Rain-Hao Domain, Instructor Dongshan Guides Me

Uchiha turned his head back and stopped looking at him.

Nothing else mattered.

Testing his new ability was what mattered most.

He silently recited in his heart:

"System, activate Rainwater Manipulation."

In an instant.

Uchiha suddenly formed a connection with heaven and earth.

He tilted his head up slightly. The dark clouds overhead shifted with his thoughts, thinning or thickening, moving nearer or farther away.

This was his first ability: controlling the rainfall by adjusting the density of the dark clouds.

Next came the second.

Water gun.

Uchiha's gaze sharpened. Several streams of rain gathered in the air into an inconspicuous sphere and smashed down onto Dongshan's shoulder!!

Bang—!!

"Fuck, that hurts like hell! Is it hailing?!!"

Dongshan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and thought there was hail mixed into the rain!!

Seeing this, Uchiha's playful side came alive!!

Within a hundred-meter radius, torrential rain poured down, making it impossible for Dongshan to take even a step, while Uchiha remained completely unaffected.

The spectators beyond that hundred-meter range put away their umbrellas one after another, utterly baffled:

"The rain stopped?!"

"No!! Why is it still pouring over by Jiahao?!!"

"This... is the Rain-Hao Domain!!"

"Holy shit, heaven got so impressed by Hao that it bestowed a Rain-Hao Domain on him??!"

"..."

"The rumors are getting more and more ridiculous. Isn't it just localized rainfall? A natural phenomenon!!"

"Whatever the case, I'm genuinely convinced. Rainwater really loves Jiahao—it's been chasing him around just to soak him!!"

On the track.

Dongshan's expression turned ugly.

The sudden increase in rainfall also meant that the oxygen content in the air had plummeted.

He could not hold on any longer.

"Looks like it's hailing," he said, raising his hand in surrender. "I'm done. I concede..."

But!!

Uchiha suddenly reached out and supported him.

With a grave expression, he said:

"Aren't you going to avenge the grudge from ten years ago?"

"Ten years ago, you failed to break through your own bottleneck. Isn't this the best time to get your revenge?"

"Believe me, you can do it."

"You must take fierce revenge on that cowardly version of yourself who failed to persevere back then!!!!"

Dongshan froze.

He had just been wondering why Uchiha had suddenly shouted, "Aren't you going to avenge the grudge from ten years ago?" So this was what he had been waiting for.

Was he trying to wake me up?

After hearing those words, his blood immediately began to boil!!

Yeah, once upon a time, he had been so full of spirit. How had he ended up becoming such a pathetic mess?!

He always used his age as an excuse, but there were eighty-year-olds running marathons too!!

He could lose to gifted students, but he absolutely could not lose to himself!!!!

Feeling the strength in Uchiha's arm, he felt power surge through his entire body. He could still run another three or five laps!!!

Uchiha encouraged him:

"Don't lower your head. Your crown will fall."

Did you think Uchiha was acting out of pure kindness?

No, no, no!!

In truth, his scheming nature had gone wild.

The competition was not over yet!!

The corners of Uchiha's lips curled up slightly.

What a joke. You targeted me so much just now!!

Of course I have to make you suffer a little too.

Dongshan's eyes brimmed with tears. Those words were so well said.

Then he let out an angry roar:

"I refuse to accept this!!"

"I'll break through the shackles of age! I'll surpass my physical limits!!"

"My fate is mine to decide... blegh."

The rain was too heavy, and his mouth was filled with rainwater. He could no longer speak.

Boom!!!

Uchiha directly dragged him along and switched into high-speed mode!!

"Keep saying it: I refuse to accept this!!"

Cold, icy rain slapped wildly across his face!!

Dongshan opened his mouth to speak, but a torrent somehow jammed up his throat.

Uchiha held Dongshan's body up with one hand.

"Why aren't you saying it?! Are you going to become that weak kid from back then again?!"

Dongshan tried to speak again, but rainwater flowed backward into his nose. "Cough, cough..."

Uchiha put on a serious face. "Answer me!!"

He activated a rain net around Dongshan.

"Why are you silent?"

Dongshan: I fucking want to talk too!!

At this speed, with such thin oxygen and rain pouring down everywhere, do you think I can talk?!!!

Uchiha sped up again!!!

"Just tell me, do you want revenge or not?!"

"...???"

Dongshan rolled his eyes wildly. Revenge my ass!!

Can't you see I'm practically dying here?!

"..."

The sight of the two supporting one another and moving forward together made quite a few sentimental students' eyes turn red.

"This is the Olympic spirit! Never abandon, never give up—I'm crying so hard!!!"

"Ah, what admirable character. Brother Jiahao, I support you! Help the teacher whose stamina is failing—you can definitely run another ten laps!!"

"Come on!! Persistence is victory!"

"Hang in there, you're the fattest!!"

"Though slow, one must keep moving without rest. Though behind, though defeated, one can surely reach the goal one longs for."

"—Lu Xun."

At that moment.

Dongshan finally spotted an opening.

Using the last of his strength, he shouted in grief and indignation:

"I'm not avenging anything! I'm not getting revenge anymore!! Stop fucking dragging me around!!!"

"Oh."

Uchiha wore a little devil expression:

"ฅ(`ω´)ฅ"

"You should've said so sooner."

Dongshan: "...?"

Everyone else:

"ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•͓͡•ʔ???"

Just then.

A Maybach came roaring out from the distance. Its obsidian-black body resembled a steel beast, radiating immense pressure.

Sakayanagi parked the car directly on the track.

He threw open the door and roared furiously:

"Dongshan, if you drag Uchiha..."

Standing beside the car, Sakayanagi's voice cut off halfway.

He stood there stupidly, completely stunned.

He looked at the ravaged track, then at Dongshan, who was tucked under someone's armpit and foaming at the mouth.

Then, he looked at the masked boy strolling along as if taking a leisurely walk.

The highly jarring scene created a stark contrast.

"..."

Sakayanagi's face was filled with confusion.

Could someone tell him what the fuck was going on?!!!

Horikita and Tachibana Akane, who got out of the car after him, were equally dumbfounded by the sight.

"..."

Horikita was the first to come to her senses. "You two are..."

Uchiha looked up at them, his tone easygoing.

"Can't you tell? Instructor Dongshan is coaching me in marathon running."

Tachibana Akane: "..."

She looked at Instructor Dongshan's waxy pale face, then at Uchiha's calm face, which had not shed a single drop of sweat.

Coaching?!

Who the fuck was coaching whom?!

You ran the PE teacher into the ground, then turned around and claimed he was coaching you?!!!

"???"

Sakayanagi's eyelids twitched furiously.

The same classic question arose once again:

Had the world finally gone mad beyond his recognition?!!

At that moment.

Dongshan weakly raised his head and glanced at the chairman.

Then.

Using every last bit of strength he had left.

"Chairman... quick, quick, make him stop dragging me around. I'm not getting revenge anymore... I... I can't breathe!!"

He broke free and rushed to the side of the field, vomiting violently—

Stomach acid, food scraps, rainwater, and all kinds of liquid poured out...

Sakayanagi: "???"

I'm not dreaming, am I?!?

He... he ran the PE teacher until he puked?!!

He was completely stunned.

He had already been shocked when he watched the video footage earlier.

But now that he was standing on the track in person, looking at the scene before him.

The shock of seeing something utterly different from what he expected was several times greater!!

"..."

Sakayanagi's scalp tingled, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.

He suddenly turned to Horikita.

"I heard Uchiha achieved such terrifying results only after your special training?"

Horikita: "?"

Special training?

She had not even seen Uchiha these past few days!!

What the hell did I train him in?!

He was obviously just insanely talented!!!

She felt that if she sparred with him again now, she might even get hit by several of his punches!!

This guy's strength was improving far too quickly!!!

How had he gotten stronger again after just a few days?!

And he'd completely blown away a gold medalist like that?!

Was he even human?!

[Critical Hit! Passion +3004]

[Passion +888]

[Passion +666]

[Passion +999]

[...]

At that moment, Uchiha watched the Passion points flood the screen, feeling absolutely ecstatic.

Senior Horikita had given him so much all by himself!

Just as expected of sensitive skin!!

Spraying gold coins at the slightest touch!

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!

Sakayanagi sighed and waved at Uchiha.

"Get on the bus first. I have a task for you later."

Uchiha said, "A task? What task?!"

Sakayanagi said, "Something related to the student council. Horikita, Tachibana Akane, and that Ichinose from Class B in the first year, all of you get on the bus too."

Ichinose, who had been watching the show, looked utterly stunned. "Huh?!!"

Seeing her friend frozen in place, Kushida shoved Fat Bo forward with one hand and whispered,

"Remember to confess to Jiahao!!!"

"..."
