Chapter 26: The Homeroom Teacher's Revenge - The White Eyed Princess of Konoha

### Chapter 26: The Homeroom Teacher's Revenge "A class full of these little troublemakers is driving me insane!" The unnamed teacher was indeed at his wit's end, unable to lash out. Every student in the class had substantial backgrounds, and to top it off, each possessed extraordinary talent. Whether it was exams or regular quizzes, these so-called troublemakers consistently lived up to the elite class’s reputation. Teaching such a class was a blessing, yet also a torment. The blessing was the ability to boast confidently about his class’s students to colleagues and friends, predicting their future successes. Who knew? The next Hokage might just come from his class. The torment, however, lay in how his dignity as a teacher was constantly trampled by these brats. Yet, the unnamed teacher couldn’t confide these frustrations to anyone else, for the sake of maintaining his 'teacher' facade. Frustrated! Exhausted! As the class ended, the discipline was in shambles. A group of girls surrounded Sasuke, staring intently as if he was the most fascinating thing to watch. Hinata had a sudden insight. In the future, Sasuke managed to maintain his composure at all times, except when faced with the intimidating presence of Zabuza and Orochimaru. Was this resilience honed during his time at the ninja school? Hinata could swear, with a hand on her heart—or on Ino's and Sakura's if need be—that if surrounded by a crowd of boys every day, she would have long unleashed her fury. Hinata slid her book into her bag, unable to concentrate amidst the chaos. The teacher was, unfortunately, irresponsible. 'Ding ding ding—' The bell signaled the start of class as the mischievous children returned to their seats. The unnamed teacher pushed the door open, entering with a stack of papers under his arm. Hinata glanced up at the teacher... Huh? Another glance… What was that? A stack of tests? The unnamed teacher smirked coldly. Did they really think he, an adult, couldn't handle a bunch of little rascals? Today, they would witness the frightening power of 'teacher'. With a combination of answering questions, completing exams, and taking tests, even the naughtiest of students would have to settle down! 'Thud!' He slammed the hefty stack of papers onto the desk, surveying the room to see every student with a 'dumbfounded' expression. It subtly fed his sense of triumph. Seeing their discomfort made him feel better. Today, he would show them the authority of a 'teacher'! "The semester is almost at an end, and over the next three days, we'll conduct preliminary tests to help you consolidate your knowledge before the final exams." Three straight days of testing! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ "First row, help distribute these papers!" The moment he finished speaking, only Sasuke remained in the first row; everyone else had shifted to the second. Sasuke, unnamed teacher: "..." The unnamed teacher roared, "Second row, please assist in distributing the papers!" Eventually, the tests ended up in the hands of the students. Hinata checked the time—already past ten, and lunch break was an hour and a half away. Looking at the volume of questions, not even two hours seemed sufficient! Damn it! This lousy teacher either wanted to keep them late or ensure everyone failed. Many questions were so challenging they were surely beyond the capabilities of these soon-to-be-graduates. Hinata sighed but saw no alternative other than picking up her pen to start answering. Just then, Shikamaru leaned in and whispered, "Hinata, there's no way to finish in an hour and a half. You start from the back; I'll start from the front." Brilliant! Hinata flashed an 'OK' sign, impressed by Shikamaru's quick thinking. He truly was the future strategist of Konoha, rapidly devising a counterstrategy. Her mood lifted in an instant. For every policy, there was a counter. It was just about doing the tests! How difficult could it be? Scratch, scratch, scratch... Time flew by during the test. Hinata soon finished her part and glanced up at the teacher, who was vigilantly eyeing each student, as if afraid someone might cheat. "Byakugan!" 'Bang!' The unnamed teacher slammed his fist on the desk, roaring, "Hinata! If you dare use Byakugan to cheat, you'll score zero!" Hinata: o(￣ヘ￣o#) The Chunin exam was a lie... Can't even use Byakugan to play cards! What use was this Byakugan? Frightened, Hinata instantly deactivated her Byakugan, lowering her head, not daring to speak. "What now?" Hinata whispered to Shikamaru for advice. Sitting straight like a perfect student, Shikamaru’s shadow secretly connected to hers, helping her complete the front half of the answers. The Nara clan's jutsu proved incredibly useful, stealthily keeping the teacher oblivious. But what about Shikamaru himself? The Shadow Technique couldn’t help Shikamaru see Hinata’s answers! Shikamaru whispered, "Use a mirror!" Awesome! Hinata discreetly gave a thumbs-up, propping her test paper up to shield her face, pretending to review it while slipping a mirror out to pass answers to Shikamaru. Today’s luck indeed smiled upon little Choji, seated between Hinata and Shikamaru, completing the entire test with their help. 'Ding ding ding—' The bell rang, yet the unnamed teacher sneered, "Anyone who hasn't finished the test can’t leave. Keep working! Don't think just because it's a test you can shrug it off. Once your grades are out, I'll be notifying your parents." Telling the parents! The second trick up a teacher’s sleeve, a surefire tactic. Hinata: "Hmph! I’m done!" Shikamaru: "I’m done too!" Choji: "I... I’m done as well!" Hinata confidently strode to the front to place her test on the desk. Hmph! Hinata cast an indifferent glare at the teacher and strutted out, with Shikamaru and Choji dutifully following in her wake. Let's see you try again! I don't believe you can grade these tests without getting tired. Let’s see what's more exhausting: us doing tests or you crafting and grading them. You better keep at it until the world ends! As a famous poem goes: "The spring silkworm toils until death; only when the candles burn to ash do the tears dry." Sharing the hardship! Leaving the classroom, Hinata told Shikamaru and Choji, "I’m starving. Let's eat!" "Yeah!" Shikamaru and Choji usually brought packed lunches from home, lovingly prepared by their moms. In the morning, they stored their lunch boxes in the school's tea room to keep warm, retrieving them at noon to enjoy a peaceful meal. However, Hinata's situation was different. Her lunch was also prepared at home. But crafted fresh each day by the family chef and delivered by Hyuga Tokuma, an elite ninja moonlighting as a delivery guy, this lunch was a super luxurious meal. Now that is the style of a proper lady.
