The screen continued to randomise until it eventually stopped. The next two contestants shown on the screen were Dan and Arthur.

Dan went up to the stage with his spear in hand and so did Arthur with his longsword. Dan was ready after watching everyone fight. He had come to the academy in hopes to spread his name and his family's in the future.

His family were in charge of the spear division in Alure kingdom army but there weren't many spear users in the first place. His father had given him the task to convince people that the spear was still powerful and would hope by showing them how powerful the spear was, many people would choose to join the spear division.

This was Dan chance to prove it with everyone watching.

But then something unexpected happened. As soon as Arthur reached the stage and the war horn sounded. Arthur raised his hand.

"I forfeit from the competition," Arthur said.

"NOOOOO!" Dan screamed in response.
