Just wait till you die

The first exam came as scheduled.

Before entering the examination room, Asai once again mentioned his bet with me.

I should have declined this bet, but in order to completely get rid of this super trouble, I agreed to him on impulse.

"What if you don't make it?" I asked.

He shrugged, and his smile was mixed with relief, "No matter what Xiyin does in the future, I will not talk too much."

This result is also very good...

"I'll do my best to stop you."

He nodded vigorously, "Yeah!"

All candidates were gathered in a huge domed hall, and we were forbidden to enter the examination room area on the second floor.Each team enters the examination room in turn, and each team sends a representative to draw lots in front of the examiner. The order of entry is determined by the numbers drawn.

Asai and I stood there waiting, and Mito came back with a paper sign and showed us the number on it: 11.

"No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look very auspicious." Mito blamed himself.

Asai patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, we rely on our strength."

The situation of the first few teams inside is unknown. Every time a team enters, after 5 minutes, an examiner will stand at the stairs and call the next team to enter.

We quickly got to the front, an orange-haired chunin took our paper slips, and another long-haired female ninja took us up the stairs with a cold face.

When we got to the second floor, we found out that there are dozens of examination rooms here. The so-called 5-minute examination time is just the appearance that the examiners confuse us.The ninja took us to a classroom marked No. 6, handed over to the examiner sitting behind the desk, and left.

We sat side by side behind wooden desks, and each of us had a test paper in front of us. The test paper was turned upside down on the table, and the content could not be ascertained.

"As you can see, you have three and 10 minutes to answer the questions. During this period, you can communicate with each other and discuss the answers. After the final test papers are handed in, you go to the lounge next door to wait for the results to be announced."

After the examiner with the thousand books in his mouth finished speaking, he took out the alarm clock to set the time, then leaned back on the back of the chair and fell asleep.

Asai was the first to open the test paper, he picked up the paper in disbelief, read it over and over again.

"Only one topic!"

"So do we." Mito glanced at my paper and said, "And the questions are exactly the same."

"Write down the names of the candidates for the same period and Ninja Village." Asai read out the title, "What is this? Does the more you write, the more points you get? Then don't we, Konoha, take advantage of it?"

"No," Mito pointed to the last line of the scroll, "Writing the names of the ninjas from the same village doesn't get points. After all, it is our Konoha ninjas who really suffer. Moreover, only the top [-] groups with the highest scores can Promotion—hey, what are you doing?" Mito panicked.

"What are you doing? Of course I'm looking for justice!" Asai left his seat, walked up to the ninja, and knocked on the table.

The ninja pretending to be asleep opened one eye with great difficulty, and slowly shifted his gaze to Asai, "What's the matter?"

"Of course it's about the exam!"

"Souga...a question is worth five points, you can ask it if you think it through."

"What?! How many points is it for writing a name, and five points for a question?"

"There is only one point for each name, that is to say, your current total score is minus five points. As a reminder, there are a total of 72 candidates except Konoha Shinobu." The examiner introduced the relevant content to us leisurely.

"you!"

Asai, who wanted to say more, was dragged back by us.

"Why? Our total score is only half of that of other villages!" He sat back indignantly, glaring at the examiner in front of him, as if the person in front of him was not a human, but a scarecrow in a shooting range, wishing to punch a few times with his fists.

Complaining is nothing but complaints, he sat down and stared at the examination paper, muttering to himself the characters he remembered, and writing their names on the paper.

Unexpectedly, Mito wrote down the names of more than a dozen people in just a few minutes, and even gave an outline of their origins and appearances.

Being watched by Asai and I, he said shyly, "I helped grandpa sort out the materials before, so I just wrote it down."

This is the hidden master... We silently gave him a thumbs up, and quickly adjusted our seats to arrange him in the middle. While he was writing, we were copying.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Mito, who finished writing the answers ahead of time, looked at the clock, and there were still ten minutes before the end of the exam.He calmed down and meditated, his eyes fell on the center of the test paper.

"There are ten teams in front of us. According to Konoha's habit, the examination room will be arranged according to the numbers drawn, but the serial number of the examination room is 6 when we enter. Assuming that the team behind fills the vacancy in front, then when we enter the examination room Only five or ten minutes have passed since the start of the exam, and only one team has just finished the exam, so our serial number should be exam room No. 10."

Asai had just finished copying, and he tilted his head to express his doubts, "We are number six, what can we explain?"

I also put down my pen: "It means that before us, at least four teams were eliminated."

Mito nodded and looked at us seriously.

"Is that so?" Asai, who is not sensitive to numbers, shook his head violently, trying to get those annoying logic out of the mind map.However, he is not really stupid, and the way he behaves, he must say,

"Since you don't know, it's good to ask!"

He stood up and walked quickly to the ninja whose mouth was almost rusted.

"Don't pretend to be asleep at this time, senior."

Mito called him hastily, with cold sweat on his forehead, afraid that he would waste a hard-earned five points, "Wait, do you understand? What questions are you asking?"

"Of course I understand." He made a gesture to reassure us, and when Senbon Jonin asked his question, he quickly asked: "Senior, what other rules are there in this exam?"

Great question!Mito breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body relaxed, and he sat back on the chair.

Even Senbon Jonin couldn't help but look at him more, and asked, "Are you sure this is the problem? Don't blame me for talking too much, you may lose five points for nothing."

"Think clearly, that's the question." He looked back at us, especially Mito, and after getting affirmation, he turned his head and insisted on getting a definite answer.

"Then," Senbon Jonin stood up, yawned long, smacked his lips and said, "Give me the paper, your exam is over."

We were all surprised.

He looked at us and said sympathetically, "This exam tests your ability to grasp intelligence, so the content of the exam is all on this paper, and your scores are directly related to the paper."

He wrote down the second "-5" in our team's record book, and said: "Unfortunately, the hidden rule of the exam is that no matter how candidates actively ask about the exam rules, the first exam will end immediately."

In the lounge, we all had the same ugly expressions, and it sounded embarrassing if we pretended to be smart and smashed our feet or something.

"Hey, have you been kicked out in advance too?" A ninja from Wuyin Village asked us across two rows of chairs.

Asai was already very annoyed, and such provocative question directly stimulated him, he gritted his teeth and stood up, "What's the matter? Don't you know you should give your name before asking the question?"

"Cut!" Kirigakure's ninja hugged his head with both hands, leaned back, and ignored him.

"That's rude." Asai muttered.

Half an hour later, Mito suddenly tugged on my sleeve, took out a pen and paper from the ninja bag, and wrote me a sentence.

"Isn't it strange? Why are there no new teams coming in?"

I nodded to show that I had noticed this too.

"I counted, here, including us, there are five teams."

"Perhaps, only those who finished the exam early were arranged here."

Asai was attracted by our small movements, and his furry head insisted on squeezing between us. He looked at the words on the note, and even wrote:

"No, just now I was chatting with a grass ninja, and their topic is different from ours."

Kusanagi's test papers are full of calculation questions, which cannot be answered by the knowledge level of the following Shinobi, so they also chose to ask the examiner, and they were brought here just like us.

"In that case, what's the use of the paper test scores?" Mito asked a question.

"Look into my eyes," I said.

In the blink of an eye, the three of us appeared in a white room.

Mito looked at his hands and asked in surprise, "Illusion?"

"This way we won't be eavesdropped." I said, while we were discussing, the team next to us was trying to steal our conversation, and threw a monitor the size of a rice grain under our chairs.

"The exam is over, why are you so serious?" Asai didn't care, but was shocked by Mito's words, "No, this exam is not over yet."

He carefully analyzed the doubts with us so far: the examiner said that we ended the exam early, but did not say that we were eliminated, and the people who stayed here all asked the same question as us.

"So I guess, just now is just a part of the exam, and that question is just a sign of customs clearance."

The reason why he came to this conclusion is very simple. Senbon Jōnin, the invigilator, repeatedly emphasized a sentence when we left the classroom: the Chunin exam is by no means as simple as you think.

"The written test is not over yet."

As if to confirm what he said, after a few minutes, several examiners walked in, distributed a few blank sheets of paper to each of us, and told us that the second round of written examination will now begin.

"All the questions come from the questions that each group saw in the first round of the written test. There are five groups in total. Since you have already done one group, you only need to do the other four groups of questions. The premise is that you can get mutual understanding. The total score is taken from the combined scores of the two written exams, and the two groups with the highest scores will advance to the second exam. Everyone, come on.”

The examiners left the examination room after speaking their requirements.

"Oops!" After listening to the request, Asai's expression was dull. When he was chatting with Kusunin just now, he had inadvertently disclosed the topic we wrote, but he didn't listen to all the topics of others.So at the beginning, Kusanagi's total score was the one with the highest score in our presence.

"Thank you very much." Kusanagi said proudly.

The previous fog ninja stood up and said to all of us in a leadership manner: "Everyone, I don't think we will take the initiative to hand over our own questions. If we want to get high scores, we can only kill each other. In this case, it will be a waste of participation." The energy of the second exam. Rather than hurting both sides, why don’t we be more honest, take the initiative to hand in all the questions, and the final score will be based on our ability?”

"He's right," Mito said.

After all, the first test is just an appetizer. If you waste your energy and energy just to obtain information, even if you pass the first test, the next second test will not be beneficial, so the gain outweighs the loss.The best way is for everyone to bring up all the topics to avoid unnecessary disputes.

As a result, Kusanagi, who had the upper hand, disagreed, and they refused to hand over their questions.

"boom!"

The three Kusanagi were pierced through the chest by the water blade, and the water and blood merged and flowed all over the ground.The leader, Wu Ninja, snorted dismissively: "Then quit the exam."

"Now, what objections do you have?" He asked, his eyes casually sweeping over the few of us.Among these teams, apart from them, our team seems to be the most difficult to mess with. As long as we agree, other people's opinions are irrelevant.

Mito took the initiative: "No."

Other teams followed suit.

Generally speaking, this exam is not good for us because of the questions, so Mito deliberately deleted the sentence "except for Ninja Village" in the question when handing in the questions.However, the other teams are not necessarily honest, and the questions given to us all have traces of modification.

Everyone's sincerity was clearly visible, but no one proposed to resubmit the topic, and everyone knew that it would be a waste of time.

"Xi Yin, it's up to you." Mito gestured to me.

"Yeah." I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, three Gouyu were lying quietly in my eyes.
