Chapter 73: Vacation Training Begins

【Disciple Uchiha Shisui worked hard and achieved a perfect score in the academic assessment, earning rewards: Chakra +300, Ninjutsu Proficiency Scroll】

【Disciple Might Guy worked hard and achieved an excellent score in the academic assessment, earning rewards: Chakra +250】

【Disciple Uchiha Obito worked hard and achieved a good score in the academic assessment, earning rewards: Chakra +200】

With the rewards from the final exam settled, Muyue's total chakra volume increased a bit again.

【Name: Habu Muyue】

【Chakra: 】

"It seems only double first place can get the proficiency scroll reward." Muyue thought as he looked at the three reward messages from the system.

Except for Shisui, who is already top of the grade with no room for improvement, Might Guy and Obito's rewards were slightly higher than last time.

Last time, both Might Guy and Obito only received 150 chakra; this time, Might Guy got an extra 100 chakra, and Obito got an extra 50 chakra.

Might Guy and Obito had indeed made a lot of progress, not only in practical combat but also in theoretical scores, which had greatly improved, now able to score over fifty.

Although the Ninjutsu Proficiency Scroll is a good item, Muyue did not intend for Might Guy and Obito to invest too much time in theory to aim for full marks.

Because their learning efficiency was simply too low.

Even with his frequent extra tutoring, Might Guy and Obito only scored in the fifties; even Anko could easily get full marks.

To get Might Guy and Obito full marks, Muyue felt he would have to stop all training, teach them himself, and have them study and do problems every day — only then would it be possible.

But that wasn't worth it; it was better to train normally, get stronger faster, and let Muyue obtain more rewards.

"Hehe, Muyue-sensei, about the reward you mentioned earlier..." After dealing with the two troublemakers, Anko walked up to Muyue a bit sheepishly.

"You regressed and still have the nerve to ask for a reward?" Muyue tapped Anko's little head with two fingers.

"Not at all, I'm still second in the practical exam grade! Shisui is too unfair, I simply can't beat him." Anko tried to bluff her way through.

"I mean your theory score regressed, two points lower than last time." Muyue pointed out the fact; he remembered everyone's scores in the class clearly.

"Ah, it's all Kotetsu and Izumo's fault." Anko wished she could turn around and punch those two schemers once each for tricking her into not reviewing.

"Go ahead and eat this. If you regress again next time, there won't be any." In the end, Muyue still gave Anko the dango she wanted most.

He had bought it on the way to school; everyone in the class had a share.

"Muyue-sensei is the best!" Anko took the dango and immediately began singing Muyue's praises.

The atmosphere in Class 1-1 was quite good. After seeing their results and getting their test papers, they didn't leave but chatted together in the classroom until noon.

At noon, Muyue went to the lecture hall with the other teachers for a meeting.

The ninja school teachers also had meetings, though not many. This meeting was mainly to summarize the teaching work for the semester and then announce the list of excellent teachers.

For Muyue, this meeting was not very meaningful. He was different from ordinary ninja school teachers and wasn't interested in the Excellent Teacher award or bonus.

However, unexpectedly, the Third Hokage showed up at this meeting.

According to Iketani Isamu and Ueda Aya, this meeting was usually chaired by the head of the teacher group.

"Third Hokage-sama." Muyue greeted the Third respectfully.

The Third looked at Muyue, nodded with a smile.

Since he hadn't been very busy lately, the Third had taken a look at Class 1-1's results. He was shocked by what he saw.

Last time's results were already the best in the ninja school, but this time Class 1-1's exam scores were even better.

The average theory score reached an astonishing 81 points, which would be an excellent score in other classes — meaning Class 1-1's average was excellent.

The average practical exam score was 24 points, also an astonishing result, because the normal class average was around 16 points.

The Third looked more closely and found that Class 1-1 scored very high in Ninjutsu — no one in the class scored below 8 — followed by Hand Seals.

Muyue had led such an excellent class, and since the Hokage himself hadn't appeared at the school meeting for a long time, the Third came over.

Perhaps because the Third was present, the meeting proceeded quickly without any incidents.

"The following is the list of excellent teachers for this semester: Habu Muyue..."

Muyue's name was listed first.

"Teacher Muyue, as expected, you made it." Ueda Aya quietly congratulated.

Although Muyue had no ripples in his heart, he responded with a gentle smile to his colleague's congratulations.

"Iketani Isamu."

"I am also an Outstanding Teacher!" Iketani Isamu showed a surprised expression.

The students in Iketani Isamu's class took the top two spots in the grade, so he guessed he might get the Outstanding Teacher award, but when he actually received it, he still felt surprised and delighted.

This was the Outstanding Teacher award—only four per semester, and he had never received it once in several years of teaching.

"Damn it, why don't the students in my class suddenly break out?" Kimura Sugito felt envious.

He wasn't envious of Muyue getting the Outstanding Teacher award, because he thought it would be strange if Muyue weren't an Outstanding Teacher.

But as for what level Iketani Isamu was, didn't he know? Being able to get this Outstanding Teacher award was entirely thanks to that Might Guy and Obito.

"And you were complaining earlier that Might Guy and Uchiha Obito were dead lasts; this Outstanding Teacher award is all thanks to them." Ueda Aya was also very envious.

Back when Iketani Isamu took over Class 2 of Year 4, everyone was consoling him, but in the end, the final term actually saw such a reversal.

"I was blind and didn't recognize true genius." Iketani Isamu admitted that he had underestimated Might Guy and Obito.

"When the bonus comes in, I'll treat you all to drinks. Teacher Muyue, you must come. You have a share in this Outstanding Teacher award." Iketani Isamu said cheerfully, since Muyue had helped him substitute too many times.

"I can if I have time." Muyue nodded with a smile.

"I want to give a special commendation here to Teacher Hanyu. The students in Class 1 of Year 1 have achieved amazing results under his guidance." Hiruzen Sarutobi began to speak.

Then Hiruzen Sarutobi read out the various results of Muyue's class and said that everyone should learn from an outstanding teacher like Muyue and cultivate the next generation well for Konoha.

After being commended by the Third Hokage, Muyue could feel all the teachers' eyes on him. Perhaps because he had a good image, he didn't encounter any venomous jealous stares; everyone was friendly.

"Muyue, you're doing very well. Keep it up." After the meeting, Hiruzen Sarutobi patted Muyue on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"Lord Third Hokage, I will do my best to teach the students." Muyue repeated his answer from the principal's office.

The Third Hokage laughed twice after hearing that, looking in a good mood.

The end of the meeting also meant that Muyue and the other teachers were entering their vacation.

Receiving the Outstanding Teacher award and being commended by the Third Hokage did not affect Muyue's heart, but the fact that Might Guy hadn't triggered a training mission for the past two days made Muyue a bit puzzled.

Muyue probed indirectly and found that Might Guy hadn't fought Kakashi yet, so he was relieved.

Kakashi might have gone on a mission; Might Guy hadn't been able to find him these past two days.

Because the vacation had officially started, Muyue told his disciples about his vacation special training plan.
