Minato shrugged off the comment made by Kagasei as he was already working out a strategy for each of his possible opponents for tomorrow. Trying to remember their jutsu and skills and how he could best counter them. To him, his speed was going to be his best bet against some of those he was facing especially the Akimichi boy he would face first. Almost completely ignoring the rest of his team he left for his house and began some more training in the courtyard to try and be as prepared as possible. After a few hours, he went in for dinner and basically ignored his family his mind still moving a mile a minute as he thought through every possible scenario. After his sleep, he awoke slightly later than normal and met with the others out from greeting them as simply as possible to keep his focus. Once they got there the Hokage gave a similar speech to remind everyone how this was going to work. then the next match began. It was a smaller red-haired boy facing off against an older blonde haired girl. The two battled fiercely each of them using the most of their arsenal until the red-haired boy made a fatal mistake he looked away from his opponent who he had knocked prone and started gloating. The blonde woman surged forward and placed a kunai at his throat. The chunin examiner smiled slightly and announced her the winner. Next was Minato leaping down to the battlespace he smiled to his opponent Akamichi, Chozen. The young man smiled back and they bumped fists before stepping back and taking their stance. 
"Begin!" the examiner called to them and the two boys went to work Chozen flashing through hand seals preparing for a jutsu while Minato flashed forward pulling his sword and smacking the flat of the blade against Chozen's hands disrupting his seals before holding the tip to Chozen's neck. 
"Sorry Chozen, not this year," Minato said with a grin which was mimicked by Chozen who admitted his defeat. Turning to his team and leaping up before the announcement of a break Minato grinned as he had the fastest victory of the exams so far. "Guess I'm well on my way." He said simply.
"Minato that was incredible where did you learn to use a sword like that?" Himawari sensei asked. 
"Well both my grandfathers used a sword at one point and they taught me." Minato replied with a shrug.
