Next day at Hansen Sword Training Centre.

Zack and his classmates were all waiting for Ms Adeline Key's arrival.

I hope the content of this test will be new and challenging. Zack sighed in the heart. As he looked around and found the familiar faces of his classmates. They all seemed fine. Except for Maria Frazier and Candace Wilkerson. They don't seem to be rather excited nor nervous. He mumbled to himself, " What's with those two?".

The Twins and the Marcus Moore seemed to be rather too much excited. especially, Marcus, He is behaving like He is already been placed in the Advanced Class. As he was immersed in his thoughts.

"Ding" The training room door opened.

Ms Adeline Key came. As she found all of us are looking at her. She smiled.

"I believe all of you are ready for the Advanced Combat test," She asked. To that few of us nodded immediately. Seeing that she said, "Follow me".

Zack and his classmates followed her behind.

Ms Key exited the classroom. Soon they came across the lift on the floor. Ms key scanned her I.D the lift door opened. She entered the lift followed by Zack and his classmates.

Ms key placed her fingerprint for monitor scanning. The Fingerprint was successfully verified. Then she typed some secret code and pressed enter.

Zack and his classmates were unable to see. Due to the small barrier created by Ms key.

Suddenly the lift started to move downwards.

After reaching the highly fortified and secluded place in the underground.

Ms key then used her I.D and fingerprint scanning to exit the place. Zack was surprised in the heart. I never would have thought in my life. If I didn't see this with my own eyes that there is a secret facility in the underground.

Maria Frazier and Candace Wilkerson had an unfazed look. Like everything happened within their calculation. There is no surprise element in it. The twins had a surprising glint in their eyes. But their facial expression remains unchanged.

Marcus Moore on the other hand excitingly asked, " Wow, Mentor What is this place? is there any special training facility built here?".

Hearing that everyone perked their ears waiting for Ms Key's response including Zack.

Ms key laughed and said, " You will find out soon". As she reached the end of the corridor.

She gestured us to get ready. There is nothing at end of the corridor. We are facing the wall. Zack mumbled a little, " What's she doing?".

"Ding" a sound ran through the wall. The wall which I was facing. Soon became clear to my eyes. "Illusion," one of the twins said. Hearing that I was really surprised. Everyone looked at the wall, now it is replaced with a metal door. which is approximately 8ft tall.

Terrifying technology. Imagine what would happen if you face your enemies here. You will never know the real reason for your death.

Ms key again scanned her details and entered the room. Followed by Zack and his classmates.

Suddenly. Unified gasped sounded by everyone as they witness a magnificent arena fortified by the glass. Which is completely enclosed by a dome-like structure. everyone had their mouth wide open.

Zack's heart starts to beat faster. As he realized something. So much of me being confident. yesterday, uncle James reminded me not to be complacent. Zack thought. I guess this arena was built for battle. I did not know what Ms Adeline Key is thinking. As he was immersed in his thoughts.

Ms key said seriously, "Get ready, Your Advance combat test will be conducted in this arena".

Hearing that everyone one of us had new nervousness all over them. We were all fine moment ago. Zack decided to ask as he kept looking at the arena and said, " Ms key, who will be our opponents?".

Marcus Moore smirked and interjected, "We will be fighting among ourselves. Am I right? Mentor, he gave provocative look to Zack".

What a dumb ass, if it's a fighting challenge among ourselves there is no need to come down here, especially since the arena looked rather fortified. Zack laughed internally thinking that.

Maria Frazier shakes her head disapprovingly. Hearing Marcus Moore answers she had an annoyed look on her face.

Meanwhile. Ms Key looks at the control room. She received a message indicating Advance combat test can be started. Then she looked at her students and said. "Alright, Everyone listens carefully; The arena had a two-door Entry and opposite Exit door".

She explained, " You will be considered as Clearing the Advance test once you exited from the opposite door; Top 2 decided by overall stats of your performance"

And one more thing she said, "You are allowed to use your real weapon; For individual privacy, the arena will be completely enclosed; so that no one can witness your battle performance including management. All data we want will be collected by A. I and Top 2 results also calculated by it; So, don't hold back your cards, No one will pry you".

Everyone had worry kept over their face.

Ms Key said, "Ms Maria Frazier, You are the first one to compete"

As everyone saw the Maria Frazier name displayed on A. I monitor's screen from the control room.

Ms key said, " Once you exit from the door, It will lead to the discussion hall. Everyone will wait there. Once the test was completed. I will come there and announce the result".historical

Hearing that everyone nodded.

Ms Maria Frazier moved forward and entered the door. Soon dome-like structures started to cover the entire arena. Nothing can be seen outside.

As everyone immersed in their thoughts. Zack found a nearby seat and quietly waiting for his turn. Seeing that everyone found their places.

Ms Key sending messages from her Scifi-Watch to Someone.

"I will be monitoring the situation from the Control room". Ms key said to everyone and left.

Meanwhile in the arena.

Maria Frazier entered the arena. She looked upwards. The arena is completely enclosed. There is an exit door opposite but it's not open yet. She looked around the arena and found nothing. Soon she found something there is an "X" mark placed in the centre of the platform.

"Ding" A sound rang through the entire arena. From the "X" mark. A door opened, A huge cage came upwards. Inside the Cage, there is a huge Dark Wolf type Class 1 monster that starts howling. It has A. I belt around his neck.

"Ha Ha, Father was right. Hansen Sword Centre had tamed Class 1 monsters here in this Underground facility. They use this Class 1 Monsters to have their students to gain their first blood kill". Maria mumbled herself.

It's a distant relative species of Class Monster Grant Wolf. It's completely covered with black skin. Glowing Dark Red Eyes. Equipped with an arrow-like tail and killer fangs. This Class Monster is a complete Night creature. Made to hunt down its prey. It usually dwells in forests and is very rare to be found in Broadway light.

Finally, she realised something this one is male. less intellectual than females. No wonder they captured it. As Maria Frazier keenly observed the Class 1 Monster.

The door was opened. The wolf saw Maria standing in front of him. Sensing the familiar scent of his human opponents. The wolf's eyes turned to blood red. It started to rage and leap forward against Maria.

Maria finally took out her weapon from her storage ring. Which is Blue Colour Short Sword. The Sword's blade was shaped like glass. Had a beautiful aura around it.

Seeing this wolf coming towards her. Maria moved backwards. She moved the short sword towards her right to attack it. As the Wolf came near the range of Maria. The belt around his neck started to vibe.

The wolf stopped suddenly and moved back to its original position. It howled in pain. Seeing that Maria was surprised. Look like that belt is restricting its movements. It can not move past certain areas around the " X "

Mark. The exit door is just behind the "X" Mark. She thought. Either I have to kill it and exit the door or I have to fool it.

"No, I will kill it completely," Maria said to herself.

The wolf's pain seemed to be lessened. It walked around the "X" Mark. Sensing the range the belt stopped sending signals. The Wolf circles the "X" mark. Seeing Maria Frazier unscathed. Its eyes were blood red, the pain also made it crazier. The wolf opened its mouth. It wanted to tear down the human with its razor-sharp teeth brutally.

Seeing the Wolf remained in the range.

Let's, Attack it from here. She thought.

"Aqua Sphere" She yelled. She formed a huge water sphere from both of her hands. The water ball is completely dense with water elements is now suspended in the air.

This Water element attack technique was gifted by my father. The attack power is very little in the early stages. But you can flood your opponents with this water attack in later stages. I hope it can somehow slow down the monster.
