[/center][/cell][cell]Defeat. Lumika was overflowing with disbelief, after all, she did; after all, she had done, It was not enough. Lumika layed in the ground motionless, her face surrounded by dirt, and in her personal darkness, she tried to comprehend such a loss, retracing her steps in the fight. [i][color=#FA8C55]'Those eyes... How am I going to ever match such an ability?'[/color][/i] Lumika had thought to herself lost in her own mind to find an answer, she heard someone talking assertively, she could feel the bass of their voice vibrating through the dirt in her ears... Ew, Lumika tried to move her arms but lacked the energy to do it, the muscles in her face started to tense as she tried to focus all her brainpower on forcing her body to move. Something everyone in her family learns at a young age, to fight through exhaustion and pain. 

While Lumika was making a rather embarrassing face; fortunately her face is in the ground currently. Lumika felt a series of punches to her spine [i][color=#FA8C55]'NO! is this IT?!? did sensei order Rina to break my spine?!! to finish me-'[/color][/i] her thoughts of terror and turmoil were interrupted by her back making a loud crack as a particularly crooked part of her spine came back into alignment and a wash of relief came over her body as her circulation; which she didn't even realize she was lacking, returned [i][color=#FA8C55]'oooooh... that was nice~'[/color][/i] shortly after that thought Eri sensai had flipped Lumika over to deliver a final few punches to her ribs; Lumika's face looked like she was asleep with her eyes open, her face was completely relaxed. Her relaxation was interrupted by seeing Eri sensai punching her, and feeling better for it? [i][color=#FA8C55]'wha- how- this- huh?!'[/color][/i] each question in her mind seemed to punctuate each punch [i][color=#FA8C55]'Woah... feel good punches, is this a secret of the leaf village? is this something Takeda sensai invented? it is truly my honor to be in the presence of such greatness... I hope sensai will forgive me one day for this loss...'[/color][/i] Lumika remained on the ground in her ditch. [b][color=orange]"Lumika, you pass!"[/color][/b] 

Like a bolt of lightning striking a steel rod, pure energy circulated through her, Takeda sensei's first sentence to her filled her with so much raw joy that all she could do is yell after she jumped to her feet [color=#FA8C55]"YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"[/color] the rest of Takeda sensei's words fell on deaf ears; possibly because there was still dirt in them. Lumika's body then started to propel her forward, she couldn't keep herself still on an occasion like this! Lumika began to start running around the general area she stopped in various spots to jump, flex, and punch the air [i][color=#FA8C55]'Hell yeah! I did it! I won! what was I thinking? of course I won! I achieved the objective!'[/color][/i] Lumika had thought to herself before she herd sensei exclaim [b][color=orange]"Now!"[/color][/b] This snapped Lumika immediately out of her short celebration party of one. 

Lumika stood fiercely at attention, briefly holding a salute, then relaxing to parade rest; Lumika all the while had a beaming smile. All the jumping and excitement knocked enough dirt out of her ears to hear sensei much more clearly; Lumika still quickly gave her ears a swipe just to make sure. Lumika did not raise her voice to opt-out of any further training, with just three words sensei gave her enough revived mental fortitude to do whatever she asked. Lumika would surely be riding this high for the rest of the day no matter what happend. 

Lumika listened to Mika's assessment of her with extra patience and consideration [color=#FA8C55]"Thank you, I will keep that in mind."[/color] Lumika returned Mika's thumbs up with one of her own. Mika's assessment of Rina was very offputting for her [i][color=#FA8C55]'I don't know about [b]obvious superior[/b] if I was so inferior she wouldn't need to try at all, angry or not. I probably shouldn't read too much into his words, he seems kinda two-faced so far, but no matter what, I need to get faster, not just stronger!'[/color][/i] Lumika raised her fist to herself, she stared down at her fist and watched as it started to get redder from clenching her fist so tight [i][color=#FA8C55]'if I am going to keep up with my teammates, I am going to need to push myself farther than I ever have before! I will make them proud!'[/color][/i] Lumika thought about her parents and her training with even more renewed determination.

Waiting patiently Lumika waited for Mika to finish [color=#FA8C55]"With your permission Takeda Sensei I will go next!"[/color] Lumika said with a salute; holding it until Lumika received an answer. 

When an answer is given if she were to go next or last Lumika had this assessment to say [color=#FA8C55]"First in regards to Rina, her strengths that I have gathered is that she is a very strong combatant, agile, powerful, her clans kekkei genkai gives her a fierce edge, but it is because of all the power she contains, that she becomes wild, overconfident, and angry, clouding her better judgment in the midst of a combat scenario"[/color] Lumika said plainly and objectively trying her best to not let their fight get in the way of her honesty, she was still her teammate after all and she truly only wanted to help, if asked Lumika would be more then happy to work out their weaknesses together. 

[color=#FA8C55]"Second Kimi, I am unsure of her physical strength but she is fast and shows that she can think quickly on her feet creating on the spot tactics, unfortunately, because of my antagonization of Rina, for the last portion of the test I was unable to continue to get any more valuable samples of her strengths as I was too focused on achieving my objective, however, a weakness could be that when the fight started to heat up she could not think of a way to intercept herself between us, showing a possible lack of motivation, but as stated before I lack enough proper evidence to make any further assessments, there is not a doubt in my mind however that Kimi is a valuable asset to our team"[/color] Lumika felt some of the things she said seemed a bit harsh, so she wanted to make sure Kimi knew that she respected her. 

[color=#FA8C55]"I have just met Mika so I cannot speak much on his strengths but I can say that shouting and making proclamations before entering a battlefield is not the greatest tactic unless you are intentionally trying to be a distraction. I will say that having just fought two Uchiha, I am certain he has strengths."[/color][/cell][/row][/table][right][img]https://i.imgur.com/1Dd0gCn.png[/img][/right]
