The next day, Hiatohi arrived at the classroom just as the bell rang. The moment she stepped through the door, she brought a difficult problem over to Hana, but Hana didn't understand it either. After all, this material was taught in the higher grades. While Hana was undeniably a straight-A student, such advanced concepts were a bit too much for her.
Hiatohi then took the problem to Chanshan, but even after Chanshan explained it for ages, Hiatohi still looked completely lost. The problem was inherently difficult; even Chanshan felt it went beyond the standard curriculum, having defeated quite a few examinees back in the day.
Hiatohi could only sigh, return to her seat, and resume looking utterly bewildered. Remembering Kakashi's exhausted state the previous night, she hadn't the heart to keep asking him questions. He had looked dead on his feet—the ANBU really was a soul-crushing place. She wondered if the pay was even that high.
