Second Round Duel Chunin Exams

“You better save your frustration for your opponent later,” said Dans casually.

“Welcome to the second half of the chunin exam. In this round, each participant will be drawn to fight one on one with the other participants fairly. The losing participants are declared dead and will be immediately eliminated from the event this time. The winning participant will then return to fight with other participants one on one according to the chart that has been prepared,” suddenly heard the sound of the HLF system amid the commotion Hanz and Dans.

“One person who ultimately becomes the winner will be declared a jounin pass on Naruto Shippuden's server. Fifteen of the other participants who failed were still declared to pass as chunins on Naruto Shippuden's servers. We will display the chart for you, later we will also download your ID number,” connect HLF system voice.

In the sky suddenly appeared a battle chart with 16 empty boxes at the very bottom, the box was where the participant IDs would be drawn. Before long the numbers began to appear in the box randomly and very quickly, everyone in the place looked up to the sky except for one person next to Hanz.

“Byakugan yes?” raffa muttered when he saw the man near Hanz did not move his head at all, only the veins near his white eyes looked tense like a byakugan user in general.

The numbers in the 16 boxes finally stopped, everyone did not speak in the slightest. Other than Reina and Hanz who had said her ID number earlier, everyone in that place had no idea who the person she was going to fight against would be. The first two people who will fight are the owners of ID 74 and 105.

In the second game is Rafsa who has ID 100 against ID 261. Then there is ID 863 vs 98, ID 10,782 vs 35,789, ID 36,722 vs 207,548, ID 58,645 vs 357,334, ID 258,168 vs 11, ID 144,635 vs 146,258. So in total there will be 8 matches going on.

Rafsa is in a pretty tough group because there are two beta testers that are on an adjacent chart. Reina was in another group. Indeed, the ID number that shows its ability is only applicable to beta testers only, because ID numbers 100 to hundreds of thousands are only sorted by the time they order HLF devices they do. So even though his ID number is hundreds of thousands but his ability could be equivalent to that of having hundreds of ID numbers.

“In fact there are also many people with HLF IDs up to hundreds of thousands who managed to qualify for this round and become chunin,” Inner Rafsa saw there are users who have ID numbers hundreds of thousands.

“Does this mean that there are only three beta testers taking the Chunin exam this time? Or maybe there is another beta tester who participated but lost in the battle royal round earlier?” think Rafsa.

“Hah, we'll see Dans soon! I hope you've prepared yourself!” hanz shouted while pointing at Dans.

“Reina, did you beat Sebastian?” asked Dans who completely ignored Hanz's words.

“I don't know him,” replied Reina lightly.

“Cih. Basic!” grumbled Dans who still continued to stare into the sky.

“What does that mean there are other beta testers who took this exam but failed in the first stage?” batin Rafsa while paying attention to the behavior of Dans who he suspects as a user with ID number 74.

“Your ID number has been drawn. The rules of the second half exam are very simple, you will fight one-on-one with a predetermined opponent, the person whose body disappears is declared defeated,” sounds HLF system back talking.

“First match. ID number 74 against ID number 105 please start,” further sound HLF system.

Dans immediately stepped into the arena, everyone there immediately turned their attention to Dans. Shortly after from Rafsa's side stood a man with a caping on his head as well as parts of his nose and mouth covered by a black cloth almost similar to Kakashi's style.

“So you're a user with ID 105 yes,” said Dans while staring at the man who just climbed into the arena.

“It looks like there is no cue from yes,” said the man with ID 105. His right hand immediately pulled out a kunai.

“Yes, you can advance whenever you want,” Dans said without the slightest fear.

‘Bbbsshh’

Everyone who was in that place was stunned in silence. They never expected that the man who was the opponent of Dans would eliminate himself, Dans even looked very shocked when he had been preparing to fight.

“Crazy people,” said a few people who were at the place.

“Although this is just virtual reality but it definitely takes great courage to do such a thing. Was he not worried that he would actually die?” muttered Rafsa who was also very surprised to see him.

“ID number 74 wins the match, ID number 105 has been eliminated.” There was the sound of the HLF system coming back, that's when Dans just moved his body. He slowly descended from the arena with a face as if in disbelief if his enemy had even eliminated himself from the match.

“It seems he is very afraid of dealing with beta testers like us Dans,” Hanz said proudly.

“No, from his face did not look the slightest fear. I'm sure from the beginning he did intend to resign from this second round, Reina's inner”.

“ID number 100 will be faced with ID number 261. Please start the fight,” heard the sound of the HLF system again give its direction.

Rafsa went straight into the arena, followed by a man standing by Reina's side. The tall man immediately looked at Rafsa who had already climbed into the arena first. Now that the attention of the people seemed to have been diverted from the strange incident, they began to turn their eyes to the middle of the arena where the second match was about to begin.

“I'm Leonard,” said the man as he stared at Rafsa.

“I Raffa,” reply Rafsa while staring back at the man named Leonard.

“Dans I hold Leonard, bet one hundred thousand ryo,” challenge Hanz invites bets.

“I receive!” dans replied while staring at Rafsa from a distance.

“Cih, they treat us like goods,” said Rafsa with a look of annoyance.

“I don't mind,” said Leonard as he darted forward with a kunai unsheathed.

Rafsa quickly managed to dodge to the right side without moving from his standing position, even just a blink of an eye Rafsa counterattacked by swinging his right fist towards Leonard's stomach. But his opponent turned out to be quite nimble, he was able to dodge it by moving his body to the left side.

Now that their bodies face each other, Rafsa quickly lowered his head and swung his legs semicircle eyeing the opponent's legs, but Leonard held off the pounding of Rafsa's feet using the sole of his left foot. From under Rafsa threw the shuriken towards his opponent's chest.

“Shuriken: kage bunshin!” said Rafsa, a shuriken that he threw suddenly became a dozen that immediately shot up to successfully hit the body of his opponent.

‘Phhoffh.’

But Leonard's body suddenly disappeared just as dozens of shuriken owned by Rafsa about the collapse.

“Bunshin? Since when?” inner Rafsa.

“Jinton: genkai hakuri no jitsu!” suddenly Leonard's voice came from above the sky.

“Kekkei Tota of Onoki?” raffa's mind, shocked to hear the sound of Leonard already in the sky, his head immediately looked up to see a flash of white light that shot down.

Seriate…
