With sheer aptitude and will, Ren pushed through the written exams and managed to even pass! A surprise to almost all, unlike most other contestants he was just a novice compared to the other seasoned genin around him. Of course this was mostly a surprise to himself, as Ren wasn't really expecting to even get this far. One small step for Ren, one big step for noobkind. It was a little pleasant thing that left him with a remarkably familiar face for those who knew him, a smug smile as he listened to the team setups.

Hayato Sarutobi

Shien Kidame

This Exam was just going to be amazing, already he was surpassing his own expectations and he was being paired up with just some of the friends he had met in his recent journies as a shinobi. He first saw Shien, running up to him while waving his hand and calling out to his friend.

"Shien," Ren excitedly said before stopping short. He might not have been very recognizable at first as he was wearing a short scarf which hid his lower face and the rest obscured by the shadow of his jacket's hoods peak. He pulled both away momentarily just to show himself just as Hayato came up. It seemed as though Hayato knew Shien too, things were looking great.

"Fancy that," Ren said upon realizing their situation he stopped short of saying anything else. Strangely, he seemed more quiet than he usually was.

After they all greeted one another and finished, Hayato was the first to jump ahead and suggest they go ahead and get started. Ren nodded with a smug smile before donning his hood and scarf to help stay warm. Afterward he'd follow right behind Hayato, ready to get on and start these exams.
