The Genin trio walked into the testing room, and listened to their proctor, Ibiki Morino, explain the rules. When he explained about the no cheating rule, Nick thought he would have to be extra careful, and not use any hand signs.

"Start" Ibiki said.

Nick immediately melted down the kunai of the ninja in front of him to make a mirror. He angled it at Shikamaru Nara, who everyone knew was the smartest in the class. He copied down all of Shikamaru's answers, and then made the mirror split into the answers, and made them go to the front of the class. He knew it was risky, but it was worth the risk, as it was better than not becoming a Chunnin. Once he knew that both Miashi and Kyoshi had copied the answers down, he made the metal slide into someone else's pocket.

"You there, 88, let's go." Said one of the sentinels around the room said to the boy Nick 'gave' the metal to.

After the time was up, Ibiki announced the tenth question and its consequences. Nick was fairly certain he could get the right answer by cheating, so he turned around and nodded to Miashi and Kyoshi to show that he was happy to go on. They nodded their acceptance, and they waited for the tenth question. Ibiki explained how the tenth question was the choice to go on or not, and gave a speech about choices. Suddenly, a kunai flew through the window and hit the wall. It carried a banner with it, and a woman jumped into view.

The scantily dressed woman explained that she was 'Anko', and she would be the proctor for the 2nd test.
