Ranking of Xeos

*I stand on a large circular platform surrounded by water connected to the mainland by a bridge*

Water? yuck. *I walk toward Aeon* Kage..did you have to have the Ranking exams on such...yucky terms. *I wave my arms at the water*

Well....it's a test. I know you don't like water..so I'll see how you fight near it. *I rush at Xeos* Show me what you can do!

Damn..he's fast! *I draw Hono Tama* Take this!! *I raise my blade in the air and heat begins to swirl around it* Fire!! *I slam my blade downward and emt a flame trail toward Aeon*

Nope! *I stop and perform hand signs* Wind Style:Hurricane Wall!! *A wall of wildy spinning winds surrounds me as I deflect the flame trail*

Flame Style:Flame Jets!!! *My shoes begin to spit flames as I get launched above the Hurricane Wall* Turn up the heat!! *I sheath Hono Tama in mid air and perform hand signs* Fire Style: Phoniex Fire Jutsu!!! *I shoot mulitple fire balls in the Hurricane as smoke begins to emerge. I land on the ground* Got em!

Not at all.*I appear in the air and toss 3 Kunai with Exploding Tags on them*

No way!! *I toss 3 Kunai with Exploding Tags to match. The collide and then a huge explosion occurs. From the explosion I emerge within it. I absorb a small amount of fire from the explosion* Flame Style:Big Flare Bang!! *A large flame orb appears in my hand as I fire it toward Aeon*

Interesting. *I draw Tempest and Surge and place them in front of me.I get slighty pushed and land on the ground* That was strong Xeos.

...how?! *I begin to pant* I thought that would do something!! *I draw Hono Tama again and rush at Aeon. I begin to slash rapidly*

*I begin to block the slashes with Tempest and Surge. I intentionally leave an opening seeing if Xeos can see through his frustration*

*I notice Aeon takes an akward step in dodging put keep slashing wildly*

*I block Xeos slashes* Game...*I slash his sword away from him* ...Over. *I sheath my blades and walk over to him and offer him a hand* You noticed an opening right? But you chose not to take it. That can possibly be a good think..it means even through your rage and frustation you were still able to see the opening and act on it. But it could have been a trap for you to ignore the opening. Because I was able to catch the tempo of your slashes I was able to block them. Sometimes you must take risk and sometimes you should play it safe....learn when to balance both. The verdict...................Chuunin.

Understood. *I take the offer of his hand and stand up* I'll see you around.
