Chapter 5: Pill Revolution
Garou wasn't too familiar with the inner workings of the Academy.
However, a week later, when he returned to submit his report, Ten-Ten casually filled him in.
The Academy had organized a major examination for both their year and the one below.
Hiruzen himself had announced that anyone who achieved full marks and passed the second round of evaluations would be allowed to graduate early and begin advanced studies.
But the reality was brutal, not a single student succeeded.
Even Neji Hyuga, considered a prodigy, had failed to meet the standard.
And so, the Academy returned to its usual rhythm.
Garou made his way back to the Medical Division.
"Sensei, I've finished reading the fundamentals of pharmacology. I'd like to study something more advanced," he said, approaching Kitayama Oto, his mentor.
"So soon?" Kitayama blinked in surprise, scrutinizing Garou from head to toe. "You didn't just skim through it, did you?"
"I memorized it," Garou replied plainly.
