Arc 3 : Chapter 2: Survival of the fittest (2)

"All the participants it's time to show your skills", a manly invoice came from the band.

"Every individual has to defeat at least 4 opponents while securing their own insignia".

"Once you collect 5 or more insignia you can enter the reception hall in the forests".

"You are free to fight as many as you like"

Fight as many as you like? So does that mean the number of students passing will be very less.

"The round will end only if all the players left are having 5 or more insignia"

"If the last person outside the hall is having less than 5 then that person will be disqualified"

"Now get ready to break the storm", he said and ended the speech.

Tzzz

The hologram like dialogue box disappeared and Edan stared at the place where he was standing now.

With the yellowish grass

Short trees

As the scenery was reminiscent to the savanna's of Africa

And the distal green forests that disfigured from the sun's heat.

Now he moved through the grasses in search for other players.

Rustle Rustle

As he felt it down the spine as the anxiety within went up.

Tik*

Edan felt a wooden branch under his feet as the slightest of the sound echoed through the windless place.

Swoosh

A Flaming ball traced its path towards him.

Dodge...

"Haha, you punk what are you doing with your ass moving around", said a boy.

[Applicant no:1187 ( Friel Jin)]

The band showed the applicant number and their name.

Swoosh

Now there were 4 balls simultaneously tracing Edan's back.

Dodge

BOOM

Dash

BAM

BOOM BOOM

Puff Huff

[ This world is wicked and never fair.

I was the only one in this world with 2 cores.

But in reality it was my greatest weakness.

I was not able to use two powers in the same way simultaneously.

If I tried to use my outer core to strengthen my body

Then my inner core will only be able to help me in control surrounding matter apart from me.

This restricted my capabilities.]

Dash

[Yet..]

[I trained to master my power to my advantage]

Right now,

Edan made his outer core control the matter around him.

As the numerous Flaming balls marched towards him, He moved his arm.

Drrr

The balls bent and missed their target.

BOOM*

As he closed the distance and kicked the guy and he hit a tree and collapsed on the ground.

"I-I have to fight", Friel Jin said to himself.

"It is enough you don't have to push yourself", Edan said.

"How dare you mock me do you know how much I trained to get here to be defeated by someone gifted like you", he said.

"I know how it feels", Edan said with a deep voice.

"I always will never forget that but still the truth of this world..."

"This world is wicked"

"I am also behaving like what a human would"

"Because in the end this world can only be freed by a human right"

"You are weird man", Friel Jin said.

"Here have this insignia you have won it yourself", as he tore his crest from the suit and handed it to me.

{ Progress: 40%}

"Thank you", I replied.

"No need", he said as he got teleported back to his camp test site.

Now it was 3 more to go.

As the paths crossed he understood one thing that everyone have to face their own problems.

And also there will be a day when we have to fight our own "FATE".
