Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Dinner Gathering and Accident
「Satoru, think about it again! Won't you really tell me the secret of fair skin?」
Hyuga Satoru covered his face with a helpless expression. Beside him, Anko grabbed his arm and kept acting all coquettishly, asking him to share the secret of fair skin with her.
「I've already said it many times. I really don't have any secret of fair skin.」
He was already at a loss for words and could only repeat the words he had said many times before.
Is the temptation of fair skin really that great for girls? Since he came this morning, Anko has pestered him for two classes. No matter how much he explained, Anko just wouldn't believe him.
「How could you not have a secret of fair skin? It's only been a few days of vacation, and you've become so much fairer. You look like a whole new person.」
Jealousy reeked from Anko's tone, with a hint of gritting her teeth, as if she could devour Hyuga Satoru alive.
Sigh! The boring jealousy of women.
Hyuga Satoru shook his head helplessly.
Hyuga Satoru muttered to himself. After the Electromagnetic Force upgraded and transformed his body, it was true that he had become more handsome. But why did it bring about the effect of fairer skin?
Since this morning, he has heard people whispering that he was a kept boy more than once. Because he had gotten close to Rin Uchiha recently, it seemed that even her reputation had changed somewhat.
Hyuga Satoru glanced at Anko and mercilessly crushed her fantasy: 「I said, stop thinking about fair skin.」
Anko looked at him eagerly and said, 「Why?」
「Why not awaken Magnetic Release first?」
Anko:???
What does Magnetic Release have to do with this?
Just then, Fujino Daikichi walked in, carrying a textbook. Anko had no choice but to give up the idea of asking more questions.
This class was about the theoretical knowledge of Three Body Techniques. Although it didn't have much use for Hyuga Satoru, it had to be said that for most of the other civilian students, this was the only way for them to acquire knowledge.
Because of the Life Magnetic Force Field, despite staying up late to catch up on his cultivation last night, Hyuga Satoru didn't feel too tired and was still full of energy.
Bored, he seriously flipped through the textbook.
When Fujino Daikichi saw this scene, he was almost on the verge of tears. Sure enough, my class still has some attraction! You finally didn't doze off in class.
Fujino Daikichi couldn't remember how long it had been since he last saw Hyuga Satoru wide awake in class. He suddenly felt extremely touched.
After school, Hyuga Satoru, Rin Uchiha, and Anko made an arrangement to go to Ichiraku Ramen Shop. During this period, Rin Uchiha and Hyuga Satoru had been in frequent contact, and by extension, Anko had also gotten to know Rin Uchiha well.
At this time, Uncle Teuchi of Ichiraku Ramen was still very young. His daughter, Ayame, was not much older than Hyuga Satoru. She was wearing all-white clothes and was bustling around in the back kitchen.
Rin Uchiha casually found a seat and sat down. She raised an eyebrow and said calmly.
「It's on me.」
As soon as she finished speaking, Anko hesitated for a moment and said, 「Well, Rin, I think it would be better if we pay for ourselves.」
After all, they hadn't known each other for very long. Anko was a bit hesitant to let someone else pay for the first dinner gathering.
「Anko, since she wants to treat, just let her. Rin isn't short of money.」
Hyuga Satoru immediately stepped in to smooth things over. He knew Rin Uchiha very well. She wasn't short of money, but she was rather proud.
「Well... then thanks, Rin.」
Since things have reached this stage, Anko naturally didn't continue to insist. She gave Rin Uchiha a faint smile. She never expected that Rin, who usually seemed quite cold in class, was actually a warm-hearted person. She thought to herself.
Rin Uchiha nodded as a reply.
Soon, Uncle Teuchi brought several bowls of ramen and placed them on the table, smiling at the group.
"Enjoy your meal."
"Thank you."
Rin Uchiha had ordered a bowl of clear soup ramen. She didn't like food with too strong flavors. And to be honest, if Satoru Hyuga hadn't suggested it, she wouldn't usually eat ramen.
She took a small mouthful of noodles and put them into her mouth, chewing them carefully. Then she took a sip of the clear soup, and the delicious taste spread in her mouth.
Rin Uchiha closed her eyes slightly and secretly praised in her heart: It's much better than I expected.
She looked at Anko's position. Anko had ordered a bowl of tonkotsu ramen, which looked quite tempting. She was using chopsticks to pick up the thin noodles bit by bit, slowly putting them into her mouth and chewing in small mouthfuls. While savoring the delicious food, she also maintained a rather refined manner.
Rin Uchiha nodded slightly to herself, and her good impression of Anko increased a bit.
Then she looked at Satoru Hyuga's position. Suddenly, her eyelids twitched a few times. Satoru Hyuga was hugging the noodle bowl and gobbling it up. He didn't use chopsticks to pick up the noodles, but instead wound the noodles into a big ball with chopsticks and then stuffed it into his mouth in one go. Next to him, there was already a towering stack of bowls.
One... two... seven...
The number was still increasing.
"Boss, another bowl!"
Sucking in the noodles at the corner of his mouth, Satoru Hyuga raised his hand and shouted indistinctly.
Anko also stopped and stared blankly at this scene. The towering stack of bowls resembled a monument, documenting the fierceness of the "battle situation".
"Satoru... you... do all of you Hyuga clan eat this much?" Anko stuttered.
"More or less," Satoru Hyuga thought for a while and swallowed the noodles in his mouth. "Because the Hyuga clan members need to support the Byakugan bloodline, their appetites are much larger than others."
"But this is too exaggerated..." Anko didn't know how to respond.
There was another reason that Satoru Hyuga didn't mention. The strong Life Magnetic Field in his body was constantly stimulating the vigorous life activities of his body. It also increased his energy consumption and greatly increased his appetite.
With these two reasons combined, it was as if a hungry beast had awakened in his body just after he ate one bowl of ramen, roaring crazily.
Rin Uchiha had a terrible headache. She roughly estimated the money she had with her. She might end up making a big fool of herself this time. Although she wasn't short of money, it didn't mean she would carry a large amount of money with her. Just enough was fine. But who could have expected that Satoru Hyuga could eat so much...
"Damn guy..."
Looking at Satoru Hyuga who was still gobbling up, Rin Uchiha clenched her teeth slightly.
"Welcome to come again next time!"
Teuchi and Ayame bowed deeply to the three people who were leaving, with cheerful smiles spreading across their faces.
What a generous customer. The consumption of just these three people was already equivalent to the total consumption for the whole day today. Especially that boy, he really loves ramen!
Teuchi was happily thinking in his heart that it was really an honor to have such a customer.
Rin Uchiha's expression turned quite unsightly. She gritted her teeth slightly and glared at Hyuga Satoru, who was walking at the front, sporting a big belly and burping with great satisfaction.
So close! she thought to herself.
Fortunately, she had brought a bit more money with her when she went out today. Otherwise, she would have made a complete fool of herself!
After thinking for a while, Rin Uchiha still felt indignant. She stepped forward, ready to give Hyuga Satoru a good scolding. Just as she reached out to grab Hyuga Satoru's arm, the latter suddenly grabbed her wrist in a reverse motion and turned around to look at her seriously.
"Wait a minute."
Rin Uchiha had never seen Hyuga Satoru look so serious before and was immediately taken aback.
She followed Hyuga Satoru's gaze and saw a convenience store. Several customers were whispering among themselves, wearing disgusted expressions on their faces.
"Hey, did you hear? White Fang abandoned the mission and caused huge losses to the village."
"Yeah, I heard it was for a comrade?"
"Humph! He abandoned such an important mission for a comrade. We all used to think he was a hero of the village!"
"You're right!"
White Fang?
Rin Uchiha was taken aback. Isn't that Kakashi Hatake's father?
