CAMADA'S POINT OF VIEW.
His green eyes are deeply glaring at me,
- I find this simply annoying-
So, I instinctively glare back as well.
-Who does he think he is anyway?-
I am positive he has no right to command ANY respect from me;
-He's JUST an ordinary mage applicant, not even a Student yet-
His expression appears to harden more and more by the minute, and I wonder to myself;
-If all mage students are all this pompous-
"Sorry…" I mutter simply, thinking otherwise than to waste my time with such a stiff.
His glaring expression instantly melts, and is replaced with a questioning look.
"Tsk…isn't it only natural for me to apologize?" I undertone as I begin to walk away,
"ATTENTION…EVERYBODY"
I turn to the podium, to see Rev Waer standing upon it,
-Looking sleepy as usual-
Her eyes look across all of us meditatively,
It's not Rev Netyisha that's beside her this time.
A tall man with long black hair and polished nails;
-He has a strange smirk on his face-
He opens his mouth to speak;
"Students…welcome to SCREENING 2…"
-Gulp-,
The entire hall is understandably thrown into chaos,
-How could they possibly begin Screening 2 so abruptly and only a day after Screening 1?!-
The man beside Rev Waer smiles, he leans nearer and whispers some words to her, she nods in agreement,
"So…pair up with the next three people beside you" she states simply,
I feel a light tap on my shoulder,
- Taki -
"We do make an excellent team" she says breathlessly,
I smile amused.
-Did she really run all the way?-
"Well…I guess I'm with you two"
A guy walks up to us nervously,
I look him over; He has blond hair and brown eyes, but most importantly about him is that;
-Something about him doesn't just quite fit in-
"Wait a minute…I'm the only guy…plus I don't recognize any of you so I'm the only mage student too…" he sounds worried, Taki gives him a friendly pat on the shoulder,
"Not necessarily…"
She points to the guy I bumped into earlier, he stands alone -
-Currently the only one unpaired-,
His frown is despicable as he looks around in concealed confusion.
"Oh, that guy...well I kinda hate to do this but..."
Our new team member pauses and calls out to him;
"…we need one more!"
Taki gives a small laugh,
"Why would you hate to call him?"
He sighs heavily and states;
"Just look at the stupid look on his face…it's like we're begging him, he's so stuck up, unnecessarily rude and incredibly stiff"
He remarks uncensoredly,
Truly, the guy strolls over grudgingly, scowling.
I perfectly hate his attitude.
-I'd love to punch him so bad-
"I like to work alone…" he states simply
"But…you can't…so let's just do this and get over with it…" I snap back at him before he spouts more trash,
He's surprised at my quick reflex and actually shuts up.
"Now…originally...you all are meant to take six months for the screening process, but as it is…in both the Mage and Reverred Acadamies…there was an outstanding death rate…so, our plans have been altered… and the Second Screening process will take a week in the Realm Mage Gazo here will take you to…" Rev Waer sleepily motions to the man beside her who gives a curt bow.
"If you manage to live…" Gazo states while chuckling
"Then we'll move you on to the next stage…" there is a tense silence ,
"So.. without further ado…"
Gazo snaps his fingers twice, then a huge black curtain-like mass envelopes all of us;
-I feel a sort of cold wind wafting on my skin and my senses are numbed as I feel myself lifted up and transported to ; somewhere-.
************
I wake up with a gasp for breath.
Then I sit up and look around me.
I am greeted by the presence of a forest
-A dark kind of forest surrounded by surreal trees-
Then I notice someone else beside me, still unconscious.
-The arrogant guy I bumped into earlier-
I look around me;
-Where is Taki and the other Guy?-
Then I listen;
I am alarmed by the shrieking sounds everywhere,
-I sure don't want whatever is causing the screams to get to me-
I sigh in exhaustion.
-I am already tired of this place-,
I turn to Mr Arrogant, who is frowning in his dreams, I smack him harshly.
-Hitting him felt so satisfying-
He jerks up with a start;
-He's frowning right from sleep?-,
His expression changes when he sees it's me, then...
-He frowns again-
"Why are we meeting again?" he asks subtly, as I stands up, I shrug,
"We're supposed to be teammates genius, and what's important is that we need to get out of here but…just so you know…it's not like I deliberately crossed your path either!".
