Hikaru couldn't help but nod slightly at the fairly tame introduction of the last team member. While he felt a faint familiriaty while looking to the indivifual, by how he acted and how he openly declared that his job normally involved not being seen, the redhead could easily tell that even if he tried to get more info it would be for naught anyway, so he just acknowledged his words and turned back to Ai, waiting to see her answer to the unexpected hole in her planning. 

[color=9e0b0f]"Kyaaa, how manly. Openly declaring that you'll protect us like that, my heart can't help but go doki doki"[/color] The redhead openly exclaimed as soon as Ai explained her condition, partially lightening the mood and partially covering over their conversation to diverge any nearby overly-curious fellow from completely listening Ai's ability reveal and thoughts about the trials. [color=9e0b0f]"Guess I'll be in your hands then, please take care of me~"[/color] He added with an mischievous wink - the closer to his usual mischievous expression he could get while wearing the bandages as mask - before turning back to hear the Hokage's speech - after all, a more detailed talk about her abilities could wait until later.

Turns out that the time for a briefing didn't actually came, though, as they were forcefully transported to a dark room right after the Hokagr's speech ended. Hikaru's immediate reaction was, of course, try to make sense out of his surroundings, moving to try to reach any surface to understand the size of the small room that they were transported into - just to reach something considerably more soft and round in the process, though he didn't have a chance to know what exactly he touched before someone else managed to open a way out of the small room, giving him the opportunity to exchange the small, dark and excessively populated room for a ridiculously bigger and definitely brighter one.

[color=9e0b0f]"Now that's something"[/color] The redhead muttered as he tentatively examinated the strange room. He didn't even have the time to wonder about what exactly did his hand fondle earlier or how his teammates reacted to the sight as he tried to make sense of the escessively bright and weirdly decorated room, taking a few seconds to accommodate to the new environment before he once more turned to his comrades, stopping to listen their opinion.

[color=9e0b0f]"Well... I don't know shit about Buddha and his ten directions, but I guess we need to try and beat the drums to see what happens."[/color] The redhead said after Renji finished his explanation, directly walking towards the nearest drum. He immediately swung his fist as soon as he came near enough the neared drum, directly hitting the surface of the instrument with a punch - after all, the only way to confirm the actual use of the drums was directly teasting the effects of beating one, and since it was a test, they wouldn't just be some death traps anyway... Or so he expected. [color=9e0b0f]"I really hope this shit isn't just a way some leaf guys found to kill us in an elaborate manner."[/color]
