The Trial Part 1

The entry trial was put in place to help text the students' strength levels,combat skills, ranks, levels, and  abilities.

  " For this test,  you would all be tried  based on your strength  Levels," "the students with the highest test scores would receive rewards at the end of the trials, good luck, " the lead instructor Gerald said.

They were all led into  a simulation room ,where they would undergo their first trial.

The students who already formed cliques were sticking close to each other. At this point, Lydia and Emiera had  separated from Elena.  Elena  was more like a lone wolf. The terrain  of the simulation room was hard and rocky . With  mountains and cave scattered all over.

The student were allowed to carry their inventory devices into the  simulation room. The rules for the strength trial was  simple, it was a survival of the strongest,  the students with the highest point at the end would be rewarded, but they had no knowledge about what they would be going up against.

Every one of them were on high alert. No one wanted to be caught off guard.

Elena was having a conversation with  Dracula.  She wanted to know his thoughts about the current situation.

"Judging by the  mountainous terrain, I would assume whatever creatures you lots would be facing would  either be a goblin or a dwarf. Goblins are low-level intelligent creatures, though tricky they tend to move in groups, the dwarfs on the other hand, are highly intelligent. They are greedy, and they would stop at nothing to protect their treasures.  One thing the goblins and dwarfs have in common is their love for  gold," dracula stated.

   Elena was shocked by this revelation. She had only read about dwarfs in fiction books. She never thought they were really out there in the vast universe. But then again, this past week has taught her humans were not the only race in existence. 

" So what do you suggest I do?." Elena asked.

"If you're going up against a goblin it would be best you  lure  it away from the  others, to kill a goblin you need to be swift and brutal, taking too much time would  only result in the goblin alerting the others in it group, and that would be double trouble for you."

"If  you're going up against a dwarf then... Dracula paused. As if thinking about the best thing to say.

Then what elena asked. "Then let's hope you survive." Dracula said as if he had given up on her survival already.

Hnm , so much for your confidence in turning me into a powerful being, you've already given up on me, tch. Elena  said with an angry expression on her face. Dracula said nothing .

  Outside the simulation room, five  instructors could be seen as well as other assistance watching different big screens that showed  the current locations of each student. They were debating amongst themselves on the students they felt would do better.

At a particular screen a participant was seen running straight into one of the caves, the moment the participant entered the cave , he was surrounded by 10 goblins, they had  different weapons on their hands ranging from rusty daggers to short swords. The participant quickly activated his vampire energy while pulling out his sword from his inventory. His energy completely engulfed his sword, and the sword was glowing with a bright red aura. Seeing this, the goblins moved in to attack  the student, raising a wall of vampire  energy to protect his back and sides, he swung his sword horizontally towards the goblins in front of him, decapitating their head  in one swing. "Three down, seven more to go, he said while turning to his side, creating a small opening from the wall of energy he had erected, from the opening he sent out  attacks  to two of the goblins , who were trying to break down the  energy wall. The attack he used this time was made from his vampire energy. He had used his energy to create two daggers, hauling the daggers through the opening he had made in the wall, he pierced the head of both goblins.  Turning to the other side , he repeated the same move  as before, also killing the goblins without breaking a sweat.

In less than 2 minutes, all 10 goblins were  lying down lifeless on the rocky floor. Moving forward, he saw a rusty chest, which seemed to be what the goblins were protecting. Opening the chest, he saw  a  couple of gold coins.  He kept the gold coins in his inventory,  afterall the instructors never said anything about leaving behind whatever they found.

This participant name was zarath. He was one of the sons from the noble family of Gendli, He was from the 7th city of zastlevania.he had Ashen coloured hair with light freckles on his face.

  The lead instructor  Gerald was already keeping an eye on zarath based on his performance in killing the goblins.

Moving on to another location , some participants were having a hard time fighting off the goblins.  Some were complaining, surprised even that the goblins were real.

They thought whatever creature they would be facing in the simulation room would be nothing more than mere simulations.

Lydia and emiera were doing a wonderful job in killing the goblins. So far, they've both slain a total of 5 goblins each .

At this point, Elena was holding the  claymore in her hands, entering into one of the caves. She could already  see  6 goblins ahead, holding on to their rusty daggers.

Not wanting to draw any attention to herself, She activated the skill "Camouflage", blending in with her environment,  she then activated the skill "blaze". Rushing forward, the winds she produced as a result of her high speed alerted the goblins of her presence.

  they couldn't see her because the skill "Camouflage" practically made her invisible. 

She  slashed her sword downwards, splitting the goblin on the rear in two separate halves. +5 Exp, the system announced.

Seeing their falling comrade  the other goblins were on high alert, shrieking   loudly for help, they called out to their fellow goblins .

Elena could understand this because the system was interpreting the language of the goblins to her. Without stopping, she moved on to the next goblin, slashing it in halves. +5 Exp.

In  less than 20 seconds , she had already slain all six goblins.

Searching around the cave, all she could find were rusty daggers and weapons of low value. At this point, she had already deactivated the Blaze skill. 

She advanced further into the cave.

Back in the   instructors room, Gerald was impressed by the two skills elena had just displayed.  Looking into her file, all he saw was her name. Everything else about her was locked. He was surprised,  as this was the first time he had seen a student whose info was locked ,even for someone of his status.
