Chunin Exam: Preliminary round begins
After Issei and Karin came back, they only saw Lucoa and Ophis in the living room.
"Where did Furuichi go?" -Issei
"He said he will stay at Jiraiya's place until the next round begins." -Lucoa
"Like always huh. Well then, let's go put your belongings into your new room, Karin." -Issei
"Ye-" Suddenly, Karin lost her consciousness. Fortunately, Issei reacted and caught her before she fell.
"Karin." Issei shook her body lightly to wake her up, but nothing happened.
*Bzzt* *Bzzt* Issei's Digivice vibrated. He wanted to ignore it, but his Digivice keep vibrating, so he gave up and took it out.
{{{{{ Due to [Uzumaki Karin] used the chat group's system to learn her techniques, the system detected that her soul's and body's age do not match. Hence the system made her unconscious to make it easier to accelerate her soul's age by 1 year per day. She will regain consciousness after 4 days. P.S. She will not gain hunger, thirst, and so on as her body's state will remain the same as before this process begins. }}}}}
"So, what happened to her?" Lucoa asked after she saw Issei put his Digivice back.
"It's like this..." Issei then told her about when Karin learned her techniques with the help of the system and the message he got.
"I see." -Lucoa
"I'm counting on you in taking care of her in these 4 days, Lucoa-san." -Issei
"Leave it to me." -Lucoa
After that, Issei carried Karin to her new room and place her on the bed, then he brought out her belongings and place them on the shelf.

{{{{{ [Naruto world] July 5 (4 days later) }}}}}
Nothing particular happened in these 4 days.
Today, Karin regained her consciousness and woke up without any problem. She was a little confused when she woke up in an unfamiliar environment. After looking around and seeing Lucoa who was reading a book inside this room, Karin decided to ask her.
"Lucoa-san, where am I?" -Karin
"You're in your room right now." -Lucoa
"My room? But didn't I just came back from my house at Kusagakure?" -Karin
"That was 4 days ago. You lost your consciousness after we came back." Issei entered Karin's room, then he told her that why she was unconscious.
"Does that mean I'm 17 years old now?" -Karin
"Exactly." -Issei
After confirmed that Karin was fine, Issei went back to the living room. Karin and Lucoa also joined him after a while. Karin was surprised after knowing from Issei that he and others were from different dimensions, and was even more surprised after knowing their race.
While they're talking, Issei had Karin tried to learn the [Mystical Palm Technique (Shosen Jutsu)] that he went to ask Jiraya for its scroll when she's still unconscious, he remembered that there's a time that Karin using this technique in anime. But it's turn out that she's unable to learn it right now since her chakra control still not good enough.
Issei then let Karin read the information about chakra control and other things that Jiraiya uploaded in the chat group. He also suggested Karin focus on learning the shadow clone technique first to increase her learning speed. As Karin was quite intelligent, she managed to learn the shadow clone technique in 3 hours and her chakra was huge enough to create up to 20 shadow clones.
Now, with her intelligence and many shadow clones, Karin was able to improve her chakra control to the point that she could learn the [Mystical Palm Technique] in just 1 hour. The scroll disappeared from the item box after Karin learned it, and she didn't master it like the 2 abilities that she previously learned, which confused Issei a little bit but he didn't think much as the scroll was just a copy, and Karin could master it in no time with shadow clones help.

{{{{{ [Naruto world] July 6 }}}}}
Aside from Jiraiya, everyone was preparing to go to the tower as the second round of the Chunin Exam was about to finish. As for why Jiraiya didn't go with them was because he said going there doesn't benefit his research.
Everyone went to the room that they met the Third Hokage through Lucoa's portal. When they arrived, they heard an announcement telling them to gather in the main hall.
When Issei's group entered the main hall, Hiruzen came to talk with them as other Genins still not arrived yet.
"Did Jiraiya come with you guys? I couldn't find him after that day." Hiruzen tried to find Jiraiya but it seems that he didn't show up after Issei's and Furuichi's test.
"No, he didn't. He said coming here doesn't benefit his research." -Issei
"Is that so? *Sigh* So, this girl is the person that your another friend?" After he sighed about Jiraiya, Hiruzen turned to ask Issei while looking at Karin.
"Yes, she's Uzumaki Karin." -Issei
"H-Hello, nice to meet you." -Karin
"Nice to meet you too. Uzumaki eh, this red hair sure brings back some memories." Hiruzen said while recalled Uzumaki Kushina.
After seeing other Genins entering the main hall, Hiruzen told Karin and Ophis to stand behind him just like other Jonins.
.
After every team lined up, Anko
"First off, congratulations on passing the Second Exam." -Anko
*Bzzt* *Bzzt* Issei's Digivice vibrated. He signaled Lucoa to casted illusion magic on him to let others see him still listening before he brought his Digivice out.

Issei then told Furuichi and Lucoa about the new requirement and remark via telepathy magic.
While Issei looking at his Digive, things also happen like in canon, Genins has some chit-chat then followed by the Third Hokage explained the true purpose of the Chunin Exam among the allied countries such as to show off their shinobi's power, be the replacement for war, and so on.
*Cough* Hiruzen coughed to signal the referee of the preliminary round, Gekko Hayate to do his job.
"Excuse me, Hokage-sama... From here on, I, Gekko Hayate as the referee will explain." -Hayate
"By all means." -Hiruzen
"Everyone, nice to meet you. *Cough*" Hayate stood up and turned to face the Genins.
"Everyone, before the third exam *Cough* *Cough* There's something I want you to do... *Cough* *Cough* *Cough*" -Hayate
Then Hayate explained to the Genins that there will be a preliminary round as there's a rule to limit the number of matches before the third round begins because of various reasons.
"So, those who aren't feeling well... *Cough* *Cough*" Then Hayate coughed for a while.
[You're the one who's not feeling well] was what everyone thinking right now.
"*Ahem* Excuse me. If anyone wants to quit after hearing the explanation... Please let me know. The preliminary matches will begin immediately." -Hayate
Kabuto withdrew just like in canon. Before he exited the main hall, Naruto was making a fuss and asked him why he quit which Kabuto claimed that he's too tired and he couldn't hear anything in his left ears.
Then Lucoa also withdrew as well which surprised others Genins, they're pretty sure that Lucoa was completely fine, but no one asking since the fewer participants the better for them. As Issei already asked for the Third Hokage's permission to let his friends watch the preliminary round, so Lucoa didn't need to exit the main hall like Kabuto, then she went to stand with Karin and Ophis.
After confirming that no more person wanted to withdraw, Hayate began to explain the rules of the preliminary round.
When the electric bulletin board began to random the fighters' names, Issei turned and prepared to move to the upper level, but he was stopped by Furuichi. Issei was about to question him, but Furuichi pointed his finger to the electric bulletin board before he could ask.
When Issei turned around and looked at the electric bulletin board, he stunned a bit after seeing the fighters' names.
