During the interaction between Shizuka and the unconscious man; Kikai had remained eerily quiet. Observing in curiosity; with arms crossed and her usual rigid form remaining fast- with a few extra scrapes and bloodied parts that through supernatural capacity had already scarred over. Although the emotions, thoughts, train of conflict that clashed in the mind of Shizuka strained on for a time that may have felt much longer than she genuinely took.
At the moment of climax, with the blade puncturing the man; his eyes lulled open- through reflex, and not consciousness. And Kikai only drew a faint smile of satisfaction through the general turnout of the exam thus far; although the purpose of the end was obscure and ambiguous- it overall served a number of goals. Having let the body drop to the floor with a sloppy sound of flesh. The older woman had turned and watched Shizuka for a dawning moment, contemplating it seemed after the inquiry from the young girl.
"For now, you can rest. I will clean up; and deliberate over your actions today. In a day or so, you will know the results of your time here today." With narrowed eyes, she looked to the door across the room- as the room itself slowly cranked, screeched under the grinding of metal and eased itself to it's normal, bland and now spotted in blood room. "Dismissed."
Sometime later, once Shizuka had departed. Kikai would have taken some time to adequately dispose of the body through primary use of Dust Ninjutsu- leaving little to no trace of the body, blood and otherwise.
The following day; Shizuka would receive courier. In the letter was a simple form letter written by Kikai; detailing over-all satisfactory marks throughout the examination. Describing the intent of the exam wasn't to succeed necessarily in defeating the opponent; but knowing when to strike, defend, delay, endure and handle a number of tasks that each were high priority and prone to failure. In this, the young Genin had handled with a solid degree of judgement.
And thus; the bottom with a stamp. Declared that Kumogakure no Sato had acquired a fresh blood to the ranks of Chūnin.
