Arc 10

Trial Tower

==========

The first years warrior class had about 20 different teacher depending on the students.

Neo , Fayn and other advance first year warriors were appointed to Mr.Bui.

On average there is atleast 120 to 200 students per class , while atleast half of the first year students were warriors and Mr.Bui class consisted of 30 students.

Every classroom has a backyard where the teacher let the students train and evaluate their performance.

At every end of the day , during the last period , warriors and archers has a workout exercise together while magicians would focus on refining their mana within their special classroom yard.

Merchants , traders , explorers and such would have a normal study class for their 4th period.

Fayn-"Neo , let's go side over there"

Fayn points at the middle last column of their class room and sat together.

An 40 years old looking man enters the room , he wore a big red coat and had a long beard.

MrBui-"Students , warriors , welcome to my class , you shall address me as Mr.Bui and for starter , If you complain about my way of teaching , I will show you no mercy and expel you from my class

Do not think I will go easy on you so called Advance warriors because you are still young , even if you were a baby or a embryo , it won't change anything"

Students laugher*

Mr.Bui quickly gave a gaze through the class and they all went quiet.

MrBui-"The other rule , I don't like noises or chatters in my class room either"

Fayn and Neo looked at each other , Neo was relieved that Sven sleep most of the times during the day.

MrBui finally stop blabbering about his rule and everyone understood that they weren't allowed to talk at all...

MrBui-"Today lesson will be about the Trial Tower , now you may all know that the tower consist of 300 floors with enchanted walls , the tower was constructed by the ancient leaders of the Liske Kingdom

The Trial Tower has different wild beast and magic beast on every floors , each interior of every floors are atleast 90 meters wide , getting rid of every beast on the floor will open up a path that will lead you to the next floor

Each floors has a different difficulty , the higher you go the harder it get and there is a times limit on every floors

Floor 1 to 10 has a 2 hours times limit while 11 to 20 has a 5 hours times limit , the higher is the floor the more times you have

The beast inside the tower are just re-animated corpses so they do not leave any crystal behind and will re-animate itself when the floor timer reaches 0

Therefore , If you fail to eliminate all the beast within the given times , the beast will... , let's just say , they have another chance to kill you

And if you do manage to get yourselves killed in the first 20 floors , it will only mean that you were weak andnot worthy at all

Also your parents sent you here while fully knowing that your death will be your own fault for being weak so if you want to leave my classroom , do it now"

Every students were shocked and look at each other.

??-"*What the.. what is wrong with this teacher"

??-"*Crazy...*"

??-"*Bastard......*"

??-"*Lazy....*"

The students all had the same thoughts running through their minds.

Fayn had a serious look but he was more shocked at Neo's expression.

Neo had a cold and dark aura around him , his eyes filled with fury were frozen on MrBui.

Fayn-"*Neo..?*"

Without any hint of emotion , Neo was reminded of his past situation , death and life , those were the only words in his head at the moment MrBui mentioned death is possible within the Trial Tower.

MrBui-"That is why we will be going into the Trial Tower , clear the first 20 floor and you will graduate from my class"

Every students were pissed at MrBui , they looked at him with anger and some with doubt.

Mr.Bui looked at each and every of his students.

MrBui-"*...Not bad.. hmmp only a couple of them are afraid*

The Trial Tower is perfect for those who want to become stronger in a short amount of times but , there is a higher chance that you will die before even reaching your goal hahahahah"

??-"Should I quit this class.."

??-"F***k my parents paid a fortune for my school fees and he wants me to die?!"

MrBui-"Ohohoh angry aren't you ? But let me tell you something , the Trial Tower is not as bad as you think because some floors might have hidden treasures , weapons , artifact or magic tools and whenever you complete all 20 floor will allow you to graduate my first year class , you will be allowed to attend the 2nd years warrior class even if it takes you a day "

After giving them all the bad news , the students saw a small light in MrBui

students-"*maybe he is not as bad as he sound*"

MrBui-"Oh by the way , the 2nd and 3rd advance warrior instructor is me , GUHAHAHAHA"

........

??-"*Oh god*"

??-"*Lucky.....*"

..........

Neo-"*Artifacts...*"

Fayn-"*Weapons... please a magic weapon..*"

MrBui-"Now now , form a team of 3 and head to the tower , you will have a year as a times limit , if you fail to clear all 20 floor , I will kick you out from this entire academy"

Every students were surprised that MrBui was allowed to even expel students from the academy.

Fayn-"*Damn this old fart*"

Neo-"*Hummp..elite teachers...*"

Neo held Sven who was sleeping on his laps and put him on top of his head.

Sven opened his eyes , bored and tired , he quickly felt asleep again.

Fayn and Neo obviously teamed up and looked around for a 3rd person.

The students quickly formed their groups and one student was left out.

It was a fragile looking girl who wrist were so thin that they could snap any times.

Neo and Fayn walks toward the fragile girl.

Fayn-"Hummm... Excuse me miss.. would you like to be in our team?"

the fragile girl looked at Fayn and Neo.

Her eyes quickly sparkles as she sees Sven.

She stood up and move her head slowly toward Sven.

Fayn was really surprised because the girl is taller than him while Neo is smaller than him by a few centimeters.

She had a bright pink long hair and grey eyes with a gentle expression.

??-"Waa... tiger... so cute"

Fayn-"Erm..."

??-"Ah , I am sorry , my name is Fleur and I will gladly be on your team"

Fleur slightly bows her head and smiled at them.

Fayn-"This great , we have a complete team now! My name is Fayn , nice.. to meet you..."

Fayn held slowly out his shaky hand and Fleur quickly shook his hand.

Fleur-"Mhmm nice to meet you Fayn , I seen you during the exam , you are really strong hehe"

Fayn blushed and turns around.

Neo-"Hmmm nice to meet you miss Fleur , I am Neo and this is Sven"

Fleur held Neo's hands and shook it with a big smile on her face.

Fleur-"Nice to meet you Neo! I will try my best not to slow you down *Hehehe I can't believe it , I am on the same team as the cute duo*"

Neo nodded with a smile while Sven is still asleep , MrBui clap his hands and quickly led the students at the entrance of the Trial Tower.

MrBui-"Here is the entrance of the lobby , you will each acquire a tower card that will change numbers depending on the floor you have reached

The tower card numbers will only go up and not down so basically it records the highest floors only and will stay recorded aslong as you are alive"

The students went through the giant green colored metal gates that was guarded by two warriors.

Only a few amount of people were present at the lobby , most of them were 3rd year students and graduated students.

Most of them were here to acquire the rare treasure from the tower while others were here to train.

The tower has many common treasures on every floor while rare treasures are deeply hidden in some of them which make them hard to find.

MrBui led his student to the counter and talks with the man behind the counter.

MrBui-"Lor , bring me 30 Tower cards"

Lor-"Yes sir"

The man quickly goes through a door and return with small silver colored cards.

The students picks up one card from the counter and looked at each other.

MrBui-"Alright , now that you are ready , you will enter with your group and each groups has to wait atleast 2 hours before entering the first floor even if you don't , that magic seal won't let you pass"

As MrBui finish talking , a student raises her hand

MrBui-"What is it?"

??-"Humm... How are we suppose to eat in the tower if were hungry?"

MrBui points at a magic circle that was written on the floor in the corners of the lobby

MrBui-"You just have to use the tower card , it will teleport you back onto the lobby floor magic circle , the teleport takes 30 seconds to cast , it can also be interrupted so I highly suggest using it when you defeat all the beast first and it will take about 10 hours to charge use teleport again"

The groups formed a line infront of the staircase as MrBui instructed.

MrBui-"This tower was made to test every aspect of a warrior , magician and hunters so before any of you complain , just keep it in mind the higher number is the floor , the stronger are the beast or magic beast and it will not be easy to defeat them

Lastly , when I said the floors are 90 meters wide , I was talking about the first 50 floors"

Lor-"Mhmm , the 200th floor alone has a times limit of 4 years.. so do not underestimate every floors"

??-"4 years ... for one floor!?"

??-"How big is that floor?.."

Lor-"..*elite of the elites instructor Mr Bui... poor these children*

Good luck students..and most importantly .. take your times and come back alive.."

MrBui-"Good luck students , see you in a year or whenever you clear all 20 floors"

As soon the first group of 3 guys went up the staircase tunnel , a magic seal appeared.
