Chapter 97 An Unexpected Challenge
0.01 seconds later, the spinning body was struck again.
"Thump!" A wave of numbness washed over my abdomen.
Mid-air, Mizuki emerged. He couldn't tell if it was blood or stomach acid, because with the impact, the world plunged into darkness.
Before losing consciousness, his last thought was: Why?
Why me?
"Whoosh!"
Inside the central tower, surrounded by onlookers.
People watched as Might Guy's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, followed by a high kick that landed on Mizuki's chin.
The latter immediately began to roll upwards.
That wasn't all. Mighty seized the opportunity and followed up with a kick to Mizuki's abdomen, causing the latter to go from spinning to rising in a straight line and quickly approaching the ceiling.
White bandages began to flutter in the air.
Might Guy leaped into the air, his body spinning around Mizuki, the bandages swirling around Mizuki's body and beginning to contract inwards.
Everyone: "???"
Hiruzen Sarutobi on the stage: "?!?!?!?!"
Their thinking hasn't changed.
What happened?
So fast!
While everyone else was puzzled, Matt Kai was also puzzled.
What happened?
What is the opponent waiting for? Why isn't they retaliating? Do they feel their attack isn't fierce enough?
But looking at the whites of Mizuki's eyes and the faint traces of blood at the corner of his mouth, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Just as he was hesitating about whether to use "Lotus Flower" to gain the other party's approval, a familiar shout suddenly came from afar.
"stop!"
The one who shouted was Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Upon hearing his voice, the proctoring Jonin in the arena also instantly teleported without hesitation.
He quickly arrived at Might Guy's side and placed a hand on Might Guy's shoulder.
"Kai! Stop!"
When the teacher gave the order, Matt Kai didn't hesitate and quickly removed the bandage.
The Jonin reached out and caught the unconscious Mizuki, gently placing him on the ground before quickly checking his injuries.
"His jaw may be fractured."
"Two ribs are broken. There are some internal injuries."
"Everything else is fine." He reported to Hiruzen Sarutobi while checking. After finishing the check, he looked at Might Guy.
"Kai".
"Why did you hit so hard?"
Matt Kai scratched his head innocently: "I—I thought he was really good?"
Seeing Matt Kai's puzzled expression, the proctor asked, "Why do you think that?"
Matt Kai:
He suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Should I tell Nebula what she told me?
On the other side, Ibiki Morino also became nervous. He hesitated whether to speak or not, after all, he was one of only two people present who knew the truth.
Before they could make up their minds, Shenyue Xingyun stepped forward.
"I told Kai."
"Shuimu approached me before the match and told me that he was very strong and that I must go all out when I faced him."
"I thought he was really amazing."
The Jonin frowned.
On the stands, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed lost in thought.
The reason, of course, was made up on the spot by Shenyue Xingyun. Whether it's reasonable or not is unimportant; what matters is whether it exists at all.
The more you hold back, the angrier you get; the more you back down, the more you feel cheated. It's really unbearable to have your payment delayed overnight.
However, he couldn't openly attack Mizuki, as it wouldn't align with the Will of Fire, so he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, being cunning and shrewd, might guess something, but it doesn't matter; as long as there's a reason, that's enough. Anyway, Mizuki won't delve into it. If she did, the other party's methods would be even more untenable.
"Alright," Hiruzen Sarutobi said softly, "Have someone take Mizuki to the infirmary first."
"The challenge continues."
With the Hokage speaking, the Jonin naturally had no objections. After announcing Might Guy as a Chunin and having Mizuki carried away, they moved on to the next challenge.
The challenges on the field continue.
Off the field, Ibiki Morino secretly glanced at Seiun Kamitsuki's back, deciding in his heart that he must never provoke him again.
Shenyue Xingyun watched the challenges in the arena with a pleasant mood. He vaguely felt that someone was watching him, but he was already used to it, so he continued to watch the game without caring.
Not far behind him, Muto Saika bit her lip, her eyes filled with resentment.
"asshole."
"You big bastard."
You haven't turned around for so long, don't you even want to look at me?
Watching Shingetsu Seiun's retreating figure, Mutou Saika's emotions surged.
They were a team that set traps, but none of them passed the Chunin Exams. While her teammates watched the match, her eyes and heart were entirely focused on Shingetsu Seiun.
What made her uncomfortable was that the other person never responded to her gaze throughout the entire encounter.
Just because you broke up doesn't mean you stopped loving each other.
"You scumbag!"
The God Moon Nebula has turned black-hearted!
Have you forgotten our past?
Don't you remember any of the happy times we had together?
Do you manage to sleep every night?
Just as her thoughts were churning, her friend noticed her distraction and asked with concern, "Caixiang."
"What's wrong? You don't seem quite right?"
"Oh, oh." Muto Saika snapped out of her daze and quickly said, "No, I'm fine."
His teammate added, "It's good that you're alright."
"Caixiang, I feel like they're all amazing. Maybe I shouldn't have participated in the lottery."
Upon hearing this, Mutou Saika comforted her, "It's alright, you've already drawn the ticket, go up and give it a try. What if you pass?"
"Caixiang, which one do you think I should choose as my opponent?"
"How is Genma Shiranui?"
"He doesn't seem particularly capable to me."
Muto Saika thought for a moment, then shook her head.
The teammate asked in a troubled tone, "No way? Then who should I ask?"
"I can't possibly challenge a girl, can I? That would be too embarrassing."
Muto Saika said, "I'll tell you who I'm challenging."
"God Moon Nebula".
"God Moon Nebula?" His teammate was taken aback. "Isn't that your boyfriend?"
Muto Aya's gaze turned slightly cold: "Not my boyfriend, he's my ex-boyfriend."
Thinking of the other party's cold attitude, Mutou Saika said angrily, "We have nothing to do with each other anymore."
Since you're so cold to me, I don't need to consider our past relationship anymore. Thinking this, Mutou Saika said to her teammate beside her, "Pick him without worry."
"Shenyue Xingyun was always at the bottom of the class before. She has improved her strength recently, but it is impossible for her to suddenly become a genius."
"Among the group, he's close to being the weakest, if not the weakest. So listen to me, challenge him; the success rate is extremely high!"
His teammate looked at him suspiciously: "Are you sure?"
Muto Saika: "Of course, we're teammates, I wouldn't betray you."
At this point, the battle on the field had ended, and the challenger had failed. The proctoring Jonin said, "Togami Daiki, please choose the Chunin you wish to challenge."
Beside Muto Saika, Higashini Daiki, upon hearing his name called, hurried to the center of the arena. Facing the proctor's questioning, he firmly replied, "I challenge Shingetsu Seiun!"
