45 Soccer.

I slowly walked towards the field with Bong on my side, We ended up talking about some media we like and Bong even recommended some good movies for me to watch. I was always a more book, manga, and videogame person, so movies kind of become left out of my life, not that I have anything again it, I just didn't watch much of them?

But I guess I could relax and watch some movies today as I gave myself an off day, so today there is no training no studying, simply a day to relax. And watching some movies with popcorn and soda could certainly be a good idea of relaxation time.

Soon we reached the field and the PE teacher was waiting for us.

"Sup class. today is gonna be a free day, I don't have any kind of special activity for the class, so you can organize what you would like to play between yourselves. You all already know where each respective field is so just take care to not hurt yourselves. And remember that I will be watching."(PE Teacher).

"But before any of this let's do a stretch routine. I know a lot of you kids are anxious to do the cool things, but stretches are too important to pass and I don't want anyone to get hurt. So let's start with-"(PE Teacher).

Then the teacher and the class process to do a bunch of stretching exercises for some minutes, the class followed the instruction already used to such a thing as this is kind of the routine with this teacher.

After the stretches were finished the teacher free us to play whatever sport we wanted, some people went to the gymnasium to play basketball, others went to play volleyball, as I promised to Bong I stayed to play soccer.

11 vs 11 Coutign me in we already had the two teams formed, you could also see other people already playing on the adjacent soccer fields. Bong and the other team captain went to the middle of the field, another student that isn't playing just tossed the ball upwards and the game started.

Bong was able to get the first ball possession, quite skillfully he did some turns and passed the ball to someone behind him. The enemy team immediately sprang to life and started running towards the ball. I was watching everything unfold from my position as I was a defender.

But being on the defense did not mean I had to be lazy, Sprinting closer to the ball I positioned myself to receive a pass from the current possessor. Seeing me getting closer and the enemy player start circling him he passed the ball to me.

Now comes the moment where I need to praise the [Sharingan] a bit more, in my past life I was kind of horrible at some sports, but thanks to the magic eye I was able to confidently copy a lot fo professional soccer player skills, so you could say I have the skill set of a professional player and only lacked experience.

Dibriling one player I advanced to the enemy part of the field, and seeing as I was going to be circled I passed the ball to the team captain Bong. who easily took the ball and advanced once more. And after two or three more passes One enemy was sadly able to take possession of the ball.

Then the team started a defensive maneuver to not let the enemy team score. The game continued in much the same light, with our team attacking and somehow losing the ball, then defending the enemy team counter-attack. Sadly the skill difference was soon shown as we were able to make some good goals, our score quickly climbed and we ended up winning by a huge margin.

What I noticed in this game was that my stamina has upgraded quite a bit. I felt like I was always so full of energy and I could literally run for long periods of time without being easily winded, guess that meditative session cycling and cultivating Ki are starting to bore fruit in my body, it hasn't reached superhuman levels yet, but it sure is closer to that.

I wasn't the only one that notices how much stamina I had, Bong was quite a bit vocal about it.

"*huff*huff* You have a fucking monstrous stamina, you know that?"(Bong).

"Hahaha, I exercise quite frequently so there isn't much surprise about it."(Jin).

"I tough you were one of those muscleheads that don't train their stamina... Guess I was wrong."(Bong).

"My focus is in my stamina, these muscles are just the side effect of it."(Jin).

"Side effect my ass. Even I know those muscles need you to pull a lot of iron."(Bong).

"Hehe, you got me there. I go to the Aurora Gym, my focus is indeed stamina but I didn't forget to train the rest of my muscles of course."(Jin).

"Huh, nice... Just out of curiosity. Are you gay?"(Bong).

"No, why?"(Jin).

"I just thought because you-. I mean... I never saw you with a girl before."(Bong).

"I like women you know. It's just that I have other priorities right now."(Jin).

I kinda forgot how much high schoolers focused on skirt-chasing. But since mom has become sick I honestly didn't think much about it, it was simply at the back of my mind as I had some more extremely important things to do.

"I kinda forgot that you are such a nerd."(Bong).

"You think I am a nerd, why?"(Jin).

"Dude, you have max scores in absolutely everything. If you weren't so scary you would be a fucking celebrity in school."(Bong)

"Having high scores doesn't mean that I am a nerd..."(Jin).

"How much do you study per day?"(Bong).

"Around 10 hours, sometimes more sometimes less."(Jin)

That is technically not a lie as I really do spend that time studying the things I engraved in my mind with the [Sharingan], so now that I think about it I could be considered a huge nerd. Bong right now is looking at me with a face that says "Do you are have stupid".

"Now that I said it out loud it does indeed sounds like I am a nerd."(Jin).

"Glad I helped in your journey of self-discovery. But now that the game has ended, it's lunchtime so I want to eat something with the team, are you coming?"(Bong).

"Thanks for the offer but I like to eat alone. I guess I will see you later at the Arts class?"(Jin).

"Sure man, bye."(Bong).

Lunch was a quiet affair, and as I said to Bong, I like to eat alone. It's one of the things I do that reminds me of the good times with all my family. I ate slowly and soon it was time for art class, but all the way to it I couldn't help but think about something that popped up in my memory during lunch.

I know that sooner or later I would have to learn some martial arts skills and use my ki in a plethora of ways ranging from movement to wanton destruction. But I couldn't help but think... Does Ki have any artistic applications?

Like... I know I could use Ki to destroy and do a lot of damage, but can I use Ki in painting for example? Or maybe sculpting? It can't be possible that during all these millennia that Ki existed they only thought of using it to kill things, there is always someone who is more artistic inclined even in the murim, so I don't doubt there aren't some Ki techniques to use for art.

A lot of you must be thinking that learning this is useless. But you are sorely mistaken, if some wuxia is to be believed art can help someone reach some degrees of enlightenment, so maybe it could even help in my cultivation or coordination. But those are toughs for the future me, right now I am not even int eh [Second] step, even the normal martial skills are a bit far away too, so I have to progress a bit before I start thinking about art and whatnot.

Sadly the Arts class wasn't as different as the Sociology one, today the class was simply about the renaissance period, thankfully the dull teacher was compensated by the interesting subject. My favorites works of art are from the renaissance period, my favorite being the "Cupola of the Cathedral of Parma".

The class ended and so did the next ones, sadly there isn't much to tell you about the other classes, they were utterly normal so talking about being seated for hours without doing anything while I was basically resting instead of doing the usual that si reading the things engraved in my mind but the [Sharingan].

Soon it was the end of school for today, and the time I went to see what that love letter is all about. going to the place where the person was waiting for me I could see a silhouette wearing the female uniform. *sigh*, Thankfully it's a girl, nothing against gay dudes or anything but I don't swing that way.

The person that is waiting for me is without a doubt beautiful, with long shining black hair, a girly body that fits perfectly with the schoolgirl uniform type.

"Hello. Are you the one who wrote the Letter."(Jin).

"Y-Yes, it was me... My name is Sung Bae, and i-i-i-"(Sung Bae).

"*sigh* Sorry to disappoint you but I am straight. So I refuse."(Jin).

Yeah, folks, the beautiful girl is a dude. Even if this dude fits the word Trp to a big T and it would be quite difficult to differentiate if you don't have a keen eye, which is kind of a joke for someone who has the [Sharingan]...

Now that I think about it If I had a coin for every time someone tough I was gay I would have two coins, which is not much, But it's weird that it happened twice. And on the same day to boot... this is extremely weird. It could be my appearance, but I am the literal definition of masculinity in appearance at least, I don't have that typical swimmer's body that leaves to doubts... Those fuckers started another rumor didn't they?

"B-but... I tought-"(Sung Bae).

"Calm down dude. It was probably just a rumor, I won't be mad at you just because of a misunderstanding."(Jin).

"*sigh of relief* Sorry, it's that you are pretty scary. Even taking the courage to send that letter and talk was quite difficult."(Sung Bae).

"No problem dude, but why did you tough I was gay? If you know who spread those rumors I have quite a bit of words with him."(Jin).

The last part was said while I did a punching motion with my right fist, so I guess Sung Bae got my drift. After the steroids rumor, I got quite pissed with the bastards that started it, if that shit didn't reach the teachers and I had to talk to then I wouldn't be that much pissed. But I can almost bet this one will reach them and I would have another extremely awkward conversation, so a passive approach is a no-go right now.

"I honestly don't know. One of the girls heard it from another, who also heard it from another, so I sincerely don't know who started it. And if you discover the person please say who it is. I am quite pissed too."(Sung Bae).

"No problem bro. After I show them why Teeth are a privilege, they are all yours."(Jin).

After that I ended up talking a bit more with Sung, the guy is quite a cool dude. We even ended up becoming friends with the objective of punching the bastard in the face. Heck, I didn't even know someone who appears to be so feminine looking could be so violent when he wanted, Sung even said his favorite game was Doom and he principally liked the most brutal of the executions. I talked about Skyrim, as it is one of my favorites and he said he would definitely check it out.

Then Sung had something to do in the afternoon so we parted ways and I went back home.
