The Last Match

 After the boy was taken away for treatment the barrier was charged and repaired. The exam continued nonetheless and the applicants all wondered who possessed such power and the examinees passed and failed one after another as the matches proceeded. The assessor then continued and called the other examinees forward.

 "Pixie Mercury and Dazie Cline"

 They both walked to the battle area and the barrier rose behind them.

 "A cat fight" someone said in amusement

 "This should be good"

 "Yeah I hope it's better than the others"

 "Same bro"

 Since it was the last match those who were watching decided to bet on which girl would win. The girls walked to each other shook hands and walked back to their stance. 

 "Jeez, I don't even want to be here" Pixie said in a complaining voice

 "I change my mind, let me-"

 But before she could finish speaking the assessor said fight and a fist was connected to her side and she was sent tumbling, but with swift movement she was back on her feet as she slide across the floor. Dazie thought she landed a perfect hit, but as her fist was about contact Pixie's body, she covered her body in armor. She then stood up as all her cloths got burnt away as her armor had a liquidize metallic structure call Marqucle 17. Marqucle 17 was a type of metal that harden after a few seconds and burned anything it touches, except for Pixie who was immune to the burns and it couldn't harden on her skin either, she uses it to form her armor, but after deactivating it, it goes back to a liquid state. She then stood up and spoke in a sweet cherry voice. 

 "I only want to forfeit girl. That hit was painful" she said as she held her side and ran her fingers through her hair. Everyone watching was surprised at the site as her Marqucle 17 covered few parts of her body, they were so surprised and was unsure what to do. A few looked away and fought the urge not to look and others covered their faces and left a small opening for opportunities. The assessor looked away as looking on a clothes less underage girl seemed like a crime. The judges cleared their throats and looked away only taking glances at the battle as the needed to watch the fight to grade them.

 "Since you started this, let's finish it" Pixie said as she was ready to end the match.

 She ran in a circle as the Marqucle fell from her body, when she created distance she slid down and got on one knee and formed a gun around one hand, after a few seconds the gun was fully formed. She wasted no time and started firing at Dazie who was agile and very good at dodging. As Pixie fired her Marqucle towards Dazie she dodged it and it then harden as it missed her. Pixie then stopped firing at her and decided to take the fight in close quarters. As the fight continued Dazie was mostly on the defensive, Pixie then left an opening and Dazie realized it and took the opportunity to land a hit, but that was only a trick and as Dazie took the bait Pixie turned her hand into a canon once more and fired at Dazie's foot. Soon after the Marqucle on Dazie's foot harder and she was stuck there as she felt a burning sensation and could only cry out. She felt exhausted and walked over to Dazie before hitting her unconscious, with the match over she was then given four hands and Dazie received two. The assessor then threw a small circular object at Pixie's feet and then some clothes pixilated over her body. It wasn't real clothing, but only an illusion. She then lifted her hand and waved at him.

 "Thank you" she said with her cheerful sweet voice. 

 The assessor only cleared his throat and lowered the barrier as she walked away and forgot all about Dazie, but there was nothing she could do about it. Soon another set of two small robots arrived and poured a substance onto the Marqucle that harden onto Dazie's foot, after it was melted they placed her into a hovering pod and flew off without saying anything. The exam then came to its final end as the last battle was over. In the end only 2 examinees received seven hands, 1 received five and another with four, 5 received three hands and 3 received two hands and the remaining examinees either received one or no hand raise and that was the end of the Combat exam. 

 For all those who failed knew their faith and decided to quit while the others who failed hoped for a miracle. The judges were then picked up and flown off somewhere and the examinees also got picked up was flown to a base where the other applicants were. As they reached there destination they saw a building that was in a square and rectangular shape, as they entered they saw the other examinees that were sitting around grossed in their own conversation. The examinees went in and saw the large cubes that were stacked on one another. Upon arriving they were given a room and food to replenish their strength, they were given meat and supplement pills that provided all the nutrients they needed along with a bottle of water. There rooms were the cubes that were stacked amongst others which provided a sleeping space and a bathroom.

 Lynx and Ash proceeded to their room which was only two rooms away, while most of the examinees were talking Ash decided to stay in his room and so he told Lynx before leaving. Lynx stayed on the stairs as he looked down on the others as they enjoyed one another company. After sometime Ash showered, trained and then slept at 9pm, Lynx on the other hand just stared at the ceiling until he drifted to sleep after showering. 

 The second day of the exam approached and for those who were up early quizzed with their friends and waited for instructions, but unlike everyone else Lynx had nothing to do since he was accepted without taking the second exam like normal people. At 8:00 am the examinees were given instructions before they proceeded to the exam area, they boarded the hovering vehicles and flew off, but before Ash left he told Lynx that he would be back. Everyone was doing there other half of the exam unlike Lynx who was left in the temporary dormitory area. He had nothing to pass time so he tried to activate his armor while he waited. Lynx was trying his hardest to cover one of his hand in armor, but it was to no avail. He started breathing heavily as he forced his body to activate his armor, but still his efforts were of no use. Lynx then got up from the bed and decided to walk around for some time. He walked to the door and lifted a hand to open it, but as his hand was about to make contact with the door he felt his hand dragged back by an overwhelming force and he was slammed into the end of his room. It happened so fast he could hardly figure out what happen. His body then dropped to the floor and he lifted his self up and looked around the room to see what could have pulled him. Lynx couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, but he wanted to leave his room. 

 Lynx then got up and proceeded to the door once more with a little caution. He then lifted his hand once more to open the door and as his hand was about to unlock the door he felt his hand dragged to the ceiling and his back banged into the ceiling, his body was then dragged across the ceiling and then dropped to the floor.

 "What's happening?" he thought as he still didn't understand anything.

 Before he could stand he was once again pulled to the right side of the wall and then back before being released. He frantically looked around, but still there was no one. He then walked up to the wall and tried touching it and nothing happened, he touch all sides of his room and the results were the same, nothing happened. He then walked up to the door and slowly put his hand forward, but the closer his hand got, he felt a force pulling him and so he retreated his hand. Ash told Lynx a lot about bullying and that sometime people from higher ranks would play tricks on them, so Lynx thought his situation was done as some sort of prank. He then decided he would waited until he could be released but until then he had nothing to do. Lynx then sat on his bed and thought meditating might help him. He sat on the bed and tried stabilizing his heart, breathing, while exhaling with his eyes closed. Time ticked by and after some time he felt his body getting lighter by each passing second, Lynx like the feeling as it felt like a burden was lifted from his body and so he continued meditating, all his limbs felt very light and his body slowly felt like it was glowing.

 "That's it" a voice said in a whisper with an echoing sound that racked across Lynx's mind.

 Lynx flung his eyes opened as the sudden voice started him. Instead of looking around he exhaled loaded and proceeded to mediate once more. He did so for half an hour and soon he felt the familiar light sensation throughout his body. Lynx slowly opened his eyes as he peeped through his lashes, when his eyes were fully opened he was left breathless by the most astonishing, breathtaking view that he had ever seen. Lynx looked with wide eyes as he saw a large Robot that stood on the emptiness of the void below. He also saw as the Robot stood in the middle and objects of all matter circular around the Robot as they formed something that looked like an orbit. They were many things orbiting the robot and Lynx stood from a far and watched the scene before him. 

 After few seconds of standing he felt his body slowly being pulled, Lynx looked down and saw that he was standing on a small square surface. Before he could make sense of anything the force pulling his grew stronger and pulled him within the orbit. He couldn't comprehend his situation and thought it was better to figure out things later. He was then forced to parkour within the orbit and multiple came within his path. To Lynx the feeling was too realistic as the last thing he remembered was meditating, but the feeling he was feeling was a bit too real, the rush, adrenaline, the beating of his heart and everything, but the only thing he was concentrating on was not to die.
