"Low level dimwit!" thinks Jacen Davis, aka Dark Void, another examinee, in response to Ros Miller's aura star level. "Brass is nothing compared to me."
The Arena roared with cheering. "WOW!!!" Yelled Miss Flare on the intercom. "Two Brass Star Aura Level Participants! What are your thoughts Armed?"
"I think that Chevalier Alma Mater is going to have some incredible talent for this year." Answers Armed.
As Aio went to stand by Jake. Jake asked. "Wonder who he is?"
"Competition." Answered Aio with a serious look. He then thought. "I need to be the strongest. Cause the stronger I am. The sooner I can graduate. And when I am graduated. I can go get my revenge!"
Then Ros walked by Aio while giving him a prideful glance. And just kept walking.
"So right now on the leaderboard." Said Flare. "Ros miller and Aio Nelson are tied for first place. For being Brass level aura stars. While Jake Smith, Aimi Ito, and Chase Grogan are all tied for second place. Each of them being Copper level aura stars. And everyone else who passed by being Aluminum level aura stars. Are all tied for third place."
"Why are there so many people who are tied?" Asked Jake to Aio. "It's a little weird if your trying to figure out who is the strongest."
"Actually." Responds Aio. "From what Neon told me. It's quite normal for there to be many tied participants. Since Brass star aura level participants are so rare to be in first place. Most of the time, there are only either Copper star or Aluminum star aura level participants. Which the Copper stars will take or tie for first place. While Aluminum star will tie for second place. Because of that, there aren't normally third place participants."
"Wow" Replies Jake in shock. "So in other words, this is an extremely rare sight."
"Correct" Affirms Aio as they turn to listen to Flare.
"So has there ever been more than one Brass star aura level participant in one class?" Asked Flare.
"Only once" Answers Armed. "It was Neon's class, Eight and Vibrate were both brass star aura level types."
"Amazing" Thought Flare. "Then these kids must be real geniuses."
"Well" Announced Armed. "Shall we continue to the next stage of the exam?"
"Of course." Answers Flare as she starts to think. "Hey. Don't take my job jerk face."
Armed turns away and smiles as he thinks. "You're making this too easy for me little girl!"
"Now let's explain the next stage of the exams, the Obstacle Course Race." Announced Flare in a serious tone as she turns to face the camera. "just a warning to the viewers this next part of the exams is very dangerous and risky, many students have been injured and removed from the exams from this race."
"This race has three main stages all in dark tunnels." States Armed, "the first stage called Swarm, is a 300 yd dash with swarms of drones taking out examinees. the second stage is called prey, it's a maze and if you don't find your way out you don't get out." He says with a mysterious face as if a shadow crept over his face.
"Waking Dream is the name of the last stage, it is not for the faint of heart, but for those strong enough to prevail." Flare explains.
The students start to line up to get ready for the obstacle course. Jake looks at the tunnels and then back to Aio. "Are you ready for this?" He asks his voice shaking.
"More than ready," Aio states, "are you ok?"
"I'm good, great even." Jake says trying to hide his fear. Aio nods and looks over at some of the other examinees
Ros walks up to the line his face blank as if nothing in the world could faze him.
Aio then looks over at a black figure that is approaching the line he has a black leather hooded sleeveless jacket that goes down to the knees clasped together with buckles, a black long sleeve shirt, black gloves, long black hair, black boots and pants and a black metal mask covers his face. He has a toned body similar to that of Aio but is a bit shorter. This is Dark Void. "No one will get in my way" he thinks to himself.
He then sees a girl glancing over at Dark Void, she has long wavy black hair, blue eyes, a fair complexion and a beautiful face and an athletic body. She has a grey tee-shirt on with blue jeans and white sneakers. She normally has a bored expression on her face, but looked at Dark Void with curiosity. She is Aurora Fox or Wisp.
He lastly looks over to a blonde spikey haired boy with a blue sweatshirt on and grey shorts and black sneakers. He was white and shorter than most other boys but was just as fit, and had a determined face on him. He was Tak Richards or Current.
Flare shaking off her annoyance at Armed puts on a smile "ok guys looks like everyone is ready to go."
"Looks like you're finally right about something." Armed laughs as Flare grinds her teeth, smiles and fights off her desire to light him on fire. "And now here is our very own referee our ace Ape" Armed shouts.
"Okay, are all of you prepared for this and know the potential dangers?" Ape asks. He gets a jumbled response of yeses. "Alright then get ready guys."
The students begin to activate their powers. Aio starts to glow a neon blue, Jake closes his eyes and dirt covers his feet. Currents hands start to cover in electricity, Wisp starts fading into air, Soundwave gets down and a low but deep hum starts to fade into the air. Aimi Ito dons her black ninja uniform. Chase Grogan turns into his beast form. Lastly Dark Void just stands there seemingly in a trance, while his hair flows in the wind.
"ON YOUR MARK." Ape shouts, "GET SET..."
