"A...D-dark Elf.....what's her kind doing here??..their evil aren't they?" "I heard they practice Dark Arts...their worse than the Tora clan.." "the Light Elves warned us about them.....she should be barred from the city. Look at her face..she's sinister..that power she used. Is Pure Evil?! No wonder she won! Isn't this cheating! She's not even human...." The citizens of Titan City we're appalled and disgusted at the revelation that one of the greatest spectacles so far was that of a Dark Elf.

"B-but...they don't venture out of the Realm of Elves...why would a Dark Elf come H-here....to join this exam? Could it be an Attack by them?..." Cole questioned suddenly trembling at the thought of a War sparking but he couldn't help but pause at Ibuki standing close to Roselia with stern eyes.

"Why have you come here? Dark Elf?....what is your purpose for attempting to take part in this exam?...choose your answers wisely. It could mean imprisonment...honestly sneaking into this event. It's a National offense.." Ibuki threatened suddenly as a multitude of soldiers stood ready at the Arena Field's entrances; weapons armed. His Red eyes flared daggers at her as he was to stern to let something like this pass no matter how old she was.

Rose's eyes we're wide filled with Fear; she could hear the echoes of the crowd that was just cheering for her completely switch to insults and curses; making her nervous, anxious and frozen "I-I...I don't-...." Her usual cold tone was taken aback at being revealed so suddenly, she kept her hoodie on for this exact reason hoping to pass without anyone realizing it. Ibuki's question made her indifferent as she could see the soldiers ready to take action against her 'I-I could fight my way out-...but I'll be a fugitive. Ano...I can't afford to be caught. And they will catch me eventually....' She thought frantically trying to come up with an answer or a swift way to get herself out of trouble.

Amongst the Chaos, the Other competitors we're trying to wrap their heads around this. Well everyone besides Kira...whom seemed to be the most angry at this revelation. The blonde Heiress of the Narukami clan could not let this go one bit all respect for Rose had just been thrown out of the window and in her blue eyes she could only see a monstrosity, grabbing the hilt of her gold sword she started to make her over "A Dark Elf being in the Human Realm is A betrayal of the accords established by the Light Elves! No Dark Elf is to step foot in our Nation without proper approval! You being here and Ibuki-san not knowing your existence proves you are nothing but an illegal immigrant. A terrorist by all counts....so if you refuse to be taken prisoner. I will cut you down...like mistake you are...I'm not Ryoka Tora.. As Heir to the Head of my Clan it is my duty to purge you of Titan City. What say you?...."
