Chiba Yuune finally showed a hint of a smile upon seeing this.
She had finally waited for the person she was looking for.
"88 points, a passing grade!"
She announced the result publicly, feeling refreshed as she wrote 88 in the column for Hyuga Aokawa on the form.
Hyuga Aokawa, however, frowned when he saw the result.
He was certain that his Chakra control had followed the pattern strictly; any discrepancy shouldn't have been that large.
But since he only got an 88, it meant there were details he hadn't noticed.
He formed a hand seal with one hand and activated the Byakugan.
In an instant, his vision became much clearer.
Looking at the whiteboard again, the details he hadn't seen before all surfaced.
It was because of the distance between his hand and the whiteboard.
Without the Byakugan active, he hadn't noticed some of the finer details on the pattern at all.
This led to several minor errors appearing while he was drawing.
The people below saw Hyuga Aokawa suddenly activate his Byakugan and were confused about what he was doing.
Hadn't he already passed the exam?
Why activate the Byakugan now?
It wasn't until they saw Hyuga Aokawa place his hand back on the handle.
Only then did they realize that Hyuga Aokawa actually wanted to take the test a second time.
"No way? He's not satisfied with an 88? How are the rest of us supposed to live?"
"Yeah, is he really going to show off like this!"
"What do you know? Senior Aokawa is striving for perfection; that's called being ambitious."
"You fanboy, you're just blindly praising him. Shut up!"
"You bastard, I'm definitely going to report you for insulting girls."
This time, Hyuga Aokawa completed the tracing of the pattern even faster than before.
98!
The final score appeared on the computer display.
"98 points! He's a monster!"
"Comparisons really are odious; it's enough to drive someone mad."
"Exactly, how can the gap between people be this ridiculous?"
A chorus of wails and complaints rose from the crowd below.
Beside him, Chiba Yuune's eyes were also wide open.
Even though this was just a Chakra control test for beginners, this was indeed too absurd.
After all, when this machine was first built...
Lady Tsunade had tested it herself and only scored a 96.
He was two points higher than Lady Tsunade.
Seeing Hyuga Aokawa looking at her, she slightly collected her wandering thoughts and announced publicly:
"98 points, a passing grade!"
She then wrote the number 98 down on the paper.
Hyuga Aokawa was also very satisfied with this result.
Since he had decided to spend some time as a Medical Ninja, he naturally had to show his best side.
That way, if his superiors ever thought about discarding him, there would be more weight on his side of the scale.
He removed his right hand from the handle and turned to leave the stage.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that he had finally finished.
"Teacher, he cheated! He used the Byakugan!"
A voice of protest suddenly rang out from the crowd.
Everyone turned their gaze toward a person wearing a black robe.
That black-robed person tried to hide his figure, but the people around him scattered with a 'whoosh'.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the black-robed person looked a bit awkward.
Hyuga Aokawa also looked over. Under the vision of the Byakugan, he discovered that this black-robed person was actually... Uchiha Tsuyoshi?
He had always thought it was someone from the Aburame clan.
Why are you, an Uchiha, wearing a black robe?
"It's Uchiha Tsuyoshi, isn't it?" Chiba Yuune exposed him with a single sentence.
"There are no members of the Aburame clan on the list. Only one person named Uchiha Tsuyoshi hasn't shown his face yet. That's you, right?"
"The exam requires identity verification. Please remove your black robe."
Seeing this, Uchiha Tsuyoshi had no choice but to remove the robe and reveal his face.
"It really is someone from the Uchiha. I didn't expect them to come and learn Medical Ninjutsu."
"Yeah, don't they all take pride in combat?"
Uchiha Tsuyoshi blushed as the crowd discussed him.
He hurriedly changed the subject: "Teacher, he cheated. Using the Byakugan shouldn't count."
Chiba Yuune glanced at him: "You can use the Sharingan for the test too."
"I... I haven't awakened my eyes yet!"
"Then come back for the exam once you've awakened them."
"How can you say that!"
"If you can't do it, then shut up!"
Uchiha Tsuyoshi had no choice but to back down.
Chiba Yuune gave him a side-eye and then continued:
"Chengren, come up for the exam. Mitsuru Kurai, get ready."
Seeing that his results were valid, Hyuga Aokawa nodded to Chiba Yuune and stepped down to vacate the spot.
"Aokawa, you're so amazing!"
As soon as he came down, Hinata Ayane surrounded him and said happily.
She then asked, "Why didn't you use that technique you taught me?"
"I didn't need to!" Hyuga Aokawa waved his hand.
He then mimicked Hinata Ayane's proud expression:
"Chakra control is something I learned when I was four. My grandmother even praised me as a Genius!"
Hearing this, Hinata Ayane's fair little face and neck immediately flushed red.
She gave a light hmph and hammered her small fists against Hyuga Aokawa's chest a few times.
"You're making fun of me..."
"I remembered wrong. It was my grandfather who praised me."
"You're still saying it!"
"..."
Time passed bit by bit, and Uchiha Tsuyoshi and Hinata Ayane also took their turns on stage for the exam.
In the end, Uchiha Tsuyoshi passed with 52 points.
Hinata Ayane, using the technique Hyuga Aokawa had taught her, passed the test with 63 points.
As soon as she came down, the crowd swarmed around her, asking her to help them with the Pressure Point Technique.
They were stopped by Chiba Yuune.
Using one's own Kekkei Genkai to pass was one thing.
But what was with having others help?
She shouted back the crowd surrounding Hinata Ayane and continued the exam.
Hyuga Aokawa, however, was drawn to the text appearing before his eyes.
[With your absolute Chakra control, you have refreshed people's perceptions. You have gained Favor.]
[Elementary Medical Knowledge *1]
[Healing Technique (Entry-Level) *1]
[energy crystal *30]
The Healing Technique had arrived, along with 30 energy crystals.
Hyuga Aokawa was extremely happy.
He had worked himself to death just to get 20 crystals from specifically hunting bandits, and it had even delayed several days of physical training.
Today, just by showing off, he got 30 crystals and even gained Medical Ninjutsu and knowledge.
As expected, he should stick to his own pace.
The exam was soon completed.
Of the vast, swarming crowd on the entire third floor of the Hospital...
In the end, less than one in ten passed the exam.
After it ended, they were diverted once again.
Those who had not activated their Yang Release Chakra had to undergo activation training.
Those who had already activated it were assigned to the next stage to learn the Nature Transformation of Yang Release Chakra.
It was only then that Hyuga Aokawa learned...
That everyone actually has the Yang Release Chakra attribute.
It's just that some are in an active state, while others are in an inactive state.
After testing, Uchiha Tsuyoshi was in an inactive state.
Hyuga Aokawa and Hinata Ayane were in an already activated state.
The two of them were assigned to the Nature Transformation class.
As it turned out, the teacher discovered that Hyuga Aokawa very quickly mastered the Nature Transformation of Yang Release.
So he skipped this stage again and entered the Medical Ninjutsu learning stage.
Then the teacher discovered that this Hyuga Aokawa learned the Healing Technique after seeing it only once.
His medical knowledge was also incredibly solid.
This made Konoha Hospital overjoyed.
Because medical resources were so tight, the Hospital had always treated women like men and men like beasts of burden.
Every day when everyone went home, they felt as if their bodies had been hollowed out.
Some who had been married for years didn't even have the energy to have children.
