Waiting For The Light

Training(1)

"All the students gather in the main hall, Now! "

There was an announcement. All the students rushed to the main hall. After all of the students gathered, Mr Clerk started to talk.

But he looked like in a problem. So when the students saw his face, they knew that he is not gonna say something good.

" All of you listen to me well. You know that our school is one of the magic schools. So there is more school. Today we got a letter from Eulogia High school. They have arranged a battle. Five students of our school also must participate in it.

 Five students from every school will come for the battle. It's said that Mr Henry Jacob will be the chief guest. He ranked as the 3rd most powerful mage. So we can't just ignore this battle. The battle will be held on next month. Even though you are still not ready for a battle, we are gonna give you some training and choose five students out of you."

When Mr Clerk said that everyone started to mumble. Some were nervous. Some were excited. Some were still calm. 

" Shhh... Listen...  Your class schedule will be changed from tomorrow, your study hours will be used for your training. After 8 days every class must present one student to attend the battle. After that, I will choose the five people by myself. So work hard and improve yourself.

 You will be able to attend that. Do you understand? "Mr Clerk was excited to see how well the students work for this.

" Yes sir " Students also seem to be excited but also nervous. 

After this news, all the students had to work hard.

Mr Mike's class decided to let Benjamin attend. Mr Mike taught him a lot of things for battle. Other students also supported him. 

After 8 days, there was a student selected by every class. All of them were called to the main hall by the principal.

" Okay ..now here, there are 3200 students. I need to choose five students. "Mr Clerk said with a serious face. 

All the students were ordered to line up. Benjamin also came there. The next moment they stood in a line suddenly they felt heavy. Benjamin felt a chill. What was that? They felt like something is trying to crush them into pieces.

A lot of students fell. But Benjamin stayed still even though it was hard. That's when he saw Kevin also come there. Kevin has got no problem. He just stayed the same while looking at what was happening around him. 

He was confused. Because he didn't get any problem. When Kevin saw Benjamin was also trying to stand properly.

He waved his hand to Benjamin. Kevin was so happy to see Benjamin there. Students tried to transform and use their powers to stand up still. But they couldn't transform.

After a pressure that kept going on for more than 15 minutes, only five students were left standing.

" All the students who fell, stand up and go back to your classes... Thank you for your hard work." Mr Clerk said.

Some of them were sad. Some of them silently accepted their fate. Some of them were jealous of the five people. 

After they left, only five students left there. All of them had the same problem. 

" Why did the principal use force on the students, when they couldn't even transform? "

But they didn't ask. They knew there must be a reason.

Benjamin and Kevin have selected. Both of them were so excited. Because they love themselves more than others. Because of that, they were always encouraged by themselves.

" Okay, Then I decided to send you to the battle. I hope all of you will not let down us " Mr Clerk said and then left.

" Is that it? " All of them looked at each other.

" Excuse me, Why don't we introduce each other ." A female student said. 

There were only 2 female students.

"I think we should " Another boy also said. 

Then the five students sat down and started to introduce themselves.

"  I am Emily. I am a fox" The girl who talked first said.

" My name is Ella. I am a fairy. " The other girl said.

" A fairy? Are they also here? " Benjamin thought.

" I am Jack. I am a Willow tree "  Another boy said.

" A tree?, Is it even possible .. How will he look like when he transformed? "

" I am Kevin. I am a vampire " Kevin also said.

Finally, it's Benjamin's turn.

" I am Benjamin. I am an ice dragon ."

All of them were kind of special. They were not related at all. But they chose to be a team.

After a few minutes, the awkward situation changed. They talked with each other and get to know each other well. When they were laughing and chatting, they didn't say that Mr Clerk come.

" Ah... Looks like all of you have already become friends ." He said with a smile.

They stood up.

" Okay okay .. Sit down. I have a lot of things to tell you " All of them sat down again.

" The match will be held after 2 weeks. We only have 2 weeks to get ready. So you must work hard this time. Since this is your first time in a battle, first I will tell you the details.

"There won't be any team battles. You have to face an opponent alone. They will challenge their opponent. We can't challenge it because we don't qualify for that. 

So we can only fight with the one who invited you. I think there will be more schools like us. But we should at least win one match. We can't lose.

I am counting on you guys"

Mr Clerk said. 

"We will try our best " students said.

" This is not gonna be easy. Because all the high schools will participate. We didn't even rank to 100. We have to work hard. I am telling you again take this seriously. If you won by any chance, our school will get a lot of things. All of you are our hope now " Mr Clerk was so serious.

 " Okay, Shall we begin your training? "

Then he called someone and a person came. 

When Benjamin saw that person, He felt a little familiar. 

" Ah! The guy who picked him up. That crazy car driver. Why is he here?"

When Benjamin saw him, his face turned pale when he remembered the scene before.

" Hi .. little guys.." He said with a smile.

" This is Peter. He will train you from now on. "Mr Clerk said. 

"Ah? A car driver will train us? " 

After that Mr Clerk left. Then Peter gave a smile to Benjamin as if he is so familiar with Benjamin.

" Okay, I heard everything about your battle. So from now on, I will be your teacher until the match. But you can call me just Peter. Okay? "

" Yes. Mr Peter. " 

" Sigh.. don't mind.  First, show me your beast forms " 

Then all of them transformed. Kevin and Benjamin still hid the blade and wings. 

Emily had three tails. " She must be powerful." Everyone thought.

Two ears appeared on her head. They look the same as Benjamin's classmate fox Lily. She was cute with that ears. but  Emily got a powerful mage's image when that ears appeared. That was not cute but gives a chill.

Then Ella, the fairy.

She has got wings. They are quite big, but not like Mr Mike's.They were shining. So beautiful. Her ears were different. The top of her ear was long. As an elf. She was a cunning beauty. Everyone admired her beauty. Her eyes turned into golden colour, just like Kevin's vampire hair colour. 

Next Jack. His hands and legs turned into willow vines. Only his upper body was the same after left his hands. 

Kevin and Benjamin transformed without their blade and wings.

When everyone saw Kevin's golden hair and Benjamin's long white hair, they were truly fascinated. They were so handsome with the changes. 

" Okay, then the first assignment for today. Try to reach that stage " He pointed to the stage.

" That's it? "Ella asked.

" But I am here to stop you,"  Peter said.

Everyone understood the mission. But when they saw Peter's beast form, all of them froze at the same spot.
