I Accept the Challenge

"Alright, everyone, quiet down for a moment."

"Before today, our first day of school, the war had caused damage to our academy, but now we can finally start our lessons properly."

"Next, I would like the entire class to head to the training grounds."

"I don't know if you have been practicing diligently at home during this long break. The upcoming training is for me to see your current strength, and then I will assign you into groups."

The teacher stood on the podium and spoke loudly to the students below.

Upon hearing the teacher's words, Uchiha Kawazo instantly became excited; after all, this was the only time he could properly teach Uchiha Matsuzaki a lesson.

"Very good, let's see what you do now. Prepare to meet your end!"

"I'll let you know the true cruelty of this world."

Uchiha Kawazo shifted his gaze toward Uchiha Matsuzaki and muttered to himself.

"It seems someone already wants to teach you a good lesson. You'd better be careful from here on out; don't let me down."

"After all, I did see your impressive display last time."

After noticing Uchiha Kawazo's gaze, Chestnut Snow deliberately leaned her head toward Uchiha Matsuzaki and whispered.

Uchiha Matsuzaki understood perfectly why she was doing this, but he felt quite helpless.

"I never expected that women would truly be the greatest enemies of us men! Especially beautiful women like this."

"But one can't resist the temptation; it's really troublesome!"

Uchiha Matsuzaki shook his head gently in resignation and thought to himself.

During this time, Yamamoto Takeshi felt extremely helpless; he had no idea what kind of relationship Uchiha Matsuzaki had with this girl who had just transferred into their class!

"Now, I will explain the rules for the upcoming matches."

"No one is allowed to take another's life, and you must not use lethal force; stop once you've made your point."

"For those without a set list of opponents, if you want to challenge someone, tell me and I will arrange the match. If the gap in strength is too large, I will refuse."

The teacher briefly explained the rules for the upcoming duels.

Ten minutes later, everyone in the class had slowly arrived at the training grounds.

The training grounds, having undergone a major renovation, were truly different from before; not only had many useful facilities been added, but the space had also become much larger.

"It really is different from how it used to be after the renovation, and with so much new equipment, we can finally train properly here."

Uchiha Matsuzaki stood in the middle of the training grounds, looking at the equipment as he spoke softly.

"Teacher, I want to challenge..."

"Very well, approved."

At this moment, someone already wanted to challenge an opponent and proceeded to inform the teacher.

Three or four minutes passed, and there were only a few people left in the class.

"Teacher, I want to challenge Uchiha Matsuzaki."

Just then, Uchiha Kawazo stepped forward and said to the teacher with a smirk.

"Uchiha Matsuzaki is in for it now."

"Yeah, he's the dead last in our class. It looks like he's going to be finished this time."

"Indeed, he's always been bullied by those few guys."

The teacher coughed a few times after hearing this and said, "Student Kawazo, I'm afraid that..."

"I accept!"

Before the teacher could finish speaking, Uchiha Matsuzaki stepped out and said.

At this moment, the teacher and the other students were all astonished, as the gap in their strength was vast, but they did not know that the current Uchiha Matsuzaki was no longer the person he used to be.
