I Eat Hot Pot, You Eat Hot Pot Base

Uchiha looked utterly serious.

He turned to Dongshan. His Photographic Memory superpower activated, and he recited the man's résumé word for word:

"You first competed in the decathlon at eighteen and won the national championship."

"At twenty-one, you represented Japan at the Olympic Games and firmly claimed first place in the world."

"From twenty-two to twenty-four, you topped the rankings for three consecutive years. I heard that when you were twenty-three, a competitor who came in second was utterly crushed by you in every respect. His faith in the path shattered, and he retired on the spot."

"During that time, you also challenged all kinds of different sports and achieved impressive results in all of them."

"At twenty-five, you got injured. After recovering, you enlisted directly and underwent two and a half years of special forces training..."

"And also, you're still single. The reason you haven't married is because..."

"???"

"Stop, stop, stop!!!"

Dongshan hurriedly cut him off. Don't recite irrelevant stuff in public! That was way too embarrassing, okay?!

This kid's memory was that good?!!

But he seemed to be using all that brainpower on the weirdest things!!

Who the hell had that much free time to memorize someone else's profile???

"Since you know how good I am, are you going to surrender voluntarily?!"

Then he heard Uchiha speak.

"You're kind of weak. It won't be any fun crushing you."

"???"

"..."

Dongshan took a deep breath and said no more.

He would personally make this kid understand what a world champion was made of!!!

It was time to teach this arrogant brat a lesson!!!

"Let me teach you what humility is!!!"

Dongshan signaled Hirata to begin the race.

He raised his hips, pressed two fingers to the ground, and lifted his toes slightly—a textbook starting stance!!

He was going to let Uchiha witness the limits of human acceleration off the starting line!!!

Then leave him eight hundred streets behind and end this fight!!

Hirata stepped forward and swept out a large hand.

"On your marks!!!"

"..."

Out of the corner of his eye, Dongshan saw Uchiha simply standing there blankly. Aren't you going to get into a starting position?!

This was a life-or-death duel, and you were still putting on airs?!!

The next moment.

"Run!!!"

Whoosh!!!

Dongshan let out a low roar, channeling the power of every muscle in his body into the soles of his feet!!

His entire body shot forward like it had exploded!!!

"!!!!"

Both Ryuuen and Ibuki felt that pressure.

They each took a step back at the same time.

Too, too strong.

Was this the strength of a gold medalist?!!

Even Ayanokoji retreated one centimeter.

Dongshan's plan was to pull three or five laps ahead first, make Uchiha surrender obediently, and win the race.

But his hopes were dashed.

Buzz!!

"Humility? You really are a little monument-moving."

Uchiha's figure flashed directly to his right.

"What?!"

Dongshan's pupils contracted.

This kid's starting acceleration was no weaker than his?!

Being young really was great. That explosive power was insane!!

Boom!!!

The two of them tore through the air, sending rainwater flying. Long, rolling wakes of water trailed behind them, turning them into the most dazzling sight on the track.

"You're pretty fast."

Dongshan increased his speed slightly and spoke in a low voice.

Being fast doesn't mean you have good endurance. I'll wear you out sooner or later!!

Uchiha said, "I'm just matching your pace."

"Demon blade unleashed, can't be seen, footwork, footwork."

"Sorry, but I'll be taking the lead."

Whoosh!!

Dense raindrops seemed to coil around Uchiha's body!!

Crackle! Crackle!

His legs erupted with thunderous blasts!!

Churning water splashed in every direction.

He roared forward like a speedboat!!!

Dongshan's expression stiffened.

Then he comforted himself.

"Stupid kid, you still can't keep your cool. Going all out so early—let's see how many laps you can last?!!"

As he spoke, he accelerated again.

One minute later.

Uchiha said, "Ah, I accidentally got four hundred meters ahead of you."

Dongshan's heart jolted. His brain was having trouble processing this!!

He had fallen one lap behind in just a minute. Wouldn't he be ten laps behind in ten minutes?!!

Thinking that, Dongshan bit his lip until it bled!!!

He accelerated again!!

"Kid, I'm bringing out my real strength now. Don't get scared!!"

Hm?

Sensing the other man's sudden burst of speed, Uchiha shook his head.

"Still a little slow. I'll get going first."

With that, he vanished in a flash.

One minute later.

Uchiha once again ran shoulder to shoulder with Dongshan!!!

He looked at the dumbfounded Dongshan before him.

"Well?"

"..."

Dongshan stared at Uchiha, his eyes filled with shock.

What the fuck... were you?!

Was this... actually reasonable?!

Could this shit be explained by science?!!

Ryuuen and Ibuki saw the scene.

Their minds practically exploded!!!!!

Two minutes...

He was two laps ahead of the PE teacher???

You had to know, an adult man who exercised regularly could generally run about four hundred meters in a minute!!!

But Uchiha... could run eight hundred, even a thousand meters in a minute!!!

How was that possible?!!

What the fuck was going on?!!!!

Off to the side, Onizuka's face had turned green!!!

Jiahao, you better not win. I'm going to lose badly!!

The other students stared at that lightning-fast figure, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

After a while.

Someone finally broke the silence.

"Awesome! He's got some skill!!"

"Just some skill?!! I'd say he's been hiding his true abilities, right?!!"

"Can't anyone make him suffer for once? It's seriously irritating!!!!"

"What's the rush? Just wait. He'll run out of stamina soon."

"Yeah, yeah, Jiahao thinks this is a hundred-meter sprint. Once he exhausts himself and can't run anymore, it'll be hilarious."

Lane Two.

Dongshan had twenty years of athletic experience. After his initial shock, he quickly calmed down and adjusted his breathing rate and rhythm.

This time, he held nothing back and directly brought out the breathing method he had developed himself.

As long as there was enough oxygen in the air, he could minimize energy loss to the greatest extent possible and fight continuously for long periods of time!!!

Accelerate! Accelerate! Keep fucking accelerating!!!

He felt that his physical condition was excellent right now. Perhaps he could break through the bottleneck he had failed to overcome years ago!!

Another minute passed.

Uchiha greeted him.

"Hi, we meet again."

"I eat hot pot, you eat hot pot base."

"???"

You fucking...

He was definitely implying that he was fast enough to eat hot pot, while mocking Dongshan for being so slow that even if he made it to the table, he could only eat the hot pot base!!!

Dongshan clenched his teeth, his expression incomparably ugly.

Impossible!!!

How could a college student have such incredible stamina?!

Having both speed and endurance—wasn't that fucking Superman?!!!

The surrounding students were all dumbstruck!!!

This long-distance race had completely surpassed anything they could imagine!!!

Wasn't the PE teacher supposed to leave Jiahao in the dust?!!!

How...

How had it turned around?!!!

And then.

Dongshan's arm swings suddenly became extremely exaggerated as the strength in his thighs and calves erupted together.

He no longer dared to hold back. This time, he gave it everything and had to sprint at full force!!!

Boom, boom, boom!!!

The two figures on the track were like two gleaming supercars racing for speed. On the straights and the curves, the PE teacher's perfect...

The next moment.

The students' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!!!!

They were still neck and neck?!!!

Over the next two minutes.

The two ran evenly matched.

Rainwater flew away, then gathered again.

Mud splashed up, then was trampled down again!

The entire track was plowed over and over.

"...Oh my god!!!"

Everyone huddled together, barely daring to breathe.

They were completely stunned!!!

This didn't look like a race between a freshman and a PE teacher at all!!!

It was clearly two Olympic-level prospects fighting for their lives!!!

!!!

But Uchiha had only just started college...

And what's more!!

From the looks of it, Uchiha still had the upper hand...

Holy shit!!!

Who spread the rumor that he got in through connections???

With this kind of strength, how many schools would be fighting to recruit him?!!

"..."

At the same time.

After finishing his day's work, the chairman turned on the projection screen. Seeing the entire display covered in soaring red stocks, he was in a splendid mood.

"I'm a freaking genius!!"

"Following that brat Uchiha into the stock market, I've never lost a damn cent!!!"

"Hahahaha, awesome!!!"

He sank into the soft sofa, pondering whether he should go fishing after work or treat himself to a spa.

Just then.

"Knock, knock—"

A knock sounded outside.

"Come in."

Horikita Manabu pushed open the door and greeted him politely.

"Good afternoon, Chairman."

(^o^)/~ Sakayanagi Narumori comfortably turned over and said with a grin,

"Oh, it's the Horikita boy. What brings you to this old man?"

The black-haired man handed over an A4 sheet.

"This is Uchiha's application form to join the student council. Please stamp it."

"No problem."

He was in a good mood today, so there was no need to review it.

Sakayanagi walked over to the counter, took the red seal from the drawer, and was about to stamp it...

Suddenly.

A purple-haired girl with twin buns stumbled in, her face filled with terror.

"Chairman, President, this is bad!!"

"Uchiha..."

"Seems to have..."

"Blown up the PE teacher!!!"

Horikita: "..."

Bang!!!

Sakayanagi's hand slipped, and the seal fell to the floor.

He froze completely.

His eyes went wide!!

"What did you say?!!!!"

"Say that again?!!!!"

???

What the hell?!

Weren't they in PE class?!

How had those two gotten into it?!
