The hour was up and I took everyone's papers. I looked over each of the papers and memorizing the answers they had put down. I sighed and then continued.
"Alright," I said, "It looks like we have a lot of work to do....you all failed...."
The was a near scream though them all.
"You are lying!" Lexian nearly yelled.
"I don't lie," I answered.
"Can we see what we got wrong?" Amaterasux asked.
I compiled all the papers into my hand and set them on fire.
"Do you still want them?" I asked.
"You b*****!" Akane yelled.
"Am I now?" I asked, "Well I am if I am."
"How could we all have failed?" Rayix asked.
I shrugged.
"So what? What is going to happen if we fail!" Deidrex asked.
"The Leader has given me permission to kick out evryone that fails my two part test," I answered glaring at them.
"Is he serious?" Vexe asked Xyris.
"I am always serious," I answered.
"So what do we have to make on the next part to pass then?" Xait fianlly asked.
"I was wondering when all of your brains would kick in," I chuckled, "Now then. To pass my test you all must ace the next portion the fighting skills test where you will fight each other."
"Did you say fighting?" Nyx asked, "What has gotten into you Triskix? You were never into seeing other members fight...."
"Heh....you haven't know me for the past ten years Nyx....I've changed," I laughed.
"He's nuts," Setxune whispered to Tsukux.
"You can call me outright crazy if you want, but it makes no difference to me. Either you take this test and pass with flying colors or you are kicked out of this Castle and I will have less annoyances to deal with."
"So then....how is this going to work?" Lexian asked.
"It's simple. I will pair you up with someone and you will have to fight them. If you show me a good enough fight I might just pass you heh.No matter what the winner advances and has to fight a winner from another round..."
"Is the leader fighting?" Rexikat asked.
"No," I answered.
A sigh went though a few.
"But I will," I answered, "I will fight the last one standing....and if you beat me I will exscuse you from all your chores for a month and give you four hundred dollars on the black market."
The sound of excitement couldn't be more loud. I laughed.
"Oh one more thought," I answered, "You are allowed to kill."
Another wave of this one of shock went though them.
"Are you saying that you will kill?" Yuumeix asked.
"Well of course," I answered, "Now then here is the break up."
Akane v. Xait
Deidrex v. Tsukux
Vexe v. Setxune
Amaterasux v. Yuumeix
Xyris v. Rayix
Rexikat v. Nyx
Lexian v. Triskix
"No way! You are going to start from the beginning?" Vexe asked.
"Why yes. That is only fair.....the rules stand if you beat me then you get the money and lack of chores," I answered.
"But what if Lexian beats you in the first round?" Setxune asked.
"Well then that is his victory and he gets the prize. You still will all have to fight though," I answered.
A groan went though them, but I turned and walked briskly to the North tower.
"Hey were are you going?" someone asked.
"To the battle grounds of course," I answered.
