Chapter 13 : Challenge (Rewrite)

While Ino was hugging Kirito or more like crushing him to death.

Almost all of the students were looking at him. It was not something new that they had seen.

Almost every day, both of them behaved the same but even now everyone was jealous.

The boys of the class were jealous of Kirito to land the prettiest girl in the class.

Girls were Jealous of Ino because he got all of Kirito's attention. While there Sasuke Kun was not giving them any attention.

Maybe the most envious people in the class were Sakura and Hinata. They too wanted to be like that with their Sasuke Kun and Naruto Kun.

But Sasuke did not show any kind of attention to all the girls which always bothered him.

And Hinata was too shy to talk to Naruto.

"Hey Kirito, why are you looking at Hinata" Ino asked when Kirito was thinking.

"Nothing, just saw that she always looking at my brother for some reason." Kirito could not find any other reason and told the truth.

This forms a tick mark on Ino's head. 'He understands what Hinata is thinking without even talking with her and I am being his fan girl and acting like a lost puppy in front of him but he doesn't realize what I want' thought Ino.

Ino huff and pull Kirito to sit beside her.

Time passed and Iruka finally came and the exams finally started.

The first exam was the one on one combat. The written test was already done a few weeks ago because the teachers needed time to check the paper.

Everyone finally came outside and was ready to start fighting.

The exams were very simple. There was two part of this exam.

First is the fighting and the ranking system and second is the qualification in 3 of the academy Jutsu.

"Shikamaru vs Aoji" ask Iruka.

Shikamaru did not give up like always and used his clan's special technique to capture his opponent.

He passed without even moving from his place and at his even Sasuke was giving him a look.

'Maybe his mother did give him the motivation to pass the exams.' thought Kirito.

Before leaving the ground he said his Iconic dialogue "Troublesome" and left.

Next was Ino with another class girl and Ino won with a landslide.

Kirito smiled and high-fived Ino.

Hinata was exactly like the shy girl who did not want to hurt anyone. Needless to say, she lost because she did not even fight back.

Sakura did win her battle against another girl.

Shino and Kiba ended up fighting each other and Kiba was destroyed by Shino. The boy is really strong just never let us know that.

Another two future teammates from canon who ended up fighting were Naruto and Sasuke.

Although Naruto did give a good fight to Sasuke he was no match for Sasuke currently.

But that does not mean that he did not push Sasuke. Naruto was a fast learner especially when it came to physical things.

Kirito's two months of training increased his speed and made him strong.

Naruto might not be an opponent for Sasuke but he was able to push Sasuke in the battle and it was visible to others as well.

Sasuke when he saw how good Naruto has become was a little angry and used more force. With a single kick in the face, he was able to send Naruto flying back from the fighting ring.

Kirito saw that and he became Angry. ' The bastard hit him in the face on purpose' thought Kirito.

Kirito was done with his fight and he fought with a civilian kid. Naruto was not supposed to fight Sasuke at all.

The fight is all based on ranking and Naruto was pretty much the last when it come to that among all the combat-oriented ninjas in Konoha 12.

Once the fighting was over. Iruka gave the ending speech and also gave other options to fight for the Rookie of the Year post.

While the other ranking was set and won't be changed any time soon the ranking for the rookie of the year was a little special and could be challenged.

Naruto immediately raised his hand even though he had just been beaten by Sasuke.

"Naruto, you cannot fight Sasuke again," Iruka said sighing. He was no longer someone who judged and hated the Uzumaki brother but he still was exhausted by Naruto. He was irritated by him a lot.

"Ah come on Iruka sensei, why can't I fight him again" whined Naruto and even Kirito was irritated by Naruto's antics sometimes.

"Because he just fought you Naruto and stop making trouble for the class," Iruka said and sighed again.

Naruto pouted but shut up after that. Maybe the real reason was Sakura who ended up shouting at Naruto who wanted to fight and defeat her Sasuke Kun.

Iruka, looked around the class to find out if anyone else wanted to challenge Sasuke.

Many faces show that they wanted the rookie of the year position but that does not mean that he was mad enough to challenge Sasuke.

Finally, when Iruka was about to move on after seeing that no one had raised their hand. He saw a single hand being raised by a blonde-haired kid.

He instinctively said "Naruto, I am not letting you fight Sasuke again so there is no point in raising your hand please lower it" but the hand did not lower and when Iruka finally saw the face of the person who raised the hand he was surprised.

Kirito in class hardly participated in class activities so Iruka was taken aback.

Ino was also surprised to see Kirito's actions. Over the year she has learned that Kirito is very passive when it comes to fighting and does not usually take the first approach to fight.

Naruto, Hinata, Shikamaru, Kiba, Sakura and all other Konoha 9 were surprised by Kirito's action.
