I'm death

In Plutonia's realm, she had been observing Thia for a while, since she was locked up and couldn't leave to trouble Her brothers like she normally would when she gets bored. For some reason she rarely got tired of watching the child. She Observed as Thia and her group made their was into the entrance of the grounds for their assessment, they got there and found themselves in a training ground of some sort and a man standing in front of a pavement. Hazel stood in front of the pavement and stared at the kids. As one of the Four god swords he was a proficient master of the sword.

Hazel walked towards the kids and immediately, they all got into a fighting stance because non of them really recognized who was standing in front of them, sure they have heard of Hazel before but none of them had seen him real life, not even cage who lived in the capital. He had never seen the great Hazel but Hana had.

"Miriam stand behind me" Hansi said as he had handed her the crystal. Their plan was simple Hansi, Thia and Thena would engaged the obstacle, while Miriam would be accompanied by Cage to put the crystal on the pavement. Cage's role was to make sure even though Hazel got past the others he was to make sur Miriam is successful.

Hansi brought out his sword, Thena had a rapier and Thia used a spear ( Like Zinesh she was also good with the spear)

Immediately they attacked Hazel who had stopped moving when he realized the Kids could not tell who he was. He decided to keep it that way and battle the kids. Thia and Thena attacked from both sides at the same time but Hazel easily dodge their attacks. He ignored The three attacker and appeared between Miriam and Cage sending the later towards the other three with a kick. He held his and towards Miriam and took the crystal away from her. Miriam could only watch as Hazel took it from her, despite all her training she still couldn't fight.

The others saw this and immediately Hansi shouted "now!!"

Suddenly The crystals in Hazel's hand exploded and Thia who was the fastest among them approached the pavement to place the crystal there but as her hand was few millimeters to the goal a hand held her hand in place.

"Oh... You are all a bit sly aren't you" Hazel said as he took the crystal from Thia and kicked her in the stomach sending her towards Hansi who caught her.

"Are you alright"? Hansi asked

"Not really, he's strong and I can still tell he's still holding back greatly"

"Stand back Thena said it time for my plan". Immediately she attacked Hazel with great speed bit she was blown away by something.

"What was that" Thena said as she found herself in her starting point.

"He waved his hand" Thia said in surprise

"What do you mean". Thena asked

"I mean exactly what I said" Thia responded

"He's stronger" than I even imagined.

"If you Kids don't have any other thing to do then I think it okay to attack". Hazel placed his hand on his blade an immediate Thia saw Hansi cut in half, Miriam decapitated and the others killed in similar manner.

"No!!!! She screamed not again, no one is dying on my watch" she said as she felt a familiar hand touch her face.

"Who are you"? she asked Plutonia who was staring back at her

"You still don't remember, well I know u will but first you need the strength to win this fight. 'Iku', give her a bit of your strength, not too much, we don't want her to break now do we". Plutonia said to the figure beside her.

The figure approached Thia and place it's finger on her forehead

"Who are you?" Thia asked

"I already told you before, I'm death"

Thia came back to reality and she found herself in front of Hazel stopping him from cutting any of her friends down. "What? What are you"? Hazel asked as he never thought he would meet someone who could stop his attack.

"Shut up!" Thia raged as she attacked Hazel with all her strength.

With her spear she had a better range but Haze still easily dealt with her attacks.

"Help her" Miriam said as The others joined the fight, they couldn't leave Thia alone to fight that monster and They needed to get the crystal from Hazel anyways.

All four of them attacked but Hazel only blocked them with one swing. Thia followed up with another attack and Hazel blocked again, Then she made another faster attack but Hazel was able to keep up.

Thia kept on increasing her speed but Hazel was matching up.

"Just How fast can he get" she thought.

As Hazel was busy dealing with Thia Thena sneaked behind him with a stance he knew quite well.

"'Second sword mountain rend'" immediately an energy was released from her sword towards Hazel

Hazel stood there and blocked the attack with his hand.

"Hmmm" he said after blocking the attack

"I've never seen a weak version of mountain rend like this before" he said pissing Thena off more.

"Arhggg!!" A voice screamed as Thia once again attacked Hazel. But this time he released a stronger shock wave before she even got close.

"I must say I never thought I would spend this much time with you guys, you're quite a resilient bunch. Hazel said

If only you were stronger Hazel said

Now which of you should I kill first" he said with an indifferent look.

Thia heard what he said and gripped her spear tighter.

"I need you to buy me some time". Thia said to the others

"What? Why?" Thena asked

"I feel like I can attack him with a stronger attack. But i need some time to build momentum".

"And if your attack doesn't work?"

"It will it has to. Trust me"

"We- "

"We will" Hansi said cutting Thena off

"We'll buy you the time you need to do what needs to be done".

"Thanks when I shout 'now' please get away from him so you won't be caught in the attac"k Thia said and began running away towards the entrance. The others attacked Hazel with all their might and they could only buy Thia very few seconds as Hazel overpowered them effortlessly.

" Are you not ready Thia!" cage asked as Hazel approached him

"Now!!" She screamed and the others jumped away Hazel looked up and saw Thia in the air with her spear , there was quite the distance between them so he knew she was about to throw the spear. Thia released the spear and it flew towards Hazel with greater speed and destruction than he had predicted. In The end he blocked it with his sword and the attack grazed his hand causing a wound.

After the dust had settled the Kids saw Hazel standing with just a minor cut but behind him was a small light. The pavement had light up which meant the crystal had been placed on top. Hazel had done it himself.

He walked towards Thia and asked.

"What is your name"??.

"Thia" she replied

"Ohhh. You are strong." He said as he began to walk away.

"You all pass." He said again to all of them

"Who are you"? Thia asked

"Why do you want to Know" Hazel asked

Because you are also strong

"Hazel, My name is Hazel"

His words made their eyes go wide in shock.
