Itekan woke up in a white room, he looked to his left and saw itoyea still sleeping.
"Ohh, you're awake now, that good, you were almost late for the entrance exams, I was just coming to wake you both" a woman in her fifties said entering the room.
"Where are we?, where's kutote!?" Itekan asked looking around.
"Kutote?, you're other friend, he left already, though he was in a worse shape than the rest of y'all when he brought u here"
Itekan thought back on the attack, that could have gone much worse, if he or itoyea had not been there kutote would have been dead by now, who are those guys by the way, and why are they after kutote, itekan thought to himself as he got off the bed.
Itoyea opened his eyes to itekan shaking him.
" Hey, itoyea we gotta go we're late for the exam" itekan said softly.
"?" Itoyea still sleepy didn't respond then immediately shot up for the bed.
" We're late!!" He shouted getting off the bed.
" Thats what I was telling ya" itekan said as he came off.
" Cool your bloods tigers, your uniforms are in those locker with your former cloths at least what's left of them" the middle aged nurse said pointing at a cabinet, itekan and itoyea rushed there to get changed.
***
A few minutes later they got to a field with nearly 1000 people there, itekan scanned around looking for kutote.
" Who are you looking for? " Itoyea asked.
" Kutote and the other guys from the cart" Itekan replied.
Itoyea nodded and started looking through the crowd too.
Bwkh!!
A sound resonated throughout the field, everyone stopped what they were doing and tried locating the sounds origin.
" Hey everyone!" a voice boomed, " the physical exam is about to start be quite and listen while I explain the rules" the voice said.
" The physical exam, has three parts, the first is a free for all, there are monster all around the test site, those with 15 points when the test ends pass. You can get points by several means, the first is by killing monsters, each of these monsters give 1 point, you can also get points by rescuing other candidates, 1 point as well, however you can also steal other candidates points, so be careful who you rescue, hehe.
This exam is specifically to cut down the number of students by 50%" he said.
Gasps and voices of displeasure boomed round the field.
"... By fifty percent that's not too bad"
" Fifty, I hope I make the cut!"
" Quiet!!, the second part of the exam is in pairs, and is a capture the flag game, there are safe zones for each team, and one person would leave to capture the flags of other teams, the other person must not leave their safe zones no matter what, leaving your safe zone would disqualify that team and their total flags would be randomly dispersed." The voice said.
Again the people there started murmuring.
" To win each team must have a total of 5 flags" the voice said, " the last part of the physical exam would be explained to those who make the cut, alright we're starting now, any questions?"
" What happens if team mate dies?" A boy next to itekan and itoyea asked.
" Nobody would die, there are instructors would ensure that no fight out of hand."
" How are we disqualified in the free for all?" another asked
" Well if you quit, or are beaten so badly and an instructor is forced to intervene, or you attack intentionally with the aim to kill, you will be disqualified, now enough talk!, see you in the other side " the voice said and immediately they started glowing.
Itekan held up his hand as it glowed and disappeared, he smiled excited, the he along with the thousand plus candidates vanished.
***
They were in a forest, after the examiner had finished talking they'd been transported to another location, the forest that covered the north eastern part of Four Stars Academy.
The boy ran he was being chased by two others who had teamed up the moment they arrived.
" Wisterna !!" A voice said behind him and a flow of water hit him flat on the back causing him to slip and fall, one of his pursuers stopped in front of him smiling terribly, he was missing a tooth and had a bad smell.
" Got him Basthee" he chirped.
" Nice shot" the one called Basthee said, reaching them, he was equally terribly looking, he had a scar on his face and doned a black durak. He stepped forward squatting down in front of the kid who backed up.
" The instructor said we just had to not attack with the intent to kill, that leaves a pretty wide margin in as to what we can do..." He said smiling, he rose his hand above the kids face.
" Recen...." He was interrupted by a sigh he looked up immediately to see a person on the tree branch above him.
" That is unnecessary!" He said his face shroudled in darkness.
" Who are you? " Basthee called out.
" My name, my name is Binturu Binturu of the Binturu clan and you all are my foes" Binturu said his eyes gleaming in the darkness.
