[Kurenai PoV]

“Ughhhh. My head hurts.” I grumbled as I woke up and supported my head. ​​

I got out of the bed and washed my face. However, as I got back to change my clothes, I was surprised to see a glass bottle, a cookie and a letter.

I opened the letter to read it and had various thoughts running in my mind. The letter said.

“Kurenai-san, there is medicine for a hangover in the bottle and the cookie is very delicious. I guarantee it. Also, please don’t worry about the payment of the sake. I already got something worth more than that. If there is something troubling you, I will be there to listen. ”

‘How can Asuma even suspect him? He is kind and caring.Also, what is the thing he is speaking of?’ I thought in my mind as I drank the medicine. I could feel my hangover getting better although it was just a little.

I went to change my clothes but couldn’t find one pair of my black-laced panties. I knew something was wrong so I went back to look at the letter. I saw that at the back there was another sentence.

“Kurenai-san, nice panties!”and at the end of the sentence, there was a drawing of him with his tongue out and a tee-hee expression.

*chuckle*

“This brat!” I muttered as I just shook my head while my ears were a bit red. I looked at the cookie and took a small bite.

‘Hmm, this tastes good.’ I thought as I continued to munch on the remaining cookie forgetting about the panties for a while.

[3rd PoV]

“Alright, let’s go to the chunin exam. Today is the first day so the first test will not be that hard. Follow me.” Kurenai said as Akihiko, Izumi and the others followed them.

When they arrived at the hall, they saw many people there.

“Are they all applicants?” Izumi asked as she didn’t think there would be this many people who applied for chunin exams.

“Yea.” Akihiko answered with a nod.

“Oh….. ok….” Izumi also nodded as they found a place to sit down.

They sat there for a few minutes before Izumi’s hand started moving towards Akihiko’s hand.

One second passed.

Two second passed.

Three second passed.

Izumi’s hand still hasn’t reached Akihiko since her hand was twitching a few centimeters away from Akihiko.

Akihiko just looked at this and grinned before moving his fingers and locking it against Izumi’s hands.

‘Oh, there is no censorship anymore.’ Akihiko thought.

Izumi.exe has stopped working again.

Currently, Izumi was having trouble processing what just happened.

‘He h-held my h-hand.’

Her face was getting redder and redder every second so Akihiko just let go of her hands.

“Are you ok?” Akihiko asked as he was getting more worried seeing her condition.

“I-I’m ok” Izumi said as she regained her bearings a bit.

“Alright then, let’s pass the chunin exam” Akihiko said as he patted her head softly.

“Ehehehe.” Izumi just grinned.

They waited for a few minutes, until the proctor for the first exam came.

“Alright everyone, for the first exam, you have to reach the end of the maze in one hour.”

Everyone hearing that thought that it would be easy to become chunin before their hopes were broken.

“There will be traps in the maze, poison gas, pit filled with stakes and ……” The proctor continued to talk about the traps and finished by saying.

“If there is anyone who wants to leave now, you can leave as when the exam starts, your lives could be in danger.”

A quarter of the applicants who had families or were afraid of death all walked out of the hall, thinking that they can just apply for another exam in the future.

“All right, the ones who stayed, follow me. I am going to lead you to the first examination.” The proctor said as he started to walk towards the large iron door.

All the remaining participants followed the proctor and were surprised by the size of the maze.

‘Wow!’ Most of the participants thought as the maze was larger in area and there were sandstorms brewing all over the maze.

“Haaa, this is easy.” I sighed and said while Izumi and Kagami looked at him strangely.

“Akihiko, I know you are strong, but there is poison gas and traps, you know.” Izumi said while Kagami also agreed.

“Haha, just trust me, I know the easiest way to pass the test.” Akihiko replied while puffing his chest up.

“Alright.” Izumi and Kagami just decided to put their trust in Akihiko.

” You can use anything you want. There will be no restrictions. You also cannot kill other participants. Now, you can start the exam.” The proctor said making most of the participants rushing through the entrance.

Akihiko didn’t move from the spot so the proctor asked him, “What are you doing, kid? Have you given up on the test?”

“I’m just a bit scared. Can you give me a handshake? Akihiko asked.

Izumi was looking at him strangely.

“*sigh* Alright.” The proctor shaked Akihiko’s hand for a second and made his way to the end of the tunnel as he needed to be there to check who passed the test.

Just a minute later, screams could be heard from the maze.

“AHHHHHH!” “I DON’T WANT TO DIEEEEE!” “MOMMMMMMYYY!”

“Akihiko, aren’t we moving yet?” Izumi asked as she was confused to what Akihiko was trying to do.

“Izumi, during times like this, you need to be lazy. Do you remember what I use to teleport from place to place?”

“Yea, *gasp* don’t tell me you put a seal on the proctor.” Izumi asked as she now connected the dots.

Akihiko just nodded and said

“Sometimes, my genius. It generates gravity.”

They just laid on the grass for around 30 minutes, before Akihiko finally decided to finish the test.

“Alright, Izumi, Kagami, hold tight.” Akihiko said as he carefully held Izumi in one of his arms while putting Kagami on his shoulder like a potato sack.

‘Hiraishin’ He thought although he shouted, “Instant Transmission.”

He arrived at the end of the maze and acted like he was tired while everyone was looking at them while thinking

‘Motherfoker, we risked our lives to get here, while you just teleported here.’

“Haha, I never thought this would work.” Akihiko muttered under his breath although Kagami heard it.

“Hey, Akihiko. Was this the first time you tested this?”

‘Yep, I only teleported one people with me at most.” Akihiko said while smiling.

They all forgot the proctor who was currently under Akihiko, Kagami and Izumi.

*cough*

After a dry cough from the proctor, Akihiko and the trio got up from the proctor and said, “We passed the test, right?”

“Ummmmm, according to the rules, I said that you could use anything so you guys passed.”

“See, I told you guys.” Akihiko replied weakly as he nudged his elbow against Kagami and Izumi.

Izumi knew what Akihiko thought and supported him making him look weak.

“Tomorrow, there will be the second exam of the chunin exam. Please prepare and I wish you luck.”

In his mind, he thought, ‘What Jutsu did he use? Whatever technique he used, it puts a strain on his body.’

He walked towards Akihiko and asked “Kid, you all right?”

“Yea, just tired.” Akihiko replied looking as weak and tired as he could.

“All right then.”

=====

I know, it is anti-climatic.

But I like this much better.

I mean, why waste your strength when you can just teleport to the location using Hiraishin.

Also for the second test, tell me your ideas

Anyways, thank you for reading and drop some stones.

Have a nice day.
