NOVEL WEB Chapter 10: ch10
"Ding! The Host has successfully pretended to be powerful, earning +666 pretending points!"
"Ding! Pretend points are automatically assigned: Chūnin-level Chakra +111, Three Tomoe Sharingan +555."
"Ding! Chūnin-level Chakra (845/1000), not yet fully experienced. Please continue to act as the host to upgrade your abilities!"
"Ding! Three Tomoe Sharingan (1229/10000), experience not yet full. Please work hard to pretend and upgrade the ability!"
Ethan Uchiha had successfully amassed a significant amount of pretending points, bringing him closer to Jōnin-level Chakra. The experience for his Three Tomoe Sharingan had reached one-tenth, but he still had a long way to go before unlocking the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Enough, let's stop here," Teacher Seikou Kamikawa said, finally standing up.
He had kept silent during Asuma Sarutobi's earlier actions, but now felt it was time to conclude the farce after Asuma's defeat.
Unbeknownst to him, Asuma, filled with anger from his loss, pointed at Ethan.
"Ethan Uchiha, just wait! One day, I will surpass you," he shouted, trying to maintain his pride despite the defeat.
Little did he know, his words gave Ethan another chance to flaunt his superiority.
Taking advantage of the moment, Ethan slowly turned away, placed his hands behind his back, and looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, the light casting an imposing aura around him.
After a moment, he declared, "Those I defeat will never be considered my equals. I will give you time to catch up until you're out of sight."
Instantly, the playground fell silent. His words resonated deeply, leaving even Asuma in awe of Ethan's presence.
In the shadows, Isaac Uchiha and Hiruzen Sarutobi were taken aback.
"What is happening?" Hiruzen remarked, surprised by Ethan's confidence.
"Isaac, your grandson is remarkable—a true standout," he added, puffing on his pipe.
"Lord Hokage is overestimating him," Isaac replied, feeling a mix of pride and bewilderment. He wanted to confront Ethan, questioning how he could act with such confidence at just five years old.
In the field, the system chimed in again.
"Ding! Host successfully pretended to be powerful, earning +1666 pretending points!"
"Ding! Pretend points are automatically assigned: Chūnin-level Chakra +111, Three Tomoe Sharingan +444, C-level Body Flicker Technique +1111."
"Ding! Chūnin-level Chakra (956/1000), experience not yet full. Please continue to act as the host to upgrade your abilities!"
"Ding! Three Tomoe Sharingan (1673/10000), experience not yet full. Please work hard to pretend and upgrade the ability!"
"Ding! C-level Body Flicker Technique (1112/1000), experience is full, starting upgrade!"
"Ding! Upgrade successful! You have acquired: B-level Blast Body Flicker Technique (112/10000)."
In this wave, he directly earned 1666 pretending points, bringing him closer to Jōnin-level Chakra and increasing his Three Tomoe Sharingan experience.
The method for the Blast Body Flicker Technique appeared in his mind. This technique added a wind attribute that increased his speed.
Though learning it was challenging, Ethan mastered it instantly thanks to his system.
Feeling exhilarated, he returned to the line as Teacher Kamikawa reorganized the students for one-on-one training. The impact of Ethan's display lingered in their minds, with Asuma now just a backdrop to Ethan's achievements.
The female classmates admired Ethan, but he remained uninterested, focused instead on finding new ways to showcase his power.
Suddenly, a faint smell of smoke caught his attention.
"Is someone smoking?" he wondered, scanning the area, but found no one.
After searching for a while, he gave up, puzzled by the mysterious smoke.
