Medical Ninja

"Do you want to eat this?" Hinata Ayane's voice rang out.

Her voice was soft and gentle, pleasant to hear.

She turned sideways, and Hyuga Qingchuan's gaze followed downward.

He saw her move aside the two upright textbooks at the outer edge of the desk, revealing the little stash beneath them.

Bread, snacks, drinks—there was everything, an abundant selection.

Everything had been arranged neatly, evenly, and symmetrically.

"Do you like anything?" Hinata Ayane asked quietly.

Hyuga Qingchuan glanced at the dazzling stockpile and declined with a smile.

"I ate a very filling breakfast. Thank you."

That morning, his grandmother had nearly pried open his mouth to feed him herself. He truly could not stuff down another bite.

The class bell rang.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Inoue Lingyue once again struck the lectern with her ruler.

"Class begins now."

The sound of the ruler hitting the lectern seemed to have been etched into every student's DNA.

Whenever that collision rang out, even the most restless hearts were forcibly calmed.

Those who had turned around to talk or mess around all stopped.

The noise vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, Hyuga Qingchuan and the others hurriedly sat up straight as well.

During the first class, teachers usually talked about "nonsense" like course schedules and disciplinary requirements.

Taking advantage of the time, Hyuga Qingchuan opened his book and skimmed through the table of contents and outline.

He then flipped to the relevant chapter and looked over the concepts.

Once he had a general grasp of what the lesson would cover, he settled down and listened attentively.

The things taught at school were still useful before one's strength could crush everything.

Exceptional battle IQ itself required extensive knowledge as its foundation.

Itachi, mocked as AB's beloved son.

Whenever he found himself in a predicament, he could always dig up obscure intelligence that no one else knew from some corner of his knowledge, turning the tide of battle.

Bloodlines were useful, but when both sides stood at the same level of strength, what determined victory or defeat was their battle IQ.

Even Kaguya, with her bloodline maxed out, had ultimately been sealed away.

Before he knew it, the first class had ended quickly.

Throughout the lesson, Hinata Ayane secretly snacked several times under the desk, consuming a considerable amount. She seemed especially prone to hunger.

However, she no longer ate in huge mouthfuls as she had at first.

Instead, she nibbled delicately in small bites, looking very elegant.

Yet the little glances she occasionally stole at Hyuga Qingchuan exposed a heart far less quiet than she appeared.

After one lesson, Hyuga Qingchuan felt considerably more fulfilled.

He stood up, intending to go to the restroom and make some room.

But a fairly pretty short-haired girl suddenly stepped in front of him.

The other girls, who had also been eager to stand up, quietly sat back down upon seeing this.

"Qingchuan!" The girl clasped her hands in front of herself, her expression somewhat shy and bashful. "I found a really delicious restaurant. Let's go try it together tonight?"

"I have something to do tonight. Thank you." Hyuga Qingchuan smiled as he refused and started to leave.

The girl hurried after him. "Qingchuan, my name is Kobayashi Hong."

"Hello, Kobayashi Hong." Hyuga Qingchuan kept walking without even turning his head.

Kobayashi Hong caught up with him again.

"If you think it's awkward to say, you can call me Xiaohong. Everyone calls me that."

"Alright, Kobayashi Hong." Hyuga Qingchuan answered flatly while quickening his pace.

Only when he saw from the corner of his eye that Kobayashi Hong had failed to keep up did he let out a sigh of relief.

According to the previous owner's experience, if a parking space was not open to the public, then its "full" light needed to be lit from the very beginning.

A flashing green light would only give outside cars the wrong idea, making them linger until they ran out of fuel and blocked the entrance.

Seeing Hyuga Qingchuan quickly enter the men's restroom, Kobayashi Hong could only stop reluctantly.

With her lips pursed and her face full of unwillingness, she returned to her seat.

"Xiaohong, how did it go?" The girl beside her leaned over.

Kobayashi Hong shook her head. "He didn't agree. He said he had something to do tonight."

"It's fine! Handsome guys aren't that easy to win over." The girl comforted her.

"Besides, Xiaohong is our class beauty! That handsome guy will be yours sooner or later."

"Oh, no!" Kobayashi Hong waved her hands, replying somewhat shyly, though her face wore an expression that said it was only natural.

By the classroom window.

"Shinichi, look at Sister Hong."

Uchiha Tsukasa gestured with his chin toward the distant Kobayashi Hong, who wore a bashful expression, and said to Uchiha Shinichi beside him, "That pretty boy started attracting girls the moment he arrived. Even Sister Hong has been lured over by him."

Uchiha Shinichi snorted coldly and clenched his fists. "What use is a pretty face? If he's a man, he'll have to prove himself with his hands."

"Exactly. Who doesn't know that Shinichi is the real genius of our class?" Uchiha Tsukasa echoed.

Uchiha Shinichi crossed his arms over his chest and said proudly, "That pretty boy has repeated grades several times. His skills must be mediocre. Once practical class starts, let's see where he can put that face of his!"

"That's right!" Uchiha Tsukasa suddenly understood. "When the time comes, Sister Hong will see that he's good-looking but useless, and she'll definitely change her mind."

"..."

Hyuga Qingchuan did not know that melodramatic drama had already begun unfolding in the classroom because of his arrival.

And that he had been cast in it as well.

But even if he had known, he would not have cared. Who had that much energy to get tangled up in children playing house?

After returning from the restroom, he glanced at Hinata Ayane, who was eating again, shook his head, and continued reading.

After several classes, Hinata Ayane had wiped out all the bread and snacks of various sizes beneath her desk.

And so the morning classes came to an end.

Words suddenly appeared before Hyuga Qingchuan's eyes.

[Through diligent study, you have received Favor]

[Substitution Technique (Proficient)*1]

[Clone Technique (Proficient)*1]

[Energy Crystals*20]

He had not expected that merely listening attentively in class could trigger Favor.

If these little Favors appeared from time to time, they would be quite a decent source of income.

Ring, ring, ring!

The dismissal bell rang!

The teacher at the front also gathered her teaching materials and announced the end of class.

"See you this afternoon!"

Hinata Ayane's voice rang out.

Hyuga Qingchuan had just raised his head.

She had already stood up, rushed out of the classroom, and disappeared.

Did she have to be this punctual?

He shook his head and began packing up the books on his desk.

After school, he returned home.

His grandmother had already finished preparing lunch.

After eating, Hyuga Qingchuan lay on the sofa and blanked out for a while before going to his room to rest.

The Ninja Academy's schedule was much like that of his previous world. He slept for thirty minutes, then got up and headed back to school.

The afternoon classes were taught by other teachers.

They covered basic subjects such as Overview of Kunai Combat, Basics of Trap Placement, and Hidden Weapon Throwing.

Hyuga Qingchuan had already obtained this knowledge through Favor and had considerable practical experience with it, so it was not very useful to him.

What he lacked now was not skill-based knowledge, but rather common knowledge.

He casually picked up a book and swept his gaze over it.

Overview of Medical Ninja

Hyuga Qingchuan opened the cover of Overview of Medical Ninja.

At the center of the title page was a message:

"The value of a medical ninja lies in protecting the lives of their comrades. Those who do not know how to cherish their comrades do not deserve to become ninja, much less medical ninja. —Lady Tsunade"
