Mad

As James began making his way through the forest he suddenly came across two other Disciples that had somehow made it just as far as he had. At first, he had only thought about sparing them a glance before moving on because getting back to his loves was more important but by either luck or misfortune, one of the guys decided to speak up as James passed by.

"You know that James guy we are supposed to go after? I hear that he is in a relationship with Sworn Sword Disciple Cara and even that healer Noel from far away." One of the guys said laughing while looking at the other.

The other man laughed as well before a look of lust fell over his face, "How lucky must one be to end up with two sexy women like that? What I would do to spend the night with those banging bodies. I'd have them bent over screaming all night!" The other guy said laughing once more as his friend agreed with him.

When James heard these words enter his ears he stopped completely. Not even the sound of breathing left his body as he processed the words of the men in front of him. They had not seen him yet but what happened next exposed James' position not only to the men but to all those watching from far away.

"YOU FUCKING DARE YOU PIECES OF SHIT!!!" James screamed in anger as black Qi began raging all over his body. From every pore of James' skin, Qi raged like a wildfire covering him in a black hue similar to an angry demon god.

The two men that had been talking felt the sudden fluctuation and almost fell to their knees from the outburst making them spin around, "W-what? Who's there?!" They shouted as they pulled out their swords clearly feeling the bloodlust within James' Qi.

Out from the dark woods walked James with the Qi radiating off his body with clear anger. Wherever the Qi touched near James began getting sliced into thousands of pieces including a tree beside him that was quickly cut in half.

The closer that James got to the men the more they became afraid until they saw James' face clearly, "H-hey isn't that the guy we are supposed to kill?" One of the men questioned with uncertainty.

The other quickly looked and nodded his head at the other making them gulp but before they could say anything else James rushed toward them like a bullet pulling his sword out, "HE'S TRYING TO KILL US QUICKLY GET READY!" One of the men shouted as James' mind continued to become angrier.

James no longer cared about the men he considered less than trash and quickly swung his sword down onto the first man with all his strength. The Disciple raised his own sword in defense trying to block the attack but the moment James' sword hit the Disciple's they both knew what was going to happen.

'He's dead~'

'OH NO!'

*SLICE*

James' sword cut straight through the Disciple's letting his sword not only through the other person's sword but also the Disciple's body. The blade was covered in so much Qi that the blade cut through like butter cutting the Disciple basically in half before he could even realize his own death.

"NOOO!" The other Disciple shouted in shock as he saw his friend killed right in front of him. Due to both the fear and the shock of the demon in front of him, the Disciple fell backward peeing himself and soiling his clothes completely.

After making sure the Disciple was dead James slowly turned his head toward the remaining one, "It seems I will have to let all this pent-up anger out on you~ How unlucky~" James said with the most demonic smile the Disciple had ever seen in his life, giving him more fear than even the Sect Master.

James then raised his sword pouring his Qi into the runes and activating the ability he had been practicing with Cara and Noel the past few weeks. Blood began rushing out of the dead Disciple's body turning into arrows numbered in the hundreds.

James slowly forced the arrows to move toward the Disciple's body as they shook in fear, "W-WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? WE HAVE DONE NOTHING TO YOU!" The Disciple shouted trying to find any way or key that might change his fate.

At this question, James' face took a turn for the worse. He was no longer smiling. He now had the grim look of a monster looking for blood, "You insulted them. You let the names of my loves leave your filthy fucking mouth. Not even this torture will be enough for your damned soul." James said before he plunged all the arrows into the Disciple mangling his body but still keeping him alive for many hours.

That night the forest echoed with the screams of the Disciple making many of the other test takers unable to sleep as they heard the screams even when they closed their ears. James didn't finish with the Disciple until the late hours of the night when he finally killed him and continued on his way to the middle of the forest.

However, the ripple that James made was much bigger than the anger he unleashed on the other Disciples.

[Back at the sect]

"It seems that the first day of the exam is finally coming to a close." Fourth Elder said with a smile as he took a drink from the cup in front of him. Currently, he was sitting at a filled table with all of the Elders including the Patriarch and the Matriarch who had gotten much healthier in recent days.

In addition, there was a special guest at the table. It was to honor the person who healed the Matriarch, Noel, who was also drinking and eating food. Although she seemed a lot more downcast than her usual self.

"Yes, it do-!" Second Elder began to speak but suddenly everyone in the room felt an overbearing aura crash onto the sect. It felt like it wasn't specifically targeting them but instead coming from the forest.
