The familiar sun rose again the very next morning, giving life to the creatures as it awoke Lyrian and the others. Today was the 16th day of the exam, with not even half left to pass. By this time, Lyrian had taken into account his individual points from the cores he gathered, and in total, he had no more than 185 points. This was by no means little, but if he was to want to pass the exam with this progress, he would surely fail. Still, passing via points was only a plan b, an insurance of sorts.…-

"Ah, I suppose I should have a look at the map," Arthur replied, retrieving his scroll once more, his curiosity piqued. Just as he expected, it was indeed a map! Alten, intrigued, swiftly dashed over to Arthur's side to catch a glimpse. The scroll unveiled a sprawling landscape, adorned in shades of brown. Upon closer inspection, it became evident that it depicted the entirety of the forbidden area. Alten couldn't contain his astonishment and blurted out, "Where in the world did you find this? It's…

The three scavenged the camp area for any last items to take. They also looted what the kids that they eliminated dropped, which were only some cores. After this, the three decided that the best course of action right now would be to start looking for the cave entrance again. It was what they were doing all this time anyways. Before that, however, they wanted to go and see what was in the middle. Now that they were eliminated, there was no risk in going there. Although this also meant that there…

'What!?' Lyrian immediately thought to himself as he witnessed what happened, bewildered and shocked. His blade was instantly stopped in its tracks by the barrier, as a large crack even spread through it like a spider web. "Divine Retribution!" Sisin suddenly said as he raised his right hand, as the barrier around him that absorbed the brunt of Lyrian's blow minimized and traveled to his hand. Now, with a condensed mass of light, he unleashed his palm toward's Lyrian. 'Im too close, I can't dodge…

After a few seconds of silence, Sisin fixed his glasses that were on the ridge of his nose, before calmly speaking, "You two have made a major mistake coming here." "Oh yea? And how's that?" Alten teased on in a mocking voice, clearly enjoying himself today. "First of all, you decided that you could beat us in a 2v1 situation. You should not have underestimated us so much, and on top of that, you also made another crucial mistake." Sisin spoke with his face shadowed as if he was some villain…

On the brink of the next morning, the 15th day of the exam which marked the halfway point, the three woke up early from their sleep, even before the sun had shown itself. It was pitch black outside, but they wanted to make sure their plan succeeded. With haste, they made their way to the base camp of the other boys that had ransacked them yesterday and began waiting. They chowed down on his meat jerky as they waited, and before they knew it, the tent's below them started to rustle. 'They wake up…

Below the message was also a small symbol that looked like one long line down the middle with two crossing it horizontally near the top. "A symbol? Did they want to tell everyone who they were as a sign of dominance? How naïve, giving themselves away like that." Leon said as he saw it. Alten was the first to speak about the message, "What should we do about this?" Lyrian paused for a moment to think, while Leon replied, "I doubt this isn't a trap. They must think we're dumb." "First of all, we…

The two immediately went on to exchange several blows, with both seeming to go head to head-in terms of ability. Even though Lyrian was faster, Silong looked to have fighting technique, which Lyrian lacked, making up for his slower speed. Although this was true, Lyrian's speed quickly overwhelmed Silong, causing him to jump backward and create some distance between himself and Lyrian. "Damn it! How are you so powerful!?" Silong exclaimed in frustration, slamming his fists together to create a…

Time seemed to stand still as the blade connected with its target. The serpent writhed in pain, its mighty form trembling under the force of the blow. A resounding roar echoed through the mountains, a mix of agony and defeat. The serpent weakened and overcome by the collective might of Lyrian and the others, succumbed to its wounds. Its massive body collapsed to the floor in a loud thud, as Lyrian's enhanced form began to dwindle as well. Before allowing himself to fully rest, however, he made sure…

*Clang!* The sound of hard materials clashing against each other suddenly sounded from closeby, as Lyrian turned his head toward the direction of the Hydro Serpent. "Lyrian! You're awake!" Leon said in mid-air as he sheathed his sword, having pushed the serpent back into the water temporarily. As he landed on the ground, he quickly ran over to where Lyrian was, "How in the world did you overcome the hallucinations on your own?" He said as he neared him. "It wasn't that hard to come back, just wake…
