the test had begun and with the sound of bell we were off Owen and I along with the others in our group were in what looks like a arena battleground. The next part came as a shock the speakers came on and said words that I would not want to hear this is a team battle pair up in pairs of 2, a team battle I'm screwed no one's will team up with a level 0 but then Owen says how about you and I show these posers what's up, in shock I accept as after we submit our teams we hear the rest of the rules, the rules for the tournament will be as follows last team standing will win there will be basic essence bottles scattered around the battlefield for you to use and keep as well as intermediate beast weapons if you find one you'll be aloud to use but you will not permitted to keep it that's is all let the battle commense. With that me and Owen were off I manged to find instantly two orbs containing the fox and sword abilitys but I'm unable to use them so toss them to Owen. Owen nods and ejects the essence into as a cloud of smoke forms around him he comes out in a half half sword designed essence suit and charges to fight as he fights Kira that leaves me to fight Kyle, Matt and Lynn before I know it Kyle jumps in the battle and activates a wolf essence which alone is one of the stronger basic essence on the field as he starts fighting me it's clear I'm outmatched. As I fall to the ground next to me lays an intermediate level long sword I activate its ability which turns it into two separate short swords as now I have something I can fight back with the real fight starts. I start to fight back as I catch the attention of one of the judges up in the stands, you know without using essence that hollow kid is holding his own yeah another judge says but he's not gonna make it in this world if he doesn't raise his essence level until then I care not how he does, as I continue to use an onslaught of blows a wind blast sends me away as Lynn attacked me with a wind essence bottle I yell out that bottles not a basic as Lynn replys yeah its one of mine if we had any we were aloud to bring them but it looks like I was the only who new that cause everyone else left there's in the auditorium as those words leave her mouth my anger is let out as snobby people like her anger me as I let out a roar and charge at her she easily dodges my movements as if I'm doing nothing at all before blasting me back with Wind as I go to get up its as if time seams to stop and everything goes black and I hear the words state your name but before I can reply I knockout. as I wake up in the nurses office I look at the clock to relise its been 2 hours Owen I try to yell before I'm pushed back down in the bed by the nose she tells my team mate is fine and he won but I need to stay here and rest I agree with her to stay till the end of the day but no longer as I lay down about an hour goes by before Owen comes in I congratulate him on the win for us and he says you weren't to bad your self for only using blades speaking of I believe these are yours as he hands me the blades from the arena along with fox sword and wolf essence bottles I ask how did you get the wolf orb and swords he says as the Winner he was able to claim 1 thing to take from the intermediate weapons on the field and he took the swords cause thought they might be useful and the wolf orb he swipped it off Kyle I tell him there's no way I can take these but he insists I do cause I can use them later plus he remarks I have my own as he points to his belt holding several essence I accept before heading back to my room as I enter I look over and to my surprise Owen as well as Kyle are in the room I look around and put to and to together and relise there my room mates as were talking a knock at the door makes the conversation drop. as I open the door one of the teachers is there with our wristwatches she says Xander hollow here's yours, Owen Nightshade here's yours and Kyle strong here's your now with the test out of the way we have everything we need to start the first day but before I fall asleep that strange memory I had before I knocked out stays fresh in my mind what was that I wonder as I drift off.
