Team Battle

We parted ways after that night and started the class after that. One by one Liam and Zigz new team mates were introduced and let them participate in our classes. Six months passed with our own teams, now we're ready for the final door. The three of us that challenged the door number 1 were exempted from our team when they challenged it. Door 2 through 6 was a bit challenging but it was never hard. It would only range to get to a safe place and eliminate enemies.

It was now time to finally challenge the final door but we could only challenge it one by one, not a team but individually. But before that, it was decided that the special class would participate in a Team Battle.

"You will all participate in a Team Battle. Everyone here experienced life and death battles with their teams and now was the time to know how much all of you grew these past months."

"I'll be calling the leader of each team. Team 1 Rain, Team 2 Ryan, Team 3 Lance, Team 4 Gelberg, and Team 5 Liam. The names I called would be your leader on the upcoming Team Battle. Take down the leader and you'll achieve victory. Each of your moves would be seen by the higher ups. Using an ability with a killing intent could get you killed by them. There is also an individual score. The individual score will be based on your performance and how you acted on every situation. Top 10 students could be granted an entrance on the 7th door. Good luck." Clint ended his speech and left us. The special class all focused on the first and last class. Grades were never an issue here. I could graduate as an Ordee even without attending all of my classes. Frizzia let me on my decision and supported me when needed.

Frizzia also told me that he took Zigz on her care since she saw him when he was still a child. Zigz couldn't control his powers yet without any guidance. He was also abandoned by his family when his mother died giving birth so it was easy to took him under her care. She also told me that Zigz was powerful but not as powerful like us but it all changed when he met Azra. He was the same level like us now. He was a true Golden Rank.

"Now's the time to show how powerful our team become after the first day." Ytra suddenly said and looked at us. "I know that only a few months were stranger to each other but we might not know that we could also be an actual team when we joined Order."

Damien looked at her and chuckled. "Oh please princess. You just wanted to say that you'll miss us when we parted ways."

Ytra snorted but didn't refute what Damien said. It could be our final battle together. Six months were not short nor long but it was enough to make us depend on each other.

"Let's show them our power!" Cora whisper-shouted and coughed. She was the shy and quiet type on our group but a good follower.

"I could finally show how powerful I had become." Velker said and thumped his chest. He was not talkative since he almost died on the door #2. It was a close one. He was goofing around when suddenly he was attacked by a beast. Since then he became silent and serious but he never told anyone how his ego was hurt when he was saved by a girl. Ytra saved him but we all knew that it was the opposite. He has fallen in love with Ytra unknowingly. He wanted to show his manly side.

"Yes, yes. I am the leader so please protect me." I joked to lighten the mood and they laughed.

"These past months were fruitful thanks to you." Ytra said and Velker sulked. Ytra liked me as a brother but Velker was eaten by his jealousy so he never saw it. Damien only smiled and Cora laughed.

"The losers are all laughing together. Aren't you ashamed to be here at all?" Gelberg sneered at us and Ytra wanted to refute but she couldn't.

It was true that we are the weakest. The ranks of other team really improved but on our side... Damien and Velker were the only two on our team who got a promotion. Black as our strongest and Blue as our weakest. 2 Black Rank, 2 Red Rank, and 1 Blue Rank. On the other side almost all other teams were Black and White Rank. We were the only who had a blue and no white rank.

"Don't bark too much. You might choke on your own spit soon." Zigz entered the conversation and smirked. Since then Zigz was always on my side and told me his secrets and including 'that' talk. He was a teenager in love. Gelberg coughed and left. Zigz was also promoted. He was a Purple Rank with Liam. 2 Purple, 11 White, 6 Black, 5 Red, and 1 Blue. We were at the bottom but it was all on our plan. Ytra was ready for a promotion but we held it. I was assigned as a leader so Gelberg and others asked Clint on his decision but Clint only left saying nothing. My team all knew how strong I really was so they never complained but they really felt assured that Clint also saw that.

Zigz and Liam also grew close with me so other leaders, except Gelberg, could accept it really well. If it was based on ability alone I was way stronger than the others. Everyone was scared to fight with Team 5 but our team was the opposite. We might win against them with our teamwork. Zigz wouldn't care about losing or winning but he needed to at least get on the top 10 on the individual scores. He wanted to challenge the last door like Liam and me.

Clint came back after a while had passed and gave out a paper with our names on it. "It will be the match up on the Team Battle. 2 Loses means you're eliminated. As you can see all of you will challenge Team 5 whether you lose or win the first round. Team Battle will take place after a week. Good luck." He left us after he explained some details to us.

"We should take this time to break through. See you in a week." I said to them and they nodded. We left after our brief goodbye. I started to think about how I should tackle the upcoming Team Battle. But first I need Frizzia's input without wasting any time I decided to go to Frizzia. I knocked on her door and opened it.

"Is it about your abilities?" Frizzia asked without wasting time.

"Yes, should I use some of my abilities when needed?"

"Of course. It was now the time to let them know how strong you really are. Zigz also complained how you only used guns and bows. He wanted to see a real fight between you and Liam. He also wanted to let the other students not to mess with you. But, you should be careful. All of the teachers will watch and will see your abilities. You know what it means, right?"

"Yes. I am ready."

"Good. Then I hope that you'll win until the end."

I nodded and left her room. It was now time to get ready for the upcoming battle. I only have a week. There's no time to dilly dally.

"The time is near. Can you really do it?"
