[Third Person POV]
Lucius was elminiated within five minutes since the test had started. He felt angry.
'Why does he always win? After the armour I bought? Just why can't I win for once.'
Lucius got out of his pod. He was walking towards the exit of the VR room but Arlo stopped him.
"You are not allowed to go out until the match is over. Your team is still in."
Lucius sighed and sat on a chair. He was looking at the screen where the battle was being displayed.
He looked around and saw other teachers evaluating the test. The screen was divided into seven windows and each window show cased each squad.
Lucius looked at his squad. They still were surrounding the flag and had not moved.
'What are they doing. Theres no way they win.He cannot use his Divine Ability and all of them look useless.'
Arlo was looking at Lucius. He knew what Lucius was thinking.
"Do you think your squad will win?"
"No"
'Theres no way they win....right?'
******
It had been exactly five minutes since the test started and Ryujin's squad still had not made any move.
(Lucius Aldegar has been eliminated.
5 points to Squad 7)
A large voice rang around the VR arena informing the elmination.
Hearing that message Ryujin shook his head.
"That dumbass got eliminated within few minutes.If only he could comtrol himself."
Adam heard Ryujin's rumbling.
"We have been here for five minutes. What should we do now?"
Ryujin had sensed some people. He used his sixth sense:active mode but since the people were outside the 200m he couldn't identify them but the sixth sense : passive mode told him that two people were keeping an eye on them from a distance.
Ryujin looked at his squad. He looked behind.Behind him was a giant hill.
"Dont make any sort of gesture for what I am about to say."
His squad members nodded.
"There are two people spying on us. They are at behind me almost five hundred meters away. We will not engage them direactly. We will go to that hill to give them a sense of illusion. I will tell you the rest while we run. Now lets go."
As he finished saying that, Ryujin started running towards the hill. Aqua immediately followed him as if he was a tail to Ryujin's body.
Cary couldn't understand his action so he question Adam.
"Do you have any idea what he is trying to do?"
"No but I do believe in him."
Adam also followed Ryujin. Cary was still there standing.
'Why is everyone in this squad weird?'
He also started running towards the hills.
******
Anna and Emily were spying on Ryujin's squad. If they wanted to win they had to take Ryujin out first.
They were sitting on a relatively large tree. Both of them were hiding behind the leaves. Anna had also ised a spell to lessen their presence.
Anna had also casted a magical barrier 50 meters from their spot so if any body tried to enter or destroy the barrier Anna would be alerted.
They had witnessed his powers first hand.
"Just because he is restricted to using his Divine Ability that doesn't mean he is weak. He will now have even more option to create new ways to use his powers."
Akio's words were still on Anna and Emily's mind.
Anna was using her magic to enhance her vision while Emily was using high tech binoculars.
"Hey Anna! Do you have any idea of what they were trying to do?"
"No. They have been doing nothing."
As soon as she said that the whole squad started running up the hill.
"What are they thinking leaving their flag defensless?"
Anna was bewildered by their behaviour.
"Lets go steal the flag." Emily was excited. She saw a chance to end the game in a single move.
"No. It can be a trap. Let me call Akio."
Anna then used her smartwatch to call Akio.
Akio immediately responded.
"Any problems?"
"Their whole squad just ran away from the flag. We can steal it. What do you want us to do?"
"It can be a trap. Wait for ten minutes. If they don't arrive then one of you can steal while other keeps watch."
"ok"
The call was cut off.
"So ten minutes of waiting. Ahh! I am tired of waiting."
Emily was bored but she couldn't complain as Akio was right.
"Sniff!Sniff! Hey Emily do you smell domething burning?"
Emily took a deep breath trying to smell.
"Yeah! It smells like wood burnin-"
Soon the area around both of them was surrounded by fire. The flames were big as the trees.
The flames didn't reach the tree that Anna and Emily were sitting on but the heat was getting to them.
"Hey Anna did your barrier not work?"
"Thats impossible. Even if the barrier was not strong I would know if someone destoyed it."
As they were taking an arrow came straight at Emily.
"Swoosh!"
Emily barely dodged the attack. She looked infront and saw Aqua squirming and holding a bow.
Emily jumped down from the tree and rushed towards Aqua. Aqua kept firing arrows but none of them aere even close to hitting Emily.
"Quite bad at archey for an elf."
Emily mocked Aqua. Aqua didn't react. He still kept firing. Emily had closed the distance between them.
She took her rapier out and aimed for his neck.
'Your dead now.'
( Anna had been eliminated.
Five points to Squad 1.)
"What!!"
Emily immediately turned behind. She could see a sword piercing Anna's stomach and her body slowly fading away.
The owner of the sword was Adam. His brown hair fluttered by the wind and his sword shining under the light of fire made him look like a knight.
'When?How?'
Emily was shocked. No matter how she thought about it,she couldn't imagine how they managed to destroy their defense within minutes.
"Don't f-forget about me"
Aqua said that while he shot an arrow. Emily heard him but it was too late for her to dodge that arrow.
If it was Aqua of the past he would miss the shot even if it was this close but Ryujin's training made his aim better.
The arrow flew staright at Emily's head and pierced her skull.
(Emily Nix has been eliminated.
Five points to Squad 1.)
"Damn! That was a good line Aqua:Don't forget about me"
Ryujin came out of the bush. Behind him was Cary.
Aqua slightly blushed hearing Ryujin teasing him but he was also proud to contribute to the squad.
Adam jumped down from the tree and walked towards Ryujin.
Cary looked at Emily's body fading away.
"We didn't even need to step up. Lets go now. This heat is making me sweat a lot."
Ryujin agreed with him.
"Yeah! Even though we caused it. It feels like my underwear is stuck to my balls."
Adam looked at Ryujin disgustingly.
"How do you come up with such weird analogies?"
"What that's true though? Right Cary?"
Cary didn't say anything.
"Right Aqua?"
Aqua also didn't respond.
"Aww!Come on! If you are a true man then once in your life your balls have stuck to hour underwear because of heat."
Adam could only shake his head.
"Aqua just get us out of here. He will not stop his weird talk."
"What? How am I weird. Listen to me-"
Aqua casted a water barrier around them and they got out of the flames.
Ryujin kept talking about the heat, his balls and underwear.
