15 Survive The Day (1/2)
”I'm such a fucking coward...”
He stood up of the bed, feeling as tired as when he had fallen asleep. Darius decided to go take a shower where he found a black uniform and boots waiting for him with a letter instructing him to put them on and eat something, while waiting for further instructions. He did so and waited until It was about eleven a.m when Darius heard people walking outside.
Curiosity getting the better of him he walked up to the door. Looking through the eye-hole he could see several other nobles being led somewhere, all wearing the same black uniform.
At that moment Darius noticed an attendant walking towards his room. The attendant was surprised to find Darius waiting for him behind the door as he said, ”My lord, it is time you enter the briefing room with the other nobles.”
As Darius was about to go out the door the attendant waved his arm as he said, ”No need, if you would kindly step onto the platform my lord. the man motioned to a large black circle in the middle of the room. Darius reluctantly walked towards it, not sure what would happen.
The platform began to descend slowly, picking up speed along the way as it began to descend faster and faster down, until it lowered Darius was standing in a small conference room filled with eighteen year old youths who didn't hesitate to stare at him. None actually saying a word.
Darius felt incredibly awkward as he stumbled off the platform. Due to his royal entrance all eyes were on him, he was in the worst situation he could have ever possibly dreamed of. He was completely surrounded by a bunch of stuck up teenage nobles who could tell he wasn't one of them from the moment he stepped off the platform.
”Good evening, Lords and ladies.” An attractive voice came from the top of the stairs. A beautiful woman stood on a platform in front of all the candidates. Two other women stood just behind her. Each with a saber strapped to their sides.
The test administrator was, in the eyes of all men the perfect woman. Her curvaceous body was the perfect hour glass figure and she was the kind of woman nations would go to war over.
Darius' heart skipped a beat as she stood in front of him. She wore a White blouse and short black pencil skirt. She exuded a confidence and intelligence and to Darius she was the kind of woman who only existed in his imagination. Her black hair and red eyes were the epitome of feminine enticement.
”I will be your test administrator today for the first, low level challenge. We are currently on the ground floor of the academy known as the arena. Here you will prove yourselves worthy of inheriting your parents legacies. The following tests will require you to use skill, intelligence and bravery in order to pass the test let alone make it out alive.”
There were many gasps and murmurs throughout the crowd as the woman spoke. ”Its her!”
”I can't believe its her!”
”I heard that she was a qualified Spiritknight by the time she was 15!”
”Wrong! She was 14!”
”I heard that she is close to being a titled knight!
Hearing the murmurs around him Darius figured out one thing. The woman in front of him was a genius! To become a Spiritknight at 14? Darius was already 18 and he was struggling to enter the Spiritsmith guild as an assistant! Such a prodigy was clearly worlds apart from him. She knew her identity as a celebrity would make a fuss, however she would not let it bother her from executing her orders.
”For the lower ranking nobles this will be your first and only test, for the highest ranking nobles however, this test will be one of several. If you don't have a weapon already one will be provided for you based on the outcome of your smiter tests. Oh and one last thing, make the first kill count. For most of you your parents will be watching, don't disappoint.”
