Short chapter This time! Whoop whoop!
Well, I might/migt not concentrate on next chapter on vacation, cause I want to work on my Soul Eater one :P
We had a break slightly before the second task, so Michi and I sat Maria down and checked out her ankle. Kakashi came over and sat down beside me.
"Great job." He said to me. "I knew you guys would turn out."
"It was tough. Why'd you make the ditches so deep? It took minutes to get Maria out…" I said, as Michi squeezed Maria's ankle to see how it was. Maria flinced from pain ,and Michi said "Yep, definitely swollen."
"Great…" I mumbled. "But anyways. Why didn't you tell me you were an instructor? You could've let me know before I left…"
"Well, you left before I said anything." Kakashi said to me. "Besides, I don't have to tell you everything, do I?" he reached over and messed with my hair. "Maybe I want to keep a secret once in a while."
"Like you did with mom…" I said under my breath. Just then, people started being moved back out to start the next task. "Welp, we should get going. Can you stand Maria?"
"I think I can manage…" she responded, being wobbly as she stood up. Michi and I used ourselves to support her as we walked outside.
We all approached the instructor for the second part of the exam. There were 20 teams left after the first challenge, and according to this instructor, we would be chopped in half. Only 10 teams will remain.
"This forest, is like no other. It makes the thing you fear most, become almost completely real." She said smirking. "Your goal is to get out of there. If you can."
"Nori, I'm scared already." Maria whispered to me, shaking.
"Relax." I said back, "It can't be that bad, right? Plus, we have Michi, I don't think he's scared of anything."
"Ready? Go!" The instructor said, and all of the teams scattered into the trees.
Well, next chapter will be 3 days into the exam. I already have most of it written out so... Yup! ^^ Quicker update maybe!
