Chapter 66:

On Monday, since it was already the day of the exam, Kotetsu didn't go to the ninja school too early. He had been reviewing for two weeks, so he didn't feel the need to rush just to arrive 10-20 minutes early.

While on his way, Kotetsu met Kamizuki Izumo, who was also headed to school.

"Good morning, Izumo," Kotetsu greeted with a bright smile.

"Good morning, Kotetsu," Kamizuki Izumo responded with a smile when he saw his good friend.

Kotetsu asked, "How was your weekend? Did you review in the past two days?"

"Review? I reviewed nothing!" Kamizuki Izumo said with a laugh.

Kamizuki Izumo asked, "What about you?"

"Heh. I didn't," Kotetsu shook his head and said, "No serious person reviews right before the exam."

"Can the results obtained by last-minute review be true?" Kamizuki Izumo nodded in agreement.

The two looked at each other and then laughed.

"Backgammon is so fun. You must try it after the exam, Kotetsu," Kamizuki Izumo said, sounding like a serious game enthusiast.

But he was thinking in his heart that he must be stable now. Kotetsu must have genuinely not reviewed, and his only opponent was Shisui.

"I will try it when I have time. The few novels I've read recently are indeed very good. Izumo, you can read them when you have time," Kotetsu recommended novels to Kamizuki Izumo with a smile.

"It should be stable. Izumo really hasn't been reviewing and has been playing games. My opponent in this exam is Shisui," Kotetsu thought to himself.

"Haha, I will definitely read them when I have time," Kamizuki Izumo responded with a smile, feeling content.

"What are you two talking about so happily?" Anko appeared from behind and patted the two of them on the shoulders.

"We were discussing how we spent the weekend," Kotetsu explained with a smile.

"You didn't you review at all?" Anko asked.

"Of course, Anko, have you been reviewing for the past two days?" Kamizuki Izumo asked with a surprised look on his face.

"No, I only reviewed all day yesterday," Anko thought for a while and said. In fact, she had only studied for half an hour on Sunday night, but when Izumo Kamizuki asked, Anko felt it was embarrassing to admit it was just half an hour, so she exaggerated and said she'd studied for a whole day.

"Oh, you have been reviewing for a whole day; that's good," Kotetsu said with a smile. It was only one day, and there was no way it could pose a threat to him, who had been reviewing for half a month. Kotetsu even felt that Anko hadn't reviewed enough and should have studied for at least two days.

"If you do well in the exam and are rewarded by your family, don't forget about your buddies," Kamizuki Izumo joked with a smile.

"Hey, considering your games and novels, it's not impossible," Anko was in a good mood.

Then the three of them walked to the Ninja School together, talking and laughing, and entered the class to wait for the exam to start.

Soon, Makoto and Aya Ueda entered the first-year class. This time, Makoto was chosen to invigilate his own class for the exam.

"Teacher Makoto!"

The students in the class greeted Makoto enthusiastically, and Makoto responded with a smile.

"Teacher Makoto, are you here to oversee the exam this time?" Kotetsu inquired.

Makoto nodded in agreement.

"Teacher Makoto, may I ask you a question later?" Anko, anticipating the answer, asked.

Despair!

Makoto gently tapped Miratashi Anko's forehead with his finger and remarked, "You can ask, but this is the only answer you'll get."

"It hurts," Miratashi Anko whined, covering her forehead where she'd been tapped, suddenly complying.

"Everyone, please ensure you have your exam tools. The exam will begin in ten minutes," Makoto reminded.

Upon hearing Makoto's reminder, some diligent students began checking their supplies.

"Teacher Makoto, you're really popular among the students," Aya Ueda commented.

She had just noticed that nearly every student had greeted Makoto.

"This is my class, after all," Makoto replied.

Ten minutes later, Makoto officially announced the start of the theoretical exam and distributed the test papers with Aya Ueda. Class One students showed Makoto respect by working on their exam papers in complete silence. Makoto and Ueda took turns monitoring the students.

During the check, Aya Ueda took a curious look at the students, amazed by the unusual quietness. It was rare for the ninja school students to be so serene, considering that they were generally more lively.

After skimming through some test papers, Aya Ueda found it surprising. She glanced at a few random papers and immediately recognized that the answers were all correct.

"Teacher Makoto, your class is probably leading the entire grade once again with their average scores on this test," Aya Ueda whispered to Makoto.

"It's hard to tell until the test results are out. Other classes might have performed equally well," Makoto replied in a hushed tone.

When the exam concluded, and the test papers were collected, the atmosphere in Class One changed.

"It's finally over," Kotetsu said with a smile, as though he'd been released from a heavy burden.

He had dedicated himself to serious studying every day and had to find ways to keep Izumo from studying. It had been quite tiring for him.

"Yes, after the practical exam, we'll have a long break," Kamizuki Izumo added with a relaxed smile. With the theoretical exam behind him, he no longer had to act every day and think of strategies to prevent Kotetsu from studying.

Kotetsu asked Anko and Izumo, "How did you feel about the exam?"

Izumo sighed, "It was definitely tough. I found many questions quite tricky, and the answers seemed to be all over the place."

Kamizuki Izumo showed a worried expression, saying, "Yeah, some questions left me bewildered. They seemed rather randomly written, and I'm not sure how many points I'll score."

"How do you feel about the test, Shisui?" Anko inquired as she caught Shisui on his way out.

"Not bad," Shisui replied after a brief pause.

He felt that it was quite similar to the last exam, and there wasn't much else to say.

"Why am I the only one who found it very easy? Did I do well in the exam?" Anko mused, sensing that the reward dumpling was inching closer.

"Tomorrow is the practical exam. Everyone must perform better and let the female invigilator see our ninjutsu level," Anko remembered their plan to convince the school to hire a competent Taijutsu teacher.

"Definitely, this time we will ask the school to find a reliable Taijutsu teacher," Kotetsu nodded and chimed in.

"Actually, I think it would be good to have Teacher Makoto teach, but it would be too tiring for Teacher Makoto, as he would need to attend so many classes," Kamizuki Izumo said with a hint of regret.

Other students echoed their determination, vowing to give 120% of their effort and perform admirably the next day.
