"The test must reflect your true level; cheating is strictly forbidden."
Saying this, Inoue Reigetsu turned to introduce the Hyuga Clan Ninja behind her.
"This is the proctor for this exam, Hyuga Shin."
"The Byakugan can observe the flow of Chakra, and he will use it to monitor the exam room throughout the entire session."
Inoue Reigetsu swept her eyes across the class with a serious expression, focusing particularly on the children from Kekkei Genkai families.
"So please do not make a mistake, students; if cheating is discovered, you will be expelled immediately."
"Do you understand!"
"We understand."
The students answered in unison.
Inoue Reigetsu nodded and continued:
"Pass the test papers down now; the exam will begin in five minutes."
"Before then, you may look through the papers, but you are not allowed to write."
The test papers were passed down one by one from the front to the back.
"Teacher, you must have made a mistake. We haven't even started learning this course yet."
Some students in the front row who had received their papers began to question it after seeing completely unfamiliar topics.
"Yeah, Teacher, did you hand out the wrong papers?"
Inoue Reigetsu took a test paper and glanced at it.
"The papers are correct. If you understand them, fill them out; if not, it's fine to hand in a blank sheet."
"However, I still hope you do your best, but you absolutely, positively must not cheat."
She emphasized repeatedly.
Below, Hyuga Aokawa took the paper and scanned it; indeed, it was all material that the school hadn't taught yet.

There were multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and short-answer questions.
There were even word problems, practical questions, and ethics questions... Good grief, it was all from the 'Overview of Medical Ninja' course.
Some of it was even beyond the syllabus; if he weren't a transmigrator, he might not even know it just by reading the books.
The exam began.
The atmosphere was completely different from their usual classes.
The civilian students in the class tried to make an effort at first.
But once they saw the paper was completely beyond their scope of knowledge,
almost all of them simply gave up, completely lying flat and waiting for the exam to end.
In contrast, the children from the great clans were the exact opposite of how they were in normal classes.
Usually the ones 'lying flat,' they were now scratching their heads in frustration, their faces masks of agony.
With knowledge several levels higher than the civilians,
they vaguely sensed that this exam had some undertones of a selection process.
Therefore, each of them tried their best to answer the questions.
Unfortunately, they hadn't looked at the books at all since they were handed out.
They could only rely on the bits and pieces of knowledge they had picked up within their families to choose a few options.
Inoue Reigetsu observed the students' expressions and thought to herself,
"Just as I thought!"
After several fruitless attempts, almost all the students simply put down their pens and started playing with the erasers on their desks.
The occasional few who tried to write were also frowning deeply, hesitating with every stroke, not knowing where to start.
What surprised her the most,
was actually that pair of Hyuga desk-mates.
The two of them were actually writing without pause, as if they had truly studied it.
This certainly made her see them in a new light.
Soon, Hyuga Aokawa finished the paper.
Thanks to having finished the medical overview course in advance, along with some hygiene knowledge from his past life,
his answering went very smoothly.
He stretched and turned his head to find that many of his classmates had basically given up.
What surprised him instead was that Hinata Ayane, beside him, was writing furiously.
He sat quietly, waiting for the exam to end.
Hyuga Shin, proctoring from the stage, saw these two clansmen.
But he shook his head inwardly.
Although the grades weren't out yet,
in his view, the fact that these two clansmen were writing so smoothly meant they had spent quite a bit of energy on this medical course.
Instead of that, they would have been better off spending that time on the Gentle Fist.
It was a waste of the Byakugan's talent.
Time ticked by, and the exam time was up.
Inoue Reigetsu ordered the students to stop writing.
Then she collected the papers one by one and, after organizing them,
announced that class was dismissed!
As soon as Inoue Reigetsu stepped out of the classroom, the activity of students greeting each other about the exam began.
"How did you do?"
"Not great. I couldn't understand it, so I picked C for all the multiple-choice questions and left the rest blank."
"Same here. I don't know why they suddenly gave such a difficult test."
"Yeah, whatever. Anyway, the teacher said it's fine even if we hand in a blank sheet."
"..."
After class, the students began whispering among themselves, discussing the exam.
Hyuga Aokawa was also quite curious, and he looked at Hinata Ayane.
"I saw you answering quite smoothly."
"Why? Have you studied this material before?"
Hinata Ayane tore open a bag of dried fish, squeezed one out, and popped it into her mouth.
She chewed happily, her eyes curving into crescents from the deliciousness.
Hearing Hyuga Aokawa's question, she replied indistinctly:
"No. I saw you holding this book a while ago and looking very absorbed in it."
"I got curious and started reading along, and I actually found it quite interesting."
Saying this, she handed a book to Hyuga Aokawa.
He looked at it; sure enough, it was the 'Overview of Medical Ninja' he had been reading earlier.
"That's quite a coincidence," Hyuga Aokawa laughed.
"It really is."
Hinata Ayane squeezed another small fish out of the package and handed it to Hyuga Aokawa.
"Here's one for you!"
"Thanks!"
As Hyuga Aokawa ate the dried fish, his mind began to ponder.
After the deaths of Nawaki and Kato Dan, Tsunade had been dedicated to ensuring that every squad was equipped with a Medical Ninja.
Although this initiative wasn't fully realized until she became Hokage,
the reason was that training Medical Ninjas was too difficult.
It required extremely high talent and learning ability.
Once one was finally trained and sent to the Front Lines,
they could easily be targeted and taken out.
However, the Village's efforts regarding Medical Ninjas were ongoing.
People like Rin and Sakura were all Medical Ninjas trained from their classes.
With war approaching, Taro had also told him yesterday that the Village was going to vigorously train Medical Ninjas.
So, today's pop quiz was likely some kind of selection.
"Here's another fish!"
This time, Hinata Ayane held a piece of dried fish directly to Hyuga Aokawa's lips.
Seeing this, Hyuga Aokawa lightly bit it with his teeth. "Thanks!"
Uchiha Tsuyoshi, sitting by the classroom window, watched the two of them feeding each other and poked Uchiha Shinichi beside him.
"Brother Shinichi, look at that pretty boy chatting happily with the Big Eater Girl again."
Uchiha Shinichi's expression was a bit strange, and he shook his head:
"Although I don't want him bothering Kurenai, I think his taste is really poor."
"No matter how you look at her, that Big Eater Girl is nowhere near as good as Kurenai."
Uchiha Tsuyoshi also nodded:
"I think so too. She's too fat, and she's fat in a different way from everyone else."
