Without uttering a word, the proctor Genin escorted the three Yukigakure out of the examination hall.

No matter how much they shout and yell, they can't change the fact that they've already been eliminated.

One wave subsides, another rises.

The invigilators, who had just seen off three candidates, hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath when they were given another task.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

More than twenty Kunai or Shuriken were thrown from their hands almost simultaneously.

Thump, thump, thump...

More than twenty exam papers were now stared at on the table.

The candidates were immediately startled, because one of them, either as a teammate or as individuals, had violated the second rule that Yūhi Shinku had just mentioned.

Do not damage the answer sheet.

Signing your name on the exam paper is also against the rules.

"Number 17... Number 65... Number 102..."

With Yūhi Shinku announced the list of more than twenty eliminated candidates.

All the candidates still in the exam pool now understand that they will not be eliminated as long as they do not break the rules.

Sasame Yūma violated the first rule, which is not to talk to the examiners. The next twenty or so violated the third rule, which is not to damage the answer sheets.

Signing your name is also a form of damaging an exam paper.

Sitting in his seat, Miya stared at the expressionless Yūhi Shinku. He had already seen through the purpose of this exam.

The test assesses intelligence analysis skills and teamwork; the most important thing now is to find the exam questions.

After all, this is an exam, and to answer the questions, you first need to know the questions.

However, for Miya, teamwork is out of the question, because he has no teammates.

"Pakura, Gansanji, I now know the main purpose of this exam."

Sato said confidently.

Pakura turned around and nodded to Sato, indicating that he understood. Only Gansanji remained dumbfounded, nervously staring at the examiners around him, afraid that they might make a move.

"Gansanji, don't be nervous! The rules only state that you can't talk to the examiners, but they don't prohibit talking to each other."

With a calm expression, Pakura spoke to Gansanji.

"Is that so?"

Gansanji's brain seemed to freeze for a moment, and he touched his head sheepishly.

Although Pakura, Sato, and Gansanji's conversation was soft, it was clearly audible to everyone in the quiet examination hall.

They all turned to look, and seeing that the three had not been eliminated, many other candidates began to take action.

In an instant, the sounds of conversation between squads and ninjas from the same village filled the examination hall with lively chatter.

In a classroom in another building of the examination hall, a group of Jonin from other villages gathered together. Through a crystal ball the size of a basketball, they could see clearly what was happening inside the examination hall.

Their faces remained calm, but inwardly they were grumbling.

"Is this the level of difficulty for Konoha's Chunin Ninja Exams?"

"They're really strict with the Genin 're participating in this Chunin Ninja Exams."

At first, they didn't know the exam questions, and even after Yūhi Shinku announced the start of the exam, they still couldn't guess what the questions would be.

Even now, some of them still haven't seen through it.

"You three, keep it up!"

Among the group of Jonin, one wearing Jonin Yukigakure Forehead Protector secretly cheered on the village's lone squad.

Time passed, second by second.

What exactly were the exam questions?

Scanning the anxious expressions on the faces of the other candidates, Miya was still trying to guess the exam questions.

"Kotomi, I think I know the test questions. Here, take my test paper."

Kengo looked at the pensive Miya, and the anger that had been building up inside him erupted. When he caught a glimpse of the test paper on the table out of the corner of his eye, it was as if he had just thought of something, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"Kengo, what are you going to do?"

Kotomi instinctively took Kengo's exam paper, looking at Kengo who had stood up with a puzzled expression.

Click click click.

Kengo clenched his fist and replied with a fierce expression:

"I'll give it a try, that Konoha genius you mentioned."

After saying that, he walked towards Miya.

"Kengo?"

Behind Kengo, Kotomi called out anxiously in a low voice.

But Kengo paid no heed!

"Um?"

Sensing someone approaching, Miya turned around and saw Kengo angrily approaching.

"Trouble has come knocking, hmph!"

Seeing this, Yūhi Shinku, who remained expressionless, snorted inwardly at Miya, her red eyes flashing continuously.

This is going to be interesting!

Many candidates noticed the situation and looked over.

"You don't have any teammates, right!"

"In that case, let me end your Chunin Ninja Exams journey!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kengo quickly reached out and grabbed the exam paper on Miya's desk.

In an instant, Miya understood Kengo's plan.

At the same time, those around him also understood what Kengo was about to do.

However, they did not act immediately, but continued to observe.

But it was easy to tell from their gleaming eyes that they were ready to make their move.

Once...

Despair!

You're overthinking it!

Kengo's outstretched hand was firmly grasped by Miya, and then...

"Ah..."

Kengo let out a bloodcurdling scream.

"Kengo."

"Kengo..."

Kengo's two teammates, Kotomi and Sōtarō, saw Kengo's arm being twisted by Miya and shouted in concern, rushing towards Miya.

However, they never forgot to protect the exam papers.

Bang!

Miya punched Kengo in the face again, sending him flying, and ripped off his right hand at the same time.

"Kengo."

Sōtarō caught Kengo, who had been sent flying backwards and was missing an arm, and glared angrily at Miya.

"Um?"

"Something's not right!"

Grasping Kengo's severed arm, Miya noticed a clue.

Although the severed arm in his hand looked and felt so real, Miya immediately noticed it when he used his Chakra.

His own Chakra was disturbed.

"Genjutsu? Uncle Shinku, as expected of you!"

Looking up at the Yūhi Shinku, Miya's face broke into a radiant smile.

Sōtarō and Kotomi, who were focused on Miya, did not notice that the other examinees had already made them their targets.

The atmosphere was tense, ready to erupt at any moment.

"Let's do it."

Someone shouted something, and the entire examination room instantly descended into chaos.

The conflict between Kengo and Miya did not provoke any action from the examiners, who also believed that the exam question was about damaging someone else's exam paper.

"Go to hell!"

"Go to hell!"

In just a short while, more than a dozen candidates' exam papers were destroyed, and several people simultaneously charged towards Miya's side.

Who can blame Miya for being all alone!

It looks like a soft persimmon.
