Leaving aside the encounters along the way, Ye Xuan arrived at the classroom door.
For some reason, the classroom, which usually felt incredibly close to the school gate, now seemed extremely far away. This was a feeling he used to have only when leaving school, but now he felt it even when going to school.
The world has really changed a lot, Ye Xuan sighed unconsciously, and then prepared to push the door open, but the next second…
"Click!"
A boy with a bandage around his right eye suddenly flung open the door and rushed out. He was furious, slammed the door shut, and yelled at the closed classroom door:
"Sarutobi, you'll regret this!"
"Bang!"
The door shook violently; Ye Xuan could even see chalk dust falling from the door frame. He stood there, holding his breakfast, unsure whether to go in.
Just then, another boy roared from inside:
"Danzo, I'm the Hokage!"
Ye Xuan: "…"
There are so many classic Naruto stories, why do you have to imitate this?
If the door breaks one day, it'll all be your fault.
The sound of desks and chairs clattering came from inside the classroom, as if someone was imitating a taijutsu duel. Ye Xuan sighed and knocked on the door.
"Wait!"
hurried footsteps came from inside.
"Let me form a hand seal! Snake-Sheep-Monkey-Pig-Horse-Tiger."
Ye Xuan pushed open the door expressionlessly and saw a boy wearing a Hokage hat frozen in place, still in a hand seal pose. The classroom was a mess.
Desks had been pushed together to resemble the "Hokage's office," the blackboard was covered with Konoha Village symbols, and someone had even stuck a few explosive tags on the ceiling.
Of course, they were made of paper.
"Um... actually, I was going to finish the hand seal before opening the door."
"You know, today is Wednesday, and it just so happens to be our Hokage faction's turn."
The boy in the Hokage hat awkwardly lowered his hand.
"Of course I know."
Ye Xuan's lips twitched slightly; he was in this class, how could he not know?
Because everyone in the class watches too many anime, and everyone likes different anime, different factions were formed after much discussion. The faction with the most members takes turns from Monday to Friday, and if there's school on weekends, it's a free-for-all.
Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball, One Piece, Hunter x Hunter, Fairy Tail, Fox Spirit Matchmaker... It's safe to say that in today's technologically advanced world, the emergence of short videos truly allows people to watch all the classic scenes of a long anime in just one hour.
The person who invented short videos and short video commentary is a genius.
"If the hand seals aren't finished, your body will probably suffer a backlash, right?"
"So, do you need me to call the medical team?"
Ye Xuan looked at him seriously and said.
"Pfft."
A burst of suppressed laughter immediately filled the classroom. The Naruto hat-wearing man's face turned bright red, and he stammered,
"N-no need."
Ye Xuan carried his breakfast to his seat, and as he passed him, he casually straightened the crooked Naruto hat.
"Watch your hat, Third Hokage!"
A burst of laughter erupted in the classroom. The Hokage-hatted man covered his face and squatted down, then quickly organized the others to put the desks and chairs back in their places and wipe the Konoha Village symbol off the blackboard.
They were all experienced; Ye Xuan had arrived, so class wouldn't be long before it started.
The "Danzo" outside the door had long since disappeared.
He was probably from another class; but liking "Danzo" was quite niche. If he really awakened, he'd probably be a good scapegoat and backstabber. "Ye Xuan!"
A boy wearing round-framed glasses poked his head out from the back row. Unlike the others, he wasn't dressed in conspicuous anime character clothing, but he had a red bow tie around his neck that looked like it belonged to Conan. His name was Li Wen, and he was considered the class's "know-it-all."
You can basically find out everything about the class, big and small, including which two classmates are dating, the teachers' phone numbers, exam scores, holiday dates, how many people in the whole school have awakened superpowers, what superpowers they've awakened, who obtained dimensional treasures, and which world the treasures come from.
Ye Xuan felt okay about him. Although he didn't like his ostentatious manner after knowing the class's grades, he still liked him quite a bit when he mentioned and affirmed it before the teacher, especially on non-holidays.
Well, that was how it was before the system awakened.
Now, with the system awakened, going to school has actually become an interesting thing. At this moment, he looked at Ye Xuan with some confusion.
"Why are you wearing ancient costume today? Didn't you always wear your school uniform?"
"Are you playing a character?"
"Sort of."
Ye Xuan placed the breakfast on the table and said casually.
Li Wen's eyes lit up.
"Who are you playing?"
"I must say, you're quite handsome. The fabric quality, the craftsmanship of the scabbard..."
He pulled out a notebook from somewhere and started scribbling on it while looking at Ye Xuan's clothes.
"Wang Quan Ba Ye."
"Wang Quan."
Li Wen paused for a moment, then suddenly realized.
"Oh, the one from Fox Spirit Matchmaker, no wonder he looked familiar!"
The attention of the others in the classroom was also drawn.
"Is Ye Xuan playing the one from the Bamboo Leaf arc? Wang Quan Fu Gui's father?"
"Yes, yes, the one with Dongfang Huai Zhu."
Ye Xuan ignored the surrounding discussions and opened his breakfast bag. Li Wen, however, wouldn't let him off the hook and leaned in to ask in a low voice:
"Hey, where did you buy these clothes? They look good quality, they must have been expensive?"
"Custom-made."
Ye Xuan said, taking a bite of his bun.
Li Wen wanted to ask something more, but the class bell suddenly rang, so he had to return to his seat dejectedly. However, his eyes kept glancing at Ye Xuan, clearly planning to get more information after class.
Ye Xuan glanced out the window; the sunlight was perfect. This kind of campus life was quite nice.
"Chao, almost late!"
Just as Ye Xuan was lamenting, the classroom door was kicked open, and a boy in a purple T-shirt rushed in.
He was carrying two backpacks, one of which flew through the air and landed precisely on a seat in the back row. The boy slid to the seat next to Ye Xuan and shouted,
"Ye Xuan, give me a steamed bun!"
"Here you go."
Ye Xuan pushed the plastic bag containing the steamed bun over.
Chen Hao, nicknamed "Eagle Eye," had no other meaning than that he was one of only three in the class to awaken a special ability, which gave him eyesight comparable to an eagle, allowing him to clearly see scenery hundreds or even thousands of meters away.
However, this superpower was useless at school because his grades didn't improve after the awakening of his ability; not that they didn't improve, but the correct answers had nothing to do with him.
If no device for temporarily sealing superpowers was developed for the college entrance exam, then this ability would be quite useful.
"Dead Hawkeye, running so fast, do you want to die?!"
A boy in a school uniform followed in breathlessly, cursing at Chen Hao. After cursing Chen Hao, Zhang Yu's eyes immediately locked onto the steamed bun in Ye Xuan's hand, and he quickly reached out:
"Where's mine?"
Ye Xuan handed over another bag:
"The soy milk is at the bottom, don't spill it."
Zhang Yu took the breakfast and then noticed Ye Xuan's outfit today. He was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up:
"Not bad, you look pretty cool today!"
Chen Hao stuffed steamed buns into his mouth and mumbled:
"I was just about to ask, Ye Xuan, who are you cosplaying today? This sword looks pretty cool."
"Wang Quan Ba Ye."
Ye Xuan didn't know how many times he had said it.
"Who?"
Chen Hao's clear eyes showed confusion.
"It's that noob who wasn't high enough level to lead his teammates out to jungle, and only two of them survived,"
Zhang Yu explained to Chen Hao while eating a steamed bun.
"Oh, okay."
Chen Hao nodded, then looked at Ye Xuan with a puzzled expression, seemingly wondering why Ye Xuan would cosplay as a noob.
"..."
He couldn't even refute it.
