Fuji watched Marui's expression shift to unease as even Jackal fell to the noxious beverage. Two down now. Who was next?

"Marui," Yukimura prompted, and there was no room for negotiation in the command. Marui grimaced again, voiced a noise of disgust as he took the drink, and moved over by Jackal's limp form so as to have something soft to land on as he collapsed with a choked-out "Mazu...!"

Sensing his moment, Fuji stepped forward and accepted his glass. The vinegar was certainly potent. He held his breath while drinking, allowing none of the fumes into his nasal passage. Even with that, and his usual high tolerance for intolerable heat, his eyes stung by the time he finished the glass. Truly a formidable drink; Inui wasn't messing around with practice penalties this trip. Fuji plastered a big smile across his face and let out a satisfied sigh.

"How refreshing! This cleared my sinuses beautifully."

"Your eyes are watering, Fuji-senpai."

...Count on Echizen to call him out like a punk. Without faltering, Fuji turned to look at Echizen and sounded his agreement.

"That's how you know it's effective."
