Rock Lee watches with amazement as Jon's clone puts the food on the table, "This is the Shadow Clone Technique! You know ninjutsu?"
Jon's clone gently put the plate down on the table and disappeared instantly before Rock Lee's eyes.
He could see that Lee's eyes were filled with a strange glowing light and admiration for him, "Please have a taste of the food."
"Oh! Right, thank you," Lee started to dig in, and upon getting the taste of the first bite, he couldn't stop himself as he ate faster and faster.
For Lee, it isn't just about the taste of the food alone; he could feel the vigor of his body just filled with overwhelming excitement upon consuming the energy into his body.
He feels like he could be running 100 miles non-stop without stopping and would not be tired.
"What is this food?! It is amazing!!" Lee said with praise as he stuffed his mouth with the bread and the vegetable salad.
"I'm glad you like it," he said to him, "I chose the ingredients specifically so that they can help your body grow stronger. You know your training is leaving you empty of energy, which will cause slight damages that will hinder your training over time."
"Ah! I have been overtraining these days, and I feel muscles are strained and aching," Lee said, putting down the food bowl, "I didn't know there were such aftereffects."
He put his hand warmly like a father figure on top of Lee's small head, "Don't worry, I will provide you with a specific diet that would help you heal your hidden internal injuries and grow stronger."
"Thank you..." Jon was surprised when he noticed that small tears welling up in Lee's eyes as he looked at Jon sitting in front of him.
"Hey now, don't cry. It is just food, not worth being so emotional about it," Jon comforted him, stuffing a piece of chocolate cake into his mouth, "if you keep being like this, it will make me feel uncomfortable, and I won't cook for you in the future."
"I'm not crying at all," Lee said, wiping the tears that were swelling from his eyes before, as his mouth became stuffed with the cake that he was chewing, "my eyes are just sweating!"
Jon smiled, seeing him hiding his tears as he spoke with his mouth completely, "But I'm glad I have a guest now. It gets a little boring sometimes when it is just me here."
He has always thought that Rock Lee was an incredible character in Naruto; he admired Lee's determination in life and his will never to give up.
Finishing the food on the table, Lee pats his full stomach as Jon smiles, seeing how happy he is from eating his food, "You don't have to eat so full; you can still eat more. My clones can cook for you anytime."
"You don't know, Jon Sensei, but the village only hands a small amount of allowance to me every month," Lee scratched his head awkwardly while smiling in that happy-go-lucky way, "I didn't know today I would meet someone so amazing like you, Jon Sensei!"
Jon gives a humble smile as he shakes his head to indicate that it is only a small act of his not worthy of being mentioned, "No, it is fine--Wait a minute, what did you just call me?"
From his understanding, the only person worthy of being a teacher for Lee was Guy in Naruto, the teacher he met.
He observes as Lee quickly gets up from the bench seat in the beautiful and peaceful grass field, bowing himself respectfully and asking for permission, "Please, accept me as your disciple!"
Jon was not expecting this kind of development. Moreover, he was not even sure he would be better than Guy as a teacher for Lee. But he could see the seriousness on Lee's face as he bows toward him.
"Are you sure you want me to be your teacher, Lee?" Jon asked calmly.
"Yes!!"
He smiled, then lifted Lee from his bowing position with his back bent, "Alright, disciple accepted. From now on, you will be my first disciple."
"Thank you, Jon Sensei!"
As he accepted Lee as his student, he heard a notification in his mind:
[Disciple Accepted: Rock Lee]
[System searching for a fitting training system...]
[One Punch Man: Saitama's Workout]
Immediately, all of the information regarding this training system became presented in his mind; he then looked at Lee with seriousness, "Lee, are you ready to accept your first training lesson?"
"Yes, Jon Sensei! I'm brimming with energy!" Lee immediately stood straight like a soldier ready for his battle, which made Jon smile inside, seeing how comedic his action was, but of course, he remained like a true teacher in appearance with a severe expression.
Extending his index finger, Lee watched with amazement as the tip of the finger had a certain glow to it, watching as the index finger reached his forehead.
The second that the index fingertip connected with his head, Rock Lee's eyes widened with a shock in his eyes as they were opened fully.
This was the first time that Jon experienced this skill given by the system, so he also didn't know what would happen if this was given to Lee.
While on Lee's side, his head exploded with new memories regarding a new training workout called [One Punch Man: Saitama's Workout].
He saw a bald man who, with a single punch, was able to destroy a monster and change the stormy weather in the sky.
He saw all the other fighting actions displayed in his mind by this person who practiced this training art.
Besides that, Lee also feels his body suddenly become a little more full of energy than before. It is as though the limit present in his body before has now been fully unlocked.
[Training Progress: 0.01%]
Jon could see a figure appearing on top of Lee's head, and he figured that it must be related to the new training he had presented to Lee.
