Chapter 68 Who can be the first? (Please read)

“Might Guy, do you remember me? Your strength is indeed good, but since you’ve met me here, this is as far as you go this time,” Hyuga Homura said with a regrettable expression, forming the Confrontation Seal.

Even though Might Guy had the strength of second place, encountering the first-place Hyuga Homura meant he could only fall in the second round.

“Uh, who are you?” Might Guy scratched his head, trying hard to recall his opponent, but found he couldn’t remember at all.

“Could you be Hyuga Daimon?” Might Guy vaguely recalled the proctor’s recent announcement.

His fists hardened.

Hyuga Homura felt as if Might Guy was humiliating him.

“I’m Hyuga Homura, who defeated you in the last exam! It’s Homura, not Daimon!” Hyuga Homura couldn’t help but correct him. He decided that during the fight, he would definitely show Might Guy a thing or two.

“I understand,” Might Guy said, forming the Confrontation Seal and nodding.

“Begin the exam!”

As soon as the proctor’s words fell, Hyuga Homura immediately activated his Byakugan, and the veins around his eyes bulged, making Hyuga Homura’s face look a bit ferocious.

Under the enhancement of the Byakugan, everything about Might Guy was seen through by Hyuga Homura. He could easily see Might Guy’s Chakra pathways, tenketsu, and the flowing Chakra.

Without hesitation, Hyuga Homura chose to gather Chakra in his palm and attack proactively.

With Gentle Fist and Byakugan, two major close-combat weapons, Hyuga Homura didn’t believe anyone in the Ninja Academy could be stronger than him in close combat.

The Byakugan allowed him to see through the enemy’s movements, and Gentle Fist, combined with the Byakugan, could directly inject Chakra into the enemy’s tenketsu to block Chakra flow.

But something Hyuga Homura didn’t expect happened: his fist, swung towards Might Guy, was quickly caught by Might Guy.

Hyuga Homura’s other hand continued to attack Might Guy’s Chakra pathways and tenketsu, but it was also caught.

Hyuga Homura very quickly began to attack with his legs, but kicking techniques were Might Guy’s specialty. Might Guy immediately released Hyuga Homura’s hands and unleashed an extremely fast Leaf Great Whirlwind, kicking Hyuga Homura back three meters.

“How is this possible? I clearly saw it, but my body…” Hyuga Homura’s hands trembled as he looked at Might Guy in disbelief.

Just now, he had seen through Might Guy’s movements, but found that his body couldn’t react in time.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

“Hyuga Homura is actually at a disadvantage in a Taijutsu clash!” The students watching were stunned.

Ever since Kakashi graduated, their grade had largely been under Hyuga Homura’s dominance. Everyone who tried to compete with Hyuga Homura in Taijutsu ended up with a painful lesson.

“Is this Might Guy really that fierce? Last time he reached second place in the grade, and this time he’s aiming for first place.”

Might Guy’s fierce performance immediately garnered surprise from many people.

“Go, Might Guy!” Ikegaya Yu, seeing that Might Guy had actually suppressed Hyuga Homura, who was first in the last exam, couldn’t help but cheer for Might Guy.

He felt as if a substantial bonus was waving at him.

“Ahem, Ikegaya Sensei, you are the proctor for this exam, please be mindful,” the proctor next to him quietly reminded Ikegaya Yu, who was excitedly cheering.

Ikegaya Yu then realized, quickly closed his mouth, but the smile on his face couldn’t be stopped.

“Although Might Guy has the upper hand, the final result is still uncertain. As long as he gets hit by Gentle Fist once, his offensive rhythm will be completely gone,” a teacher commented.

Some teachers nodded in agreement.

If Hyuga Homura made a mistake, he would at most feel pain for a while, but if Might Guy got hit by Gentle Fist, things would be serious. Having Chakra injected into his body was no joke.

In other words, Hyuga Homura had many chances to make mistakes, while Might Guy risked defeat with just one mistake.

Ikegaya Yu glanced and saw that the speaker was Hyuga Homura’s homeroom teacher.

He didn’t refute, as Hyuga Homura had taken first place so many times, Ikegaya Yu wasn’t very confident.

What happened next exceeded many people’s expectations.

Hyuga Homura tried very hard to launch several attacks on Might Guy, but he didn’t hit Might Guy even once. Instead, Hyuga Homura was caught by Might Guy and kicked again during his attacks.

“Wow, if you covered his eyes, you’d think Might Guy was the one with the Byakugan!” The students were impressed by Might Guy.

Before, it was always Hyuga Homura seeing through his opponent’s movements and easily dodging; this time, the roles were completely reversed.

“You only see Guy’s current body flicker, but you don’t know what he’s been through,” Obito said, hearing the students’ discussions nearby, and couldn’t help but recall his and Might Guy’s miserable experiences.

Getting hit once meant doing two problems, and the battle started with dozens of problems. One had to hit the opponent without being hit to reduce the number of problems.

It was precisely through this terrifying training that Might Guy’s current body flicker was forged.

Obito’s installment problems from before still had a few left to finish.

“Damn it, what’s going on?” Hyuga Homura, who had been at a disadvantage, became a bit anxious.

He didn’t understand why things had turned out this way. Might Guy wasn’t this strong in their last battle, so how could his strength have improved so much in two months?

Hyuga Homura, anxious to turn the tide, revealed more openings.

Might Guy gathered Chakra in his leg and exploded, seizing the opening to swiftly deliver the kick he was currently most skilled at.

“Leaf Great Whirlwind!”

Bang!

The high-speed spinning leg, reinforced by Chakra, brutally kicked Hyuga Homura, directly knocking him to the ground, unconscious and unable to fight.

“Contestant number four, Might Guy, wins!” The proctor announced Might Guy’s victory.

All the proctors grading gave Might Guy a perfect score of ten for his Taijutsu.

Hyuga Homura’s Taijutsu score was given as 9.9, but the teachers knew the difference between the two was more than just that 0.1 point.

“It’s indeed hard for Might Guy to fight Hyuga Homura. It’s a good thing he wasn’t hit by Gentle Fist even once, otherwise it would have been terrible,” Ikegaya Yu said with a smile. He could already feel the scent of the bonus.

Hyuga Homura’s homeroom teacher opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

“It seems this time’s first place will be Might Guy. Even Hyuga Homura was defeated by him.” The students watching felt that the first place for this grade exam had already been determined in advance.

“Not necessarily. Uchiha Obito’s Fire Release is very strong. No matter how strong Might Guy’s Taijutsu is, can he really withstand Fire Release at this stage?” Uchiha Tekka couldn’t help but retort.

He had lost to Obito again in this class’s practical combat, so he hoped Obito could reach first place.

Soon, Obito also proved with his combat power that Uchiha Tekka’s words were not empty.

Shiranui Genma, the first place in Class Six, was easily defeated by Obito.

Powerful Fire Release and impressive Taijutsu directly made Obito replace the already defeated Hyuga Homura as a strong contender for first place.

If it weren’t for the need to proctor and grade, Ikegaya Yu would have already wanted to drag Muzuki to an izakaya for drinks.

With these two students in hand, why would he worry about not having a bonus, or not having enough bonus?
