Mu Yue followed the Practical Exam rules and had everyone draw lots to decide the contestants, then offered critiques after each match.
"Your timing for the Transformation Jutsu was wrong, so it didn't have its intended effect. Your taijutsu is sloppy, and your punches are far too slow."
"How can a clone that obviously split off from you possibly confuse the enemy?"
"Your boxing is unrefined, your kicks lack power, your footwork is loose, and your reactions are slow. How are you supposed to defeat an enemy with taijutsu like that?"
Mu Yue did not hold back with his words. He could even be called harsh.
But Mu Yue was not talking nonsense either. Every issue he pointed out genuinely existed, and the students he criticized all lowered their heads in shame.
"I know your Monthly Exam results were very good. Whether in theory or practical scores, you were all ahead of the other classes. But you cannot become lax in your training because of that.
"My words may have been a little harsh during my critiques, so let me apologize to you first.
"But I truly am saying this for your own good. Both taijutsu and ninjutsu are important. If you do not train your taijutsu properly now, you will regret it when you fight enemies in the future." After critiquing everyone, Mu Yue sighed as he spoke.
"Mu Yue-sensei, I really haven't been slacking off. I spend just as much time on taijutsu as I do on ninjutsu. It's just that the Taijutsu Teacher isn't good at teaching. He's nowhere near as good as you, which is why I'm like this." Anko spoke somewhat aggrievedly.
"Yeah, I've been studying seriously too, but the Taijutsu Teacher makes everything so hard to understand." Izumo Kamizuki joined in the complaints.
