"Just what happened?"
Meanwhile Zayne was duelling with Logan to buy time for his team,
"Huff-huff. They are so fast"
The tanker of the red team complained as he swang his enormous sword.
Boom.Boom.
The fire spirits were repelling the attacks and counterattacking with their explosive claws.
Bang.Bang.
From within the forest, the gunshots were coming and threatening the red team.
"At this rate, we are just going to tire ourselves out"
The tanker in charge of the sniper thought.
"Hey, mage. I am going to search the location of the sniper and disable him. You just help John during that time and win. Can you do that."
"Yes, count on me"
Boom.Boom.Boom.
The fire spirits did not let them take a break and attacked consecutively with the deadly explosions caused by the claws.
"
Countless numbers of green spikes made of plants pushed out of the ground one after another and aimed toward the fire spirits.
Both of the spirits were leaping from left to right to dodge the attacks.
"Got him"
Boom.
"Grrr!!"
Behind one of the spirits which landed on the ground after dodging the attack with a leap, a sharp and long enormous needle-like spike about three meters suddenly appeared from the ground and stabbed the back of the spirit.
It pierced through the body and the spirit was being lifted in the air by the spike.
"Grr!!"
"John, now!!"
The mage screamed.
"Grr!!"
John, the tanker who was in charge of the spirits, lifted the enormous blade and prepared to cut down the spirit.
Boom.
He then slashed the blade horizonally and cut both the spirit and the spike in half.
"Ackkkk!!!"
With the piercing scream of the spirit, the body parts of the spirit turned into ashes bit by bit and got flew away by the wind.
"Huff-huff, one down"
"I wonder if MIles is okay" John thought.
Miles who was in charge of the sniper seperated from the team and went to the direction where the gunshots were coming from to search Dejan, the ranger of blue team.
Bang.Bang.Bang.
Clank.Clank.
The gunshots were aiming at him consecutively from the front and hit Miles' shield which was being used as a vanguard to block them.
"Tsk, He is coming straight toward me. I have to change my position"
Dejan thought.
He was sitting on a 15 meters tall tree which lied at 20 meters away from the blue team base. From top of there, he observed every movements of the battle and sniped the enemies with his rifle.
He then jumped down to the nearby tree and leaped from one tree to another like a tarzan who is used to the wild life in the forest.
"I am a professional ranger who had trained hard in many kinds of situations. So hiding in the forest is my speciality and there is no way a novice like him can catch up to me" Dejan thought as he flied upon the trees with the speed of wind.
"The gunshots are not coming anymore. He is changing his position" Miles stopped moving and thought for a moment.
"
Whoosh.Whoosh.
"The abnormal sound of the branches shaking and the footsteps which is going at great speed"
"From the left"
Boom.
He then charged toward the direction of Dejan with the speed of a cheetach which was chasing its prey. But unlike a cheetach, the footsteps he made were very strong and heavy that the cracks were caused at the area everywhere the footsteps hit. The deafthening sound from each footsteps made it sounds like an elephant with the speed of cheetach was chasing after Dejan.
Boom.Boom.Boom.
"Just what the hell is that?" Dejan began to panic as he heard the sound.
Bang.Bang.Bang.
He then stopped his pointless running and shot at Miles.
"
Bang.
He shot the rifle into the sky after he chanted a spell.
Weez.Weez.Weez.
With the sound of countless bullets piercing through the air, numerous number of bullets followed by the blood red trails were falling down from the sky toward the area around Miles.
Only the red trails could be seen because of the enormous speed of the bullets. And it made it looks like countless numbers of red lasers were coming from the sky.
Miles lift his shield up on the head and tried to block them by covering the head with the shield like an umbrella.
Bang.Bang.Bang.Bang.Bang.Bang.
The bullets were hitting the shield cosecutively without giving him a rest. The attacks were too numerous and strong that the shape of the shield was being altered by the force and heat of
"Just when will the attack end?" Miles thought as his legs were getting pushed into the ground because of the tremendous weight of the attacks.
"At this rate, I am just going to be in the defense. I need to do something"
"
"Grrrr!!!!"
Boom.
With the thunderous roar which shook the forest, a powerful wave erupted from Miles with tremendous force and the bullets got repelled because of the impact for a moment.
During that moment, Miles did not let the chance slipped by and threw the shield which became useless because of all the damages done by the bullets toward Dejan who was standing on the tree in front him.
The suddenness of the throw startled Dejan and caught him off guard. Dejan had to desperately leap to an another branch of the same tree to dodge that.
"Ack!"
The branch almost broke because of the weight and it was shaking up and down violently saying it can't stand Dejan's weight.
Boom.
Immediately after he threw the shield, Miles charged toward the tree Dejan was on and then he hit the trunk of the tree with his whole body strength.
Boom.Boom.Boom.
One hit after another, he walked back a little to gain the momentum after one hit and charged toward the tree again consecutively without delay. It was like an enormous elephant size red bull furiously attacking the red carpet.
Boom.Boom.
Because of the deadly hits, the tree was shaking viciously like a person violently shaking off the bugs which were attaching on the cloth he was wearing. All the braches were also shaking fiercely which made Dejan no longer able to stand on them. Dejan was holding onto a swinging branch like his life was depending on it and he was also being swang up and down.
"Ackk!!"
Boom.Boom.
The attacks did not stop and continued to come.
"He is just going to exhaust himself if he keeps doing that. I will just hold onto this branch until he stops. As long as this branch can stand my weight, I am okay. Haha. Fool~~..."
Crack.
"Ah"
A cracking sound came from the branch. Dejan looked up at the base of the branch.
"No no no no. Please"
Crack.
With the second cracking sound, the branch teared apart and Dejan fell down while facing downward like a monkey who lost his grips on the branch.
"Ahhh!!!"
Boom.
"Huff-huff"
"Now the monkey has fell down to the ground" Miles said as he looked down at Dejan who seemed like he was flattened with his arms and legs spreading as he hit ground.
"Hey!"
No response.
"Hey~~~~"
Not yet.
"Hey~~~~~~~~~"
This time Miles hold Dejan's hand and turned the body around to see the face.
"Oh, he is already unconcious" he said sympathetically as he looked at the face where the front teeth were broken and blood were coming out of the nose. All the dust on the ground were mixed with the blood and accessorizing the joker-like face of Dejan.
"One down. I wonder if John and Axel are okay"
"The game 1 of hunter exam phase 3, capture the flag, is over" Balor's deep and heavy voice filled the forest.
"Oh, they already won.No wonder they won, their opponent is a exhausted mage who is almost out of soul energy and a summon" Miles thought.
As the game was over, both teams came back to the audience tower.
"Good job, you guys can go home now or watch the other games if you want to" Balor said with a smirk.
"Now the teams participating in game 2 get ready for your turn"
"FInally my turn to shine" Lucy said excitedly as she stretched her arms while yawning.
"Well, that was a long battle"
"Don't talk to me now. We are enemies." Lucy said with a mocking smirk on the face.
"Well, I don't like to fight a weak girl but I will make an exception for you, daughter of Yostar" Malik said with full of confident.
"Don't cry when this weak girl makes you eat porridge for a whole month" Lucy said as she tightened her fists in front of her.
"Noah look carefully at how I beat the shit out of him"
"I will make sure to shut that loud mouth of hers, Noah"
They both turned their excited faces to Noah and said simutaneously.
. . . .
Game 2 start!!
