Zeren rolled his eyes. "I meant ideas for a way down people. I think it's pretty logical to assume that this sword was supposed to split. They have the other half, so let's just get down together. It would suck if I got a bad score thanks to you screwing up."
After another look down the cliff, he sighed. "Ah well, if you're not gonna help, I'll make it down myself. Don't die."
And with that, he jumped off the cliff.
As he fell, he saw Tsuzuki still hanging, and couldn't resist a jab.
"Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee " he called out as he shot downward.
Well, that was fun. Now to the problem at hand: the ground. Landing would break more than his leg bones, and his momentum and damaged hands wouldn't allow him to imitate Tsuzuki's little trick. Zeren thought of something, it wasn't the most safe strategy, but he may as well try.
Now nearing the floor, he took out his katana, and threw it diagonally to his side. Immediately, he used his Substitution jutsu, and swapped with his katana. Once he landed on the floor, he used the diagonal momentum to roll across the floor. And just like that, he was fine. Well, excluding the soreness rolling across stone does to you, and the heart-stopping surprise he had when is katana stabbed the floor, barely missing his hand.
Zeren got up, and faced above him. He wondered how they two would get down here. Kaori had similar justus as him, so that was possible, and Senshi had those vines of his.
Zeren's thinking was cut short by something. Was someone watching him? He turned around, holding the sword firmly.
Minral grinned at the sight before him. Zeren got the sword, and didn't look too bad. He even found a quick way down, even if it was a bit risky.
Suddenly, he heard two people landing a somewhere away. The two students must have finished as well. Minral quickly ran off, his movement spooking Zeren.
Minral then walked through what was seemingly nowhere and took the sword. He gave a small nod.
"Adequate work. Although, if you do not see me around, you don't have to worry. Simply stay where you're supposed to be, and don't wander. I don't want to deal with two dumb students who got lost thanks to their impatience."
He sighed, and stabbed his sword into the dirt. "I suppose we'll wait until the others are ready. I may as well get to know you two. What are your names?" he asked , completely forgetting that their names were called out in the ceremony.
