Chapter 49 How did you know I got first place?

Ikegaya Yu stood behind Kimura Sugito with a smile, kneading his shoulders and pounding his back, and said in a fawning tone, “Sugito, can you lend me another 80,000 ryo? I’ll pay you back when I get my salary.”

Kimura Sugito thought to himself, ‘As expected, an unasked-for favor is either a trick or a theft.’ This massage service was quite expensive.

“Why do you need to borrow again? Didn’t you borrow last month?” Kimura Sugito sighed helplessly.

“Didn’t I pay you back when I got my salary last month?” Ikegaya Yu chuckled.

“So you borrow this month, then you have to pay it back, and because you paid it back, you’ll have no money next month, so will you have to borrow again next month?” Kimura Sugito asked.

If he kept thinking like this, he would practically become Ikegaya Yu’s human 80,000 ryo.

“Uh…” Ikegaya Yu was speechless for a moment.

“It’s not what Sugito you think. It’s mainly because we just met, so I have to put in some effort to show sincerity. I definitely won’t borrow next month,” Ikegaya Yu tried to explain.

“You said that yourself, don’t forget it.” Kimura Sugito still took out his wallet and handed 80,000 ryo to Ikegaya Yu.

He didn’t feel bad about the 80,000 ryo, because although Ikegaya Yu wasn’t like a normal person when it came to relationships, he was fine otherwise and wouldn’t fail to pay back the money.

Kimura Sugito just felt that lending money to Ikegaya Yu was harming him, making him sink deeper and deeper.

“Not borrowing next month? Kimura, you think too highly of him. I can already foresee his excuse for next month.” Ueda Aya remained pessimistic about this.

Then she imitated Ikegaya Yu’s tone and said, “Sugito, just lend me one last time. I feel like I can successfully confess this month, and I definitely won’t borrow next month.”

Ikegaya Yu:…

“If it’s a first date, it’s understandable to go to a good restaurant to leave a good impression, but you two have been together for two months. If she truly cares about you, she wouldn’t refuse if you asked her to go eat ramen together,” Ueda Aya tried to awaken Ikegaya Yu’s dormant intelligence.

“And why can’t you choose a time yourself? You always have to let Muzuki Teacher substitute for you,” Ueda Aya said, looking at Muzuki who had just entered.

“She said she’s not free at other times. It’s either this day, or we’ll reschedule for when she’s free next time,” Ikegaya Yu said with some frustration.

He felt very bad about always troubling Muzuki. Ikegaya Yu even wanted to substitute for Muzuki to offset it, but Muzuki always refused him.

“It’s fine, I’m just idle anyway. Teaching more students can also train my own abilities,” Muzuki said with a smile as he walked to his desk.

“Muzuki Teacher is truly too good. It’s just that this personality is really easy to take advantage of.” Hearing Muzuki’s words, Ikegaya Yu couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Feeling a little indebted, Ikegaya Yu couldn’t help but run to Muzuki’s side to pour him tea and water and say some nice things.

Until the time was right, Ikegaya Yu left the office, went home to change clothes, and prepared for his date.

“If Ikegaya Yu were the Medical Ninja for Class 1, Grade 1, that would be great,” Muzuki thought to himself.

In that case, there would be no need to change teachers. If Ikegaya Yu asked him to substitute a little more diligently, it would be no different from him being the Medical Ninja himself.

Directly applying to the Third Hokage to become the Medical Ninja for Class 1, Grade 1, would be unreasonable. How could a normal person be so eager to fill up their schedule?

It would also lead to a problem with his persona. If others ask you to substitute and you help them, you’re a good person. What are you doing actively rushing to teach classes?

“It still needs to start from the students’ dissatisfaction and the Medical Ninja’s own teaching level,” Muzuki thought to himself.

The most important thing at the Ninja Academy is strength. If students and school leaders know that the appointment of the Medical Ninja will affect the growth of strength, then it will be easy to handle.

Next, Muzuki continued to practice calligraphy until it was almost time for class.

When Muzuki walked into the classroom of Class 2, Grade 4, the students were already somewhat accustomed to it.

Muzuki taught them steadily once a week, and they had already regarded Muzuki as their homeroom teacher.

“Teacher, I…”

Obito was also habitually late. Muzuki said nothing and let Obito sit down and listen to the lesson.

“That hateful Ikegaya Teacher!” Obito muttered softly, feeling that Ikegaya Yu’s timing for having Muzuki substitute was always bad.

“Did you meet an elderly person who needed help?” Rin Nohara asked.

“I didn’t meet anyone today. I forgot the time while picking out pens at the bookstore,” Obito replied honestly.

“Why didn’t you pick them out after school in the afternoon? Lunchtime is so short. You didn’t eat, did you?” Rin Nohara asked, a little confused.

“It’s fine to skip one meal. I’ll just eat more tonight. The main thing is that I’ve been to a lot of stores recently, and I feel like the one this noon was the best,” Obito replied.

“Honestly, what could be more important than eating? I still have some snacks. I’ll give them to you after class,” Rin Nohara said helplessly.

Obito nodded and didn’t chat with Rin Nohara anymore. He had to listen to Muzuki’s class.

Forty minutes passed quickly. When the dismissal bell rang, Muzuki announced the end of class, and Rin Nohara handed the snacks to Obito.

“Obito, how many…” A classmate who was familiar with Obito came over to tease him.

“How did you know I won first place in the Youth Ninjutsu Competition this weekend?” Obito preemptively said.

As soon as Obito said that, the person’s teasing words couldn’t come out. He felt like he had a lemon in his mouth. Eight thousand ryo in prize money!

Uchiha Tekka, who was not far away, also fell silent.

He still remembered the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique Obito used in the competition. He originally thought that with the lesson from the last competition, he might be able to defeat Obito if he paid attention to the Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique next time.

As a result, a Youth Ninjutsu Competition made him lose his confidence.

Seeing the expressions of the people around him, Obito’s smile became very bright.

Next, Obito would go out for a stroll during every break, telling everyone he met, “How did you know I got first place?” maximizing the benefit of being first.

【Lecture Completed】

【Rating: A】

【Reward: Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique】

Seeing the lecture reward, Muzuki nodded to himself. This was a Ninjutsu that, although not high-level, was very practical.

The mist created by this Ninjutsu was not ordinary fog. It could blur the vision of the Sharingan, and the Hidden Mist Technique used by Mei Terumī could even hinder Madara’s Rinnegan to a certain extent.

It was still very good in the early stages before cheating Ninja appeared.

After school, Muzuki went directly to the South Border Forest.

When Muzuki arrived, Shisui was still cultivating there.

Shisui followed Muzuki’s advice and now always attended school with a Shadow Clone, while his main body cultivated with Muzuki’s Shadow Clone.

Muzuki didn’t wait long. Soon, Might Guy arrived.

However, what surprised Muzuki was that Might Guy arrived fifteen minutes later and Obito still hadn’t come.

Because he often walked a certain distance with Rin, although they were in the same class, Obito rarely set off with Might Guy to this side.

However, being more than fifteen minutes late was also rare.

Muzuki felt that he needed to give a lecture so that he wouldn’t develop the habit of being late for training as well.

“Sorry, Muzuki Teacher, I’m late.” Obito ran to Muzuki with a long box.
