Thud
The last of the abomination of the sea fell to the ground, dissolving into light.
A group of students who just battled it sighed in relief. Exhaustion and fatigue evident from their posture.
This was given, as they have been relentlessly defending against endless waves of sea abomination that climbed up their boat.
For the first trial, whoever were present at the chaos sea harbour were forced to board the gaint boat and defend against the sea.
"Uhh...the clothes are all damp, hey! Don't look!" A girl screamed at the peeping boy.
"Where is jack?" Another in the party asked, where is there healer.
"Ah, he is there. Apparantly he found out today that he is sea sick." The girl from before answered, pity flashing in her eyes. The storm in the latter half rocked the ship hard, drenching everyone onboard with sea water and fishes.
"Getting drenched and fighting those disgusting creatures was not on my to do list today." A warrior on the front joined in.
"Blechhi....guys, can someone lend me a new buck-bleeeeechh" the healer doubled down again the vomit.
The warrior approached the healer and gave him 'light' taps on his back, laughing out loud.
"Hahaha...how weak, but you deserve it. Here a pat of victory from my tribe."
He gave a smug grine to others and boasted while pointing at himself-
"How many did you slay? I slayed over 500!"
"356" the archer replied simply,
"423" the girl replied in annoyance,
"123" the priest replied gloomy mood,
.
"921" the healer replied.
"Huh?..." They all showed disbelief at his words.
The healer, jack, looked at their expression and innocently questioned,
"Why such faces....it was just bonking them on the face."
The confusion deepened, they stared at the holy staff he carried,
How hard did he bonk, for them to die!
"My number isn't even impressive, look at the princess's feat." He srunged, pointing at the front of the deck.
Floating few kilometres away from the ship front was a levaithan, sized in kilometres, sprouting countless black tentacles, cursified by golden chains of order.
It was the main event of the survival trial.
It was supposed to be an dangerous, irsurmountable obstacle. Objective was clear- survive, not conquer.
Yet the heir of Alectra kingdom, one of the 7 kingdoms that constitute the Astra Empire, single handedly beat it one on one!
She in a single motion, summoned great chains of order and cursified the leviathan, leaving it's life now at her mercy.
She stood at the frontmost, wearing a tall witch hat and custom made cherry red uniform.
She had ruby like red eyes that sparkled and snow white hair that perfectly matched her fair complexion. Giving a delicate Beauty vibe.
Though her stature was shorter than average, she compensated with her tall witch hat. This made her look adorable to others eyes, no matter how seriously they took her.
Currently she had a fierce look on her face, she looked angry at something, which made them wonder - what exactly is she thinking about?
As for the person in question,
[Winners of Zone 23: Sky Theobane & Aeon!]
'Skkkkyyyyyyyyy, if I get my hands on...I swear, I will hang you upside down then ########### ########-!'
....The further thoughts were....rather too inappropriate...
For a petite women who looked adorable from outside, she had rather... intresting thoughts. Maybe sorcerers being eccentric was true.
Lilya had a fierce gaze on outside seemgly fixed on the levaithan or so it seemed to others, but inside she was relieving with frustration.
'so in the end she failed to capture him, it's not that I didn't expect it but it would have been nice...'
Liliya had sent her trusted left hand subordinate to capture him but looks like sky duped her.
Liliya cleared her mind of unnecessary thoughts, hunting sky would come later.
She focused her gaze at the disgusting creature infront of her, it further creeped her out when it tried to reach her with its slimly tentacles.
"If you were not so disgusting, I would have made you a test subject. Alas, you are unfortunate."
❮Your unique authority wishes to activate!❯
"Fuck off" she snorted out, silencing her 'naughty authority'.
Her eyes grew brighter, as golden clock wheels spun inside them.
[Inherent trait - 'Sage's Temporal Loop' goes Overclock!]
She raised her staff, law bending to her will.
"Now, kindly...get erased."
The soft rain stopped, as the sky split.
A golden sword made of pure order descended from above.
It's sheer majesty radiated made all kneel before it.
It's was like a second sun has descended, obliterating all in its path to glory.
The levaithan stood no chance, it got erased in the first few seconds.
The sea below got erased in the next second.
The air got erased in the third.
Shaaaaaaaaa~
What left was a Gaint hole in the ocean. One could see the sea bed at it's depth, open to air after an eternity.

Liliya heed it not much attention, she gazed back at the ship.
"Sigh, I have to tidy them up for the second trial..great! More work!" She muttered in frustration, puffing her mouth slightly.
'Sky you are dead to me!'
Poor sky....
'I should also investigate this Aeon guy..'
Also, poor Aeon....
✧✧✧✧✧
Somewhere in an dark forest...a pair of bloody red eyes stared down on a floating piece of page from the darkness.
[Zone 23 winners: Sky Theobane & Aeon!]
They sparred it a few seconds then looked away.
[You have triumphed over the forest of forge!]
