Some genin fell out, convinced of their failure. Indeed, those had failed for sure now. But it seemed there were a couple of them who did not know about giving up. Chigetsu looked like she'd suffer a complete breakdown. Giving the impression the proctor could count them among the eliminated. Among those whom's mind were broken; too weak to be considered Chuunin. It'd have been quite a downfall considering Chigetsu had been the personality to quietly but persistently walk forward across this path. Not one for spotlights. Just one who barged on ever forward. Yes, if she considered herself failed, Hua Li would have considered it a disappointment in truth. She'd cross her arms as her scrutinizing gaze rested upon the pink-haired girl. Hardly blinking. She'd notice the build up of rage, the snap of the pencil, but the throw itself was practically just a flash before her passive sight. It was the 'tink' against the sprinklers and the missing crayon that betrayed the intention of Chi's action. Then, as if to confirm it all, the downpour began.
The sudden rain send the genin scurrying like rats. Some hid under their desk, others sought the safety of walls and ceiling. There were even members whom fled for the exit. All but a couple remained in place under the sprinkler's assault. Chigetsu, who had it all planned out. And the proctor, who cared little for an innocent sprinkle as this. All the while, many a paper was put to the test under Chigetsu's ultimatum, and even there it seemed that a couple of the people who had considered themselves free to pass the test in a breeze would now fail to reach the last bout. Too bad, so thought the proctor. Those who dropped their defence too soon deserved to fail just as much.
By the time the sprinklers were deactivated automatically, the class room was a massive puddle and the proctor held precious few tests in her hands. Rini's, who she already considered passed yet didn't fail to follow the only two rules of importance by throwing a crumpled test at her. She had asked about her identity all the while, and was given an answer, "Yes, I am Hua Li of the Yokai. Better known as the Demon Smith of Kumogakure.". Her request to pass Chigetsu would remain unanswered, the Tengu only staring back in silence for a brief moment. Until Chigetsu would hand in her test. She'd eye the answers as if those mattered. As if she could still mess up writing down the answers on the blackboard. Then she spoke up to the girl through a wry smile, "You didn't give up. So I guess I'll have to let you pass after all, don't I? Now go enjoy your victory, little Hozuki. I'm sure you'll be ready for the next round after this hell I've put you through.".
She'd briefly observe the girl's reaction after her words, and accept Toshiyuki's offer in turn. Her eyes would gloss over the test, again as if it mattered, and nod in approval of him passing. He hadn't revealed himself as someone to take initiative, but neither had he proven himself to be fazed by all the events. Cool, calculated, prepared. She wondered how much he'd reveal of his true abilities once he'd enter the next round, and allowed him to move on with a single, "Congratulations, Toshiyuki". With most of the class gone either in victory or defeat, the last person of interest to hand in his test was Zeke.
