Dumbfounded

"What just happened? Did my eyes deceive me?"

"No, it's true—Uchiha Matsuzaki dodged those attacks perfectly!"

"I never expected him to make such progress in such a short amount of time."

Uchiha Matsuzaki had dodged the attacks with such ease that the surrounding students were left in shock.

Seeing that his attacks had no effect, Uchiha Kawazo was filled with confusion.

"This... how is this possible? What is going on?"

"No, I have to get serious now, or this brat will find an opening. It seems this guy has been training in secret at home!" Uchiha Kawazo muttered to himself while looking at Uchiha Matsuzaki.

Ding, thirty seconds remaining until check-in ends...

"Very good, only 30 seconds left before I can make my move. I'll show him."

"After all, he's bullied me for so long. I have to make him pay and teach him a lesson."

Uchiha Matsuzaki thought to himself.

"What's wrong? Is that all you've got? If that's the case, I really don't know how I let myself be bullied by you before."

Uchiha Matsuzaki continued to provoke his opponent.

"Brat, you're finished!"

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"

Uchiha Kawazo formed hand seals at top speed, then leaped backward into the air and puffed out his cheeks.

Once ready, he placed his hands in front of his mouth and blew hard, instantly manifesting a massive fireball that flew rapidly toward Uchiha Matsuzaki.

"A fireball, huh?"

Ding, check-in successful... Reward...

Uchiha Matsuzaki had completed his check-in and vanished from the spot instantly, not even bothering to listen to what the reward was.

"Boom..."

The fireball slammed into the center of the arena, instantly shrouding the area in smoke.

"Cough, cough..."

"I didn't expect Boss Kawazo's fireball to be this powerful!"

"That kid Uchiha Matsuzaki is either dead or severely injured now."

The two lackeys watching from the sidelines exclaimed excitedly, clearly convinced that Uchiha Matsuzaki was either dead or incapacitated.

"Matsuzaki!" Yamamoto Takeshi shouted, his face filled with worry.

The surrounding students watched the scene intently, all believing that Uchiha Matsuzaki must have been gravely wounded.

Only one person remained calm, knowing that Uchiha Matsuzaki wouldn't be taken down so easily.

Chestnut Snow's lips curled into a slight smile, for she had spotted Uchiha Matsuzaki's figure atop a distant tree.

Matsuzaki-kun, just like last time, you truly surprise me. How will you deal with him next? Chestnut Snow thought with a smile.

"Hahaha, I don't believe you can dodge this one! Do you see it now? This is the gap between us."

Uchiha Kawazo was certain he had defeated Uchiha Matsuzaki.

"Is that so? It seems you have some misunderstandings about my strength."

Just then, Uchiha Matsuzaki's voice rang out from behind him, causing the smile on his face to vanish instantly.

Before Uchiha Kawazo could even turn around, a fist slammed into his waist, sending him flying dozens of meters away.

Uchiha Matsuzaki didn't give him a moment to breathe; he reappeared at his side, pinned him to the ground, and began raining down punches.

The rapid sequence of moves left the surrounding students dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that Uchiha Matsuzaki was completely unscathed and was now relentlessly pummeling Uchiha Kawazo.
