The graduates, still unaware that Teacher Madara would torment them relentlessly for the rest of their lives, were enjoying their last taste of freedom to the fullest.
Burning homework with Fire Release was merely an appetizer in their feast of pranks, and scribbling on the walls was just a minor trick.
