8 Chapter 7 Fight in the Arena

"Are you satisfied?" He asked as he gazed at the class of students. "Yes sir." They answered, the students with a new found admiration and fear for their teacher.

They had asked him some questions about where he came from and what he had done, after that he briefly explained and stated how his actions were warped.

After that they asked as to what class they'd have next, and to that he answered, "Battle Class". Hearing this Jack was hyped up, but the rest of the class was a bit on edge.

"Anyway, now that we've wrapped up, I'll take you to the battle room." Madara said as he led his class out. "Remember, single file, and keep my pace." He commanded as the class followed him out properly.

'It feels like I am back in Kindergarten.' Jack thought as he followed his new teacher, although he was mid way in the line he still had direct sight of Madara's head, due to him being a head taller than most of his class. 'What dojutsu could he have unlocked past the Rinnegan?' Jack speculated as he began to theorize in his head.

Soon they reached a gigantic room. It was akin to a gym, but had a few differences. First there was an arena in the middle of it, secondly there were iron dummies around the room along with iron targets. Apart from that, there were a bunch of other items that could be utilized for training.

"Now, jog 2 laps." Madara said before the class went to jog, as the others left their teacher and ran past, Jack walked up next to him. "You really have changed." He said, as Madara smirked.

"Its been 400 years, and its a nearly entirely new world, you learn to change and grow." Madara stated as he smiled. "Hmm, that's good to hear, regardless you were always a fan favorite." Jack said as he patted him on the shoulder.

"Besides that, I thought I'd let you know, although your actions were wrong, they did truly bring about peace in the Shinobi World." Jack said before beginning to jog his laps.

'They seem to be good kids, well, we'll see, hopefully they can help out, if they can't, there's always the next batch.' Madara thought with a sad smile on his face. It wasn't the first batch of otherworlders he'd taught and it definitely wouldn't be the last.

After running the lap the class stood in front of Madara yet again. "Now tell me your abilities, this way I'll have a clearer picture of what you can do." Madara said as the class nodded.

Jack, Conner, Kurt, Bill, along with the rest of the class told Madara their abilities one by one. "I see, there are two big shots here, and since you seem so buddy buddy, why don't you have a match first." Madara suggested as he smiled.

To Jack this smile looked more like the representation of the devil. 'Fuck me, I really don't feel like being hit with fucking shock waves to be honest.' Jack thought, as he looked towards Conner.

"I don't mind, I'd like to test my strength without hurting someone." Conner stated, as he locked eyes with Jack. "Neither do I mind, assuming Conner can take a hit." Jack replied as Conner's eyes immediately blazed.

He may have been acting meek lately, but he still had his pride. "Good, then go up onto the arena and stand at opposite ends." Madara commanded as they both went up.

The arena was completely made out of an odd silver colored metal and was 100 meters in radius. It was only elevated about a meter from the actual ground though, to allow people to spectate the match easily.

"Conner I am just going to warn you, I don't know the full extent of my power right now." Jack warned as he put himself into an intimidating posture. "Neither do I, but I know you'll be able to take it, Jack." Conner said while putting himself into a fighting stance.

"3! 2! 1! GO!" Madara shouted as the two gazed at each other, not moving at all. 'I've never been in a fight before, do I just take first action?' Jack thought to himself as his face faltered momentarily.

'What is he doing? Is he trying to psyche me out with mental game? Hmmm, how should I go about a fight.' Conner contemplated as his eyes glazed over slightly.

"You two idiots! Get your mind out of the gutter, and just, FIGHT!" Madara shouted as they both trembled slightly. 'I need to keep range.' Conner thought. 'I need to close in.' Jack mused before dashing forward.

In an instant Jack traversed over 10 meters as he shot towards his best friend. "PUNCH!" Conner shouted as he punched the air unimpressively.

"This is a joke right?" Someone in the class asked as they nearly laughed. Madara's eyes immediately turned red as 3 tomoe spun around them. A second later shock flashed upon Madara's face, when a crack in the air appeared, and suddenly a shockwave resounded through the air.

"Kacha!"

Suddenly a force hit Jack's shoulder as he was pushed back slightly almost following. Seeing this Conner began to hesitate, but Jack immediately began to run in an awkward pattern.

This overall reduced his speed but it lessened his chances of getting hit again. 'Well if he's taking this seriously, so will I.' Conner thought as he continually punched the air in various positions.

A few seconds later several cracks appeared within the air, as suddenly Jack's body was struck multiple times, despite his best efforts to dodge the shockwaves.

At this point Jack was already slightly damaged, and losing stamina, he didn't even know if he could commit the finishing move, so if this continued he'd definitely lose.

"Conner I must say, you're quite good to have forced my hand." Jack said as he placed his fingers on a piece of the armor around his neck. After looking at himself in the mirror a bit, Jack had noticed something quite handy.

Suddenly the armor around his body receded to the neck piece before becoming a small ring. Jack then caught the ring and placed it onto his ring finger before gazing at Conner.

No one expected this, and the girls in the class immediately turned away. "Get decent." A boy in the class said before Madara shushed him. "This, that armor unlike what one might think, wasn't protecting him, rather restricting him." Madara explained as they looked in shock.

Jack was already insanely fast, much faster than human standards, and with their obtained abilities they could still witness him although with minute difficulty, but now there teacher was telling them, that that wasn't even his full power?

"Haha, this isn't even my final form." Jack said as his pale blue skin began to turn a much darker shade, simultaneously his muscles bulged and his height increased by a few centimetres making him now taller than Conner.

His pink spiky hair, was now more pulled back as the lines coursing throughout his body glowed brightly as if pure energy was running through them. The most odd feature, was the eye found in the middle of his chest.

"What the.." Conner said as he gazed at Jack. Immediately Jack shot forward, his speed many times greater than before.

His fist launching towards Conner. Seeing this, Conner didn't take it lying down as he rushed forward and punched out with all his might. This time a much larger crack appeared as a shock wave shot toward Jack.

As the two forces were about clash, suddenly a man appeared between them. "For fucks sake, why do they always nearly kill each other?" Madara said to himself after blocking their attacks.

"Whew." Conner sighed as he gazed at Jack, his power was monstrous. "I was just about to win, well, this is for the best, it was getting a bit out of hand." Jack stated as he tapped the ring, immediately the armor began to wrap around him again.

Once it was completed he turned around and walked off the arena. "An Epic ability, its on another level." Conner stated as Madara nodded. 'Although arrogant, that kid has potential.' Madara mused before turning to two other students. "You two next." He said as he pointed towards them.

This was going to be a long day of spars.
