Among the participants of arena 24 was an inconspicuous boy, scrawny for a 12 year old. He was observing Sarcony from the moment she started eliminating people. He was unable to get a hit on her but was lucky enough to survive. As he concentrated, shiny, reptilian scales appeared all over his hand up to the elbow and his fingers became talons. Swiping with his claw just at the moment Sarcony stopped for some reason, he was able to make her dodge in fluster.
Meanwhile on Sarcony's side, the two personalities came to a compromise and Sarcony once again held the reins of her body. She was about to rejoice when a ferocious claw that tore through air hurled at her. She was able to escape due to her strong reflexes but then observed that her dress became red close to 50%. HOW MUCH RECOIL DID YOU CREATE BY USING MY BODY? YOU SHAMELESS GIRL. HMPH, IF I AM SHAMELESS, SO ARE YOU. JUST FINISH THIS FIGHT.
Sarcony moved with a speed so high, she literally appeared to have teleported behind the kid with the reptilian pupils. She hit him on the nape with a powerful chop knocking him out cold. The shield enveloped him gently. " Let's finish this. " Sarcony cracked her knuckles and flexed her neck while walking towards the remaining 5 contestants.
The remaining 5 were made a quick work of. She moved to the dressing section and specified her requirements regarding the dress and reached the spectators gallery. " Onee-sama, great performance as expected. The damage of more than half was unexpected though. " Mo'er exclaimed in happiness, to which Sarcony replies, " I am badly out of shape. I guess I have a long way to go. I wish they announce our dormitories soon. ". Mo'er chuckled.
After all the arenas had their battles end, the remaining 80 students were gathered in the Lobby. " Students, great job in winning the first round of the entrance examination. We will now present you with a new artefact designed by our leading researchers. But first, I would like your martial arts coach to speak about the next round. " spoke the principal. ~~Applause~~
" Students, first of all, congratulations for winning. Now, I shall announce the second and probably the final round of entrance examination in case of no draws. It is an assessment test. This is a new kind of simulation test where your real bodies will be resting in the lobby whereas your consciousness will be sent into a ( pseudo world kind of ) spiritual space. The specifics are:
Number 1: There, you shall participate on individual battles with a spiritual entity of your level.
Number 2: The time taken for the defeat and the techniques used shall be used to assess the relative performance. The first 40 shall be put into special class while the rest shall go to advanced class.
Number 3: All of you shall be put into spiritual avatars of equal level for fairness. The equipment and the battle dress shall be of equal level as well. Only the gender and the type of weapon given are based upon your gender and the weapons used in the preliminary battle royale.
All the best for the second round that shall take place tomorrow. The dormitories shall be assigned based on a lucky draw. Today's allocation shall not be changed for an year so keep that in mind.
