Moments before at the Northern Part of the Greater Forest of Aiz
"That was a nice save there Albeck. Using your Iron arms to bring us down gradually was a great idea " Ezekiel calls out. While at the same time examining their surroundings and whereabouts. "When we were landing I noticed other students landed nearby."
"They see us as threats," Albeck says.
"Threats?" Ezekiel says with excitement.
"We are if not the strongest duo right now"
"We are?!"
"The Greater Forest of Aiz" Albeck responds.
"What's that?"
"The name of the place we are currently in. When we were falling I could tell by the terrain."
A barrier then encapsulates the area.
"We should go find the students that landed near us-"
A familiar voice then gets projected out from above"Sorry for the rude introduction to this test but Mages-"
The two then stop what they were about to say and look up at the floating orb that appears in the sky.
RUSTLE RUSTLE
"WE GOT YOU"
Suddenly a duo appears to attack the two from behind them.
KICK
KICK
BOOM BOOM
Ezekiel quickly disposes of the two mages that attacked them. Slaming them both into the ground making a a loud boom noise like explosions.
"-remember Expect the unexpected you could be ambushed and be put into a dire situation out there. So this part of the exam must prepare you"
"You two really yelled out before an attack lame," Ezekiel says as he stares at the laid-out duo. He then slowly walks to their whipped-out bodies. "Oof, I think I overdid it" He then takes a look at their rings "So do we just take them? Or?
"Ah I see a duo has already been eliminated," Issac says in his announcement.
"Well for those still in care packages should appear where you are right about now"
VOOM
A package full of healing items, foods, and equipment appears.
"You do now know that others will come in this direction correct?" Albeck says as he looks around their surroundings and summons his iron pillar.
Ezekiel then takes the rings from the fallen mages "How bout we try this?" Ezekiel takes a rope from the supply package.
He cuts off a piece of rope and loops the rings they have in them. "Tada. a necklace"
"Good idea but what if the necklace were to break?"
"Uh"
"And what about the future rings we'll collect and add to it?"
"Um"
"Do whatever you want just dont lose them. Now let's get a move on" Albeck leads with his Iron Pillar levitating next to him.
"I can't help it how does that thing work?"
"What do you mean?"
"Like how does it function?"
"Basically"
RUSTLE RUSTLE
Two more mages pop up
BOOM BOOM SLAM SLAM
Albeck Iron Pillar splits into two parts taking out the two mages whilst at the same time taking out multiple trees by them yet again blowing their location.
"Like that"
"Look we got 6 now," Ezekiel says proudly.
The two then look into the sky at the sphere.
[27 minutes 48 teams]
"Good only 5 minutes into this thing looks like we're leading so far"
BOOM BOOM SLAM SLAM
"Well looks like we got 8"
"Woah that pillar sure is something"
"Indeed it is"
[27 minutes 47 teams]
SWISH SWOOSH SWIISH SWOOSH
I hear a river nearby.
The two continue walking following the sounds of the river.
The two follow the sounds of the river. "Hmm" "What is it?" "The more I look at you the more I can see the reason why Leo was bestowed upon you. The features, those sharp keen yellow eyes, your hair like a lion's mane, your explosive and confident personality, the rolled-up sleeves, the black shorts, true definition.
"Yeah but to tell you the truth I wasn't always like this. I was trained to be a proper and trimmed son of the Anges family the next heir raised by my mother and father. But that changed on a faithful night."
Albeck looks at Ezekiel as the two continue to follow the sound of the river.
"What about you? "What is your history?"
"From when I was a young boy I was very scrawny and skinny wasn't really that built. My mother was a single parent who raised me since I was a child. Until one day she grew ill. Very sick. I did whatever I could to help her. Then-"
"Wait!"
Ezekiel stops Albeck in his tracks as he is about to fall off a ledge.
Distracted by their conversation take a few steps back.
"Thank you. My iron hands would've gotten me either way. So this led to a waterfall. With a small little lake," Albeck says.
CRACK SNAP CRACK SNAP
The two then look beyond the lake seeing trees fall down from a long way from them.
"I wonder what could that be?"
"Southeast"
The pair then look up at the Sphere again
[20 Minutes 40 duos]
In the first 10 minutes, 10 duos were gone.
"We can relax and take a break here," Ezekiel says
"Yeah If anything the other teams will come around this lake to refill their water supplies," Albeck says as they watch the area around them.
RUSTLE RUSTLE
The two divert their attention to a nearby bush.
A hawk flies past them as it shoots for the sky.

In the headmaster's room at Aurora Saint Academy
"Hey Carmen your Student is doing good" Taz comments.
"At least one of them is"
"It's hard to see which class will come out on top but it seems my girls are winning"
"Yes but at what cost there being chased by a giant spider"
"Ah you are right"
CUT
"What was that?"
Everyone huddled in the room wondering what had happened to their view of the exam.
CUT
"Colt? It appears some of your animals were taken out"
"What?" Colt responds as everyone looks too at the globe.
"It appears to be mostly the air animals only a few are still active"
"Something or someone is taking them out"

Moments ago Northeast
HUFF HUFF HUFF
Myself and Bianca both hurried to the sound of the loud explosions.
"They sounded pretty close" I yell out too here as we run sie by side.
"Yeah there in the northern part"
"Wow you could tell from all that"
"Yeah pretty much. I can feel the vibration of the earth so I can practically see whats in front of us."
"Alright guide the way."
