Hokage, no one knows better than me how to cultivate talent.

"Teacher Xiong, I don't have any classes tomorrow afternoon, I can cover for you," Qiu Shui said in a very kind manner.

Upon hearing this, Fujino Daikuma was taken aback at first, then carefully said, "Shusui, you've only recently become a full-time employee, and this is precisely the time when you need to establish yourself. Moreover, given your teaching style, you personally teach every lesson meticulously, which must be very energy-consuming. Wouldn't having you substitute for a class affect your own class?"

He didn't offer to let Qiu Shui take over the class because he was afraid of delaying Qiu Shui's teaching duties.

"It's alright, my class is back on track now, we just need to teach step by step," Qiu Shui said, waving her hand.

He had never substituted for Fujino Daikuma's class before, and he was actually looking forward to it, because Class 1 of the fifth grade had Hyuga Neji, Rock Lee, and Tenten, and he had wanted to go and see them for a long time.

"Shusui, thank you so much." Fujino Daikuma saw his serious expression and didn't say anything more.

The words had barely left his mouth when the school bell rang.

Qiu Shui picked up her textbook and walked towards the classroom of Class 1, Grade 4.

He walked straight to the podium, gently placed the textbook on the table, and said in a gentle tone, "Everyone worked very hard in this monthly exam, especially Naruto, Hinata, and Shikamaru, who made the most progress."

Upon hearing this, Naruto straightened his back abruptly, raised his chin slightly, and looked proud.

Hinata Hyuga was not used to being the center of attention and rarely received praise in front of a crowd, so two blushes quickly rose on her cheeks.

Nara Shikamaru lay on the table, a bad feeling suddenly rising in his heart.

Qiu Shui paused for a moment, then continued, "I hope everyone can maintain this performance in every exam to come. To reward everyone for the significant improvement in your monthly exam scores, and to acknowledge that our Class 1 of Grade 4 achieved the best result in the grade, and that the teacher also received praise, I have decided to give everyone some rewards."

As soon as he finished speaking, the students whispered among themselves, speculating about what the reward would be.

"Shusui-sensei, what's the reward?" Naruto was the first to ask, craning his neck.

Qiu Shui did not answer. Instead, she took out a storage scroll from her person and slowly unrolled it on the podium. Instantly, the podium was covered with all kinds of snacks and stationery.

Although these students are all ten years old, they are still children, so they all showed happy faces when they saw the snacks.

As Choji Akimichi sat down, his eyes lit up instantly. He had finished all the snacks he brought at noon, but unexpectedly, it was as if Akisui-sensei had heard his inner call and sent him a mountain of snacks.

"Naruto, Hinata, you two come up here and distribute these to the other students," Shusui said, pointing to the snacks on the podium.

"Yes." Naruto jumped up from his seat and rushed to the podium in three steps. Hinata, still a little shy, followed him with quick small steps.

The two began distributing snacks and stationery from the podium to the students in the class.

Naruto was quick and efficient, grabbing a handful of things and putting them on his classmates' desks; Hinata, on the other hand, was much more careful, whispering a "Here you go" before handing over anything.

"Um, I won't take the snacks." When it was Ino's turn, she hesitated and waved her hand at the bag of potato chips Hinata handed her. "I'm afraid I'll get fat if I eat too much."

Hinata paused for a moment, holding the bag of potato chips in mid-air, somewhat at a loss. She subconsciously turned her head and looked at Shusui on the podium, her eyes asking a question.

"Since Ino doesn't want it, then let's just forget about it," Akisui nodded and said.

Just then, a loud voice rang out from the back of the classroom.

"You can give me any snacks you don't want, I'll take care of them for you, I'm not afraid of gaining weight."

Choji Akimichi suddenly stood up, patted his chest, and his face was full of the words "helping others is a joy" written all over his face.

The classroom fell silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Several girls covered their mouths and giggled, while the boys started making a fuss.

"Choji, are you helping someone solve their problem?"

"It's clearly what I wanted to eat!"

Choji didn't care about these jokes at all.

If these teasing remarks could earn him snacks, he would love to be treated like that every day.

After all the snacks were distributed, Naruto and Hinata returned to their seats.

On Choji Akimichi's table, snacks had piled up into a small mountain. He looked at the snacks in front of him with satisfaction, a happy smile on his face.

Seeing that the snacks had been distributed, Qiu Shui coughed lightly to draw everyone's attention back to herself and slowly said, "A teacher's energy is limited. During class, preparing lessons and grading homework, I may sometimes overlook the performance of some students in class. Moreover, a teacher cannot be in the classroom watching everyone all the time."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "So I've decided to set up several class officer positions in the class, so that when I'm not available or not in the class, the class officers can help me manage our class."

Qiu Shui had actually had this idea from the beginning. Because he usually did everything himself, it was indeed a bit troublesome. In addition, he spent most of his time training Naruto and Hinata in the first month, so he neglected this matter. The hidden mission triggered by the last monthly exam reminded him again. So in order to prevent the class's average score from declining and to continue to rise so as to continue to obtain the rewards of the hidden mission, he decisively proposed this idea today.

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto was the first to raise his hand and say, "Shusui-sensei, I'm willing."

"I...I'm willing too." Hinata Hyuga quickly raised her hand when she heard that she could help Akimizu.

"I'm willing too."

"I want to be one too."

Inspired by Naruto and Hinata, more and more students raised their hands.

Qiu Shui watched this scene with satisfaction. It was worth it for him to activate the talent halo for them this month, and it was also worth it for him to bring out snacks to reward everyone. It seems that they still value friendship and did not turn their backs on him after taking the snacks.

"Teacher Qiushui, what are class officers?" A boy sitting in the back row scratched his head and asked with a puzzled look.

The classroom fell silent, and everyone turned their curious gaze toward Qiu Shui.

Qiu Shui smiled slightly and explained, "There are several positions in the class committee, including class monitor, vice class monitor, academic representative, discipline representative, labor representative, arts and culture representative, and subject representatives for each subject."

He gave an example: "For instance, the class monitor's main responsibility is to supervise everyone's daily learning. They have to take care of who is daydreaming in class or who hasn't handed in their homework on time. The discipline monitor is responsible for managing the order in class. If someone is whispering, passing notes, or dozing off, the discipline monitor has to step in and remind them."
