*Chapter 38: Planning to Be a Target?*

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Facing a barrage of incoming cannon fire, Yoru and the other Kumo-nin ANBU swiftly dodged out of the way.

But while they avoided the attack, their ship wasn’t so lucky—it was instantly torn apart by the explosions.

"So their target was the ship… This just got complicated," Yoru thought, leaping back to a relatively safer spot.

Many of the cannonballs struck the water’s surface, sending massive waves c...

Chapter 21: Heather Sawyer

Roy smoothly walked over to Heather and helped her up.

"Ma'am, are you alright?"

"Thank you, I'm fine! What just happened? Why were you guys fighting?"

*Discovered special character Heather Sawyer. You can absorb the power of fate to obtain rewards!*

Wait, Sawyer?

Sawyer?

Like, the lumberjack?

A thought sparked in Roy's mind, and he guessed at some possibilities, but his expression didn't change. He still wore a sunny smile.

"I w...

Chapter 20: Conflict

After school, Roy spent some time practicing boxing at the boxing club.

Unfortunately, Oak High didn't have a shooting club, so Roy had nowhere to practice his shooting.

And even if Roy wanted the principal to start such a club, it wouldn't happen because the qualifications wouldn't be approved.

In America, only military high schools have shooting clubs; regular high schools aren't eligible.

After all, high school shootings are frequent in America. If regular hi...

Chapter 1311: Scheduling Conflict

The air was quiet.

Neither end of the phone call made a sound, allowing the silence to stretch, though the faint sound of breathing betrayed the thoughts swirling in their minds.

Finally, a voice on the other end of the line broke the silence.

“...Are you saying, thirty thousand?”

Ripley leaned forward slightly and quickly responded, “Yes, Mr. Cook. We’ve already communicated with Focus Features and hope to increa...

Chapter 102: Breaking the Age Limit

Negotiations with Google’s two founders were a letdown.

I put my best foot forward, laying out my vision for future business plans to Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Sure, one’s a tech company and the other’s in entertainment, but they’d totally complement each other—perfect synergy, right? I even pulled some strings and invited all of Google’s employees to a VIP screening of Star Wars at Twentieth Century Fox’s private theater.

But genius is genius. ...

Chapter 101: Stanford Students

After a delightful and wonderful night, Dunn was still fast asleep, cuddling Jessica’s soft body, when a flurry of urgent phone rings jolted him awake.

He was pretty sure it had to be about Star Wars: Episode I—that movie must’ve caused a huge stir. But to his surprise, it was George Paxton on the line.

George, his personal assistant, handled Dunn’s private stuff, not company business. Rubbing his eyes to shake off the grogginess, Dunn mumbled, “George, ...

Chapter 100: Reality, Fame, and Status

The thunderous applause sent a rush of excitement through the room, calming everyone’s nerves.

The crew stepped onto the stage, and George Lucas, with a warm smile, handed the mic to Dunn. It was clear that compared to the old man, Dunn was the crowd’s favorite by a mile.

“Thanks, thank you all!” Dunn started, grinning at the hundreds of faces in front of him. “Hearing your applause puts me at ease. You’ve probably noticed my take on Star Wars—the st...

Chapter 99: Will It Break Box Office Records?

The last forty minutes of the movie had me on the edge of my seat! Dunn split the film into four epic parts: the Jedi showdown, the space battle, the massive clash outside the city, and Queen Amidala’s daring escape.

Natalie’s portrayal of Queen Amidala? Absolutely crucial. She’s the glue holding all these storylines together. Dunn nailed the pacing—each scene clocks in at about three minutes, keeping things tight and exciting.

After a heart-pounding, three-minute ...

“Too fast! It’s like he turned into lightning and teleported!”

“Is this Sanada’s true strength? Unbelievable! Ishikawa can’t even keep up with the ball!”

“Sanada scores! He’s broken his opponent’s serve! The momentum is shifting!”

Inside the bus.

The excited voice of the commentator for the Kanto Junior Finals echoed continuously.

“He… scored?”

Jackal’s hand, holding the radio, trembled slightly.

“The… the vice...

*Chapter 162: Sanada Unleashes His Seal, Ishikawa's Kendo Insights (2nd Update)*

"It's over... it's really over..."

The members of Rikkai Dai's team exchanged glances, each letting out a sigh of despair.

"Fu Rin Ka Zan" (Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain)—the four ultimate techniques of their vice-captain, Sanada, had all been dismantled by this demon king from Hyotei.

At this moment, it felt as though they could already see the fate of Rikkai Dai in this match.

"Game!"

The referee finally announced, "Hyotei's Ishikawa leads 1-0...

*Chapter 161: Suppressing Sanada, A Ball That Shatters the Mountain Wall (Part 2)*

“H-how… even Vice-Captain’s Invasion of Fire was…”

On the Rikkai Dai side, the crowd that had been chanting their team’s slogans during Sanada’s aggressive play was now utterly speechless, staring in shock at the scene unfolding on the court.

Players from other teams, especially those who didn’t know much about Ishikawa, were equally stunned.

The representative from Midoriyama Middle School muttered in disbelief, “The Emperor of Tennis… is...

Chapter 820: Powerful Suppression

"Agh~"

A painful roar erupted from Roshi's mouth as his skin was being rapidly eroded by the tailed beast chakra.

At the same time, the tailed beast cloak enveloping him grew thicker and denser.

Not only that, but a tail also appeared behind him.

And as soon as this tail emerged, an oppressive aura far surpassing anything before radiated from him, filling the entire area.

Under the influence of this aura, Roshi's eyes even turned a shade more bloodshot. 2025-04-21 00:27:53 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 819: Coercion

However, this was just the beginning. After the shadow clone on the right failed its attack, Seimei's shadow clone on the left also launched its assault.

It, too, used a Water Release jutsu, which is particularly effective against Fire Release techniques.

A pillar of water suddenly formed, erupting from the depths of the lake. Before Rōshi could react, he was instantly propelled into the sky.

This wasn't some elaborate ninjutsu; it was another B-rank technique Seimei...

Chapter 202: Adam is the Sun

Hartford.

The Heather Residence.

“I just wanted a child, one child!”

A middle-aged woman, dressed in a tank top and smoking a cigarette, shouted emotionally, “But I can’t have one! What am I supposed to do?”

“That’s enough.”

On the nearby sofa, a middle-aged man slouched with his feet propped up on the coffee table. He held a can of beer and growled at the woman.

Opposite them, Heather watched calmly.

Ever since re...

*Chapter 201: The Letter*

Studying medicine is incredibly busy.

And busy days always seem to pass by quickly.

*Central Park.*

"Whoo..."

Chandler was drenched in sweat, panting heavily.

Adam and Monica walked side by side. When they turned around, they saw Chandler standing there, waving his hand to signal that he was done.

"Let's take a break," Monica suggested.

She wiped her sweat and looked at Adam, whose expression remained unchanged. She could...

Chapter 200: The F5 Group

Columbia University Medical School.

After the oath-taking ceremony, the class of 1995 officially embarked on their journey into medicine.

The most important aspect of the first year was understanding the human body.

Without a clear knowledge of human anatomy, modern medicine could not even be discussed.

Thus, anatomy was a primary focus.

Of course, before stepping into the dissection lab, students first needed to study the theory.

The professor stood...

Chapter 199: The First Lesson

Lecture Hall

The 1995 incoming class of Columbia University’s medical school gathered in the lecture hall.

“This is insane,” Iliad muttered, sitting next to Adam. He scanned the room, then whispered to Adam, “The number of good-looking people in our class is off the charts.”

Adam glanced around and nodded in agreement.

Among the handsome men, aside from those like Adam and William—who were exceptionally attractive—there were also quite a fe...

Chapter 47: Half-Asleep Chaos

Ollie was braced for me to clap back, fully on guard, but then I just grinned like an idiot. He blinked, totally lost, waving a hand in front of my face. “What’s up with you? Why’re you smiling like that?”

I didn’t answer—just shook my head hard, flinging wet droplets right at him. Ollie yelped like a banshee, dodging too late .

Now that I’d dragged him into the mess, I smirked, satisfied. After a sneaky prep in the bathroom—where Ollie’s over-the-top ...

Chapter 46: Overtime Hustle

Through the lens, Alice watched Ronan at the heart of the instruments, unintentionally stepping into the “conductor” role. Sure, he was on keyboard duty too, but until it joined the mix, he played the outsider—ears tuned to whether the other three instruments meshed perfectly.

No computer to lean on made it tough. It was all talent—rhythm, flow, musical instinct.

“…Ollie, hold up, you just jumped a quarter beat.”

“And… Cliff, you lagged a quarter b...

Chapter 45: All In

“…So, doesn’t that sound better?” Ollie swung the door open, not missing a beat, spinning right back into the mix with the band. His eager words picked up the rhythm instantly, like he was worried his quick absence might’ve stalled us.

I didn’t answer from my spot at the foot of the bed. Instead, I raised a hand for silence, tilting my head to catch Cliff and Maxim’s playing—Cliff on electric guitar, Maxim on bass. My hands hovered over the keyboard, not touchin...

Chapter 44: Candlelit Talks

For One Day Kings, hiring a pro arranger wasn’t an option—they didn’t have the cash. DIY was their only way forward.

Ollie and Maxim handled both composing and arranging, self-taught through trial and error, figuring it out bit by bit.

Now, watching Ronan sketch out an arrangement with raw inspiration and talent—rough and simple as it was—you could still feel the bones of it taking shape. For Ollie and Maxim, it was a thrill. They couldn’t wait to jump into th...

*Chapter 20: Out of Control*

The moon hung bright in a sparse sky.

Ancient trees towered into the darkness, their tangled branches stretching like skeletal arms under the cold moonlight. Even moths seemed to fear the night, desperately fluttering toward the lone campfire deep in the forest—only to be pinned to the bark by a needle-sharp senbon before they could reach the flames.

Kuriu Mari plucked the senbon from the tree, flicking the twitching moth aside.

By the fire, ...

Chapter 19: The Demon and the Monster

Momochi Zabuza gritted his teeth as the mist thickened once more.

He’d thought dealing with that woman would be quick.

Yet she’d proven unexpectedly tenacious.

Her Hidden Mist Jutsu, fueled by chakra rivaling a jōnin’s, had even given him—a master of silent assassination—trouble.

And now, she had backup: three genin.

But these weren’t ordinary genin. They could likely overpower weaker chūnin.

One mirrored his own skills—silent killing...

Chapter 18: Team 7's Fate

The Misty Battlefield

Deep in the forest, an unnatural fog swirled—thick, suffocating, expanding like a living tide.

Okamura Shin perched on a high branch, squinting at the horizon. The mist there wasn’t just dense; it was wrong, sharply demarcated from the natural haze.

"Hiding in Mist Technique," he muttered. "Hikari-sensei’s fighting someone."

Beside him, Yōma’s face darkened. As a top graduate of Kirigakure’s academy, he prided himself on stealth�...

Chapter 17: Chance Encounter

Dawn.

Light filtered through the trees, casting prismatic halos across the mist-laden forest. The lingering fog intertwined with the rainbow hues, transforming the woods into an ethereal dreamscape.

By now, Okamura Arata and Nakama Shin had finished their morning routines, while Dōzan Karin helped Hai Ruri pack up the tent.

"Aah~hn!"

Ruri crawled out of the tent, yawning widely—clearly, she hadn’t slept well.

Last night, she’d experimented until daw...
