2: Only Hundred Passed. You Are Kidding Right?

 I found myself in a forest, I heard creepy sounds coming from all over. I wonder what ability could do this. Putting us all in domes which had different things inside. Probably creation ability like Oliver's. Ignoring this I moved deeper into the forest searching for my target. Without warning a tiger beast flew on me and I hastily jumped back to avoid the claws. This was a tiger bird monster.

"You are in my way. Die!"

Increasing my speed I dashed to the beast and sent a speed punch (I increase the time of the momentum of my punch to make it heavier). The beast howled but survived the punch.

"Impossible." No one had ever survived that punch before. I mean the people I fought against. I found myself flying up and crashing on the floor. This was bad, how strong was this beast. If this was how a G rank was strong, how about the higher ranks.

[ Oliver came across a dragon python beast. It had the head of a dragon but from neck downwards was a python's tail. "I don't want to hurt anyone. Be gone." The beast didn't listen to Oliver as it swung its tail and smashed Oliver to a rock. Oliver was still calm. He began to walk away when the beast struck again. But Oliver had vanished. He appeared in the sky and punched the beast sending its head away from it's body. "I warned you, didn't I?"

He kept on moving deeper into the forest until the watch in his wrist glowed and he was teleported to another arena.

"One person has crushed a G rank, he is now in another arena.

Well done Oliver Munro."

A voice spoke up from a speaker to all of them.

In Commander Laura Office.

"That Oliver eh, he didn't even use his ability." Laura observed.

"Yes mam, only one punch destroyed that G rank. Agustin replied. He had a glint in his eyes. Some of the students were strong after all. He had gotten his eyes on Oliver. "Run a scan of him, I don't know, he is giving me the jibbies."

It was no secret that Laura could sense massive power in a person, this Oliver was making her afraid.

"But it is when we enroll them that we scan them." Agustin replied trying to make her follow the law.

"Nobody is telling and besides I am the commander here, just do it."

"Yes mam." Agustin became despondent, he hoped the supreme commander didn't find out and make him lose his job.

 The tests were all completed with Oliver killing all his foes without using his abilities. Soon they were all gathered together. They were less than they were before. ]

I was happy to see Oliver and Natasha. It was a great surprise when I heard Oliver being the first to defeat his beast. We fought against G to D ranks. I struggled against the D which was the last beast I will fight but I managed to win. It was a hard win. I was still in awe at how reduced we had become. Then I heard a female voice from the speakers again.

"Congratulations on passing the entrance tests new heroes. As you will see, you are reduced. Yes. Out of the one thousand registered students, only you hundred passed." I gasped. "Only hundred passed, this is a joke. You are kidding right?" I asked no one in particular. "Okay that will be all for today. You will find in that watch on your wrists a function which states teleport. The school signature has been recorded. Those who failed will have no access to the school and they will be under close supervision. They have the chance to go to another hero Academy in another city. And remember do not tell anyone about your hero identity. That will be all. See you all tomorrow. And I am the commander of this school."

I met with Oliver and Natasha. "Hey, let's walk home together." We moved out of the school looking at the city we were going to be protecting. "I can't wait to become a full fledged hero, we will get cool hero names, we will also go on missions among others." Natasha babbled and I chuckled. Oliver was silent throughout the journey. "Come on Oliver, we are friends. Talk to us." Natasha moaned. He grunted and left us alone. "Do not worry Nat, it's only a matter of time. Once he remembers his powers, he will remember us.

I hope he does."
