The first private class without forehead protectors did not rely on everyone trusting each other
Iwahashi's first class had no opening ceremony.
Only a wooden sign hung outside the door.
Trial class in chakra safety.
No forehead protectors issued.
No mission qualifications provided.

Iwahashi's compensation, the venue fee, and the outside safety supervision fee were listed separately.
Students did not need to know the details of the teacher's private income.
At least they knew that the total they
