Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

"Congratulations to everyone that manage to find the badge. For other that didn't get it please left the hall", said the voice from speakers.

" No! I'm not going anywhere!", shout a brown hair man. His face is filled with frustration. He pointed his knife to the air.

"Why should I go?! Just because i don't have the badge?!", he said. A group of security walks in and goes to him.

"Sir please get out. Anyone thats the same as him needs to go too"" he said sternly. The man slashed his arm. Without waiting a single moment, the blue hat security uses water genshi to tie his hand. The other don't want to make things difficult so they walk away in silence. Adam pitied the man. He must has been desperate. Around 50 people went out.

"Contestants please flow in your genshi into the badge. A number will be given and the next test will start. The Courage Test! Everyone will be facing each other before moving on to the final test!", the voice filled the hall.

Adam does as he's told. The badge shine as it shows number 215. He take a look at Anna. Number 183. The other candidates does too except for the hijab girl.

She just casually took out a chocolate candy from her sky blue briefcase. A green mint haired man walks to the centre of platform. He took a look around with a gentle smile on his face.

"Nice to meet you fellow candidate's. I'm Ashera, your testrilliar for this test. Number 001 and 025, please step up", he clasped his hand as he said it.

Two young girls walk to the rink. The other candidates move away from it.

"Only use basic level genshi. You can start anytime"

Nina, the bob haired on the left side while the ponytail girl, Grace on the right. Nina use a wind blade. Grace avoids it as the wind blade clash with the barrier around the rink.

Grace starts to attack, faster than her. She uses two fire arrow that fly toward Nina. She use a wind barrier. Without her knowing, Grace manage to get closer and swings her leg to Nina's body. But she manage to defense herself by putting up her arm. It burns her arm instead.

"Number 001 pass!", said Ashera. Grace smirks to Nina and walks out of the rink. Nina looks upset with the result. The losing candidates need to give the badge back.

Adam look impressed with Grace movement. She's used her genshi so smoothly and the final part where she's using the fire arrow as distraction is good. The test went until 12.30. Ashera said to rest for an hour. The second half will start after.

Adam and Anna went to take a seat at the corner. He take out his lunch box. Anna only eats some sandwiches.

"I hope both of us passed the test", said Anna.

"Erm. I hope so", after watching a few matches Adam realized that there's more people that wield genshi better than him. The key is who's the fastest and has more accurancy while attacking.
