Chapter 8 - Last Second

Every guard was shocked. One guard said that it is impossible, one can't finish this stage before an hour. Mr. Son said, " No other member of Kurotsuchi has ever finished this exam this fast. Remarkable indeed!" But, Noya and Shin are stuck with the snake. Shin asked me

Shin : Is this some kind of Cavle?

Noya: I don't think so. It doesn't look like a Cavle and also doesn't show species of a Cavle.

Shin: But, we have to defeat it because the finishing line is there.

Noya: I think we have to fight it together.

Shin: Alright, I'm ready

Then, Shin and Noya started smiling bitterly and rushed towards the snake and attacked the snake. But, the snake was too strong. It prevented every attack having no scratch. Then, it rapidly attacked Noya with its tail and threw him at Shin. Noya landed on Shin. Shin then realized it can't be defeated that easily.

But, other participants have already started crossing the finishing line. One said, "It was very hard but finally we made it". Then a team of five girls crossed the finishing line. At one point, Mr. Son started watching the players who finished this stage. One said to Mr. Son, " Only 6 minutes left" Mr. Son replied, "Looks like not many of the players will pass this test."

Shin and I are still fighting the snake. I tried my hardest but the opponent was too strong. Shin stood up from the ground and said, "Only 4 minutes left. What will we do now, Noya?" Mr. Son said, "Only 2 minutes left" Then Shin advised me that, to defeat this snake, we have to fool the snake. I agreed. I rushed towards the snake and Shin jumped and tried to kick from the back of the snake but when we were about to pull out our attack, the snake landed a deadly blow on us. As a result, we were severely injured.

 But, as we planned, when the snake starts to think, we are in trouble, we both will land a surprise blow. We both stood up and were going to make a final attack together. But, I threw Shin to the back of the snake. The snake looked back and I rushed towards the snake's blind spot and punched very hard in that blind spot. The snake was weakened because when you get hit by a surprise attack, it damages more effectively. Then the snake looked at me and when it was about to attack me, from behind Shin jumped and kicked at the center of the snake's head. It couldn't endure two heavy surprise attacks in a row. As a result, Noya and Shin at last defeated the snake. But, only 10 seconds left now. We ran very fast to the finishing line and finally we reached the finishing line in the last second. As the time is over, Mr. Son congratulated us and said, "Those who have made it this far have passed this test. Now, move on to the last stage. All 15 players are now eligible to enter the 4th stage." But as soon as he said his words, suddenly one of the guard showed up and said to Mr. Son, "Sir, we have been sent with some instructions from the Chief." Mr. Son is shocked.
