The abyss

The boy just sat there staring into the abyss while the rest of his class erected some walls and some signal towers, several mages were positioned in the towers to cast offensive spells and at the same time send signals to the other teams.

Kayden was not participating in this, as his agreement with Locke allowed him to act freely, only being used when necessary, he did not like commanding other people, it was boring and Kayden considered it a waste of time.

A trumpet sounded in the air, starting the test. In just a few minutes, Kayden saw a kind of wolf coming out of the abyss, it had black features and its paws released a kind of smoke with each step it took.

Instantly, Kayden recognized it as a shadow wolf, a beast capable of manipulating darkness to increase its speed and attack. The nearest tower released a signal warning the other teams, and in just a few seconds another five people arrived at the scene.
