“The number one candidate, Lin Yuhara, and the number three candidate, Might Guy, are ready for the exam,” the proctor announced.
Mokutsuki immediately realised that Lin Yuhara’s practical exam was already over.
Lin Yuhara’s chances against Daito were relatively favourable, but facing Might Guy would surely result in a crushing defeat.
Lin Yuhara now relied entirely on her physical skills, and Might Guy excelled in physical techniques, so it was almost a given she wouldn’t stand a chance.
“I feel like Lin Yuhara easily won against Uchiha Itachi. Could she possibly win against Might Guy?” one student speculated.
“Now that you mention it, it might be possible. Might Guy also made a sudden rise in power before. Maybe Lin Yuhara will do the same this time,” another student responded.
Perhaps due to Lin Yuhara’s flawless performance in her previous battle, the students in Class Four had high expectations for her.
“Lin, do your best!” Daito said without saying much. He was aware of the power gap between them.
“Okay.” Lin Yuhara nodded and entered the arena.
“Guy, you must use all your strength. I want to see the gap between us,” Lin Yuhara said seriously.
“Burning youth means giving it your all in every battle!” Might Guy give Lin Yuhara a thumbs up before forming hand seals?
“Begin the battle!”
As Lin Yuhara tried to replicate her previous fight, she suddenly realised that Might Guy was already charging at her. Might Guy’s speed was faster than hers!
“Leaf Whirlwind!”
Might Guy deliver a spinning kick at Lin Yuhara with incredible speed?
Whoosh!
At the critical moment, Lin Yuhara used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge Might Guy’s kick.
But before Lin Yuhara could plan her next attack, Might Guy appeared before her and threw a powerful punch.
Lin Yuhara had no choice but to compress her chakra in her hand and quickly punch back.
Bang!!
The clash of their immense powers sent Lin Yuhara’s short brown hair flying.
In the next moment, Lin Yuhara could not maintain her stance and was sent reeling back several meters.
“The power is so great, I can’t compete,” Lin Yuhara assessed with her numbing arms.
She was astonished by how Might Guy’s physical strength was so overwhelming.
Her most substantial power was no match for Might Guy’s enhanced physical skills, which firmly sealed her defeat.
Might Guy begin his all-out assault as promised, with a series of rapid attacks leaving Lin Yuhara completely defenceless?
“This… Might Guy is actually suppressing Lin Yuhara like this,” the students watching from the sidelines felt dismayed.
They had hoped Lin Yuhara could break the dominance of Daito and Might Guy in the top two spots, but she was outmatched.
This led them to ponder whether Uchiha Itachi was weaker than they imagined or if Might Guy was even more potent than anticipated.
“Might Guy wins!” the proctor declared after Lin Yuhara lost her ability to fight.
“Lin, are you okay?” Daito quickly supported Lin Yuhara off the field, showing concern.
“I’m fine, but Guy is really strong. It looks like I still have a long way to go to catch up with you,” Lin Yuhara replied.
“Keep at it, and you’ll catch up eventually,” Daito encouraged.
He believed that with Mokutsuki’s guidance, Lin Yuhara would eventually catch up to them, just as he and Might Guy were once not very strong.
“It’s a pity. If it were in another class, this level of strength would definitely be enough to make it into the top ranks,” Ueda Aya commented, giving Lin Yuhara a high score and expressing regret.
In her view, with Might Guy and Uchiha Daito as the two dominant figures, others had no chance.
“I wonder what luck Ikegami had, with so many outstanding students emerging from his class,” Ueda Aya internally criticised.
She didn’t believe Ikegami Yu’s strength was the reason behind Might Guy, Uchiha Daito, and Lin Yuhara’s improvement. If Ikegami Yu had such skill, he would have achieved excellence long ago and not ended up like this.
She felt it was simply luck that Ikegami Yu took over a class with great potential.
By the third day of the grade’s practical exam, Mokutsuki chose the fourth-year arena.
The first-year exams were unremarkable; Shisui would easily dominate, and if not for encountering Shisui, Akado could have secured second place.
In the fourth year, Daito had a chance of being upset, given that it was Daito.
On the third day, Daito and Might Guy faced each other in the top four to two rounds. Having learned from past mistakes, Daito fought steadily and carefully, eventually defeating Might Guy again.
“This time, Daito will definitely be first in the class,” the students watching believed this match was an early final.
The other top four battle’s victor was Hyuga Hiashi, who had easily defeated Might Guy in the previous exam.
As the students predicted, Daito effortlessly defeated Hyuga Hiashi. However, the battle’s intensity was not as high as in the top four rounds.
Daito only needed a Fireball Jutsu to force a reposition and then overwhelm Hiashi with the Flame Breathing Technique. Hyuga Hiashi couldn’t withstand it.
“The winner of this term’s grade practical exam is Uchiha Daito!” the proctor announced, concluding the exam.
With the exam over, it meant a vacation for the students, but fourth-year students would have only a short break before starting special training or internships.
Mokutsuki gave Daito, Might Guy, and Lin Yuhara a short break for a few days.
“Daito and Guy, remember to gather at the training ground I mentioned next Monday. Everyone can rest well during this time,” Mokutsuki announced the break.
“Starting Monday, we’ll begin missions,” Daito said with some anticipation.
“Today is only Wednesday. There’s plenty of time for rest,” Lin Yuhara, who had been training daily since becoming Mokutsuki’s student, thought the break was extended.
“Burning youth means training every day!” Might Guy plan to continue his training in the Southern Forest as usual?
“Mokutsuki-sensei, will you still be in the forest these days?” Shisui asked.
“Yes, if anyone feels restless, you can come find me,” Mokutsuki replied with a gentle smile.
“I feel there are still some aspects of the Breathing Technique I don’t understand, so I might need your help, Mokutsuki-sensei,” Shisui said.
The students’ break also meant a break for the teacher. Shisui felt he was imposing on Mokutsuki’s vacation, hence using “trouble.”
“It’s natural for a teacher to help students with their problems. There’s no trouble at all. If you have questions, make sure to ask me,” Mokutsuki said with a warm smile.
“For a teacher, seeing students improve is the greatest joy.”
Shisui and Might Guy were determined to continue their training, making Daito slightly embarrassed. He didn’t want to be the laziest among Mokutsuki’s students.
“Daito, are you going to share your victory with Kakashi tonight?”
“For the upcoming ninja life, it’s indeed necessary to train more,” Daito said seriously.
