Against The Gods With An Anime System 39 The Challlenge

Instructor Qi, who was also in cahoots with Ao Yan and Feng Yue, was trembling looking at the scene in front of him. He quickly made up his mind and said: "Uchiha Mesa, how dare you act so viciously against Feng Yue?! This was just a learning experience for new disciples, you are not fit to become a disciple at this Blue Wind Profound Palace!"

Mesa, instead of trying to protest against this just activated his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and very calmly turned his head to look instructor Qi straight in the eyes. Instructor Qi, upon seeing those eyes, started to get frightened and was shaking in fear before he heard Mesa speak to him in a most calm but dangerous voice: "Care to correct yourself?"

"N-n-n-never mind. Y-y-you are accepted." Stammered instructor Qi.

Hearing this, Mesa just gave him a friendly smile before he walked away and right past Sikong Du who stopped him.

"That was a nice fight you had there. Name is Sikong Du, nice to meet you. You have probably met my father Sikong Han at the New Moon Profound Palace." Said Sikong Du.

"That explains why that name sounded so familiar. He is a good man, your father. Name is Uchiha Mesa, nice to meet you as well. I figure there must be a reason why you stopped me." Said Mesa nonchalantly.

"Yes, originally I came here to put a stop to this unfair fight, only to arrive just too late and see you launch Feng Yue straight into that wall, which he deserved. b.a.s.t.a.r.d was just using his strength and position as Middle Palace disciple to beat up new disciples, all in the name of 'training exercises'. I'm actually glad you did that to him, maybe now he will think twice before acting so arrogantly." Said Sikong Du with a smile. Just as he was about to continue talking with Mesa, did he hear someone yelling just outside the hall.

"Out of my way!! Where is Uchiha Mesa?! Get your a.s.s of here, right now!!" yelled someone outside.

Wondering what is going on outside, Mesa and Sikong Du both step out and see the crowd split in two and two people coming forward. One of whom his entire face was bandaged, Murong Ye, and the other who was absolutely livid, Murong Yi. As those two saw Mesa standing next to Sikong Du, did the one whose face was bandaged point at Mesa.

"That's him cousin! That's the one who attacked me!" said Murong Ye with a very noticeable lisp that made it sound like he was whistling his S-sounds. Hearing his cousin, Murong Yi looked in Mesa's direction.

"So you are Uchiha Mesa?" hissed Murong Yi at him.

"Yuuup!!" said Mesa nonchalantly.

"Were you the one who hit him?" said Murong Yi.

"I sure did." Said Mesa while smiling and nodding proudly at him.

"Good." Said Murong Yi before he rushed over to Mesa and went for his throat. But before he could grab him a hand appeared right in front of Mesa, shielding him. Looking at the person who was shielding Mesa, Murong Yi was getting even more angrier.

"Sikong Du, what is the meaning of this?!" hissed Murong Yi.

"Same to you. How dare you attack a new disciple without any justification!" Said Sikong Du.

"So what if I a.s.sault him! He is the one who attacked my cousin first. This has nothing to do with you, so stay of this!" Said Murong Yi.

"I will not! I do not care what he has done to your cousin, but if you dare attack him I will not hesitate to come in between you two! I will not..." said Sikong Du and just as he wanted to continue he felt a hand on his shoulder. Looking over he saw that Mesa stopped him himself.

"Thank you brother Sikong Du for stopping this fight but I can handle this myself." Said Mesa as he looked over to Murong Yi.

"Murong Yi, that's you right? Good, good. Well about that 'me attacking your cousin' thing. Has he told you about how he tried to attack me first with a sword and that I acted in self-defense." Said Mesa as he looked at Murong Ye, who was immediate to rebuke Mesa.

"LIES!! Don't listen to him cousin! He is telling nothing but lies! He attacked me first without any provocation!" screamed Murong Ye with his lisp, while Mesa was doing his best to hold in his laughter.

"{restraining chuckle}..... Hey there buddy, feel really sorry for you there. But can you do me a favor and stop talking, please. You look and sound like a whistling mummy there and it's getting really hard to stay serious with you talking.....{restraining chuckle}" Said Mesa on the brink of laughter.

"HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME LIKE THIS!!" said Murong Ye after which Mesa just burst with laughter.

"hahahahahahahahaha...ahahahahahahaha... Oh G.o.d, oh G.o.d. Phew. Oh man, that was so funny. Haah…. Haah…. Haah. Wait just a minute, let me catch my breath. Haah…. Haah…. Haah." Said Mesa completely out of breath as the disciples that were standing around them also started snickering amongst themselves after Mesa laughed at Murong Ye's misery. Murong Yi, who at this point had enough of it was just about ready to attack before Mesa came with an offer.

(A.N.: [haah] is the sound of Mesa gasping for breath)

"Murong Yi, seeing as how you are so~ determined to exact vengeance upon me for your cousin, I suggest we hold a duel. Just you vs. me. No interference. What say you?" said Mesa.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA.... You seriously think that you stand a chance against me?! Who do you think you are?!" said Murong Yi with complete disdain.

"I think I am Uchiha Mesa, the guy who is going to kick your a.s.s in front of everyone." Said Mesa confidently.

"Fine!! I will humor you. Tell me when and where and I will be there to humiliate you in front of everyone and show you your place." Said Murong Yi.

"How about two months from now, in this very hall right behind us. What do you say?" said Mesa

"Deal!! I will be here in two months, but don't you dare run away from this. Cause if you do, I will find you, no matter where you run. And no interference, what so ever!" Said Murong Yi as he looked at both Mesa and Sikong Du before he and Murong Ye turned around and left.

Just as Mesa wanted to leave as well, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Looking back, he saw Sikong Du looking at him looking a bit worried.

"Are you really sure about this? Murong Yi is an inner palace disciple; he ranks among the top 100 disciples of the entire Blue Wind Profound Palace. We can still put a stop to this fight if you want, just say the word and I'll make sure this fight is cancelled."

"Don't worry about it. I can handle him. And besides, I'm always in for a nice duel. Whether it's Murong Yi or someone else." Said Mesa in a relaxed tone.

"Well, I can see that you have made up your mind. In which case, let me talk to Vice-Palace Chief Qin Wushang. Maybe you can be temporarily allowed into the inner palace to train for your duel against Murong Yi." Said Sikong Du.

"Thank you for everything. Don't worry, everything is gonna be just fine..... Ah, I see that I am needed somewhere else. Excuse me brother Sikong Du, but I must get going. We'll speak some other time." Said Mesa as he saw Cang Yue appear in the crowd and he walked up to her.

"What is going on here?" asked Cang Yue.

"Ahhh, you sure have missed a h.e.l.l of a morning here. Let me fill you in." said Mesa as he told Cang Yue everything that happened that morning from the strength a.s.sessment test to Murong Yi challenging him.

"Sigh…. You sure a habit of getting into trouble, don't you?" said Cang Yue with a sigh.

"Yeah…. I kinda do. But more importantly. We haven't had any breakfast this morning, so let's eat." Said Mesa as he took out lunchbox to which stars appeared in Cang Yue's eyes.

And so a week had gone by. Qin Wushang, the Vice Palace Chief, had approached Mesa and offered him a place in the inner palace in order to train for his upcoming duel with Murong Yi. Apparently he had been watching from the very beginning and was quite surprised at Mesa challenging Murong Yi to a duel. He also told Mesa that he would setup the duel for them.

During this week, Mesa had not once set foot in the inner palace to train. The only reason he came there was to relax and to hang out with Cang Yue, who herself knew how strong Mesa was and thus wasn't worried at all about his safety. During this week, Mesa and Cang Yue had grown much closer to each other. Every day they would hang out with each other from early mornings to the early evening and every day Mesa would make something for them to eat, which Cang Yue would greedily devour and he would always give her a lunchbox to take home to her dad, who would also greedily devour his food. It has become such a staple, that Cang Yue basically stopped eating at home and only ate Mesa's food. Even her father would barely eat during the day, just so that he can eat more of Mesa's food when Cang Yue would come home. Cang Yue also noticed how her father would always feel much better after he ate Mesa's food. He would always have more energy and a healthier color to his face instead of the sickly pale color he had before. One day, Mesa decided to change things up a bit and decided to take Cang Yue out for a picnic.

"Hey Cang Yue, what do say we go for a picnic. I have seen this big open gra.s.sland outside the city, a few dozen miles south. Let's go there, just the two of us. What do you say?" said Mesa to Cang Yue who was sitting practically against him. After she heard Mesa, she immediately started blushing and looking away before answering him in a tiny voice.

"How would we get there? If someone saw us, they can tell my brothers and then you can get a lot of trouble." Said Cang Yue.

"Ohh, don't worry about that. I'll handle that. I know of a way for us to get there instantly and come back just as fast." said Mesa.

"How than?" asked Cang Yue.

"Just hold on to my hand and you will see." Said Mesa as he held out his hand for Cang Yue. After hesitating for a few seconds, Cang Yue held on to his hand. Giving her a smile, they both disappear from that spot and appear in the gra.s.slands. Cang Yue was completely confused at this turn of event and started to panic before Mesa calmed her down.

"Calm down, calm down. We're at the gra.s.slands that I told you about a second ago, remember? I told you that I had a way of getting us here instantly, didn't I. Well, I just teleported us both here." Said Mesa to Cang Yue's astonishment.

"You can teleport?! How?! What?! Just….. What?!" stammered Cang Yue.

"Let me start from the beginning. I have a technique called the Flying Thunder G.o.d Technique. It allows me to instantly teleport towards places that I marked with this teleportation formula. Promise me that you won't tell anyone about this! I anyone dangerous finds out, they will come after me and worse, maybe after you. So promise me you will keep it a secret between the two of us (four of us). In the future, I will be strong enough to protect you and me from these people but in the meantime, please keep it to yourself." Said Mesa as he showed Cang Yue a Flying Raijin Jutsu kunai.

"Yes, I swear I won't tell anyone about this. You can count on me. And besides you have also kept my secret that I am the Blue Wind princess a secret so I should keep your secret as well. So if you can teleport. Then why didn't you teleport here immediately after you left the Phoenix Trial grounds. Why did it take you a week before you got here?" asked Cang Yue.

"Because I have never been here before. I can only teleport to places that I have visited before and marked. If I go to a place and I don't mark it, then I can't teleport to it. Do you understand? On my way to the Blue Wind Imperial City, I came across this gra.s.sland and decided to place a marking here, because it's such a beautiful place. And today I decided to use it to take the two of us here for a picnic. So just calm down, relax and let us enjoy the picnic. And don't worry you will be home on time to bring your father dinner." Said Mesa.

"Good, because he hardly eats anything anymore, except your food. Which begs the question. Why does your food always make my father feel so energetic every time he eats it?" asked Cang Yue.

"Because I heard about the emperor being sick and bedridden. So I especially make your fathers food to give him an extra energy boost and make him feel better. It won't cure his disease, but it will make him feel better." Said Mesa.
