Test #3

Andrie's P.O.V

I slowly rose up.

"Hey! Are you okay sis!?"

"No..."

They all surrounded me. "What's wrong!?".

'"Are you hurt!?"

"Do you feel sick!?"

I put a hand on my head and threw it back and closed my eyes. "My head.....my poor poor head...I need more rest...." I opened one eye. They were so worried. I'm perfectly fine...

"Go back to sleep....don't overwork yourself. Class starts in a few hours...okay...."

"Where are the other five?"

"They left."

Finally.....

I just went back to sleep. They woke me up soon after...I got ready and we went to class. I took my seat and put down my head.

"At least she's back to normal...."

"Still.....Andrie...please don't sleep for this class at least....."

"Why?"

"Because...the leader of the school instructed this class do the unsurpassed test."

"I'm listening for a little bit...speak quickly." I left my head down.

"As I said. We have a task for all of you."

"It is going to be very difficult. If you separate or aren't careful enough you can loose your life completely."

I rose my head. "So, if I'm correct....you're sending my little sister.....and my friends.....on a suicide mission?" I seethed.

'She does care for us after all!"

"I-It's not up to us, we too were shocked!"

"The mission is, you nine will be sent to another realm. One full of danger."

"Your memories will be completely wiped. You will know the basics like speaking, eating and walking. You will basically be on level 1. You'll have to learn how to adapt to that world. Yes, you can use your magic but you'll have to learn."

"And you cannot back out.....doesn't matter how long it takes. And another thing. The 17 year olds will be 6 years younger, the 16 year olds will be 7 years younger and the only 15 year old will be 8 years younger."

"This is impossible! It's so easy to die!" Nate yelled.

"We won't survive you know! How will we fight!? What kind of a mad leader is this!" Brooke also yelled.

They looked at me. "What...."

"Rely on Andrie....that's what she told us to tell you. I don't know why. She said if she doesn't die you can guarantee you all won't."

Bruh....I'm gonna be 11 with no memories and no knowledge in magic. My sister is going to be 7.....my friends and some of the devils will be 9 and Nate will also be 11. Wow. What kind of a mission will this be. Follow me.....so I've been assigned team captain...

"Okay.....hear this you two. Tell your leader that if my sister or I dies....there will be problems. Big problems. Send us now."

They nodded and sent us to wherever using some kind of crystal.

.

In the realm of Allorium...

My eyes fluttered open. Where am I.....what happened to us.....wait us? I looked around the dark and dank room. I saw eight others. I tried to remember all I can and their names flashed in my head. So my little sister and my friends were put here with me in this.....cell. I was in torn and dirty clothes.

They woke up and looked in my direction. Amira, my sister hopped on me. "I'm scared sister....i don't remember anything...not even my name!' she cried.

'Shh.....don't cry. Your name is Amira." The rest of them looked at me. I pointed at each one and called their names."You're Nate, you're Honey, you're Tom, you're Lilith, you're Saph, you're Brooke and you're Rachel. I'm Andrie. Just listen and follow me okay. We are friends. I'll get us out of here."

I pulled at the lock. "I'll help you." Nate offered. I let him pull it off. The cell gate opened. "Stay behind me and stay quiet."

I had Amira on my back and they stuck close. We stealthily made it out but then an alarm went off.

"The captives in Cell 213 have escaped!"

"Run!!!!" I yelled and pulled Honey and Saph's hands. They were slower. We were stopped in a field like area that was fenced. I could see the exit....

The men surrounded us with weapons. Oh no...

"We will blast you with our magic if you don't return with us calmly....."

Magic.....do I have magic? I don't know....hm.....I'll try.

"Protective barrier!" i said aloud with my hands in front of me. One actually formed around us. So I have magic. That helps.

"That little tramp can use magic!? Shoot!"

"Run as fast as you can! Just follow me! Nate, help Saph and Honey!" he nodded and we made a run for it. We got out! We actually got out!!

We continued running and they didn't come after us...we were exhausted and were in an unknown place. "I can use magic and Nate is strong. We can survive for a little while. We need to figure this out.....I think we are orphans, so I won't look for our families." We sat down.

"Okay. I assure you I will try to keep all of you safe okay? So far I know we are orphans and I assume we all have lost our memories?" They nodded.

"I see a village in the distance. Let's go now."

"But...I'm tired..." Lilith said.

"I'll carry you." Nate offered.

She got on his back. "Let's go. Here may not be safe at all."

We hurried to the village and got there quickly. It was filled with people. A stranger approached us. They hid behind Nate and I.

"Hi there....are you guys lost?"

"Yes, where are we?"

"We are in Tora. Where are your parents?"

"We don't have any....."

"Aw....you poor kids....here, take this map and few silver coins."

"Thank you kind lady." We all said.

'No problem." She left.

"What to do now Andrie?" Nate said.

I looked at the map. It had the names of the places written. "Okay...so she said here is Tora. Maybe we can get to that bigger city named Oracle and find out more there."

"Okay."

I counted and we had 25 silver coins. "Here is the plan. Let's get some new clothes and food."

"Sounds good."

We looked around and finally found a clothing store. We went in and the owner I think greeted us.

"Hi there. What can I get you kids?"

"I want new clothes for myself and all my friends. How much will your cheapest clothes cost?"

"Hmm...around 10 silver. But since you look so helpless, I'll give you proper clothes for the same price. Sound like a good deal?" He said.

I nodded and gave him the 10 coins. We changed into the new clothes. "And I'm giving this to you free of charge young lady. It's a face mask. With a pretty face like yours, you won't last."

"Thank you." I put it on and we thanked him again and left. "Now to find a food store..."

"Look, over there!" Tom pointed out. We hurried over and went inside. Smells good...

"Excuse me..."

She turned and looked at me. "Yes?"

"How much does the food cost here....."

"You poor things look hungry...what happened?" She led us away from everyone else.

"I'm guessing you are the ring leader. What happened?"

"I don't really remember. We escaped from captivity and now we're just looking for food and a place to stay."

"Aw.....what are your names."

"I'm Andrie, This is Nate and on my back is my little sister Amira."

"What about you guys?"

"I'm Saph....and she is Honey."

"I'm Brooke, she is Rachel and his name is Tom. The other one is Lilith."

"Hello to you all. I'll give you something to eat and suggest a place where you can go to earn money and train."

We agreed and she treated us to a meal. "I'm Kami Akehi."

"Thank you Kami."

"No problem at all. Now, let me show you to the guild."

We followed behind her and approached a carriage. "Don't be scared, hop on."

I nodded and they followed me. Mira looked out the window as we rode to the location.

"We're here, welcome to the Blueforge guild! Come on, let's go get you signed up."

"Is this safe Andrie...."

"Don't worry you guys. I won't let anything happen to any of you."

"Yea, me either" Nate added.

She led us inside. Everyone turned to face us." They hid behind Nate and I.

"Oh. My.God. They are adorable!!!!!!!Are they new members!?"

"Yes sirie!! Where is master!?"

"She's upstairs."

They surrounded us. "Andrie...we're scared....."

"I don' think they are dangerous."

"Sure right we aren't! And aren't you the most adorable ring leader wearing a mask and everythin'!"

"Come on guys.....you're scaring them. Follow me."

We quickly followed behind her and up the stairs."Yoo! Master! I got some new members here!"

She looked up. "Where are they?"

She moved and revealed us. Her eyes widened and in a split second she was infront of us. "Aren't you nine the cutest!!!? Of course you can join the guild!"

She got some kind of stamp thingie in her hand. "I have to put a symbol on you first though."

I offered to get it first. She put it on my arm. It was a cool looking blue and white lion head. She put it on the others.

"Now, let's see your power levels. Who is going first."

"You go first Saph."

"Okay...."

She touched the orb. "Wow. You have some strong magic power. Next?"

I let all the rest go. Nate was next. He touched it and it started to go crazy as if it wanted to crack.

"Whoa there mister...now that's some serious demon magic...."

He quickly moved his hand. "He is a strong one."

I told Mira to put her hand. The same thing happened but with light. "And your magic is some serious purification....and you're so little. Last but not least I hope. You."

I touched it and it went completely berserk and shattered into a million and one pieces sending a dense force throughout the room. Oh no.....

"Whoa...I've never seen magic power like that in my life...little girl. What's your name?"

'Andrie....."

"Andrie what?"

"Just Andrie...."

"I don't even know what kind of magic. I don't know if it's demon or light...or what in the world it is. It's definitely a mix of the both along with elemental" She began mumbling to herself. "Never has the crystal broken....not even with the most powerful....."

"You can let them group up with the older guild members. Welcome to the Blueforge guild! The best guild in the whole of Oracle city!"

"No need to pair us up with anyone else....Nate and I can do just fine with the others."

'Okay. so I'm assuming you can fight?"

I lied to her. "Yes."

We left and Kami showed the quest board to us. I read it and picked out an easy one. It paid 500 silver coins. "What does it say Andrie?"

"Slay these mini monsters and collect 15 of their feathers. Sounds easy."

"Oh. I forgot to show you. If you say the word statistics or even stats, it will appear in front of you."

I thought about it and I could see others stats.

"Kami....what if someone can see others stats?" I asked her.

"What...you can do that?"

"Yea.....me too." Nate said.

"Well I never. What are my stats?"

"Uh....level 74 Fire magic user."

"Wow....."

All of our stats were on level one. Guess we have to level up.

"Come on you guys! Let's go!"

"Okay, so you're gonna do this quest?"

"Yes."

She took it and soon gave it back to us.

"Be careful. Don't get hurt now. Here, take this armour. I don't wanna loose you guys." We put it on and thanked her.

They followed me out of the guild and I took out the map. "So we are in Oracle city and....Slyward is not too far from here."

They tugged at my clothes.

"What's wrong?"

"We can't fight...."

"Yea, Andrie....we can't fight or use magic."

"Okay. We will look for a place where we can get spell books."

"Hmm...and what about weapons."

"I don't know but I think you can make weapons out of magic."

"Aww....we should have accepted the help."

"Nuh-uh! Come on! Let's go!"

"Yea! I'm sure we will figure it out! Uhh...how are we going to figure it out again Andrie?"

"Um.....read a spell book.....or....hmm..." I looked at my hands. I have magic....

I thought of a simple sword and it appeared in my hand. "See! I don't even need a spell book.....I'm that cool....." I smirked.

"How...did you do that..."

"I thought of the sword and it appeared in my hand...."

"It's not working for us....."

"Wow....I have a sword now!" Nate's eyes glimmered and he held it excitedly in the air.

"See, Nate can do it."

Hmm....I guess the others don't have the ability to make weapons out of thin air. Let me see what kind of magic each of them can wield.

"You guys, stand in a line in front of me."

"Why?"

"Just do it."

Okay...."Rachel, you can use fire magic...., Honey you have...animal magic....huh?" What kinda crazy magic is that....

"What kinda magic do I have?" Nate asked.

"Demon. You have demon magic."

"Cool...."

"What about me!?"

"Um, you have Ice magic Brooke."

"Ice?....hm.....interesting."

"Me next!"

"I thought animal magic was crazy.....but Tom....your magic is the craziest...."

"What is it!?"

"What in the world is gluttony magic!?!?"

The others laughed. "I do like eating...." He mumbled and rubbed his stomach.

I shook my head.

"Saph and Lilith...., you two have the same kind of wind magic."

They looked at each other. "And me?"

"Oh, you have white magic. That's something like support magic....so you can stay on my back."

She nodded. "And what kinda magic do you have?"

"I have no idea...it's a bunch of question marks. Anyways, let's go practice somewhere and get our levels up."

"Let's go!"

We headed to the location and got lost three times.

"You're not good at this Nate.....you said you could lead us in the right direction."

"I can't read the map properly okay....give me a break!"

We turned a corner and arrived at the field. "Oh, we're actually here....."

"Haha! I told you guys I'm a master!"

We all looked at him. "Yea...right."

"Ahh!!!! What is that!!"

A squishy looking blue thing was coming toward us. "What in the world!?"

"Do something Andrie!!!"

"Why me!!?"

I somehow blasted him. "Whoa....what the..." I looked at my hands."Did I do that?'

"Uh-huh...and you're glowing..."

"I leveled up! I'm on level 2! Okay, over there are more squishy things, concentrate and say the words...uh.....fire! And see what happens?"

They spread out and confronted a blue thing on their own. "It's working Andrie! When we say it, it works."

So Nate and I can just think or concentrate and we don't have to say the spells aloud but the others do.

"We're on level 2 also!"

"Yea!"

Hmm.....I wonder if I can read the stats of other creatures. I tried. Oh...so that's a slime.

"Okay! It's a slime! Everyone! Kill the slimes!"

"What about me big sister..."

"What level are you on Mira?"

"2...."

"How? You didn't do anything. Unless when I level up....you level up also. If it's like that, you don't have to fight!"

Nate used a sword and destroyed many of them. I used blasts and the others chants.

"I think we are ready to take on the big birds! I'm on level 8" Nate said.

"I'm on level 6" Saph said.

"So are we..."

"Huh...I'm only on level 9." I pouted. "I guess we can go now."

"Let me lead the way!" Nate took my map.

"No! You're bad at it! I'll do it!"

I took it back. "You're mean..."

He crossed his arms and we left.

"See! We got here so much fast.....er...AHH!!!!!!!" Honey screamed and ran behind me. They all did.

"Guys! Why hide behind me!?"

"You're brave."

"Uh....Nate.....why are you hiding behind me?"

"I'm brave! But I'll be brave behind you for now."

Say what. I rolled my eyes. What kinda madness is this. We were confronted with the big birds. They sure are big for 'mini' monsters.....

"They are so cute....I don't wanna hurt them...."

"Then talk to them! You use animal magic why don't you!" I yelled and pushed her forward.

"Andrie..." She had her two hands balled in fists near her face and shakily walked toward them.

"Just try something...."

They squawked and she ran by me once more. "Uggh...."

I walked up to the bird. Hmm.....it's stats say it's not dangerous.

"Sissy...the bird is fluffy.....Mira wants to touch...."

"Not yet. Hi there Mister bird."

It stopped acting aggressive and came closer tilting it's head to the side. "You're not a mean birdie now are you...." Both Mira and I pet it. "See guys, it is safe....!!!!" I was thrown on its back. "Whoa. That was scary."

It let me down. "Can we have one of your's and your friends's feathers please Mr. Bird?" I asked it.

I turned around and then all of them began to shake and feathers fell off.

"Quick guys!" Uh...yea! I'll make bags! I threw the bags at them.

"Put the feathers in these bags!"

The birds looked at me. There are so many of them. "Thank you Birdies!"

"We got a gajillion feathers!"

"That's too much isn't it?"

"Maybe. Let's head to the quest giver to receive our rewards!"

"But we didn't kill the birds."

"But we did get the feathers...."

"That is true...let's go!"

We ran in the direction that they lived. It's getting dark.

"Wow.....their house is pretty."

I knocked on the door. "Oh hello...and who are you?'

"We're members of the Blueforge guild that accepted your request."

"You brought me the feathers?!" She asked excitedly.

"Ya....but we got plenty more than you asked for."

Her jaw dropped. "How is that possible....those birds are so ferocious. And you little kids got so many feathers....thank you so much! I'll pay you 1000 gold coins instead if you give me all of them!"

"What's the exchange rate between gold and silver?"

"Oh...you're a smart girl now aren't you? 1 gold coin is equal to 10 silver coins."

"It's a deal."

I kept 10 of the feathers and gave her all the rest.

"We got like 10,000 coins now! We're rich!!!!!"

"Yea we are!"

We headed back to the guild. "They have returned!"

Kami confronted us. "Did you guys do the quest?"

"Ya!"

"And the lady gave us plenty more than we worked for!"

"Must be lucky. So was getting those feathers easy?"

"Very...the birds weren't hard to defeat at all. Anyhow....where can we stay to sleep?"

"Umm....the dorms."

"Okay thank you."

As we were walking out we were again confronted.

"Hi there! We're your guild mates! You nine are so adorable!"

"I heard the three of you have great power!"

"Is that true!?"

Nate nudged me. "These people are weird....."

"I know...."

"We must be scaring you all. So sorry.....it's just been a while since kids joined the guild."

"What are your names? I'm Lyca, he is my twin brother Luca, she's Jilly and the one in that corner is Frank. He's a bit quiet.....Well, all these are part of my group."

"Oh.....well, I'm Andrie, next to me here is Nate. On my back is my little sister Amira. And they are, Saph, Honey, Tom, Lilith, Brooke and Rachel. My friends."

"Why do you wear that mask?"

"Hmm....Don't really remember."

"Then take it off Andrie." Saph said.

I took it off. I actually like it. "Oh.My.God....."

Everyone was looking at me. Yeash. I put it back on. "I don't like that much attention...."

"You're....beautiful."

"Heh?"

"Yea...you better keep that mask on....we don't want you getting kidnapped."

Everyone was still staring. I hid behind Nate. "Tell them to stop watching me.....I promise I won't take off my mask again."

"Uhh....okay. But if you think they are staring cause you're ugly, they aren't."

"Whatever. I don't care. Just tell them not to watch me."

"Please stop....Andrie doesn't like much attention."

"Aww...you two are the cutest.....you're one lucky young man."

What the heck are they taking about.....

"Let's get outta here...."

"Good idea."

We walked slowly away then bolted.

"What weirdos...."

"I know right."

"Those people are scary big sis."
