Kand-har ruins

**Adam Walker's POV**

"Attention cadets, as you all know, the mid term field exam is starting" started a silver haired man who calls himself vice principal. I mean, I didn't even know we had one. "Did you know we had a vice principal?" I asked Owen who was beside me. "Sigh, thank God I'm not the only one who doesn't. You know, I've wanted to ask you that ever since the man said he was the vice principal" he said with a smile that said at least I'm not the only one. But anyway back to topic.

Right now, the entire first years were standing in a shuttle port or whatever it's called. With a massive ship docked tens of meters before us. It was so big that I had no qualms it could carry people ten times the number of first years.

"The exam will be taking place on this very planet in a place called 'kand-har ruins'" The silver haired man or vice principal continued. "I suppose you all know the place and it's history?.

"S..s..sir but" a cadet started to speak but was cut off.

"Do not interrupt while I'm speaking" the vice principal thundered. But I could understand the cadet's nervousness as not only him but several cadets were shaking in their boots and they had the right to be. The vice principal was right, everyone knew 'kand-har ruins' and how it got it's name as we were all taught in history class.

The place was originally an immense city floating in the sky or a floating island. It used to be called 'kand-har isle'. But it all changed when the Asuras attacked. It was one of the first places that was attacked in the human federation.

The Asuras massacred over seventy five percent of the isle' population while also damaging the core allowing the isle to float making it to pummel downwards into the ocean it had originally risen from. That said, the isle was abandoned after and it was later renamed 'kand-har ruins'.

That also said, it wasn't because of it's history that the cadets were afraid. Instead, it was said that a few years ago, there have been sightings of asura remenants there. How there could have been remenants when diamond ranked bloodline holders personally eliminated the Asuras there after the isle's crash eludes me.

Or maybe they are new ones coming from elsewhere but that's not possible, unless there's someone helping them, there's no way they could evade the space forces. But that aside, if I'm right, our mid terms exam will be to eliminate those Asuras and right on cue, the vice principal continued.

"I'm sure some of you might have already guessed what the exam will be. That's right, you all will be eliminating the asura remenants" As soon as he said that, as usual the cadets started chattering, some about how they'll destroy those Asuras, though those were mainly cadets in the elite or normal classes. The special class cadets knew the terror of Asuras.

The others were chattering about how it's too absurd' to be fighting asuras while they were just in their first year and how the academy was trying to throw their lives away.

"SILENCE" bellowed the vice principal. "If you have anything to say or cry about, tell that to the Asuras. You'll be dropped right at the edge of the ruins . You may choose to ally with other cadets or go solo. It's your choice.

"You get points by slaying Asuras, all Asuras below gold rank are 100 points

Early gold rank→ 200 points

Mid gold rank→ 300 points

Peak gold rank→ 500 points

And if there are any platinum ranks, just say; 'I give up' and you'll be instantly teleported back here. Of course you can stay but that's if you can kill them of course" he said the last part while glancing at Aurora.

"We're teaming up right?" Owen asked.

"I don't know".

"What do you mean you don't know?" he asked once again but before I could answer,

"Now get on this ship, the exam lasts until every single asura is eliminated" an instructor said. But I didn't care about how long it will last, I had already stocked enough foods and snacks to last me a month and as for clothes, the academy uniform is self cleaning and repairing.

Even though I figured there was no way the exam will last a whole month, with Aurora there, a week is stressing it.

Entering the ship, I was right, it was massive and it comprised of six floors. Though we were only given access to the first and second floors. The normal class cadets were on the first floor, while the elite and special class cadets were on the second floor.

Owen and I found a place to sit and so did others. We sat in silence which was an immense achievement for Owen but a voice broke the sacred silence.

"Young master Owen" raising my head I saw five cadets. Three boys and two girls standing in front of Owen.

"What is it Edward?" Owen asked in a suprisingly authorative voice.

"Nothing, I was wandering if we should team up like the others" the now named Edward said gesturing to a few places. Glancing at where he gestured, I saw a bunch of white hairs around emo dude, cadets with obsidian hair and eyes around Quinn, all the other scions of the great families had their members with them. Whether it was Ashley, Lily or Victor, even Aurora had a bunch of purple haired around her.

I see, so this is about the great families. Owen glanced at me as if asking if I'm good with it, to the dissatisfaction of the Hargreaves cadets. I merely shrugged showing it doesn't matter. Then he nodded back.

"Fine but we're going with Adam here" he said. "As you wish" the Edward guy. So they found seats around us and sat down. Soon it was announced that we've gotten close.The flight took six hours which made me realize how much bigger Jupiter is than earth.

At the speed the ship was moving, we would have circled earth a hundred times over. I saw the isle through the glass. "Beautiful" I couldn't help but comment.
