Chapter 18 - Episode 17- The conclusion of the exam 

It had been two hours since the test began, and there were two students standing in the middle of a grassy lawn. Shito Mahinu and Tenka Vermillion stood in the middle of the grassy lawn. There were no monsters on the lawn, so they just stood under the beautiful bright sky.

"Well, what do you want to do about collecting monsters… we have been walking around a lot today." 

"I can attract the monster to the location we are at."

"That would be for the best, so go ahead and do that… I am ready to go back home already."

Shito nodded his head, raising his hand in the air, using mana to attract the monster to his location. He was using a spell that controlled the minds of the monsters forcing them to succumb to his will. Even if the monster did not want to, they had no choice in front of the magic spell he was using. 

The forest started to rumble and shake because of all the monsters running to their location. The monsters were trampling over each other because they had no control over themselves. All monsters could sense that they could not win a fight and they made sure to stay clear of people they could not beat. That was one of the reasons no monster came out to fight them.

"Roaaaarrrrrr!!" The roars of the monsters coming to the area were getting louder and louder, a constant roar that shook the dimension to the core.

"They are going out of control… Are you going to do something about that?" Tenka said, looking at all the monster that was going nuts. They were all rushing towards them, and they were not stopping, she wondered what would happen to the other students if even one of the monsters got past them.

Noticing her worried expression, Shito snapped his finger, creating a big barrier behind them so nothing could go past it. The barrier stretched so high that the flying wyverns that were with the monsters could not fly over. Over ten thousand monsters were present in the barrier he created, and their species varied for ogres, goblins, wyverns, apes, and serpents. 

"I created a barrier so don't worry about it." 

"All right. I guess we can start killing these monsters!"

Tenka looked at the monsters and raised her hand, the winds started to blow around the area forming a giant tornado. 

"Wind Twister!"

The wind tornado rushed through a whole crowd, a monster sending them flying. Their bodies were not damaged because she was making sure to hold back. Hundreds of monsters died in an instant.

Looking at the dead group of monsters, Shito lifted his hand, channeling mana over their dead bodies. 

"Item box." 

With that, all the dead monsters disappeared from the world, appearing in the item box's storage unit. Item boxes were infinite in size and could hold anything depending on their user. High-ranking mages are the ones with the infinite-sized item boxes because they cost a lot of mana to use. 

She does not have to hold back her spells anymore since we do not need the bodies of the rest of the monsters.  I am going to need to tell her that I want to see what spells she can use other than the four great elements.

Shito looked at Tenka, watching as she was standing in front of over seven thousand monsters without backing down. Even though she had not started her attack yet, you could practically tell that she was happy to be fighting them. 

"You can use your full strength now." 

The excited look on her face disappeared, she wanted to see him fight badly, and if she did not see it then she knew that she would not ever be able to see it for a while.

"Can you fight the monster for me?" 

"Why?!" Shito asked, looking at the beautiful redhead that was standing before him. He could see that she was excited to fight the monster but if that were so why did she want to back down then?

Don't tell me she wants to see my skills… that would be the best explanation for this since she was excited before. Why does she want to see my skills so badly? I haven't done anything but if that's what she wants, I guess I can comply. 

Gazing at the monsters that were standing in front of him, he placed out the palm of his hand, drawing a jet-black magic circle. Mana started to be directed in the palm of his hand.

"Dark Sun." 

Flames that were the same color as darkness were forming in the palm of his hand, the flame suddenly shot out of his hand. The only thing that could be seen was a miniature sun that was made with the flames of darkness. Flames that were from the depths of hell and one of the strongest flames in the world.

Over half of the monsters that were standing in the area were burnt into ashes and not even a single piece of their bodies was left in the area.

What was more over half of the forest was destroyed by his flames, causing everything to be lit up in flames that was the same color of darkness.

"I know you have spells that are stronger than that. May you please show me what else kind of flames you possess?"

"I do… I'm going to show you one right now." 

Shito raised his hand in the air, and black particles started to fill the air. The dark particles were energy from the void, an energy that reverted any and everything to nothingness.

"...Void Holes."

After saying that, all the small black particles started to form into two big balls that started sucking everything into them, turning them back to nothingness. Everything in the world was said to start from nothingness and with the power he had he could revert the entire world back to nothingness if that was what he genuinely wanted.

Monsters were getting sucked into the void from left and right, leaving no traces of their bodies behind.

"Is this thing going to suck us into it?" Tenka asked, looking at the black balls of energy. "If it is we going to be able to survive it." 

"You aren't going to get sucked in since I am here… and even if it did, I would destroy it before the void could even get to you."

They watched as the void kept sucking the monsters up, leaving nothing behind, but the void balls were still sucking up things from the surrounding areas. 

"You are getting out of control; I think it's time I put you to rest." 

With that, Shito started to stretch his hands out and he bent his fingers as if he were trying to grip a weight. 

The two void balls started to rip, and the ground started to crack. That was when Tenka noticed that he was crushing nothingness itself. While she may not have known what nothingness was, she could tell whatever he was doing to the black voids was making them disappear. 

The two void balls disappeared leaving nothing behind but a forest that was damaged by the void balls. If he would have let the void holes keep sucking everything. The voids would have gotten big enough to absorb the entire world. 

"You are really strong… what kind of attack was that?" Tenka asked, wondering what the black balls were. She knew he would not tell her, but she thought that it would be best if she asked anyway.

"You do not need to know that for right now. When you are stronger, I will tell you about it, but until then you are going to have to wait." 

Tenka nodded her head, looking at the beautiful boy in front of her, they had finally finished the quest, so they could go back to their dorm and have fun with each other.

"Well, let's go home then, Shito." 

"...Ok." 

The two students walked through the forest, so they could go back to the entrance to turn in the monsters they defeated, they already knew that the other students still were not done yet because it had only been three hours since the test started.

***

The two students arrived at the entrance at eleven o'clock at night, and they turned into a dimensional box that had their names on it. A box that was made to hold their things so no one would take it, the only person who could get into the box was the teacher. 

They had finished the test earlier and they did not speak a word to each other and teleported inside their dorm rooms.

Finally, they looked at each other, noticing that they would not be able to spend any time with each other since it was already too late.

"How about we go on a date tomorrow… since we aren't going to do it today, we might as well schedule it for tomorrow," Shito said, looking over at the beautiful Vermillion princess.

"...Ok, we can do that, but you are going to have to sleep in your room since I'm going to want my outfit to be a secret tomorrow." 

"Ok, I understand." Shito said, "We are going to meet in front of the school gates… so don't be late." 

Tenka nodded her head and walked outside her room, looking around.

Even though his face is not showing it… I can tell he is looking forward to this day. I am going to put on the most beautiful outfit he has ever seen in his life.

Both students lay in their respective beds, waiting to see each other the next day. Tenka and Shito did not get to spend a lot of time with each other outside of having to fight and look for monsters.
