As he walked through the town he smelled something that he couldn't tell ehat it was but he knew that it was making his stomach growl so he went over and was surprised to see souls. He turned away and started sprinting as he was gonna be late for the trials if he didn't hurry up. As he arrived there finally he saw what seemed like three thousand contestants waiting for the test to begin and so they could finally become a reaper. Most of them seemed to be souls but some where humans like him which made him wonder why they where able to get here but he looked at them and saw there eyes was the same as his death eye.
As the last person stepped in a skeleton in a suit came out as he was trying to yell he looked down and then made a magic circle. After that he began to start talking, "Ah yes sorry for that my mana circle wasn't installed but lets get to the point you are the F class and today there are going to be ten trials which will test you on becoming a reaper. The first test will be simple just testing your power against our low class souls to see your speed,power,endurance and many more things."
After a while a door opened as warriors in many different types of broken armor with weapon sticking out of them and many different wounds. The low class souls began to walk over to people as each person was assigned there own souls to challenge them. A warrior with a broken samurai outfit with cracks in the mask,broken off chucks of the chest piece and leg area. The warrior also had chains wrapped around his entire body, thirty seven arrows in his body, seventeen katanas in his body and a spear launched threw his heart.
As Jin saw him he felt something special about this soul like that of hos dear friend Ed this person was strong but death has held them back probably because of the chains. Jin stood over the man as he was quite small compared to him only being five seven and being quite slim but all the weapons did make him a bit heavier and less agile. Jin tried to take out some of the weapons but as soon as he touched one he felt his mana being sucked away so he quickly took his hand away backing away for a bit not trying to waste any mana.
The skeleton man in the suit told them the first part was speed putting a magic circle up as a 100 meter dash arena appeared around them. He explained that since they wanted to do this fast as possible they will races in tens with five candidates and five soul warriors racing if the human wins then everyone else besides their soul partner while be gone if the soul wins everyone else while be gone.
Jin began to stretch but he looked at his placing seeing his was the six hundredths race the last one and was gonna take a while to get to. He sighed as he sat down beginning to watch the race with the soul warrior sitting behind him just staring at Jin. As he looked it seemed like he was quite interested in him as his body and mana where top notch for an F class but the other things where lacking a bit. As time passed Jin saw that there was really no rules on this race so he started preparing some things for the race.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After all of those races
Jin began to stench as it was finally his turn he went up towards the track as his he didn't even notice what his opponents look like as he bursted out as the whistle was blown. Jin looked to his side and noticed that some people where getting close to him so he opened his hand letting out some mana rocks making them trip and fall. As he got to the finish line someone was right on his neck so he let out a small wore attaching it to mana rocks he hand throw down. The man was getting close to Jin but sadly his foot was cut as he ran into the wore falling down.
Jin them crossed the line as people began to complain bit the skeleton in the suit said, "One we have no proof that Jin was the one that made those things and two there where no rules in this game only pass the line. The people looked at him with hatred but he simply moved on to the next challenge.
The skeleton man snapped his hand as the arena disappeared only leaving a mountain on it place as he began to explain, "The next challenge is your climbing which will have no winners for humans but you will pose if your soul partner gets there before you." They all where happy at this since they assumed beating these weaklings would be as easy as stealing candy from a baby.
They all went towards the mountain which was giant as one of those skyscrapers in the city but Jin noticed shortly after that this mountain gave no place to jump on since most of it was spiky he decided to try and not jump up to not get turned into a shish kabob. One idiot didn't think the same as he jumped up trying to get to the top directly but gravity soon amplified dragging him down into spikes not killing him but leaving him stuck there.
Jin then began to think and he saw that the man couldn't move cause he had injures so Jin decided to try and jump up to the top of the mountain. The gravity dragged him back down but he managed to only get a hole in his arm and foot. He managed to skip 75% of the mountain as he pushed through the pain hopping off the spikes and healing himself. He soon saw his soul recklessly charging up not caring for any injuries so he did the same but making sure it was little damage so he could start healing it fast.
As he made his way to the top he saw he was first and decided to take out some of the competition as he cut open his hand flinging blown down so people would slip and be blinded. After a little while only seventeen people where gone but still a lot for only the first test. The mountain soon disappeared as something else made it way up a firing range with their partner souls as the targets.
