Azure blue hair as blue as the night sky, lit by a shooting star. Dark blue sapphires for eyes. Features soft but sharp. Stoicism as hard as steal. And a pink hammer of doom, conjured by her fair hands.
"HEEELP!!!" A loud screech echoed through the forest as one of their team's members ran for his life. Only for a dagger to shoot straight for his heart causing him to disperse into light blue particles.
The leader's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets as he immediately turned towards the source of the attack. Pink hammer came straight down at him. He barely managed to block it with his sword. He parried after a fair struggle.
"What the hell?! Who is she?!!!" One of his team members that he had gathered together, shouted at the top of his lungs. The team leader jumped back distancing himself from the stone faced beauty in front of him.
"That's her... It's really her..." His eyes widened as he stood up and stared straight at her all familiar face. "We're fucked..." The team leader sighed as he held up his sword, his grip, iron tight on the hilt.
"Who?" One of his ignorant team members voiced his confusion.
"It's the duke's daughter." He said turning to his teammate. "Which duke?" His teammate asked tilting his head to the side.
"Lumine, you daft brute. Duke Lumine." He said in an irritated tone as he prepared for a volley of different attacks. He's heard of her before. Evelyn Lumine, the duke's daughter with a powerful ability.
Suddenly a pink ethereal spear flew straight at him which he barely managed to dodge. Though, he couldn't do it without injury as the spear pierced his shoulder causing him to scream in pain.
"Attack her! What are you waiting for?!" The team leader yelled at his teammates as he laid sprawled on the floor the spear still impaling his shoulder. He knew he was safe. That he would be teleported out and healed back to peak state if he was eliminated but... Looking at Evelyn's stoic face as she absolutely tore his team apart... It scared him.
He watched as Evelyn, on her own, disposed of any and all who approached her or attacked her. After she was done. She let out a long breath before she approached him. The downed team leader tried his best to back away, stammering to push himself back despite his injury.
Evelyn held her hands up high before a giant hammer materialized in her hands that she swung down at full force. The team leader brought his hands up in a futile attempt to protect himself only for blue energy to surround him. His environment changed. He fell on his back on hard wood as he sighed in relief.
"Holy shit, she's scary..."
----------------------------------------
Evelyn huffed letting go of the giant pink hammer in her hand causing it to disappear. "That should be the last of them..."
Ping!
+13 points!
+5 extra for single-handedly wiping a team!
Evelyn raised an eyebrow in surprise. "I get extra if I wipe a team on my own?" A small, rare smile crossed her face before she hardened her expression and cleared her throat into her hand. "Good. This way I can easily get into the royal class."
She turned around, away from the carnage she had created. Then she proceeded towards the centre, where she had seen and heard a large commotion. Explosions, magic, fire flung all around. It's a battle ground for the ones that are brave enough or reckless enough to engage in battle with the strong.
Most examineers moved towards the centre once the exam had started. That included Evelyn, she swiftly had to retreat as there was too much chaos out there, both chaos and powerful players that were out for her head once they recognized her. They most likely deemed her a dangerous threat.
"Evelyn Lumine is it?" Evelyn stopped abruptly as she turned towards the source of the voice up on a tree branch. She was met with silver long hair tied in one pony tail. The hair was so long that it reached her waist. Two silver white eyes that matched her white hair as she held out a halberd.
Evelyn raised an eyebrow, "Alice?" Evelyn spoke in an almost taken aback tone. "Are you here to fight?" Evelyn asked as she turned fully towards the silver haired duke's daughter.
This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it
There were three different dukes in the stellar empire. The first being duke Lumine, Evelyn's father. The second being duke Sylvia, Alice's father and the third being duchess Astrid.
"No, I'm actually here to have a tea party." Alice glared at Evelyn, her tone dripping with sarcasm as she pointed her silver halberd at Evelyn. She scowled at Evelyn. Evelyn merely met her scowl with a cool expression.
"I see." She said as she conjured a great sword in her right hand and then gripped tightly with her other hand. "Let's do this then."
"Now you're talking my language." Alice sneered as she jumped down from the tree branch she was standing on.
Alice's silver eyes met Evelyn's azure blue eyes and they dashed at each other.
----------------------------------------
Explosion after explosion erupted near Evan as he swerved and dodged expertly the light blasts that were flying in his direction. "Hey sis, don't you think you should dumb down on the intensity?" He yelled over the sound of explosions. Yet his voice was barely audible.
"Shut up!" Amanda shouted as she sent a volley of light blasts towards him. He dodged by jumping up and boosting himself to the right with an explosion of light magic. "Aggressive aren't we? Did you not have your morning tea?"
Amanda's eyes narrowed at him before she took out her rapier and lunged towards him stabbing forward. Evan took out his bladed spear to block her attack. Sparks erupted from the clash as Evan pushed her rapier down to the ground. He smirked before he kicked her in the chest, sending her flying back.
"Well, I think this has gone on long enough. Bye bye~ I'm leaving~" Evan waved hand at Amanda before he jumped to leave. Amanda was about to give chase but a stray ice shard was sent towards her which she was forced to dodge. Evan successfully escaped as he ran as fast as he could away from the centre.
"Damn it! He's escaping." Amanda cursed under her breath before she turned her attention to the chaos in the middle. The intersecting fights created a chaotic scene that resembled a warzone. She blocked a stray arrow before she took a step back. "This is too dangerous. I need to leave or I'll risk getting eliminated..." Amanda ran out of the immediate area taking a different route from Evan's.
"How many points do I have now?" Amanda asked out loud before a blue screen appeared in front of her.
Points: 73
Amanda nodded. While she didn't know what the bare minimum is to get into the royal class, considering that 1 point is equivalent to an elimination. She thought that this high number of points was definitely something...
While Amanda was running. When suddenly, a loud explosion froze her in her place as the ground in front of her erupts up into a column of dust.
Out of the dust walked a short, brown haired girl with grassy greens for eyes. She broke out into a fit of coughs as she steadied herself. When the brown haired girl's eyes met Amanda's they stared at each other for a moment.
Before the girl took a fighting stance, using her bare hands which surprised Amanda. Amanda unsheathed her rapier pointing it at the girl taking her stance as well. Amanda gritted her teeth. She needs to engage in a fight then... There was no other solution.
"Alright, here I go..." The brown haired girl said in a high pitched voice before she lunged at Amanda, disappearing in the blink of an eye and appearing in front of her, already throwing a punch in her direction.
Amanda, panicked and startled, swung with her rapier and managed to meet the blow head on by sheer luck. Her blade clashed against the other girl's fist and to her utter shock. The girl barely even flinched, she did seem shocked, but shocked that Amanda managed to block her strike and not at the pain that was supposed to be there.
Amanda gritted her teeth and kicked at the ground, jumping back, creating distance between them. "What the hell are her hands made of...?" She gritted through her teeth. "You must be someone important... What's your name? You managed to block my strike, so I at least have to know your name." The brown haired girl asked raising an eyebrow.
Amanda paused. Her expression morphing from shock to bewilderment in sheer moments. "How do you not know who..." She shook her head before narrowing her eyes at the girl opposite her. "My name is Amanda Stellar." She said, prompting an intrigued expression from the brown haired girl.
"The princess," The girl's eyebrows raised as she whistled, "didn't expect to see you here." A wide grin spread across her face. "Well, no matter." She shifted her stance, lowering the base of her body and extending a foot out front along with a hand. "My name is Suzan Terras. You can call me Suzi." All before she jumped forward at high speeds, her fist flying in the air.
However, Amanda was prepared. She swerved out of the way, however... Then she winced, a small cut appearing on her side. All around Suzi's fist, a silver aura that roughly resembled a claw. Amanda's eyes widened as she finally saw the mana coating. She swiftly countered while Suzi was still in that same position. She swung her rapier down on her.
Suzi spun around, catching the rapier in her hand which was covered in that same aura. She attempted to swing at Amanda while her weapon was seized.
Amanda gritted her teeth and pointed a finger at Suzi before 5 balls of pure light appeared behind Amanda and shot at Suzi. Suzi's eyes widened and she covered her face with her clawed hands, successfully protecting herself but giving Amanda enough time to kick Suzi away.
"You're tough. I'll let you have it Amanda." Suzi spoke. She was ready to jump at Amanda however a sudden large fireball descended on the two forcing them to run away in the same direction. They didn't make it far though before the fireball exploded and sent the two hurling away in the air.
