Rose pulled off her sword
- Now what? what should we do?
No one knew what the exams will be, it changes every year.
- LISTEN TO ME EVERYONE, YOU MUST DIVIDE YOURSELVES INTO TEAMS OF TEN PERSONS. I'M GOING TO COUNT TO TEN, AFTER THAT, THOSE WHO DIDN'T JOIN a team will be eliminated immediately. Get ready.
The warriors looked above, It was Sir Jude, he gave them their first task.
Rose put back her sword, she felt a little bit relieved.
" I must just join a team. There are so many people here. It will be easy"
- 1....2....3...
Rose looked around, teams were starting to form very quickly to the point that she suddenly found herself alone. She panicked and started running around the place.
- Damn it, I was slow. I shouldn't underestimate the task.
- 5....6...7...
She found other people alone, but the time was too short to gather them.
- 8.....9.. ..
Suddenly someone pulled her from her back.
- Come here, we are still missing one.
- 10. Stop, no one move.
She finally joined a team, she couldn't see the face of the man that saved her last second but she was really thankful to him.
- Those who are left alone, please, leave the place. As for the teams, go to that cabin and register your names You will stay as a team till the end.
The Prince and the head knights left while the warriors headed to the cabin.
Rose was walking beside men, she was the smallest one among them.
- I advise you to quit. You won't be able to beat those men, they are obviously much stronger.
Said one of her team while leaning towards her.
She didn't answer for fear of being revealed, if they knew her true identity she will be doomed.
- Why didn't answer? Are you deaf?
- Maybe he can't talk.
- That's unfortunate for our team, having such a weak man will disadvantage us.
After registering their names, they were led to a place where big tents were put.
- Every team member will stay in the same tent for the duration of the competition, you may rest for a bit. We will call for you when the next stage begins...Ah by the way you can uncover your face inside the tent, but outside you will be eliminated.
Rose headed with her team to their tent. As soon as they arrived, they took off their masks and lay down on the floor to have some rest.
Except Rose, she kept covering all her head.
- Hey, you there, aren't you going to show your face? we must at least get to know each other.
- Leave him alone, I think he is just a scared kid that got lucky. We need to work with each other and not depend on him that much.
- Yeah, just ignore him, and let's introduce ourselves.
The man that pulled her earlier came towards her with a big smile on his face.
" Blond hair with blue eyes, he is handsome!!
- Don't mind them, I will help you, kid, my name is Roy. What is yours?
-...
- It's okay if you don't want to speak, if you need anything just tell me.
Rose felt a bit relieved, she managed to keep her identity secret up until now.
