Sigmund chose to just simply leave it to his hands since the girls didn't decide on any options on their own. Although he was leader, it didn't always mean he had the answers or that every time a situation came up, he had to be the one to deal with it. He finally sighed, going up to the panel, ignoring the nothing option because he was positive it did absolutely nothing. He clicked the option to fill up the Container Chamber. He heard seals or valves of some sort open in the other room and started hearing running water fill up the other room. It took a minute or two before the entire room filled up and new options appeared on the control panel with a status overview:

Status:
Container Chamber at 5 of 5 sangen.
Injector Chamber at 0 of 3 sangen.

• Fill Injector Chamber
• Dump Container Chamber
• Transfer from Container to Injector
• Nothing

   Sigmund continued to stare at the screen before he spoke once again. "Now we know filling either room will fill it up all the way. At some point, this room will need to be filled up and with the cold already here, that water will definitely make us go hypodermic. We'll need warmth afterwards right away or we won't make it," he explained as he turned around to them, waiting for any suggestions or ideas.

Nori watched Sigmund go up to the panel and click the 'Container Chamber' before she heard something click open and rushing water. She turned her head and saw the room beside them began to fill up. It took a minute, but the water filled up the entire room and she looked back down to the control panel. New options for them to pick from appeared as well as an update telling them that the container chamber was filled. Well, they all knew what the first option would do and it would be kind of pointless to go with the second option since they just filled the container chamber. The third option with transferring water from the container to the injector seemed to be the only viable option at this point as they couldn't just not do anything. "W-well, Nanami can always use her heat to warm us up again, right?" she said and turned her head to look over at Nanami and then back to Sigmund. "But we just need to fill these chambers up to the point where the seals will rupture, right? We might not even need to be underwater for very long, but our bodies should be able to tolerate it because of sensei's training. It's really mind over matter. We can't let the cold get to us."

Nanami leans against the wall thinking as the other room filled up "That -Do nothing- button is really bothering me. I keep going over the past tests in my mind. Everything isn't as it seems. I would rather try the do nothing button when we aren't under water. So far nothing is put there not to be used. The first test nothing was as it seemed, the second test was exactly like it seemed. There is no pattern."

She pauses and listens to Nori "Yes I can warm us up in a hurry once we aren't wet, and if need be I can use my wind jutsu to gives us a little more breath. Still I would rather know it does nothing, then us find out when we are trying to hold our breath and not freeze to death." Nanami looks at Nori and Sigmund "If there aren't any objections I will test the -Do nothing- button." Unless told to stop she will push the -Do nothing- button. If either of teammates oppose it, she wouldn't..

   Sigmund had nothing to say. Nanami had her eyes set to test that button. He was positive it did absolutely as it said whereas she was sure it did something else. he felt like the option would mess up the screen or even shock them, but he suppose he was willing to take that risk a bit. He gave her a thumbs up as his vote, waiting for the aftermath of her choice.

Nori wasn't too sure whether or not this 'do nothing' button would actually do anything, but it could very well be the key or it could be like what Sigmund was probably thinking and actually do nothing. She turned her head and looked over to Nanami. "I guess it's worth a shot. What have we got to lose? There's a fifty fifty chance of it actually working," she said. "Go ahead and push it."

Nanami chuckles "Well if something bad happens its better to have it happen now and not when we are underwater.. Part of me hopes you are right and it does nothing. I guess we will find out." She presses the button, and waits to see what horrible thing can happen from doing nothing.

The panel flashed, making the screen white and the panel said Processing...

Within 3 seconds, the panel just reset and brought up the options again.

Status:
Container Chamber at 5 of 5 sangen.
Injector Chamber at 0 of 3 sangen.

• Fill Injector Chamber
• Dump Container Chamber
• Transfer from Container to Injector
• Nothing

Nori stayed silent as Nanami pressed the button and waited for something to happen, but when it did nothing and just reset the control panel, she let out a sigh. "So it really didn't do anything," she said and looked up to her teammates. "Well, it's pretty much inevitable that this chamber is going to need to be filled, so we should just choose the first option."

Nanami chuckled "Well good we know what that does now. Its the button you push to check to see if we meet the requirements. The screen said processing, and now there is a fourth option. Now we can transfer between rooms. So right now its one of two things. We need to lower the other room to four million. Because it isn't possible to get four million in each room, so we may just need to lower the other room to four million, and then try the nothing button again, unless it breaks the seals on its own when we do. So the next step is we need to get ready to get wet. Now it will be up for vote. Do we transfer between the other room and this one, or do we fill this room? My vote is for transferring to this room. Sigmund, Nori?"

   Sigmund merely shook his head as he contemplated with the options and Nanami's suggestions. He had remained quiet most of the time while they were in this room. While the girls gave senseless votes and unnecessary button pressing, Sigmund had been standing there figuring it all out in his head. He walked right passed them both as he looked over the options and decided to take matters in his own hands now. He clicked the option that said dumb container chamber. He heard the water be released from the room and it seemed like a faucet had stopped running after a minute or two. He glanced at the screen again once both chambers read they were both empty.

   "While you two ladies make senseless votes, I believe I figured this out. I advise you both hold your breath because it's going to get pretty nasty in here and very cold. Prepare yourselves. Oh and also, I'll be taking point the rest of this exam. I have no more time to waste. I'm pretty sure other groups are way more ahead of us," he explained as he hit the option to fill the injector chamber, their room. Water had began pouring in, making their feet wet, then ankles, knees, waist, torso, shoulders, and finally their heads. The entire room was filled with cold water ans just before the water hit the ceiling, Sigmund took one big deep breath and waited for the panel to process and give them more options.

Nanami grinned "About time, I was starting to get bored." More or less stating that, that was the whole idea. To push Sigmund to actually do something. She had it mostly figured out, but couldn't let the -Leader- sit around and do nothing. So she annoyed him into actually taking the role. Nanami took a deep breath and activated a small layer of chakra to cover just under her skin, prolonging the freezing to death chance. She also knew if absolutely necessary she could make a small pocket of air for them that would give them another breath to breathe.

Nanami uses the door frame to keep herself close to the control panel, also watching to see what happens next.

   Their chamber room had filled up and the three of them held their breath long enough for him to be given new options and the status of the rooms.

Status:
Container Chamber 5 of 5 sangen
Injector Chamber 3 of 3 sangen.

   Once he read over the status, he clicked continue and it prompted new messages. He he scanned quickly, swimming while holding his breath. He felt his body start getting numb from the cold water. It didn't help that the air had began cold as well. This definitely was something more intense than their sensei had put them through and he wasn't liking it. He only hoped Nori pulled through once the drained of water. His options popped up.

• Dump Container Chamber
• Dump Injector Chamber
• Nothing

   He quickly pressed dump container and even though he couldn't hear the water be drained in the next room, he knew it was done once the screen changed.

• Fill Container
• Dump Injector
• Transfer from Injector to Container
• Nothing

   He transferred from their room to the container room. The room began draining and filling the next room. The moment that process started, he swam up to the top, gasping for air as he continued to kick his feet below him. The water continued to drain and he waited until it was completely drained and he was able to touch the ground with his feet. They were incredibly soaked from head to toe and he began to shiver. This was NOT what he had in mind.

Status:
Container Chamber 3 of 5 sangen.
Injector Chamber 0 of 3 sangen.

• Fill Container Chamber
• Fill Injector Chamber
• Dump Container
• Transfer from Container to Injector
• Nothing

   Once he caught his breath, he looked at them once again. "We're gonna have to fill this room up again," he warned as he shoved his hands under his armpits. "Nori. That fire. Now," he barked as he began to shiver some more. They needed to warm up again before they started to fill the rooms again.

Nanami makes a handseal and a small circle of flame goes around the outer edge of the room "This will take care of the warmth-h." She was cold none the less "Have to be careful on how much heat the fire prduces. We could warm up to quickly and cause ourselves to pass out, or become sick really quickly. Thats why its along the edges. So we can warm ourselves till we are comfortable and ready to move on. Let me know if it gets to hot." Nanami walks over to one of the lines of fire and sits down humming like she usually does "Good job Leader."

The girl takes several deep breaths, as if practicing to control her breathing for when they go back into the frigid water.

   Sigmund didn't acknowledge the leader comment, but sat next to Nanami anyways, trying to keep warm. His body was ice cold and he was definitely feeling even weaker than earlier. "These tests are getting a bit ridiculous. I wonder how far the other groups are. I just don't want to have to face anybody in these tunnels. There is no room for these things and I doubt we'll have the strength to do so," he began to explain as he held his hands out in front of the line of fire, warming himself as best as he can.

Waiting on Nori at this point.

(Hey guys. I am so sorry for the wait. It's just been a tiring week for me.)

Once the water had filled up the chamber, Nori held her breath and swam in place until Sigmund emptied it. She planted her feet on the ground and automatically folded her arms across her chest and tucked her arms away to keep them warm as she shivered. The water was a lot colder than she thought it would be. When she heard him say that they would have to fill the room up again, she slowly nodded her head and hugged herself a little more. Once Nanami made a ring of fire to keep them warm, Nori slowly walked over to her teammates and sat down beside her. She held out her hands in front of her and began to warm them up by the fire. "T-thanks, Nanami," she said in a trembling voice. "I-I hope we don't have to face anyone, either, but we may not have a choice." She looked over towards the closed door off to the side. "I just wonder what other kind of challenges there are going to be."

Nanami shrugs and gives them each a shoulder bump "I hope not either, but I have a feeling there will be one or two more. I would have rather have done the forest of death back home then this. But what can one do."

She stands up, raising her arms and takes her shirt off revealing a workout style undershirt. Nanami smiles at them.

"The shirt was weighing me down a little and it holds onto to much water." She sits back down and places a hand on each of their shoulders "Ready when you two are, even though I hate the thought of another swim in that frigid water. So fill this room up and then flood the other room, causing the pressure to go over its maximum, forcing the seals to break? Does that sum it up Sigmund-kun?"

Nanami, finish off the puzzle so all groups can move on. Big post, please in detail.

Nanami looks at the other two and nods "Lets begin.." But before stepping up to the control panel, she gives her teammates each a reassuring hug. With the hug they would feel a bit of Nanami's chakra flow into them. Suddenly the cold from their skin fades.

Nanami wasn't going to let things end here, she most certainly wasn't going to let things go on the way they were either. She was concerned about Sigmund and Nori. She had little knowledge, and anything she tried to do to help backfired.

Nanami turns to face Sigmund and Nori and simply smiles a soft  smile.

She turns to the control panel she presses the button to fill up their room again. The water begins to flood the room, this time it seemed slower. With the external layer of chakra she applied to her teammates they wouldn't feel the cold for a few minutes.

The water was up to halfway. Nanami stood there like a rock. She was waiting for something bad to happen. It seemed like nothing would. The water was up to the ceiling, they began to hold their breath.. Nanami swam back to the control, she hit the button to push water into the other room. The water filled the other room. Then something that caused her to worry happen. Even with the other room filled, this room started to fill back up.

She looked at the screen it said it was processing. She was confused this should have triggered the seals to break.

Nanami sat there for a brief moment. Then she remembered the do nothing button also brought up a processing screen. She slams her fist against it. Suddenly there was a release of pressure as both the doors burst open letting the water rush out.

The water moved quickly taking them through both doors and into the next room or area. Nanami was breathing very hard as air started filling her lungs again "Well doing nothing was the answer in the end.." She started laughing and smiling, happy to have survived that.

She stands and looks around surveying their new surroundings.

[Private to GM: Added a little drama with the seals not breaking, and the Do nothing button having to be used. Made for a good punchline at the end. I hope that is ok?]

One box on a table. The box looks like the same from before.

The door behind them slams shut.

The door in front of them is already locked and closed and has a timer of 10 minutes counting down.

Contents of the box:

Perhaps a scroll, perhaps not.

Challenge Note:

Decide who opens the box or who doesn't. If contents contain a scroll, decide who gets to use it. If contents are nothing, it means you failed to interrogate the jonin back from challenge one.

Depending on your decision, GM will decide the rewards or consequences of your actions.

   Sigmund was relieved the water trial was over, but they still had another room and he sighed in frustration. He wasn't pleased that they still had to drag on this exam, but he felt they were close to completion. Once the group entered the next room, once again the door behind them slammed shut, however he noticed it must have been a brand new door because the other one was somehow blown off. He shrugged it off and noticed the box on the table in the center of the room and noticed a timer on the other door of just ten minutes. A note was simple and had read that there could be a jutsu on a scroll for only one person's use or they could perhaps leave it.

   He was honestly a selfish person and would vote for him to use it, however that wouldn't be a team captain kinda thing to do so he remained quiet and just thought to himself. If anybody deserved a new tactic, it was Nori, their weakest of the bunch. He read the note again before turning to the girls. "Nori can have it. She needs it the most," he commented.

Nanami looks up at the timer, then looks back down at the box. Her eyes move from the box to the timer over the next minute or two "There is something to note. We didn't succeed at the interrogation. And we all have our strengths and weaknesses. If there is a scroll in there Nori can have it. But not because she is the weakest, because it would be enjoyable to see her put up a good fight against you Sigmund. I did mean everything I said before about you being strong."

She pauses..

"I do hope to get the chance to fight against one of you in the finals. Win or lose it will be fun!" She started to become a little more upbeat thinking about the battles to come. She walks over to Sigmund and leans against the wall near him "The jutsu may be a trap too. Personally what fun is a jutsu if you didn't train it and make it your own. Being given it would defeat the purpose, and any rewards offered in this place seem to backfire."

Nori was thankful that the whole water challenge incident was over. In all honesty, could it have gotten worse than having to swim in below degree temperature? At least they were able to move on now. Once they entered the next room, there was a small table with a box on top of it. None of them knew what it was at first until they got close enough to read what the note had said. Her eyes skimmed over it. "So there's a fifty fifty chance that this box may or may not have a scroll in it. Why put it here if it has nothing in it?" she said aloud before she looked up to the new door with a timer. She folded her arms and tucked her hands away to keep them warm before she looked up to her teammates. When she heard Sigmund mention that she should get the scroll because she needed it, Nori scowled but decided not to say anything. She had good reason to believe he only said that because she was the weakest. She let out a sigh and looked away from him.

"If there is a scroll in there, I will be happy to take it if you guys are insisting that I do. It's just...why would they leave a scroll here for us to take and then give us a timer to see who gets it? Did they think that we would fight over who deserves it more than the others?" Nori asked and looked back up to the two of them. "Who knows? Maybe it doesn't matter if we succeeded the first challenge or not. There could be a scroll in there or there couldn't be a scroll in there. I think it's more based on the idea of thinking like a team and deciding who would best make use of the scroll if there's one in there. However, we don't even know what kind of jutsu it even is to begin with. It could be completely useless to all three of us."

Nanami nods at Nori "Exactly, to be honest if we can bypass opening the box I say we do. For all we know opening the box could be bad as well. So far nothing has been this easy before. So we have a few options from this point." She walks around the room thinking "Well the obvious is to open the box, and hope it doesn't cost us. Another is wait till the last second and then open the box. Or not open the box at all and see what happens."

She stops roaming for a moment "I mean so far this entire thing has been a team challenge, you would think it odd only one person gets the prize right?"

Nanami looks at them for input, she looks back up at the clock looking at how much time was left.

The team took up the whole 10 minutes to deliberate about a simple box. Because they were the type of team to just sit around and talk and not take action fast enough, the timer reached zero and the box remained closed. The final door swung open and a Jonin had entered the room with some blankets for their warmth. He looked at all three of them. "I'm surprised none of you opened the box. However, your team is the last one to complete the trial," he gave them the bad news, practically claiming they were the runts of the bunch. After handing out the blankets, he left the room.
