Chapter 16 Your Youth, I Acknowledge!
Matt Kai couldn't help but clench his fists.
The voice of the Divine Moon Nebula continued.
"But I'm so bad."
"I have absolutely no talent for ninjutsu; even the Three Body Techniques are a problem to me."
"I wanted to study martial arts, but the repeated pain and setbacks made me doubt myself."
"I often think about this when the night is quiet."
"Perhaps, this is how it will be."
"I'm just someone with absolutely no talent."
"If I don't graduate, I won't become a qualified ninja. In the future, I'll just be an ordinary person, marry a beautiful young lady from a wealthy family, and live a boring life of luxury."
Matt Kai's train of thought was a little out of sync.
Before a question mark could even form in my mind, my attention was diverted by what Shingetsu Nebula said next.
"Until I met you."
"Kai!"
"I heard your story from other classmates and teachers."
"How did you withstand the pressure, step by step, enter the school, and grow into who you are today?"
"An outstanding student with exceptional physical skills!"
"Seeing you, I feel as if I can see the light of youth illuminating the darkness ahead of me."
"I have gained confidence!"
"I'll definitely become an excellent ninja!"
"So, I resolutely chose to repeat the year."
"Two years."
"For the past two years, I haven't stopped working hard every single day. Sometimes, I'm even busy until 11 or 12 at night."
"I have only one goal, and that is... to improve!"
Matt Kai was filled with awe.
At this moment, Shenyue Xingyun, whose strength had been largely restored, slowly got up.
"Kai".
Tomorrow is my third graduation exam!
"So, this is the time I'm challenging you!"
"Two years. It took me two years to finally feel the progress I've made. So, although I'm still far behind you, and although it might be a bit presumptuous of me, I still want to challenge you."
"Please accept my challenge, please."
He formed the seal of opposition.
Matt Kai's eyes shone brightly.
As he felt the hairs on the back of his head stand up, he stood up and stood opposite the Divine Moon Nebula, forming the Seal of Opposition.
"Don't say things like 'overestimating your abilities'."
"It is my honor to accept your challenge."
"Make your move, Shingetsu Nebula. Out of respect, I will use my full strength."
Shenyue Xingyun's heart tightened.
Although his physical condition had improved and his chakra was quite abundant for his age, he didn't know if he could keep up with a serious Might Guy.
But at this point, he had to keep up the act.
"I'm going in, Kai!"
With a loud "bang," dirt splashed up underfoot, and with a powerful burst of energy, Shenyue Xingyun's figure suddenly shot out.
The next second, they were locked in combat with Might Guy, who was on high alert!
"Bang bang bang!!!"
After three sounds, Shenyue Xingyun's figure was thrown out of the battle and landed on the ground with a thud.
Fortunately, he was lying on soil and grass, which prevented him from suffering further injury. Even so, Shenyue Xingyun was somewhat pale.
Might Guy is very strong.
He only had time to block two heavy attacks with his fists and feet before a front kick sent him flying.
On the other side, Might Guy seemed a little flustered.
Wasn't that a bit too aggressive?
Are you alright?
"I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
"It's alright!" Shenyue Xingyun reached out her hand to interrupt the other person.
He braced himself with one hand on the ground, slowly got up, rubbed his numb chest, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he once again assumed a fighting stance.
Come again!
A flicker of emotion crossed Matt Kai's eyes.
"Alright, then I'll make my move!"
"Bang bang bang!!!"
Their fists and feet clashed, producing a series of muffled thuds.
Shenyue Xingyun went all out, disregarding the consumption of physical strength, and maximized the use of her physical functions. Occasionally, when she encountered an attack that was difficult to withstand, she would activate the Lv1 "Big Grip" skill, which would be able to intercept it with a high probability.
However, Might Guy's strength far surpasses his.
With exceptional physical attributes, outstanding reflexes, and almost instinctive movements and responses, Might Guy is incredibly well-rounded in terms of physical skills alone.
Before long, Shenyue Xingyun had fallen to the ground several times.
However, as long as he could hold on, he would always grit his teeth, get up, and continue the battle.
This was the method he chose to ensure his progress in befriending Matt Kay.
Physical, visceral exchanges are the most effective way to accelerate the development of a relationship between boys.
Finally, when he tried to get up from the ground, but his legs gave way and he stumbled and fell to the ground, Matt Kai lowered his fists and feet that he had prepared.
"Stop, Nebula."
"I...I can still do it." Shenyue Xingyun exerted her strength again, enduring the stinging pain in her muscles, and slowly stood up from the ground.
He adopted a fighting stance once again.
Matt Kee shook his head.
"Nebula, that's enough."
"I acknowledge your youth."
Shingetsu Nebula looked at Might Guy, then slowly lowered her hand.
"I'm sorry I couldn't let you unleash your full potential."
Matt Kai said, "Don't say that."
"I'm very happy to have an opponent like you."
Shingetsu Nebula: "Really?"
Matt Kai said, "Of course."
"Nebula, I'm waiting for you to challenge me again, but we can't continue today."
"Tomorrow is your graduation exam, so you need to stay focused."
Shenyue Xingyun: "I understand, thank you."
"I will definitely challenge you again."
Matt Kay is gone.
He originally wanted to help the injured Shenyue Xingyun home, but she refused.
Because there are still people waiting for him.
"Let me think, whose date is scheduled for today... Oh right, Aya Honjo."
"And then comes Kanako."
Recalling her date, Shen Yuexingyun tidied herself up a bit, then limped along the path behind the mountain. Before long, she arrived at a quiet and secluded place.
Beside a small lake, willows swayed gently, and a clear spring murmured. A woman, whose tall figure couldn't be concealed even by ninja attire, stood on the pebbly ground by the lake, lost in thought.
Hearing footsteps behind her, the woman turned around.
He had a handsome face with a touch of heroism, long, slender eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and an imposing presence.
Honjo Aya.
She's a year younger than Shingetsu Seiun and a year older than him. She was one of the most prominent graduates of the previous Ninja Academy, possessing both exceptional ninja talent and a striking personal image. In the words of her previous life, she was a cool, aloof, and sophisticated older sister type with striking features.
However, upon seeing the Divine Moon Nebula that had appeared, a hint of displeasure appeared in the mature woman's eyes.
She frowned slightly and spoke coldly.
"Where have you been? Why are you in such a state?"
Shenyue Xingyun was already used to the other party's indifferent attitude.
Back in school, he was always like that, always aloof. But with his tall figure and striking eyes, he actually had quite a few fans.
Countless boys have privately said that being given a cold glance by the other person gives them plenty of material for their dreams for several nights in a row.
