Vexx continued walking down the street with his new arm towards the train station. When Vexx walked to the train schedules he was really confused "I need to get to Vord station, Which train do i need to take?" Before Vexx could find it he heard someone calling out his name "Hey Vexx long time no see" The one who had called was none other than Blake.
When Vexx turned around and looked at him Blake had an surprised expression and looked at him and said "What happened… You look really muscular and you have kind of slimmed down a little?" Vexx's answered "I just did a little bit of training during the break" He said and looked a little nervous but Blake didn't pry further.
"This is the train we are going on" Blake said and pointed at the schedule at a train which would leave in 20 minutes.
"How has your brake been?" Vexx asked Blake, Blake thought for a while and eventually said "It has been pretty uneventful actually I have trained and studied… what about yours?" Vexx looked at the ground and decided that he couldn't trust Blake. They hadn't been friends for a long time and he barely knew him.
"I've been training the whole break," Vexx said while smiling. They talked for another 15 minutes before the train arrived. As Vexx paid he looked at the amount and sighed "There goes half of my remaining money i guess"
After about 2 hours on the train they had arrived in Vord, When they got out they saw a big city that didn't look like anything Vexx had seen before but Blake looked like this wasn't anything impressive at all.
After they got out on the street it was about an hour on foot. Right outside the big city was a big sign saying "Hunter Academy" Vexx looked through the big gates and took the first step with Blake right behind.
When they entered they saw around 500 people standing and waiting. There was a big comotian in one of the corners where they saw a long blond girl who was surrounded by people that looked like some fans.
Vexx asked Blake "Do you know her?" "Yes I do, She's Naomi Howl, She's a direct descendant of the Water origin and apparently she is really strong" Blake said while glancing at the other potential student's. Vexx looked at the strange girl and realized quite quickly that she probably was taller than him which made him a little bit irritated, But he didn't have more time to think about that because then a voice was heard.
"Hi and welcome to the Hunter Academy, My name is Albert Jackson and I'm one of the teachers and I'm holding the evaluation this year. The evaluation is going to work like a normal one on one battle so we can see your strength against a living creature. I would recommend going all out. We have personnel in the arena so even if you get hurt they can stop the fight. Well with that being said let's begin the evaluation."
"Are you ready Vexx?" Blake asked with a big grin on his face, "I think so" Then Albert announced the first fight.
"First to fight will be Blake River against Kamari Adams"
As Vexx wished Blake good luck he heard how the student's started talking "Is it River as in the origin clan."
"They didn't show the fights because of the students' privacy but they announced the winner of every round" It didn't take half a minute before they announced that Blake river was the winner. "Wow!" Those Were the only words Vexx could think of at that time. After Blake had battled there were several other battles but they took much longer than Blakes fight.
Eventually Albert announced "The next once to fight are Naomi Howl against Vexx Ward, Vexx heard some people talking about how he was unlucky as he walked forward as everyone looked at him, When he was at the front he saw how Naomi had taken out her hand and said "Good luck" Vexx quickly shock her hand and said "Thanks, The same to you" As they walked in Vexx didn't feel nervous at all he actually felt really calm and focused.
When they came into the little arena he saw how there were teachers sitting in the seats near the front and two of them walked forward and escorted them to their starting places one of them said "This match will be going on for 5 minutes if both are still standing then the one who is in the best condition is the winner, And remember give it your all. Let's begin."
As Vexx heard these words another message suddenly appeared in his head
[Quest]
[Defeat Naomi Howl]
[Reward: Instant level up + ???]
When Vexx was done reading the messages he saw how Naomi held a sword in her hand and stood in a strange pose. It kind of looked like some sort of fighting stance but he wasn't quite sure yet.
As he was about to sprint toward her he blinked one time and she was already running towards him, Vexx quickly jumped back and took a deep breath. Vexx looked at the clear blue water that started floating in the air around her sword. Vexx looked at her and sprinted forward, When he was close enough he changed direction and repeated this until he had a good opportunity and threw out a weak kick towards Naomi's ribs.
Even though Naomi was confused about how weak his kick was. But she just swung around and tried to counter attack Vexx in the leg but he already prepared and stopped the kick directly in mid air and quickly tackled her with all his force Vexx saw how Naomi dropped her sword in the process. Naomi was startled and a bit impressed,
Before she could go towards her sword Vexx quickly sprinted towards her but before he could throw a punch at Naomi he heard Cormac's voice "She is planning an assault behind you!" Vexx quickly looked around him and saw how the water on the sword had risen up forming 5 bullets made of water. Before he could turn around he saw them start spinning and shot forward.
Vexx knew that he had no chance of dodging the bullets in time so he used his darkness and spread it around his back. When the 5 bullets hit him he barley
felt anything
[-1]

[HP 12/15]
As everyone saw the bullets hit but next to nothing happened they all looked at him with a bit of a surprise. Albert looked at Vexx back and was surprised by the event and whispered to the woman who was beside him. "How did he do that? I have never seen anything like that" The woman who sat next to him just shrugged her shoulders but started to pay a little more attention to Vexx.
Vexx took advantage of the surprise and ran forward and threw a punch at Naomi but Naomi was quick to react and did a spin to her right and sprinted towards her sword.
Naomi quickly grabbed her sword and spun around where Vexx now stod and stabbed him in the stomach.
Albert announced the winner and two people quickly took Vexx away. Naomi took one last glance at him before she smiled and walked away.
