Chapter 65: Who is the serious person reviewing (seeking follow-up reading)

On Monday, since it was already the day of the exams, Kotetsu Hagane didn’t go to Ninja Academy too early.

He had been reviewing for two weeks, so he didn’t need to scramble for those extra ten or twenty minutes in the morning.

On the way, Kotetsu Hagane encountered Izumo Kamizuki, who was also heading to school.

“Izumo, good morning!” Kotetsu Hagane greeted with a bright smile.

“Good morning, Kotetsu,” Izumo Kamizuki replied with a smile upon seeing his good friend.

“How was your weekend? Or did you spend both days reviewing?” Kotetsu Hagane asked kindly.

“Review? Review my ass!” Izumo Kamizuki said with a loud laugh.

Izumo Kamizuki asked, “Are you reviewing?”

“I’m not reviewing,” Kotetsu Hagane shook his head and then said, “No respectable person reviews before an exam.”

“Can scores from last-minute reviewing truly represent one’s real ability?” Izumo Kamizuki nodded in agreement.

The two looked at each other, then both burst into laughter.

“Sugoroku is really too fun! Kotetsu, you absolutely have to try it after the exam,” Izumo Kamizuki said, looking like a hardcore gamer.

However, he thought to himself, ‘This is definitely secure now. Kotetsu must truly not have reviewed, so my only opponent left is Shisui.’

“I’ll try it when I have time. The novels I’ve been reading recently are also really good. Izumo, you can check them out if you have time,” Kotetsu Hagane said with a smile, recommending novels to Izumo Kamizuki, as if he had actually read them.

“It should be secure. Izumo really didn’t review and was just playing games. My only opponent for this exam is Shisui,” Kotetsu Hagane thought to himself.

“Haha, I’ll definitely read them when I have time,” Izumo Kamizuki responded with a chuckle, in a very good mood.

“What are you two so happily chatting about?” Anko appeared from behind, patting both their shoulders.

“We’re talking about how we spent the weekend,” Kotetsu Hagane explained with a smile.

“Playing? Did neither of you review at all?” Anko asked.

“Of course! Did you review for both days, Anko?” Izumo Kamizuki asked with a surprised expression.

“No, I just reviewed for one day yesterday,” Anko thought for a moment and said.

Actually, she only read for half an hour on Sunday evening, but since Izumo Kamizuki asked about reviewing for two days, Anko felt it would be embarrassing to say half an hour, so she just lied and said one day.

“Oh, you reviewed for one day? That’s pretty good,” Kotetsu Hagane said with a smile.

It was only one day; it couldn’t possibly threaten him, who had reviewed for half a month. Kotetsu Hagane even felt that Anko had reviewed too little and should have reviewed for both of the last two days.

“If you get a good score and your family rewards you, don’t forget your brothers,” Izumo Kamizuki joked with a smile.

“Hehe, considering your games and novels, it’s not impossible,” Anko was in a very good mood.

Then the three of them chatted and laughed as they walked to Ninja Academy and entered their Class to wait for the exam to begin.

Soon, Muzuki and Ueda Aya entered Class 1, Grade 1. This time, Muzuki was assigned to invigilate his own Class.

“Teacher Muzuki!”

The students in the Class greeted Muzuki one after another, and Muzuki responded with a smile.

“Is it Teacher Muzuki who’s invigilating this time?” Kotetsu Hagane asked.

Muzuki nodded in affirmation.

“Teacher Muzuki, can I ask you if I encounter any questions I don’t know later?” Anko asked, knowing the answer.

Tap!

Muzuki tapped Anko’s little head with two fingers joined together and said, “You can ask, but the only answer will be this.”

“Ouch!” Anko covered the spot where she was tapped, and immediately became well-behaved.

“Everyone, please check if you have all your exam tools. The exam will begin in ten minutes,” Muzuki reminded them.

Some cautious students began to check after hearing Muzuki’s reminder.

“Teacher Muzuki, your popularity among the students is so high,” Ueda Aya exclaimed.

She had just noticed that almost all the students had greeted Muzuki.

This was a rare occurrence, as in a Class of forty, there were always some who were introverted or didn’t like to talk.

And some people would also think that since so many people were already greeting, their greeting wouldn’t be noticed, and they wouldn’t speak up.

“After all, I am their Class Teacher,” Muzuki replied.

After ten minutes, Muzuki announced the start of the theoretical exam, then he and Ueda Aya distributed the test papers.

The students of Class 1, Grade 1 also gave Muzuki face; not a single person spoke throughout the entire exam process, all quietly working on their questions.

Muzuki and Ueda Aya took turns patrolling.

While patrolling, Ueda Aya curiously glanced at the students who were taking the exam. This quiet atmosphere was quite rare.

Probably because it was Ninja Academy, the students were generally more lively.

After looking, Ueda Aya was suddenly a little surprised. She randomly looked at a few people and felt that at a glance, all the answers seemed correct.

“Teacher Muzuki, your Class’s average score for this exam will probably lead the entire grade again,” Ueda Aya whispered, telling Muzuki what she had just seen.

“It’s hard to say until the exam results are out. Perhaps the scores of other Classes are also very good,” Muzuki responded softly.

Although good grades were a fact, Muzuki felt it was better to be low-key.

When the exam ended and the test papers were collected, the atmosphere in Class 1, Grade 1 changed.

“It’s finally over!” Kotetsu Hagane showed a relieved smile, as if he had been liberated.

Diligently reading every day and having to find ways to keep Izumo Kamizuki from studying, he was also quite tired.

“Yeah, after the practical exam, we’ll have a long vacation,” Izumo Kamizuki also said with a relaxed smile.

With the theoretical exam over, he finally didn’t have to pretend every day and try to keep Kotetsu Hagane from reviewing.

“Kotetsu, Izumo, how do you two feel you did on the exam?” Anko leaned over and asked.

“So-so. This exam felt quite difficult,” Kotetsu Hagane sighed and said.

“Yeah, there were so many questions I had no clue about. I just wrote whatever, and I don’t know how many points I’ll get,” Izumo Kamizuki’s face showed worry.

“Huh? Was it very difficult? I felt it was quite simple. Could it be that yesterday’s review worked?” Anko scratched her head and said. She felt as if she had seen this scene somewhere before.

“Shisui, how do you feel you did on the exam?” Anko asked Shisui, who was about to leave.

“So-so,” Shisui paused and replied.

He felt it was similar to the last exam, nothing special to say.

“Why am I the only one who thinks it was easy? Did I do really well?” Anko felt the reward of dango getting closer and closer to her.

“Tomorrow is the practical exam. Everyone must perform well, so that female invigilator can see our Ninjutsu level,” Anko recalled their long-ago Medical Ninja dissuasion plan.

“Definitely. This time, we absolutely must make the school replace her with a reliable Medical Ninja,” Kotetsu Hagane nodded and said.

“Actually, I think it would be great if Teacher Muzuki taught us, but that would be too tiring for Teacher Muzuki, having to teach so many classes,” Izumo Kamizuki said regretfully.

Other students also responded one after another, saying that they would definitely give 120% effort and perform well tomorrow.

“Child, do you know what this is?”

Thanos raised his golden gauntlet, six Infinity Stones shimmering with dazzling light: “With a snap of my fingers, you will turn into dust in the wind.”

“Dad doesn’t believe you.”

Fang Mo, clad in the Infinity Gauntlet, slowly shook his head, his Universal Sword pointing directly at Thanos’s shiny purple bald head: “Today, let alone the Infinity Stones, not even the Heart of the Universe can save your dog’s life!”

“Do you know what this is? This is a Truth-Seeking Orb!”

Uchiha Madara stood in mid-air, laughing wildly: “It is the strongest spear, and also the strongest shield; there’s nothing it cannot destroy!”

“You really haven’t seen anything hard, have you…?” Fang Mo grinned and pulled out a piece of bedrock: “Dare to compare it with this!?”

“Is this… the Philosopher’s Stone?”

Edward stared blankly at the red crystal in front of him: “It can ignore the law of equivalent exchange?”

“Uh, in a sense, it can only be considered the basis of equivalent exchange.”

Fang Mo touched the portable transmutation table in his hand: “But if you want it, I can consider giving you a set.”
