Guardian Of The End

It turns out there was an official gathering happening at the first year arena because all classes were present there with their teachers.

The principal had once again made his appearance. Jason wondered whether this principal even did any work considering that he had time to attend such things.

"All right, that should be the last class. Now that most of you have experienced your first day at the academy, I am going to explain some things that will be happening in the future.

Exactly one month from now on, all of you children will be taking part in something called the trial of fears." Albus announced.

'Is it me or do the teachers look grim?' Jason questioned with a frown.

[ They do look grim. ]

[ You are right, they do look grim. ]

All of the teachers had grim expressions on their faces. Izzy looked like she wanted to argue but remained quiet.

p "This trial will be taken by all of you and those who clear the trial successfully will have to take two more trials, excluding those from the Z class," Albus's eyes fixed on the students from the Z class. "You only have to take the first trial."

"Those who clear these trials will be allowed to enter a special chamber that will strengthen their bodies beyond imagination. I wish you good luck and hope that you can train yourselves in this one month's time."

Just like yesterday, Albus flew out of the arena and left the students standing there. The teachers silently met the eyes of their colleagues before nodding.

"As you heard, you will have to be prepared for the trial. You will need to upgrade your combat skills and learn how to survive on your own," Izzy pointed towards the other classes. "Today, you are going to fight the students from other classes."

"We are going to fight to win the chance to see who will use the arena today?" Mila interrupted.

"Yes, that's what we are going to do," Izzy agreed before flying in the air. "Give your best our first battle is going to be with the B class."

The B class had twenty students in it. Though all of them were less skilled and gifted than the Z class students, they outnumbered them.

"To make this competition fair, three students from class B would be fighting against one student from class Z." The teacher of class B announced.

'Either they are highly overestimating us or those children are too low leveled.'  Jason wondered silently as three children from class B stepped forward.

"Which one of you are interested in going to fight first?" Izzy inquired.

Jason raised his hand since he was getting bored while standing still and doing nothing.

"Jason, right?" The blond-haired teacher confirmed. Jason simply nodded in reply. "Good luck and make sure to not hit any of their vitals."

Jason nodded again and stepped forward. His gaze scanned the three children from class B as he got into a fighting stance.

None of them gave him the aura of experienced fighters which meant that the battle probably wasn't going to last that long.

"The rules of the battle are simple. You just have to hit your opponent once and the match will be over," Class B teacher explained. "You can begin now!"

Jason didn't even give the other party enough time to plan their move. He summoned one lightning bolt in each hand and threw them.

The lightning bolts rushed through the air and hit the two children standing on the sides. The teacher had already noticed his attack and put a shield around the two children.

Jason's lightning bolts vanished when they hit a light blue cover. The remaining child raised his arms in defense but it was too late for him.

Jason had already thrown another lightning bolt. It hit the child in the next second and eliminated his team in less than a minute.

Not only the students but even the teachers were left blinking in surprise.

"What's your age?" the class B teacher questioned.

"Ten," Jason replied with a shrug and went back to stand with his group.

It was the first time he had used his new lightning bolt in a battle and the results had been satisfactory. If he managed to add some more power to it, getting hit by even one such lightning bolt would be deadly.

"You didn't use that during out fight," Amber whispered as Jason came to stand beside her.

"I learned it recently. I will be more than happy to use it against you." Jason replied with a smile.

"Definitely." Amber grinned. It was hard for her to find people her change who could give her a challenge.

Fighting with Jason had been an exhilarating experience for her. She definitely wanted to experience it again but for that to happen, their class would have to win the rest of the battles.

"So… who would like to go next?" Izzy asked slowly. Just by seeing Jason's performance, her evaluation of him reached a whole new level.

"I would like to go next," Amber replied and without waiting for a reply, she moved forward.

Seeing Jason's quick battle had fired up Amber. She was curious to see whether she could beat her opponents in less than a minute too.

When her three opponents stepped forward and the match began, Amber immediately raised her right foot and brought it hard on the ground.

The result shook the entire arena floor as cracks ran below the three children. They were about to fall into a deep hole but one of the teachers was quick at repairing the ground.

"Since you three would have fallen into a hole, you lose…" Class B teacher announced again.

He was left shocked by how quickly his students had been demolished by two of class Z students.

Both of them had made quick work of the other students and had obtained their victories.

"So that was what you were practicing." Jason commented in an impressed tone.

"Pretty cool, right?" Amber grinned and high-fived Jason.

The others however were wondering one single thing.

What kind of monsters had appeared in this year class Z?
