Chapter 51: Exam after Exam
After Shikamaru appeared, Inuzuka and Hinata's group also appeared, and then Ningji's team also entered the classroom, and the last one to come was Naruto's group.
Because he was stopped by Li Luo and delayed for some time, Naruto's group was basically the last group to come to the exam.
Then there's the daily plot that Ethan always misses.
The lower ninjas of the same session greeted each other, completely treating the other lower ninjas as if they did not exist, and then Yakushidou showed what it means to be an actor's self-cultivation and performed a good play.
Of course, he also greeted Ethan this time, after all, these eye-catching people were all Ethan's classmates.
Ethan didn't express any opinion at all, his idea was simple: watch the excitement!
The only thing that surprised him was that when he was watching the excitement, someone was secretly watching him.
"Is that them?"
Turning his head along with the feeling, he directly collided with the gaze of Hinata's group.
"Good Keen Perception ......"
Ethan didn't have any ideas yet, and Li Luo and Hinata Ningji had already discussed it in a low voice.
"Is that him?
He smiled very happily every day, and kept looking at Ethan there, without hiding it at all.
"Every day, you caused us to be discovered by him. ”
"No, he had noticed that we were observing him before, and he was worthy of the genius that Mr. Kai had highlighted...... Hmph, there are so many of them called geniuses in this class of freshmen, is the title of genius already so cheap?"
Hinata Ninji is also a recognized genius among their graduates, originally when he learned that this class of freshmen actually registered for the Shinobi exam in the first year of graduation, he was only a little interested in Sasuke Uchiha, who graduated first in the class and is also known as a genius.
In addition to the competition between geniuses, it is also because of the other party's surname Uchiha.
But before taking the exam, Mr. Kai specifically mentioned another genius: Ethan.
A newcomer from a civilian background.,No background.,Very low-key when he was in school, there was almost nothing special about the new ninja.。
At that time, both Tiantian and Xiao Li were surprised that Teacher Kai would suddenly mention such a person, but Hinata Ningji was not interested in this person at all.
Compared to the genius of the Uchiha family, this person named Ethan is probably a civilian ninja with a little talent, right? After all, ninjas from civilian backgrounds rarely show talent, so it will arouse the curiosity of some people?
But with the introduction of Mr. Kai, Hinata Ningji changed his mind, especially after hearing that although Ethan is very talented, his strength is more dependent on hard work, and there is more recognition in his heart.
A person who is not willing to be born and keeps trying to change all this.
Not only Hinata Ningji, but Li Luo, a physical genius who is obsessed with hard training, is also interested in Ethan, because Ethan didn't have much opportunity to contact ninjutsu at the beginning, and what he is currently best at (in public information) is also physical arts.
So in addition to wanting to compete with Uchiha Sasuke today, Li Rock wanted to challenge Ethan the most, but unfortunately he couldn't block the other party at the door, and the other party came much earlier than he expected.
"Sure enough, he is a hard-working person, he will never sleep lazy, he must have gotten up early to exercise!"
Thinking of this, Li Luo couldn't wait to fight with Ethan, only a passionate collision would not be a waste of this beautiful youth! (Burning...... )
Feeling the strange enthusiastic gaze, Ethan decisively tilted his head aside, and then moved a small half step slightly, allowing the big man of the red armor to cover himself.
"Ah~ I can't see it!"
“......”
"Normal people would hide......"
"Really, it's hard to have such a cute junior, I want to watch it for a while. ”
In the daily complaints, Xiao Li returned to normal, and after such a while, the 'performance' in the field has ended.
Yakushidou showed his excellent acting skills, and sacrificed a pair of glasses for this, pretending to be spooked by a few scary people in the sound ninja village.
A few sound ninja Murashita Shinobu were still very proud, but they didn't know that these stupid people had exposed their secret tricks to a large group of competitors before the assessment that really needed actual combat began.
"Sure enough, he was born in a small village, and this brain is really not good. ”
Ethan's words were not loud, and although they couldn't be heard from a distance, the few people next to him could hear them clearly.
Among them, there are many lower ninjas from the Great Ninja Village, and after hearing Ethan's words, they all showed a look of more or less approval, and those who were a little arrogant even showed contemptuous eyes.
As for the red armor senior next to him, who is ostensibly a Konoha ninja but is actually an undercover ninja, he still maintains a cold posture.
Anyway, this guy is wearing sunglasses and covering his face with a black cloth, even if he has any subtle expressions, it is difficult to be noticed, but he may be very dissatisfied with these fools in his heart, right? After all, it is a shame for Otoshinobi.
With the appearance of the examiner of the first exam, Morino Ibiki, this farce was forced to stop, and the next thing was the first of the popular middle ninja exam: the written exam.
On the surface, it is a written test, but it is actually a test of the ability of all the lower ninjas to gather information.
In this exam room, there have been several more advanced ninjas who will write the correct answers on their own rolling paper, so it doesn't matter if the shinobi themselves are scumbags, in fact, these exam questions have long been beyond the scope of knowledge mastered by ordinary shinobi, as long as you can 'steal' this information through various means without the invigilators being able to find (or recognize), then you can also pass this exam.
Ethan didn't have to be so troublesome, although he always behaved well when he was in the ninja school, and seemed to be an ordinary student, but in fact, he had already mastered that knowledge, and even he knew more about it, and he didn't need to look for the right answers to the questions in front of him, he could finish writing them himself.
Considering that this written test will end in a farce, he can pass it smoothly even if he doesn't answer a single question.
"Let's pretend and answer a few questions. ”
Time passed quickly, and Naruto Uzumaki, who was the main character, finally said that statement.
"Okay, I announce that you have passed the first round of exams!"
When Mori Nai Biki said this, Ethan took pity on the unlucky people who were scared away.
But on second thought, the next exams were even more brutal and truly life-threatening, and those guys had such weak willpower, it was the right choice for them to quit early.
Just as Mori Noi Biki was simply explaining the true purpose of this exam, Mitarai Azuki suddenly broke through the window, and then announced in a very exaggerated manner: The rest of the people will follow me for the rest of the exam.
“......”
Because the appearance was too abrupt and exaggerated, the candidates in the classroom were stunned, and Ethan was also the first time to see such an exaggerated appearance, full of freshness.
"Seventy-eight people? Twenty-six groups were left? The first exam was inevitably easy, right?"
"There were a lot of good candidates this time. ”
"Forget it!"
Mitarai Azuki then said the phrase 'more than half of the people will be eliminated in the next exam', which once again created psychological pressure on many candidates.
"Psychological tactics?"
In comparison, Mitarai Azuki's figure may have had a greater impact on Ethan.
In addition to the trench coat he wears on the outside, this young special shinobi is completely tight-fitting soft armor (chain mail, or chain curtain, which is a very light protective gear, after all, most ninjas need to maintain agility and speed, which makes this armor very popular with ninjas), showing off his figure to the fullest.
Just like when he sees Ethan every day, he wants to see it for a while, and Ethan wants to appreciate it for a while when he sees something beautiful.
This doesn't mean that he has to do anything with red beans, it's just a simple appreciation!
That's it!
Seventy-eight Shinobi who passed the first exam were taken to the Konoha Forty-Four Training Ground, which is known as the Forest of Death.
The second round of exams is a survival challenge in small groups, and each team is randomly assigned a scroll, which may or may be written with the word "sky" or "ground".
The task of the group is to collect the two scrolls of heaven and earth and successfully reach the tower in the center of the driving range.
Only in this way can you pass this exam.
"This will indeed eliminate more than half of the candidates. ”
Twenty-six squads, the most perfect situation can make up thirteen pairs of books of heaven and earth.
However, it can't be such a coincidence, and perhaps the team you have gone to great lengths to ambush and defeat happens to be holding the same scroll as your team.
Therefore, after the actual start of the exam, the team that can reach the finish line will definitely not reach half of it.
"Let's go!"
Here, the candidates do not gather together, and each team will be taken to a different entrance by the invigilator after collecting the scrolls, and then enter the Forest of Death together at the beginning of the exam time.
In this process, even the familiar classmates did not say hello to each other, and each team was thinking about the next plan of action.
For a full five days, you have to fight to capture the corresponding scrolls, and you have to ensure the integrity of the squad, no one can lose their lives or even lose their combat effectiveness, otherwise they will also be judged out.
"It was a really interesting exam. ”
"Hmph, the real test is next, don't hold back, little ghost!"
"Ethan, I'll take the lead next, and you can just follow me, so that the senior in the red armor can ensure the safety of the team in all directions at the end. ”
"Yes!"
Although it was regarded as a weakness in the team, Ethan didn't think there was anything wrong with it, anyway, in his eyes, the real middle ninja exam hadn't started yet.
It was only when you arrived at the tower and started fighting one-on-one that it became a little more interesting.
Dead Forest? It's a park.
