"Thank you for your pledge to the assistance of the academy! The shinobi village needs more like you, sir!"

"Oh, thank you for your kind words young man, but these old bones can't do much of anything else these days!"

He grinned in response, but more importantly in belief, that the words I had spoken were genuine. Perhaps they were, in a sense, but I wasn't here to judge the philosophy of the the truth, just here to make some money. The teacher met me outside of the classroom, convinced he was to meet an old Oto Ninja by the name of "Hokami", and briefed me on my objective. Watch a handful of kids take an examination.

"So you'll just walk amongst the aisles, keeping an eye out on the academy students." he had told me.

"Oh there's no need for all of that," I had responded, "my eyes are just as good from the front of the room as they are from any other perspective."

So when I sat at the front of the room for the duration of the test the teacher was only slightly concerned that I wasn't doing my job. But beneath the bone-white casque of Hokami were the glowing, red eyes of Tasukeru. The powerful doujutsu allowed me to see to the back of the class and everywhere in between. Some part of me hoped to catch some kid cheating just to prove that I was able to attain such heights rather easily.

"Everyone has their test, you may now begin," said teacher. He gave me a glance that told me that my job had officially started, but I had already been looking out for a couple seconds now. There were myriad kids in the place, of all different bloodlines and backgrounds, none of which I really knew well enough to say for sure where they came from. But I waited, watching, for someone to decide that maybe taking a quick peek at their neighbor's paper might not be a bad idea...

I asked myself while I was sitting at the front of the class, exactly, how much effort I should put into this job. And during that time the thought occurred to me that the teacher, in his no doubt avarice, would come to the conclusion that I wielded the Tasukeru simply because I was able to observe the class without moving around. The notion motivated me to walk around the classroom with my hands folded behind my back, pacing back and forth, as if I was watching carefully for cheaters. I would turn the mask here and about, as if looking at papers, to act if I was watching for cheaters.

But did I really put that much effort into it? Consider this: if these students were to cheat and become caught it would completely set the tone for cheating for the remainder of the class. Cheating would no longer be an option and those who had at first considered it would then be forced to actually study. If these students were actually forced to study, their abilities might actually grow and come to fruition. Should a particularly, potentially strong shinobi have his ability come to fruition and come to covet the Tasukeru, he would target me. When this thought occurred to me, I will not lie, I stopped mid-step to shudder. The dangerous idea was then rooted deep within myself and I could not shake it.

Because of that, for the remainder of the test, I only attempted to look like I was proctoring. Did some students cheat? I hope so. I would not have tattled even if I would have caught them.

When the time was up and the test was finally picked up, the teacher thanked me and I took my leave. It was my pleasure, of course, to proctor and I'd be happy to do it again. Very happy to do it again.
