There were only ever a handful of things that irked the otherwise free spirited Shizuka. And if he were to count them on his hand right now they would be, closed spaces, rude people, and girls with lavender hair that playfully teased him. Shizuka’s eyebrows stiffened as one rose in defiance to what the cloud eye’d girl was saying, but he quickly lowered it so she wouldn’t be able to savor it as she had been the whole time watching him. He would grumble if he could but he took a vow of silence and meditation for the remainder of the test only to move if challenged. He hoped she would challenge him, but then of course he was growing a weak spot for his fellow comrades and other comrades surprisingly, even though he had gone to class with them his whole life. If the test had failed here at least had started a bond and that was in and of itself a reward to a challenge Shizuka had never faced. Regardless the meditation wasn’t doing him very much good as he couldn’t focus with the noise around him so he just sat there mildly grumpy and eavesdropping on his pondering teammates. 

However to much of his team’s dismay it seemed that the sand behind him was getting ever so closely to the bottom and the room around them was crumbling like a house of clay. The rumbling led to a violent earth quake that shook the room to its core. Was this a gross miscalculation of his degree of understanding? Was the challenge more than just patience? Was there an actual worm that would help them purge the steel doors with acid? Thoughts raced through his head for what felt like minutes, but quickly halted like the rumbling and shaking of the room. It….was over. Shizuka had indeed figured out the ruse that was cloaked as more. The machine had been broken the entire time, simply just an illusion to lure their insecurities out. Lest they forget about the runes, the runes shimmered with a flash of blue, the inner machinations of the room were activated. A large runic circle they had seen upon entering appeared underneath, a new blemish and a new sound echoed through the dilapidated ruins. 

And like an ever changing breeze the blue shifted to the red, and impressive jump on the visible light spectrum. The light vanished from the world around them, Kiku most definitely would have been in her element with their sight being robbed, she was made for this a true light in the dark. Although he would like to praise her he needed his revenge. One singular path and door opened before them inviting them in like a village elder, how could one say no. First was the stick boy who challenged him from the very beginning, the first chess piece to fall to his side, and perhaps the most important. Shizuka rose from the ground cloaking a grin that was unmatched, he made his way to the side of Kiku.[color=39b54a] “I plan on doing more than rubbing when we get out of here and pass the exams. Stick and stones may break my bones and all that right Mr Class President? Thank you for your praise.”[/color] his childhood rhyme overlapping the senju’s ability to spread wood and sticks. Next was the vexing cloudy eyes, he invaded her personal space again in a relentless assault. [color=39b54a]“I guess the forecast called for overcast today.”[/color] Shizuka winked devilishly at her before moving to her ear only a few inches away, she could catch the hint of sweat and a sweet aroma radiating off his body. [color=39b54a][i]”I may have to take you up on that offer, see what you got.”[/i][/color] snickering in her ear perhaps leaving goosebumps before turning around faster than a spinning top, digging his hands into his pockets. 

He passed the Sundance Kid and nudged him with his elbow. [color=39b54a]“I know you weren’t scared bud, good acting you had me fooled. I knew you were on my side the whole time. I could feel it. You have to be like the leaf though, follow my lead kid and we’ll be golden.”[/color] Shizuka’s demeanor had shift from one of leadership to a perfect harmony of his carless airheaded state of wind partnered with his serious and foreboding leadership tendencies. This was a side few had ever seen, it was rather unheard of Shizuka in his own right. Was the boy learning the value of having a team? [color=39b54a]“I’ll only call you Fire God if you call me Wind Seeker. Now let’s just head in I’m not so sure it’s going to be as simple as this test so be on guard. I think Cloudy eyes and Stick boy can cover us on this one.”[/color] Shizuka once again slapped his hands thunderously together creating a powerful draft that exploded through the narrow hallway, illuminating a world only Kiku could see. They pressed onward.
