Trees with black leaves and yellow trunks were housing many monkey like creatures,these creatures had red fur and white faces with long noses,their scelera were red and their pupils were yellow.

  These creatures were vigilantly looking around for prey,they had just gotten rid of a group of students but that wasn't enough for them,they needed more,and more they found.

  7 people had just entered the Forest, immediately upon entering,they all hid behind the trees only occasionally peeking their heads to look for danger,As they were doing that,the creatures were stealthily moving through the trees from both the right and the left,they had positioned themselves for an ambush.

  15 creatures were present altogether,10 on the right and 5 on the left.

  After a while,the creatures had managed to completely surround the group,They were not spotted due to their camouflage abilities and inate talent to hide the presence of their souls,or at least they thought.

  Suddenly, 3 of the creatures were pulled down from the trees by some invisible force,as they were still in the air,a long odachi sliced through one of them , large claws of metal cut another in five pieces,and a black high heel shoe kicked another right in the face, crushing its skull.

  Right afterwards,the three people who performed the attacks were quickly pulled into separate directions,in the next second,the three creatures all exploded, creating loud sounds and tremors in the air.

  Witnessing their leaders deaths,the rest of the creatures went into a frenzy,They jumped down from their positions leaving afterimages behind them,soon after,the creatures which had previously numbered 12,were now in the hundreds.

  "The real ones are those I mark with the number 6."

  The 6 people surrounding Yeonji heard a soft voice in their minds,Soon after,4 rays of red light with red lightning sparks around them flew in direction of the creatures on the right side,4 of the 10 creatures lost their capacity to think momentarily,on the left side,dark purple colored aura manifested around the remaining two creatures and they fell asleep, right afterwards,a youth with white hair dashed forwards to the right with extreme speed, arriving near the creatures,he wasted no time to decapitate two of them before having to fall back as he was attacked by the 6 that were capable of fighting, VanKcrow pretended to slip and was falling down to the ground with only a one handed sword in his left hand,one of the creatures that was on his right side immediately jumped forwards to attack him and simultaneously, another one on the left did the same, before he was struck by the creatures however, VanKcrow manifested "Arsenal" in it's original form and now two blades were on each of his hands, performing a 45 angle slash with both blades, VanKcrow sliced the creatures from their shoulder blade to their hips,

  However,he was now incapable of defending against the attacks of the other four that have closed the distance but before he was caught,A force pulled him back towards the group of students and the creatures failed to attack him.

  Arriving near the group, VanKcrow used Black Rest on the two creatures sleeping in the left.

  Now,only 4 creatures posed a threat,At this time,The seven students split into 4 groups,three of two and one of one.

  Two of the four found themselves paralyzed and were simultaneously sliced by a long odachi while the other two exploded completely leaving barely any of their spiritual flesh, finally,the other two which were about to regain conscience were sliced into half by an odachi and an Montante.

  "Tsk,these creatures are truly annoying."

  "Well,at least we've managed to kill the leaders first, otherwise,we would need to deal with each of them exploding after we kill them..."

  "Don't tell me,I still have PTSD from the previous zone..."

  "Yea,those snowmen kept giving us trouble even after they were dead,If not for that white haired guy,it might have been a lot more troublesome to defeat them."

  Ivory and Gennon were Having a conversation,the two of them were the most talkative members of the team, VanKcrow didn't speak a lot usually,Yakuto seemed to constantly be in a depressed mood, Yeonji couldn't speak unless it was telepathically, Annery seemed to be dwelling on her thoughts and occasionally asked the rest if they were a Scarecrow,Bakari only spoke when it directly involved their performance in the Battle Royale.

  Ivory was the pretty looking youth and Gennon the shifty looking one.

  Yakuto was the depressed looking boy, Yeonji the girl with the white mask and Bakari the dark skinned youth.

  The 7 of them had already been a team for 6 days already,The principal would pause the competitions when night fall arrived and the students and teachers would leave the soul Mundus,the next day after classes,the competitions would resume.

  Tomorrow would be the last day the students would have to reach the area were the Aurora was located,So far, only one group had managed to succeed.

  The one were Anneliese was present, Previously,the Principal had said that only 50 groups could succeed which made a lot of people think that maybe reaching the correct area wouldn't be that hard,turns out,it might be hard for even 20 groups to make it...

  Throughout these days,they had to face countless creatures and weird locations which made it really hard for them to find the right place,turns out the place wasn't actually located in the same "plane" as the rest,but was instead the inner soul Mundus of professor Brahms that they could only reach after a collective of 1000 points.

  They were only capable of figuring this out because of Yeonji,the girl had some sort of strange ability that wasn't an inheritance or anything else, VanKcrow guessed that it probably came from a Soul bind,The girl did have a Hwando type of blade which may be one...

  VanKcrow's group now had a collective of 907 points,They needed a couple more to reach the Mark, for that it was needed to kill other students which they were finding quite difficult,most of them have already been killed by the creatures.

  But fortunately for them,When they stepped into the next zone,a group of 7 students were waiting for them...

  ...

  7 students were gathering around a bonfire, amongst them was a youth with long red hair,an eye patch in his right eye,a sharp

  Left eye with a yellow pupil,a long red cape,a round Golden colored shield,an 8 ft tall spear with a Bronze shaft and golden spearhead.

  The youth looked very similar to the Spartans that existed in Earth,he radiated a fierce aura of heat.

  This youth was called Yakone,Son of the Leader of the Sons of Annarchy,one of the 9 factions that dominate the Ancient Battlefield.

  Yakone was currently in a bad mood,he had just lost the first position in this competition to someone of a rival faction,and the worst part was that it wasn't even his fault,he just ended up being unlucky and didn't find enough enemy students in time,now his group had a collective of 987 points,which meant that only a couple more kills were needed, however,he was struggling to actually find anyone to kill...

  'huh?'

  Suddenly however,his bad mood lightened up a little.

  'finally...'

  ...

  VanKcrow stepped into a zone that resembled a massive colosseum,there were stands with countless statues sitting still,the ground was completely red with dry blood,in the middle of the colosseum,7 people were gathered.

  As VanKcrow was looking at them,they were also looking at him.

  After a couple of seconds in complete silence, Gennon spoke,

  "Well,this is quite the predicament we find ourselves in..."

  "7 people against 7,but that guy just had to be here..."

  Ivory also shared his thoughts,the rest maintained their silence.

  After a while,a tall, muscular youth with an extremely lean and muscular physique and a very handsome face rose up and started walking towards them.

  As VanKcrow saw the youth,he thought back to Annery,the youth before him was like a male version of Her, Extremely handsome with an oddly mature appearance,he was probably around 195 or so cm and radiated a feeling of Heroism.

  Just looking at him made VanKcrow feel a little bit of admiration,he looked just like the heroes from the legends.

  The other people beside him were also not weak either most likely,since they all had high kill counts.

  VanKcrow could spot the dark skinned girl with white hair he had seen before,A princely looking youth with blonde hair and blue eyes,a somewhat overweight youth who still had a lot of muscle and even some definition,he had long curly dark hair and was wearing an attire similar to that of pacific Islanders,a tanned skin youth with shoulder length dark hair,a robust facial structure and large tired looking eyes,he was dressed somewhat similar to Aztecs,A tanned skin youth with curly blonde hair and green eyes who was dressed up in traditional Indian clothing and finally a tall And slender young woman with green eyes and ivory like skin tone who was dressed similar to Arabic females.

  The two groups didn't speak to each other, instead they all started eyeing a particular individual of the enemy side,it seemed they were picking their opponents based on the number above their head.

  And VanKcrow who had the highest number amongst his team,was being stared at by Yakone who was taking calm steps towards him.

  ...

  Up in the sky, almost all the teachers were looking at a colosseum were 14 people were gathered, Levant was quite elated at the moment,but she also felt a little bit ashamed,she previously had not put any trust in her sister Layla,she was certain she would be expelled from the competition.

  And yet,her sister managed to make it all the way to the final days of the battle royale without being expelled.

  'I can't believe it...Well I guess I should gift her something later...'

  "Hey Levant,seems like you were wrong about her after all...tsk,tsk,to think that not even her sister put any faith in her...poor girl..."

  "Would you fuck off already?, I'm tired of listening to your ramblings."

  'why did I have to be stuck here with this cunt...'

  Previously, Levant had purposely tried to avoid ending up in the same area as Zagreb,but the guy just managed to find a spot near her before the teachers started to unite their soul Mundus with the principal's and she couldn't switch places after that...

  His inheritance made him very troublesome to avoid...

  'why does this guy always pester me anyways...'

  After a little bit spent in silence, Zagreb opened his mouth yet again to say,

  "Hey,who do you think wins this professor A?"

  A dark skinned man with a buzz cut answered Zagreb by saying,

  "Well honestly,I don't know, Before I would say whichever team had Yakone,but now,that white haired student has proved himself extremely capable, enough that I think he could be on the same level as Yakone,and as for the rest...They seem pretty evenly matched."

  "Huh,I see,I do wonder tough,where did that kid come from exactly?, I've never heard of anyone like him which is quite perplexing to me..."

  "Well,like the saying goes,there are always crouching tigers and hidden dragons,It's rare for someone not from any famous clan to be that strong,but not impossible...or he may even be a hidden prodigy.

  That ability he showed to transform was truly harrowing,He defeated Yoggot with a single punch to the chest,but I haven't seen him use it since so I wonder if he is capable of using it currently...If he can,I honestly think he will defeat Yakone.If not,then I'm not sure..."

  The principal was very carefully eyeing the battle as well.

  'I see,So many young prodigies, normally this means that tumultuous times are near...'

  ...

  A youth with red hair and a heroic look was currently standing before a youth with white hair and a Skinwalker type of look,Yakone was staring down at VanKcrow with a sharp gaze while VanKcrow was just staring ahead without looking Yakone in the eyes,his eyes were expressionless and he barely seemed like someone about to engage in combat.

  ",I am Yakone of the Sons of Annarchy ,My Honor is Ruin of the fallen stars,I am 17 years of age,And I challenge you to a duel."

  "Alright."
