One More Step! Chuunin In Sight? [NK]

"I had no reason to fight here today," Lucian called over his shoulder to Atem. "So, I took the clear path and simply did not fight you. Isn't that reason enough?"

No, probably not the most useful answer, but it was all Atem would get, because just as Lucian finished speaking the crowd erupted. Even the sun deigned to show itself at this time casting long shafts of light around the arena. Truth be told it was all quite picturesque. Not once did the Nazar look back at the scene behind him, why should he? There were more important things to do after all. If Atem wanted more of an answer he'd have to find Lucian on his own time.

[Gonna do a little RP for the royal highness if you don't mind, nothing outlandish.]

As Atem was being blocked from the royal woman he would hear her say, "Very well, I will grant you two with a mission of your own behind the scenes. Make sure you are prepared for it." She said in a soft tone. It was very odd because as she said this it felt as though he and her were in another dimension although he could not see her he could feel her. "Some presence." Atem said in his head. "I see, will do your highness and sorry for the outburst, but I have already taken one lost and wanted to regain some sort of moral about myself." Atem said towards the inside of the arena and hopping off. He then took his exit through the same tunnel Lucian went in, he vowed to himself he would find him as he needed answers that were actually satisfactory.

Lucien would simply go onwards and watch the reactions. As Atem was explaining, Lucien would watch his exit and nod to all on-watchers. This was in such a way that it showed agreement. "Well well well, what a peculiar day so far this has been. Just when I thought I'd be able to get into some sort of sparring or fighting. Hmm, I've got my time and today seems to not be it. Fair enough. That guy however, what's with him... Regardless of that, if we've won by default, I'm one step closer to Chuunin am I not? In that case, I'll prove myself then. So now... I'll take my leave and follow up on the 3rd mission.
