The Warrior Beside Us

Can you survive?

In the world of high schoolers, there is challenges you face, but for these youths the challenges they face are far more dangerous.
In the world they live in, there are killers, and psychopaths. They must be ready to face the trials life will force them to endure.
However what's worse is the Dark, and the Light God haven't spoken in 50 years. The students train, and have monthly battles. Your name gets drawn, or you get recommended, except, when you are recommended, that's when someone is targeting you. Bullies are common at this school. The tough kids pick on the weaker. Kids have abilities and transformations. If you can defeat your opponents, you are respected. You are given a buzzer, during battles if you think you are going to die (not actually die, but this is a battle to determine if you are fit to survive), you can hit the button to call for your designated friend to help you, the color of the button tells you how many times you do this, if you pass the color blue, good luck surviving for the rest of your school years and life. You only die in these battles if you are heavily damaged ( as in your head gets ripped off), or get stabbed through the heart. You don't die because you are placed through protective barrier, and have a specific body shield, this stops the outside of the barrier from getting damaged (people and objects), the specific body shield protects you from dying, but does not protect you from pain, and you cannot bleed out to death.
Teachers and Judges will write down your scores to recommend you to police academies and the services (services are any protecting program). if you do not pass these credentials you are placed into medical programs, such as learning to be a doctor and heal people, and save people. people that refuse these kinds of things either find themselves in a country-side type of life in the next state over, happy and carefree with their dream career, or a in a mafia.
