The children gathered before a forest with the phoenix grandmaster standing in front of them with her arms folded. She had on a very sharp look that was enough to slice an enemy apart. She scanned each and every one of the children with her cold and deadly eyes, any student her gaze landed on could only gulp nervously.
Her gaze landed on Dreama giving hm a frown.
Dreama couldn't help but gulp as we
"Just why is this wench staring at me with this kind of look' he thought to himself.
He noticed her frown became even deeper.
'Wait don't tell me she can read minds too' he became even more nervous.
Her gaze even burned deeper into him gaining the attention of the other children who couldn't help but wonder what Dreama had done to gain the phoenix deadly attraction.
Kash smirked" I guess it's one opponent down. This guy is so dead"
_________________________________________________________________________
The phoenix grandmaster observed the whole kids to know their potential and limit in order to assign the perfect test for each of them. She was able to read their full potential which was not too pleasing except for a few like Liam and Kash who's potential was worth nurturing.
When it got to Dreama's turn, she couldn't read his potential it was like there was a block preventing her from look, more like she wasn't worthy of seeing his potential which was strange as she was stronger than him, her ability was meant to work on him.
"Just what is going on here. Wait could it be?" she thought to herself.
"No, it can't be he's way too young"
"I need to let the others know about this"
She then came back to her surrounding and noticed she was still staring hard at Dreama who was sweating.
"it definitely can't be him he's already this scared from my look how then can he.. never mind ill let the others decide"
She cleared up her throat.
"Have decided what your missions will be" she observed their reactions.
" You will be assigned into a group of five and each group has to defeat a monster the more powerful the monster defeated is the more point your group will get". The children had a relieved look on their faces some of them even started moving closer to the geniuses.
The phoenix frowned at this.
'How foolish' she thought after seeing their attitudes.
" Just a little reminder don't try hunting monsters more powerful than you can handle with your current level of strength or you'll die a dog's death" their faces grew solemn.
"And another thing the one who makes the most contribution gets the whole group point so don't go thinking that when you follow a powerful leader, you'll get a smooth sail ill tell you its only a smooth sail to failure" They even grew more frustrated.
"Just what is the whole point of being in a group if we can't benefit from it" some of the children had that thought in their heads.
"Why the hell do you plan on joining a sect it you plan on being useless" she replied to the hypocrisy going through their heads.
"I'll be assigning you to your groups now"

One hour later they had all been placed in different groups.
"You have 8 hours to find monsters, kill them and also return here, so don't get carried away"
"Get out of here" with a wave of her hand they found themselves in different positions in the forest.
Kash was very annoyed when he figured out they had all been separated.
"Those bastards would have been crippled by now, just why the hell did that wench separate all of us".
A girl in his group noticed his annoyed expression and decided to find out why.
"young master why are you looking annoyed" she asked kindly. Unknowingly she had awakened a sleeping demon. The other kids quickly distanced themselves far away from the scene not wanting to be caught up in it.
"Young master are…."
A strong hand griped her neck. Kash raised his head up he had a mad look on his face.
"I might as well loose some steam" he pushed her to the ground and ripped her robe off.
The others who had escaped the scene couldn't help but shiver as they heard an agonizing cry and a crazed laugh. They had escaped because they knew the kind of monster he was under the disguise of his handsome face.
______________________________________________________________________
In Dreama's group they were thrown right in the middle of a battle going on between two beasts, who after seeing them decided to put an hold to their battles and kill the annoying humans first.
"Here goes my shit luck" Dreama sighed.
His group was made up of inexperienced children who only knew how to swing sword at a dummy.
"Just why in the hell did she have to pick these children as my team mate now I'll have to try multitask"
He blocked off an attack from a giant bore.
"I want you all to get yourselves together. We need to beat these two guys or we're just gonna die here"
"The grand master said not to engage in monsters stronger than our level of power and these guys fall into the list, let's just run away"
Dreama had the urge to face palm himself but held back as he had to resist a combined attack from the bore and the bear which pushed him back a bit.
"Do this guys look to you like they'll let us go"
"It's a good thing you're holding them off. We'll be leaving now don't worry tour sacrifice will not be forgotten"
The four kids ran as quickly as they could, not even sparing a glance behind them to see if Dreama was wining or even about to die.
"Just my luck for getting the useless ones" he was in complete disbelieve.
"Anyway, since those good for nothing are gone, I guess I don't need to hold back anymore" he cracked his knuckles and smile at the monsters In front of him. His smile was like that of a demon ready to kill at no cost or remorse.
"Demon claws!"
he met the bear strike with that of his own punch sending if flying.
As the bore, he sidesteps with lightning speed, grabbed hold of its tusk flipped it over with overwhelming strength, sending the beast tumbling. The bear tries to swipe at him but he ducks under the claws, springing up he delivers a powerful punch to its chest, drawing blood from its insides with was in chaos.
The bear was not deterred. It stood on its hind legs, towering above Dreama trying to intimidate him. It used its special skill roar to try to paralyze him but he had the wrong opponent. It roared and immediately swung its paws at his head planning on turning it into a paste.
Dreama didn't flinch he controlled the gravity around the paw and slowed down its speed bringing it to a complete halt. He grabbed hold of the bear's paw and smiled maniacally, with a bit of effort, he twisted its paw. The bear yelped as it felt a world of pain, its body twisted unnaturally as he heaved it sideways. With a deafening crash, the bear toppled, slamming into the ground with enough force to send tremors through the forest.
"ice shards" with a wave of his hand he impaled the fallen bear killing it on spot.
The bore dazed began to contemplate if it should keep up its attack or just escape, but its pride made if choose to stay and fight.
It pawed the ground, preparing for another charge. Dreama glanced at it, almost bored. As the bore rushed at him again, this time he didn't wait. With an explosive speed, he leapt into the air, bringing both fists down in an arc. They connected to the bore's back in a thunderous blow. The ground beneath them cracked as the bore collapsed with a pained squeal, its body completely motionless.
Dreama stretched out his boy after he was done collecting both monster's core.
"That was fun. Let's go find some monsters to play with" he smiled and walked further into the forest whistling along the way.
