I Can Become Stronger Just By Teaching

"Please invite candidates No. 37, Isamu Akasaki, and No. 38, Uchiha Shisui."

Isamu Akasaki was stunned for a moment when he heard that his opponent was Shisui.

There is no doubt that Shisui is the opponent that none of the students from Class 1 want to encounter.

It's because Shisui is simply too strong.

In the last exam, Shisui secured first place in the class and the highest grade in a dominant manner. Even Anko, who ranked second in the grade, could only be crushed in front of him.

The score for the actual combat test is determined by your performance during the battle. If you are instantly killed, the invigilator will not be able to assess your performance, resulting in a lower score.

However, now that Shisui had been drawn as his opponent, Isamu Akasaki could only admit that he was unlucky and enter the examination room.

After Makoto announced the start of the exam, Isamu Akasaki didn't pay attention to anything else and directly used the Three Body Technique to demonstrate his proficiency.

"This student has a good understanding of the exam scoring rules," Aya Ueda nodded and said, not finding anything wrong with Isamu Akasaki.

Shisui watched Isamu Akasaki's performance silently, and when he felt it was nearly over, he threw out two shurikens to dispel the clones, then rushed forward and knocked Isamu Akasaki down with two punches.

"There is a significant difference in strength between them," Aya Ueda couldn't see any change in Shisui's strength compared to last time.

Isamu Akasaki's strength differed so much from Shisui's that it was hard to ignore.

When the battle between Student No. 39 and Student No. 40 ended, Aya Ueda completed the first round of scoring.

She glanced casually and noticed that among the forty students, not a single one scored below 8 points at Ninjutsu. The average score was exceptionally high.

"After this exam, Makoto, I guess you will receive praise from Sandaime-sama again. You will probably be summoned for questioning when these scores are reported," Aya Ueda said jokingly.

As the battles continued, students inevitably faced off against friends. Kamizuki Izumo tearfully eliminated Kotetsu, and Anko tearfully eliminated Izumo.

"Hahaha, Kotetsu, your skills at taunting your opponents aren't good at all," Kamizuki Izumo, who had defeated his friend, masked his sadness with a smile and comforted his close friend.

Kotetsu:...

He vowed to practice every day during the holidays, and in the next semester, he would definitely defeat Kamizuki Izumo to regain his honor.

Zuko, who, in the midst of his own adventures, had briefly paused in his relentless pursuit of the Avatar.

"That's rough buddy"

Then, with a bewildered expression, he shrugged and continued on his quest for the Avatar, still on his path to regain his own honor.

"Hahaha, how could two ninjutsu talents be the opponents of my genius, Anko?" Anko, who had entered the combat finals, stood with her hands on her hips, brimming with pride.

The two looked at each other and decided to confront Anko on the day when the theoretical results were revealed.

"Candidate Mitarai Anko and candidate Uchiha Shisui, please enter the examination venue." The examination entered its final stage.

Aya Ueda watched the battle seriously. Anko had been the second-highest scorer in the last exam, ranking just below Shisui in terms of strength. She should be able to challenge Shisui further.

Anko knew that dealing with Shisui would be difficult, so she used the Confuse Technique right at the beginning of the battle.

But this time, she made some changes. She first created seven Shisui clones, and when the clones interfered with Shisui, she used transformation techniques to assume Shisui's appearance and then created another clone that resembled herself.

However, Shisui was not as easily deceived as ordinary students. Despite numerous illusions constantly interfering with his vision, he maintained focus on the real Anko. Using a teleportation technique, he reached Anko and defeated her.

"The teleportation technique... I guess I'll need to place him in the fourth grade for the actual combat test to see more of his abilities," Aya Ueda thought to herself.

The battle between Shisui and Anko was also one-sided, but Shisui displayed even more of his capabilities, securing the first place.

When Makoto and Ueda Aya returned to the office together, they encountered Ikari Isamu, who was exclaiming in the hallway.

"Why on earth are Might Gai and Uchiha Obito so strong?" Isamu Isamu was puzzled. He hadn't witnessed the two of them competing in the class.

This time he was also selected to be the invigilator of his own class. After observing Might Gai and Uchiha Obito's performances throughout the day, he felt that even Hyuga Kento might not be able to defeat them.

Ikari Isamu found it quite perplexing why these two renowned individuals were so powerful. Could it be that he was still an undiscovered teaching master?

Ikari Isamu, who had a few speculations, quickly dismissed this notion because he had a third-year class as well, and the overall level of that class could only be described as average.

Ikari Isamu spotted Makoto and Ueda Aya and shared his thoughts with them.

"Maybe the two of them have accumulated a lot of experience?" Ueda Aya said uncertainly.

"No matter what, it's a positive thing for students to be strong," Makoto said with a smile.

Ikari Isamu agreed with Makoto's perspective. Regardless of why they were performing exceptionally well this semester, the school's rewards were well-deserved.

...

On the third day, the grade-level practice began.

The grading teacher for the grade-level practice was randomly selected by the grade's invigilator teacher. Aya Ueda was selected, while Makoto was not.

Nevertheless, because he was a first-grade teacher, Makoto visited the venue and observed for a while.

After Aya Ueda completed the initial round of scoring, she noted that the top two representatives from some classes were not as strong as the few ninjutsu talents in Makoto's class.

"The limit of two people per class needs to be reconsidered. If it weren't for this restriction, there would be at least six students from each class among the top eight in their grade," Aya Ueda thought to herself.

She believed that such a rule was somewhat unfair to a class like the first-year class, which was consistently exceptional. Although it was strong enough, there was no opportunity for class participation in the grade-level competition.

Makoto left after observing the first round and headed to the fourth-grade practical examination room.

What concerned Makoto was the situation in the fourth grade.

Both Might Gai and Obito had set their sights on achieving first place in the training mission.

After two months of intensive training and improvement, Makoto anticipated generous rewards from the training mission's settlement, and he looked forward to it eagerly.

Upon arriving at the venue, the fourth-grade students had just completed the first round and were advancing from eight to four.

"Please invite candidate No. 1, Hyuga Kento, and candidate No. 4, Might Gai."

As the invigilator's voice rang out, the onlookers began to quietly discuss the match. Judging from the results of the previous exam, this battle was undeniably the highlight of this year's combat exam, pitting the first and second-place finishers from the previous exam against each other.
