Jiahao Feast (Part 1)

Everyone ran toward the classrooms at the back.

Only Uchiha moved against the flow of people...

His hands in his pockets.

He calmly headed toward the raised platform where the student council president stood.

"...Again?!"

Kushida tightened her grip on her umbrella. This time, she didn't dare meddle. Without a second thought, she turned and left.

The rain grew heavier and heavier.

Before long.

The ground was covered in uneven puddles.

Uchiha immediately activated his Rain Curtain Isolation superpower.

Awesome!

You're all drenched rats, while I am the Dry Eagle King!!

He stared eagerly at that standing microphone!!

At last, no one could interrupt me while I made... ahem, introduced myself.

But!!!

Things didn't go as planned.

His footsteps suddenly stopped.

He stood there awkwardly.

Horikita Manabu braved the rain and rushed onto the platform. With one hand, he grabbed the microphone; with one arm, he tucked the speaker under his arm. Right in front of Uchiha's eyes!!

He huffed and puffed as he carried off every last piece of amplification equipment...

Hey, hey, hey!!

Did you have to be this responsible?!

At least leave me one thing!

After pondering for a moment.

Uchiha decided to continue carrying out his destined mission!!

"When it rains, Jiahao emerges. Even if I don't speak, everyone will remember me!"

So, he gave up on his microphone-snatching operation.

And began madly running laps around the track!

The students without umbrellas ran unbelievably fast!

In only a few dozen seconds, everyone had rushed into the teaching building's lobby.

Those who needed to dry off did so, while those who needed to touch up their makeup headed to the restroom.

Sakayanagi Arisu was the slowest. Much of her upper body was already soaked.

Her beret had failed to shield her from the wind and rain, and her soft white hair clung damply to her face.

It felt sticky and uncomfortable.

She was considering returning to the dorms to change into a dry uniform.

When the purple-haired girl beside her suddenly cried out:

"Look, what's that guy doing?!"

Hmm?!

Sakayanagi looked in the direction the purple-haired girl pointed.

Then.

Perhaps she had been an adorable kitty in her past life.

Her pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints.

An intrigued smile slowly appeared on her lips.

Interesting.

Under the torrential rain.

The entire open-air venue was completely deserted.

Only a black figure remained, shirtless and displaying an eight-pack.

Like a madman, he charged wildly through the hazy curtain of rain!!!

Raindrops struck his body, refracting a captivating halo.

His running posture was so exaggerated that he looked like the ultimate loser who had been dumped ninety-nine times!

"..."

At the sight.

The first to freeze were the students of Class D.

Quite a few students' mouths fell open unconsciously.

Wasn't that Jiahao, the most conspicuous and shamelessly ostentatious guy in their class?!!!

What, what was he doing?!

What kind of stimulation had he gotten for him to suddenly act like this?!

Amid the downpour, that man punched forward as he ran.

His fist cut an arc through the rain curtain, blasting the rain aside and sending sheets of white spray flying.

"???"

After walking in the rain, now he was boxing in the rain?!!

They had expected Uchiha to go crazy, but the sheer intensity of his insanity had exceeded their imagination a hundredfold!!!

Among the crowd.

Yamauchi stared at the figure in the square, chuckling foolishly as he rubbed his hands together. No one knew what he was planning.

Koenji was drying his hair with a towel when he suddenly noticed that all the girls' attention was focused elsewhere...

Hmm?

Someone was punching in the rain?!

Would that attract girls' attention?

Koenji fell into deep thought as a crazy idea slowly took shape in his mind.

Over in Class B's group.

Ichinose looked worried. The little angel was kindhearted and couldn't bear to let any classmate risk catching a cold.

She borrowed an umbrella from Shiraishi Chihiro and prepared to go bring Jiahao in from the rain.

Among Class C.

Ryuuen was a man of few words. "Idiot."

The other students were silent.

"???"

They had never seen anything so bizarre!!!

The sight dealt a tremendous blow to their young hearts!!

"What the hell is this?!"

"Where did this chuunibyou come from? Does anyone know who he is?!"

"Who the hell knows? Isn't he some escaped mental patient?!!"

"What are you standing around for? Film it! I'm dying here!!"

[Swagger +73]

[Swagger +66]

[Swagger +1.1]

[...]

[Current Swagger: 4496.3]

In the square.

Uchiha flashed a wide grin.

The rain wasn't heavy enough!!!

Harder, harder!!!

Meanwhile, not far away.

Among the teachers.

"Where's my ruler?!!!!"

The instant Chabashira saw the scene, her temper flared. The shock on her face was absolutely spectacular.

Seeing the other teachers burst out laughing again and again over the idiotic stunt her student had pulled, she knew she couldn't wait any longer. She immediately grabbed a mop from the corner.

With one powerful stomp, she sent the mop head flying, then gripped the bare steel handle and marched toward the field with murderous intent.

Hmm?!

She had barely taken two steps before freezing.

Because that lunatic, while running, had run straight into the teaching building.

His illness was cured that quickly?!

He wasn't going crazy anymore?!

Among Class D.

Uchiha looked utterly confused.

"Didn't they say Jiahao would spawn on the field whenever it rained?"

"I've already run several laps. Why haven't I seen him yet?"

"My abs are all soaked now, it's just... you know?"

"Oh, right, does the equipment room have sandbags? Without twenty-five kilograms of extra weight, running doesn't feel like anything at all."

"..."

Everyone's mouths twitched uncontrollably.

What could they even say?!!

What did he expect them to say?!!

Slap—

A student card fell from Ayanokoji's waist. He picked it up, took one look, and couldn't hold it in anymore—

[Name: Uchiha Jiahao]

"Fuck, Jiahao is literally your name!"

Ike, who was standing nearby, clearly saw the screen and immediately let out an earth-shaking roar.

No wonder you were so insane. You were Jiahao himself!!!

Uchiha remained calm, pressing a hand to his scalp and slicking his hair back.

Inside, he was practically laughing himself to death. Thanks for the godlike assist, Brother Ike.

Since ancient times, there had always been great scholars eager to argue on behalf of the powerful.

Now, without him saying a word, someone was rushing to introduce his name for him.

But it still wasn't enough!!

The swagger points provided by his classmates were limited, nowhere near enough to save up 10,000 points.

So, he had to fleece some fresh sheep from the other classes.

System, merely leaving a deep impression on the whole class is thinking too small.

If I'm doing this, I'm doing it big!

I'll give the entire school just a tiny little shock!

"Wait!!!" Everyone stood dumbfounded. "How come the torrential rain didn't soak you?!"

Uchiha replied with a serious expression, "Your level of swagger is insufficient. You cannot reach my realm."

He couldn't exactly tell them that he possessed the [Rain Curtain Isolation] superpower...

The entire student body, faculty, and staff: "..."

[Swagger +78]

[Swagger +64]

[Swagger +1.2]

[...]

[Current Swagger: 5085.6]

Damn!

Even after using every trick he had, his swagger was only barely over halfway there!

"I'm getting back to work. I'll be going now."

Then.

Under everyone's dumbfounded gazes, Uchiha plunged headfirst into the rain.

He was still punching!!!!

The force of his fists split the rain into sheet after sheet.

The entire school was laughing themselves crazy:

"Is something wrong with this guy's brain?! What a clown!! I'm dying!!!"

Quite a few people laughed until they broke down. The repeat performance was simply too hilarious!!

Facing the sky, Uchiha recited poetry and hummed a song:

"Good rain knows its season; when spring arrives, it falls!!"

"Apricot blossom rain dampens my clothes, willow wind blows cool upon my face!!!"

"Rain Love's secret goes on and on. I believe I'll see the beauty of a rainbow~"

Rainwater streamed down his face.

Laugh all you want. Once I obtain the Invincible Golden Body, it'll be my turn to laugh!

And just then...

"Me too!!!"

"Class 1-A, Morishita Lan, reporting!!"

A beautiful figure suddenly rushed out of the hall.

Perhaps because she had run too fast, the airheaded comedian tripped on level ground.

Her little face scraped wildly against the muddy ground...

Uchiha was utterly dumbfounded.

First there was the male Jiahao, and now the female Jiaxin?!

When Morishita Lan first appeared, she wore an expressionless face.

"Sorry, but I can't let you steal all the spotlight."

She blankly got to her feet, then—

Started breakdancing in the rain, doing an energetic round of Popping...

Uchiha: "..."

Fuck!

A real Jiahao had slipped into the mix this time!!

Wet-body temptation—feeling it?!!
