-BOOOOM!!!
Following that very first explosion, multiple areas in the arena continued to explode, seemingly like a chain reaction had been set off.
-BOOM!!!
-BOOM!!!
-BOOM!!!
Many candidates who had been previously happy that they had survived their sudden drop from the atmosphere were now once again in a state of confused panic and disarray as they watched so many of their mates immediately be whisked away by the shimmering white light, indicating that they had been disqualified.
"What the hell is this?!" some of them shouted in utter confusion.
"This is too much, even for an entrance exam!!!" others voiced with similarly troubled expressions on their faces.
"Oh look at that! I totally forgot to inform you guys that there would be explosive trip mines placed throughout the expanse of the arena! Oops! My bad! Do diligently ensure to survive okay?" Derek's merry tone rang through the expanse of the arena.
