Chaptee 16: Preparation

The Arena is giant open space, probably around the size of 6 football stadiums. There are also seats for people who want to watch.

We walk into the stadium and are asked to split into 6 groups of 50. Me, Riza and Lucian join the same team, Lucian has been hanging around Riza lately so I had no choice but to let him follow.

The kin... I mean the principal came and to explain the exam

***

[50 Vs 50]

Only 1 round, only 3 teams out of 6 can stay at the academy. There are no rules except for whoever eliminates the other team wins, either by death, K.O or surrender.

Each team will dismissed to the preparation rooms, each team members band will signal when its your time to take the exam. Each room has crafting tables, weapons and materials, all free for use to customize your fighting style.

***

The principal continues with speech, wishing us luck and stuff like that untill he finally dismisses us to the preparation rooms.

Everyone gets their own so that we don't have to fight over materials and crafting tables. My team is part of the 3rd round, the last round. I start looking at the materials and weapons, checking quality and power when the room suddenly starts shaking, I lose my balance for a second and then hear the cheers of everyone at the arena.

The crowd is going wild, the shaking appears every 5 minutes, they simply enjoy senseless violence I guess. I begin to gather the best materials in the preparation room, Its time to get started.

In another room Riza had already started making her weapons, Riza had made dagger and a spear, the weapons had no extraordinary abilities or power. She contemplated whether to use Acacius blade or not, the weapon is strong and she still hasn't overcome her fear of Ignis.

Riza grabs the blade and stares at it for a while, its black and heavy, she can see the energy coming from it, she can the souls trapped inside. The voices call out to her, telling her to summon them. The voices taunt her, using her fear of Ignis and her time as a prostitut. Riza stares at the blade a little longer before putting the blade away. She places her spear on her back and holds her dagger in her hand and walks out of the room.

Riza goes into the waiting room to watch the match, she bumps into Lucian, the 2 make small talk with Lucian commenting on how her face has no emotions. Riza notices that Lucian doesn't have any weapons on him and asks why, Lucian explains that werewolf culture teaches them to survive on their raw power and magic. Riza stays with Lucian while waiting for Acacius.

Acacius had finally finished his armor and weapons. He still has his black cardigan and white shirt but he now has a cape that covers his shoulders and back. Acacius knew he couldn't fail here, otherwise his plans would be for nothing. He activates his shadow eyes again and whispers to himself.

"No mercy"
