Lucia's Pov

A bunch of weapons appear in front of me and a robotic voice urges me to choose one. Awkwardly I didn't really know how to use weapons... I never learned. My parents only enrolled me in Jujitsu classes.

"Um I don't know how to use any weapons so do I have to choose one?"

"As you wish"

The environment around me changes and all of a sudden, I'm in the forest and a guy comes to me and taunts.

"Come out come out wherever you are!"

I was debating between either to flee the scene or fight him, but a practice match never hurts does it? I creep behind the trees and now I'm behind him ready to strike. I run out into the open and push him over and he falls into a bunch of twigs and ends up scratching himself.

"Oh you shouldn't of done that" he says as he gets up

Immediately I grab a twig and do backhand springs in order to dodge the bullets. Damn I didn't see he had a gun. I climb a tree and flip in the air and smack his head with the twig and I hit a weak spot on his leg causing him to fall helplessly. I smack his face and hit him repeatedly with the twig until he turns into dust.

Walking through the forest I see small movement in the corner of my eye. And of course, Grimm creatures had to appear. I slowly back away and try to avoid the Grimm creature but it's no use. It quickly charges at me with its claws, managing to pierce my arm and I wince in pain. I back up and run at him with full speed jumping on it's chest and I grab it's head and bring it to the ground with full force.

It gets back up and attempts to scratch me with it's claws but it's useless, I was too quick and dodged every single swipe and hit it's neck causing it to the ground paralyzed.

( thoughts to myself )

Okay Lucia you can do this, attack at the right time and find it's other pressure points.

I hold it's body down with my foot and grab it's arm twisting it and pulling it as hard as I could. The creature winced in pain as I dislocated it's arm.

"Sorry Grimm, it's self defense" I say walking away

The environment changes and I'm on a platform with mountains on one side, and the beach on the other side. In front of me was a person with twin blades staring at me. I run towards him and kick the daggers out of his hand. He quickly retrieves the dagger and manages to pierce my arm with it. Fuck!

I kick his neck and locate his pressure point, jabbing it repeatedly until he's left on the ground doing nothing. Grabbing the blades I get a piece of his clothing and wrap it around where my wound was to make it stop bleeding.

"Wave 1 down, another 1 to go!" said the annoying robotic voice.

The Environment changes - Forest on one half, Fire and Ice structures on the other.

This time 2 guys appear, one with a sniper and one with a sword and shield. This time I watch the sniper run quickly to the forest and I follow him. The sword and shield guy follows us, but he's much slower & has a bulky physique compared to the sniper. I climb up a tree that the sniper is located on and he starts shooting at me like crazy!

I dodge every single hit, but one penetrates my shoes, luckily not my feet. I snatch the sniper out of his hand and I repeatedly hit him with it, causing him to fall. He quickly got up on his feet and now we fighting melee style. The first thing he attempts is a punch and I dodge that doing a back tuck and I grab his arm and kick his face, his leg, and his stomach and then throw him against a tree. I punch his face one more time, throw him up in the air and penetrate his back with his sniper causing him to turn into dust, signifying he's dead.

The sword and shield guy, throws the sharp blade down, missing me by an inch, but I kick his face and punch his stomach and grab the sword. I threw the sword far away so he would be defenseless. I attempt to punch him again, but he throws his shield up and kicks my stomach causing me to fall. I quickly get up and start climbing up a tree. At this point I didn't know what to do, there wasn't any resources to use, except for leaves and twigs, which were practically useless.

I flip out of the tree and hit his shield with the knee, which literally caused so much pain in my knee. Right before he swings his sword I roll over to the side and struggle to get up. Using all the energy I had left in me, I punch his stomach and I swing my hand into the side of his neck. Limping, I retrieve the blade and then pierce his stomach with it, causing him to dissolve into dust.

At this moment I thought I couldn't do anything anymore because of my knee. I sit down beside the tree and I try to pop it and the pain increases every time I get closer to popping it. After 5 minutes of pain, trying to pop it, my knee eventually pops and it feels so much better.

And you guessed it, the environment changes back into the forest. Sigh, I start walking the opposite direction that I was earlier, and I start to smell something burning. As I turn around I see almost the entire forest in fire. Immediately I start to run as fast as I can before smoke comes and I realize I can't outrun the fire. It's useless! The forest is too big and I don't have enough energy to outrun the fire.

Knowing this was just a test, I put my hands up and just wait to see what's going to happen. Waiting to just be eaten up by the burning trees falling, I open my eyes and I notice there's a light aqua bubble surrounding me. Sort of looking like an aura.

"Lucia! It's Tatiana, congratulations on unlocking your semblance. Your semblance is the ability to control your aura. Everybody has an aura, but you have massive control over yours, which is why you are safe from the fire. Your aura is acting like a force field and it protects you from anything."

"Oh that's cool."

"Well you completed the test, now you can meet the other warriors!"

And Tatiana's voice fades away and the environment changes and I see 2 people standing beside me staring at me.
