Iwabe walked over. After an examination, he determined that Might Guy had suffered muscle strains and was completely exhausted.

Immediately, Kaoru Iwabe called for a medical ninja from the Ninja Academy to treat Might Guy.

At this moment, the students in Class 1 were discussing the injured Might Guy.

"I didn't expect Guy's taijutsu to be so strong. If it were me, I would have lost to Asuma long ago."

"If he hadn't fought Asuma today, we wouldn't have known he was already this strong."

"Tch, he's just a trash who knows taijutsu."

Amidst the discussions, there was shock, disdain, and also, like Vega, who had long anticipated this.

At this moment, Might Guy, who was being taken away, became the center of attention.

"Clap, clap."

While the class was still discussing the fight between Might Guy and Asuma Sarutobi, he clapped his hands, drawing their attention to himself.

"Next, we will conduct the last assessment of the day, Vega Koshima versus Obito Uchiha."

After Might Guy was arranged to be taken away, Kaoru Iwabe didn't waste any time. Standing in the center of the field, he began to have Vega and Obito Uchiha enter the arena.

On the field.

Obito Uchiha looked at Veigar with great excitement, as if victory was already in his grasp. He said to Veigar, "Veigar, I'll show you my strength in a bit and let you know how amazing I am."

"I've already won this match."

Veigar, on the other hand, smiled calmly and replied, "Mm, good luck!"

Veigar on the field had a calm expression, but his classmates off the field couldn't stand Obito Uchiha's arrogance and began to mock him angrily.

"Ha, Obito, you Dead Last are too arrogant."

"The Dead Last actually has the courage to get on the stage. If it were me, I would have surrendered directly."

"Who gave this guy the courage to say he could defeat Veigar?"

"Is he looking for death? Obito, you idiot!"

A Dead Last actually dared to boast that he had already won. This made them laugh with anger.

In contrast, they considered themselves much stronger than Obito Uchiha, yet they didn't dare to say they could defeat Veigar.

What made Obito Uchiha dare to say so? Wasn't this slapping their faces for not daring to fight Veigar?

Was he mocking their lack of courage?

Thus, they vented all their anger onto Obito Uchiha.

"Bastard! He's looking down on me!"

Obito Uchiha looked at Veigar's completely unmoved expression, coupled with the surrounding mockery, and felt immense shame and anger in his heart.

"Both sides form the Opposing Seal."

Although Obito Uchiha was filled with shame and anger, he was still obedient to the school rules.

Like Veigar, after Kaoru Iwabe finished speaking, Obito Uchiha formed a standard Opposing Seal.

"Now, begin!"

The moment Kaoru Iwabe announced the start of the match, Obito Uchiha, who had already prepared for battle, immediately launched the first attack, thinking fiercely in his heart, "I'll defeat Veigar now and show you all my true strength."
