"Pfft, not stronger at all. Lying sow..."
Shirai shook his head feeling somewhat angry.
"I'm so disappointed in you guys. You guys are so young and knows how to lie already.
Teachers gotta teach you all how to be decent humans at this point since your parents are clearly don't care about you at all."
Students felt jealous yet fear Shirai as well.
Hearing these words, their motions turned back into anger again.
However seeing Naruto, Kiba and Sakura still lying on the ground, They didn't dare to challenge Shirai anymore, instead all eyes are on one person.
Uchiha Sasuke.
Currently recognized as the strongest in this class.
The genius of the Uchiha clan.
A lone wolf.
Not only strong, but also handsome.
Seeing that everyone's looking at him, Sasuke slowly walk out of the crowd.
His hands still inside his pants.
Sasuke looked at Shirai with a cold gaze.
"I'll compete with you, Aoki Shirai.
Remember my name, Uchiha Sasuke, since you will lose in the hands of this name."
Shirai shook his head.
"You are still 10000 years too early."
Sasuke frowned..
"Aoki Shirai, come on."
Shirai frowned.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, because once I come, you won't have a chance to move."
"That's funny coming from an orphan."
Shirai shrugged disregarding the intense glares from his classmates.
'You don't care about Naruto but get angry when I call this emo an orphan?'
Shirai's figure suddenly flashed.
'So fast!'
Sasuke's pupils shrank, subconsciously hesitating.
His eyes wandered around to keep Shirai in check but they couldn't keep it up.
This makes it very likely for him to not able to dodge Shirai's attack.
"Damn it!"
"Unexpectedly, the speed that Shirai showed before was not his limit."
" Sasuke kun can definitely block it!"
Everyone's talking out loud but Sasuke's too busy trying to not miss Shirai.
'I must not lose'
As he was thinking, Shirai appeared in his right.
Sasuke looked at Shiraishi and tried to respond but his hands weren't fast enough.
But it was too late.
Shira's hand knife has already hit his neck.
"Bang!"
Sasuke's body felt soft and he fell involuntarily.
Shirai curled his lips slightly.
"Really..."
A voice rang in Shirai's head.
[No EQ event triggered, talent +11]
Unlike others, Sasuke managed to stay conscious but it felt worse. A deep shame came out of Sasuke's heart.
He saw the attack coming yet couldn't defend himself.
Everyone saw him defeated by a single blow.
He was defeated the same way Shirai defeated Naruto, Kiba and Sakura.
'I need to get stronger...'
Shirai looked unsatisfied with his victory. He dragged Sasuke who had fallen on the ground to the side of Sakura.
"Yea, it looks better like this. Trashes need to stay together."
Naruto was not happy with this arrangement. Sakura originally fell next to Naruto and it made him very happy.
No matter what time it is, as long as Sakura chan is beside him, he would be satisfied...but now there is a third wheel..
Although Naruto wasn't happy, Sakura is.
She just woke up, turned her head, and saw Sasuke.
"So handsome."
...
Iruka was dumbfounded.
Before meeting Shirai, he had heard some rumors.
Shirai's father is Chūnin and he homeschooled his kid but some time ago, Shirai's father went out on a mission and died which cause Shirai to come to the ninja school.
Lord Third told him that Shirai was talented and strong but his personality was a bit weird. He was a problematic boy and needed someone to be guide him the will of fire.
But Iruka did not expect that the kid would be so strong.
Even Uchiha Sasuke was defeated with one move.
No ninjutsu were used.
How can a kid be this strong?
Is this even possible?
Iruka looked at Shirai and he felt complicated.
"He has talent but... his personality is really a big problem."
Iruka recalled Shirai's performance, and noticed that the kid keep insulting his classmates since the time he came inside the class,
Why can't you just get along with your classmates?
"Ahem!"
Iruka gave a dry cough and said, "This is the end of the test. I believe everyone has a deeper understanding of Shirai's strength so let's go back to the classroom."
"This morning's class is about Transformation Technique."
"No need to be outside."
Everyone followed Iruka inside the class except afew.
Naruto and his group still couldn't find strength to get up from the ground.
Unlike others, Naruto's eyes flickered, showing fighting spirit.
"That guy is amazing....I have decided. From today, Shirai is my new goal."
Naruto glanced at Sasuke next to him and smirked.
"Teme, I overestimated your strength."
Sasuke snorted, his face gloomy.
He forced himself to get up and walk quickly to the classroom with sakura following behind him.
Kiba picked up Akamaru and placed it on his shoulder.
"That bastard actually wanted to eat my dog... I will definitely make him pay for saying that next time, hmph!"
...
Four people enter the classroom.
The eyes of the students dawn upon them.
Naruto and Inuzuka felt nothing upon seeing this.
The two have experienced this many times before.
Sakura however is angry intead...
'Who do you think you are to look at me like that?!'
Only Sasuke is very uncomfortable.
He felt like their gazes are burning his body like flames.
....
