Ryu looked back and went outside. He took out an apple and started to eat he thought for a second about the test and the place.
The place Bamboo Forest contains a river, a mountain and a beautiful view so why this place it doesn't have any stuff about training.
Ryu finished his apple and he was walking inside the dojo backyards. He sensed a great amount of power.
He said in his mind "Its power was so immense that my hands are shivering!"
Ryu looked back and saw a black long haired girl with a big dragon marked sword on her back. She was also having a pet bird a sparrow. She had the energy of the same level as Mr. Noru now!
Ryu asked Kaito while stuttering "Ka…Kaito? Do you sense the same energy as me?"
Kaito nodded his head and said "Cassandra… A 3rd rank dojo student with a good hand to hand combat skills and great amount of Shadow Energy! She is introverted usually talking to her pet or her teammate. Her duo or her partner is Yosaku Satoshi!"
Ryu was shocked hearing this and he said "Wait! Is she that girl who knocked out Costa! She punched his chest in a hand to hand combat in a rank promotion match. That particular hit on his chest made him get a heart attack. He almost died! Now he is still getting his medications in his home."
Kaito said "Let's move on don't talk about it here."
After a while the master and the students arrived at the place.
The master said "The test will happen now. Students we will start from the person who has the less amount of success rate but we will pick only 5 people at first! Later we will start from high amount of success rate and again! We will choose only 5."
Everyone became tense the murmuring and voices started to rise up. One of them woke and asked "Master! What is our test?"
Master said while smiling "Your test will be of balancing the water buckets and crossing the path without dropping down the bucket! This seems easy right? No! Mr. Noru will be there using a katana to stop you from reaching the other side of the river."
The crowd went silent and the people of the dojo were serious and determined. Then in the crowd a hand got raised. It was Yosaku Satoshi!
Yosaku grabbed the attention of master. Master raised his eyebrow knowing that Yosaku is an intelligent and an unpredictable person.
Master said "Yes! Mr. Satoshi… What's your problem?"
Yosaku became silent for a while. The crowd was looking at Yosaku with a web of questions in their minds.
Yosaku said "Master, we know the rules now but is it allowed to use our weapons in the test? Or can we fight back with the person in front of us?"
Hearing this second question made Mr. Noru furious and he wished to have a One on One combat.
Master replied "Yes! You can use your weapons and your assets but the weapon would be provided by us. Just ask the particular weapon and you will have it. Now, let me tell you all fighting back is legal in the test but injuring the person is not allowed and the person who breaks the rules will be punished!"
Mr. Noru waved his hands and said "Students you all now have to choose a particular paper it will choose your turn of your test. Make a line and please pick your paper."
Now, Kaito and Ryu waited for a while in a long line. They started thinking about the test and the weapons and how are we going to use it.
Now Kaito and Ryu took their papers. Kaito got 47 and Ryu got 34
They both became silent and they went outside the hall and the test was started and the students gathered to the ground and sat down in line.
Master said "Number One! Please take your place."
Number One came with a frightened expression and his hands were trembling furiously.
Number One didn't take any weapons he came barehanded holding the bucket of water in his hands.
Master said "FIGHT!" with a loud enthusiastic voice.
Number One held the bamboo tight with his legs and he broke a part of the bamboo in which he was standing. He threw the piece of bamboo on Mr. Noru and Mr. Noru dodged it and used his katana to cut the buckets in half.
Number One dodged and he came in front of Mr. Noru and he used his Shadow Flower Poison on Mr. Noru by exhaling out the essence of the flower by his mouth.
Mr. Noru punched Number One on his face knocking him out instantly. He fell down and went inside the river with a splash.
Everyone was surprised and the tension increased between the students.
Mr. Noru was in good condition! No sign of sickness or stress. He was just standing on his place and he kept his katana inside his katana sheath.
Number Two came and went out with a splash!
More people came they used many types of abilities and strong tactics but they were not able to pass the fourth bamboo and Mr. Noru.
They came got sliced, punched, thrown, knocked and pierced but they were not able to touch Mr. Noru.
Then the Number Nineteen was called…
Mr. Noru looked here and there no one was there who raised his or hand for number nineteen.
Mr. Noru and the crowd were silent. But Yosaku was behind a large oak tree. He smiled and said "Noru is going to lose this round for real!"
Mr. Noru said "The person may have left the ground I guess lets continue the test."
The crowd was still silent and Noru didn't have any idea what was happening.
Mr. Noru looked back and he saw Number Nineteen was a girl and she was having a katana.
Mr. Noru said "C… Cassandra y… You?" With a surprise expression.
Cassandra said "Welcome to my world Mr. Noru!"
