Round 3 ~ tournament!

[Proctor Tōjō]

Round 3 has officially begun! It will be a tournament to determine the battle prowess of the genin, and those who have made it this far will, if they win a match, be able to walk away as eligible Chuunin, only needing their Kage's consent in order for the title to become official. Winners can either leave the exams altogether with their eligibility or continue see the tournament through and prove themselves to be the strongest candidate to enter the exams. Since there was nine of you, the winner of both both round 1 & 2 (determined by answers for round 1 and quality of roleplaying during round 2) gets an automatic "free win", allowing them to advance into the semi-finals of Round 3 should they decide to stay.

The current matches are:

Kaeor vs Zero!

Areru vs Akiyuki!

Rinji vs Masumi!

Sharkk vs Kurai!

Those who wish to spectate the exams may do so in this thread, using the description given in the arena.

As a side note: the winner of the tournament will receive a prize!

[atrb=border,0,true] ARERU VS. ZEIG- SPECTATOR With a pep in my step, I would ascend the flight of stairs that would take me to the stadium where the fight between Areru Sansutomu and Tensa Hyuuga would commence. It made me feel a bit nervous, knowing that a comrade of mine, a friend, would be going up against another contestant. The butterflies in my stomach were worrying, but I was confident my previous student slash teacher had what it took. Perhaps she would use that nifty array of techniques we had been practicing earlier, or perhaps not. Either way, the excitement to see any other techniques she might have in her arsenal- including the techniques of the other contestant- soon overpowered the anxiety I had for my Kumogakuran companion. It was still there, of course, but it wasn't keeping me on edge. I was certain now that she had what it took to put up one hell of a fight. Unfortunately for me, since I desired to watch the match from the very start, the battle had already begun when I'd arrived- with Areru starting up her offensive with a thrown kunai and a smoke bomb. Quickly, I would make my way to my seat, shuffling past other spectators as I kept my eyes on the arena and observed. Everything was clear behind the 30 meter high glass walls that surrounded the arena, embedded in the iron walls to allow the audience for full view of the fight. It was a 30 by 60 meter rectangular arena, with a light snow setting, a single stream of water and a dead tree positioned strangely in the midst of it all. Though the contestants currently in battle might not have noticed the examiner, Atlas could clearly spot him. An elusive observer, ready to pop in whenever it was over. Leaning lazily on the railing provided, I would watch the match.

Kurai VS Fuu- spectating

Masumi found herself arriving to late, the sound of the spectators cheers bolstered as she walked up the stairs. Once at the top she turned only to see the Hozuki-her kinsmen in a state that meant defeat, for whenever an Hozuki reverted to their jelly state it meant such. I could see the crackling of lighting ripple through the jelly form that laid haplessly upon the ground. "Tsk..." It was obvious the kids chakra nature below, the one who stood triumphant, that his was raiton. Masumi would definitely remember his face as she turned around, heading back. Not much else to see here, so it was better to go prepare for the next match.

"I'll have to be careful if I face that one..."

[atrb=border,0,true] ARERU VS. ZEIG- SPECTATOR The match seemed to end just as soon as it had begun, the examiner stopping it the moment after Areru had unleashed her attack. Tensa Hyuuga seemed to have frozen up, he hadn't reacted. The Akegarasu watching simply smiled and shook his head, retreating from the railing he had been leaning on and sighing. He had been expecting more from this fight, waaay more. If he were being completely honest, he'd say he was disappointed. But what could he do? Sometimes matches ended this way, and they did so for a variety of reasons. He'd seen it happen before, many times during the war. It wasn't anything new. Now that Areru was victorious, he was anxiously hoping to catch her on her way out and congratulate the Kumogakuran. So without another moment of time wasted, he would make his way out from the crowd gathered and leave. Tensa Hyuuga, that was a name he would remember. EXIT
