Seeing no objections, Chiba Yuune began reading names from the list.
"Now, Kumosuke, come up for the test. Yuma, get ready."
A tall man stepped forward.
He stepped onto the stage full of confidence, gripped the handles with both hands, and began outputting Chakra.
The Chakra moved through the metal strips and surged onto the glass plate.
Kumosuke carefully controlled the Chakra, trying to draw according to the pattern.
As it turned out, he used too much force, and the Chakra line went outside the pattern.
Panicked, he quickly pulled the Chakra Threads back.
Consequently, he overcompensated again, exceeding the pattern once more.
After several back-and-forths, the Chakra lines on the glass plate looked like a ball of yarn.
"Is it because of the distance?"
Hyuga Aokawa observed from below and quickly identified the problem.
There was a certain distance between the person and the glass plate; it took time for the Chakra to travel from the person's hands to the glass.
Therefore, there was a delay in control.
Once force was applied, the Chakra output would suddenly increase, the Chakra speed would become faster, and the delay would decrease significantly.
This caused the delay to fluctuate. This test not only examined the ability to control the direction of Chakra...
...but also assessed the ability to output Chakra stably.
In the following moments, the more Kumosuke tried to control it...
...the more the Chakra zig-zagged and ran wild, completely out of his control.
Soon, he was judged to have failed the assessment because the Chakra exceeded the pattern area by too much.
Seeing this, Chiba Yuune used a pen to fill in a zero in Kumosuke's column on the form.
Then she spoke: "0 points. Now, begin the second test."
Kumosuke wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and gripped the handles again.
After the first failure, he also realized the issue of the delay.
But stable Chakra output was easier said than done.
He could only slow down, slowly controlling the Chakra to draw according to the pattern.
This time was much better than the first; the Chakra lines basically followed the pattern.
Although it wasn't neat, it was finally within a reasonable range.
Just when Kumosuke thought he was safe this time, the Chakra lines he had drawn earlier began to fade.
In his anxiety, he tried to speed up, and the scene of Chakra running wild appeared again.
Ultimately, the computer judged it a failure again.
Chiba Yuune expressionlessly drew another zero.
"0 points. Third test!"
Seeing Kumosuke like this, the people below all swallowed hard.
Especially those who knew Kumosuke; they knew his Chakra control wasn't that bad.
If even he found it this difficult, they probably had no hope.
"It doesn't look that simple, wow!"
A sweet, soft voice came, accompanied by a fragrance.
Hyuga Aokawa looked toward the source; Hinata Ayane had somehow leaned in beside him.
He leaned close to Hinata Ayane's small face and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"When you test later, pay attention to the stable output of Chakra."
Hinata Ayane was startled by Hyuga Aokawa's suddenly approaching face.
Her face turned red in an instant, and she instinctively wanted to pull away.
Seeing Hyuga Aokawa's serious expression, she suppressed the thought in her heart.
Her small face nodded very seriously, then she asked: "How do I stabilize the output?"
"Have you learned the Pressure Point Technique yet?" Hyuga Aokawa asked.
At the mention of this, Hinata Ayane quickly forgot the previous ambiguity.
Her small face was full of pride: "I knew that skill when I was 4 years old. My grandfather even praised me as a Genius!"
4 years old?
Hyuga Aokawa looked at her in a new light; he didn't expect this little foodie to be a Genius.
He gave her a thumbs up and showered her with praise, making the young girl feel a bit embarrassed.
Then he continued: "According to my observation, the amount of Chakra output doesn't actually need to be that much."
"That person on stage using both hands is actually making it harder for himself."
"With so many Acupoints on the hands and varying lengths of meridians in the body, the speed at which Chakra comes out will definitely be different."
"Adding both hands makes the difficulty even greater."
Hinata Ayane nodded as if she half-understood: "Then what should I do?"
"When it's your turn, use only one hand to output Chakra."
"At the same time, block the Acupoints on your hand, leaving only a few Acupoints with similar flow rates to output Chakra."
"This way, the body doesn't have to regulate so many Acupoints at once."
"You can focus all your energy on a few key Acupoints."
"Oh, I see!" Hinata Ayane nodded.
While they were talking, Kumosuke on the stage had already been defeated.
Chiba Yuune expressionlessly continued to call the next person.
Time passed bit by bit, and even with Kumosuke's test as a precedent...
...very few people passed after going on stage.
Even though some people discovered the issue of one vs. two hands halfway through...
...and switched to single-hand output, they were still defeated.
"The failure rate is this high?"
Most of those who came for the test were Ninja Academy Students, and they hadn't put much effort into Chakra control.
But since this was used as a screening, it meant they truly wanted those with natural Chakra control strength.
In other words, it depended on talent!
This also showed that the Village didn't set aside many resources for training Medical Ninjas.
It wasn't like what Taro had said about vigorous training.
"Hyuga Aokawa, come up. Next, Seijin, get ready."
"It's your turn!" Hinata Ayane urged from the side.
Hyuga Aokawa nodded and walked to the table.
He extended his right hand, gripped the handle, and his body began to refine Chakra.
The Chakra was quickly transmitted to the glass through the metal strips.
Hyuga Aokawa tried it slightly and found that control wasn't very difficult.
With the Quincy Mark and Innate Full Spirit, his Chakra control was far ahead of his peers.
Seeing this, he boldly began to trace the pattern.
The Chakra lines on the glass suddenly became fluid and elegant.
But under powerful control, they followed the pattern perfectly.
"Holy crap! Whose subordinate is this?"
The people below the stage were extremely shocked.
After seeing so many people being eliminated...
...they already had an understanding of the difficulty of this test.
Suddenly, someone came along who drew so easily.
They were deeply shaken.
"Is the Hyuga Clan's Chakra control really this insane?"
"Are you stupid? It's the Gentle Fist, hitting Acupoints. How could their control not be strong?"
"But this is too exaggerated. I can't even draw as well as him with a pen."
Soon, Hyuga Aokawa followed the pattern and traced it onto the glass plate.
The computer monitor flashed and showed an "88".
The crowd below cheered again.
In the previous tests, most people scored in the twenties or thirties.
The few who passed barely scraped by with a bit over 40 points.
The highest score of 51 had already been amazing.
Now an 88 had appeared.
"88 points! This guy is too incredible."
"Yeah, he's too awesome."
"Getting so many points is useless; it would be nice if he gave me 20."
"Senior Aokawa is handsome and so capable; I really want to have his babies."
"Pah! How did a fangirl sneak in here!"
"Who are you calling a fangirl? Insulting a girl in public, watch out or I'll report you!"
"..."
