 Northeast in the Greater Forest of Aiz

Bianca and Valerus run towards the uproar that was caused in the north.

STEP STEP STEP

"I hear"

SWOOSH SWISH

"Water" Bianca calls out. "There should be a river or lake up ahead as well. It also seems that the most activity is"

"Alright," I respond. Those elf ears do help her. I can stand but look at her while running long light green hair glistening in the wind, with a piece of it being a front piece of her hair being a light purple. "Why is that one strip of hair purple?" I ask her.

Binaca scratches her head with her pointer finger as she makes a thought-provoking look with a smile "Uh well that's a long story"

"Oh alright maybe another time no worries"

"Oh, I can tell a quick summarized version right now. As you know am an elf. My family was very excited to know that I had very strong mana in the family my mother's hair is green while my father's is purple. I use this way to remind me that there rooting for me"

"So you the only child?"

"Yes, so they were very pleased that I had a huge mana pool. Both my parents are Spellcaster Mages. My mother is a healing mage and my father is a rock mage. So you can possibly see why am good with the earth"

"Ah I see"

"Plus there aren't that many elves that live in Aiz so for me coming to this school was a big deal. Well, my parents thought."

"But?"

"Eriko, Ezekiel, and you had everyone's attention" "Really?" "Yeah, so I guess I can thank you guys for that. Of course, there is some talk about me being at the school but it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. That is most likely the reason Albeck, Jericho, and Rose felt like their talents were being undervalued. For myself, I went under the radar so I'll use this as a proving ground for myself. "

The two of us continue to advance off the north side moving giant tree branches and tree trunks that are in our way.

"Do you intend to win the whole Magus Exam?" I ask.

"No, I wanna at least make it to the next round and at least be a substitute am fine with that, although it would be nice to win and be called the first elf to win the Magus Exam. Who knows dont wanna dream too big" Bianca says as she shrugs her shoulders.

"Hey if you belive that you can do it give it a try" I tell her. She then gives a warm smile "Thank you Valerus"

BADUMP "Ah there it goes again," I said to myself.

"Are you okay your heart is beginning to-"

"AHH its just all this running through this giant forest and falling out of the sky moments ago"

"Alright" She then focuses her attention up ahead closing her eyes and honing in on the sounds. "The river is near but am detecting motion up ahead"

"Alright" I extended my hand to draw but I remembered where I was in a forest. Using my scythe would be inefficient in the majority of the fights here since everyone is so close corned. My best bet would be.

SHEATH

"My blade" I draw my sword as I unsheathe it from the holder. "I gotta stay focused and not lose control like last time. Breathe"

Running with my blade with my right hand I focus and calm down.

"There a couple of yards away from us on the right side be careful. Here let me assist you" While running Bianca pushes her hands out as the two mages pop up into the air not knowing what just hit them.

"Sorry guys no hard feelings" as I knock them out with the dull side of my blade and take their rings.

"There's 4 rings for us.

"Yup"

Bianca then has an expression as if she wants to ask me something. "Bianca what is it" I ask.

"Well, it. You dont get bothered by people calling you an irregular" "Eh not really I felt like I heard and been through worse" My memory flashes again as I think back to my old life.

"But that's past me. "Okay," Bianca says. "How well do you think we're doing?" We both look over at the sphere floating above us.

[20 Minutes 40 duos]

"10 minutes already? " I ask. Bianca says. "The travel to this side of the map must have been something but it feels like we were there for at least 5 minutes we were running and talking too. Strange" She speaks aloud.

"Your right. but it should be fine the other teams must be on the move" I counted with my fingers "We took out one team that 41 That means the 9 others were eliminated as someone must be leading"

"If I had to take a guess it's the team that was making a lot of noise" Bianca points out.

Suddenly the birds and the animals start to move in the opposite direction.

"What happened?"

"Give me a second" Bianca puts her hands to her tempos and closes her eyes as her ears shrug and eyes begin to move while closed. "Am detecting a large presence following two right behind us."

"It's coming from behind?"

"Yes, judging from the shape of the thing its Spider?" "Wait come again. A spider" "Yes all three in coming in towards our direction"

Suddenly we hear the screams of two girls.

"HEEEEEEEEEEELPPPPPPPPP"

"WERE SOME SCREWEEED"

The figures then begin to take shape as they come closer. Two girls with Purple and White Hair "Wait a minute arent they with Rose?" I ask. Your right.

CRASH CRASH

"Woah woah. Thats one big spider" I say aloud. "They look like they need help"

"Alright let's assist them."

The both of us charge towards the giant spider.

---------------------------------------------

The southern part of the Greater Forest of Aiz

"Wha. What happened? The last thing I remember is falling out of the sky. Slapping that knight guy and getting saved by"

"Your awake" a male voice calls out.

Sunneta turns to her left and sees another student in the Aurora Saint Academy uniform with a black and gold color scheme but a hood attached to his coat. Sitting waiting for her too get up.

"You your" Sunneta calls out.

"The person who saved your life. And guide us to victory. But you must follow my plan"

"O-ok" Suneeta responds as.

The young male removes his hood "Am Jonathan Fultear the Mage who will win this exam" with pushed slicked back medium-length black hair, 2 hoop earrings on each ear, brown eyes, and the standard Aurora Saint Academy uniform but attached with a hood.
