A new land, life and love

Ch 7: Practical Exam

In front of mock city D, were the large group of students assigned to it. Each was dressed in an outfit of their choice, some customized to support their quirks, others designed for optional movement and ect. Standing on the outskirts of crowd, not bothering to socialize, Kinich was stretching in his original attire as Ajaw flew around his head in his tiny pixel dragon form

"Hey, Kinich. Kiniiiich"

"What?"

"Do we haveeee to hold back? I haven't been able to rampage since we got here"

"I will only let you if the only things you destroy are the pointers and buildings and no killing," the dragon huffed at this but just showed his disapproval by pulling on Kinich's bandana, "Fine, we, the Almighty K'uhul Ajaw, agrees to these terms if you, servant, makes us berry juice."

Kinich raised his eyebrow at this, "Really? Just for juice?" and with a growing smirk he turned around to look at the dragonlord. Said dragon's face turned red as he reprimanded the teen, "How dare you! The vessel of this lord dares to take this master's graciousness and make fun of it!" Continuing to laugh at him, Kinich turned his attention to the new commotion in the middle of the crowd. It was the same green-haired kid from earlier in the presentation and he was being called out by the same teen from earlier, except this time almost everyone in the group joined in on the insults

"Why are you here? Hoping to interfere?"

"The kid was acting like an idiot at the front gate"

"He flinches at the slightest touch"

"I guess that's one less rival to worry about"

Obviously feeling embarrassed, the messy haired kid looked down at his feet until Present Mic's voice cut through to his rescue once again, " AND BEGIN! " At his words, Kinich activated his skill and grappled himself to the roof of one of the buildings while the rest of the group confusedly turned to look at the observers booth.

As if to answer the confused students, Mic yelled at them to move, " WHAT'S WRONG? THE TEST'S STARTED!! RUN! RUN!! THE DIE IS CAST!! " This managed to get the students moving but not before Kinich took down a 3-pointer. He plunged down onto the first with Fang of the Mountain King from the roof and unleashed Ajaw in his medium-sized pixel form, " HA HA HAH, FULL GLORY! "

Activating his skill once again, Kinich locked onto the damaged mek and started to slide side to side, shooting dendro at it. He almost fell the first time, due to the sudden imbalance from his horns and tail, but quickly adapted to utilize them to his advantage. Allowing Ajaw to finish off the mek, he stabbed his armored tail into ground to accomplish a quick tight turn as he grappled another 3-pointer that was in a group of 1- and 2-pointers. Kinich shot his cannon at the group, breaking them all at once. Looking around him, he saw the other students joining the battle as well as others who were frozen in place from Ajaw screaming profanities and destroying everything in his path and Kinich destroying six meks by himself. Wiping away the light sweat on his brow, he mumbled, "12 points..."

This didn't go unheard by his dragon companion now on the ground tearing through meks, Ajaw cackled in glee as he crushed a robotic appendage in his jaws, "HA HAH, SERVANT! MAKE THAT 29 POINTS!"

Soon after five minutes, all the students were fighting or at least attempting to fight when a tremble went through the ground, Ajaw detected it first. Crushing the head of a 3-pointer in his mouth, he raised his head and scanned the area for his vessel. He spotted Kinich across the mock city, breaking another 2-pointer and taking a moment to wipe more sweat off of his brow

Jumping into the air, Ajaw flapped his wings as he flew over and landed in front of Kinich, " Servant, this Lord sensed a tremble in the earth, perhaps the " gimmick " the loud one mentioned " However, when Kinich was going to acknowledge this new information, a rumble went through the air. Every single student paused their fighting and turned to the source, a gigantic mek that was larger than the buildings and was reaching for them

And chaos erupted

A sea of frightened students ran past Kinich and Ajaw in an effort to put as much distance between them and the rampaging robot. "Ajaw, do you think you can fight that?" It should be as big as those Ruin Golems that the Traveler talked about

He turned to the dragon that was only twice his height, a terrifying size difference if both of them didn't know what Ajaw actually was capable of, "I can but I will need to use more phlogiston."

Kinich was about to provide the additional phlogiston when a blur of green flew past them. It was the same student as before, he ran forward in a burst of speed to a girl who was lying on the ground right in front of the 0-pointer. Kinich was about to call out to him to stop, when the teen jumped up and punched the mek in the face, releasing an ear-shattering smash into the air

He look as shocked as all the other students

And then began to fall
