Colloseum 2 [44]

Roughly ten giant platforms floated up to the skies, there might be even more but it's hard to see when your inside a cloud. That sight looked like it came from some alien movie or something, like small ships going to the mother ship. If you were a modern day human, you would probably mistake the platforms as alien space craft.

The ride was free and was open to anyone, the platforms were big but it was flooded with people, luckily there were railings to stop the people from getting accidentally pushed off. The platform automatically docked themselves at the edge of the colloseum. Like balls going down in an upside down cone, the crowds rushed towards the bottom area of the colloseum because the seats there had a much more close view on the stage. The colloseum is big but the empty seats were quickly filled from bottom to top.

At the center of it all there was a large island surrounded by water, it was so big that you could actually place a decently sized kingdom there and still have room to spare. The structural design and the sheer size of the colloseum would make even the best modern day stadiums looked like ants made them.

Sarya was surprised. In fact this was to fast, even for her. She always lived in her town for the majority of her own life and this is her first time actually exploring the world and oh boy she wished that she went out earlier.

The finals are held every year by the graduating students from the school of Samo Ella Academy of magical research. If you were to fail the final examination, you would have to repeat the school year again. There is only a one time repeat and if you fail yet again, you are to be immediately kicked out. The students gave their lives for magic, and if they fail their purposes in life will have no meaning.

The whole kingdom itself is the academy, ruled by a principal instead of a king. The school gives birth powerful magicians to the world but the school isn't one of the best. The world is huge, and there schools that are the sizes of small countries.

Four classes with fifty students each combined into one arena with two hundred students that are about to take the test of a life time. A battle Royale and only the top fifty that were left will be able to graduate. Of course there will be small teams made up of friends and there are bound to be backstabbers and traitors appearing.

The head teacher, a male at his 80's raised his fancy well earned staff to the air. A fire ball shot out from the tip of the staff exploding into a giant cloud of fire and only fire with no smoke. It has begun, the student quickly scattered like ants to group up with their friends. Some hid and some hunted for students, they were instructed to not hold back and go full power if they have too.

All hell broke loose, viewed from a far distance it looked like they were having a party. It was like a large firework festival gone wrong, the beautiful landscape of the island got destroyed, trees burnt, Boulders into pebal, and water turned into ice.

The crowd cheered, the cheers of the people covered the whole arena. But for the students, this was not a thing to be cheered at, their future is at stake here and if they lose, it's pretty much instant game over for them even if they had another chance to redo the whole school year.

"wow.. Look at that" Sarya said

A few hours have passed and the firework show slowly dwindled out and only 51 students remained. Suddenly a screen appeared out of thin air, providing the spectators with a more clearer view of the student faces. Sarya noticed someone memorable, the same short girl that helped Sarya and Kai when they were fighting a strong demon.

(she's that noble kid who helped us.... Back at the desert town)

The girl was with her friends, they looked confident and they had good teamwork. The group wasn't much and it was only composed of five students. however, something was a little off, Suddenly her four friends turned around and pointed their wands at her.

"Sorry Maya dear, atleast you were able to help us" one of her friends said.

"h.. hey, you guys must be joki-

At point blank range, the four simultaneously fired at her face, knocking her unconscious. Her lifeless body fell to the ground. Just a few hundred meters from them Sarya gripped the spectator seat's armrest almost cracking it, she could even crush it to dust but she held her emotions.

(uncool) Sarya thought while she gritted her teeth

The girl helped them, so Sarya felt that she owed her one. She wasn't the only one that was backstabbed during the finals, many circle of friends were cut and shattered.
