Author’s Note: The idea for a Groundhog Day-style time loop centered on the Chuunin Exam originates with Perfect Lionheart’s story “Chuunin Exam Day” (at least, that’s the first place I’d ever seen the idea). But as will quickly become apparent, that plot device is about the only thing this story and that one have in common.
