Magnetic Storm Fist?
Iryūba was stunned.
What was that?
(●°u°●) "
Hyuga Satoru shrugged.
He wasn't planning to explain it. Even if he did, they wouldn't understand.
Strictly speaking, the Magnetic Storm Fist was an application of high-energy pulses.
In a world where electromagnetism was still limited to electric lights and basic electrical appliances, trying to explain the principles of electromagnetic pulses would be way too difficult.
An Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) weapon, as seen in many science fiction films, isn't a complex concept.
Using a rapidly expanding, high-frequency magnetic field, the weapon strikes the nitrogen and oxygen atoms in the air, causing ionization. Then, through electromagnetic induction, a high-voltage current is generated in circuits, burning out circuit boards.
It's the enemy of electronic devices!
But this pulse is generally harmless to the human body because the human body doesn't experience electromagnetic induction. So, Satoru skipped this step and directly used the alternating magnetic field to create high-voltage currents, which then exploded in pulses from his palm!
In addition to the electric shock, this attack also carried a powerful shockwave, which was why Iryūba was thrown several meters back.
Iryūba was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it stronger than the Gentle Fist?"
"Of course." Satoru gave him a sidelong glance.
Iryūba instinctively wanted to argue. The concept of the Gentle Fist was deeply rooted in his mind. However, as he remembered how easily he was defeated with just one punch from Satoru, his expression darkened.
"I lost…"
"Did... did I win?" Satoru tilted his head, perplexed.
Red Bean, still stunned, opened her mouth, but no words came out. If someone had put something strange in her mouth at that moment, she might not have noticed.
"Hyuga Satoru wins."
After a long silence, Fujino Daiki finally announced the results.
Uchiha Rin, though showing surprise, didn't appear too shocked, as she had anticipated this outcome. Her gaze, however, was unwavering as she scrutinized Satoru.
"This guy is even stronger than I imagined. Only someone like him can qualify as my opponent!"
Obito, with his mouth hanging open, watched Satoru walk back, confused. They had agreed to both be the family's embarrassment—he'd disgrace the Uchiha clan, and Satoru would disgrace the Hyuga clan. How did it turn around so quickly? Now, Satoru was a genius, and Obito was still the embarrassment of the Uchiha clan.
This wasn't fair!
As Satoru walked back, Red Bean, looking shocked, asked, "Satoru, how did you do that?"
Satoru raised an eyebrow, sighed, and said, "There's no such thing as a genius. I just spent my time studying when everyone else was sleeping."
Red Bean rolled her eyes. "I don't believe you! I've never seen you stay awake in class."
...
Fujino Daiki quickly recovered, announcing the next set of battles. As a ninja with years of teaching experience, his insights surpassed those of ordinary ninjas.
"I can't believe I misjudged him. That kid wasn't the class loser; he's a genius! But how did he defeat Iryūba? That move was so fast—it didn't seem like the Gentle Fist?"
Fujino Daiki pondered for a long time, his expression fluctuating. After several student battles, he finally announced the next match.
"Next up, Uchiha Rin versus Hyuga Satoru!"
The crowd erupted in excitement.
"Oh my God, it's Uchiha versus Hyuga!"
"Uchiha Rin has always been a genius competing with Kakashi. Can Satoru win?"
"It's hard to say. Even though he defeated Iryūba, Rin is way stronger."
...
Red Bean was about to say something but hesitated and only muttered, "Good luck."
Obito shouted across the crowd, waving at Uchiha Rin. "Rin, go for it! Beat him up good!"
Uchiha Rin ignored him.
Facing each other, Rin surveyed Satoru with a mixture of interest and calmness, before speaking, "How's the bow I gave you?"
The students around them exchanged confused glances. A bow? What's going on? Could these two...
Satoru awkwardly coughed.
"It's fine."
"Then don't disappoint me!"
As soon as her words fell, Rin's eyes narrowed. With a swift motion, she threw several kunai into the air. The kunai collided mid-air, creating an impenetrable net that sealed all of Satoru's escape routes.
"What impressive throwing skills!"
Fujino Daiki couldn't help but praise her. This technique of altering the kunai's flight path through mid-air collisions was one even a low-ranking Uchiha ninja rarely mastered so well.
Facing the incoming assault, Satoru gripped a kunai to block.
What happened next stunned everyone. No matter the angle the kunai came from, Satoru effortlessly blocked or dodged each one, almost as if...
"Are the kunai afraid of him?"
A voice rang out in the crowd, confused.
"What are you talking about? Kunai don't have life, they can't be afraid of him!"
"Didn't you notice?" the person replied, turning around, "It's not him dodging the kunai, the kunai are dodging him."
The doubtful person looked closely, his mouth agape. He saw that when the kunai was about to hit Satoru, the trajectory would miraculously shift, narrowly avoiding him. This subtle change allowed Satoru to easily evade the barrage of kunai attacks.
"Could it be..." Rin's eyes narrowed, a terrifying thought flashing through her mind. But then doubt crept in.
"No way. He's from the Hyuga clan, this shouldn't be possible."
Realizing the kunai had become useless, Rin stopped throwing. Gripping her kunai, she transformed into a human arrow, charging straight at Satoru.
Satoru mirrored her actions, both gripping kunai, and they clashed in a battle of physical combat.
As the battle continued, the astonishment on Rin's face deepened. She finally understood Iryūba's earlier helplessness.
"Your speed... You've definitely been hiding your strength."
In terms of physical combat, she had reached the level of a low-ranking ninja, but against Satoru, she was at a disadvantage.
Satoru smirked. "Isn't that obvious?"
With Byakugan and enhanced physical speed, he could easily suppress Rin. The only thing missing was combat experience, but that gap was steadily closing as the fight progressed.
"Hmph. If I activate my Sharingan, you definitely won't be this easy to deal with!"
With a defiant snort, Rin retreated, abandoning the physical battle.
Activating the Sharingan was far more difficult than Byakugan, and at this stage, facing Satoru in physical combat wouldn't have given her any advantage.
As she distanced herself, Rin quickly formed hand seals, and a fiery aura erupted from her mouth.
"Fire Style! Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Ninjutsu???
Fujino Daiki's pupils constricted. At this stage, any student who could use ninjutsu was undoubtedly a genius, and for her to use a C-rank jutsu like the Great Fireball was extraordinary.
"Oh no."
The Great Fireball's immense power caused Fujino Daiki to instinctively rush to intervene, but in the brief moment he hesitated, the attack was already upon them.
The orange fireball engulfed Satoru's position, exploding with flames scattering in every direction. The entire field's temperature rose, the air growing dry and scorched.
"Did it hit?"
Rin's eyes gleamed with anticipation.
Soon, the flames dissipated, and as the rising smoke cleared, no one was in sight. A cold voice came from behind her.
"Didn't I tell you, the Great Fireball can't kill?"
Behind her!
When did...?
Her pupils dilated, and Rin quickly shifted to dodge, but it was too late. A powerful shockwave hit her back, and blue electrical arcs erupted, sending her flying forward with the intense force.
Satoru flicked his hand, watching Rin crash to the ground. This battle had been a close one. Rin's strength had put a lot of pressure on him.
Fortunately, the long wind-up for the Great Fireball allowed him to use the flames to conceal his movements and strike from behind, delivering the final blow.
After all, he had taken her bow—an old saying goes, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you." Satoru didn't want to deal lethal damage, and he believed Rin wouldn't be severely hurt by this attack.
"Are you okay?"
Seeing Rin motionless on the ground, Satoru approached.
Then, something unexpected happened.
Whoosh!
Rin suddenly raised her hand, and a kunai shot straight at Satoru!
However, just a second before impact, the kunai's trajectory shifted and flew in an arc, grazing his face.
"Magnet Release! So, you've awakened a Dual Kekkei Genkai!"
On the ground, Rin's eyes flickered with a dangerous gleam.
The crowd exploded in excitement.
"Dual Kekkei Genkai? Magnet Release?"
"What is that?"
