After changing her clothes and take her lunch, she made her way back to the school. It was a long break for them to start the next exam. Along her way to the school grounds, she noticed how other students practiced hard for the next exam. None of them was bothered by whatever they were doing into the school grounds, since time is very precious when it is the exam day rather than observe other creatures.
As she arrived, she lined up with the current student standing in the field facing front stage. Some of them talking about how they can't get over with the first exam they took, since most of them did not finish the task. Can't blame them since they've lost the chance to upgrade their ranking. Nonetheless they could still elevate their status for the upcoming exams, so that they could remain to their present ranking.
"Hello students, Are you still there?" she saw the creature in the stage holding a microphone spoke giving a glance in every each of them.
"Yeah!" students cheered, while others just go along with the majority does.
"Well good! By the way, Congrats to those who passed the first exam. For those who don't, you better catch up to them. For the next exam, you must all be prepared since it will be going to be chaotic." a statement which answered by murmurs from the students.
"What is it?"
"Hope its not too hard"
"I could hardly passed the first one, what's worse would come than it?!"
"Chaotic? Which means it would be a little difficult from the first one." Murmurs erupted the place taking out their opinions about it.
"That's enough students, before we delay the time." as the faculty teacher heard them became silent, the faculty teacher continued.
"As for the second exam you will going to have battle royale which will be divided into 4 groups. Each students have bracelets which stands as your lifeline. In that case you must protect it whatever it means so that you can continue to fight. If the bracelet removed from your body then you will be automatically out. Whoever remains in each group will be given the highest points for the exam. Okay, so now you can follow the indicated number from your ids." students started to walk towards each building. As they confirmed their numbers they've enter the building where they were asigned to.
Looking around her, she noticed some students was stretching. She even felt nervous since they all have different capabilities, which she wondered how she can make it for the second exam. She then recalled how she even have matches with the respected Rulers which she endures, taking in mind that they were considered as one of the outstanding students in the academy and without their titles as one of the royal families. She breathe out as she think about it. 'I can do this' she calmed herself.
A drum sounded with the trumpets, while all of the sudden the walls starts moving as it changes the surroundings. It was unknown for the students what was happening, until all of a sudden one of the students screamed as it was thrown out from the floor upward. Many students was thrown out to the air, making them separated in each rooms of the maze. Mandy was also thrown out but she made sure she could land properly.
"Now, all of you have been separated. As you can see in the upper part of your bracelets, it indicated the numbers of students who is still on the room. Do whatever you can so that you'll remain last monster standing. Let the second exam begin!" a voice sounded in the room. Followed by noises from the other students around. In just a split of seconds, many students already lost their bracelet. Mandy was lucky that she's the only one on where she was stationed. She heightened her senses for anything might happen. She continued to walk forward, carefully without bumping to any students.
Few minutes later, the surroundings came to silence which means few of them was left. Mandy checked her wrisk, she saw the number of students left. Indeed it was already that small of number. She haven't yet encoundered one of the students, so she was unsure how she will react if she meet one.
A snap of broken bones was she heard behind, it was a student readying herself to launch on Mandy's back. Instinctively Mandy kick her foot towards the head of the creature as it nears her. It connected to its jaw which resulted to the creature thrown out away from her.
"Well not bad, for the rumored newcomer."the creature spoke as it stand, spewing out the blood out of its mouth. She never dared to talk back at the creature, since she was trying to figure out what's the creature capable of. But, as she observed its appearance as it slowly changed, she begin to realize what kind of creature she was.
"So that's your true appearance. Well, now I know what your capable of." Mandy confidently tell the creature, provoking her opponent to attack more to her.
"Good for you to know, but that doesn't change anything since I will definitely crushed you." she replied back to her which made her smirked secretly. The creature was a huge spider monster, with eight legs and 4 eyes. She spew threads from its mouth, which Mandy immediately evade. She knew that if she touch or got caught from its thread it won't be good for her.
The creature was too fast, that Mandy could barely keep up. Their surroundings was now full of treads, which eventually became a web. Until, it was too late for her to notice that she was imprisoned inside the treads of the creature.
"You should know, you can surrender now." the creature mocked at her.
"Well, what do you see? I'm nowhere to go.?" Mandy sarcastically answered back to her, which made her furious.
"Are you making fun of me?" the creature now wants to get Mandy very badly so that she could really break her.
Surrounded by the threads of the spider creature, there is no way for Mandy to evade any attack from the creature. She also noticed, how strong and sticky her threads are, so she must be careful not to be caught on it. While, the creature was furiously trying to get ahold of Mandy, she already prepared a plan to defeat the creature. If the creature moves too fast, she must also moves faster than it than when seen in the naked eye of a human, it seems like a blur of shadows.
"Giving up already? You should have done it earlier." the spider creature noticed Mandy was just standing infront of her, not moving even though she was about to pounce at her.
"You should look closely what I'm holding right now." Mandy tell her while smirking. Before her claws could even land to her, an object flown right in front of her and glows brightly. Seconds later, she realized she was in chains of light. The creature tried to move but the chain of light preventing her.
"Oh, so that will happen when the bracelet will be removed." Mandy stated as if confirming something.
"This is not fair! Let me out of this thing! Argh! Grr!" the creature screamed, but Mandy never bothered to stay there anymore. She find her way out, as she went out the drums and trumphets sounded.
"The second exam come to an end. All four groups have finished to conclude the last monster standing." the voice echoed throughout the room, as the room changes again. Mandy thought she was going to be thrown out again, but only the floor where she stands start to move, taking her towards the other students who left for each group.
As the four creature meet including Mandy, recognition was the first reaction from Mandy likewise with the other creatures.
