(Day 4, LM) Mandatory Event: Weaponry

[Kaiu Aiichiro]

"Oh, it would make the thing less... Tranquil? I wouldn't like to make a fool of myself in front of Hiruma-sensei."

[Ikoma Eichiro]

((OOC: I also received treatment at the shrine))

Eichiro seems a little confused, and looks a little more closely at Kaidan. "You created a treatment and gave it to the monks at the shrine? That's where I was treated and I assume it was their blessings that helped."

[Yasuki Ginkarasu]

"I just figure we might want an option for if the magistrate is concerned. And Hiruma-sensei is an ally, I'm sure she'd be saving her judgement for any events."

[Bayushi Kaidan]

((OOC: I also received treatment at the shrine))

Eichiro seems a little confused, and looks a little more closely at Kaidan. "You created a treatment and gave it to the monks at the shrine? That's where I was treated and I assume it was their blessings that helped."

"Your brethren, Matsu san and Akodo san came to me for help last evening. I was in the temple grounds training Ninya." He showed the kitten in the box. "I found her two days ago. I had to use some of the offerings to Jurojin to neutralize the poison."

[Kaito Haruki]

Toshimoko nods at Mai. However, Akodo Eiko announces that Hitoshi has an official warning, and any further infraction will be removal from the tournament. Additional, he will suffer a -40 Topaz Point penalty. and receive no points for this test.

Hitoshi and Toshimoko both look at the Akodo and state, before Hitoshi storms off..

Haruki looks over to the judges at this declaration, keeping a stone face.

[Yasuki Ginkarasu]

Ginkarasu is at an utter loss for a few events., and looks around the crowd in the off chance his Hiruma ally was watching. And also about the hunting thing.

[Vutall]

Kagehiro is there, observing, but standing with the other judges.

[Yasuki Ginkarasu]

Ginkarasu bows to his friends and moves to get in a spot he can wave at Kagehiro, bowing once she notices him.

[Vutall]

She bows to Ginkarasu

Hello again, Yasuki-san. I hope you have been well."

[Yasuki Ginkarasu]

He smiles, "Hai, I have! I hope you've been well! It's been an honor to test myself here, though I wish I'd done better then Hida-Kami against Shinjo-kami, when I got put up against a Unicorn today."

He frowns though shortly after. "I guess I gotta couple questions though, if you've got time?"

[Kokyou]

Kokyou cocks his head back in a wince mentioning, “I got a swollen eye 'n no points were taken away from me sparrin' partner. 'twas all fair 'n square 'n part o' th' competition. Nah sure wha' happened thar wit' Hitoshi-san fer such a reaction from th' sensei.”

[Kaito Haruki]

"Akodo-sensei, a quick question if you wouldn't mind?"

[Ikoma Eichiro]

"Well, I thank you for the assistance, Bayushi-san." Eichiro bows respectfully, "I was not aware of your part in my recovery."

"I-" he is interrupted by the ruling on the field, "One moment please, Bayushi-san. There is a thing that I must attempt to do."

He rises, motioning to the rest of the Lion contingent to follow, and approaches the judges stand, waiting to speak with Akodo Eiko when he is available.

[Kaiu Aiichiro]

He frowns. He saw Qiang do the same thing.
Lions were supposed to be a honorable breed. And to think he admired him before!
Aiichirō goes outside quietly.

[Vutall]

"Not now, Isawa-san, Ikoma-san I have more matches to judge."

The old General seems quite distressed, his eyes glancing somewhere out in the crowd..

Toshimoko calls his next contestant forward, and anfter a few minutes, says "Akodo-sama, your contestant, please?"

THe generalshakes his head and nods to Toshimoko, calling forth another student, and looking quite unwell.

[Vutall]

He smiles, "Hai, I have! I hope you've been well! It's been an honor to test myself here, though I wish I'd done better then Hida-Kami against Shinjo-kami, when I got put up against a Unicorn today."

He frowns though shortly after. "I guess I gotta couple questions though, if you've got time?"

"What can I do, Yasuki-san?"

[Yasuki Ginkarasu]

He fidgets a bit. "Do you want the fun question or the difficult question first?"

[Ikoma Eichiro]

Eichiro plants himself in the room, strategically plotting a courtier ambush for later.

He pulls out a fan and motions to Bayushi Kaidan to join him in his new place among the contestants so they may continue their conversation.

[Matsu Qiang]

He rises, motioning to the rest of the Lion contingent to follow, and approaches the judges stand, waiting to speak with Akodo Eiko when he is available.

"Not now, Isawa-san, Ikoma-san I have more matches to judge."

After finishing his match, Matsu Qiang approached when Eichiro beckoned him over. There he observed the old general dismissing them.

"Eh, Ikoma-san? What's going on?" he asked, turning to the courtier.

[Kaito Haruki]

Haruki pulls out a fan, pretending to cool off while whispering to Kenji-san. "I didn't see where, but Akodo-sensei's eyes moved. Someone's got a bigger stake in this than they're letting on."
