Cupid The God of Desire

Kano: Musashi, if you don't mind saying.... I was wondering what cosmic entity chose yo-"

POOF POOF POOF

A resoundingly loud child-like voice. To Kano's surprise it was coming from a giant baby floating above everyone.

"HELLO CHILDREN... I AM CUPID! YOUR INSTRUCTOR FOR THE FIRST TEST."

The crowd started rustling. These men were all very skilled in one way or another and many were prideful. They didn't enjoy being called children..... especially by a literal baby. But those that knew Cupid, knew that he was much older than most if not all of the participants in his training grounds. The crowd continued to rustle.

"Don't call us children, kid."

"Don't disrespect us!"

"You have a fat head"

"You're a literal baby, shut up and get your binky"

With each remark Cupid continued to grow redder and redder, he turned as red as the hearts on his arrows before exploding.

Cupid: SHUT IT!

Cupid applied his godly pressure and it appears that all the participants either fell flat onto the floor or were severely struggling to stay off the ground.

Cupid: WE GODS GIVE YOU STUPID BRATS A CHANCE AND YOU THINK YOU'RE ON OUR LEVEL. YOU STAND NO CHANCE AGAINST MY HEAVENLY PRESSURE, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH. YOU MORTALS ARE FOOLS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE ALMIGHTY BEING GAVE YOU UNGRATEFUL LOT THIS BLESSING OF AN OPPORTUNITY.

A brave soul in the crowd spoke up out of turn cutting Cupid off.

"We didn't have a choice, we were forced to come here! I never wanted to leave my family."

"Yea-"

BOOM

Cupid applied his heavenly pressure once more. However, this time it was much worse and just on those two men specifically.

BOOM

Their knees smashed onto the concrete floor and their knee caps could be heard throughout the training ground.

CRACK CRACK

The two men tried to brace for impact by landing on their hands and knees. That didn't help at all, it only ended up with them breaking their wrists and knees.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

They shrieked in pain.

"Please stop!"

"We won't talk out of turn we mean it!!!"

"Have mercy"

"O mighty God have mercy!"

Faced with absolute power... These men who were ordinary among the exceptional... Even their will was shattered at the face of that much power, there was no hope.

Cupid: MERCY...? YOU WANT MERCY FROM ME!?

"Yes, please, we'll do anything just stop this pressure."

"Yes, we realized that you've already lessened it a bit, please we'll do anything just say the word and we're at your service."

Cupid smirked and giggled to himself a bit. "hehehe" "hehehe" He had a few long hairs on the top of his bald head.

Cupid: REPENT! SAY YOU REPENT AND I WILL FORGIVE YOU. QUICKLY NOW, BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND.

"We repent, we repent to the great Cupid. The amazing God of Desire. Please forgive us."

They bowed their heads and smacked them against the concrete in repentance.

Cupid: ALRIGHT, THAT'S IT. I FORGIVE YOU, TRULY.

"Thank you"

"Thank you"

Cupid's deep blue eyes lit up ever so slightly.

The two men got up from the ground after saying their thank you's. They weirdly turned to each other and stood faced to face. It was a weird scene and everyone was trying to get a look at what was happening. They reached for each others swords and both of them chopped one head off.

SLICE

PLOP

One was a clean diagonal cut from bottom of the neck up and the other was a clean horizontal slice at the middle of his neck. Even though the cuts were different, the heads slid off the same.

HEHEHEHE
