Shuusei Touma - ANBU Captain
ANBU Sennin Kogami's Representative
Another question, another class devoid of arms raised save for one. Hiraku was once again raising his hand to answer a question. Touma was pleased to see someone with some enthusiasm in the class. It made a class flow much more easily when there was a volunteer to answer questions. He nodded in Hiraku's direction, giving him the go ahead to answer the question. The way he answered seemed to lack full confidence, but it took some measure of confidence to raise his hand and answer to begin with while others sat silently. Touma could recall the slight tinge of fear that he would answer a question incorrectly in front of everyone. It was enough to make most students remain silent. Hiraku once again came to the table with a decent answer, though it wasn't a terribly difficult question. Touma nodded in agreement.
"Correct. The recon team isn't doing it's job right if the enemy knows they were ever there. Worst case scenario, if the enemy is aware of the recon and the recon team doesn't know it, they could offer up false information to fool the recon team. However, in the case that the team is discovered, they need to be fast in order to escape, or the information they've gathered means nothing,"</COLOR><i></i> Touma said, going in to slightly more detail. A hand raised from a new face this time, causing Touma to pause and nod in his direction to hear what he had to say.
"And you want the team to be small, because the bigger it is, the more opportunities for someone to get caught," the trainee said somewhat nervously, taking the queue to give answering a shot from his fellow trainees. Touma nodded.
"Right. Now ANBU are specialists at not getting caught, which is why they are good at reconnaissance generally. We have techniques specifically built to keep us from being detected. Once such useful technique is known as Active Camo. Some of you may have learned it, others may be working on it. I'll demonstrate," Touma said, standing up straight and placing his hands together to form the first seal. A series of seals followed much more slowly than normal as to allow the students to see each. As the last handseal was performed Touma's clothing began to take on the color of the wall behind him. In an instant, he was hardly visible to the trainees sitting in the classroom. After a few moments he let the cloak deactivate.
<COLOR color="#8000BF">"Well then, how about we do an exercise? Down the hallway, in room 402, there is another class being held. I want some information gathered, let's say... how many males and females are in the room? Naturally, they cannot know you are gathering this information or the task is failed. You can use whatever means you deem appropriate as long as nobody is hurt by it of course. Light property damage would be allowed, I suppose. Who's up to it?"<i></i> Touma said, taking a glance around the room.
"Actually, you've done well so far this class Kurosawa-kun, how about you give it a shot? Of course, if you can't figure out a way you can just come back,"<i></i> Touma would suggest. Given that he was willing to answer questions, perhaps he would also be willing to really try for the exercise.
OoC: The hallway is pretty plain. The floor is tile, nothing of interest. The ceiling is lined with fluorescent lights, a few of them flickering, as well as air conditioning vents. Steel doors line the hall numbered from 400 onward. 404 is just like every other door. There are no windows, just a shut soundproof steel door.
