The first team was Noel and Elaine, her brother, they had one Nemian lion but he was not participating, probably due to some strategy. The team against them, was a three player team, consisting of a gryphon, wolf and the Nemian lion.
The observer of the game, gave the captain's of the teams two flags, with Noel getting the blue one and the other team getting the red one. the observer instructed the team to start the game at the siren, and every and all injury's were allowed, except death, which will result in a heavy penalty. apart from this no other rule is there for the game. After five minutes, the game started, the siren sang.
We were given a screen to see what was going on in the trials.it went to and from between the red and blue team. the game began. There were two teams, with equal chances, or to say at least, it was like a group of hyena hunting a group of deers. It was quite clear what was going on, both teams had different strategies, with, Noels team hunting the other team and the other team going for the flags.
The match went on for 5 minutes 35 secs. Noel's team won by eliminating the entire opposite team. The other team was escorted by the guards, in the direction of portal room. Next up was Issacs's team, they won easily by using the wolf's ability the found the maps and the gryphon collected them, the match was over within minutes.
Next up was my team, uptil now, I have seen the ability of gray and charlotte but I don't know what Alicia can do, I just trusted jack to bring me the best wolf out there. Thus, this will be a great chance, to see what can she do. The match started with out team getting the red flags and the other team getting the blue flags I was not there to know what the strategy was, but according to charlotte this happened.
"Listen up, I have a ability that let's me vanish in the dark, and this is a forest with a lot of shadows so, I will try eliminating the players in the opposite team, whereas, Alicia, can try and find the flags in the mean time. Gray you will be with Alicia guarding her." Charlotte said to the two of them.
"We have got ourselves a plan." Gray said and they all spread out. "So let's get started shall we, Al."
"Yeah" Alicia said closing her eyes.
"What are you doing." Gray said.
"SHhhh." Alicia said concentrating. "Let's go".
"OK but where?"
"Just follow me, will you!" Alicia said sighing.
"Ok fine." Gray said.
"Kyle eliminated" The observer's announced.
"We have to go fast." gray said.
"To your left, there is flag." Alicia said. "100m ahead there is a red flag and a blue flag, destroy the flag."
"Red team, Two flags collected, three remaining, blue team one flag destroyed, one collected." observer said.
"A player is coming our way, be ready to engage." Alicia said.
"How are you doing this." gray said.
"Now... go" Alicia said and the player said.
"Tiger sabre" gray shouted and the man was disqualified.
"Patrick, team blue eliminated." Announcer said.
"Where are the rest" Gray asked.
"Wait a minute, found it." Alicia said."500 m straight. go"
"Ok, you get the others." gray said.
"Team red, captured flags, 4, one remaining, blue team collected flags, 2" Announcer said.
"I guess Charlotte found one too" Gray said.
"100 meters east go, now"
"Okay, okay" Gray said as he went and retrieved the last one.
"Blue team wins this match, time taken 3 minutes." Announcer made the final call.
After our team four more teams made the cut, one of them being May's team. Only one team piqued my interest, this team was one person only, his name was Trevor, his beast was special, so he was allowed to form the fourteenth team. I don't know what the beast is, but I guess, we will eventually find out.
At least now I know my team can hold there own in a battle. after about ten minutes my holochrome flashed a message.
'After first match meet me by the portal of the second trials'
-unknown affiliate.
Jacks friend found me first. Then the announcer came live, with this, the first part of the trials is over, now after 1 hour the second part will begin, until then please rest up.
*******************************at the announcer side*******************************************
"What are you doing, why are you having the first trials in two parts, normally, it would be over by now and they will have started being scouted by affiliates." said a voice behind the black screen.
"It's just that there were too many people this time, normally only only 4 teams pass the test." Announcer said.
"That's true, so what's the second round" the mysterious man asked.
"Don't worry, your watchers will remain entertained." the announcer said, I have something special in mind for this round" The announcer replied.
********************************************************************************************************
"Hey Zack, how did you like the team, huh" Charlotte said to show a little swag in the voice.
"It's good to know you people are able to defend yourself without me." I said smiling. " good work out there Alicia"
"Thanks, cap" she said.
"SO any idea what the next challenge will be" Gray asked.
"Not a clue, but it will not be something easy, my gut tells me" I said.
"Well, we will see I guess." Alicia said.
"Yeah, and in this round I will take part instead of Gray, because most people don't know him as, the camera was focused on you, Alicia." I said, thinking of the next trial.
"Good for me, I guess" Gray said, and went to my bedroom...... to sleep, if I am assuming right.
"Okay, so what's the plan captain." charlotte asked me.
"Well, let's see what the trial is shall we." I said.
"Normally there is only one trial but due to some reason, there are two trials this time." Lily said emerging out of the television room.
"How are you here" Charlotte asked.
"Oh, I asked her to come, along" I said interrupting.
"How do you know about the trials so much" Alicia asked from behind.
"Well let's say, I have cleared the trials, one time." Lily said.
"SO you...a-are a high noblemen?" Alicia asked.
"You can say so." Lily said.
"What is a High noblemen" Charlotte asked asked.
"We read about this, in the library, as we go on completing the trials, we get promoted in the hierarchy, the first is a landlord, and the last is a high noblemen." I said, astonished as to what lily has said about clearing the trials, "I am going to need a minute alone here, with lily please."
"Sure" They both said and left the room.
"When were you going to tell me abut you clearing the trials, is this something, you were going to tell me when it was the right time." I said.
"Oh, calm down, I didn't clear them, I am dragon, so, I have the memories, of my ancestors, and hence it was my mother who completed the trials, not me, you dumbass" Lily said.
"Oh then I am sorry, about, what I said before" I said, "It's just that lately, I think I don't know anything about myself and people use that to their advantage."
"I get what you are going through....." and then their was an announcement by the announcer.
"Its time to start the final round , this time the trial will be monster hunting, as the the next trial will prepare you for being a soldier I want to see if you have the capabilities to fight monsters or not, all you folks have to do is kill a bunch of monsters and the teams which make it to the top four will qualify, and the top two will be given a Prize. The order in which you will participate will be given to you shortly, please wait." He said.
"Let's do this first shall we" I said to lily and got up.
