  In a blue leafed forest, Cloud's body laid on the ground and a couple of hivelings were staring at him from afar, each carefully observing him while murmuring to each other.
   "That's him. The one who brought the human leaders to their knees." A male hiveling said.
   "Yeah, that is him." Another male hiveling said.
   "I thought he was a low ranked human?" A female hiveling asked.
   "Does it matter? We should kill him now we have the chance." A female hiveling with a messy red hair suggested.
   "Huh? Kill him?" A green haired male hiveling asked in a surprised manner, "Didn't you learn what he did?"
  "I did, but he is not conscious." The redhead female hiveling replied, "If we are to strike then we should strike him now. We might not get another chance."
 "I'm not sure if that is possible." A blue haired male hiveling said, "For someone the wuzhin technique didn't work on, i doubt our attacks will do anything."
   "Why am i in the midst of spineless toddlers?" A male hiveling with a dual color of black and yellow hair asked with an irritated demeanor, "If talk is all you want to do then you shouldn't be in the battlefield."
   The hiveling walked towards the unconscious Cloud, stretched forth his right hand  and began to charge an energy sphere.
    "They call this human a 'god'?" The hiveling asked while grinning, "He is no god but even if he is one, the gods themselves can fall and I will be the first from my race to kill a-!"
   The hiveling got interrupted as a blazing fang pierced his chest which caught him and the other hivelings off guard. Blood trickled down from the dual colored hiveling's mouth as he staggered back and stared at the fang that had pierced his chest.
   "Huh?" The hiveling said in confusion.
   More blazing fangs instantly pierced him on his chest and made him step back, again; shortly after, two more fangs struck his head  and the hiveling dropped dead on the ground, thus leaving many of the other hivelings dumbfounded. 
  "Look!" A male hiveling said as he points his finger at Karma who happened to be standing afar with crossed arms.
   Killer bee showed up and stood at Karma's side and shortly after, Reiv and several students showed up as well.
   "Oh? It seems there are still more of them." Reiv said.
   "Yeah. That horned man did say we are outnumbered." Killer bee replied.
  "Karma, i told you we need to stay together in this." Killer bee said she glimpsed at Karma, "It doesn't matter how strong you are. It only takes one slip up to die."
   "I'm still pissed." Karma replied with her usual bland demeanor while facing forward, "I waited for the tournament to happen so i can crush my preys but these bastards ruined it for me; that alone was an offense, but they went further… Much further."
   Reiv began to sweat as Karma was discharging a disturbing aura and at the time this was happening, Killer bee's widened as she sights Cloud laying in front of the hivelings.
  "Cloud?" Killer bee said inwardly.
  "After ruining the tournament, these bastards have gulls to discuss on what they are going to do to my prey. My prey!" Karma said.
   Wasting no time, Killer bee stretched forth her hand and creates a portal on the ground Cloud laid on, thus teleporting him in her front. The other students behind Karma walked back in fear while some of the hivelings that were afar stepped back a bit and murmured among themselves.
   "What's with her?" 
  "More like what's with her power?"
  "That's Karma. The last of the Dreygars. They were once the strongest tribe in Agaroth."
  "So this is what a Dreygar feels like." The redhead female hiveling said within herself.
   "You've really, really, gotten on my nerves…" Karma said as she covered her face with her palm.
   "Lessers." Karma said with a deepened voice as her irises glowed at the moment she stroke her hair.
   Karma's menacing aura swiftly formed a dragon whom it's roar shook the environment, striking fear in the hearts of the hivelings.
   Meanwhile in Keigra as the battle between the humans and the forest wolves continued, Cifer was smiling at what he was watching. 
    "This is going better than i expected." Cifer said, "Look at them tearing each other apart. The humans are taking out their anger on the wolves because of their missing children."
  As the forest wolves and humans were fighting, one of the wolves stamped it's right fore paw on the ground which shook it and caused several large vines to spring out of the ground and knock away multiple humans. As soon as this happened, a Graundar man (who was high in the air) created a spiky boulder with his hands and aggressively threw it on the head of the wolf which killed it in the process.
   "Forest wolves are indeed powerful but with the way these humans are fighting, victory will soon be on their side." Cifer said,  "Anyway, no matter how this battle turns out, this was quite entertaining."
    "Is that what this is all about?" A masculine voice asked.
   Cifer swiftly turns around and was immediately held up through the collar by Balog (who was glaring coldly at him).
   "Balog. What do you think you are doing?" Cifer asked while smiling.
   "I should be asking you the same thing." Balog replied, "Sending forest wolves to attack Keigra wasn't part of master's plan."
   "Oh, Balog. You're always so uptight." Cifer said while still smiling, "What i'm doing is creating a distraction for the humans while being entertained."
   "This isn't a joke." Balog said, "The forest wolves weren't part of the plan. Any addition or subtraction can ruin everything. You are part of the inner circle, so you should know better."
   "The master wouldn't mind and besides, i am helping the master and the hivelings with this." Cifer replied, "Think about it. There are still several hivelings in Keigra and they would have been discovered by those angry humans if i didn't send the forest wolves. I am doing the master and hivelings a favor, all that is left is the hivelings to leave with the opportunity given to them… That is if they have enough brains."
   "Fair point." Balog said as he lets go of Cifer.
   Balog walks past Cifer to watch the battle in Keigra while Cifer was adjusting his collar.
    "I will gently request you to never lay your hands on me, again." Cifer said, "If such a thing should repeat itself…"
   "There will be consequences." Cifer said as he glanced at Balog with glowing irises.
    "Cifer… Have you forgotten who you are talking to?" Balog asked while still facing forward.
   Wavy black lines violently swirled round Cifer and Cifer found himself in a graveyard filled with crosses during nighttime.
   "It seems you need a reminder of where you stand." A deepened voice.
   Cifer turns back and sees himself  sitting dead on the ground with his back leaning against a tombstone which left Cifer dismayed. Cifer immediately found himself back in where he was standing before while Balog was still watching the fight between the humans and the forest wolves.
    "Hm. The humans really are angry." Balog said, "You are correct…"
   "Cifer." Balog said as he glanced at Cifer with glowing irises.
   Balog walks towards the dismayed Cifer and straightens his collar.
  "I apologise for how i held you, earlier." Balog said, "I reacted too quickly without giving you an audience."
   Balog walks past Cifer and creates a dark portal.
   "However, the next time you cross me, you will end up like what you saw." Balog said while facing forward, "This is not a threat…"
   "It's a warning." Balog said as he coldly glanced back at Cifer with glowing irises.
  As soon as Balog stepped into the portal and left, the dismayed Cifer gaped at the battle between the humans and the forest wolves.  In the red leafed forest, the humans were amazed at Raen's quick victory while the hivelings gazed down in disbelief at Xarafi's unconscious body which led some to murmur among themselves.
    "What in Rora's name…?" 
   "Xarafi… Defeated like this?"
   "I don't believe it!"
   "Xarafi…" Camina said softly.
   As the hivelings were murmuring in disbelief, the humans were discussing with joy concerning the achievement of Raen
   "Woah!" A female Graundar said.
 "She did it… She beat that hiveling with just 15 hits." A Kenar male said.
  "Of course she did. Have you been in a task with her?" A female Ripar asked, "She's one of the hardest hitters i have ever seen."
   A flashback takes as the female Ripar and Raen were on their knees, panting for air while a red male orc was walking towards them while the hand and dragging an unconscious female Kenar on the ground.
   "Raen, what do we do?!" The Ripar asked, "We've tried everything we've got on him and nothing worked; our plan has failed!"
    "Then throw away the plan and hit him hard!" Raen replied.
   "Hit him hard?" The Ripar asked with, "But we have done that before!"
    "Then hit him harder!" Raen said as she dashed towards the orc.
  The red orc smirked at her and hurls his fist towards Raen, only her to appear close to the orc in mid air and knock out a tooth of his with a thunderous punch. After recalling that event, the female Ripar smirked.
   "That is Raen for you." The female Ripar said, "Her sayings in a fight always involves the words of hitting harder."
  "This is Raen we are talking about." A Tenplar male said, "She was the one that taught Gorn how to fight and she used to be a terror when she was younger. 
   The she-ogre of the Tenplar tribe."
  "What did you just say?" Raen asked as she glanced back at the Tenplar male with a death stare and her irises glowing.
   "Nothing!" The Tenplar male said as he quickly turned his face away in fear.
   "Wow. You're pretty popular." Yulin said to Raen while smiling.
   "I beat up a lot of people when i was younger." Raen said as she faced forward, "We shouldn't lose focus on what is in front of us. Just because i took down that hiveling, that doesn't mean we should underestimate them."
   "You are strong, human. Very strong." Camina said, "And from the way the other humans spoke about you, your hits are something that should be avoided.
   Xarafi lost to you because she took you lightly..."
   "But I have no intention of doing the same." Camina said while discharging her aura.
   "What's going on here?" A masculine voice asked.
  Camina's aura quelled as she sights a hiveling with a bushy maroon colored mohawk and markings at the side of his head, dressed in a black sleeveless double high collared overcoat, black  trousers and opened-toe boots.
  "Ghiga, you are here?!" Camina asked in shock.
   "Of course, i am. Where else am i supposed to be?" Ghiga asked.
   "Ghiga of the Dragunflai clan. The one we call the walking calamity." Camina said inwardly, "I knew he was going to be part of the red mist task, but i didn't think it will be in this pocket realm."
  "I'll ask again: what is going on?" Ghiga asked with a scowl.
  "Xarafi got taken down by a human with 15 hits!" A male hiveling said behind Ghiga from afar which made a female hiveling instantly smack him on the cheek.
    "Ow!" The male hiveling said.
  Being shocked with the news, Ghiga widened as he sights Xarafi's unconscious body on the ground.
   "Xarafi… 15?" Ghiga asked.
  "At least, It is better than one." Camina said while smiling nervously with a gallic shrug.
  Camina felt a breeze blow on her and as she turns, she finds Ghiga squatting near Xarafi's body.
   "Words cannot express my disappointment in you." Ghiga said, "To Fall. That. Bad. 15?! REALLY?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! 15?! WHAT KIND OF HORSE SH*T IS THAT?!! 15?!!!
   That's something you'd expect Ranksa to do!"
  "Uh, Raen." Yulin called in confusion as Ghiga was yelling at Xarafi's body, "Is he…?"
   "Don't ask." Raen replied.
   "Camina, is she serious?! 15?! And she calls herself a member of the Rhoch clan?!" Ghiga asked as he glimpsed at her, "Is this the one they compared to me?! 15?!"
   "Ghiga, i think you are overreacting." Camina said.
  "You know what? I will deal with this myself." Ghiga said as he stood on his feet.
   "Tell me, who is the human that knocked her out?" Ghiga asked.
   "The black haired one standing in front of the other humans." Camina said as she points at Raen.
   Ghiga walks towards Raen and stood in her front.
   "You are the one that knocked out Xarafi with 15 hits?" Ghiga asked with a stern look.
   "Yes, i am." Raen answered.
   "I am Ghiga of the Dragunflai clan of the hiveling race. What's your identity, human?" Ghiga asked.
   "Raen of the Tenplar tribe of Agaroth." Raen answered.
   "Alright, Raen… Show me what you got!" Ghiga demanded.
   Raen swiftly struck with a strong punch across Ghiga's cheek which made spittle fly out of his mouth but despite the power of the attack, Ghiga glanced at Raen with a raised brow, showing it didn't faze him, which brought shock to Yulin and the other humans watching.
   "Huh?" Yulin said.
  Raen wastes no time and leaps in the air to land a roundhouse kick on Ghiga's face which moved his head but showed no signs of being fazed as well. 
    Raen stares at Ghiga for a moment but she could make another move, Ghiga lands a powerful gut punch that made her cough out blood and spittle at once and sent her crashing through several trees, thereby creating a rift in the act.
   "Raen!" Yulin said as she turned to the direction Raen was sent flying.
   The other humans were speechless at what they saw while of the humans knees knocked in fear.
   "As i said, earlier: I will deal with this myself." Ghiga said while scowling with his head slightly bent.
