Finally, the day of the exam has come. The last week was only filled with training, and nothing else. However, this training taught them a lot, so they were all glad to have trained together. After all, they could have been put in a shitty group with shitty people.
Even Leo and Elisa who didn't see the point in training at the beginning felt grateful toward Kye because of how much he wanted to do well in the exam.
Humans had a different way of training than Angels and Demons. While the latter was stronger and could endure harsh training, the former was less resistant, and so their training had to be adjusted. However, the quality of their training didn't drop in the slightest. On the contrary, it was way more efficient than what Angels and Demons were doing.
They knew how a body worked, and so they trained accordingly. They didn't train too much because it could have negative consequences on their bodies, nor did they forget to rest to be at their top the next days.
As for those so-called superior beings, they only trained like a beast. They were so used to be stronger than others and were so full of themselves that they forgot how to train well.
So Leo and Elisa were happy to have come among the human race because alongside their missions, they could learn a lot from them as well, and the most important thing that they learned was to be humble.
Unfortunately, not everyone could share their happiness.
Kye and his friends were delighted when they could take a glimpse of their revenge on Maria and John the other day. However, almost a week passed, and they didn't see them again.
It could be normal in an academy where there were so many students. But they didn't believe in that in the slightest.
They went multiple times to the place where Maria used to walk before curfew. But they didn't see her again. John as well seemed to have disappeared.
It was as if they were staying in their rooms all day. And since the class was suspended for the week, they could stay as long as they wanted to in their room.
But the silver lining in this situation was that They couldn't train in the slightest for the exam.
Not that they would have trained a lot in the first place. They were so full of themselves that they wouldn't even dare to train. Especially if they were teamed with trash.
And in reality, their teams were good. They weren't the highest level, but they didn't have any low levels either. However, it wasn't enough for Maria and John. For them, they had to be with the cream of the cream. So they would have skipped training no matter what with the team they were in.
There was also Azul in the lot. Since that day, he was sending a deadly glare at them as if they had done something bad.
But in the end, they just played with the rules. It wasn't as if they had done something bad. Just a little spar between students couldn't lead to anything. There were fights every day. So it was a completely normal thing to do.
And so did the week pass. And the D-day came. The day of the exam.
But strangely enough, it wasn't Madison who did the presentation of the tournament, but a beautiful woman. Silky blond hair and jewel-like blue eyes. She was so beautiful that all the boys opened their jaws in awe.
They were used to Madison's beautiful appearance, but this woman was breathtaking. She was so beautiful that everyone was in a daze.
"Hello everyone, my name is Tarica, I'm a new teacher here, and I will help you from now on with your training because your professor Madison will have to go away for a while. And thus I'll take on her duty starting today.
"I've heard that you all have an exam this whole week. It's a tournament like an exam, right?" She asked the person behind her, who was none other than Azul.
The latter didn't know why, but he had the impression that Tarica had a great grudge against her. He didn't understand why since he just met her today, but he was sure of his feeling.
"Yes, that's right. They are all with their teams right now."
"That's good. You are all so diligent. I'm proud of all of you" She smiled slightly, making everyone gasp in shock because of her beauty. "Then let me explain a little bit how the tournament will proceed.
"As you might all know, a tournament is quite easy to understand. Two teams will fight each other. The winner will go to the next stage, while the loser will have to wait for the next tournament. The first tournament will gather all the winner of their fights, until the last team stand. As for the second tournament, it will gather all those who lost in the first tournament, and there, a second winner will be chosen, who will have the opportunity to fight the winning team on the last day of the exam.
"You don't have to worry about your grades either. Even if you lose in the first round of the first tournament, and the same thing happens during the second tournament, you will still be able to get good grades, as long as your teamwork is good or even your decision-making.
Tarica smiled. But it seemed way colder than the one she did earlier. Everyone present felt a chill run down their spine.
But those who felt the most threatened were those surrounding Kye. And while everyone shudders, Kye felt a strange feeling inside of him. As if something dormant was slowly waking up.
