Chapter 108: Soaring Proficiency

Academy Teacher, I Get Stronger Just by Teaching – Chapter 25: Soaring Proficiency. Just now, Kakashi happened to be shopping nearby and saw this scene, but by the time he arrived, Might Guy was already kneeling on the ground. Kakashi was about to step in when Might Guy suddenly burst forth and instantly took down the two men.

Kakashi couldn't quite understand the power Might Guy had just erupted with. Now he truly believed what his father had said before—Might Guy would indeed become his rival, even surpass him.

"Of course, because I'm the hardworking genius recognized by Teacher Muyue!" Might Guy gave a thumbs up with an extremely bright smile, his two rows of gleaming white teeth especially eye-catching.

After saying that, Might Guy couldn't control himself and collapsed backward. The eruption had exhausted him.

Kakashi quickly caught Might Guy.

"Next time, make sure you save enough strength to walk home, or your father will worry about you." Kakashi hoisted Might Guy onto his back and started walking toward Might Guy's house.

"Haha, that's what best friends are for, right?" Might Guy laughed loudly.

"I'm not always going to be around at the right time." Kakashi said speechlessly.

After sending Might Guy to his doorstep and watching him be taken inside by Might Duy, Kakashi finally turned and left.

Today's Might Guy had really surprised him.

Even now, Kakashi couldn't figure out how Might Guy's last two kicks suddenly erupted with such power; he should have been completely out of strength.

"Hatake, Teacher said we have a mission tomorrow. Don't be late."

On his way home, Kakashi ran into two teammates who had come looking for him.

"Mm." Kakashi nodded curtly, said nothing, and walked straight toward his house.

"So cold. Anyone would think he owes them a ton of money," one teammate couldn't help complaining.

"Doesn't come to group training either, never practices teamwork, but he's pretty quick to show up for missions."

"Hey, he's a genius ninja. Let it go."

…

Even though his body was exhausted, Might Guy still went to Muyue's place after dinner.

He went every day; if he suddenly stopped, Might Guy felt Muyue might worry about him. Plus, he needed to report on the Breathing Technique.

"Teacher Muyue, during my fight just now, I suddenly entered a state where my power and speed increased, and even my tired legs were filled with strength again." Might Guy told Muyue about what happened that afternoon.

But he tried to make the fight sound easy, not mentioning that he ended up too exhausted to walk.

Muyue immediately opened Appraisal to check Might Guy's Breathing Technique proficiency.

Skill: Rock Breathing

Muyue was shocked. Yesterday Might Guy's proficiency was zero, and today it had suddenly jumped by seventeen.

What did that mean? Yesterday Obito had the highest proficiency at six points, and Might Guy had gone from zero to seventeen—almost three times Obito's.

Analyzing based on Might Guy's explanation, Muyue felt that the situation had been critical, and Might Guy was very suited to training Rock Breathing. At that moment, his mindset also aligned with Rock Breathing, so his potential was unleashed. He instantly comprehended everything Muyue had taught him before, causing his proficiency to skyrocket.

"Don't train today. Just sit and watch Obito and the others practice." Muyue said.

Might Guy didn't push himself and nodded.

While teaching Obito and Shisui, Muyue directly shared the good news with them.

"Now Guy's Breathing Technique progress is number one. He can already use the Breathing Technique to enhance himself." Muyue said.

"Huh? Yesterday he didn't even have a feel for the energy. How can he improve so much in one day?" Obito said in surprise.

He was training in the Breathing Technique himself and knew how hard it was. Moreover, according to Muyue, Might Guy's Rock Breathing was even harder than their Flame Breathing. Obito couldn't understand how Might Guy had made such rapid progress in a single day.

He felt like Might Guy was cheating.

"Train hard, and you'll have your breakthrough too." Muyue said with a smile.

Obito had decent talent for Flame Breathing. If Might Guy hadn't had this sudden insight, Obito would have likely stayed ahead in the Breathing Technique.

In fact, Muyue even thought that in the end, Obito would be the first to achieve initial mastery of the Breathing Technique.

Opportunities for insight don't come every day. Given the difficulty of Rock Breathing, Might Guy could only increase his proficiency through day after day of hard training.

But it was already better than at the very beginning; making the breakthrough from zero was very important.

Learning about Might Guy's rapid progress, Obito suddenly felt immense pressure. With today almost over, there were only two days left until the final test.

He originally thought his top-two spot was secure, but now it looks very unstable.

"Immortal Muyue, bless me to also make rapid progress." Obito clasped his hands together and prayed in his heart.

"Wrong posture!" Muyue pulled apart Obito's clasped hands.

The prayer was personally disrupted by Immortal Muyue.

Having failed in his prayer, Obito could only return to training, continuously practicing different breathing patterns and feeling the subtle changes in his body.

On Thursday, Muyue was still teaching normally.

However, because the special training was about to end, Muyue would give the students some encouragement at the start of each class.

The special training was almost over, and the improvement reward had not been triggered yet. Muyue felt the students could put in more effort for the last two days.

At this point, most of the training goals that Muyue had set had been achieved.

Members of Group A, except for a few new members, had basically completed the training of the Body Flicker Technique. Whether they could use it well was another matter—it depended on the individual—but they had indeed all learned it.

Members of Group B had basically completed the exercises of tree climbing and water walking. Everyone's chakra control ability had greatly improved, and their level of the Three Basic Techniques had also made significant progress.

If counting only the original Group B members, the average score for ninjutsu had increased from about seven points to over nine points.

Those outstanding students from the lower grades had also improved rapidly during these five weeks of special training. Once school started, they would definitely surprise their classmates.

"Only two days left, everyone. Make good use of your time to train. The day after tomorrow, the Third Hokage will come to watch the practical test. Let him see the results of your efforts." Muyue continued to encourage them.

"Finally, the time to truly make a name for ourselves has arrived." Kotetsu and Izumo exchanged glances and began to study their ninjutsu further to better show off their skills.

"If I do well on the test, do I get dango?" Anko just wanted to be rewarded with dango by Muyue.

"I really don't know what's so great about some old geezer coming." Asuma said with a displeased expression.

Among the three hundred-plus students, there might be some who weren't interested in the Third, but Asuma was probably the only one who was displeased with him.

"The Third Hokage..." Shisui recalled the history that Muyue had taught earlier.

I had a bit of writer's block, so I'm a little late.
