It was going to be a long day for the young Heibon’na as it was the day of her Genin Exam. She had underwent some new additional training and was able to learn more than she thought that would be possible due to the help, advice, and guidance she had received thus far. There was always something to learn and from her experience thus far, the village has so much to teach. Going through her normal routine in the morning, the average Shinobi looked forward to Seeing how the day would fair. She had not made many friends as a student, though she did feel like she had made a mentor in someways. There is never anything to confirm such a thought, but she still saw, however that even the worst mentors are still good teachers. It just means that they’re just bad examples And should be learned from that facet.

As she approached the Academy, Heibon’na went through her head, the technique she had learned thus far alongside going through all the review and information that had been provided to her. Considering there was a written portion of the exam and a practical portion, she knew that she needed to be sufficient in exams to become a Genin of Kirigakure no Sato. As one who is willing to learn and put in the extra effort, she felt like there is a little for her to be concerned about in terms of both portions of the overall exam. Should undergone multiple missions at this point, although many were simple tasks, and that level of understanding and expertise that she picked up from those missions, provided a lot of insight onto what she would need to be capable of, prepared for, and willing to accomplish once she obtained the new position. Her family was her motivation, and she was more than willing to put forth the effort to make it happen.

As she sat down and prepared for the written exam portion, the average student was squirming in their seat, unsure and anxious about the end result of the day’s affair. As much as Kirigakure no Sato’s history was bathed in blood for the exam in the past, it did not change the mentality of some students who were not ready for the concept and idea of what failure meant. Many students waited to take the examine so they’re ready and prepared. It was not uncommon for students to wait till they were about her own age to decide to make the call to try. Although she started late, Heibon’na thought that she was more writing in prepared than the average person in the room. She was still young and someways, though more of a greenhorn than anything.

With the instructor began passing out the written exam portion, the Generic Shinobi began to have some doubt as many students stared in disbelief and uncertainty. However, once the paper landed in front of her, a lot of that doubt disappeared in an instant. Although there is still much for her to learn, it looks like the Academy has taught her all that she needed to know by this point. Perhaps the time during those missions also helped provide more information than she initially would’ve had if she had not chosen to do so otherwise. She was glad, excited even, to know that the knowledge that she had gained through her short senior, there was enough and sufficient to be able to go through this written portion of the exam. There’s a few questions about the village’s history, a few more about simple protocol and procedure, and finally a batch of scenarios, and sit situations that one might encounter as a Genin. Overall, it was a simple question and answer process for her to go through rather quickly. Normally, she was not one of the first ones to be done however, in the situation she was. By surprise she was more than expecting to be towards the end of the pack rather than the front due to knowing that some other students may be quick to answer, and not think through theirs.

Once she turned in her paper, it was just a matter of waiting. She had to stay there when remain within the room until it was time for the practical portion of the exam. Many students remained quiet as they slowly started to turn in their exams. Some students fiddled with pencils and other writing utensils. Others were more concerned about the actual execution of their technique, and were mumbling to themselves. Heibon’na was quiet and silent, something she picked up a bit from the series of missions she undertook with Izu. Solely one by one their names were called to the front of the classroom for them to present their capacity as fledgling Shinobi. Having the last name, Ogawa, she was definitely not first list, nor was she last place promptly towards the middle of the pack. She was surprised to see the number of students they were having difficulties, or were just barely able to complete the clone and transformation techniques.. Although she hadn’t fully use them in practice, yet, she knew that there was going to be a multitude of times for such techniques would be beneficial for her own safety, and for the success of the mission. Without a mind once it was her turn, she to the front of the class as she was not flinching away, not anxiously stepping, nor worriedly wringing her hands. Such task was going to be an easy 1-2 for her after all that she had had experience thus far. upon request she performed the first seal activating the clone technique herself, creating a duplicate of herself in pristine form. From there she did the transformation technique, changing her appearance to that of the proctor. As quickly as she stood up and did it, she was dismissed just as quickly. She was successful and a new Genin of Kirigakure no Sato.
