The Exams: Fire Berserker

'I might just kill your lousy step parents, making you a double orphan .'

Those words replayed in Adrian's head, infuriating him beyond anything one could imagine.

"What did you just say?"

Adrian stood up to his feet abruptly, ignoring whatever pain he was feeling. The wrath he felt  was so visible in his eyes it terrified Ted.

"Oh! that got to you."Ted smiled, regaining his composure.

"Well if you want to hear it again, I said I will ki..." Adrian grabbed his jaw with his arm lifting him into the air like  some weightless feather.

"I'll kill you!" Adrian's voice sounded hoarse and grim.

*Boom!*

Adrian subconsciously released a very terrifying  fiery dominance ( An aura of fire + killing intent) .  The pressure it exerted was so strong it cracked the floor of the ring and rumbled the barrier, startling everyone.

Thick red hot flames swirled round Adrian. The flames engulfed him and about forty percent of the the ring.

Ted could barely withstand the heat Adrian emitted. The floor beneath them was scorched red hot; almost on the verge of turning to magma.

Ted couldn't tell if his mind was playing a trick on him but he saw  a single horn protruding from the  left side of Adrian's head, his eyes were now orange in colour, like fiery coal. His skin had a slight reddish tone to it and  the once chopped of arm had regrown completely as if it had never been chopped of in the first place.

The effects of his dominance was so powerful that the audience felt the heat and pressure, despite being separated by a barrier. They could barely see what was going on in the ring due to the massive  swirling flames in the ring.

Ted had things worse of, he was literally being cooked alive by the hellish flames. He felt a surging amount of fear he had never experienced in his life and seeeing a horn on Adrian's head made him wet his pants.

The hand Adrian held his jaw with, had burnt very deep into his face. Adrian's hands were on the verge of touching his raw jaw bone, almost every iota of flesh had been completely obliterated by  the heat from his hands.

"Look at me!" Adrian's voice sounded inhuman.

"I said look at me!" Adrian applied more force, denting Ted's jaw bone.

*Ahhhhhh!*

Ted wailed in pain. His screams were so loud it terrified the audience.

"Stop whatever is going on now!" The principal ordered two of his trusted personal escorts.

They both dived into the ring immediately, after a slight opening was created for them to pass by whoever erected and controlled the barrier.

Adrian immediately noticed their presence and tossed Ted to the side like a piece of rag.

"More humans!" He said facing both soldiers, his voice sounding more inhuman.

The soldiers could now clearly see Adrian's appearance. The horn on his head, the colour of his eyes, he looked so inhuman.

"D-d-demon!!" One of the personal escorts exclaimed.

"We'll finish you of, you freak of nature!"

Both men exerted their killing intent on Adrian, but it had no effect on him. This startled both men as they were supposed to be  leagues above Adrian in strength.

"Puny humans." Adrian chuckled in an evil manner.

Adrian appeared right in front of both men, instantly grabbing them by the neck. His movements we're so fast, they hadn't even realized he had moved.

He lifted both men into the air like he had did with Ted. They both struggled with every ounce of strength within them, but Adrian's hands didn't show the slightest sign of bulging.

"Your so frail!" Adrian knocked both men unconscious and tossed them aside.

"Ahhhh!"Adrian yawned.

"I think my time is up." Adrian spoke in an inhuman tone. Immediately he finished speaking the last word, the monstrous power from him disappeared without a  trace.

The swirling flame had ceased, finally granting the audience visibility.

They stared at the ring in shock. The ground was completely charred  black due to intensity of  the flames. On the floor lay four unconscious bodies, Ted,  both of the principal personal escorts, and the host who stayed inside the barrier to serve as an umpire.

"What happened???" Adrian suddenly asked as if regained consciousness.

"Oh! My arm is back." He flexed the new regrown arm as if he was getting acustomed to it.

Instinctively, he turned around only to find four unconscious persons in the ring and the ground burnt to a crisp.

"Holy shit." Adrian instinctively jumped back.

"What the hell, who did this?" Adrian genuinely asked himself.

He walked over to the bodies and inspected them one by one . He recognized the host but not the other men.

He walked over to Ted and flipped him over.

"Ohhh shit!!" Adrian exclaimed when he looked at burn inTed's face.

'This shit is gonna last forever. Damn!!' Adrian thought to himself, subconsciously giggling.

The crowd watched from above in silence. Every looked intently into the ring watching Adrian. Most even wondered how he had regrown his chopped of arm and how he taken down that number of people despite being labeled an F-rank Fire wielder.

"Adrian, Adrian!!"Alexis and Ryan ran into the ring almost immediately.

"Hey guys." Adrian  casually replied.

"Ummm, do you guys know what happened here??" Adrian

asked them genuinely.

Both boys halted their steps  abruptly. Alexis and Ryan then exchanged glances before looking at Adrian.

"Let me get this straight, you are trying to tell me you don't know who did this?" Ryan asked, with utmost disbelief.

"Would ask if I knew?" Adrian noticed his friends awkward behavior.

"You fucking did this!" Alexis said outrightly.

"You've gotta be kidding right, come on buddy tell me who really did it."

"You did this, and it's no joke. Look around you, look at their faces." Alexis pointed to the silent crowd.

Adrian looked at the audience. He could see fear and disbelief  in their eyes.

"Mr Kane!!" Mr Winston jumped into the ring.

*Bam!*

He landed on the ground. His facial expressions looked calm and collected as always.

"You will be coming with me." He said in a neutral tone.

"Why???"

Mr Winston looked at him in  a confuse manner."Are you trying to feign ignorance??" Mr Winston asked, squinting his eyes.

"I don't understand you guys, your all being weird. First of all, this guys are telling me I knocked out those dudes and now you want to take me somewhere with telling me why??"

"All would be explained later on!"

"B-b-but , at least I need to see my parents." Adrian stuttered.

"There will be time for that later, you need to come with me first!" He placed his hands on Adrian's shoulder.

"Let's go!" He said again, this time it sounded more like an order.
