Mizuki's teasing words made Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba, who were present, laugh out loud.

"Should I say he is worthy of being a senior teacher after so many years? He looks serious, but he is very clear about his dirty tricks!"

Shuimu took a deep breath and began to observe a moment of silence for these candidates.

"Although Lady Tsunade said to let go and increase the elimination rate appropriately, isn't Ebisu going too far?" Shizune said with some concern, "If too few people pass, it will be embarrassing!"

To put it bluntly, in the first written test of the Chunin Exam, answering questions is secondary. The invigilators focus on whether the candidates can make the right choice when faced with a decision. In layman's terms, it is whether the ninja way they adhere to is in line with the mainstream moral values ​​of the ninja world.

In the last Chunin Exam, Morino Ibiki's torture-style questionnaire was looking for courage to face challenges and the ninja's awareness. As for the test questions, there was a mistake, and Uzumaki Naruto was the lucky one who passed with a blank paper. Except for the last question, all the previous activities were just to eliminate some ninjas with too weak strength.

In this Chunin Exam, Ebisu's second rule exists for this purpose. If you can't answer any of the so many questions, you should go back and brush up on your basics before trying again.

The difference in the test questions between the two actually shows the slight difference in philosophy between Ibiki, who is interrogating the cadres of the torture department, and Ebisu, the elite teacher.

Moreover, Ebisu is clearly deceiving here. It is true that there are three different test papers in the examination room, but there is absolutely no difference in difficulty. Ebisu said this to deliberately mislead the candidates. Because most people do not know whether the test papers in their hands are easy or difficult, they cannot judge the difficulty of the other two levels of test papers, and cannot evaluate the scores of their companions' answers.

This greatly deepened the anxiety in the hearts of every candidate. Unless there were similar means of investigation such as the Byakugan of the Hyuga family, they would be in an information island and could only speculate. Then the anxiety in their hearts would be infinitely magnified, and the possibility of choosing to protect themselves or to separate from their companions would be greater.

The first rule, which unilaterally emphasizes elitism, will make candidates mistakenly believe that the examiner does not value cooperation and trust among teams, and then they will be more inclined to make exceptions to the third rule.

"It seems that Ebisu has put in a lot of effort!" Mizuki said with a smile, "One link after another of psychological misleading is all to lure the candidates into a conservative way of thinking."

If a teammate's name was really written on the back of the test paper, then no matter what the considerations were, it would undoubtedly be an act of harming others for personal gain.

"The top three selected candidates advance? Ebisu is really ruthless." Mizuki shook his head and said, "He didn't say it, but he quietly raised the difficulty to this level. Muttsulini is really evil."

The teasing remarks made everyone in the room burst into laughter.

The top three selected are very ambiguous, not as rare as the first place. But with so many candidates, the probability of the top three is definitely very low. And this tangled ranking is not to the point where it is not worth the gamble, so there will inevitably be people who are lucky enough to write down the names of the "burdens" in their hearts for their own safety and extra security. Or those who think they are not strong enough and have no confidence write down their own names with the awareness of "sacrifice" to help stronger teammates.

In this predicament, only a Genin who is confident in his own abilities and the abilities of his teammates would not consider the exception to the third rule.

The cowards who have no self-awareness and no confidence, or the selfish ones who gamble with their teammates' luck to ensure their own advancement, sorry, they are doomed to fail the first round of written examination. The real conclusion is that as long as one person writes his name on the back of the last page of the test paper, he and his teammates will all be eliminated.

"Would you like to make a bet? After being tormented by Ebisu, will there be thirty groups left?"

"Shuimu, I heard that you're short on money lately, but you still have money to gamble?" Shancheng Qingye exposed Shuimu's shortcomings and said with some amusement, "Aren't you worried that your students will be eliminated?"

"How is it possible that you can't even pass this level? You underestimate my students."

Mizuki said nonchalantly.

"I don't know if you have noticed that Ebisu is a bad guy. This test question seems fair, but it actually favors candidates from the five major ninja villages headed by Konoha. The relatively sound ninja education system makes their written test ability stronger than other small ninja villages. In addition, the difficulty of cheating is increased, and the importance of their own quality becomes even more important. The advantage of ability, plus the confidence of the ninjas of the big countries, makes them less worried about the situation of being ranked behind. In this way, the probability of being eliminated by the third rule is lower."

"If you think about it this way, it's true." In fact, everyone had this premonition in their minds, and it was only after Shuimu explained it in detail that everyone understood it more clearly.

However, the original intention of the written test is to eliminate the weak. If you are not as skilled as others, you cannot blame the test for being too difficult.

Mizuki's bet was rejected by everyone, so they had to give up. They watched quietly as Ebisu announced the start of the exam, and then the candidates began their wild performance.

"You know, those invigilators must be feeling really bad. The cheating is so obvious, but they pretend not to see it. It feels like their IQ is being laughed at!"

Mizuki recalled that when he was the invigilator half a year ago, it was Kankuro who was in front of him. They didn't care about each other's face at all, and cheating didn't require much technical skills.

"As for Genin, that's it. You can't look at things from the perspective of a Jonin, otherwise no one will be qualified."

Twenty minutes is not a long time, and it will be over in a while. Shizune stood up and said, "Shuimu, Tianzang, it's our turn soon, let's get ready..."

The first round is just a test run. A truly capable ninja will not be stumped. Those who are eliminated are weaklings with weak wills. They can only go back to hone their skills before trying again. The prelude is over. Next comes the main theme. It is time for all kinds of monsters to make their debut!

…

Outside the examination room, Asuma Sarutobi was taking puffs of his cigarette, while Kakashi Hatake was reading the novel in his hand with a somewhat relaxed look.

"I didn't expect Ebisu to make such a big move this time. Shikamaru is not here, and I don't know if Shiho, Ino, and Choji can make it."

"The time is almost up, I can go and see the results."
