Gauging Tests(Part 4)

Once the voice went off, everyone got in a fighting stance. From the opposite side of the box room, two fire cannons were set off but met two water cannons which extinguished them, another water gust came except a shot of fire was in the middle, it hit the fire conjurers on the other team, taking advantage, Darius quickly went along the box walls avoiding any shots of ice coming his way by the opponent team's ice conjurer, Bryton although many were sent at a time, some managed to get too close to his face but ere stopped by gusts of water. He ran along and clawed Bryton's hands-off causing him to shout out in pain. He was stuck this way till the match was over and he could be healed. Darius landed and was immediately shot in the chest by an invisible force, however, Althea had seen the culprit and immediately warped to the position of the hitter and broke his legs. She would have been happy to finish him but had to keep it low. She immediately warped and got two white spores which were automatically transported to the school Corts Space. She was immediately hit by a plant tentacle and pushed back to the wall.

Everyone on her team was shocked, how could he grow tentacles in a box and they seemed to come out of nowhere too. Three arrows were shot at Noah at astonishing speeds, they disappeared and came right behind him landing in his arm since it was too late to react. Noah conjured fire using his other arm and sent them flying towards the shooter, in the next second flames surrounded the boy and he cried out in agony at the scorching temperatures of the flames.

Small swirls of wind started forming among the two water conjurers and formed blows that hit them in the stomach causing them to fall to their knees, the remaining four members of the team were two fire conjurers, a lion enforcer, and a portal summoner. Sebastian quickly caught up and saw that Harry, the portal summoner, was helping the Verdure summoner (plant summoner). The water manipulators, quickly controlled the residue on the floor from the water gusts and set out in shots, the portal summoner avoided them very well and made it to the other team's side and managed to get eight spores. Althea now knew that they were in trouble and didn't want to end up with a low rank so started hiding in the water shots and then warped to the other side where she touched 7 spores. Both teams had teammates who were severely injured but were so close to winning the match.

The last two fire conjurers were taken out by the water shots but the senders of said shots also got injured and burnt badly up to the state that they couldn't hold their ground much longer. The team now consisted of Noah and Althea as the ones who could fight while the opposition only had the portal summoner and the Verdure Summoner.

Noah sent out flames that were directed at the Verdure Summoner but were sadly sucked up by a portal that appeared right behind him and engulfed him in flames. Noah stood there unhinged by the change. The Portal Summoner was hoping to hear screams of agony and pain but instead so flames coming directly at him, he couldn't summon any portals as he had maxed out on manna and instead put the Verdure Conjurer in place of the fires, he did not expect this and ended up getting severely burnt. Taking advantage of the situation, Althea used every single drop of manna she could spare and warped to the other side touching the last white spore.

A loud noise sounded and immediately, they knew that the match was over.

"The match is done, Group 31 wins' the soldier announced as the health sector nurse came and started healing the injured. Althea almost collapsed but held her ground, she was healed of all bruises but needed time to refill on mana. She had been raised to be tough and something like this couldn't break her, she could never allow herself to be in the same situation twice.

Noah on the other hand stood there completely unaffected as he had used soul fire to replenish his stats. Noah had noticed that the spores just disappeared when one touched on them yet that was not originally announced. A soldier came towards the team as soon as they had all been healed. "As you have noticed, the spores did not stay when you touched them, they will be provided to you after the matches but these tests were especially carried out so the military may test your skills and find out which classes will be attained by you. After saying that, he disappeared to say the same information to the other team.

Once everyone had known the current situation, they could finally rejoice for they had won the match all except Noah and Althea who stayed quiet seemingly lost in their thoughts.
