"..." Rio didn't have to do anything for Chunji to move. With Rio's request fulfilled, there was no need for him to stay any longer. Leaving the half-elf and martial artists behind, he made his way back up to the stage.
Coming up to Otis, he stared at the shorter owl boy before sending a mental request. 'May I have a chair?' It was respectful and long enough for Chunji to say. He wasn't a conservationist, nor did he strive to become one, either. Blunt, short, and concise responses were what he preferred at all times. The blunt, short, and concise answer would also be appreciated, considering the time limit of forty-five seconds left.
Though exchanges must be mutually beneficial for them to be facilitated, from what he had seen from the owl boy, the boy was something of a schemer of sorts. Plans require information, and information must be discovered. Fortunately for them, both Chunji had that exact ability as his main selling point. Leaning forward, he whispered into Otis's ear. "I'll lend you my sight for one time if you do." That was the highest offer he could give to the Strigidae.
"We'll discuss the details later." With that, Chunji, after finishing his conversation. He said what he wanted to say, and now wasn't a time to have a conversation.
While waiting to see if his appeal worked on the owl boy, Chunji was left with his thoughts. The academy truly was a peculiar place. To have their potential students fight amongst each other, invite strange applicants, and have a demented student as a proctor. Though for the first year opening its gates, it couldn't be helped. It was a trial run or sort, and Chunji expected that it'd be revised in the coming years.
There were many other things to think about. As had been expected, there was someone else, other than the crying infant of a proctor, who was watching the process. A woman, a teacher more precisely, had controlled along with her automation lizard. It wouldn't surprise him if she had more than one, but it seemed a complicated tool to reproduce. However, her appearance meant an increased urgency in getting a chair.
The other was the 'limp' girl. For the first time in many years, Chunji felt fear pulsate for a brief moment in his heart. Though as quickly as he came, Chunji silenced that feeling. All that was left was confusion. What had he just seen? Whatever it may be, it was alive and very much aware. Did the academy even know about this? How could they invite something like that inside into the academy? A rare sigh escaped Chunji's mouth as his eyes stayed clear of the 'limp' girl. It wasn't his concern either way. While he knew the occult, he wasn't an expert on the demonic.
What really needed to be concerned about now was getting a chair and taking a seat.
