Meanwhile, the other contestants are been chased by some strange bees as they tried jumping over vines while moving around the forest, trying to get away from them.
"Fire ball, Exploding Stars" the shiny boy said as he turned towards the bees and shot lots of small shiny balls.
As soon as the bees came in contact with it, the little balls exploded which caused a chain reaction, causing the whole place to be covered in flames.
"We're safe!" The other boy shouted as he saw the explosions.
"No we're not!" The shiny boy replied.
"Yeah, do you think those pathetic little balls would stop them!" The cutting boy said.
"Why don't you attack them mister hotshot!" The shiny boy replied.
"Sure no problem!" The cutting boy said as bees emerged from the explosion.
"Well it's now or never to try that attack!" The young man said as he was carrying the three girls on his shoulder while running.
"Cutting magic, Ultimate Slayer" the cutting boy said as a large magical seal appeared in front of him and shot lots of slash marks towards the bees.
"They are too much!" The cutting boy said as he stopped his attacks and continued running.
"Oh, did you just realize that mister hotshot!" The shiny boy replied.
"Fine your attack wasn't pathetic, happy now!" The cutting boy said.
"Yes, yes I am" the shiny boy replied.
"Well that isn't necessary if we are all going to die!" The other boy said.
"Hey parasite, why don't you shut your mouth and be useful for once!" The cutting boy replied.
"Star magic, Laser Beam" the shiny boy said as he turned back and waved his hands, killing lots of bees.
"It's not working, can't you guys try using another powerful attack or something!" The other boy said.
"Why don't the parasite try helping out, instead of whining his mouth!" The shiny boy said as he gave the other boy a death piercing look.
"So he has automatically become a parasite, huh" the young man thought.
The water girl raised her hands as a magic seal appeared in front of it as she weakly said "Water Spear" while her hands were shaking.
The seal brought out a spear and shot it towards the bees as her hands fell.
"You're in no shape to cast spells, please rest" the young man said.
"I have to be useful at least" the water girl replied as she was completely drained of her magical abilities and needed medical care.
She raised her hand and shot another spear towards the bees, but it was just one that flew as her hands fell again.
"See, at least one of us isn't a parasite!" The cutting boy said as he turned back and swung his hands shouting "Sever"
"Star magic, Laser Beam" The shiny boy said as a seal appeared in his hands and shot a bright hot golden yellow laser while he swung it, killing so many bees.
"I'm not a parasite!" The other boy shouted as he thought "How are they not out if magic yet. Is possible they didn't stay in the cocoon as long as me, maybe that's why they still have some reserves"
"Hey don't zone out, do you want to be left behind!" The young man said as the other boy came back to his senses.
"Don't worry about him!" The shiny boy said.
"Yeah, his totally useless! Even a dying girl is able to help out, while he can't!" The cutting boy said.
"Stop that, I'm not useless!" The other boy replied.
"Your right, your not useless!" The shiny boy said.
"Thank you!" The other boy replied.
"Yeah, his worse than useless!" The cutting boy said.
"Exactly" the shiny boy replied as he nodded his head in agreement.
"Don't listen to them if you don't want to get depressed" the young man said.
"Star magic, Laser Beam" the shiny boy said waving his hands again to kill those bees that were getting very close as the cutting boy said "Cutting magic, Ultimate Slayer"
They both killed the bees that were close to them as they all continued running.
"Hey Parasite, don't fall behind! If not we would abandon you!" The shiny boy said.
"He's not even useful so if he falls behind who cares" the cutting boy said.
Natsu saw a bright beam of light coming from the side and as he turned, he saw white slash marks flying through the air with a golden yellow laser beam.
"Is that were the others are?" Natsu said as he turned forward and looked at the research facility ahead of him.
"Ahhhhh!!! I can't just abandon them" Natsu screamed as he flew towards a tree and loosed his blades, which he wrapped on the tree branch placing his blades back in his pouch.
"You guys should hold on, help is coming" Natsu said as he stood up and turned towards them while throwing the other side of the rope, using it to get down.
The others continued running through the forest as they jumped down from a high surface and continued running.
"This exam is really starting to look like it was made to kill us" the young man said.
"I can't believe you are just figuring that out!!!" the three boys shouted in unison.
"Right from the beginning of this exam, it's been obvious they planned to kill us" the other boy said.
"Oh come on, the beginning of the exam was child's play, the main problem is that I'm running out of magic and stamina, and killing all these beasts would be a problem" the cutting boy said.
"I don't agree with you on that. If not for my magical items, I wouldn't have reached this far in the exams. Just think, if no one came with magical suits and weapons, do you really think we would be able to catch up to mister Gildart" the shiny boy said.
"Exactly, how do they expect us to move as fast as him when our magic isn't really made for speed, like almost everyone came with a magical item!" The other boy replied.
"They aren't lying, my magic mostly revolves around physical strength, me being able to move really fast is all thanks to my armor" the young man said.
"Wait! If that's so then why can't you just carry us and move really fast" the other boy shouted.
"Are you stupid or something, the reason his unable to do so is because the spider webs interfered with the armors programming while it tried to take his magic, which means his armor right now is unstable for usage" the cutting boy replied.
"We're so dead" the other boy screamed.
"Instead of saying that, can't you try to help out" the shiny boy said as he waved his hands again killing the bees with his laser.
"I'm out of magic, I'm completely drained out of magic!" the other boy said in frustration.
"That's impossible, there's no way you could say your completely drained out of magic and your able to move like this" the cutting boy replied.
"Oh, so until I end up like that water girl, that's when you would realize that I can't use magic" the boy said amused but sarcastically as he frowned his face.
"If you still have a little energy remaining please use it to help out" the shiny boy said.
"You don't get it, if I cast one or two spells I'll end up like her and with the way you guys are treating me, you'll just abandon me, leaving me to die here" the other boy screamed.
"I'm almost out of magic" the shiny boy said.
"This can't be happening" the cutting boy replied.
"I'm sorry, but even when the spiders caught me I tried to keep the place bright so that someone would be able to save me, as I tried protecting myself from the spiders by launching powerful attacks. That's why I'm almost out of magic, I spent it all keeping the place bright while protecting myself from those creatures" the shiny boy said.
"Wow, so he was there before me and yet with all those things happening to him, he's still able to cast powerful spells. He's really strong" the other boy thought.
"That explains why the hole became bright when I entered, I guess you had to spend more energy than I did to keep the place bright" the cutting boy said.
"Wow you two are really amazing" the young man said.
"Fine I'll be the one killing them but you better not fall behind" the cutting boy said.
"Thanks, I still have five powerful spells left before I become completely drained out, so I'll reserve it for when it's necessary" the shiny boy replied.
"I kinda feel useless for not being able to support them" the other boy said in a really low tone.
"Of course you should! You haven't really given us a good reason for why you can't help out" the cutting boy said.
"I'm not as powerful as you guys okay, if I use one spell, I wouldn't be able to do anything again" the other boy replied.
The cutting boy shot multiple splashes from his hands while he moved it.
"Guess you're starting to use basic spells to injure them" the young man said.
"Yeah, right now killing them isn't really the major thing here. I'm the only one left so using basic spells that doesn't require any chant or basically no mana is the best, this way I can defend us while keeping the bees away until we reach a safe place or the exit" the cutting boy said.
"Well I'm okay with that but the only problem I have is this, I'm not sure any of us know where we're going" the young man replied.
"Right now our key focus should be on surviving, we can think on how to get to the exit later" the shiny boy replied.
They continued running as they reached a big root, as the young man slide under while the three boys jumped, as one used his hands to jumped while the other two leaped above it.
They reached a cliff as the other boy shouted "It's a dead end!"
The cutting boy began launching powerful attack as he shouted "Cutting Magic, Ultimate Slayer" as a large seal appeared while he waved his hands as a white line flew, killing so many bees.
"Sever" the boy said as he moved his hands and said "I really wish I have a blade right now"
"Why?" the shiny boy asked.
"It amplifies my magic and makes it easier to cut through things than my hands" the cutting boy said as he continued launching powerful attacks.
"Hey kid pull out my blade and give it to him" the young man said.
The other boy immediately ran towards him and pulled his blade from his waist as he said "This sword is heavy" and carried it towards the cutting boy.
"Star Magic, Destructive Beam" the shiny boy said as he killed lot's of bees and said "Two more attacks left"
The other boy brought the blade towards the cutting guy and said "Here have it, it's heavy, but if it would help amplify your magic, I guess it's what using"
The cutting guy took it and said "Thanks" as he took a deep breath and swung the blade shouting "Cutting Magic, Destructive Slash"
All of them jaws dropped as they saw multiple bees divide into several parts.
"This guy is no joke, he's really strong, for a second there I thought his attack didn't work since I didn't see anything but the bees just suddenly split into several parts" the other boy thought.
"It looks like the sword is just fine" the cutting boy said as he smiled and told everyone to get back and shouted "Cutting Magic, Unlimited Divider" as he swung the sword multiple times.
They were all surprised as they saw everything getting destroyed even the ground and trees got destroyed as the cutting boy stopped and panted.
"I'm all out of magic, if that didn't finish them then we're toast!" The cutting said as he knelt down and used the blade to support himself while panting.
"I don't want to be the one bringing bad news but more are coming" the young man said.
The shiny boy looked down and said "We can't jump down from this height! It's too high for us to survive the fall"
"So what you're saying right now is that we're toast" the other boy said.
"I got one spell left but I'm not sure it would be effective" the shiny boy said.
"This can't be, are we really going to die like this!" The other boy said as he fell towards the ground with his knees.
"I guess this is our punishment for abandoning that boy" the young man said.
