[Doji Nanako]

Nanako didn't know much about weapons repair. The last time she was asked to assist in such an honorable endeavor, her unfortunate nature almost started a fire in the smithy.

Her lack of experience in this regard showed in the rather lackluster work on the blade but, soldiering forth, she acquitted herself well in clambering about the obstacle course.

Still, unleashing her abilities against the target dummy, she failed to cut deeply enough for the strike to be considered successful. All in all, not a great outing but one that the morose Doji had come to expect. She left to go find a cat to smother her feelings of failure and inadequacy in.

[Ender]

Seppun Hitomi is patiently waiting for all the contestants to complete their courses. As they are done, she confers with Utaku Enkhtuya. After a few moments, she stood before everyone, summoning forth the winners.

"Togashi Shinko-san." She looked to the Dragon warrior, bowing her head. "You did well."

"Akodo Michi-san." To the Akodo Commander, she stepped closer, bowing her head deeper. "A credit to your school and family. Well done."

And finally, she approached Ikoma Aya. In her hands, was a copy of her novel, The Wind Princess. It is clearly a 1st edition, and she opens it, making sure to gracefully sign her name within it, before handing it over to the Lion warrior. "Congratulations, on being the winner of this Test, the Test of the Warrior." She bows deeply.

She bowed again, before dismissing all.
