Chapter 32 Sōseki: You Want Me to Graduate Before I Finish Mooching?

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, a year has passed.

In the actual combat class.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

"Hundred Mountains Rush!"

The strong hurricane blowing from Asuma's mouth was blown away by Sōseki with a punch, and the air currents scattered towards the surroundings.

Amid the turbulent cloud of dusts, Sōseki suddenly jumped out, his arms raised high and he then slammed it fiercely into the ground front of him.

Boom!

The ground cracked instantly, forming a "crater" five meters in diameter.

Looking at the destroyed clone in the crater, cold sweat broke out from Asuma's back, "Why am I feeling that Sōseki is getting more and more violent now?"

Seeing Sōseki rushing towards him again, Asuma did not dare to be distracted, and while throwing a shuriken to disrupt Sōseki's rush, he quickly formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

Seeing a fire dragon blocking the road, Sōseki's face didn't change as he greeted it with a fist.

Of course, ordinary Taijutsu-user Shinobi wouldn't dare to do something like this, but for him, it is just a matter of condensing Yang Chakra Attribute in advance to heal his wound in advance, so there is absolutely no need to dodge it.

The ferocious fire dragon was directly blown up, turning into sparks.

Even Asuma was a little dumbfounded, 'Sōseki was not so reckless last time!'

But he didn't have time to think too much, and could only barely make a few hand seals.

"Wind Release: Vacuum..."

On the way to the attack, Sōseki stomped on the ground, and the earth trembled violently, causing Asuma's figure to slightly tilted to one side.

'It's bad, I made a wrong hand seal...' Asuma's eyes widened. The small air mass that should have been spit out from his mouth could only be ejected from another channel.

Poot~~~

Hearing this gentle and long voice, Asuma blushed, and just as he was distracted, a gust of wind blew against him.

Asuma looked up and saw that Sōseki's fist has stopped firmly in front of him.

On the other side, Yagami has already made a judgment, "Shimizu Sōseki, win! You two should form the 'Seal of Reconciliation' now!"

"Sōseki is really amazing. He torn apart such a ferocious fire dragon!"

"Speaking of which, Asuma is really tenacious."

"Yeah, I also thought he would have given up challenging class leader long ago!"

"Although he has never won once, but...pfft, sorry, when I think that his winning percentage ranks is the last in the class, I feel that he is too miserable!"

In the quiet discussion among the surrounding students, Sōseki patted Asuma's shoulder and said, "How is it? Are you alright?"

"Hmph, I just..."

"Don't worry, he has long been used to losing." Ibiki, who his tongue become more and more venomous, said abruptly from the side.

Asuma's eyes widened upon hearing this, "You bastard, don't look down on me. I've been making a lot of progress now. In just two...three, four, yes, in just four years, I will definitely be able to defeat Sōseki!"

As he was talking, Asuma suddenly caught a glimpse of Shizune holding a small notebook and writing something.

"Shizune, what are you doing?"

"Oh, I wrote down what you said. If you still lose in four years..."

Hearing this, Asuma showed his grievance and said depressed, "Shizune, even you have become bad now."

At this moment, Yagami called, "Students, please be quiet."

"I am very happy that everyone has entered the second grade. Starting today, you all can be regarded as seniors in the Academy."

Hearing this, everyone's faces showed excited expressions and eagerness to try. They couldn't wait to show their "senior" style in front of the new students.

"However, don't think that you can relax. If you don't work hard, you might be overtaken by those new students one day."

Many people secretly twitched his lips. They have now figured out Yagami's method. This is the first time he become a teacher, but they also learned from other teachers saying that they are the worst students he has ever taught.

How can it be false? They are obviously his first students, so of course they can be said as the worst one.

Seeing that everyone didn't seem to believe it, Yagami showed serious expression and said, "Don't think that I'm joking. In this year's new students, there are kids with talent that is no weaker than Sōseki and the others!"

"No way, among those new students, there are geniuses on the same level as class leader?"

"Oh~ the new students are indeed monsters!"

Asuma thought for a bit and said, "Yagami-sensei is too much. How can I be classified as 'others'."

Hearing this, Ibiki couldn't help but said, "Don't worry, maybe Yagami-sensei didn't count you in it at all."

Seeing this, Yagami was satisfied and nodded, "Now, do you know the pressure of your previous seniors?"

Hearing this, everyone laughed shyly.

Indeed, their previous second grade seniors were really miserable. Not to mention they are being bullied by their senpai, but they are also under pressure from their juniors.

After explaining the precautions for the beginning of school, Yagami shifted his attention towards Sōseki.

"Sōseki, with your current strength, you can already apply for early graduation. What do you think about this?"

Everyone who were laughing and joking happily suddenly became silent, and they all turned their nervous and anxious gaze towards Sōseki.

Seeing Sōseki's silence, Yagami said again, "Except for the war period, the Academy's earliest graduation record is 7 years old. If you apply for graduation now, you will be able to break the previous record."

In the Shinobi World where the "genius" prevails, creating various "records" is something to be proud of.

Therefore, the eyes of the classmates also dimmed. They were reluctant to let Sōseki go, but they were also unwilling to give up the honor that belonged to Sōseki.

However, Sōseki doesn't want to graduate early. He is mooching well now, so how could he give up his plan because of such boring things.

Furthermore, Konoha is not a charity. Once he graduates, he will need to join a team to perform missions.

After all, a large part of the cost of maintaining Konoha's operation comes from the commission of completing missions.

Except for some special circumstances, Shinobi must complete the assigned mission quota every month before taking a break.

For Sōseki, who is in the stage of rapid improvement, he naturally does not want to waste his precious time on such boring missions.

Of course, it's not nice to decline it without reasons, so his statement naturally would be--

"The more you learn, the knowledge I learn, the more I can understand my own insignificance and ignorance. For such a shallow me, early graduation is not a suitable choice." Sōseki said, and then his gentle eyes swept over everyone, "More importantly, I promised to advance and retreat with everyone! "

There was a moment of silence on the training grounds, and then a burst of cheers erupted like a tide.

"Great, I know that class leader will not abandon us!"

"Damn, we are all dragging down Sōseki. Starting today, I will double my training intensity!"

On the side, the corner of Yagami's mouth formed a subtle arc, 'Hehe, do you think that as a teacher, I will not use the new method?'
