Other World Chimera
Test starts

“Tests simple. The real me was at the center of the training ground with a totem like this.” Performing some hand signals quickly, a wooden totem pole appeared from under Yamato.

“Your test is to touch the pole at the end of the day. Oh and only the two of you will graduate, the third will be sent back to the academy, that's it.” Just like that Yamato and the totem pole disappeared into a puff of smoke.

"Well that is" the shrugged Tomoka turned to look at the two girls with a pouting face. It was then that he realized that unlike Hinata and Nozomi, he knew that the latter part was not real or completely.

"What are we gonna do? One of us will be sent back whatever happens” Worries painting Hinata's face tinged with a hint of despair as she clutched her hand to her chest.

“There must be a way for all of us to get through. It does not make sense if not” Nozomi himself decides to deny. He did not want to let Hinata or Tomoka get left behind. If push comes to shove then he will be the one to come back.

“For now let's ignore that. We will still fail if none of us succeed in graduating. Not to mention if we all touch it at the same time then there is nothing Yamato sensei.” can do Tomoka could have told them about the truth of this test. But he decided not to do it. This is a lesson they need to learn. Not to mention he doubted they would fail.

"You're right"

"Mrs." After receiving Nozomi and Hinata's answer, Tomoka started working.

"Well fine then. First, do you two have a plan, any ideas?” It was usually Tomoka who would take the lead, but he wanted the other two to grow as well, so this time he would reduce his input to a minimum.

“I have been practicing diligently as Tomoka said. Currently maximum two hundred meters.” Hinata has worked very hard to improve her byakugan. He had sharpened his eyes to the point that Tomoka had to tell him to rest or else he would hurt himself.

“Alright then, keep scanning that area at all times. Considering that Yamato-sensei used a difficult object to move as his goal, it was safe to assume that he would defend it through the use of terrain and traps. Tomoka nodded her head as she came to the same conclusion. She felt proud that Nozomi could manage everything by herself.

"understood. In that case I think one of Tomoka's clones should take the lead to be safe. I might not be able to find all the traps so having the clones that triggered them should be safer. This time Hinata offered a good idea. Once again Tomoka was proud to know that she trained both of them well.

“Hutan is not profitable for us because sensei is a wood style user. Tomoka you've practiced in this place before, right? Do you know the non-forest area leading to the center?” Again a good analysis from Nozomi. Unfortunately…

“No, sensei was smart in choosing this place. The only thing that can be called non-forested is a river that flows quite close to the middle. Besides nothing.” After receiving Tomoka's reply, Nozomi fell silent.

“I said we used it. We've learned to walk on water thanks to Tomoka. It would be safer as well, I doubt sensei could easily set up a trap in the river. Not to mention it gives Nozomi some environmental advantages. Hinata was right about the matter so it was already decided.

"Alright then, let's go with the plan" The person speaking was the still-buried Tomoka who was actually the real one. After all, she teased and kissed with her two girlfriends when she came to the training ground. There was no way he would hand such things over to one of the ghost-controlled puppets.

A moment later, the buried Tomoka broke through the ground and stood beside her girls while the doll moved towards the river. Everything's gonna be fun.
