With that he flew up a little, careful not to fly too high and attract opponents, he then spread his gravitational field in all directions for two miles, but then he felt something enter his field, no someone and fast at that, extremely fast in fact.
He was most certainly sure that the person was in gold rank, and the person seems to have locked on to him as he/she was coming directly towards him. 'It's been barely three minutes, and I'm already in a pinch, well let's see who it is, if the person is extremely strong, then all I have to do is find a way to escape which will not be easy if the enemy is fixed on me'.
He had already prepared to blast off the moment he sees someone he can't take. Soon the person or rather, she appeared before him, "what are the odds" he muttered as they faced each other. It was a girl with striking features with flowing golden locks and the same color of eyes. Yes it was none other than Ashley Wellington.
The moment he sighted her, he was fully prepared to take flight even if it'll attract more enemies but as he took a closer look at her, he felt relief. It wasn't the fact that she was beautiful or her being in the same class as him that gave him relief , if anything it was the number twenty four on her chest.
Seeing her number he slowly calmed down but was still on guard, who knows if she'll suddenly attack him. It wasn't until she finally spoke that he relaxed. "It seems we're in the same team Mr. Walker" she said. "Yeah it seems to be the case I suppose" he replied.
"That said, why I wouldn't eliminate you, I wouldn't go out of my way to save you" she said. "No problem Ms. Wellington" he said but inwardly; 'this bitch, when did I say I needed her protection but still deciding not to eliminate me is not bad at least'.
"Do you want to go on your own or would you like to group up?" She asked. "I prefer to be by myself for now" he replied. "Suit yourself" she said before walking away.
After she left, he lingered for some moment before deciding to head in the opposite direction. He thought about it, he'd be better off without her. Why? Good question, because if he went with her, he wouldn't get a chance as she can easily eliminate enemies faster than he could, meaning she could hog all the kills.
For example, the potential enemy he was sensing in his gravity field currently, approximately seven hundred and twenty meters south from him.
If he was with her, she would be the one to take the kill, but now, he masked his presence and slowly approached where he sensed the presence, he sighted a boy walking away, so he decided to act.
'Youll be my first blood's he said inwardly. He coated his hand in gravitational energy, constructing a blade like construct around his arm before jumping in towards the guy and impaling him in the heart from behind. The boy kneeled over and tried to talk, his face clouded with disbelief, he couldn't believe he was eliminated not even ten minutes into the test.
But before he could, his body turned into motes of light and disappeared. "That was one down, an unfortunate soul" he muttered pitying the guy a little, thinking the guy was probably the first to get eliminated. 'Lets keep hunting, after all I wouldn't want to fall behind that guy, speaking of which he's probably having fun right now'.
Meanwhile with Owen.
"Achooo, is anyone speaking bad about me behind my back" he muttered.
Adam continued to go through the forest, but he didn't encounter any other cadets. Soon he got out of the forest only to see a ruined apocalyptic city. "Now that's something you don't see everyday" he said.
He cautiously entered the city while being careful to not activate his gravitation field, because it goes two ways, sense and be sensed.
When he uses it, he can sense every detail in a construct like way but the field can also be sensed by powerful people, specifically those at the gold rank and above.
"Hey pretty face, what class are you from" he heard a voice from his right. Turning his head he saw a group of four with three guys and one girl, all with the number fifty two on the left side of their chests. He discreetly constructed an invisible shield in front of him before answering the question with a question.
"who's asking?" he asked
"Who's asking? I'll tell you who's asking, your father is" said one of the guys.
"You see my father's been dead a long while, I can see your strategy trying to provoke and anger me into making a mistake, so you can take me down smoothly, nice plan indeed, but you thought wrong, strategy or not, there's no way you can win" he said.
Honestly to him they were nothing, they were all in early silver and were probably in the normal class. "This bastard, who does he think he is, let's all attack him together" said the one who seems to be their leader.
Seeing the one who seemed to be the leader trying to rile up their morale, Adam didn't hesitate to make a move as the full pressure of his aura burst out, he unleashed his crushing on them, making them fall to the ground due to loss of balance, before he moved to them step by step, the soles of his shoes making sounds in the otherwise silent environment.
He did the same thing as before, making a blade like construct on his arm before he proceeded to eliminate them all, he watched as they turned to motes of light. "That's five on my down, haha" he chuckled. "I'm starting to like this.
He entered deeper into the ruined city and arrived at the other side in approximately an hour but didn't meet anyone else, after he left the city, he encountered two more people one at the early silver rank and the other at the mid silver rank. He swiftly eliminated them, taking his kill count to seven.
