Exams 3

The person hiding behind the tree jumped off and slammed at the ground slightly, knocking off my balance, although not enough. But just enough to make me falter and allow him to get close up to me. He was crouched down below me, so I kneed him in the face.

Sending him flying farther back. I turned around the one I injured had made off, injured I'd hunt her down later. I walked up to the boy I kneed in the chin. He put his hand out. "Swooosh!!"! A large gust of wind blew me away towards a tree. I put my legs out and kicked off of the tree, but by the time I got back to where I was, he was gone.

I need to sleep. Finding an enormous tree, I took some leaves and a rock and made a semi-comfortable pillow. Halo became visible again and slept on the other side of the large plate-like tree with me.

I immediately fell asleep. Waking up in the morning, my neck was sore. I hadn't woken up too late the sun wasn't even out yet but was just peeking over the, horizon giving everything a nice tinge of calmness.

"Halo, get up and turn invisible please," I said, waking Halo up. Halo turned invisible, and I hopped off of the tree. Hearing a bunch of disturbance, I went towards it to hopefully knock somebody out and end this faster and easier.

Finding a clearing of cut-down trees that looked like a wild rampage went on, I saw the cause of it all. It was a boy with blue hair and crazed eyes with long sharp blades as hands. Was chasing a boy with black hair and a blue uniform. Hearing a bloodcurdling scream from the blue-haired boy, "YOU WON'T GET AWAY IM THE PREDATOR!!!!!!!!!!!"

He screamed maniacally. I hope that the other kid will be fine. Turning around, I did nothing. I don't want half the forest to be camping behind a tree waiting for me to become tired then defeat me. Turning around, a shadowy figure that was getting increasingly more close came towards me. I jumped towards them with my blue sword out. The figure that was jumping towards me saw me. I saw they were wearing a black uniform they were from my school

"Hell NO!" they yelled and blitzed out of my sight. ?

I'm confused. I am kind of popular with my school for being stronger than all the others. Maybe that's why I haven't come across anybody from Relix. Still, near the crazed maniac, I sat down on the tree, swinging my legs as there was no one else near me. Eventually, the black-haired boy got away. But then the boy whipped right around and we made eye contact.

This will be irritating. "I SEE YOU!!!" Putting my battle face on, I would not run from him. Giving myself less of a hard time I just jumped right from the tree with my sword out. Creating a cloud of dust upon impact, I used that as cover to get right into his face. His reaction time is amazing. As soon as he saw me coming towards him, he put his sword right behind me, intending to knock me out by getting a deep cut on my back.

But I ducked low and swept his legs while he was tripping over his swords almost hit my face but I barely dodged and got a cut right into my eyebrow. Limiting my sight. I wiped my eye, but it kept bleeding. He probably used Hacht with his sword to make sure his cuts stay. I walked up to him to knock him out by giving him a solid punch to the jaw. But he started waving his hand swords around and I had to back up.

He stood up and used his hand swords as almost crutches to run towards me. "I'm COMING FOR YOU!!!!" He screamed out. I had to make sure he didn't cut down any trees. There was most likely a third party coming towards us right now. He interrupted my thoughts and attacked me with a downward slash right at my face, cutting the hair that was in front of my shoulder instead of behind me relatively short.

And I knew it wouldn't grow back because he used Hacht, so I would have to just get a haircut after this. He interrupted my thoughts again, thrusting his s2word towards me again as I dodged. Then his hand swords disappeared.

Then those same swords jutted out of his chest, stabbing me shallowly in the arm that I put up. My reflexes are great, and I'm thankful I have them. The arm was leaking a lot of blood. I couldn't attack. I didn't want to get hurt.

….. Is this what fear feels like?? I haven't felt it in such a long time. It's exhilarating!!! My heartbeat is in adrenaline. Putting my sword up in guard as his swords immediately turned into hand swords again. I didn't care about being careful. I took full force swings. Cutting down trees in my wake. "YES YES!!! THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!!!" His pupils were red.

(2/6ths snowflake slash) Six simultaneous slashes are enough to turn someone into chunks. I only want to cut off two of his swords. "What THE FU-" He felt the impeding sense of defeat coming for him. I could see it in his eyes as I focused. That's what I want to see in his eyes.

The fear of defeat, the fear of losing the fear of de- no, I need to snap out of it.

Cutting both hand swords halves off, he screams in pain and fell over with his eyes rolled completely back.

Was that a relapse?

I didn't know I could relapse weird. It might be dangerous for me to continue in a competition like this. I ran into the forest area where the trees hadn't been cut down by the blue-haired maniac to avoid getting teamed up. I was still healing from that last fight. I need water. There had been a waterfall near me this entire time, but I had been ignoring it to fight.

Going towards the waterfall, I made sure no one was around so I could finally get a rest. Sitting down at the edge of the waterfall's pond, I put my hand in it and drank merrily. It tasted nice and cold. Standing up, I turned around and saw another person there. "Hey! Hey! I just want some water, alright? No reason to attack me!"

The black-haired boy that had been being chased around said in fear. I nodded and let him pass without issue. "So uh you're from Relix academy, huh?" "Yes I am, and you're from Locket academy."

"I have a question." He said calmly. "How did it feel when your school was attacked?" My eyes widened hearing that question. I looked down. He started waving his hands in the air. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable or anything. I'm sorry if you're not ready to talk about it. I was being insensitive."

I waved the situation off and didn't want to answer the question. I turned around and walked away. Walking into the shadowy forest, I realized that about twenty people were sitting near the waterfall as a kind of mutually safe spot.

It's around noon now and it's time for me to hunt for more food or just find some berries. I found an entire tree of perfect-looking orange fruit. Jumping up, I picked three, and at them, they tasted tangy with an almost tangible sweetness that kicked in and smelled perfectly with a consistency like more solid jello.

It was scrumptious. I shook the tree and ate more, deciding to make the tree my home base as it was a consistent source of food and was near the waterfall, a consistent source of water. All I needed for this entire retreat. Hopefully, there were fewer people inside of the forest now. I know Leona Brian Raimy and Tenner are most definitely all still in the run of winning.

After all, they are some of the strongest people in the entire academy, excluding the teachers, of course. Sitting on the large tree, I sat on it just swinging my legs from above the great view since the tree was incredibly tall even tally than the other gigantic trees in the forest.

All the trees had a large placate-like top that you could easily sleep on. So I kicked back and relaxed and let my nerves settle down and let my thoughts wander all over the place.

So I really can relapse. Was I addicted to violence and to seeing fear in others? Am I insane? Not once have I ever heard of addiction to seeing fear distraught and pain in another's eyes. Maybe I need a therapist.

So I can talk to somebody about my worries, get professional help, and maybe some anti-depressant meds for my depressive episodes. Yeah, some professional help sounds good, like something I need.

I sat on the tree for hours. Nobody came and bothered me, and there were no sounds of battle at the top. But it was lonely. I want to fight.

I want to see fea-

No, no, no, I can't relapse like that, having no sympathy, no empathy for another's life. Even if they wronged me, I should at least be conflicted with taking another's life. But going into the military, I'm afraid I'll revert to what I once was back right after Kyla's death. I was a mess of a person. My mind was in a mess. My room was a mess, even my health was a mess.

I was killing people left and right. I even tortured that one guy. I cut off students' arms even during a mission where there was supposed to be no actual extreme violence. I was cocky and had no sense of empathy.

If I could, I would go back in time and give my past self a beat-down for all the things I did.

And I truly regret those things… I think. There's a part of me a part that loves anarchy and fear it gave me exhilaration and that's bad I know what's wrong and what's right now and how to show empathy sympathy and how to give love and regret my decisions I'm not an emotionless machine anymore when fighting I'm my person, not somebody watching a movie

Like a spectator as my body kills and dishes out pain.
