Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sora nodded to himself and continued forward, this could not get him down, if it was not challanging then what would be the point of taking the exam in the first place, he had to keep telling himself that there were people watching him, and that they were judging the way that he dealt with situations such as these, the skills that he obtained in this examination where skills that he would need his future as a Chunin. Yes! As a chunin! His resolve began to burn again, he was going to pass these exams, and take a step forward in the world, remembering why he was here in the first place. He was not interested in a title, in honor, not even the respect, he was here because as a Chunin he would have more missions that paid him at least a decent wage, he could keep a roof over his and his mothers heads, keep the medicine that she needed to live, and possibly gain enough reputation to be made Jounin from there he would be able to give his mother the life she diserved for raising him, and to make sure that her last years of life where lived happily and peacefully. He would finish these exams and show the world that he was strong and that he was here to do what was needed. He would not let these kids in the exams stop him, even if taking them down was the only option. With that, he dashed aside the notion that others were near him in this maze, that much was unimportant for the moment, he had a mission to do and he was about to see it through to the end.

Yuki was interested as to why he couldn't get past that one moment in her memory. The human mind records everything, it is just recalling it that makes us 'forget'. So technically, even if you don't recall it, it is there. So if it isn't there anymore...than... He looked up, not staring at anything in particular as he did so. Someone must have tampered with her memory! They would obviously not want her to remember what happened so she cannot just regain her normal self and recall what happened. So this was a deliberate action. Yuki stood up, towering over the girl with his height. "We won't have to immobilize her, she'll stay knocked out for at least an hour, that'll be enough time to get far away from her. At least that is what I have diagnosed from my Mind Trace."

The blond scanned the ceiling for the formation Hisaki pointed out. "So if we head towards that crease, we'll get to the center, and in the center is the boxes with the kanji? Which I assume we need to obtain to pass." He nodded, agreeing with his own plan of action. The only problem is how to get close to it, without traveling farther away? "Hisaki, did you run into anyone that was bloodthirsty like this girl? It seemed weird that she would not only attack two other genin, but also attack without hesitation." It didn't seem like a big deal to Hisaki, but Yuki thought it was quite odd that such a nervous wreck at the beginning of the exams would turn into such a fearsome adversary.

Around him he could hear the voices of another participate, fortunately he was not on a track that would take him near that person and so he decided to ignore it for now though he did instruct a single bug to head in its direction to at least get a rough count of whom it that was there and possible to see if they had been to the finish or not, if they had and were still in the maze, then it would confirm his theory that for what ever reason reaching the end of the maze was not enough to actually escape it. Something more would be needed, which made sense to him considering throwing a bunch of genin into a maze really did not show a very true test of ability because in the real field a target would usually be moving, and anything that they were trying to obtain would usually be guarded, without any sort of conflict this maze seemed little more than a game of hide and seek. Sora reached a fork in the road, one that his bugs had not mentioned in there report to him. He sighed out of grief thinking that the bugs must have split into two seperate squads when hitting this road, and when called back, reformed into one squad and had not reported that there was a split. The bugs only knew what they were instructed and lacked the rational thinking of a human being.

Sora reached the last wall and turned left as his bugs instructed, he could tell that he was almost to the end simply because of how long he had been walking as well as how far, he had to admit that he was starting to get alittle bit tired of walking, especially with the anxous feeling that every step he took could trigger a trap, and every turn he made could land him directly in front of an hostile enemy. It was tireing in itself to be constantly battle ready ever single step of the way, Sora began to walk alittle more sluggishly, letting down his guard ever so slightly, knowing that if something where to happen his bugs would already be actively int he area to protect him in the instance that it would take him to formulate a proper defense, or counter attack. His walk was less mechanical, and was not the sluggish walk of a jaded and bored participate, something that he hated to admit, and hated even more to show. What did he look like being in the Chunin exams and starting to get bored? That was almost like a slap in the face to the judges, was he not taking this seriously? Of course that was not the case, he simply was growing annouying with wandering around in a maze like a chicken whoes head had been cut off, thrown in the dark with a string attached to its legs.

Sora stopped for a moment, not able to take it anymore. He stepped down to his knees and placed his hands on the ground to brace himself before clicking his shoulder forward out of place. From his back the "puppet" began to move as its case cracked open like a coffen and the real Sora stepped out. His body covered in sweat hanging down over his face. He rubbed his forehead with the back of his wrist and took a deep breath, trying to regain his composure before he had to return to the safety of his coffen. Sora rotated his shoulders and his neck, it was getting to be a real pain in the a** to be in there for so long, but it was something that he needed to do. Being that close to the puppet made the time that it took between giving instruction and its reaction to be reduced to almost nothing, it also made it much easier for him to remain stealth ed inside this almost impenetrable coffen and even if his puppet were to be defeated he would already be in good position for a surprise attack from inside of the coffen. After taking a quick breather Sora stepped back inside and closed it, locking it back with the same seal that had kept it closed in the first place. The puppet which was designed to be perfectly identical to Sora cosmetically rotated its shoulders back in the opposite direction before clicking hold and standing back up to its feet and continuing on.
