Chapter 2.7: Exam 2
Sima had returned the next day to the same exact spot as instructed yesterday. Everybody made it and was present and accounted for. They were not ready to begin. The three stages had been disassembled and thrown away. The training grounds now looked like an obstacle course of some kind and many of the genin were curious. A bunch of jonin officers had been present as well and just before Sima said anything, they dispersed within the obstacle course tunnel, disappearing from sight.
Peering inside the tunnel, you can see how dark it is, making it nearly impossible to even see anything. It had a mysterious feeling to it and very cold air could be felt from within. There were many entry ways, just enough for a squad each to participate. It also looked like they had their own hallway, so it meant each squad had its own tunnel way without interaction with other squads.
Sima faced the squads at the front of the entry ways, facing all of them with an amused look. "Behind me is our famous obstacle course. Only the best genin only ever make it out alive. Normally, these are used for training purposes, but overnight, I have modified them to test your skills and abilities," he started to explain. "As you can see, not only is it incredibly dark, it is also freezing inside. The object of this test is to simply get through the course," he told them and a lot of smug faces appeared on the genin. He began to laugh. "Now, that would be too easy. The first one to make it makes it to the last exam," he paused for a moment. "And the last one to make it, is eliminated," he said and most squads began to panic.
"The longer you stay in those tunnels, you'll more than likely freeze to death. As dark as it is, you are unable to see the surprises waiting for you. Several Jonin officers await your arrival. You may even encounter other squads. The surprises are endless. The tunnel ways are also very narrow, barely leaving any of your elbow room. Be wise about your choices and tactics. A simple flame or single drop of water could be your doom," he finished and moved to the side, allowing the squads to line up in an entry way.
All three members post first. GM will give signal to begin to give you your first obstacle.
GM will also tell you when to begin.
