Chapter 76: Mathias
"The matches will be two minutes long, and so when the timer hits zero, the top two performances will be the ones that pass. Else, the two that win will pass.
Now that you all know the basic rules, get up to the arena seats and wait for you to be called by your numbers," the man finished speaking, and immediately, their wrists started glowing with their numbers.
Riven lifted his hand up, and to his dismay, the number that showed there was number one.
"You have to be kidding me, I got number one?" he muttered under his breath. He already knew how this exam was set, and that was the fact that the two number ones would definitely be going up against the two two hundred and fifty right off the start.
’Sigh, I have to fight first now, then I’ll have to give it my all. This exam is not all about fighting, but also giving it your all, showing off just in case the time finishes. Your showing off will be what makes you pass.’
"What number did you get, bro?" Noel asked. He flashed his number in front of Riven as they went to sit down, and it was a number that sent chills down Riven’s spine: number two hundred and fifty.
’No, they did this on purpose. They want to set us against each other and see what happens. Shit, it couldn’t get worse than this,’ Riven cursed in his mind and showed his friend his number, then leaned in close.
"Noel, don’t ask me how I got the information, because I’m going to need you to trust in me right now. The first fight, it’s going to be me and someone versus you," Riven said.
Noel’s eyes widened when he realized the situation. This was very bad.
"You don’t need to worry though. All we have to do is show off and give our teammates the illusion that we are working together with them, while at the same time dragging the two minutes down," Riven said.
"The headmistress is sitting up in the stands. Do you think that we will be able to use acting to trick her eyes?" Noel asked.
