With that another Man would enter the mess hall and call everyone. "You have ten minutes to finish eating! After head to the formation area and get ready for the Squad Leaders tests!" This had been the person in charge of the training and general discipline at this trainee camp. Mirin and Hunter would know his as Sergeant Vain. Something about him would likely put most people who made direct eye contact on the defensive. His whole air made it feel like he would attack at any moment. Most could feel the air pressure in the room change whenever he was near by.

Hunter looks over at the Sergeant coming in, calling out to the gathered trainees. He himself wasn't hungry, and he glances over at Mirin.
"Did you want to wait in here, or out there?"
And even though Hunter feared no man... he kind of wanted to walk around the Sergeant if they were going out that way.

Mirin would start stuffing the rest of the berries into Hecate's mouth. The owl flaps in shock but manages not to die.
"Let's go!!"
She grabs Hunter's arm and despite feeling weird around Vain, she doesn't try to avoid him in any way as she heads for the formation area.

Vain is out at the training area, and around him are a few other trainers they were used to, and other people standing around in a circle talking. A large anthropomorphic Earthling with a broadsword on his back, a Female wearing camo pants, boots and a white shirt, and a man with a green uniform and green hair. They didn't give Hunter and Mirin any attention right away until they realized how large they were. The conversation stopped as all their heads turned to look at the large people. Not entirely out of the ordinary, it was still rare to see people that large.
The green haired man smiled and waved before pulling the conversation back in. One by one the others rejoined the talks. Vain however, would point to the formation area for them to stand and wait.

Hunter is dragged!
He stares back at the people in the circle, frowning, mostly due to a lack of knowing who they are.
"...do you think those are the special visitors?"
He asks, shuffling over to where Vain is pointing. He knows better than to cause a stink, right now.

Now it's Mirin's turn to be dragged because she pauses and grins, waving back at the green haired person.
"Huh? Yeah! That's got to be them! And look, we already got a wave from one of them. We are ACING this. They're all going to argue over who gets to have us!"
She takes her spot unable to help herself but watch the group talk. She's practically bouncing in place.

The recruits would trickle in standing in formation and waiting before Vain stepped forward once more.
"Alright recruits. Today you will be inspected on three tests. From those tests the Squad Leaders will judge each person and make a decision on if they will or not to choose you."
He'd begin pacing to make sure he could be heard by everyone, even though he was rather loud.
"The first test is going to be simple. A test of speed. You will sprint as fast as you can from one end of the training field to the other."
They would all move in formation marching to the field. Everyone would line up into multiple lines and attempt their timed sprint. Though every so often someone would trip somehow and fall on their faces. People Mirin and Hunter would have never seen so much as lose their balance on a tight rope, were suddenly clumsy and eating dirt.
Though it was not their turn to each attempt to pass the finish line.

"We will, but pay attention."
Hunter warns, watching as the others struggle with their sprints. At first, he considers that it's simply bad luck, but the more it happens, the more he feels like there's more to this than meets the eye. He checks the track as best he can beforehand to see if there's any sign of obstacles.
Then... all things considered, figures that they're some sort of ki abilities slowing them down.
As such, when it's his and Mirin's turn, he starts to move quickly, but not at top speed, trying to stay on guard!

"Aye, aye!"
Mirin watches the others go first, starting to sweat a bit as they all start to trip. She's notoriously clumsy, this does not bode well for her.
"Hunter...I'm DEFINITELY going to fall..." she'd whisper again, feeling a bit stressed out. She can't be eating shit in front of the recruiters!! That's so embarrassing!
Mirin also looks for any sign of traps. Sparkles here. Glints of light there? Invisible wires seen with dust being kicked up on them. Whatever it could be!

Mirin's focus on the field does not help when it finally happens! A rock, a pebble comes flying in from somewhere aimed under her shoe as she runs. It's smooth and slick, and big enough that it rolls when she lands on it! That is if she lands on it mid stride.
Hunter see's the same thing, a small round sparkly object comes flying in to get under his foot as he steps in his run to have him fall!
The marble is flying at a speed equal to a PL of 285.

"Don't fall."
He gives her... encouragement? as Hunter continues to run! While he sees the marble, it's probably too late to move his foot around it, so he slams it down on the object instead, aiming to either crush it or drive it into the ground so he can continue on unhindered!

Mirin would barely catch a glimpse of it, doing a clumsy leap to try and avoid it! It'd cost her some ground but she'd rather try to get back to running speed than face plant.

Hunter would crush the marble into the dirt and not suffer a sad face plant in front of everyone! Mirin's bit of a stumble to avoid it allows her to stay up as well.
However now each of them had to deal with an area of the field which looked like everything else, but was really covered in slick oil! The pebbles they were likely used to running on in parts of the training field had been covered in transparent slippery substances, only visible because it made them gleam as if wet. It was only a patch in the way, so it would be easy to just jump over or take a longer than usual stride to avoid it.

Hunter does what might be the most risky move yet.
He leaps as far as he possibly can, not just to dodge the patch that is visible, but to get as far as possible over any other potential traps!

Mirin, slightly behind him, follows his lead and tries to do a big 'ol leap! She kinda screams while she does it to psyche herself up.
