Naruto was getting a bad vibe from Gauch. Somehow he feels that it was not like the last Gauch he has seen.

"Start!"

The referee shouted for beginning the match.

But both Naruto and Gauch were standing still on the stage. They were not moving from the place there are standing.

For the onlooker, it seems like they were testing each other. Those who move fast may not get the upper hand.

But its difference from what they were thinking. Naruto doesn't want to move because he wanted to see what Gauch got in his pocket. And Gauch didn't move because he was too proud to do that.

It was already past 30 seconds they were standing like that. The time for a match is 10 minutes. If a player cannot beat each other in the 10 minutes, then the match will be called a draw. And which will be disadvantaged for the highest ranking player because they will get only nine marks where lower ranking players will get eleven marks.

So many times it has been the case that the highest ranking player was the one who attacked first.

When one minute past, the onlookers except for Leo White group, Ikuse and Valentica started to boo.

Naruto lost his calm and said,

"Alright, if you want to play like that, let me also play like me."

Naruto crossed his one hand's two fingers with another hand's two fingers.

"Shadow clone jutsu."

Another Naruto was created beside him.

"What-what is that? Is that illusion magic or doppelganger magic?"

The peanut gallery was surprised to see Naruto's Shadow clone jutsu. Even the referee began to frown to see the doppelganger magic. An ordinary magician never can use doppelganger magic. It's high-level magic which at least 9th level magic. It must be an illusion or something else.

Back to the match. The clone of Naruto Uzumaki ran towards Gauch and with his fist, he tried to punch him.

But Gauch caught his fist with one hand and move that from his view after that he delivered a punch with his other hand.

Naruto never expected that would happen because the past Gauch was a lot weaker to do that. He's surprised, let the punched buried on his nose.

Naruto was stepped back several times. Not only he became vigilant, but also became so strong all on a sudden.

''That bastard how he became that much stronger physically? The other day, I had pinned him so easily he couldn't even move a finger."

The real body of Naruto muttered.

''Well then, how about more.''

Saying that Naruto created another 4 Shadow Clone.

Dashing toward him one of the shadow clones throws a kick targeting Gauch temple. But he blocked that with his wrist. Another one tries to elbow on his stomach that was also blocked by his knee.

But from the behind, one of Naruto's clones grab his body and concealed his movement. And remaining two Naruto clones attack him with giant Rasengan.

Gauch engulfed into the vortex of giant Rasengan. After the attack of giant Rasengan faded, the tattered clothes Gauch can be seen covered in the bloody wounds. He has already fallen.

''That Naruto is really strong, that magic ordinary human cannot execute.''

Xavier commented.

''Yeah, at first it looked like Gauch got the upper hand, but in the end, he turned the table with his doppelganger magic.''

Rita Khan said.

''But you are overlooking something.''

Leo said with crossing his arms. Everyone looking at him to get the meaning of what he has said just now.

''Didn't you guys noticed? Gauch yet to use any magic. I am wondering about why he didn't use any magic if he used magic he wouldn't have defeated like this.''

''Look that guy is standing.''

One of the onlookers commented. Leo White group's shockingly look at the stage.

They were shocked because past Gauch never could withstand the attack of this caliber. He wouldn't able to move his finger, let alone standing again.

''What the heck is going on? Did he get some strength boost that we don't know about?''

Shirin Shura asked.

''Its look like he has. Remember clearly, he didn't interact with us after class started at this academy. So I think he was doing some secret training while hiding from us.''

Leo White said.

''I don't understand, what good will bring to him hiding his training from us?''

Shirin Shura asked with a frown. Not only her but everyone also thinking about the same thing.

''I don't know, ask him.''

Leo White shrugged his shoulder. Though Gauch was an arrogant guy, he never hides things from them. Instead, he proudly announced what he has got.

"Ha-ha-ha, I thought I will kill you without using my ultimate secret power. But congratulation Naruto Uzumaki you are strong enough to see my ultimate strength."

Saying that he looked at Naruto with bloody eyes.

''Let me show you now, the strength of a man who will surpass the boundary of human, and shall become a Dragon among men."

When he finished that a black type of mist started to dwell around him. From his mouth and nose breath of black mist came out.

In his eyes, there was no pupil, and his white parts of the eyes turning into crimson red.

"What the? What is happening?"

The referee shouted.

Because the whole arena was filled with black mist. This black mist was sinister, so evil and harmful by just skin it.

The amount of magic power dormant into Gauch increased by several folds. Which surpassed even the spear goddess.

***

The principal Riser White sense sinister familiar mana.

"This mana... It is coming from our academy, how is it possible? Why is a devil residing in our academy?"

He knew this mana. This is the Dark mana of a devil. 200 years ago, he last saw a devil.

That time gathering everyone's strength of around the world they were successful to defeat that devil.

Though this devil is far weaker than the devil they have sealed, in the end, a devil is a devil.

He stood up and fight for the place where he can sense it.

He saw Naruto Uzumaki was confronting the devil.

"Wait, this is not a devil. It's the boy of the Nepolia Royal family. How the heaven, he is showing the power of a real devil?"

Riser white showed an astonishing face.
