Hearing the name of Dark Red Wolf which is a Class 1 Monster. Candace was surprised in her heart. She thought Maria may soon have a breakthrough to become Peak Apprentice Warrior. She is looking forward to having one to one battle with her.action
Seeing Candace stopped talking. "What happened? Don't tell them they had the same Dark Wolf monster for you as well?" asked, Maria. "No, It's a Class 1 Monster but different species; Looking at their strength, it's impossible to exit from the door. Unless you are Ranking Elemental Warrior." replied, Candace.
A look of understanding appeared on Maria's face. "What do you think? is there anyone in our class besides us; Can get past this exit door?" Maria uttered rather suspiciously. Hearing that a particular person's face flashes in Candace's mind. Candace thought. It's a good opportunity to see whether my intuition is turn out to be right or wrong regarding Zack.
"Marcus Moore had a good chance, I don't know about the twins? They might be hiding something deep. And last but not least. I believe Zack Lockwood will clear this test." Said Candace Wilkerson.
Hearing that Maria turned her gaze towards Candace's face. Feeling Maria's intense gaze "Why are you looking at my face? is there anything on it?" said Candace annoyingly.
Then She took the seat beside her. "Ha...Ha.." laughed Maria hysterically then she added, "Here we go again. Don't tell me this time your intuition, Tells you again that Zack is going to clear this round." There is a small teardrop on Maria's eyes. Comes from laughing hard. She thinks it's the biggest joke.
Seeing Maria's odd behaviour. Candace understands her circumstances. She is different from Maria. Not everyone has to guard their whereabouts every day and night from spy. From what she heard from her. Maria belongs to the well-known clan. There might be people looking after her.
So Maria doesn't believe in acting low key or rather never met one. She said to Maria, " How do you felt? When I clear this round rather quickly than you?" Hearing that Maria stopped laughing.
She replied, "Candace, I failed to judge you and it's a coincidence that you happen to be Apprentice Warrior just like me; But to say that Zack will clear this round, and Marcus had some chance. I don't think so"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe added, " Forgive me for my rude behaviour. But I believe coincidence happens once." Candace shakes her head hearing her argument. She can understand why she came to that assumption. But she can't tell Maria that it's not Normal intuition it's due to her bloodline.
Then both of them chatted about something after that they start to meditate. Meanwhile, Outside of the dome in the entrance room. Where other seeds were waiting.
Monitor Screen lit up with the name Candace Wilkerson and the time taken to clear this test. Seeing that everyone gasped loudly. Zack was shocked internally. I thought Maria being an Elemental Warrior. It would be a piece of cake to clear this round and yet this time Ms Misty (Candace) gave me a huge reminder that. This city is filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
Zack said to himself, "I don't know, what level is her cultivation at now?" looking at the time taken by Maria. I believe this test is not easy. And Ms Adeline key reminded us before to use full hands including weapons. While Zack was contemplating, Monitor's screen lit up with the next participant's name.
Monitor's Screen showed Zack Lockwood. Seeing my name finally appeared. I stopped thinking and walked towards the dome's entry door to the arena. I saw my classmates reactions towards me.
The twins nodded at me. While there is the usual grin on Marcus's face. I don't know? How he grins all the time. doesn't it hurt?. As I touched my chin thinking that while walking towards the door.
Once I entered the battle arena. The door behind me closed automatically. I looked around found there is a huge "X" mark on the central platform of battle. There is a huge wall covering the platform. As I looked at the sky. There is only artificial light which is fixed at some structure. Emitting the light hereby illuminating the entire platform platform
"Creak" A Door opened from the "X" mark.
I was startled by a sudden sound. looking at the place where I heard that. Seeing that Hair on my entire body stood up. There is a cage. rising from the underground. Due to that cage, my perception ability turned on automatically without me being willed it.
Thanks to Mercy's lotus My Physical and Soul Strength got increased. I even felt my perception power got a little stronger. Soon the door of the cage was opened. Revealing creepy Class 1 Monster. It's a deadly venomous black spider.
When compared to the Slithering Green Snake its was medium in size yet when compared to Zack's human physic. It was ten times larger in size. It had eight large legs which had numerous spikes on it. Huge black body overlooking everything with its numerous eyes.
It had two deadly fangs which continuously spewing deadly venomous on the floor. As the venomous green colour liquid dropped on the floor. The floor was started to boil with increasing heat. Vapour can be seen arise from that place. like that place was completely rotten away.
The most horrible thing about this particular Class 1 Monster is that its odour. The main attribute of this spider was its horrible smell. The venom and silk thread were common attributes found among spider families.
Seeing the black spider coming out of the cage and the horrible smell accompanied by it.
"What in wor....?" Zack wanted to finish his words. Before that he smelled a horrible odour from this monster. Due to that, he felt a stomach-churning sensation. Zack vomited on the spot. He clutched his stomach with both of his hands. He gasped for a breath.
Meanwhile, In the control room.
Mr Arthur Emerson smiled seeing Zack entering the dome to the battle arena. He thought from what I heard from James. Zack is quite capable and smart. Even though he had no experience of killing the Class 1 Monster.
I hope he will somehow clear this test. James never said anything regarding his cultivation. I believe this kid is an Elemental Warrior. There are a lot of Elemental warriors in our sword centre. Once he passed this test. I need to have a good talk with James.
Maria Frazier won't participate in the CRIMSON SWORD HALL exhibition match. Though Candace Wilkerson is powerful her background is unclear. The only option is left to have Zack participate in the tournament.
Considering James related to ARMY FEDERATION. Most of the higher-ups and stakeholders of our Hansen Sword Centre were retired professionals from the ARMY FEDERATION.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt's safe to say that Zack belongs to the ARMY FEDERATION. As he was thinking Ms Adeline Key knitted her eyebrows. She did not have any opinion about Zack.
Unlike, Mr Arthur Emerson. She thought Jack should've eliminated already. Why? The monitor screen is not showing that. Once the sensor's around the dome found participants are not fighting the monster or remain static.
They will be disqualified immediately. She thought Zack is an ordinary kid. Who yet to awaken any Elemental power. Considering that he needs to be disqualified right now.
But Monitor Screen is not indicating anything. This means he is fighting the Class 1 monster somehow. she asked the staff, "Which Class 1 Monster is Zack facing?"
Hearing that staff replied immediately, "The Black Venomous Spider" "Which one is it? odour one or Black silk." asked Ms Adeline key. "The odour one" this time the answer came from Mr Arthur Emerson's mouth.
He already looked into the details of the Monster that Zack is facing. He thought this infamous monster was known for its horrible smell. Unfortunately, Zack ended up with this monster.
Ms Adeline key surprise by the name of the monster. " Is he fainted due to the horrible smell of the monster?" she uttered. Mr Arthur Emerson got annoyed by her bad mouth. He already made a plan to meet James.
If Zack won't pass this test. Then it would spoil his plan. He replied to Ms Adeline the Key "He is your student, you should have some confidence."Hearing that Ms Adeline Key became silent she didn't say anything further.
In the battle arena.
Zack finally readied himself after vomiting. He looked at the spider and said to himself, "What is that ugly thing? Uncle James never told me about Monsters being tamed here; Granny informed me that as our cultivation progress, We will need huge resources for it.
So, we have to hunt down monsters according to our level; Thereby exchanging monsters for resources." and He added, "I planned to join the PARAZAM HUNTER LEAGUE after I got admitted into the academy."
Looks like fate got something else for me. I looked at the exit door. Once I leave from the exit door the test will be over but this monster is tricky. The Black venomous spider was busy with something else. "What is it doing?" said, Zack.
As he saw that black spider is trying to take away the Sci-fi collar from its neck. "The Collar" mumbled Zack. I don't know why? But I hope they put the collar on this monster to protect us.. It's the best time to attack this monster and gain my first blood kill.
