Tales of a Ninja Magician: Of What Defines Us

A Special Case

The first couple of seconds after the fight ended Meiko looked around, worried that Othello's team would lash out and jump at Kiyomi. From where Meiko was standing, Othello G beat her friend up quite badly and the Yamanaka would not have been able to defend herself properly. With such an explosion of anger being completely by the rules and legal, the probability of it only increased.

After those chilling couple of seconds of silence Sunny Lee sighed disappointed by the outcome before moving back a bit and letting Meiko rush in, as Anaron dispelled himself, also to catch Kiyomi in her arms. It looked that the Yamanaka was able to stand on her own but the angle she was falling in looked pretty bad so the blacksmith's body just acted on their own.

Kiyomi rubbed her face into Meiko's left side. "Never let go, Meiko" she dreamily exclaimed before the blacksmith jumped back, accidentally letting the blonde fall on the ground. Rubbing her aching head and elbow, hurt when Meiko's instinctive jumping trigger going off caused the Yamanaka to get dropped. Kiyomi stood back up on her feet chuckling to herself.

"Come on, let's see your wounds. Sunny, you're gonna tend to Othello"? Masen-Z wondered asking his friend.

Sunny just nodded as she ran at a casual pace to her teammate before smacking her hands together.

"Wood Style: Static Cotton"! She chanted out as four buds of wood burrowed from deep underground as well as few more from up above, making short work of the incredibly tough minerals that made the walls, ceiling and floor of this Snapper-Ant cave. The trees quickly burst their buds revealing a large white cotton-like substance that then parted off of their source and floated in mid-air, emitting lightning sparks in their static state.

Carefully the cotton chunks forced themselves under Othello G and lifted him up. It was more than likely that Sunny Lee was well able to lift her teammate herself, even given his respectable weight, still, her decision to instead use the Senju bloodline ability of Wood Release revealed that she considered that technique a lighter strain on her chakra resources than trying to lift her teammate with her natural strength.

Once the static cotton wrapped around Othello G it appeared to stick to the man as if he was magnetically attracted to it. Maintaining the hands locked into the hand seal position, Sunny Lee strolled to the Snapper-Ant nesting pods with her teammate floating carefully by her side as the lightning sparks coming off of the cotton appeared to electromagnetically levitate off the ground.

"We should just go", Kiyomi suggested, even while Team Cumulus were quite polite and nice she felt like she should've stayed around as shortly as possible. Maybe it was just her own uncomfortable feeling having just butt into their day and beaten Othello G, eliminating him from competition, but she didn't like sticking around the cave for too long.

"Nonsense, in your current state you're far too slow. You'll be keeping Meiko down and you may get attacked halfway there. You're already one member short and you are injured, what are the odds of Meiko fighting off any attackers alone"? Masen-Z objected.

"He has a point, let's just stay around shortly and then we can go to the gate and finish the exam. We have nowhere to rush now, we've done it"! Meiko energetically cheered on Kiyomi after encouraging her to heal at least a little bit.

"It won't be that short of a time. Even elementary patching may require hours. These nesting pods have a very useful secretion being emitted but aside from a tremendous amount of stem cells inside of it and other useful elements for regenerating and growing new tissues it isn't a miracle cure or anything", Masen-Z brought Meiko down to reality. "Just lay down inside and relax, try to get some sleep, there are some relaxing chemicals being released inside there too so you may just get some rest done"!
