Assessment

In an unknown place where thick tree and bushes are everywhere a young boy and a beast are having a standoff.

The battle was nothing short of epic.

Vincent's legs and chest has been marred with bruises with sweat dripping all over his face.

That was not to say the beast was left untouched. The beast has been lacerated with deep gashes allover it's spine and ankles with a sharp metal that has a pointy edge like spear, Vincent luckily picked from the ground while running.

"Ahhh... dammit.. my hands it's hurt."

"ROAAAAARRRRRRR."

The beast lunged forward with a predatory glance and a look of savagery which makes it look more terrifying.

With Vincent already being exhausted and his grievous injury he was not fast enough to dodge the claw. He was sent skidding across the ground with a deep gash across is skin he finally came to rest when his back collided with a tree trunk.

"Fuck! I think I just break my back from this collision." Vincent muttered with a resigned sigh.

Seeing the gigantic lion coming at him with a gaping fearful maw.

Vincent was desperate. He tried standing up from where his back was resting at the tree trunk but to no avail. Picking his weapon from the floor he was determined to hit the beast with everything he had.

But strangely Vincent mind was clear, with the pain also brought clarity. As he was contemplating on what to do, a thought surface on his mind...a preposterous idea indeed. But nonetheless he decided to do it.

"After all I got nothing to lose." He thought with a maniacal grin on his face.

With the beast blinded by rage and it low intelligence it did not notice the change in the atmosphere.

Coming at Vincent in a straight trajectory with his maw wide open.

Vincent seeing the opportunity and still on his sitting position with the beast coming at him in a straight trajectory and with the momentum. He takes advantage of the situation and plunged the pointy edge of his weapon straight into the beast throat while rolling away from the positionwgich he has once been in. The beast head hit the bark of the tree and it vomitted a puddle of blood while falling on the ground lifelessly with the weapon still in it's mouth.

"Thud....."

Vincent who is in the other side watched everything with a sigh of relief escaping his mouth after hearing the sound of the beast dropping on the cold hard floor.

[Congratulations on your first kill]

[You have gained 10 points]

[500 participants have been disqualified]

[The journey to the top is filled with pain and anguish only those who overcome it are truly qualified to be the Best of the Best]

At the same moment, the token which have been given to him by the school officials shined bright and all his injuries which have been accumulated during battle get healed.

"I've even forgot this is a test, so this is one of the mysterious functions of the token__Ahh, those bastards did not heal me when I almost get killed by that fucker of a beast after the battle had finished I am now getting healed." Vincent mused knowing it wouldn't be fair if they get healed in the heat of battle, everyone would pass the test; but just looking for who he would pass his agression on.

Picking himself from the ground, he was going to forcefully remove his temporary weapon from the dead beast mouth when he heard the notification rang.

[Your worth have been proved you are now qualified to own a weapon]

[Choose your weapon of choice]

[Weapons: swords;long and shorts; spear;Bow; Gauntlet....]

"Now they are talking! At least they compensate me with a nice gift for almost killing me, which weapon should I choose. I would have gone for spear because that's the first weapon I have wield but I think it's too heavy... hmm, it think I Know which one I should go for."

" Long sword." Vincent spelled it out.

A pristine long sword with a very sharp edge manifested in his hands and tinted with a blue color at his edge and a very soft handle.

"WOW! This is cool!" Having been is first time holding a weapon Vincent was amazed. Swinging the sword in an arc Vincent tested and tested it so as to get use to the size and weight of the weapon.

After some time he sheated the sword in it's scabbard and get ready to move so as to earn more points.
