Chapter 14: the Crane’s Tail Counterattack

"The first exam, I'm a little nervous. I don't know if the questions are difficult or not."

"I hope it's not difficult. If you fail, you'll get beaten when you go home."

"It shouldn't be. Didn't Teacher Makoto also give us mock papers? Passing is still easy."

Perhaps because it was the first time to take the exam, many students in the first-year classroom were a little nervous.

Worry about the questions being too difficult, worry about not getting good grades and getting scolded at home.

"Anko, Izumo, are you nervous?" Hagane Kotetsu asked his friends.

"What's there to be nervous about? It's just a small test. Let me pass it easily." Miratashi Anko said with a smile.

"You're not nervous? This is different from usual. The results will be publicly announced on the wall." Kamizuki Izumo replied.

"I'm also a little nervous. I only got 80 in Mr. Hosakawa's mock paper last time. The official exam should be a little more difficult. I should only be able to get 60 or 61" Kotetsu nodded.

"My simulated score is a little better than yours. I got eighty-seven in the exam, but I feel like I might be sixty-seven this time." Kamizuki Izumo said with a bitter look on his face.

"No, do you all have such high scores in the exam?" Anko was a little confused. She was so confident that she only scored over 60 in the last mock test.

"The simulated results are all false and cannot be considered real." Kamizuki Izumo sighed.

"Work hard to do well in the exam. Then the average score will be higher. I heard that if the results are too poor, the teacher may be replaced. Then it will not be Teacher Makoto." Kotetsu said what he heard.

"Change teacher? You can change to another teacher, but Hosakawa-sensei can't." Anko didn't want Makoto to leave.

Although he is the head teacher, not all classes are taught by Makoto, there are several other teachers.

"Well, the other teachers' classes are too boring. Only Mr. Hosakawa's classes are interesting and easy to understand." Kamizuki Izumo agreed.

"Why don't we tell the whole class this news and encourage everyone." Kamizuki Izumo thought of a good way. He read the novels where he had to boost morale before a battle.

Anko thought this was a good idea, so she stood on her desk and announced the news to everyone.

Anko's words caused a commotion in the classroom, and Makoto was their favorite and respected teacher.

"You will definitely pass this time, right? I believe Obito you can do it." Nohara Rin encouraged with a smile.

Although Obito has said this kind of thing countless times without success, Nohara Rin is still willing to believe Obito and give encouragement.

"Try to do what you know how to do correctly, check it several times, and leave those difficult problems till the end." Nohara Rin reminded Obito softly.

As a good friend, she really hopes that Obito can get rid of the title of "crane tail".

"Yeah." Obito nodded in agreement.

Soon another invigilator came into the classroom. He was Kimura Sugito, the tall and burly teacher from the same office as Makoto. The two teachers in the same examination room were invigilating the exam together.

When the bell rang, Makoto and Kimura Sugito distributed the test papers together.

Afterwards, the two of them invigilated the exam together, silently and occasionally, and occasionally sat on the podium at the same time and chatted for a while.

"Teacher Isamu is also feeling very uncomfortable. It is estimated that the bonus for this semester has been suspended, and there are two big cranes." Kimura Sugito sighed softly.

"It's hard to say. Maybe they will study hard this semester and pass the exam." Makoto smiled and shook his head.

Makoto felt that Obito and Might Gai's performance this time should shock a lot of people's jaws.

"I haven't passed the theory test even once for three consecutive years. If I were to pass, I should have passed it long ago. The more courses I take, the harder it becomes." Kimura Sugito thinks Makoto is too optimistic.

"Fortunately, they will graduate after this school year, otherwise..." Kimura Sugito thought about how miserable it would be for such students to fall into his hands.

After a brief chat, Makoto continued to patrol.

He missed going to class a little bit. Because of exams, the entire Ninja School was suspended for three days. The first day was various theoretical exams, the second day was actual combat, and the third day was also actual combat, with a decisive battle to determine the grade ranking.

This three-day suspension of classes meant to him that he had missed practicing several ninjutsu and refining dozens of chakras.

Fortunately, the apprenticeship was still usable. After the theoretical exam, Makoto gave Obito some shurikens, which he blasted with fifty chakra.

"Teacher Makoto, just be optimistic when the time comes. I will definitely use the shuriken you gave me to defeat them all and take first place!" Obito said gratefully.

The practical exam is about to begin.
