The Gathering of Clans II

The place where the kids where gathering was a giant platform with an another formation on it, the kids were led into the formation and they had to sit inside and wait until everyone has arrived.

The moment all the kids were in place the formation Master walked up and started speaking, - " This time we will be testing your talents on different fields, for the first test your goal is to survive." as the master finished speaking a giant white light blurred the children's vision, the next moment they were standing in a Snowing Forest, they could feel the cold wind passing by them.

First the most of the kids were panicking and screaming, it became rather chaotic pretty fast, Cyrus got annoyed soo she started walking towards a tree, she climbed on the top of it, and from there she continued watching the rest of the children as they were making a tantrum.. the clever ones followed Cyrus example and climbed on trees.

System where are we?

[Still on the platform, Host is currently in a dream like state]

Soon hours went by and nothing happened, the kids gradually calmed down, groups started to form to survive in the harsh conditions, the strongest ones decided to stick together while the weaker ones were left alone, Dolores also formed her own team and they headed towards the Forest to separate from the rest of the people.

Cyrus on the other hand started breaking the tree branches and making a bed like object on the top of the tree where she could observe what happening around her, seeing that there were no dangers she started reading about the [Third Mark], in the distance Howls of wolfs could be heard once or twice a day, as the days went by the howling became louder and louder until on the 4th day wolf could be circulating around the groups, these scouting wolfs didn't attack anyone they were simply howling to attract the rest of the wolf pack, in less then a few hours the number of wolfs around them became big enough to kill everyone.

[Host there are kids awakening around you]

The unlucky ones who decided to leave the starting area more or less already died, Dolores and her group also run back to the camp after they lost half of their group by confronting the wolfs, she was in a pretty bad shape with giant wounds on her arms and back, she was hatefully glaring at Cyrus who was laying on the tree, but this time she couldn't let it slide, - "How was your little adventure miss Dolores?" asked Cyrus in a sweet voice. Dolores simply humped at her than turned around and left, the rest of the group quickly followed behind her.

The wolf pack stopped being passive and instantly hunted down and killed those who started running, even though the wolves individually weren't that strong in groups they easily beat most of the kid teams, some teams has managed to survive long enough with great leaders and teamwork by hitting the wolves eyes or noses, they could make them retreat and gain time to regroup.

The evening came and once again a white light enveloped the kids, only half of the original group survived this test, most kids had already stood up and left the formation, most of them began to hate Cyrus for not doing anything to help them, he was still inside,

after her vision came back she was sitting at a table above the Forest with an old man who was sipping his tea than said, - " Your quite ruthless aren't you? You didn't helped a single group simply watched them to die… also congratulations you finished the first test according to the rules you gained the [Wolf Dance] , you can decide to continue and bet the [Wolf Dance] for a better Technique or stop here and leave with the [Wolf Dance], the coice is yours." Said the old man.

"I wish to continue!" Said Cyrus.. - " I thought so, your next goal is to kill your opponents." Said the old man than waved his hand and Cyrus disappeared, this time she was alone, she had fancy clothes on and expensive jewels and she appeared on the streets of a city opposite to her were 5 people to her left was a small narrow alley and to her right more people were coming, since she wasn't sure that the additional people were here to help or were also attackers she decided to run into the alley.

Cyrus was perfectly capable of moving inside but the robbers movements were restricted and they could only follow her one by one, the first guy that caught up to Cyrus instantly thrown a punch at her, she blocked the strike by hitting the arm with her palm and than kicked the guy in the nuts, as the guy tried to defend his lower part she attacked his neck with her hands and broke the guy neck the second guy had a harder time getting inside since he had to crawl through his friend body, as he was crawling Cyrus kicked him in the head and knocked out the guy, now 2 guys were in the way, the third guy didn't tried to get closer, he was the biggest in the group, he tried to throw long punches at the girl, Cyrus used the knocked out guy as a meat shield and avoided being hurt, but the knockout out guy wake up from the beating and started throwing up blood at Cyrus, she killed the guy by hitting his mouth and making him drown in his own blood, in the mean time the big guy got rid of the first guy and came into the alley.

The big guy became a bit of problem because Cyrus only could evade his attack but couldn't get closer to him, since the guy was nonstop punching, Cyrus activated her [Dragon Eyes] to observe the guy attack patterns, she realized that after every 3 punches the guy stopped for a few seconds, the next time after the guy thrown the 3 punches she got closer to him and let him hit her arm, because of the double veins she didn't felt any pain and continued moving forward, the moment she arrived in front of the guy, she kicked his stomach and when the guy screamed from pain she threw the jewelry inside his mouth, the guy started choking so she once again hit his head and the guy fell to the floor.

Next the 4th guy came in, he had a knife in his hands and instantly started swimming it towards the little girl without mercy, Cyrus turned her back at the guy, who in response stuck his knife into her spine, but to all his efforts he couldn't pull the knife back, so he let go of the knife, Cyrus than turned around and pulled out the knife with ease and now she was on the attack, but in stead of swinging she skillfully threw the knife towards the guy head, on the guy throat a clear slice could be seen, than blood started spreading out of his neck and died.

The last guy decided to give up, he mentally broke and was crying on the ground wet from his friends blood, as he was looking at Cyrus he was pledging, - "Pleas let me live, I have a family to feed, I.. I only came because they said it will be easy money, I never wanted any of..." before he could finish what he was saying she also killed him, few seconds later the white light came, and she was sitting opposite to the old man again, he was still drinking his tea, - "Fast thinking, you decided besides the alley instead of gambling with the people, also your ruthless traits surfaced once again since u killed the last guy without a second thought" said the old man while thinking.

System how is the numbers?

[Host only third of the kids are still in]

While Cyrus wasn't paying attention the old man given him a scroll named [Left Path], - "I wish to continue" said Cyrus. "I know that already, that's an extra prize for succeeding with the hardest choice" Said the old man while starring at the distant city.

White light enveloped Cyrus and once again she was together with the rest of the kids, this time they were in a room which had a seemingly unending top, the room color was white, but there was nothing else inside.

There was not a single instruction that she could follow, so she walked towards one of the corner of the room and set down there, looking around the number of kids there didn't match the number that the system said, so she assumed that they were waiting for the rest of them.

"Congratulations for all of you who made it this far, for completing this test you will gain a Fighting Technique for sure, now your goal is simple stay still for 3 hours, good luck everyone" Said the old man, the room suddenly became dark, only the breathing of the children could be heard, than hissing of snakes woke up Cyrus, the fact that there were hundreds of snakes around her didn't achieve anything, at the Mark of one hour all snakes has disappeared but it turned worse since now spiders were crawling on the children for the unlucky ones the spider crawled into their ears and making them jump up from the feeling, at the two hour mark the room has lit up once again, the surroundings has changed they were floating above the ground, as she was looking around with her eyes, she could see stone spikes under them, a few moments later they weren't floating anymore instead it became a free fall as they hit the ground they once again were in the white room.

"Congratulations for all of you who made it this far, as promised all of you will get the a Fighting Technique" the man waved his arms and a Technique appeared in Cyrus head, - "Oh yes before we continued there is still one last thing I want to try" said the old man and the room instantly turned into a bloody hell hole where severed bodies were laying all over the place, most of the kids either passed out or started to cry, there were only fifteen kids remaining in the room.

Cyrus was indifferent as usual she was checking out the Technique she just got, it was called [Gateway of the Dragon].
