Chapter 163 Cheers
Loud cheers reverberated through the large coliseum as every student cheered loudly for the youths being displayed on the screen.
Unlike the tiered family, which had the option to choose what footage they wanted to watch in their booths, the students in the coliseum unfortunately didn't have that option; they all had no choice but to watch whatever was being displayed.
The cheers around the coliseum increased in intensity whenever people saw whoever they were rooting for.
There was currently a huge display on top of all the screens showing the rankings of all the youths taking the test.
The ranking was constantly changing as the youths kept killing more and more beasts. But the top 10 in the ranking remained unchanging.
Below it, there were different screens displaying different live streams of different youths all fighting and defeating magical beasts. The footage of the youths that was displayed depended on the ranking, with only the top 100 being shown.
But out of all these screens, what most of the students were focused on were the 10 largest screens at the top, each of them displaying the live footage of 10 different youths.
On one of these screens, Aurora cut through the air with speed, utilizing her fire element to propel herself through the air.
Over the years, Aurora never neglected her training. Although it wasn't as intense as during the time her father had been training her, Aurora still trained very hard. And during this time, she had been able to level up her bloodline to level two.
Aurora's eyes scanned the area, searching for beasts to kill and gather more points. In just a few seconds, she spotted a reptilian looking beast a few meters away from her right.
Aurora swiftly veered to her right, increasing the intensity of the fire surrounding her legs and arms. She shot at blistering speed towards the beast on the ground. It was an Advanced- rank beast.
The beast swiftly turned its neck in her direction, its grey eyes spotting Aurora. It immediately opened its maw, and almost immediately, a crimson glow started forming. The crimson glow intensified as Aurora's figure neared, and almost instantaneously, it shot at fast speeds towards Aurora's figure in the air.
Reacting immediately, Aurora propelled herself away by releasing a blast from her right leg, then simultaneously, she released another on her left leg, stopping her momentum.
With her entire body coiling like a spring in mid air, Aurora heightened the flames in her hands to unprecedented levels. Suddenly, she unleashed a colossal burst from her legs, propelling herself at supersonic speed toward the looming beast.
The fiery spectacle left a trail of scorching brilliance in its wake as she surged forward.
Before the beast could even react, it suddenly experienced a brutal force on its head, the force was so intense that its head immediately imploded on impact, scattering blood and gore through the air.
Aurora landed on the floor gently. She raised her arm, clicking the artifact and swiftly navigated to the ranking section.
-------------------------------------
| Rank: 5
| Name: Aurora Ravenstein
| Points: 29560
-------------------------------------
As Aurora gazed at her rank, she scrolled upwards, looking for a particular blue eyed boy's name, but was surprised she couldn't find his name at the top.
Aurora frowned. 'Why is he not at the top?' She pondered. Aurora was shocked that Atticus wasn't at the top of the rankings. She knew all too well how powerful that boy was; she doubted if there was currently anyone even in the third year of the academy that could be his match.
She immediately scrolled down attempting to locate his rank, and after a few seconds, she finally found his name but was completely bewildered to see his name in the thousands. "What's happening?" Aurora muttered in confusion.
Clearing her head of all her thoughts, Aurora decided to drop the matter and keep hunting, 'Knowing him, I'm sure he'll turn this around somehow,' she thought as she propelled herself upward through the air, releasing a huge blast and continued moving through the forest.
…
On another screen, a red haired girl was shown. Lila stood nonchalantly as she faced a towering massive beast, more than 5 times her size.
The beast let out a huge roar,
ROAR!!
Its intensity shaking the earth. But Lila simply stood there without a change in expression, just as the beast was about to lunge at her; suddenly, thick green vines shot out from the earth underneath the beast, and before it could react, its entire massive form was wrapped tightly with thick vines making it unable to move an inch.
Lila gazed at the beast coldly, and with a single thought, the vines tightened around the beast, enveloping its limbs and head, and it started pulling in opposite directions.
The beast tried to let out a cry, but the vine surrounding its neck tightened even more obstructing its windpipe, and without missing a beat, all its limbs and head were brutally separated from its torso, a spray of blood painting the forest floor.
Throughout the brutal scene, Lila's expression didn't change. She raised her arm and clicked on her artifact, swiftly navigating to the rankings.
-------------------------------------
| Rank: 8
| Name: Lila Alverian
| Points: 22,690
-------------------------------------
As Lila gazed at the rankings, she noted that Atticus wasn't even close to the top. 'Did he get weak?' Lila pondered.
The only way that could explain why Atticus wasn't at the top was if he was weak.
'I hope I meet him,'
Lila was currently in what she could call her best environment, a forest. Her bloodline was directly linked to plants, what better place could there be for her to fight in. And seeing that Atticus wasn't even in the top ranking could only mean one thing, he was weak. It was the perfect place for her to pay back the humiliation she had gone through years back.
Lila decided to stop thinking and continue her hunt. She stopped viewing the rankings and then with a thought, vines gathered around her feet lifting her up, and she willed them, and they started carrying her through the forest.
