"Finally..."
"Finally finished!" Obito couldn't help but cheer after completing the last problem.
After more than ten days of intense effort, he had finally finished the problems that were assigned in stages. From today onwards, he no longer had to do problems every day.
"What do you mean, 'finished'? Obito Uchiha, what are you shouting about? Get up and answer the question!" Chikaya Yu, startled by Obito's outburst, said with irritation.
However, to his surprise, Obito answered correctly, and Chikaya Yu had no choice but to nod and let Obito sit down to pay attention in class.
"Lin, let's go out tonight!" Obito grinned as he sat down.
"Tonight? Tomorrow's Saturday, how about going out tomorrow?" Lin Yawara suggested.
"Ah? It's already the weekend?" Obito's eyes widened in shock. "I just finished the stage assignments, and now it's already the weekend for picking up new ones?"
"Obito, have you really gotten so muddled with your studies lately? Today is already Friday." Lin joked.
She had noticed how hard he had been working recently. It was definitely different from before.
"Finally, the weekend is here. It feels like the time spent in class drags on forever, while weekends pass in the blink of an eye."
"Yeah, those long school breaks always feel shorter than the five days of school."
Obito: ...
Human sorrow and joy are not connected. He just felt like their chatter was annoying.
He felt like his Monday to Friday time had been stolen away. Every time he regained consciousness, it was already Friday and almost time for school to end, followed by the incredibly long weekend.
"Lin, let's go tonight instead. Tomorrow I need to train during the day and may not have enough energy at night." Obito said, sounding drained.
With the upcoming final exams, the weekend training was even harder than before.
Before, when he fought with Might Guy, he could use the terrain of the forest to his advantage. But after being assigned to the open flatlands, it was all about speed and agility.
So, Obito decided to go out with Lin tonight instead, since Friday's training would still be relatively light.
"Alright, tonight it is. After school, we'll eat and then go find Kakashi." Lin nodded.
Obito wanted to ask why Kakashi had to come along but hesitated and didn't ask.
"Maybe Lin thinks that Kakashi has no one to hang out with, so she's bringing him along," Obito thought to himself.
After school, Obito arrived at the usual training ground as the last one.
Just like before, he started with various physical exercises: push-ups, pull-ups, squats, and so on.
After a certain amount of time, it was time for combat.
"I'm changing the battle rules today." Muyu called Obito and Might Guy over.
"Every time you land a hit on your opponent, they get two additional questions, and you get one question reduced. The battle will last for seven minutes."
"Two extra questions for each hit, and seven minutes?" Obito thought he saw a sea of problems rushing toward him.
Before, a hit only added one question and the battle was five minutes long. Now it was significantly more intense.
The only good part was that landing a hit on the opponent would reduce a question, so if he managed enough hits, he wouldn't have to do any problems.
However, he had always been at a disadvantage in the previous battles!
He was glad that he had the foresight to ask Lin out tonight.
At this rate, with this intensity, the weekend would be exhausting, and it would take days to recover.
"Sharingan, Sharingan," Obito murmured, longing to activate his Uchiha bloodline.
"Muyu-sensei, what about the fifty questions I start with?" Might Guy looked at Muyu with anticipation.
"Reduced to forty," Muyu answered.
To balance things out, the questions couldn't be completely removed because Might Guy's taijutsu was much stronger than Obito's.
Although not removed entirely, the number was reduced by ten, so Might Guy was quite happy about that.
"Also, you can use training to offset the questions. You can offset up to 60% of the questions. Three hundred push-ups can offset one question, and other exercises can also help," Muyu added.
Since landing a hit would now increase the number of questions significantly, Muyu decided to allow exercise to offset the growing number of questions.
After all, the purpose of the questions was to enhance their learning and knowledge, not just as a punishment mechanism.
The questions were meant to be taught, not just completed.
"Offset 60%?" Obito's eyes lit up, but when he heard that it took three hundred push-ups to reduce one question, he felt the pressure building.
"Three hundred push-ups for one question? Hahaha!" Might Guy burst into laughter. He was definitely going to hit that 60% offset.
Seeing Might Guy laughing uncontrollably, Obito, with his face full of problems, calmly said:
"Muyu-sensei, this doesn't seem right. The purpose of offsetting questions through exercise is to help us get better training. It should be based on personal progress, not a fixed number."
He wasn't going to do a mountain of questions alone.
"Obito, you're right. Alright, Might Guy, we'll make it one thousand push-ups for one question." Muyu thought for a moment and decided this was a good adjustment.
Might Guy looked at Obito, his smile frozen in place.
"I know, Might Guy, you definitely want better training, right? No need to thank me," Obito said, giving Might Guy a thumbs-up.
"Yeah, Obito, I'm sure you also want a full-on battle, right?" Might Guy started stretching his legs, preparing to give his 120% effort in the battle.
Seven minutes later, the battle ended.
"Obito, 100 questions; Might Guy, 20 questions," Muyu announced the results.
"Obito, I know, you want more questions to study, right? No need to thank me," Might Guy grinned and gave Obito a thumbs-up.
Obito immediately wanted to slap himself from seven minutes ago. What was he thinking? Now, both sides were worse off.
There were so many questions that it was impossible to finish them all in one day. Some would be offset through training, while the rest would be done in stages.
Since Lin wanted to find Kakashi, Obito decided to ask Might Guy if he wanted to join them.
Since it wasn't just a date between him and Lin anymore, and Might Guy and Kakashi were also good friends.
To Obito's surprise, Might Guy declined, saying he had made plans to go night running with Shisui for some physical training.
However, they met up later that evening. While they were out having fun, they ran into Shisui and Might Guy, who were out running together.
"Shisui, trust me, next time try my tight-fitting outfit. It's perfect for training," Might Guy tried to promote his green bodysuit.
Shisui glanced at Might Guy posing in his tight suit and immediately shook his head, imagining himself wearing the same outfit. "No way, that's too weird."
"Kakashi, who's that with Might Guy?" Kakashi, who had never seen Shisui before, asked.
"We're Uchiha's geniuses. He's someone even more talented than you." Obito intentionally said.
"Heh, and you? The Uchiha's bottom of the barrel?" Kakashi replied dismissively.
