Ancient Colosseum

Blake and Jotham walked into the tall building. They just arrived at Imperial Academy and the sight of it alone was so riveting.

High towering building, like something that didn't exist in their time. As though, they travelled farther into the future of Mordern technology.

Blake wowed instantly.

Over the Four lands, there is a part of it that looked to be civilized and that's because the british embassy lived there almost at the heart of Scarlet Hill. The road had asphalt, not the one he was used to seeing, withered paved path. Then the amount of trees was limited to some extent. Houses looked so palpable and almost modernized.

Blake sighed...

This building him and Jotham just entered was one of the modernized one. And looking at it from top to bottom, other houses they've seen in Blackshire town wasn't as attractive as this.

Jotham cranned his head and pointed at a resort and they both went to sit.

"The ladies said that they would be with us soon. I wonder..."

Jotham said and Blake smiled so cheapishly.

"I wonder what they were up to. All the same, we shall wait for them."

Blake stared at the building for a while. The main section had a glass wall as clear as crystal and he was able to see what happens behind it. He could see thousands of students, people and the carriers of the gods blessings.

His eyes wandered about. First and foremost, finding out about the next trial was so dear to him, plus discovering some classes and training in which one would undergo and using that training, they would be able to pass the trial. The thing now is you picking the right class.

"When are those dumbass coming? They are only wasting my precious time."

Blake complained and Jotham chuckled.

***

Tera and Evie stood before a terrifying but yet beautiful man. His eyes held pure darkness, his face radiated nothing but death.

They were standing on an ancient collosseum. It was pure red in color as though the color was being tainted there by blood. Or no, wait. It was blood. This place is always used by the dark witches for sacrifice. Sometimes, when they needed to perform a particular spell that needed too much blood. Sometimes, a thousand of humans.

That was why it was colored red.

"Dad, I came..."

"I said come alone princess..."

His voice boomed softly but still gave of that cursed aura away.

Evie's brow knitted but she made no comment at least.

"Dad... this is my bestfriend. I came here because she wanted me to. I did not come here of my own freewill."

Tera said and one of his brows lifted in amusement.

"Oh, really? You wanted to refuse knowing that I would be waiting for you here even though its twenty years?"

Tera didn't mind his statement and she spoke.

"What is your real intentions... dad?!"

Then suddenly, he cackled like the witch that he was.

"My dear, you have my blood running through your veins. You can test out the powers you think white witches can never reach... you can become like me... awaken the dead... I mean, your mom. I know she's dead but, I still speak to her."

Tera's eyes widened. He was definitely luring her in and it was working. Of course Dark witches have the powers to call the dead... like able to make them come back to life for a limited time... but white witches are not capable of doing so. And everything now sounded and looked so good to be true.

Tera stared at Evie.

"M..my mom!!"

Evie's eyes widened.

"No, Tera he's only luring you. Don't strail on his path. He will only use you."

Evie said and the man stared at Evie with resentment.

"She's my daughter!"

"And so what? You have no place with her unless you are able to give up your powers. Are you ready for that? Are you? No right... Tera, let's leave. Now!"

Evie said grabbing a hold of her hands.

"Leave my daughter alone."

"Who do you think you are?"

Evie asked as her blade appeared from nothingness into her hold.

"I am Jarius... Tera's dad. Mihika dear... don't listen to her. Come to sweet daddy."

Evie stared at Tera and then her grip on her tightened.

"Let me see you stop me... witcher."

Evie immediately pulled Tera in her confused state as they left the dystopian collosseum.

Later on....

The girls arrived at the Imperial Academy and walked into it.

Their eyes wandering about untill they spotted Jotham and Blake.

Their pace picked up instantly.

"Phew!! You girls, you got us really worried. Where went you?"

Jotham asked as Blake stared at them with anger.

"Sire, don't bother with them... let's proceed with this."

Blake uttered while Evie just had to stare knowingly at him.

"Listen guys... this trial is very difficult..."

"Sire, all trials are difficult. Did you know what we were involved just to seek our freedom?"

Blake said.

Jotham laughed.

"Yes, all trials are difficult. I will never forget that. But listen. They will most probably want you to pick a class. This classes will help prep. You for the second trial but you must choose Survival as a feat... before any other two of your choices. Survival is very important. If you are able to survive many years without dying would be great. So do this. There are different classes. They will most definitely ask you to pick three so you trio must know the very first class to pick.. understood?"

Blake, Evie and Tera slightly nodded.

"Alright... go now! I am sure most of you have got your weaknesses. I mean your flaw... It must be hidden."

"Sire... I haven't gotten mine yet."

Blake said curiously and Jotham suddenly looked appaled.

"I got mine..."

"Me too."

Evie and Tera said.

Jotham stared at Blake...

"Well, for your own information. I really don't know what to say. Its quite strange though, maybe the gods wants to make you something before releasing your flaw... it happens sometimes."

Blake raised a brow as he sat up from his position.

"I think we should go in now. Oh and, you should leave before they lock up the arena."

Jotham chuckled.

"Goodluck guys... oh and. Remeber to register."

Soon after, he was gone.

The trio walked into the building and what welcomed their view was a hall full of students.
