I think this place is enough...its more quiet here.
As i intend to sit a telepathic voice ringed in my ears
"Good Morning, Promising Child of the Holy Nations "
"I am the Great Hero- Knight Darius Killfreed the third, I am going to be the one to uphold the entrance exam to our glorious Sacred School Academy"
I tried looking for the source of telepathy and I find myself seeing a gallant knight standing at the roof of tallest building with 3 other knights in his back
"I am going to explain the rules and events of this entrance exam"
"First, you will be given weapons for the upcoming challenge...you may choose from spears, arrows, swords, axe, katanas, daggers.... weapons that you may find in the warehouse near the gates.....if you already have your weapons you could choose not to, it is just an optional choice"
Come to think of it....that may be the purpose of the weapons near the school entrance, well of course the one with their own weapons are royalties with sacred weapon as their heirloom and other high quality weapon
"Second you may use magic in this exam but you cannot use magic on other participants.....people who are seen doing so will be automatically disqualified"
"Sir may you please explain what exam we are participating in first" A man in a robe with blonde hair said while raising his hand his voice was loud enough for everyone to hear
He is probably a royalty...Given the way he dress
"Oh! My bad! I was just building up the suspense for all of you" Great Knight Darius said as he scratch his head "You guys will be teleported to a forest where it is greatly inhabited by some weak tribe of monsters.....your mission would be to exit that forest within 24 hours. At the exit there will be a team waiting for you and will escort you back here...you fail if you haven't exited the forest within the limited time or if you die in battle"
The crowd of people where shocked about this, the same goes for me although it isn't seen in my face.
Knight Darius probably saw our faces as he said "Of course you may quit now if you don't have the courage to participate there is no shame in quitting as you might be afraid, but there is shame in not conquering your fear....knowing you have fear is good but being a slave to it is not.....for those who are afraid go ahead and leave but for those who are willing to take the challenge stay here.....and be proud.....proud of the fact that you are capable of challenging your fear...stand proudly future students"
A small portion of the students are gone as they might be afraid but majority did not they might be prepared for this or maybe they already have knowledge of what the exam is like
"As I said before you may kill the monsters but you cannot hurt other participants so it could slow them down and other malicious purposes.....there is an allotted time of 20 minutes to prepare...wait inside the circle if you are ready.....you may now be dispersed".
I see that most of the royals are entering the circle as they already have their own weapons
I guess I myself should get a sword or two...…..
The line here is quite long though
100 students are allowed inside and once one left the other can enter but i guess the facilitator do moves fast before long its my turn to enter the warehouse its quite large and spacious actually
As i enter the warehouse i found a girl she seems troubled finding weapon she is struggling between 2 daggers or a short sword.....
"Do you need any help?"
"Huh??" Said the girl
She seemed startled by my intervention should I have not said anything then?
Oh well I already said something after all, better go on with it than to look like an attention seeker or like I'm hitting on her or something
"Do you practice any martial arts? Or is there any combat you are proficient at" I asked
She shrugged her head and then answered with a "no"
"Well sports perhaps?"
She seems thinking about it as her hand is pointing in her head
"Badminton"
"Oh, then I think daggers and short sword are not for you, it maybe light to handle but the blade is short and you maybe injured by monster due to short range distance"
"Why don't you just get a small shield and a bat.....a small shield ain't that heavy and the bat as well if you do pick a sword it might be a burden because its heavy and you might accidentally cut yourself....well of course that's my opinion, you can pick what ever you want its your choice but i really do advice you that if you pick dagger it should be as a secondary weapon and not a main one"
"Thanks" she smiled a gentle smile at me "I will do that then"
She bowed her head and quickly grabbed what i said and left
I guess its time for me to pick too
I picked up one medium sized sword and one short sword
Ill head out now, the exam is about to start
…
"Brave warriors, may you all have the courage, bravery and strength to overcome this challenge"
"The exam will now...….. begin"
As he finished the sentence a great flash of light suddenly appeared and before long the surrounding in me changed
I seem to be teleported in a forest...the other participants seems gone too...I guess we are randomly teleported in this area.....
"Krugggg" the sound of thunder came down as it is likely the environment here
I think I should just walk so that i could conserve my energy when something happened
This place is so grassy and there are a lot of trees, not your usual forest where you could go on vacation
As i walk something suddenly sounded....it is a tree... the tree suddenly moves.
