"....."

"...."

"W..WHA...."

A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE MATCH STARTED, JAY, VINCE, AND RANIEL ARE DOWN,LEAVING ONLY ME AND GEL STANDING, MEANWHILE IN THEIR SIDE, THE TALL GUY WHO'S ALWAYS WITH ZEE WHOSE NAME IS JADE AND ZEE HIMSELF ARE ALSO DOWN, LEAVING NELO, RON, AND THE ELY, THE STADIUM IS A WRECK JUST AFTER A FEW MINUTES.

A FEW MINUTES EARLIER*

"WOW, YOU'RE AS FIERCE AS EVER."ZEE SAID."COME ON DON'T GET NERVOUS NOW."

"HEH?YOU'RE THE ONE WHO LOOKS NERVOUS."JAY REBUTTED."JUST COME AT ME."

"SURE."ZEE SAID."I'LL GLADLY DO SO."

AS SOON AS THE MATCH STARTED ZEE AND JAY GO AT IT, WHILE THERE'S A WHIRLWIND COMING TO OUR SIDE, TURNS OUT THAT THE TALL GUY WHO HANG OUT WITH ZEE IS ALSO AN ELEMENTALIST WITH WIND AFFINITY, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, OUR FORMATION IS NOW RUINED AND THE FIGHT BECAME ONE ON ONE, WHILE WE ALL HOLD OURSELVES WITH OUR OWN OPPONENT, AN EXPLOSION SUDDENLY STARTLE AS ALL, WE LOOK TO THE DIRECTION AND SAW JAY WITH THE SKILL HE USE IN THE LAST MATCH, WHILE VEE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED, JADE, THE TALL GUY WHO IS WITH VEE THAT DAY BUTTED IN AND ATTACK JAY, BUT IN THAT FORM, JAY IS ALMOST UNSTOPPABLE AND BLOCK THE SNEAK ATTACK, JADE'S OPPONENT IS VINCE, SO VINCE FOLLOWED JADE AND JOINED THEM, VINCE LOOKS SERIOUS AND SHOUTED "GOD OF THUNDER" WHILE FOLLOWING JADE, JADE GOT HITTED BY THAT SKILL AND WAS ALSO GOT INJURED.

"WHAT IS THAT SKILL?"JAY ASK."THAT'S YOUR NEW SKILL?"

"IM AMAZING RIGHT?"VINCE ANSWERED."COME ON PRAISE ME MORE."

WHILE THE TWO OF THEM IS LOOKING SO CONFIDENT, JADE APPROCHES ZEE WHO IS ALMOST KNEELING IN THE GROUND BECAUSE OF HIS HEAVY INJURIES.

"YOW, WHAT A PATHETIC STATE."JADE SAID TO ZEE."YOU GOT WRECKED BY THAT GUY, HAHA, HE GOT YOU GOOD."

"SHUT UP IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO SAY!"ZEE SAID TO JADE IN AN ANNOYED TONE.

JADE SUDDENLY BECAME SERIOUS AND SAID."HEY, LET'S USE IT."

"WHAT?DO WE NEED TO?"ZEE ASK.

"COME ON, YOU'VE GOTTA ADMIT, THEY'RE STRONG."JADE ANSWERED.

"BUT STILL."ZEE STOPPED THEN CONTINUED."IT DRAINS ALMOST 95 PERCENT OF OUR ENERGY, WE'LL SURELY NEED TO RETIRE AFTER USING THAT, WHAT ABOUT THE MATCH."

"SURELY, WE CAN'T WIN WITHOUT TAKING THE RISK."JADE SAID."BESIDES, HAVE A FAITH WITH OUR TEAMMATES."

"...ALRIGHT, LET'S DO IT."ZEE SLOWLY SMILED AND SAID."LET'S TOAST THEM."

"THAT'S MORE I LIKE IT."JADE SAID WHILE SMILING.

"WHAT ARE THEY DOING?"JAY ASK."HEY!, YOU GOOD?!"JAY YELLED TO ZEE AND JADE.

THEN SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS HOLDING MY OWN AGAINST NELO WITH MELEE TO MELEE WE FLINCH AFTER SENSING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF ENERGY COMING FROM ZEE AND JADE'S LOCATION.

"WIND AND FIRE COMBINATION SKILL: FLAME CYCLONE."

A GIANT FIRE TORNADO APPEAR AND APPROCHING JAY AND VINCE, BUT EVEN THOUGH IT'S BIG, IT APPROACH THEM FAST THAT JAY AND VINCE DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO BLOCK IT, BUT WITH THAT AMOUNT OF ENERGY, THEY CANT BLOCK IT EVEN WITH A NORMAL DEFENSIVE SKILL, WHEN THE FILE CYCLONE IS ABOUT TO HIT, RANIEL RAN TOWARDS VINCE AND JAY AND TRIES HIS BEST TO BLOCK IT BUT UNFORTUNATELY GOT CAUGTH UP WITH THE ATTACK, AFTER THE IMPACT, A LARGE EXPLOSION BANGED THROUGH OUT THE ARENA, AFTER THE SMOKE GOT CLEARED, THE FIVE OF THEM ARE ON THE GROUND AND IS NEEDED TO RETIRE.

PRESENT TIME*

"IS THIS STILL AN ENTRANCE EXAM?"

"YEAH, DOES KIDS ARE KILLING EACH OTHER."

NOW THAT WE'RE AT A THIS ADVANTAGE, I MOVE VIGILANTLY WHILE GEL IS COVERING, BUT AS SOON AS I MANAGE TO ELIMINATE RON WHOSE GUARD IS DOWN BECAUSE OF GEL, ELY SURPRICE ME WITH A PUNCH AND MANAGED TO GAZE MY CHEEK.

'GEL THEN TAKE ON ELY WITH A HAND TO HAND COMBAT, WITH GEL'S DEFENSE, HE SHOULD BE ALRIGHT, THEN, I CAN FOCUS ON NELO.'I THOUGHT TO MYSELF.

WITH US BEING LEFT, NELO SAID."THAT SKILL YOU USE EARLIER."HE PAUSED THEN CONTINUE."USE IT AGAINST ME, LET'S SEE WHO'S FASTER."

"IS THAT A CHALLANGE?"I ASK WITH A SMILE, NORMALY, I SHOULD BE NERVOUS SINCE LIGHT ATTRIBUTE IS NATURALY FAST, BUT SOMETHING INSIDE ME TELLS ME TO GO AT IT.

"JUST COME AT ME."NELO TOOK A STANCE."I'LL TAKE YOU ON GLADLY."

I SMILED, FEELING THE EXCITEMENT INSIDE ME, AND JUST IN A SPLIT SECOND, WE VANISHED IN ARE POSITION AND STARTED MOVING AROUND, OUR IMAGE STARTED TO GET BLURRY FROM THE AUDIENCE.

"WTF ARE THEY?!"

"THESE GUYS ARE CRAZY, THEY ONLY KNOW HOW TO RUN LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW."

WHILE ME AND NELO IS HAVING A SPEED FIGHT, GEL AND ELY IS HAVING A FIST FIGHT, THEY'RE WREKING EACH OTHER'S FACE HEAD ON, 'IT'S SCARY.' I SAID IN MY THOUGHTS.

"LOOK AT DOES KIDS GO."AN OLD MAN'S VOICE WATCHING FROM THE PRIVATE ROOM.

"THOSE TWO KIDS ARE RAMMING EACH OTHER'S FACES, I LIKE THEM, I'LL TAKE THEM IN."ANOTHER MAN'S VOICE.

"YEAH IT SUITS YOUR STYLE, BUT DOES FOUR GUYS THAT GOT ELIMINATED EARLIER ARE GOOD, THEIR SKILLS ARE AMAZING."A VOICE THAT CAME FROM A YOUNG BOY.

"...." A QUIET LADY THAT SEEMS TO BE IN HER MIDDLE TWENTIES AND AN OLD LADY.

AFTER A FEW BLOWS, ELY'S FIGURE IS STARTING TO GET SHAKEN, MEANWHILE, GEL SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO GO ON BECAUSE OF HIS GOOD DEFENSE, THEN GEL DELIVERS THE FINISHING MOVE TO ELY, BRINGING ELY TO THE GROUND, THOUGH GEL WINS, AFTER TURNING AROUND AND SEEING OUR FIGHT.

"WOW, EVEN THOUGH I WIN, I WON'T EVEN GONNA BE ABLE TO HELP."GEL SAID IN A SORROWFUL VOICE."HEHE, I'M SPENT ANYWAY, I'LL JUST SIT HERE."

"WOAH HIS SITTING."

"YOUR A REAL MAN!YOU DESERVE A REST."

"THAT OTHER GUY IS GOOD TOO."

GEL SURRENDERED BECAUSE OF EXHAUTION.

"HEY, THAT LEAVES ONLY US."NELO SAID."SHOULD WE SPEED THINGS UP?"

"I CAN SAY WHY NOT?"I ANSWERED, ALTHOUGH I'M SPEAKING IN CONFIDENCE, I'M ABOUT TO REACH MY SPEED LIMIT, MEANWHILE HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S JUST ABOUT TO START.

AFTER SAYING THAT HIS GOING TO STEP UP THE FIGHT, HE REALLY DOES AND MOVE FASTER, I CAN BARELY KEEP UP, SHOWING OUR DIFFERENCE IN SPEED.

"HEY, CAN YOU EVEN WATCH THIS?"

"ALL I CAN SEE IS MOVEMENT OF BLURRY COLORS."

"THIS SUCKS."

STUDENTS MAY NOT HAVE SEEN, BUT THE ELDERS AND INSTRUCTORS ARE NOTICING MY LACKING IN TERMS OF SKILL AND IS ALREADY HAVING TROUBLES.

"HEY, DON'T YOU DISAPPOINT ME."NELO SAID.

I SMILED AS MY FIST GOT COVERED BY DARKNESS AFFINITY, I USED MY SKILL TO DEAL MORE DAMAGE, WITH THIS, THE FIGHT GETS ON BALANCE AGAIN.

A FEW MORE MINUTES PAST, I'M ABOUT TO REACH MY LIMITS, I CAN SEE THAT NELO IS STARTING TO GET TIRED TOO AND SLOWING DOWN A LITTLE.

"OH, DOES GUYS SEEMS TO BE SLOWING DOWN."

"NOW I CAN SEE THEM QUIET WELL."

FEW MORE MINUTES PAST, I CAN'T KEEP UP THE BURDEN, SAME AS NELO, WE THEN DECIDED TO GRAB EACH OTHER IN THE SHIRT AND FACE EACH OTHER HEAD ON.

"WOAH THEY LOST IT!"

"HAHA LOOK AT THEM RAMMING EACH OTHER."

"THOSE TWO ARE TOUGH ONES."THE OLD MAN FROM EARLIER.

AFTER A FEW BLOW WE BOTH STOP.

"WHAT HAPPENED?"

"ARE THEY FINISH?"

WE JUST STAND THERE FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE BEFORE THE INSTRUCTORS REALIZE THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG.

"DUE TO EXHAUTION! BOTH OF THEM PASS OUT."THE INSTRUCTOR WHO SUPERVISE THE EXAM.

"WHAT?!"

"HAHAHA, THEY'RE SOMETHING, THEY CAN EVEN PASS OUT STANDING."

AND WITH THAT, OUR FIGHT WAS DECIDED AS A TIED, THE TEN OF US WAS TAKEN IN THE TREATMENT CENTER.

"HEY IS IT A GOOD IDEA TO PUT THOSE KIDS IN THE SAME ROOM?"THE QUIET GIRL EARLIER FINALY SPOKE AND ASKS."WON'T THEY KILL EACH OTHER AFTER WAKING UP?"

"CALM DOWN, LUNA, THAT WON'T HAPPEN, LAURENCE IS WITH THEM."THE OLD LADY.SHE'S CALLED TALITA.

"THAT'S ANOTHER THING TO WORRY ABOUT."LUNA ANSWERED.(THE QUIET GIRL)
