“Might Guy, do you remember me? Your strength is indeed impressive, but having encountered me here, you will only stop at this round.” Hyuga Homura said with a look of pity, forming the confrontation seal.
Might Guy, despite being second strongest, could only fall in the second round when facing him.
“Uh, you are?” Might Guy scratched his head, trying hard to recall his opponent but found he couldn’t remember.
“Are you Hyuga Daimon?” Might Guy vaguely remember the proctor’s announcement?
Hard. His fists were hard.
Hyuga Homura felt Might Guy was humiliating him.
“I’m the one who defeated you in the last exam, Hyuga Homura, not Daimon!” Hyuga Homura couldn’t help but correct him, so he decided to show Might Guy a lesson during the fight.
“I understand.” Might Guy formed the confrontation seal and nodded.
“Begin the exam!”
As soon as the proctor’s voice fell, Hyuga Homura activated his Byakugan. The veins around his eyes bulged, making his face look somewhat ferocious.
With the enhancement of the Byakugan, Hyuga Homura could see everything about Might Guy, quickly observing his chakra flow and tenketsu.
Without hesitation, Hyuga Homura chose to infuse chakra into his palms and took the initiative to attack.
With the twin close-combat advantages of Gentle Fist and Byakugan, Hyuga Homura didn’t believe anyone in the Ninja Academy could surpass him in close quarters.
Byakugan allowed him to see through enemy movements, and Gentle Fist, combined with Byakugan, could directly inject chakra into the enemy’s tenketsu, blocking their chakra flow.
But something unexpected happened. The punch he aimed at Might Guy was swiftly caught by him.
Hyuga Homura’s other hand continued to strike at Might Guy’s tenketsu, only to be caught as well.
Hyuga Homura quickly started using his legs to attack, but kicking was Might Guy’s specialty. Might Guy released Homura’s hands and executed a rapid Leaf Hurricane, 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 his body couldn’t react in time.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
“Hyuga Homura is at a disadvantage in a taijutsu battle!” The observing students were shocked.
Since Kakashi’s graduation, Hyuga Homura had been dominating their grade. Anyone who tried to compete with him in taijutsu ended up suffering.
“Is Might Guy really that strong? He was second in the grade last time; this time, he might aim for first.”
Might Guy’s fierce performance garnered a lot of amazement.
“Go, Might Guy!” Isao Ikeya cheered for Might Guy as he saw him suppressing Hyuga Homura, who was first in the grade during the last exam.
The hefty bonus was waving at him.
“Ahem, Isao-sensei, you’re the proctor this time, please be mindful.” The proctor next to him quietly reminded him as he saw Isao Ikeya excitedly cheering.
Isao Ikeya quickly shut his mouth but couldn’t stop smiling.
“Although Might Guy has the upper hand, the final result is still uncertain. If he gets hit by Gentle Fist once, his attack rhythm will be completely disrupted.” A teacher commented.
Some teachers nodded.
Hyuga Homura’s mistakes would only hurt for a while, but if Might Guy got hit by Gentle Fist, it would be severe. Chakra being injected into the body was no joke.
In other words, Hyuga Homura had many chances to make mistakes, but Might Guy had only one chance before risking defeat.
Isao Ikeya glanced and saw it was Hyuga Homura’s homeroom teacher who spoke.
He didn’t argue, knowing Hyuga Homura had taken first place many times before, making him less confident.
What happened next exceeded many expectations.
Hyuga Homura tried hard to launch several attacks at Might Guy but didn’t land a single hit. Instead, Might Guy seized opportunities and kicked him again during his attacks.
“Goodness, cover his eyes, and people might think Might Guy has the Byakugan.” The students were impressed by Might Guy.
In the past, it was always Hyuga Homura who saw through opponents’ moves and dodged easily, but now their roles were reversed.
“You all see Guy’s current moves but don’t know what he’s been through.” Obito couldn’t help but remember the harsh training he and Might Guy had gone through as he heard the students’ discussions.
Getting hit once meant doing two extra questions. Starting a fight came with dozens of questions that had to be solved by hitting the opponent without getting hit.
It was this terrifying training that had forged Might Guy’s current movements.
Obito still hadn’t finished all his pending questions from before.
“Damn, what’s happening?” Hyuga Homura, who was constantly on the defensive, was getting anxious.
He didn’t understand why it turned out like this. Might Guy wasn’t this firm in their last fight; how had he improved so much in two months?
In his desperation to turn the tables, Hyuga Homura exposed more weaknesses.
Might Guy concentrated his chakra in his legs and, finding an opening, unleashed his most powerful kick.
“Leaf Great Whirlwind!”
Bang!
With chakra-enhanced high-speed rotation, his leg fiercely struck Hyuga Homura, knocking him down and rendering him unable to continue fighting.
“Candidate number four, Might Guy, wins!” The proctor announced Might Guy’s victory.
All the proctoring teachers gave Might Guy a perfect score of ten in taijutsu.
Hyuga Homura’s taijutsu score was given as 9.9, but the teachers knew the difference was more than just 0.1.
“Might Guy had a tough fight with Hyuga Homura, but luckily he didn’t get hit by Gentle Fist, or it would’ve been bad.” Isao Ikeya said with a smile, already sensing the bonus.
Hyuga Homura’s homeroom teacher opened his mouth but said nothing.
“This time, the first place seems to be Might Guy. He even defeated Hyuga Homura.” The observing students felt that first place in the grade exam had already emerged.
“Not necessarily. Uchiha Obito’s Fire Style jutsu is strong. No matter how good Might Guy’s taijutsu is, can he withstand Fire Style jutsu at this stage?” Uchiha Tetsuhuo couldn’t help but argue.
He had lost to Obito in the class practical exam and hoped Obito would take first place.
Soon, Obito also proved Uchiha Tetsuhuo’s words were not in vain.
The first-place student of Class 6, Shiranui Genma, was easily defeated by Obito.
Obito’s powerful Fire Style and solid taijutsu made him the strongest contender for first place after Hyuga Homura’s defeat.
If not for the need to score, Isao Ikeya would’ve already dragged Mokutsuki to the izakaya to celebrate.
With these two students, there was no worry about bonuses, and they might be even more substantial.
