Excuse me!
Suddenly, a voice rang out, and the owner of the voice was none other than Boji had been standing to the side watching for a long time.
"???"
Seeing this, the students standing in the queue had countless questions popping into their heads.
They originally thought that Boji would wait until they finished their simulated duel before challenging them.
But I never expected that I would have already gotten out of it.
Most importantly...
There were many opportunities for Boji to speak up, but he didn't. He only spoke when Ibuki-sensei arrived.
This was something almost everyone present hadn't anticipated, including Maemoto Takashi; no one expected it to happen so easily.
Is there anything I can help you with?
Ibuki-sensei looked in the direction of Boji. He vaguely recognized the person, but this was not his student. He must have graduated from the Ninja Academy not long ago.
"Hello teacher, I didn't mean to disturb you, but I hope that with you and these students as witnesses, I can challenge Araki!"
Boji said he didn't mean to disturb, but he actually did. After saying those words, he immediately looked at Araki in the crowd.
" Araki!"
"I represent the Pale Yellow School in today's challenge."
I won't make things difficult for you.
"If you don't want to fight."
"Then we, the Pale Yellow School, have won."
Boji said calmly, his expression as if he had Araki completely under his control, effectively blocking him from both ends.
If you choose not to fight, then I win!
If you choose to accept the challenge, defeating you will still be my victory!
Boji is aiming to win this time!
"Hiss..."
The students present gasped in shock upon hearing Boji's words.
They had overestimated Boji's arrogance as much as possible, after all, this guy was standing right there on the playground, right in front of them, waiting for Araki.
But what I didn't expect was...
Boji actually showed up here just like that, before their simulated duel.
This was far beyond people's expectations!
"We're still in class. If you have any personal grudges, please discuss them after class," Ibuki-sensei said coldly.
He could tell that this person was intentionally trying to provoke him.
Furthermore, by observing the Konoha ninja Forehead Protector worn by this person, it was easy to guess that he was already Genin.
In his opinion, it was too early for Araki to face Genin; he would definitely not be a match for him. Therefore, he had to step in to protect Araki.
at the same time.
Actually, the teacher thought this person Boji was somewhat shameless, especially his statement that avoiding a fight meant losing.
"Hello teacher, I won't take long, just a few minutes. I can solve this problem quickly," Boji said confidently.
"I'll say it again, it's class time now." Ibuki-sensei's face turned very ugly.
" Araki, are you just going to hide behind the teacher like this, not daring to say a word?"
Boji looked at Araki again, a mocking smile playing on his lips, giving off an air of smug satisfaction.
"You'll get out of class eventually, won't you?"
"Your teacher won't always protect you, will they?"
"If you don't accept my challenge now, I'll come find you again after class, if you don't mind the trouble..."
I have plenty of time to play with you!
Boji spoke one sentence after another. He didn't appear particularly arrogant on the spot, but his words carried a strong sense of pride, as if he was no longer afraid of the Ninja Academy teachers.
After all, he has already graduated.
The teachers at the Ninja Academy could no longer intimidate him.
Therefore, he can do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't violate the village rules.
According to the rules of Konoha, ninjas can challenge each other. When someone formally issues a challenge, the other person can choose to accept or refuse. If they refuse, they cannot forcefully attack.
It's clear that Boji is very restrained; he didn't attack Araki proactively, but instead tried to provoke Araki with words.
The students present all changed their expressions after hearing what Boji said.
I have to say...
For these students who hadn't yet become ninjas and joined the ranks, seeing Boji's appearance made them think he was insane.
Ibuki-sensei has already made her point so clearly.
They could actually ignore Ibuki-sensei and still challenge Araki, which put immense pressure on each of them.
They wondered how they would react if they were in Araki's position, facing such a situation; they had no idea.
Correspondingly.
They also tried to put themselves in Boji's shoes, realizing that if Boji were to challenge Araki, they would completely lack the courage to continue after Ibuki-sensei said those words.
To some extent.
They felt that Boji was too confident.
Even in front of these people, one can still shamelessly say such things, as if everything is someone else's fault.
That's a skill in itself.
Your attempt to provoke me was clumsy.
Araki shook his head and then stepped out from the crowd, an action that immediately attracted the attention of almost everyone present.
They hadn't expected Araki to actually show up, and everyone looked at the desert with a mixture of doubt and admiration.
This also demonstrates Araki's bravery!
In the past, they didn't think Araki had much courage in such situations, especially since he often conceded Araki in previous simulated duels. But now, he was actually able to step forward on his own initiative.
This is truly breathtaking!
I accept your challenge.
Araki spoke calmly, his tone revealing a strong sense of confidence; he had completely understood the matter.
Previously, it was because his methods were too merciful that after Maemoto Takashi returned to the Pale Yellow School and mentioned this matter, this so-called Senior Brother Boji came to seek justice for him.
Or rather, it's about restoring justice to the Pale Yellow School.
That's still not ruthless enough.
Before his transmigration, Araki had heard the saying, "If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm." Now that he was here, at least in front of the people from the Pale Yellow School, he was not standing firm, which is why people kept coming forward to challenge him.
"Hiss..."
The students at the scene gasped again, this time their shock stemmed from Araki, not Boji.
They never expected Araki to accept the challenge.
The opponent is Genin!
Keep in mind that even though they are both students at the Ninja Academy, they have not yet graduated and have not become ninjas.
Furthermore, the graduation rate at the Ninja Academy is not particularly high.
Ultimately, only the best among them can truly become Genin.
To some extent, it's not shameful for the Ninja Academy student to Genin, so even if Araki didn't accept the challenge, and Jin Boji made a big fuss about it, no one would really look down on Araki.
But...
Then, to everyone's surprise...
Araki actually stepped forward.
" Araki is too impatient."
"Why are you out already?"
"There's no need!"
"The other party is a Genin, why bother arguing with him?"
"Let Maemoto Takashi challenge him if he dares."
Isn't this bullying?
" Araki is too addictive!"
"..."
The students in the queue began to whisper among themselves, their attention fully focused on the matter, eagerly awaiting the outcome.
"You've been provoked by me after all."
A bright smile spread across Boji's face; the words he most wanted to hear were "accept the challenge."
The reason he came out at this point in time was to deliberately embarrass Araki and create a situation where Araki was in a difficult position.
If it happens after a simulated duel, there are many excuses, such as being exhausted. At that point, forcibly coercing someone would be taking advantage of their vulnerability.
Another point.
After the simulated match, many people probably dispersed, and there wasn't that kind of audience effect of people gathering together.
That's why Boji chose this particular time to challenge Araki, right before the simulated duel, when almost the entire class was present.
In this way...
