BXBX NOVEL Chapter 16 End Of Entrance Examination
POV Ares ~
After my fight with Livia I sat on the ground with a tired face as most of my mana was depleted but soon I heard the sound of someone fighting not so far away from me and only metal sounds could be heard, so I decided to check it out...
As I arrived near the sounds of metal clashing each other, I saw \'Lucas Eugene\' and \'Ziona Madlock fighting fiercely with each other and \'Ayla Eugene\' using her support magic on Lucas as if to give Lucas an upper hand in his fight.
I stood far away from their fight as my condition was nowhere near fighting both of them at once and most importantly I didn\'t have my sword with me which was destroyed by that Livia bitch, I shook my head and thought to myself...
After a few minutes of continuous fighting, I saw both \'Lucas\' and \'Ziona\' tired and covered in bruises all over their body,
"There didn\'t seem to be much time left before the end of the examination" I muttered to myself and decided to make my move...
I saw both Lucas and Ziona rushing toward each other with their weapons and was about clash again.
Finding this as an opportunity I covered myself in the electricity and rushed towards them at high speed leaving only a blue trail behind me and attacked Lucas\'s face with my icy arm,
They both were so engrossed in their fight that they couldn\'t even see me sneaking on them nor sense my presence, even if they weren\'t engrossed in their fight that wouldn\'t make much of a difference...
As soon as my punch connected with Lucas\'s face he was sent flying with a shocked and disbelieving expression, same was for Ziona who saw Lucas disappear from her attack range and attacked the empty air...
\'Tsk\' i clicked my tongue seeing Lucas still alive and saw Ayla rushing towards him shouting his name with a shocked expression,
I don\'t know the correct reason for her sudden rage which made her beautiful face distorted, but I ignored her and rushed towards Ayla who was approaching Lucas defenselessly, and attacked her with my icy arm, as my punch landed on the side of her ribcage I saw her petite body sent flying,
As my punch connected to her ribcage she was already eliminated without even knowing what hit her... while her flying body soon turned into particles...
Since Ayla is the support magic user she needs someone to protect her constantly as she supports them from the back, and what happens when there is no one to protect her?
Death, that\'s what happens...
Seeing Ayla eliminate Lucas\'s face distorted in shock and rage as he shouted,
\'Aylaaaa\' in a melodramatic voice...
Dude, she didn\'t die for real but was only eliminated I thought to myself inwardly seeing the familiar scene, but someone died that day and my reaction was much worse than his...
I shook my head to come out of my thoughts and saw my right arm which was covered in ice that I was using as a weapon, was now completely broken with shattered bones which made me unable to lift it, seeing that I sighed loudly and tilted my head towards the sky and closed my eyes and a small smile crept on my face...,

Third Person POV ~
Seeing Ares ignoring them made Lucas and Ziona enraged and their faces distorted, they both rushed towards Ares pointing their weapons towards him from both sides, but as soon as their weapons were inches away from piercing him, they saw Ares grinning widely while just standing still with his eyes closed and his head tilted up,
They both were shocked and couldn\'t comprehend this situation but soon they heard a beep sound which made them realize something...
Even before their weapons touched Ares\'s neck, they were all teleported back to the same white room from which they entered the magical space, which indicated the end of the entrance examination as the time given to them was completed...
Ares, Lucas, and Ziona were the last surviving candidates, whole white room was empty as all the eliminated candidates already left somewhere except one who just came out of her deaths backlash after getting eliminated and was waiting for Lucas,
The one who was waiting was Ayla Eugene twin sister of Lucas Eugene...
Ziona, Lucas, and Ayla was glaring at Ares with enraged expression but the professor beckoned them to exit the white room from a door that appeared out of nowhere,
"Guess I am quite lucky, huh!" Ares muttered while smirking before leaving the white room, which made Ziona\'s and Lucas\'s faces ever more distorted but soon they followed behind him,
As soon as they exited the white room they were in front of the huge stadium with a fully occupied audience, beside them were the candidates that were eliminated early and in the center, there was a large holographic screen in which the fight between Lucas and Ziona could be seen and everyone in the crowd was holding their breath while watching it as if engrossed in the fight...
"There was a delay in the broadcast huh? You all will be disappointed in the end" Ares muttered to himself with a mischievous smile on his face.
The door from which they entered the stadium disappeared behind them and loud and wild cheering could be heard all around the stadium as on the screen Ares had been attacked by Ziona and Lucas from both sides and he seemed to be given up on resisting while his head tilted towards the sky could be seen but to there disappointment before even Ziona\'s sword and Lucas\'s spear pierces his neck, they all disappeared as if teleported and soon the screen was focused on Ziona, Lucas, Ayla, and Ares who just arrived...
The crowd shouted in disappointment,
"Nooooooooo...!!!" and boos could be heard all around the arena...
"They want to see me dead that badly?" Ares muttered with an awkward smile,
Soon the results can already be seen on the stadium\'s scoreboard and all the other participants that were eliminated early were already checking them out,
As Ares was checking his score without any expression on his face, many participants were in shock and were in awe while some were glaring at him in disdain, And Ares didn\'t have to think much as he knew the ones who are glaring at him disdainfully were the ones he decapitated...
Soon the announcer announced the end of the entrance examination and the Vice-dean announced the results verbally, which simply wasn\'t needed as everyone could see the scoreboard,
The Results were as follows:-
Rank 1: Ares Von Rothstaylor 57 points
Rank 2: Livia Frostine 39 points
Rank 3: Ziona Madlock 32 points
Rank 4: Lucas Eugene 29 points
Rank 5: Diana Eliora 28 points
Rank 6: Claude Valdemar 25 points
...
...
...
And so on
"This year\'s entrance examination has broken the all-time high score one candidate could get, the previous highest score from a single candidate was 35 points and now that score was surpassed by not one but two candidates....."
And so on, the Vice-dean gave a huge ass speech again which wasn\'t important to Ares so he ignored and soon round of applause could be heard throughout the stadium,
There weren\'t any other extravagant celebrations as soon as the Vice-dean announced the date of the written examination which will be held the day after tomorrow and ended his speech...
The written examination will only have 10 questions and each question will allow you to get 1 point which isn\'t of much importance to the candidates with good scores in the entrance examination,
The score from the written examination will be added to the entrance examination and then the final scores will be announced after all the addition, and the top 40 high-scoring candidates will be allowed to enter the Special class...
Ares can feel glares from all around him but he ignored everyone and left the stadium as there was nothing much left to do there and returned to his temporary allotted room,
