Chapter 14 - I Will Fight You Soon!

Just after he killed the Black Knight, the main screen suddenly appeared in front of him. In it, it says:

[Congratulations on killing the Basic Black Knight. From now on, as you proceed to the next level, you will face two stronger Black Knights. They will be 2 times stronger than this one, be prepared for the next time you try to challenge them again, there's a 90% chance that you will die]

Hikaru felt dizzy after he read that. The Black Knight he just fought was a basic one like the Black Knight in the Undead Burg? What the f*ck? Is the system toying with me?

Nevertheless, he just accepted the fact and tried to move on. He exited the arena and returned to his physical body and he notices it was still night. Though, it's only natural because he fought that Dark Knight for less than ten minutes, which was the most thrilling thing he had ever done.

But he noticed something in the fight, he never lost his cool. If it was him in the past, he would've pissed himself right there. He ignored it for now, cause' he is really feeling sleepy.

He lays on his futon on his back, ready to sleep. He took one last glance at Naruto, who is currently sleeping, and just smiled at her cute sleeping form before closing his eyes and he drifted to his dream world.

(6 AM in the morning, June 8, year 989)

The morning birds sang as the cold wind passed by through them. Trees rustled noisily when the cold gust stirred them.

Naruto woke up and rubs her eyes before she looks at the noise coming from the kitchen. The apartment is small, so the kitchen and her bed are just near each other. She saw Hikaru cooking their daily morning meal, which is bacon and eggs.

He looks at her as he flips the bacon down, and said, "Oh, you're awake, go wash your face and the food will be ready by the time you finish up."

But Naruto did not listen and just laid her back against the soft bed of hers.

"No, I'll just sleep. Wake me up again when you finish," she said lazily.

Hikaru shook his head and did the same thing he did every day since he lived here, he threw a spoon right into her head and she immediately stood up.

"Ow! Don't throw things at me!" Naruto yelled as she rubs the small lump on her forehead after the metal spoon bounced off.

"Now, now, since you want to be a Hokage, then wake up early. The Hokage does this every single day, so don't be lazy or else, I'll throw more things at you," when he spoke that last sentence, his eyes slightly grew red before it disappeared instantly.

"H-hai!!" Naruto rapidly ran to the bathroom to wash her face but she tripped when she was running towards it and fell face flat to the ground. She quickly stood up in fear of Hikaru and ran again towards the bathroom.

Hikaru smiled at her clumsiness, and he got to admit, it was pretty cute. Even though he is not a lolicon, but she got the face of her mother, and coupled with her glimmering blue eyes, she will be a beautiful woman once she matures.

He returned to his cooking and waited for Naruto to finish up.

(At The Academy, inside the classroom)

Iruka stood in front of all of the students he got with Mizuki right by his side.

"For today's lesson, we will do a taijutsu test. All of you will be sparring with each other and I will choose which student you will fight, got it? Now, line up in front of the door and we will walk to the back of the academy, where we will do the sparring session. Let's go!" Iruka announced.

Hikaru looks quite surprised that they're doing something different than learning "what is the favorite tea of the First Hokage". Why would we need to learn that by the way? To stalk him? Man, people must be crazy about the First.

Anyway, Sasuke who is right beside him looks excited. Sasuke looks at him straight in the. eye and said, " Get ready Hikaru, I will fight you soon!"

Again, Hikaru looks surprised. Since that day, when he beat those kids to near death, students have been frequently avoiding him due to fear. It seems like Sasuke is the opposite.
