Chapter 10 - Chapter 10. Stressing

After the guide said that Liora said "Great now I'm stressing."

"Please don't stress, follow me," The woman said with a smile and started to walk in the direction of the school.

The breeze had a soothing effect causing Liora to calm down a little bit. They walked for a bit and then got mixed into the crowd that was walking through but somehow everyone else vanished after the sound of something like a drum was hit on.

"What the" Yuki yelped out as she couldn't even sense anyone else anymore. The group also frantically looked around for anyone.

"This is one of the defensive measures placed on the school to help prevent overcrowding or panic in case of emergency." she smiled taking pride in the fact she worked at the school " It is a Legendary artifact called Drum Of Fear. I'm not sure how it works but it makes everyone vanish into groups of people who feel they are in a party. I designated all of you in my mind as friends so you all vanished with me.

Anyways this is the courtyard entrance, it is in the center of the school, and your dorms are found on the second floor so we will go up the stairs that are down this hallway." Sheila the temporary guide said.

The group passed by what felt like hundreds of doors until they finally reached a stair set that was about 20 feet wide and had railings on the side to hold on to when going up or down.

Michael was in shock "I am a prince and this whole place is bigger than my castle" The group felt the same way and was just admiring all of the rare metals and materials that were used in creating the massive hallway.

The group walked up the stairs and was then asked by Shiela "What is the number on your card?"

The group all said "2-301,2-302,2-100" with the girls saying the 2-100

Shiela nodded and continued to walk turning down a few different hallways and said "Here is room 2-100 please get comfortable, you will find there is women's apparel and other such necessities in here that are all free and provided by the school."

The girls all looked around and decided to say their goodbyes to the boys. "Bye Lila," Alexander said with a huge and relieving smile.

"By Alexander, I'll see you in an hour," Lila said back with the other girls saying pretty much the same thing to everyone else.

Sheila looked at the door being shut and started to walk once more toward the boy's room.

She looked at the boys and quickly gut-punched Alexander, Ren, and Gunther knocking them out cold before even Eram could react. Shiela then said, " Please face me with everything you got, this is a test you must pass."

"Shit!" Ryker yelled as he quickly ran towards the woman and tried to punch her but somehow managed to miss.

Eram got punched in the face almost blacking out but thanks to his regenerative abilities managed to stay up. "What the actual fuck how is she so strong, and why is no one coming out to help!" Michael hid behind Eram as he got punched and jumped out when he thought he had a chance only to get beaten down just as hard managing to stay up due to his physical strength.

"No one can hear you, this is a test so please take this seriously and try to kill me," Shiela said as she pulled out a knife and quickly dashed for Eram cutting a slice through the center of his eyes and blinding him. " Those eyes of yours are dangerous I'll take them from you."

Eram started screaming as his eyes were bleeding and not healing causing him a great deal of stress and fear. Ryker was faring no better he tried to use his ability but he was punched in the jaw so hard that it broke and canceled his ability. He then joined in Eram's Terror as blud filled his mouth and he couldn't do anything about it.

Michael was scared he was going to get his new acquaintances killed because he was too weak to do anything so he tried even harder to use his core abilities to their fullest. He caused himself to be the center of gravity making the lady fall towards him and he tried to hit her with his other ability to clean slate which made the user's abilities stop working temporarily. His hand glowed with a faint light as he attempted to hit her but she slapped his arm hard enough to break it making it flop over and hit Eram disabling his abilities including his healing ability causing Eram even more extreme pain.

Through the pain and blindness, Eram got up barely conscious, and screamed a scream of anger. As soon as his ability he altered gravity downwards again somehow and not only that managed to multiply it close to 5 times. Ryker was on the ground doing his best to make a healing spell with one of his abilities to stop himself from drowning in his blood. Michael felt a pain so far down inside of him that he instinctively realized his soul had been damaged he cried as the pain was overwhelming.

Eram's eyes finally healed with a sizzling. He looked at the woman in front of her he couldn't see straight and slowly walked towards her blood coming out of his tear ducts. "You will die." Eram's mouth opened and spoke those words but not with his voice, but those of a monster. Eram's hand opened up releasing the gravity field around him that multiplied gravity but instead opened up his palm changing gravity solely from his hand to the woman close to 50 times causing her to get sucked towards it. He grabbed her face as soon as she got close enough.

" I see, you passed sorry for testing you guys. It would be a shame if you killed my subordinate" Cedric appeared out of nowhere and sounded to make his entrance. He held up his hand causing a purple like to appear around rams arm which was holding the woman and it fell with a plop.

Eram screamed his body mutating beyond what was human but Cedric said calmly "That's enough i said you passed close your eyes and stop throwing a temper tantrum." He waved his hand causing what felt like all of the air in the room to be sucked out even all of the air in Eram's body causing him to go into shock and pass out his body halting the mutation and making him go back to his original appearance.

Another wave of Principal Thorne's hand healed both of the other students even Michaels's soul. Cedric looked down at the unconscious Eram with sorrow and pity wrapping his hands around his head " So this is who you chose I'm happy you found someone." he then looked at now unconscious Ryker "It's nice to see you in there too, I know all are fading but still it's good to see yall have moved on."

"What are you talking about sir," Michael said with tears in his eyes as he barely managed to stay awake.

"It's just the ramblings of an old man Don't worry child." Principal Thorne then waved his hand and then multiple Professor Thornes appeared and gently picked up everyone and carried everyone to their rooms through a warp. " Here my children whom I love and cherish please rest food will be in an hour the girls will be here to wake everyone up," Cedric said while looking at the beat and battered Michael. Cedric and the woman whose name was Shiela who was unconscious and being carried by the last remaining Cedric that hasn't vanished disappeared without a trace.

'Damnit I wasn't able to do anything. We almost died and I stood there helplessly and the only people that could even do anything were Eram and Ryker, FUCK!' after crying a bit he passed out as well.

"Wake up."

"Wake up."

"Its time to eat."

"Wake up."

"Aren't you hungry?"
