”Today, you guys shall be fighting a practice match against a monster.”

The reactions were mixed. Some were happy that they get to show off, some were scared for their lives. Though, I couldn't care less.

”This will get you ready for the competition. This will also be a graded test. You students will be facing against a monster I created so you guys don't have to worry. Naturally, the one who does the final kill will get the highest grade. So let us get to the courtyard now.”

Multiple clicks were then heard as everybody changed into their attire. A white cotton shirt with mid-thigh black shorts. Some even still have their cape on as it can contain weapons. By the time we reached there, the teacher was standing at one end of the courtyard. He shouted.

”Now, you will be facing this monster!” He snapped his fingers as a blue magic circle appeared on the ground. A screech coming piercing everyone's ears as the monster appeared. Slowly, the monster rose from the ground. What came out made me scared.

It was the same monster in my dream, a white spider-like creature with human hands for legs and a human body. For a second, I could see the horror flash before my very eyes. I could see my parents soul merged together as it let's out a hideous scream. Then I heard a voice.

”I said I will be back little one~” The tone of the voice was very high pitched and it spoke to at random intervals. It sent chills down my spine as it looked at me and screeched.

”Now, the test will begin!” As that was said, spells of many elements were casted. The creature with one of its legs were raised and swiped all the spells, as if it was nothing and efficiently blocking it. More soells were cast, but little to no damage was done.

”Hint for all of you! This is a made up monster, what binds the two together?” However, it seems like it wasn't of any help as many people kept aiming the wrong spot. I took time to analyse as people kept hitting. There were only two groups: The Aggressors and The Waiters.

The Aggressors were the one constantly lowering the monster's health while The Waiters were the one waiting to strike, aiming for the final strike. Another hideous scream rang throughout the whole field accompanied with screams of humans. Wait, humans?

I snapped out of my analysis state to see the monster hitting the students and flinging them outside out of the courtyard. I looked at the instructor and what I saw was terrifying. An evil smile before pretending to think of a way to retract the monster. The Waiters were now scared and Walton was hiding behind.
