A Woman Among Females, a Woman Among Women

The instructor of First-Year Class A at the Ninja Academy was Ikkaku Unno.

He had graduated from the Ninja Academy in Konoha Year 14 and was now a Special Jōnin.

Influenced by Toji's reform ideals, the Ninja Academy had implemented elite education.

The standards for Class A's teaching staff had risen accordingly. The instructors had been changed from ordinary Chunin to higher-ranking Special Jōnin. Due to the limited number of Jōnin, only Class A received such treatment for now.

Letting a precious resource like a Special Jōnin teach ninja reserves was something only wealthy Konoha could afford in the Shinobi World.

Ikkaku Unno looked at the gathering of outstanding students below him, especially Maki Zenin sitting alone at the window-side desk in the last row, and could not help taking a deep breath to steady himself.

The Hokage—

Teaching the child of his superior's superior—

At this moment, he could already foresee a teaching career filled with overwhelming pressure.

Ikkaku Unno had no great ambitions, nor did he hold excessive expectations for his unborn child. He only hoped that his child would inherit his job in the future and secure an iron rice bowl at the Ninja Academy.

Now, it seemed that if he wanted to keep that iron rice bowl easily, he could not teach Class A. The pressure was simply too great.

Ikkaku Unno cleared his throat. "Now then, everyone, let's do a simple self-introduction."

"I'll go first. I'm your teacher, Ikkaku Unno. I like reading, I hate war, and my dream is to raise my unborn child into an outstanding ninja."

After saying that, he naturally arranged, "The next person will be the student ranked first in the entrance exam."

The previously noisy classroom instantly fell silent. Everyone knew who had ranked first in the entrance assessment.
