"... The hell would you know?" Well, it did get her to stop. She paused in her tracks, glancing over her shoulder to the guy speaking to her. It'd be easy to ignore him but... No it wouldn't, curiosity was getting the better of her. Maybe she'd hear this guy out for a little bit longer, before she decided if he was crazy or not.

[[OoC: On her first attempt, she was outright too injured/exhausted to continue into the final round (along with one of her other teammates while the third made Chuunin that round). The second time she just plain didn't make it because, although she showed potential with her skills and prowess, tactically (and also due to temperament) she wasn't fit for promotion at the time. The third time she was a lot more strategic and was shown to be much less of a danger to herself and others and could in fact be a reliable asset on higher level missions - the thing that finally tipped promotion in her favour. It helped that she managed to get more control over her Kekkei Dota (Metal Style, a combination of earth, fire, and water chakras to manipulate the metal that she has on her) by the time the third examination came around. More info on that will be available when she's apped.]]
