Chapter 6: Preparations

Jayce looks around the room to find anything that catches his eye while Leola is still trying to form any words. A girl who is extremely nervous looking at the screen. She has round green eyes that are like two pools of stagnant water. Her luxurious, straight, chocolate-colored hair is worn in a style that reminds you of the aurora borealis. She has a very slim build. Her skin is light-colored. Her wardrobe is complicated and flattering, with a lot of gray.

Jayce stares at this person while ignoring Leola finally getting words out of her mouth and tries to speak to him. He covers his mouth with one hand, his other arm around his stomach due to the pain.

Jayce looks around waiting for the test to go by, Leola is trying to get his attention by poking him to death. Jayce finally gives her attention and she does a little smile and is clearly irritated about something.

She asks him

“ So who is that girl you're staring at while ignoring me?”

As she clenches her fist and throws a punch at Jayce's Arm. Jayce flinching after getting hit by Leola tries to defend himself.

“HEY Stop, Listen she just looks extremely nervous and seems really scared so it caught my attention.”

As Leola stares daggers into Jayce, he quickly looks away nervously.

[2 Hours Later]

As the Exam is finally over, all classes head back to their buses. Everyone is silent and still in a bit of shock of what happened at today's exam. Slowly all the kids start talking among themselves wondering who did the best and it was obvious who it was.

Jayce is meditating on the bus next to Leola and is trying his best to recover his internal injuries by using his talent to try and repair them.

They arrive at school and go and collect their things as it is the end of the day. Ariel waits outside to pick up Jayce and they leave together in her car.

They arrive home an hour later, Ariel having a few questions for him “So when did you become like that? Did it have to do with the accident when you were at the hospital?”

“Yes, it was and I grew a lot stronger because of that.”

“I understand now, still that can't also be the only reason you became stronger because you were not allowed to tra-.” She stops and looks at Jayce. Jayce smiles and immediately runs to his room, he locks his door and tries to meditate while his sister tells him to open the door.

As he is meditating he was able to fully recover his body and slowly gets up from the floor, the door a few seconds later as a large hole in it, with Ariel’s arm is through it and used both her hands to make the hole a lot large and then she slowly enters the room saying his name.

“Jayce, so explain to me why you locked the door and ran away from me.” she said angrily.

Jayce stares at her and tries to run away but fails horribly. Loud screaming can be heard as night turns to day.

[The next day]

Jayce gets dropped off at school by his sister who is still clearly upset. Jayce goes to his classroom and all of his classmates are there and there's another important announcement that needs to be made.

The teacher enters the classroom and with a book in hand she proceeds to say

“Hello students, today will be another eventful day as yesterday. As you all pass the exam you all get to advance into another classroom however, due to large gaps in experience and combat ability only some are able to go into today's activity. Jayce, Leola, Alex, Gabriel, and Frank you all will be able to go into a dungeon with a professional and be rated inside the dungeon depending on how you do, you can come to school temporary and be able to do dungeons on your own or with a team.”

The teacher writes things down in the book and tells everyone else to leave the room and follow Adam who is waiting outside.

As everyone leaves the room one by one except the ones called. A woman enters a room, this girl has narrow green eyes that are like two pools of stagnant water. Her silky, wavy, brown hair is worn in a style that reminds you of a shark's fin. She is very short and has an thin build. Her skin is pale. She has high cheekbones and thin lips. Her wardrobe is completely white and green. The lady then introduces herself.

“The name’s Ivy, I will be accompanying you today in a low rank dungeon, and be grading you all. I wish you all luck.” She says while smiling

As everyone stares, everyone starts to get nervous since this will be the 1st time they will see a live monster and be in a dungeon. The only one that is calm is Jayce and just looks around slightly disappointed.

As everyone gets up and follows Ivy out of the classroom, a single student is waiting for them outside of the classroom. They all head outside a gated area behind the school where an armored van is waiting for them outside. As they get near the Van door opens with weapons and body armor inside.

“Pick your weapon of choice and get body protection that will fit and be the most comfortable for you.” Ivy says

As everyone goes near the van and starts picking weapons, Jayce looks at the weapons and sees a sword that he likes a katana, and grabs light armor. Leola Picks up gauntlets and starts shadow boxing to see if they are comfortable.

“Ok it seems everyone is ready and got their gear, let's go and see if you guys can handle a dungeon. Once we get there, rules would be established and everyone must follow them. And if not then you will automatically fail.” Ivy says smiling and points at a short bus
