Several people still had to redo Level 2, swimming around the ship. Serena T and Haley seemed to be tiring so much so that it seemed best that they drop out of the game. However, Serena B and Haven successfully managed to pull ahead, Serena first and then Haven. Still, four were left to struggle. Michael and Aurora hovered at the very back of the pack, where Pax and Kim were going to have to watch out for them. Florian also seemed to be having a hard time, though they had managed to pull ahead slightly more than Greta, who was sadly trying her best.

Most who were on the final level of swimming managed to make it pass. Louca would find himself spurred with energy and cross first, Stephen close behind him, and Della close behind him. Aryaan trailed a little way behind, but still managed to cross the finish line in decent time, Akira and Oliver crossing soon after. Last but by no means least were Reena and Nessie, the final of the finishers.

However, there were still several who just couldn't finish in time. Quentin and Chiaki swam side by side as they tried to make it, but just fell short. Just behind was Astrid, also so close but just failing to reach the finish line. Struggling a lot further back were Marina, Elena and Santario, who Pax made a mental note to watch out for.

To begin the second round, the contestants would need to climb on board the ship, which most managed with ease.

Romeo succeeded with ease, racing up. Just behind was Lysander, who caught up after a slower start. Soon after Lysander had made it, Sara, Katherine and Howard both finished and made it to the top, quickly followed by Hadrian and then Verona.

Scrambling up quickly after them was Raphael and then Ayako. Just after them, they came Bloom then Aurelia to round up the group that made it onto the ship.

Unfortunately, Vivienne just fell at the last rung, and Evelynn would fall a little before her. Angelique would struggle quite quickly as well, and then fall into the water, so all would need to re-climb.

"You've got this!" Pax yelled down to all the contestants. "You can do this!"

Running [ Level II ]

Ah, how refreshing it is to be out of the water. While pulling himself up from the depths of water, Sara slightly shivered from the cold wind that pricked his skin. How icy. He had never missed being in the comfort of his clothes. His earlier robe would be fine too! Alas, he didn’t have the luxury of being warm. The downfalls of his easily cold nature. Thankfully, it didn’t hinder his task. Climbing was just like any other obstacle course, right? All you needed was a little bit of strength, and you’re good! Alas, some didn’t have enough or were unlucky. He had dared to look back for a mere second and squirmed at his fallen comrades, temporarily forgetting this is a competition and not a group exercise. They will be fine! He believed in them.

At least he could appreciate how he wasn’t alone this time. He had nearby comrades this time! (Katherine and Howard). It’s a shame he wasn’t closer friends with them. He would have loved to give/have a motivational support boost. Like a hug maybe. Because oh my god it was cold. Fortunately the sun was there to warm him up in a bit. The next task should be relatively easy as well. Yeay!

Louca was bound and determined to pass this level. At first he had wanted to win, but now he just wanted to make sure he finished. It would be better if he was one of the leading people but not as necessary as it had felt at the beginning. Pulling hard in the water, using his arms, the muscles starting to burn, he powered through, carefully moving through each obstacle, while also keeping an eye out for any balls flying through the air. He stayed focus on the end point, not wavering once. Reaching it, he flipped onto his back and floated, throwing his hands up in the air. "Yeah! That was awesome!" Looking back, he saw that shockingly he was the first to finish this round. That had been unexpected but he was extra happy to see that.

Trying to see ahead, he waited for the others to finish their rounds so that the next round could commence. He caught his breath, letting himself float in the water as he waited to give his muscles a break. The water felt so peaceful after the energetic pace set in the swimming rounds, but the sun was rather inconveniently placed so he had to keep closing his eyes to keep from blinding himself. He could also feel the heat on the parts of his body that rose above the water, knowing that if he stayed like this too long, he'd end up with a sunburn.

Florian decided that sure, he would have another go, and off through the water he went once again. Yet, once again, the boy struggled to even stay afloat. His arms simply couldn't keep himself afloat as he doggy paddled his way foreword, trying to keep up with the two that had managed to sail past him with what seemed to him like relative ease. He was, of course, once again proud to say that he wasn't last, as there was a girl right behind him, as well as two others rather far behind, but honestly, this was just becoming ridiculous and infuriating to the young French boy. He tried to keep his eyes on the two in front and imitate their arm movements, but they were just too fast, and his arms were just too noodley. This simply wasn't acceptable.

Florian was beginning to get hot headed, but he took a moment to try and think of the positives. Firstly, this helped to show him a glaring hole in his training regiment; that of his arm strength. Florian typically found himself stronger than his siblings, but that wasn't saying much, especially now. Secondly, it was clear he lacked endurance. He would certainly have to up his training, especially with the Hexwizard tournament looming closer. Filling his head with thoughts of winning and new additions to training, Florian decided to attempt the second level once again. And this time, he felt he would make it.

Roleplaying as Akira Shimizu from Mahoutokoro

Outfit: Swimsuit

She could have certainly been faster, but Ayako made it atop the ship. She made a mental note to practice her climbing when she returned to Mahoutokoro, but that wouldn't help her in the moment, so she returned her attention to the next event, which was - as far as she knew - a simple running event. One lap around the ship.

...but, of course, it wasn't a simple running event. There were fiery flowers on the ground and being scattered into the air by stray footsteps.

The cool breeze as she began her lap was rather uncomfortable, especially in her wet swimsuit. She'd have felt much better about the whole thing if the swimming had been the last round of the triathlon, but it was certainly safer to have swimming as the opening event, in case of fatigue near the end. Still, running a lap in a swimsuit without shoes wasn't ideal.

She made the best of it, beginning her attempt and dodging the fiery flowers as best she could.

As she ran, she made every attempt to get a good look for Chi. She'd lost her in the commotion, unfortunately.

It was strange. Ayako wasn't normally the type to concern herself with others at all. Not since the incident with her father. But now? She found herself worrying about Chi and becoming distracted from the event. What a strange development.

She couldn't let it continue. She'd have to have a mind of steel if she was to improve herself and support her mother. It was the least she could do, and if Hiro and Chi kept distracting her as they had lately, she would never earn her gold robes. She would never get a successful career and allow her mother an early retirement.

A mental image of an archery range appeared in her mind's eye, but standing between her and the target were her friends - Hiro and Chiaki - and her mother, Hide. She held her bow at the ready. The arrow was nocked. All she needed to do was to release it and let it fly.

As she did so, the arrow soared true, striking the target with precision, and her friends were pushed from her mind as she ran the lap.

At times, I found myself not even using the ladder while making the climb up the side of the boat, my shoulders burning as I used both lower and upper body to make leaps and bounds on the side of the ship's ladder and small nooks of the starboard. Breathing slowly and deeply, I continue to dig my fingertips into each handhold, taking a rope here, snatching at the ladder there... Climbing to the side in order to eventually climb up again at an easier spot... it is a game of right handholds and good footing, as well as brute strength and the ability to lift your body weight against the incessant tugging of gravity.

Not too far below me, I spot our swift Chaser, Lys. I nod to him quickly; "Hey Lys! Keep it up, okay? We got this in the bag!" A hearty grin and I finally pull myself over the ship side.

A lap around the ship? I'm in tip-top shape. I can do this.

Bouncing for a second before starting a leisurely jog, I keep a pace I am comfortable with as opposed to one that is too ambitious or too close to a sprint. As they say, slow and steady does indeed win the race.

Howard did not know Pax very well. In fact, he barely knew them at all, but their words of encouragement would fuel his actions. He did have this! He could do this! As the Dhampir looked around he would not be discouraged by those that were moving through the course faster than he. Perhaps only Merlin or someone skilled in the arts of divination could know who would be the victor at the end of the day, but that worry too seemed to fade from Howard's mind as he focused on the task ahead. Sure, he wanted to win. The competitive fire within him could not be extinguished, though at this point it became more important to just see this thing through to the end. Another personal challenge for him to complete. Howard had accomplished a lot and overcome many obstacles in his sixteen years of life and to cross the finish line of this event would be another to add to the list. So, he climbed.

Long arms and clawed hand reached high and began to pull Howard up the side of the boat. Just as he had done in the water he attempted to keep a steady and manageable pace. It may not put him into first place, but again he would succeed the round and stave off failure for another turn. Soon enough he would reach the top and now it was time to run.

ACTION Running Level 2

One hand grabbing the rope after another as she was climbing out of the water. The sensation of feeling gravity and her weight after for so long feeling as light as a leaf. Bloom felt her arms come back and shaking after using them nonstop in the water. Now she was using all her might to get up onto the ship. Luckily, she made it.

When she lifted her legs over, she landed on the deck of the ship. Looking around, she saw a lot of other people were either making their way up or also arriving. Of course, Howard, was probably already running. Knowing him and his competitiveness, he was probably close to finishing the lap. Bloom took a second to herself as she felt like heaving. Coughing a few times, she regained her composure. She was unsure of how long she was going to last, but Bloom was thankful that there was a break for her arms and now it was focused on her legs.

Bloom, standing, could feel the boat slightly rocking. It made sense as it was on water. Taking a deep breath, she began to run around the ship, unsure of what there was to expect.
