Chapitre 39: Second exam. ( Part 3 )

"Well isn't it Yasobi's team, Aryan said as he got up, and it looks like you have something we want '' He said as he pointed toward the winter scroll in Riku's bag.

"We won't give it to you" Riku said as he pointed the kunai at Aryan.

"Hey hey hey, you got me wrong there, I don't want to steal it from you, what we want it for is for the puzzle behind us" Aryan said as he pointed toward the wall behind him that had the puzzle in it.

"Gezzz, I really thought we were gonna attack them, '' Fuji thought as he took a sigh of relief.

"Do you think I am that heartless Fuji-senpai?" Aryan said as he pouted at him.

"What do you mean by the puzzle behind you?" Riku shouted as he didn't take his kunai down and so didn't his teammates.

"God!! You don't have to be this hard" Aryan said as he suddenly disappeared from Riku and his teammates' sight and appeared behind Riku and took the scroll. As soon as Riku realized what happened he knew if he attacked Aryan now he would be the one on the floor, and them being exhausted didn't help them even a bit and their reflexes are not at their best.

"You see, if I wanted, I would have already taken the scroll 30 minutes ago , at the time I sensed you and your team," Aryan said as he was juggling the scroll in his hand and was walking around.

"So are you going to listen to us Or not?" Aryan asked as he got away from them.

"Yes we will" Riku said he relaxed and sat down from the exhaustion and pod followed him as Yasobi stood still.

As soon Aryan heard the answer and seeing Riku and pod and sitting down, he threw the scroll to Yasobi and she caught it.

"Well Yasobi, follow me and both of you listen, we don't have much time to complete the puzzle because it looks like you have brought in some uninvited guest here." Aryan informed them as Yasobi followed him.

As Aryan showed Yasobi the tab in which the information was written and explained it to her. The stone tablet explains how to obtain the two scrolls at the same time of different names, meaning after completing the puzzle you can obtain both the scroll which were winter and summer. Which was perfect for both the teams, but to obtain it there was a difficult task to complete.

To obtain that you will need two members of two different teams, and both of them will need to run their chakra at the same speed in the wall cracks. If one goes even a bit further than the other or lags behind from the other , you will have to start all over again . And you get only three chances to obtain the scrolls if you don't complete it within three tries you the whole wall will be destroyed. So to complete it you not only need to be precise with chakra control but also need to be intuned with each other at every single moment even a mistake of a single millisecond can destroy the wall and lose the opportunity.

As Aryan explained the puzzle to the other team, they understood it easily, but knew that this was not going to be an easy task but still this was the best chance for them to obtain the scroll without any violence and to team up with another strong team that will help them.

"So who will be from your team that will do this task ? From our team it will be me." Aryan asked as he looked behind towards Riku and Pod.

"From our team it will be Pod that will do it, he has the best chakra control out of all of us and he has a decent amount of it too." Riku said as patted Pod back and encouraged him.

"Sure if you say Riku." Pod said as he got up and walked towards Aryan.

"Let's do this, in the first try" Pod said to Aryan as they had a hand shake.

"Sure before we start I would like to know at which speed you are comfortable to do this?" As Aryan asked him he gave him a thin long string .

Pod looked at the puzzle and had a good idea of what will be an optimal speed to complete it. As he understood what Aryan gave him the string for, he took the string and passed the chakar from it, at the speed that he thought was the best for him to complete the puzzle.

"Hummmm! At that speed it still takes approximately 20 minutes for it to complete" Aryan said as he looked at Pod.

"Wait what do you mean by that, do you think you will match my speed, and that is so after only seeing it once?" Pod asked Aryan in astonishment.

"Yep I will, it's easy to do that for me" Aryan said as he took his scroll and the other scroll from Yasobi's hand and inserted them into the wall so that they could start the puzzle.

"Just do go any further with him, he is like that all the time, he always thinks what he does is normal to others' ' Fuji informed Pod as he sympathizes with him, after seeing this happening countless times.

"Sure as you say, bro" Pod said as he went besides Aryan and placed his hand on the wall.

"So are you ready, Pod?" Aryan asked as the looked towards Pod.

"Yes I am" Pod replied as he looked at Aryan

"Then on the count of three, ok?" Aryan asked as he looked towards the wall.

"Yes" Pod replied as he also looked towards the wall.

"One, two, three" As soon as Aryan said three both of them started at the perfect time, the start was a success . Now all that remained was twenty minutes of twists and turns and it will be over.

All things were going smoothly till the 5 minutes mark, but as soon as they completed the twenty-five percent of the puzzle with the whole wall began to shake and a loud noise was made, this made Pod lose his concentration for a second and they failed this attempt. As the chakra dispersed in the wall.

"Shit, that was unexpected" Pod said in frustration and punched the wall.

"Don't worry, you were doing great till now, it's nothing I am sure we will do next time." Aryan assured Pod as he was down .

"But the problem is that people will come here running because they heard the loud sounds of the wall, in fact they are already on their way here." Aryan informed the others as he took a pause .

"How much time till they are here Aryan?" Fuji asked as he was a bit concerned.

"Approximately 10 Minutes" Aryan said as he was thinking what to do.

"Ok you guys continue the puzzle and we will stop them till you are finished. And after that I am sure you could take care of them, Aryan" Fuji said as he showed his full trust in Aryan.

"Hump, you trust me too much Fuji-senpai but still I will do as you say this time." Aryan said as he had a little smirk on his face.

"Sure we will help him stop them too" Yasobi assured as she clapped her fist to her palm.

"So are you ready , Aryan?" Pod asked as he looked at Aryan.

"Sure let's do this" Aryan said as he came towards the wall with confidence and pride.
