Chapter 87 - Number one (2/2)

”Why ask if you already know the answer?”

Harry just smiled back at Cherry.

”The five people passing this exam have already been decided.”

Harry and the others already knew what Cherry was talking about. Watching the fight, it was easy to see that there were currently five students who were outperforming the rest in the arena. The first one was Ray. Many students were now staying clear of him after his performance.

The next two where Sloth and Badger. They were using a pair of weapons called the Katar. They were similar to daggers only there were no hilts. You held a long bar that then extended into a triangle blade. The two twins were quick with their hands and worked well together.

They would often use a display or acrobats to avoid oncoming opponents and attack others.

The next one that had caught the third-year students' eyes was Kyle. Kyle was currently using a variation of the chain and weight as his weapon. He was skilfully using it to keep a good distance away from his opponents. The long-range of the weapon made it difficult for anyone to get close.

Lastly was Martha. She had the great sense of timing of when to strike and when to not, using the bodies of others to avoid getting hit. Every time she would take a shot at someone, she would move so others didn't know of her position.

As long as these five didn't decide to go against each other, everyone was sure that they would go through to the next round.

While Gary was busy looking at the fight from above, he heard a female voice call out his name.

”Gary over here.” Jasmine waved. Then she signalled for Gary to come over and join her.

”Who's the pretty girl?” Dan asked.

”I've never seen her before.” Slyvia replied, ”Monk what about you?”

”Who me? No, never. I don't even know who you're talking about!”

Monk was terrible at keeping secrets and judging by his reactions everyone knew Monk was hiding something.

As Gary came over, Jasmine and he moved to a quiet place where no one was around. She then whispered in his ear,

”Do you remember that underground cave we went to, behind the red door?”

Gary was suddenly interested in what she had to say.

”Well I started having dreams about it. I was getting obsessed then I found out something…I found another way in. Another entrance apart from the red door.”

Gary was suddenly very interested.
