Chapter 6

Louis smiled slightly, it's easier than I thought. "I will go first," Louis said as he prepared himself. Jack nodded and cleared the area, both he and the children watched on the side as he said, "Go on then."

Louis nodded and started to form something, Louis had made a big hammer about half his size made of ice before starting to bash down the walls of dirt.

It took him several minutes to get through a single wall, and the more he went on he realized that the material for each wall was different, getting harder and harder to break. It took him nearly an hour to break the fifth and final wall, heaving and sweating he disregarded his hands that were shaking.

Before him was the dummy that he had to deal a deadly blow to. The dummies on the training ground were built to be like a human, save for the facial features. Louis formed another tool with ice, a small but sharp shard. Stabbing into the dummy's neck, the dummy started to spray Louis with fake blood that soon froze over.

Jack was surprised when Louis finally collapsed gasping after stabbing the dummy with a shard, he had never intended for any student to go past three walls let alone reach the dummy, the class time had to be extended due to Louis' actions but Jack approved of the boy's efforts.

Soon after Louis had collapsed from exhaustion the other students started on their own dummies, as expected the other students hadn't been able to pass through three walls, except two.

One of them was Augustus who managed to take down the fourth wall before he too fell down gasping for breath, in his hands were flickers of electricity.

The other was Arthur, who breezed through the first three walls before eventually reaching the dummy. Shoving his hand into the dummy, the dummy glowed red before melting down.

Jack graded the children and found out that the two that managed to reach the dummies were twins, marking them both with 18 points, adding an extra point to Louis who had gone first. Augustus was marked with 13 points, three points for each wall and due to the slight damage he caused on the fifth, he was awarded another.

Due to all the children being in a state of severe exhaustion they were allowed to rest in class. Jack left, to soon return with a ranking list, on the top was Louis, followed by his brother Arthur, into Augustus.

Louis had no care for anyone else other than the top three and didn't bother to read the rest of the names.
