"I think there's no way around at least showing a little of what you can do," Kai said in thought as he glanced at the others. 'I mean well have a pretty big repertoire, just showing a thing or two won't really give us away."

"I'll give myself away easily," Hazel eventually commented, clearly concerned.

"Just do something simple. Make a fire or something. That can be the result of so many things." Juliet told Hazel with a smile.

"But people wouldn't be able to tell just how many elements you can control right?" Liza wondered for a moment as she turned towards Hazel. "Like if you just use fire and lighting or something like that, basic stuff, at least...I think so."

"Yeah...actually Hazel does have a bit of a problem in that regard," Kai pointed out, frowning a bit. 'Fire users have probably gone up already, so you'll have to show you can control various elements without giving away the full scope of it."

"Great," she simply sighed.

"Not looking forward to this," Ant said.

"I'll win them over by turning into a dog," Bria replied, trying to make herself feel at ease.

"That'll charm them no doubt." Rick told Bria brightly. "I'll do some silly ninjitsu thing."

"Yeah you've got an easy win," Kai pointed out towards Bria. 'Anyways, one of us should go..." he glanced at Liza for a moment before pushing her forward.

"Hey!" she yelled out in protest, glaring at a whistling Kai as the crowed turned towards her. "Just...great," she frowned as she walked forward, glancing at the inspectors.

"Name and show of your skill," one of them said monotonally, staring at the girl.

"Liza Pierrot," Liza said nervously, looking around at the crowd. "As for my Skill," she stretched her hand out, closing her eyes before summoning Jean forth, the knight-like Familiar stretching its lance out and firing a bolt of lightning into the sky, causing the crowd to stare in awe. 'That," she said simply, trying her best to smile confidently.

"...all right, you may pass."

"Pretty obvious how I'll be getting in," Mordic commented with a dry chuckle. "Intimidation does wonders."

Hazel went up next. She then froze. She couldn't tell her name... that'd be far too risky. Something on the fly had to work... "Uh, my name's Ha..." she slowly, and then quietly, trailed off. She had to think.

"Zel..... uh, da?" she then said, though it definitely came off more as a question. She then swiftly began to demonstrate a few of her water tricks. Avoiding the question of her last name was important. First creating water in its basic, liquid form, Hazel then froze it into ice. It eventually evaporated into the air.

Juliet figured she might as well go next after Hazel. A mischievous glimmer in her eyes, she stepped up. "Juliet Alani. And this is my skill." Holding out her hand she summoned a large trio of fireballs and casually juggled them. The finale was to make them explode in a burst of PSI to create fireworks.

Nova coughed into his helmet loudly when Juliet used his last name. He composed himself before walking out there after Juliet. He walked past her quickly, only able to offer a very flustered congratulations at her display.

Subtlety. He introduced himself as "Aster" before taking out a card. Be calm, cool, collected. He channeled a bit of energy into the playing card. Be calm. Just give them something small.

What happened was a large beam pillared into the sky, blowing away a portion of a cloud. The beam continued for about four seconds, before dying down into a small ray-like particle.

Nova was silent for a moment. Then bowed quickly, and walked just as quickly out of the field. That was embarrassing.

Ant went up. "The name's Antonio," he simply said. "I control plants." With this, large, seemingly dangerous venus flytraps begin to spring from the ground, snapping wildly at the audience. Within a moment, a large vine began to swing around, sharp thorns decapitating each of the plants.

Ammy stifled a groan at Hazel. Could the girl get any more conspicuous?

After Ant had finished his demonstration, Mordic decided to get the demonstration over with. "Tuan Kirie." The introduction was blunt, short, to the point - it reflected herself as a person rather well.

To start off, she dropped the temperature in the vicinity several twenty degrees. Then she put out her hands, and began to draw out moisture from her reserves, freezing the air on the subatomic level. This compacted visibly as a swirling sphere of ice, which gave off a teal glow, the air becoming even colder around her.

To end the demonstration, her arms began to elongate as they shifted into their more draconian counterparts. Claws tightened around the sphere of mystical ice, before tossing it into the air - it flew past normal humans' field of sight. Her pupils slit all the sudden. One of her dagger-like talons detached from its counterparts, ice shrouding it until it morphed into a massive buster sword that looked impossible for anyone to lift due to its colossal build. As the massive sphere of ice came hurtling down at terminal velocity, she lifted the blade as if it were weightless; waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Not five seconds later, she brandished the unwieldly blade, slashing with a wide, deadly arc and extreme precision. The strikes cut through the sphere of enchanted ice like a knife through butter; the flow was extremely natural, though she hadn't even come close to touching a blade in years. The remnants of the sphere suddenly exploded midair, dusting the arena with powder snow. The buster sword vanished as well as she reverted back to her normal appearance; likewise, the temperature rose back to its prior heat cycle.

She was duly aware that the demonstration had been a tad....flashy, for lack of a better term, but this was only a sample of her incredible power. She might as well have fun with it.

Juliet did her best not to snicker at Nova's... loss of control. It made her happy that she could still get him hot under the collar on demand. She smiled and went over to him and kissed him on the cheek. "Sorry love, I couldn't resist." Juliet didn't say she liked the sound of that name. It would be too forward.

Rick watched Mordic with a surprised grin. He'd never seen her use a sword. While he could tell that she was rusty, he could also tell that there was some real talent there. If she practiced... Rick chuckled. He'd never seen Mordic practice anything. She was just so naturally gifted. Smiling he congratulated her on her performance. "When were you going to tell me you were good with a blade? That was great." He told her before taking his turn. Making sure his helmet was on, he bowed to the judge. "Genji Shimada." He introduced himself before going into his performance.

Unlike the others for the most part, he went for something understate. Summoning a trio of shuriken, he flicked them casually at the judge. Vanishing from view, he reappeared in front of the man just in time to catch the blades in between his fingertips, in a nod to his sister. Turning to the judge. He once again bowed before vanishing in a puff of smoke, leaving only a single feather in his place.

"Tch... Baka, stealing my thunder." Ammy muttered under her breath, approaching the judges for her turn.

"Kagerou Shirasagi." She pressed her palms together in a standard ninjutsu pose, closing her eyes behind the cybernetic suit. Gradually, the area was flooded with clones of the ninja - all of them wielding dual katana blades. Ammy tossed her blades into the air - followed by the PSI carbon copies - which proceeded to change shape into raven-like creatures, taking to the skies and circling the group. They morphed together, forming a rather large wyvern-like monster. Ammy, who was still planted to the ground, distorted and vanished in a flash of energy; she reappeared above the dragon, snatching her blades out of the air, and used her momentum to completely bisect the manifestation with her freefall of sorts. Like fabric, it ripped and tore down the middle, dissolving in a curtain of stars and black energy.

Bowing, she vanished again, and reappeared besides Rick.

"Dont give me that look dear sister." Rick muttered when Ammy reappeared next to him. "After all, I was understated compared to the rest of them." He was still chuckling at what some of the others had chosen to show. "Especially you. Was all that really required? You don't want to show all your cards before the battles even start." Rick advised. "Except if you're Juliet and want to play with your food before eating it."

"Perhaps it wasn't completely necessary," she muttered, crossing her arms. "I just felt like one-upping you on a whim."

"None of what you guys did was completely necessary," Ant simply mused. He then glanced at Rick. "Genji? Really? Man, you're the whitest guy I know."

"Hey, at least its a name. I barely even thought of one," Hazel mused.

"Yeah, Ms. Uhda," Ant joked. Hazel's expression didn't change.

"An homage to a legendary ninja. My sister took a similar name for a reason." Rick remarked with a smile.

"All in favor of calling Hazel Miss Uhda forever." Juliet added.
