Chapter 63: "I Knew You'd Agree!"

Sasuke opened his system panel.

*Current System Points: 50.*

Earlier, Konohamaru and Ebisu contributed a total of 38 system points, nearly rivaling the point accumulation speed at the Ninja Academy.

*Add points.*

Sasuke immediately allocated 40 points to his Ninja Attribute.

*Ninja Attribute: Grade C (200/300).*

*Current System Points: 10.*

A faint smile appeared on Sasuke's lips. If he could gather over 100 system points today, he might be able to upgrade his Ninja Attribute to Grade B before school ended.

Then, learning the Flying Thunder God technique tonight would yield some tangible results.

---

Sasuke soon returned to the Ninja Academy. Based on the time, he was two hours late.

*Knock, knock...*

Standing at the classroom door, Sasuke lightly knocked, then pushed the door open and stepped inside.

*Whoosh!*

In an instant, all eyes in the classroom focused on Sasuke.

"Sasuke, find a seat and review your material; it's self-study time right now," Iruka said, nodding at Sasuke. He had already been informed by Kotetsu and Izumo that Sasuke had been called by the Third Hokage.

"Understood," Sasuke replied, scanning the classroom.

Immediately, his eyes landed on the blonde-haired, orange-clad Naruto.

Naruto sat in the middle row, flanked by Sakura on his left and Ino on his right. In front of him were several unnamed girls, while Hinata sat behind him. Naruto was completely surrounded.

*Same old trick!*

Sasuke instantly recognized the situation. From Naruto's expression, it was clear that he was enduring the situation with a mix of pain and delight.

"Sasuke, sit next to me!" Sakura scooted closer to Naruto, making room for Sasuke.

"Over here, Sasuke!" Ino waved enthusiastically.

"You can sit here, Sasuke-kun!"

"Sit by me, Sasuke!"

The other girls also chimed in, each with eyes brimming with anticipation. They all wanted to get closer to Sasuke.

---

Born into a noble clan.

A prodigy with a tragic past.

Good-looking and talented.

Orphaned yet strong.

Sasuke checked every box of the ideal "dream partner." If not for the icy aura of aloofness he carried, the girls would have practically devoured him whole.

"Everyone, keep studying. Don’t mind me," Sasuke said, feeling a little overwhelmed by the attention. Having too many admirers was genuinely exhausting.

With quickened steps, he headed toward the back of the classroom. But the last three rows were completely occupied.

The only available seats were in the front row—the lion’s den dominated by the girls.

The boys in the last three rows all kept their heads down, avoiding Sasuke’s gaze.

They knew full well that offering Sasuke a seat would mean sitting near the girls. And that would invite their wrath!

*Too risky!*

Reaching the back, Sasuke spotted Kiba, the only familiar face. But Kiba didn’t even glance at him.

"Being ordinary is hard..." Sasuke muttered softly. Carrying his bag, he decided to mimic a classic anime move. He leapt up and perched on the windowsill at the back of the classroom.

*+5*

Placing his bag on the ground, Sasuke pulled out a review book and began reading.

"Everyone, continue studying," Sasuke said, focusing entirely on the book. Sunlight streamed through the window, highlighting his sharp features and making him look even more striking.

*+5*

The numbers in Sasuke's vision jumped again.

---

*"So handsome!"*

*"Too cool!"*

*"I can’t take this!"*

*"Sasuke-kun!"*

The girls' eyes turned heart-shaped as they gazed at him, their expressions filled with admiration. They seemed ready to transform into the windowsill just to be closer to him.

Sasuke ignored the attention. A little showing off could be thrilling, but he quickly immersed himself in studying.

---

As time passed, morning gave way to lunchtime.

Feeling mentally drained, Sasuke’s mind grew foggy. Over the past few days, his understanding of the system had deepened.

To increase attributes like Spirit and Body, corresponding actions were required.

For example:

- Practicing or using ninjutsu and consuming chakra to its limit would grant 1 point to Spirit.

- Training to physical exhaustion would increase Body attributes.

However, if Sasuke wore himself out from activities like studying or staying up late, the system wouldn’t reward any points. Only purposeful actions counted.

Thus, he added 1 system point to his Spirit Attribute.

*Buzz!*

A cool sensation washed over him, clearing his mind.

*Spirit Attribute: Grade D (43/200).*

*Current System Points: 19.*

---

"Sasuke!" Naruto’s voice rang out. He ran over, a faint floral scent trailing behind him.

"Let’s go grab some ramen!" Naruto invited cheerfully, already salivating at the thought.

"I think I’ll pass," Sasuke replied calmly. One more point in his Body Attribute could stave off hunger, allowing him to train uninterrupted.

"Come on, you’ve done so much for me! Let me treat you today!" Naruto insisted, undeterred by Sasuke’s initial refusal.

"Alright then," Sasuke finally agreed, glancing deeply at Naruto. Relationships required maintenance, after all.

Of course, this wasn’t because Naruto was treating!

*"I knew you’d agree!"* Naruto grinned widely, practically glowing with happiness.

---

Sasuke leapt from the windowsill, grabbing his bag mid-air and slipping his book inside with fluid precision. His movements were so seamless that they seemed rehearsed.

Landing gracefully, his dark hair swayed as the classroom erupted in excited gasps from the girls.

*+5*

Watching the numbers increase again, Sasuke came to a realization.

*It’s not about showing off—it’s about looking cool. Acting Cool is the show!*
