Monday finally arrived, making everyone anxious about the result of their writing exams. They all wanted to get nice group members to get good grades during the true exam that would begin today. So all students who took the fighting classes, be it in the morning or the afternoon had to come to one of the gymnasiums that were made to hold a lot of students at once.
And it was only 7:30 am, thus everyone was still sleepy.
After thirty minutes had passed, all the students were finally in the gymnasium, waiting for their professors. However, someone they hadn't expected to see came too.
There was a lot of professors for those type of exams. Monsters were dangerous, and to make things as safe as possible, a lot of professors were mobilized. Of course, Madison and Azul, but also other professors who were good at fighting. They needed to protect their students if a problem emerged after all.
And the person who came was the 'headmaster' of this base. "Good morning, everyone. I hope you had a great rest during those last few days because the next three days will be like a living hell for you," He began to talk. "You will all be sent to the planet known as 'Supi'. It's a planet that is owned by the military, so you shouldn't meet any intelligent monsters there. However, this planet is mostly filled with water, and that is why you had to get used to fighting underwater.
"The zone you will have to go to is perfect for first-year students, so you will mostly face low-rank monsters. However, be aware that you will be alone during those three days. Your professors will come to you only if you wish to give up or face a monster so strong that you are unable to fight it. You will also have the access to the city denied, so do not expect to sleep in a comfy bed or get hot water to clean yourself. You will be left in the wild and have to kill as many monsters as possible to get as many points as possible.
"And do not forget that you will be in a team, not alone. So you will have to think about your comrade before doing anything. Every action has consequences, and we won't accept death without a good explanation, is that clear?" He let a glimpse of his killing intent submerging the students to let them know that he was dead serious and wasn't joking. It was a thing that a student died because of their carelessness or because of monsters but if the cause was the other student in the group, then it was completely another matter. "Then, I wish you all good luck," He slowly walked outside the gymnasium after having said that.
It was then Madison who step forward to talk. "We're now going to let you know about your team. As you know, it was based on your result in the writing exams. So don't come and cry to our feet if you don't like your team," She smiled before continuing. "Once you know your team members, you will have to all go to one of the professors behind me, who will in turn take you to Supi. I wish you all good luck once again. And do not forget that you are a team, so put your pride aside and work well together," She then took a paper where all the teams were present with the members' names. "Those whom I call, please do as I said earlier.
"John Marble, Maria Viso, Kye Vermillion, and Suha Roll will be the first team. I must also say congratulation on your perfect score on the writing exams. Hope you will do good for this exam too."
'As I expected, it was impossible to be with one of my friends,' Kye thought as his friends congratulate him on the writing exams, before leaving them to go to his team. 'Well, let's just hope that my teammates aren't some a*sholes.'
Since the gymnasium was very big and Kye was at the very back, he took around five minutes to join his team. And as expected, they all looked at him with disdain the moment they saw the number on his watch. They all thought that they would be teamed up with other high levels. And they were partially right since there was two level 5, was Maria, a curly black hair and eyes girl, 165 centimeters tall, and John, a blond hair and blue eyes boy, 178 centimeters tall, and one level 6 was Suha, a 182 centimeters boy who has brown hair and green eyes.
But the fact that a lowly level 1 was in their team already made their mood turn bad.
"Tch, what a sh*tty way to make teams," John rolled his eyes in disgust.
"I hope he won't slow us down," Suha added.
"Meh, that's impossible. He's level 1, so what do you expect from him?" Maria said. And of course, they all said that when Kye was near them so that he could hear them well.
'Guess the next days will be awful,' Kye thought in annoyance and smiled before saying. "Please take care of me guys," He even extended his hand, only to be left alone. From their eyes, Kye could clearly see that they wouldn't have hesitated if they could spat on this hand of his.
After Kye retracted his hands, they all went toward one of the professors so that the latter could bring them to Supi. Of course, they wouldn't go with a spatial plane or slow things like that. No, a teleporter was better suited for things like that. And since it was instantaneous, it was also a lot faster. And in today's era, everyone used teleporters to go to other planets. It was much safer and faster.
So after the professor bring them to the teleporter room, he crossed the one for Supi, followed closely by the students.
On the other side, all they could see was blue scenery. They were inside a dome-like city that was located underwater. And this dome allowed them to breathe while protecting them against any type of monster's attacks. Of course, the city was huge because a lot of people came here. It was a very touristic planet.
And Kye looked at what was in front of him in awe because it was the first time he saw such beautiful scenery. He could already see some fish outside the dome which was all different from what he could ever expect to see on Earth. Though he couldn't see any monsters, he guessed that it was quite normal since there wouldn't be any monsters that were close to the city.
"*Cough* *Cough*," The professor coughed to attract Kye's attention, making his teammates annoyed. "From now on, you will be left alone. We will only provide you with a single swimming suit, so take care of it.
"After that, you can go wherever you want. You will just have to come back here in three days so that we can bring you back to Earth," He then took a few things from a basket that was near the teleporter point, before giving it to the four students. "Here's your suit. And good luck," He then went back to Earth to continue his accompagnator job.
"Tch, how annoying," Suha said before putting his suit on, quickly followed by the others. "First thing first, who wants to be the leader of the team?" Suha knew that it was important to set rules before going on an expedition. And the first thing to do was to choose a leader.
"You're the highest level among them, so it should be you," Maria immediately answered, followed by a nod from John.
Suha didn't even wait to see Kye's reaction as he continued. "I will be the leader then. Don't act rashly and follow my every command. I want to be first in this exam, so don't slow me down," Suha then nodded to Maria and John, who did the same.
Kye didn't think anything of that since it seems normal to him for them to do that since they were all high level. But before going, Suha said one last thing. "I don't know how you managed to get a full score in the writing exams, but it doesn't mean that you're strong enough to deal with monsters. So stay in the back and don't go in the front," Since he was the leader, even if talking with kye disgusted him, he still had to do his best to keep him healthy, at least until the last day. "We will kill all the monsters, so try to follow us when we will move around, understand?"
"Yes," Kye hesitated to smile, but still did anyway. He didn't want to appear cold to them since it will surely make his situation worse.
