As he spoke, Principal Wang looked fearfully at the dead Giant Mountain Cats around him.
These Giant Mountain Cats were all Class C Demonic Beasts, after all. They were extremely powerful, far beyond what ordinary people could easily handle.
Yet this boy had dealt with all of them alone...
W-was this really one of their students at Qinglong High School?
Just as Principal Wang was thinking this, a puff sounded, and the boy before him turned into a block of wood in the blink of an eye. Then Principal Wang felt a chill against his neck.
Startled, Principal Wang finally noticed that a sharp Kunai had appeared beneath his neck. Another inch forward, and it could easily take his life.
"S-student, I'm Principal Wang from Qinglong High School. D-don't hurt me by mistake!"
Principal Wang hurriedly explained.
Only then did Ning Feng, standing beside him, notice that the person who had appeared was a middle-aged man. He silently breathed a sigh of relief and slowly withdrew the Kunai in his hand.
Ning Feng had not done it deliberately. Rather, anything could happen in battle, and he had to look three steps ahead with every step he took. That was the discipline of a mature Ninja.
Once the danger had passed, Principal Wang turned around and realized that the face before him seemed familiar.
But more shocking to Principal Wang than that was how, even now, the boy maintained the vigilance and awareness of his surroundings unique to a Ninja.
That kind of vigilance was not something one could develop out of thin air simply by entering the Hokage World.
Not to mention that, in that brief instant, this kid had used the Substitution Technique and Clone Technique in succession. That alone was something countless students could not do.
"Y-you're Ning Feng?!"
Amid his shock, Principal Wang finally recognized Ning Feng's face. "With these Giant Mountain Cats attacking the school, if you hadn't acted in time, quite a few of us probably wouldn't be here now!"
"On behalf of the entire school, I thank you, Ning Feng!"
Ning Feng shrugged. "I only did what I should."
In truth, he simply did not want the people who cared about him to get hurt. Whether anyone else lived or died meant nothing to him.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Just then, several teachers swiftly landed. They all stared at the dead Giant Mountain Cats on the ground, their faces filled with horror and shock.
Even though they had witnessed the whole thing, seeing a boy easily kill the Class C Demonic Beasts, the Giant Mountain Cats, still seemed somewhat inconceivable, even unbelievable.
At that moment, Liu Yue quickly came running over with the entire class. Bringing up the rear was Wang Qiang, trembling all over.
Only after seeing that Ning Feng was completely unhurt did the anxious-looking Liu Yue silently breathe a sigh of relief.
Only now did the other students in the class realize, one after another, that Ning Feng had been telling the truth and had not been boasting.
Otherwise, there was no way a Level 10 player could have cleared out so many Giant Mountain Cats.
Compared with Wang Qiang, the supposed top student who had wanted others to go down with him, Ning Feng now stood so tall in their hearts.
"Ning Feng is so strong, yet he's still so low-key... Only now do I realize that Ning Feng is actually the best in our class!"
"Exactly. When the Demonic Beasts came just now, our so-called top student even wanted the lowest-ranked student in class to lure them away..."
"The thought that the person I used to admire and respect was actually Wang Qiang makes me sick!"
Many students finally came to their senses and understood that Ning Feng kept a low profile not because he lacked strength, but because the truly strong did not show off.
At the very back of the class, Wang Qiang saw that all the Giant Mountain Cats around them were dead, then noticed many students directing angry looks at him. He hurriedly snorted. "Hmph, I actually knew long ago that Ning Feng was this strong."
"When I asked the lowest-ranked student to lure the Demonic Beasts away, I was only joking with everyone! What, can't you even take a joke?!"
At that, Wang Qiang gave Ning Feng a cold look. "Ning Feng, don't get cocky! I simply couldn't be bothered to act just now. If I'd acted, I would've killed these Giant Mountain Cats much faster than you!"
Unfortunately, by now, every student had already seen Wang Qiang's despicable true colors, and no one paid any attention to his words.
Beside them, Liu Yue suddenly feigned great shock. "Wow, look! There are actually a few Giant Mountain Cats left, and they're running toward us!"
Hearing this, Wang Qiang was instantly so frightened that he grabbed a student to use as a human cushion.
Wang Qiang's actions immediately earned him even more contempt from countless students.
Without anyone realizing it, Ning Feng's figure stood even taller in their eyes!
Not bothering with a clown like Wang Qiang, Ning Feng looked at Teacher Wang. "Teacher Wang, we can leave school now, right?!"
Teacher Wang and the others were still caught up in the terror of the Demonic Beasts' arrival. Hearing Ning Feng, she suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly nodded in a daze. "Y-yes, school's over..."
Just then, accompanied by the sound of rapid, densely packed footsteps, the Military Police Force Troops from the City Shelter came running over.
The Guard Captain at their head saw the Giant Mountain Cat corpses littering the ground and immediately exchanged horrified glances with the other Guard Members. They all saw the shock in one another's eyes.
Seeing that the Military Police Force Troops had come to protect everyone, Ning Feng shrugged and was about to leave to prepare for the next day's game login when Principal Wang suddenly grabbed him. "Ning Feng, your overall strength should have already reached high-tier Genin, right?!"
"To reach such a level on your very first day logging into the game is truly terrifying..."
"Every key high school, including our Qinglong High School, has the authority to give preferential resource allocations. To thank you for what you did today, I'll apply for some additional resource support for you, so you can level up faster in the online game."
"Take this Ninjutsu Scroll first! I'm afraid you're the only one who can learn it!"
As he spoke, Principal Wang held out a Ninjutsu Scroll to Ning Feng.
Ning Feng paused, only then remembering that Ninjutsu Scrolls obtained in the online game could also be sold outside it for high prices.
He took the Ninjutsu Scroll and spread it open. Only then did he notice that the Ninjutsu recorded on it was actually one of Kakashi's signature techniques: Chidori!
Yes, the A-rank Ninjutsu, Chidori!
Ning Feng had just been worrying about not having a Ninjutsu like Lightning Blade that could deliver a finishing blow to an enemy!
