Chapter 22: NEXT STAGE
"Now that the top ten teams have been decided, I will introduce you all as to clear the air" miseria says as the students look around at each other
"Starting with our MVP's and going down, by MVP I or more accurately we at the school of grelaville have create a system based off of total eliminations and display of strenght" miseria says as she points her staff at two cloaked figures
"Davil and metralar foralter, with a total combined elimination tally of fourteen !" miseria shouts
"Crazy"Marcia says before clapping in applause
"We're going to be placed at the bottom" Mathew thinks
"Fourteen !, me and Aurora only have two" Benjamin thinks as he looks around
"Second, Derrick Serunda and heliop cupard, with a combined elimination tally of twelve !" Miseria shouts
"Excellence is demanded of the strong" heliop says as he runs his gloved hand through his red hair, his crimson eyes cutting through who ever they lock onto
"I must attempt to place first in future events" Derrick says as he looks down in shame
"So we're next" helga says proudly
"Third, helga trinitith and Marcia prusive, with a combined elimination tally of eleven !" Miseria shouts as she points her staff at the two girls
"Went a bit over board" helga says before twirling her hair
"Fourth, Lara yanavin and Luke tearis, will a combined nine eliminations !" Says miseria
"Hmm" Lara scoffs while holding her staff
"I am sorry we place so low m'lady" Luke says as he bows to Lara
"I expected this ranking, it's why I didn't even try to engage in combat Im the first place" aurora thinks
"Fifth, Christopher gryff and Kessia draconlin, with a combined elimination tally of eight !" Miseria says
"Im still sorry for the trees" kessia says sorrowfully
"It's trivial at this point" Christopher says as he sighs
"Sixth, Malcolm and Palio wyven, with a combined elimination tally of 6" miseria says
"Eliminations where trivial" Palio says as he lifts his staff to eye level
"Agreed" Malcolm says
"Seventh, Lelovia baffalin and Mathew strauthman, with a combined tally of two eliminations" says miseria
"Quite the drop in quality" Mathew says laughingly
"Im so embarrassed" Lelovia whispers under her breath
"Eight, Aurora Astryn and Benjamin Claire, with a combine elimination tally of two" miseria says
"Seems two is the bare minimum" Benjamin says
"Ninth, Isabelle and Ilasus meladict, with a combined elimination tally of one" miseria says
"How is that even possible, every one is grouped, did they flee after defeating one person" Mathew thinks
"I wasn't able to prove him wrong" Isabelle thinks as she looks over at Benjamin
"And lastly, helar and hale stoneley, with a combined elimination tally of zero" miseria says as she slowly starts to fall to the ground
"That would have been optimal, but I guess it better to not be ranked at the bottom" aurora thinks as she looks at the pair
"And now that whe have all been introduced" miseria says in anticipation as she raises her hands
"The second section of the placement event may begin" miseria says as she lifts her hand
As Misera raises her hand a bolt of electricity is sent through all the students knocking them out
A few hours later on a plateau
As they all slowly awake, Misera sits on a rock playing with a butterfly
"Oh you all have awokened" says Misera
"Ugh what happened" says Benjamin
"We where knocked out" says Mathew while fixing his shirt
The rest of the the duos stand and look at Misera awaiting a response
"Alright now that all of you are ready I will be explaining some things" miseria says
"Firstly, all of your personal belongings in the first event have been taken, instead you have been given simple daggers and Wands respectively of class"
Misera says as the students inspect there clothes to see the afor mentioned equipment
"Secondly, you are able to aquire better weapons and wands by receiving points, the following are: Combat, Team and Survival points, Combat points are the most important, you can gain these by defeating monsters and other participants, Team points are the least valuable as when you become a knight you will most likely be sent on solo mission where teamwork is useless, also its a way for you to advance your individual skills and abilities, its self explanitory how you get these so I wont explain, Lastly survival points, these points are gained by how you live and thrive in this event, if you are not well fed, hydrated or comfortable all groups of points will be deducted by a substantial amount, We will check on you every week to see if you are in good shape and alive as you will die in this place if you are not careful" Misera says as the student begin mumbling
"So the contract was true" says Helar as his sister clings onto his arm
"Now this is interesting" Benjamin says with a smile
"Truly" says Mathew
"Oh and lastly are able to pay us your points to get someone out of the event, but that will take a trimendous amount of points, so use it wisely or non at all, seeing as some will be eliminated whether you interfere or not" says Misera
"This will be a true test of strenght" says Derrick with a smirk
"Oh I forgot to tell you, theres a village north of the forest and it will be your make shift dorms for a few weeks" says Misera
"Well thats good, I can rest at once" says Christopher
"Your so lazy" says Kessia as she hits him atop the head
"Lazy ? Should I remind of the fact you have done the least actual walking throughout the entirety of this event" grunts Christopher
"Everyone, let the second Placement Event begin !" Misera says as she aims her hands at the students blasting them off the plateau with wind magic
"Dont die !" Shouts Misera as all of them plument to the ground
"Do you think they'll survive" says a deep voice behind Misera
"They are strong even for there age but, by the tenth week we will truly see what they're made of" says Misera as she follows the man walking away
"Damnit, how are we going to land" says Benjamin in a panic
"Calm down you fool, just use a sword style to weaken the impact" says Aurora as she aims her dagger to the ground
"Alright" says Benjamin
"Remember remember, what skill should I use" thinks Benjamin as he starts to panic
"And remember armis piecer is not only an attack skill, its also a survival skill" says Reiogard as he sits infront of Benjamin and Mathew
"How ?" Benjamin says confused
"Well, say your falling from a great height, you can use armis piercer to lighten the impact by alot, when using this skill you exert a great amount of force into your target, it's the reason why it's used against armored or heavy opponents so just switch out the person for the ground or another object, the rest is self explanatory" says Reiogard
"I see, now I understand" says Benjamin
"Wow it took you so long to realized didnt it" says Mathew jokingly
"You knew all along" shouts Benjamin as he runs at Mathew
"Hey stop it you big oath" Mathew says laughing as Reiogard sits there laughing
"Ok I have to ready my dagger" thinks Benjamin
The ground quicky approches Benjamin as he shouts
[Armis Piercer]
BOOM!
As Benjamin collides with ground at high speed he craters it as Aurora fluently falls to the ground with minimal impact
"You're such a brute, I am suprised you arent dead" says Aurora as she pulls Benjamin from the crater he created
"Ugh damn that hurt" grunts Benjamin
"Well atleast your not dead, now get up" Aurora says as Benjamin slowly gets up
"It seems we were split up from your friend and Lelovia" says Aurora as Benjamin streches
"She used her wind magic not only to push us off the cliff but also to split us up in our original teams and to send the teams in random directions, its been a while since i've seen such manipulation of wind magic" Aurora thinks
"Alright I am ready, what should we do now" says Benjamin
"We should head to the abandoned village quickly and see if we can meet up with your friend and Lelovia as having there help would be good, especially Lelovia, no offense but your friend isn't as impressive as Lelovia" says Aurora
"Alright lets go" Benjamin says as he rushes off followed by Aurora
