Luis brought Luna back to his house and put her on the bed Luis specially bought for the beast. He lit up some bowls with herbs inside.
"What is that bowl thingy, Luis?" Julianne asked.
"That is Beasts Aromatic Smoke, it might only look and smell like burned herbs to us but it's an aromatherapy for beasts like Luna," Luis explained as he put the bowl near Luna and the beast slept soundly. They continued their training unaware of what's the aftermath of the event that Luna made.
The week passed quickly and the day of the Qualification Battle arrived.
Only 20 people are going to be qualified to enter the hidden realm, 2 from Individual Battles, 2 from Dual Battles, and 1 from Team Battles.
Sky Chasers will be the last Team to Fight and it's against the Production Team which was named as Hammers of Anvil.
The day passed by so quickly and before they knew it, the Team Battle between Sky Chasers and Hammers of Anvil started.
"Hello, seniors!" Serion greeted the opponents.
"Oh, Serion! Nice to see you're in a team! Let's do our best in this fight okay?" One of the men from the opposite team smiled.
"Of course! Hope we can collaborate on some projects in the future!" Serion smiled too.
"Ha ha ha! I'll look forward to it!" The man responded as they all prepare to fight.
They are going to fight in the same stadium where the Sky Chasers fought with Chisa.
"Here's the plan, we will make the production students on the front together with the combat students to see if the opponents will lay formations.
The other mages will be the support to assist you in any way we can." Jay proposed as the team nodded and they got into position.
The opposing team got into position too as they prepared themselves and wait for the signal.
A magical bolt exploded at the center of the arena as the barrier enclosed and the teams immediately clashed against each other.
Kyle summoned a tidal wave and when it hit the opposing team they scattered but it made the whole arena wet and Jay used this opportunity to freeze the whole ground.
Luis manipulated the earth and covered the foot of his teammates so they can move freely on this ice field, black bolts of lightning crashed towards the scattered enemy as explosions followed suit that was caused by Julianne.
Ice shards flew all over the place as Jericho manipulated it and rushed towards the opponents.
The opposing team dodged every attack and compressed at one side to receive the barrage of ice shards but the man in the front summoned a large shield that is wide enough to cover them.
A member of the Hammers of Anvil summoned tons of different steel weapons as he manipulated and ride it and it made him hover himself from the ground while barraging attacks towards the Sky Chasers who were covered in multiple barriers made of air, ice, water, wood, and earth. The Sky Chasers successfully blocked the barrage and only lost a single barrier. While inside the barrier, they chanted numerous spells.
A field of briars appeared as it tangled 4 of the Hammers of Anvil members. Julianne immediately summoned an orb which was teleported by Cyrius towards the tangled members and the 4 were immediately eliminated from the Hammers of Anvil team.
The Hammers of Anvil attacked. A large hammers and maces appeared as they controlled these weapons and hit the barriers which were slowly chipped away.
When they hit the last barrier of defense, they tried so hard to break it with the weapons but it won't budge.
They summoned a large steel cone and they put the pointy tip at the barrier as it spins fast and slowly chipped the earth barrier away. As soon as the team who was hiding was revealed, the Hammers of Anvil team smiled genuinely as if they're already saying that they got this match but what they didn't expect was, the Sky Chasers planned all of this as they made thousands of elemental weapons of different attributes, air, fire, lightning and water orbs surrounded the team together with the variety of ice, wood, fire, steel, and earth weapons. Jericho controlled the quarter of these weapons as the other 3 quarters were manipulated by the owners of the energy. The energies rushed towards the Hammers of Anvil as a look of fear emerged from their eyes.
A man stepped out as he planted steel stakes at the ground and a light barrier appeared but Serion threw a stake towards the barrier and it immediately shattered.
One of the men summoned a Cauldron and it expanded as it covered the whole Hammers of Anvil team.
Moments passed and the barrage ended and the man removed the cauldron but what he didn't expect is that they were already surrounded by the energy weapons.
The Hammers of Anvil looked towards each other as a tacit understanding appeared on their expression.
"We admit defeat!" The man who talked to Serion shouted as the barrier enclosing the stadium slowly disappeared along with the floating energy weapon surrounding the Hammers of Anvil.
Luis strolled towards the unconscious opponents as he fed them pills.
"Young man! we already surrendered! Please spare our defenseless teammates!" A man shouted as he rushed towards Luis who already finished feeding the 4 unconscious men.
"Don't worry, I didn't feed them poison. It's my gift for giving us a fair fight!" Luis smiled as the unconscious men jolted and suddenly sat up as they looked clueless on what's happening around them.
After a moment of explanation, the team lined up and faced together as they all bowed and shaken each other's hands. "Thank you for giving us that good fight! You broadened our horizons young people!" The leader of the Hammers of Anvil spoke.
"We also thank you for giving this opportunity!" Alyssa politely responded. "Senior! Don't forget your promise to me, okay?" Serion exclaimed.
"Include us too!" The other production student followed.
"You have my word! We'll wait for you at the Black Iron Pavilion!" The other teammates responded as they smiled towards their Juniors.
"Good luck with your next fights! We will cheer for you all!" The leader smiled as he signaled the team to head out of the arena.
"We might have lost, at least we put a great fight against the students who made Vice Dean Chisa unleashed 100% of her power. We know that they're qualified to bear those set!" The leader whispered towards the other members.
"Xirian? Are you sure about that?" A member of the team asked the leader named Xirian.
"Yes, from the moment they defeat us, I already made my mind. If they defeat the other teams, then they already deserve those sets. What do you all say?" The leader asked and the other members of the team nodded.
The next day of the Qualifications will be held 3 days from that fight to give enough time for the participants who fought hard to prepare themselves.
Luis was strolling at the Verdant Forest hunting beasts together with Luna who is good at finding herbs.
A moment later, Luna howled as she ran in a certain direction.
"Where are you going, Luna! Wait for me!" Luis shouted as he followed Luna who was running frantically.
After a few minutes of chasing Luna, the wolf stopped just before she exited the forest towards a very wide open space that looks like the middle of the forest. Luna growled as Luis's senses warned him about the danger.
He immediately understood that this place is a treasure trove as same as a pit of danger.
He took his talisman and called the members of Sky Chasers.
"To whoever is available right now, go to the Verdant Forest and follow this Talisman's energy. Luna discovered an unknown place and I need your assistance, I will wait for half an hour and to whoever reached this place within that time, we will head out ourselves!" Luis spoke then kept the talisman as he waits for his teammates to come.
10 minutes passed and Archie came.
"Do you have any information about the place?" Archie asked. Luis shook his head. "I don't have any information regarding the place but I can sense that it's dangerous but Luna lead me here so it definitely has some treasures with it. Treasure equals Danger. Law of Equal Exchange right?" Luis explained.
A minute before the 30 minute time period Luis gave, Kyle appeared.
"Did I made it?" Kyle asked breathing heavily.
"Yes, you did! I guess there's no one coming now. I'll inform the rest of the team." Luis responded as he took his talisman and told the team that if they didn't make it out in 3 days, they should fight without them.
The three roamed the open space together finding some signs of danger.
After roaming around the space, they haven't discovered anything yet.
"I guess there's no danger or treasure here Luis?" Archie talked.
As if fate was just waiting after he said those words. A large hole appeared on the ground as it swallowed the small team of 3 together with Luna into an unknown place.
The hole is getting darker as Luis summoned light to see their way, they're falling for a moment but they haven't reached the bottom of the pit. After 10 minutes, Luis saw the bottom.
"Kyle!" Luis shouted as he pressed his palm out and made a large hole on the bottom.
"On it!" Kyle responded as he summoned a large tide of water that filled the hole up. The artificial basin they made cushioned their fall and they didn't receive any fall damage at all.
"What is this place?" Archie asked as he looked towards his surroundings.
It was a cave that only has one way on it.
"We won't know if we stay here," Luis responded as he leads the group who was bearing a Light Rod that lights up their path.
They saw a small light ahead after walking for minutes, they ran towards the source of light as they appeared at a bright place.
The place is an expansive area of trees and woods as the sky light up like it was just afternoon but when Luis looked closely, he saw that the light was emitted by some sort of crystals on the ceiling which is tens of kilometers from the ground.
The team walked as they saw a huge boulder up ahead beside a track towards the forest.
Words were engraved on it telling the name of the place.
"Forest of Klygor."
