Chapter 184: The Intention of the Exam, the Dangerous Sprint Stage
The words were divided into two ends, just as the high-level of the village was secretly methodically strengthening the garrison, waiting for the group of Yunyin Village to appear and throw themselves into the net. Since the news was not announced to the public, and most of the people in the village were unaware of it, the annual entrance exam for new ninja schools was still in full swing. And with the passage of time, the children who took the exam were either eliminated because they were overwhelmed, or gritted their teeth and persevered to move forward, and gradually showed two completely different endings.
While the number of references is decreasing, the third and final round of entrance exams on the first day of recruitment at this year's ninja school has also passed most of the process, and it is gradually coming to an end, entering the final sprint stage.
But even though it has entered the stage of sprinting to the end, the current situation is still bumpy and severe for the children taking the exam.
In terms of the number of candidates who are still declining, the number of successful admissions on the first day of this year's entrance examination will definitely be the lowest in the history of the university! If the candidate keeps choosing to give up or reaches the limit and is forced out of the game without slowing down, I am afraid that it is a question whether he can build a complete class!
Of course, this is not to say that the conditions of the children who took the exam this year were so poor that there was a bad situation of a large number of failed exams. If you want to investigate the root cause, it is actually the same as what most people subconsciously complained about before - the seemingly simple freshman entrance exam, if you put aside the strength, just according to the complexity of the intertwining of the rules and unspoken rules on the surface, and the real assessment intention, this can actually be regarded as a small selection of the middle ninja exam.
And all of this is obviously the masterpiece of Naruto Uzumaki, a time-traveler who is the chief examiner behind the scenes. is all for the sake of the future Zhongnin exam, and chose to remove most of the cannon fodder in this year's entrance exam, and try to keep only the elite. In order to be able to reduce the casualties as much as possible on the basis that the members who participated in the Chunin Examination have a certain ability to protect themselves.
Compared with the lengthy and arduous third round of exams, the whole process of the first and second rounds of exams from the beginning to the end is so quiet that people wonder if they have ever taken the exam. It's because these two exams, like the first round of the Zhongnin exam in the original book, are tests of the reference personnel's ability to adapt to changes in any situation, which is now the "word game" that everyone gradually recognizes.
For example, in the first round of exams, if you can enter the school through the queue seriously, it will be like a top student who has passed your own ability in the original book and answered all the papers. It can be counted as passing the first round of exams, and it is naturally understandable.
If there is no way to enter the school by means of proper queuing, then the candidates need to find another way to cut the queue. In order to be able to ensure that you enter the school on time and pass the first round of exams before the reference staff is full. In other words, in the first round of the written test of the Chinese ninja exam in the original book, the reference personnel were secretly reminded to take "cheating" behaviors. But if there is a difference, it is between the two, the former, that is, the exam that is currently underway, is much simpler and easier than the latter.
After all, although the reference staff is encouraged to cheat in the original book to test the candidates' ability to obtain information, if the means are too inferior and naïve, so that they are caught by the invigilator, they will be directly counted as unqualified and eliminated.
On the other hand, in this freshman exam, if you take the queue or other cheating methods, you will enter the school one step ahead. Because considering that most of the reference personnel are ignorant children, it is only because of the assessment of their ability to adapt on the spot. Even if the invigilator finds him caught on the spot, he will let people in with one eye and one eye closed. You will not be eliminated as a loser or punished in any way. In other words, it's a zero-risk option with nothing to lose.
As for whether they passed the first round of exams on their own strength - for example, the vast majority of children were carried and sent in by their elders - the question is actually first
In one round of exams, it doesn't matter. After all, most ninjas are never alone. So much so that in Naruto's opinion, being able to get the help and support of others is also one of his own abilities.
But this does not mean that you can always rely on your elders to make choices for you, and you can always pass this exam without any trouble. On the contrary, most of the children who have this luck mentality are in the second round of exams, and they suffer a big loss.
As the chief examiner behind the scenes, Naruto didn't silently bear those unprovoked insults and gossip as usual today, without fighting back. Instead, on the premise that he clearly understands that his appearance in the examination room will inevitably attract the attention and dissatisfaction of most people, he will make clever use of it. deliberately used himself as bait to test whether this group of children, who should be young and pure-hearted, met this evaluation.
And beyond what is ostensibly claimed, this second round of exams tests whether children can control their emotions and not be influenced by others, even their elders. More often than not, it's to test another basic ability to become a ninja.
That is the ability to think independently and make choices.
Admittedly, in the second round of exams, among the children who were eliminated. Almost all of their parents were involved in the riot of Naruto's insults and the questioning of Tenzo's "list of those who passed the second round of exams". As a result, the children around him have learned from each other, resulting in the fate of their own children being eliminated. But this is not absolute.
It's like a small number of children who have been eliminated are just cases of children who have been inspired by the people around them and decided to follow the herd, but their elders have never been involved. Among the children who were able to stay and participate in this last round of exams, there are also special cases of parents who follow the trend and insult them, but the children keep silent. This is the reason why the children themselves make different choices based on their own judgment, which leads to their own completely opposite endings.
After all, in this second round of exams, what is really tested is whether the children themselves can question the wrong role models of their elders and even others, rather than the quality of their family upbringing.
And in this third round, and it is also the last round of today's entrance exam. Just as Tenzo announced at the beginning, it was a comprehensive exam that added the essence of the first two rounds of assessment.
At the beginning, Naruto used the food as bait and asked the small fan to set off one step ahead, not just to stimulate the momentum of the remaining candidates who were not afraid of tigers. What's more, it is to take advantage of this small time difference to make small adjustments to the guide signs along the way under Naruto's secret instructions. For example, at a fork in the road, "carelessly" directing it in the opposite direction.
Although the road is technically in the same direction as the exam path, it will eventually subtly reunite at the next intersection. And the invigilators who are responsible for observing the performance of the candidates are also quietly placed at the intersection of these right and wrong paths, just like the time trial overtime in the racing game that Naruto used to play in his previous life. Pass through these junctions in order, and no matter how you get there, you won't think too much about it unless it's so loud as to be noticeable. In this case, it is not completely wrong...... However, in terms of the length of the journey, it is 10% longer than the original route.
Ten percent may not sound like much, but don't think that this 10 percent difference doesn't seem like a big deal...... Don't forget, on the bright side, the topic of this third round of exams requires candidates to run around the entire village for a full circle.
Not to mention the total length, just for this section of the journey, 10% of the extra unjust road is enough to completely grind out the initial momentum and excitement of this group of candidates! What's more, on the subsequent road of wrongdoing, the length of the journey is also different. This 10 percent calculation conclusion is just a comparison of the data at the beginning of the road.
&n
bsp; In other words, from the moment when the candidates are faced with the choice of the first fork in the road, it is the official start of the third round of exams. The first thing to assess is the ability of the new students to adapt to their own environment and observe and judge - if they can't tell which path is the right one in the village where they grew up, and don't dare to question it as a basis to make the right choice. Then when you become a ninja in the future and go to a strange area to perform a mission, it will be very easy to get dizzy and not be able to find the north, or even stupidly get into the trap and be ambushed by the enemy.
If anyone can keep taking the wrong path, they still follow the rules on the surface and complete the exam. Then there is no doubt that being successfully admitted to the school is a sure thing. Because of this excellent performance, they will be taken care of and assigned to the top classes with relatively more generous teaching resources.
But for young children, there are very few who can do this. In other words, from the moment Sasuke manipulated the guide sign at the first fork in the road, it was time for the candidates, consciously or unconsciously, to start thinking about whether they should risk being caught and eliminated by the invigilator and exploiting the "loopholes" of the exam rules to "cheat".
Although in the perception of the candidates, it will be because in the first two rounds of exams, the ninja school did not play according to the routine. In the first half of the exam, most of them chose to obediently follow the rules of the school, and there was no doubt about him. But after a large amount of physical energy was consumed, and they personally realized that relying only on the supply of a soldier food pill and a small amount of drinking water was definitely far from enough to support their bodies to complete the entire exam. If you don't want to give up, then you can only consider taking the risk of "breaking the rules". Among them, there are several relatively simple "rule loopholes" that are deliberately given at this time to deliberately reduce the burden on candidates.
The first is that, like Shikamaru, he is keenly aware of the cattiness that exists in the choice of forks in the road. And firmly believe in their own choice, embark on the right path, in order to reduce the consumption of physical energy in disguise through the shortening of the distance.
It is precisely because most of my peers will not think of this plan at the beginning. Shikamaru, who was already puzzled by Naruto's role in the exam from many clues, deliberately stopped and stopped tentatively when he embarked on this path. Then, as he had planned, he "accidentally" joined Naruto and Hinata together, and confirmed Naruto's identity as the chief examiner.
The second is like running to provoke Sasuke without self-strength, trying to take advantage of the advantage of being outnumbered to snatch food pills and drinking water from the lone candidate to supplement his own consumption. The practice of using force to force others to take and plunder...... Although this practice may seem too violent and shameless to outsiders. But strictly speaking, it is within the scope of the rules.
After all, at the beginning of the exam, although the chief examiner Tenzo on the surface had said solemnly and clearly that the only recovery props that candidates could use during the exam were a soldier food pill and a small amount of drinking water distributed by the school. But he didn't say a word from beginning to end, these recovery props can't be forcibly seized by others?
And the reason why these three bear children were able to find Sasuke faster than Naruto was because Naruto spent too much time on the Pig Deer Butterfly trio. It was precisely because he robbed many candidates of the Bing Food Pill to replenish himself, that he was able to stuff one into his mouth from time to time, so that he could keep the chakra in an excellent state of almost full abundance at all times, and run at full speed without any worries.
It's a pity that after kicking Sasuke's iron plate, their good luck ended there...... It's not good to provoke anyone, but he provoked a small fan who was angry, and he was destined to be a punching bag-like existence, taking a beating for Naruto, and ushering in the tragic fate of leaving the scene early with scars.
In a sense, in the words of Naruto's world, this is probably ...... If you come out to mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back.
The third, and in the real sense of the third round, is the shortcut to the third round of the exam, which exists in the weight equipment distributed to the candidates from the beginning of the exam.
That's right, the exam rules clearly state that even if a candidate completes the goal of running a lap around the village, he or she does not fully pass the exam. When you return to school, you must have the weight-bearing equipment issued by the school to be considered qualified.
And this key "word game" appears in this inconspicuous rule.
Just when everyone took it for granted that they should always carry this heavy equipment that was enough to consume a lot of physical energy, and honestly complete the entire exam, they failed to find out...... Just as Naruto took Hinata's heavy equipment from the beginning of his own carry. There is still a very simple "loophole" in this rule - that is, as long as the candidate returns to school, he or she has a piece of heavy equipment on him.
After all, the load-bearing equipment is only distributed to you, but there is no mark on it that marks who it belongs to?
In other words, as long as you can achieve the goal of having heavy equipment on you when you arrive at the school. Then no matter during the exam, whether you transfer the weight-bearing equipment to your teammates to help carry it, or even if you accidentally lose it, it is absolutely no problem for someone else to transfer it to you.
Of course, there's an easier way to get rid of the heavy gear in the first place. After completing the primary goal of circumnavigating the village, and maintaining a much more physical advantage than the other candidates, he squatted near the school to guard the other candidates who were overwhelmed and panting. And like forcibly seizing food pills from soldiers, forcibly taking heavy equipment from them and taking it for yourself is still within the allowable range of the rules.
Of course, the risk of choosing to discard the load-bearing equipment is not without - that is, the candidates who can return to school are basically the existence of good strength. So that when choosing to crouch, in addition to not being 100% sure, his party can force success. It is even more necessary to worry about whether the other party has the same intentions as themselves, so after a fight, each other finds that the other party does not have the necessary weight-bearing equipment to pass the exam, and it becomes empty.
Well, but you can also consider throwing away the load-bearing equipment in the first half of the journey, and picking up the discarded load-bearing equipment from the side of the road in the second half or in the middle of the road for your own use. Although it is not as small as discarding the weight-bearing equipment from start to finish, it is one of the safer and safer ways.
There's even a way to discard your weight-bearing equipment all the way to the last minute, betray your companions, and take their weight-bearing equipment from your companions to ensure that you pass the level smoothly! Although it is very likely that you will be spurned and blamed by others afterwards, it is indeed one of the feasible solutions in terms of rules alone......
It can be said that in this third round of the exam, the way to pass it is not limited to the rigid rules on the surface, but depends on how the candidates can choose and give full play to their performance.
In other words, this third round of exams is a simplified version of the second round of exams in the Zhongnin exam - capturing the Heaven and Earth Scroll. The difference is that in addition to not worrying about the trouble of surviving in the wild, and the distance is relatively shorter than when capturing the Heaven and Earth Scroll. In this entrance exam, there is only one goal that needs to be captured and protected, and there is no need to worry about not being the same. And for candidates who choose to guard the weight-bearing equipment, it will increase a lot of physical burden.
Because of this, as the third round of exams is coming to an end, the atmosphere among the candidates has not been relaxed. On the contrary, because they gradually realized the "loopholes" that existed in the rules, they gradually became anxious and nervous and guarded against each other...... So much so that although it is just a group of children, between them, the smell of gunpowder that represents the imminent start of the big melee is becoming more and more intense and obvious.
Until any of them could not bear the tension of this strange atmosphere, like the flame of a bomb fuse, and took the lead in attacking......
The real highlight is just about to begin......
