"VERY WELL THEN. RULE NUMBER ONE," Ibiki started with a grin, basking in the nervous looks on the genin's faces. "EACH OF YOU IS FREE TO CHOOSE NOT TO BE GIVEN THE FINAL QUESTION, IT'S YOUR DECISION."
Everyone in the room stiffened.
'...Huh? It's our choice?? What kind of examiner lets their participants CHOOSE what questions they take...?!' Y/N blinked in shock, trying to find the reason behind such a drastic option. It seemed as though Temari was on the same wavelength as her because she began to shout at Ibiki.
"Woah, so what's the catch?! Let's say we decide we don't want to do it, what happens then?!" She yelled frustration painted on her features.
"If you choose not to take the tenth question, regardless of your answers to the other nine, you'll get a 0." Ibiki grinned maliciously. "In other words, you fail. And that means, of course, your teammates fail as well."
Hushed murmurs began to inhabit the area as the room full of genin whispered nervously to each other. Y/N sighed annoyance, rubbing her temple in an attempt to soothe her incoming headache.
'If we don't take it, we fail. But at the same time, we have the choice to take it or not. Why would you give us the option then...' The black-haired girl wanted to scream, already fed up with Ibiki's twisted rules and pressuring behavior.
'What is he trying to do here...?'
"Not so fast," Ibiki interrupted. "You didn't let me finish."
'Ugh, more rules?! Enough already!' Sakura and Y/N thought simultaneously as they glared at the nonchalant proctor.
"If you do accept the question and answer it incorrectly, you will not only fail... YOU WILL BE BANNED FROM TAKING THE CHUNIN EXAM EVER AGAIN!"
'WHAT?!' Y/N mentally screamed, her eyes wide with shock. 'BANNED?? FOR ANSWERING A QUESTION WRONG?!'
"HEY, THAT'S BULL, MAN! THAT'S RIDICULOUS!" Kiba yelled, enraged by the new rule. "WHAT KIND OF BOGUS RULE IS THAT?! THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE HERE WHO'VE TAKEN THE TEST BEFORE!" Akamaru barked in agreement.
Suddenly, Ibiki began to chuckle darkly, silencing Kiba. The whole room was still. Everyone nervously focused their attention on the amused proctor.
"I guess you're just..." Ibiki started sardonically. "Unlucky. I wasn't making the rules before, but I am now."
