Tristan's group had just been made, and Tristan was now ready for the festival. At the same time, two figures who wore cloaks that covered their face just entered the waiting room. At the same time, Eira's group was still missing one member; the rest of the group was made up of her best friend Aries and her stepsister Natty.
Aries was from the yellow bloodline, but she didn't have any traits from that bloodline. She had a white ponytail with purple eyes, while natty on the other hand, had grey fox ears and hair with grey eyes, and she held a triton that was covered with bandages.
"Eira, what do we do? We still need more members ?" Aries worriedly asked Eira, waiting to hear her thoughts on the situation.
"Don't worry, we could just participate like that, don't forget I am the strongest in this group," Eira said as she shrugged her shoulder and walked away, but Natty held Eira's hand, stopping her from moving forward.
"Eira, we need to think about this carefully. Not everyone is a pushover here," Natty said as she looked at both Tristan and Malachi. When Malachi noticed, he just smiled at them and waved, and this made Eira angry.
"Um, excuse me, but I think I may be able to help you." A girl with red, curly hair and crimson eyes said that, as she walked toward Eira's group, her name was Ruby.
"And who are you exactly ?" Eira asked, looking at Ruby like a bug that couldn't do anything.
"Sorry for interrupting your conversation, but I just happened to hear about your situation, and I must say it is indeed a terrible predicament, but don't worry I, the gracious ruby, would gladly join your party," Ruby said in confidence as she proclaimed her statement, both Eira, Aries, and Natty first thought of this girl was that she was a complete idiot.
"She's an idiot, but maybe this can work, I mean, I'm not sensing any strong magic coming out from her, so she is completely weak. I guess she will just fill in the space in the team." Eira said to herself as she stared at Ruby with a serious expression.
"I've decided she will be perfect, I guess you will be filling in the last spot," Eira said to the others as she walked away, not giving anyone the chance to refuse. At the same time, Aries and Natty looked at Eira with a pissed expression.
Meanwhile, the crowd outside was going wild, and everyone couldn't wait for the festivities to begin.
"Hello, Obsidian city, ARE YOU READY!" The commentator yelled as the crowd went wild
"Welcome to the Exam festival !" the commentator yelled as he hyped the crowd up.
"The Exam festival is a festival that is held every year to determine's The student's rank, and in each festival, three important figures of the index world will be the judges of the festival...… And this year our judges are the head of the Araiel clan, a prestigious group of elves, and his name is Christopher Ariel !!!! He is also the Owner of the most famous tech company in the world, S.O Corp...….. Our second guest is a member of the 13 Vampire emperors And his name is Blanc Noir...… And our Third and final guest is The Amazel's clan rising star. They are also from the angel blood. His name is Persia Nelroid !!! And he is also A member of the 3 Alliance." And as the commentator introduced their guest, the guests all sat down on a special seat that was made for them.
"Now let bring in our contestant" the commentator said as the waiting room in which all of the student's were in began to elevate some of the teachers were using Earth magic to control the room because the waiting room was directly under part of the huge arena and so the ground split open as the room appeared above ground and immediately the crowd went wild at the sight of their entrance the student's on the other hand were getting pumped at seeing millions of people in the stadium and at home watching.
"Whoah i'm getting a little bit anxious," Tristan said as the sparkling lights of the stadium glimmered in his eyes
"Well, Tristan, in this contest, I'm gonna beat you !" Malachi said with confidence while smiling at Tristan.
"Why aren't we teammates?" Tristan asked as he was worried whether both of them would fight again.
"No, not like that, I mean.... well, aside from the match, we have personally stood out from the crowd and proved we deserve a high rank," Malachi said with excitement in his tone as Tristan looked at him in awe.
"You see, you need to prove you're the best, and if you can't, then you came here by mistake.....so Tristan, if you want us to continue being friends...…. Outshine tonight right here in this festival..... Prove to everyone you're not just a low ghoul...…besides we trained really hard." Malachi said as he stretched his hands towards Tristan as the full moon illuminated the scene at the same time Tristan felt as if something was unravelling within him.
"What is this feeling?" Tristan asked himself as he didn't even realise he was smiling right now
"Yeah, I'll prove to the world that I am a ghoul, will be so much more than a servant," Tristan said with a serious expression on his face and excitement.
"That's the spirit," Malachi said, and at the same time, a boy with silver hair with golden strands, who also had light green eyes, his name was OS, the son of Christopher Araiel, smiled as he watched the two in conversation from within the crowd of students.
"So you're Malachi and Tristan, what a very interesting site ...…. I guess I take my time in messing two of you up...…. Smokez, shadow, get ready, we're going to have some fun soon." Os said as the two figures in cloaks bowed behind him.
