Austin ringoff wasn't in the best of moods but then again when has he ever been.
The training center vibrated with each blow to the punching bag, sweat trickled down his huge muscular body. Austin who was described as a brute by most, especially with his constant obsession to battle and show his strength.
Total opposite of...
"Kai , you have become boring since you became an alpha slayer", Austin said jumping from one leg to the other getting ready to strike again.
"Says the guy who is stuck as a beta", Kai said sipping his black coffee.
Austin inhaled and punched with his right fist creating a hole in the middle of the heavy bag.
"That's true, that's true", Austin said letting out a small dry laugh.
"It won't be too long, I will kick your ass -if I could spend more time training rather than shepherd a bunch of goofy kids", he added.
"This kids are the future of the slayers academy speaking of which, anyone of interest this year Kai ?" Elena said walking into the room.
"well if it isn't Elena young", Austin said interjecting
"After your fiesta last year didn't think you will show up" he added.
"Well, it is weird having so many elite slayers in one place", she said taking a seat.
"what can I say duty calls" she added crossing her slender legs.
" What about Ryker marrow", Elena said holding up a list of names.
"Fire code, interesting ", Kai said finally joining the conversation
" he's this young and he already has a control of 12..... he's endurance and speed could use some work; five and six ", Kai added
" Says the king of speed himself", Austin remarked
"Uhhh.., shocking", Elena said
"someone with zero abilities", She added her pen hovering over the details.
"Was shocked when I saw it too", Austin said changing from punches to kicks
" spiral huh..", Kai said taking another sip from his coffee
could it be.....
An alarm drifted of in the room but they didn't panic because it was the beep for an incoming message.
"This is colonel Walter; Kai kalister , Austin ringoff, Elena young, Zain Pierre's, please report for the placement exams .
"He's going to be joining us huh", Elena said as they moved towards the exit room.
All the students waited on what felt like a never ending grassland. Most were in groups while some moved around trying to make new friends. Chatting about their various skills and strengths.
This is an exam for all kids aged 15. Students were allowed to make use of any equipment even those brought from home as the exam was made to simulate how you would respond to real life situations and for those who didn't have any equipment, there were standard ones provided by this school but they were just that -standard.
Sage stood looking at the expanse of grassland wondering what in the hell he was doing here. He had woken up this morning and after a few fresh ups , he decided to have a cup of tea. Soon after, the silence became unbearable causing him to turn on the medium sized TV.
As expected all news channels were broadcasting the placement exams . He could see some of his classmates.He could see Ryker being interviewed by some journalist from BCB news, one of the biggest news channels in the state and he didn't have to turn on the volume to know what he was saying.
"This exams is going to be a work over", Ryker said flaunting his skills to the reporters who watched in awe.
Ryker had always been a genius despite his on ending ability to rub it in others faces.
With a control of 12, he most likely be a G1 slayer, sage admitted.
After the placement exams, each student was given a class; G1, G2 or G3 depending on your skill
And upon graduation of the slayers academy you are giving a rank ;alpha beta, gamma, Zeta and epsilon and this qualifies you for a position, a chance to live a comfortable life and be respected
a comfortable life.....
A knock at the door interrupted his train of thoughts. Opening the door slightly surprised, he couldn't recognize the face as he has never had anyone over but one thing he did recognize was the badge ;a shield with flames.
He must be from the Metro Slayers Association
"We have been requested to guide Sage Erlanger for the placement exams, he is to leave immediately", the stranger said.
Packing only a few things as he didn't even have a lot anyway he ended up here
Number 144 !
number 144!!, the announcer repeated .
Sage startled realized it was him and he had drifted off in his thoughts.
CURSED , someone remarked causing a round of giggles from everyone.
A slender middle aged man with bulging eyes climbed the set up stage dying down the whispers introducing himself as an instructor.
Clearing his throat, he announced
"And now it's time to welcome our one and only elite slayers.
