"Chen Zi, are you sure you're character logged in as human? How come you have a tail?" Yue Yang teased Jiang Chen at the entrance of the Dimensional Center, his curiosity piqued by the swaying appendage. "And why does it seem… familiar? I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

"I am human!" Jiang Chen retorted, clearly exasperated. "Did you even pay attention in basic classes? Humanity across countless dimensions isn't limited to just our kind. What's a tail compared to some having multiple heads?"

"Hahaha!" Yue Yang laughed awkwardly, scratching his head. "I totally forgot about that for a second."

To be honest, Yue Yang's grasp of the basics was shaky at best. If Jiang Chen hadn't reminded him, the idea of other human forms wouldn't have even crossed his mind.

With the topic shifted, Yue Yang forgot about the tail's familiarity and excitedly recounted his login experience. 

Compared to Jiang Chen, Yue Yang's adventures in the 'One Piece' world were far more mundane. He'd hung out with Luffy and his brothers, occasionally clashing with pirates, thugs, and troublemakers. The most dangerous incident was the fire at the Grey Terminal.

This paled in comparison to Jiang Chen's harrowing experiences – witnessing the destruction of Planet Vegeta and being hunted by Frieza's army.

Jiang Chen didn't interrupt Yue Yang's enthusiasm. They chatted as they made their way towards the classroom.

As they approached the classroom door, a sharp voice cut through the air. "Jiang Chen, stop right there!"

The sudden outburst halted their steps and drew the attention of those nearby. 

"Liu Qingxia, what the hell are you yapping for?" Yue Yang turned, his brows furrowed in frustration as he looked at the girl who had called out. 

"Jiang Chen, you jerk! Admit it – you're mad because I've been spending time with Wang Tingfeng. I told you, we're just ordinary friends!" Liu Qingxia ignored Yue Yang completely, her gaze fixed on Jiang Chen. Her face was a mixture of anger and disappointment as she spoke. "I didn't expect this from you!"

"Liu Qingxia, I have no idea what you're talking about," Jiang Chen replied, turning to face her with a frown. "First of all, whatever's going on between you and Wang Tingfeng is none of my business. Secondly, what exactly are you accusing me of? I don't recall doing anything wrong."

Jiang Chen was baffled. He hadn't expected her to confront him like this.

"What did you do?" Liu Qingxia's voice rose, her anger intensifying. "Jiang Chen, don't you dare deny it! You gave me false information, and because of you, I failed my mainline mission. Do you even know what that means?"

Her voice cracked slightly, and her expression turned both furious and deeply aggrieved. "Return my academy placement!"

Liu Qingxia's frustration was palpable. She had done nothing wrong yet felt unfairly targeted. It had to be because she'd refused Jiang Chen's request. Why else would he do this to her?

Tears welled up in Liu Qingxia's eyes, threatening to spill over. Her appearance immediately attracted the murmurs and stares of those around her. Amidst the whispers, a figure suddenly stepped forward.

"Jiang Chen, you're such a bastard!"

"You actually sabotaged Liu Qingxia. Are you even human?" A young man with bleached hair, Xie Xuanhao, spoke out in anger. 

"Xie Xuanhao, this has nothing to do with you," Jiang Chen replied coldly, his gaze shifting to the blonde boy.

"Hmph, maybe it doesn't. But I can't stand watching you bully a classmate. What? You got a problem with that?"

With a roar, an aura of wild energy erupted from Xie Xuanhao's body. His muscles swelled rapidly, and a beast-like aura emanated from him. Then, without hesitation, he lunged at Jiang Chen, his massive frame hurtling forward like a cannonball.

Having been humiliated by Jiang Chen before, Xie Xuanhao was desperate to reclaim his dignity. After completing his mainline mission and advancing to the first tier, he felt confident he could finally put Jiang Chen in his place. But his confidence didn't last long.

The moment he closed in, a crushing force struck his chest. It felt as though he had been hit by a freight train.

"Boom!"

Under the shocked gazes of onlookers, Xie Xuanhao's towering body was sent flying like a ragdoll, crashing into the ground over a hundred meters away before coming to a halt.

"Gulp."

The sound of someone swallowing nervously broke the silence. All eyes turned to Jiang Chen, their gazes filled with disbelief and awe.

Jiang Chen, however, paid no attention to the stunned crowd. Step by step, he walked toward Liu Qingxia.

"Thud."

"Thud-thud."

Liu Qingxia instinctively stepped back, her body trembling as Jiang Chen approached. 

"W-what are you doing?" she stammered, her voice shaking with fear.

Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks, his expression cold as he spoke in a low voice: "Liu Qingxia, let me say this one more time. Who you are and what you do has nothing to do with me. Please stop bothering me."

"As for the incident, I did not sabotage you, nor did I have any reason to. You should know how valuable a login spot for the Ninja Village world is. If I wanted, I could've exchanged it for hundreds of thousands of Star Coins."

"Tell me, what makes you think I would waste my time sabotaging you? Do you even deserve it?"

His words, calm yet sharp, struck Liu Qingxia like a hammer. Despite the lack of any threatening aura, she felt her entire body trembling. Humiliation and shame surged within her, as Jiang Chen had shown her no mercy.

"You…" Liu Qingxia tried to respond, her voice shaky. "Jiang Chen, you must give me an explanation. You ruined me."

"You told me that Hidden Cloud Village would be the strongest ninja village after the 48th year of Konoha. But when I logged in, I died almost immediately. Don't you dare say this has nothing to do with you!"

Liu Qingxia's body trembled, but her unwillingness burned within. Her voice quivered with anger as she spoke: "You… You must give me an explanation!"

Jiang Chen sneered coldly. "An explanation? Very well, I'll give you one."

"Boom!"

Liu Qingxia's eyes widened in shock as her body was sent flying through the air.

The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned. Many gaped in disbelief, and Yue Yang stood frozen, his mouth agape.

Jiang Chen took slow, deliberate steps toward her. Not far away, Liu Qingxia struggled to her feet, her face etched with fear. She instinctively retreated, her trembling voice breaking the silence: "W-what are you doing? This is a school!"

Her body quaked as she backed away, every bone in her body aching from Jiang Chen's strike. Though he hadn't used his full power, the impact had been enough to shake her to the core.

Her mind raced, filled with confusion, disbelief, and terror.

"An explanation, you say?" Jiang Chen's voice was cold and piercing. "How about this for an explanation: stop treating everyone like fools."

"From today onward, stay out of my sight. If you cross my path again, I can't guarantee I'll hold back next time."

With that, he turned and walked away, heading toward the classroom without another glance.

As Jiang Chen left, murmurs filled the air. The crowd began to talk amongst themselves, casting accusatory glances at Liu Qingxia. At first, they had been unsure of what had happened, but Jiang Chen's words had made everything clear. Realizing the truth, their attitude toward Liu Qingxia shifted noticeably.

Liu Qingxia stood there, her face burning with humiliation. The weight of the crowd's judgment was almost unbearable.

Amidst the crowd, a pair of sharp eyes observed everything. Luo Qingzhu, who had originally come to reorganize the class rosters, hadn't expected to witness such a scene. Still, she didn't think much of it— youthful tempers and impulsiveness were common, as long as the situation remained under control.

However, what caught her attention wasn't the confrontation itself but rather Jiang Chen's tail, swaying behind him. Her pupils narrowed instantly.

Author's Note:

This concludes the scene. There won't be further conflicts between peers as it doesn't contribute positively to the story. Regarding power levels: whether it's 15,000 or 50,000 in Dragon Ball, reaching the Seventh Tier is impossible. In my settings, the Seventh Tier represents a qualitative leap, where combat power exceeds a Billion. For comparison:

Tiers 1-3 are relatively weak, with combat power under 120.

The Naruto World power is around super Kage-level at best.

Tiers 4-6 range from 120 to just below a Billion.

Tier 7 surpasses a Billion and represents top-tier existence.
