Feuer included, as soon as his eyes closed, a white mist invaded his son as images started to play, he looked around 'How is it possible that I'm back on 21st Century? Was it all a dream?'
The illusion kept confusing his memory as he saw his parents, Feuer's mother said ''What are you daydreaming, Alex? The movie is starting, you were so excited to see it, right?''
Feuer smiled before he said ''Of course!'' as he started to pay close attention, in a mere instant, he forgot all 14 years he passed on the [Mortal Zenith] world, the movie passed quickly in his eyes as his father approached him
''Champs, the movie was good! I thought it wouldn't be good because I don't like superhero movies but this was extremely good, the actors too, unfortunately, it's time to go home, let's go!'' His father said while smiling lightly before taking his wife and son's hand, the three of them went to the car, however, someone interrupted them.
''Pass all the money and valuable things in your body to me, this isn't a joke, if you don't give it to me, I'll shoot!'' A bandit announced the robbery as he pointed a gun towards Feuer, that stood there, paralyzed, this is the first time someone pointed a gun to him.
Feuer's father gave the money and all valuable things as he said ''Ok, just leave us alone, ok?'' and thought 'If that means keeping my son safe, I would give all that I have, be it money, jewelry or business!'
However, just as he gave it to the bandit, the bandit shoot two times in succession, killing both Feuer father and mother before running away, all that Feuer did was look down as he saw his parent's dead body as blood kept flowing from their body, a gory scene was left around their body and some of the blood spilled on his face ''AAAAH!'' Feuer screamed as tears flew down his face after seeing his parent's dead body.

The image of his parents dying passed on his mind continuously before a crack appeared as a golden glow engulfed everything and turned it to nothing as Feuer opened his eyes, his face completely stoic ''It wasn't a dream, huh? I still feel regret, not being able to kill the bastard that killed you, father, mother...'' he said, somehow, he could control his own emotions right now despite the sadness on his heart.
Then, he shook his head 'I have a new family now, father, mother, I'm sure you're watching me from far and you would be proud of me, right?' Feuer thought as he looked upwards, looking around, he saw that nobody had woken up yet.
''So... how much time passed since I was put on that Illusion, Instructors?'' Feuer said as he looked towards the old Instructor and the Instructors around, all of them had their mouth wide open as they rubbed their eyes continuously.
'They have mental problems, don't they?' Feuer thought as he facepalmed before the old Instructor said ''To think that you broke the record of 10 seconds.... boy, do you realize what you just did? The illusion we used is called [Continuous Nightmare Illusion], it makes someone face their worst fear continuously, the record of someone breaking it is 10 seconds, no one broke it faster than that, you broke that record because you got out of the illusion instantly!''
Feuer felt confused 'Well? It passed like three hours for me, maybe the time flows differently for someone inside the illusion?' he thought as another Instructor smiled slightly ''You seem confused, it's easy, the time inside the Illusion pass different from those outside it!''
''I see... if it isn't rude, who was the one that launched the illusion?'' Feuer asked innocently as an Instructor replied ''Perhaps, are you interested in illusions? Well, the one that launched it was Dean Ben!''

''Oh, it was him, huh... Well, I'm not really interested, I was just curious, so, how much time it usually takes before all 20 get out of the illusion?'' Feuer said as a cold glint appeared on his eyes before it returned to normal, on the Dean Room, a certain person felt shivers and thought 'Maybe there's someone thinking bad things behind my back?'
Dozens of seconds passed as some youngsters woke up and looked around before clenching their fists as they felt happy for passing, a minute passed as the remaining to complete 20 woke up, Luar being included in those, looking around, he spotted Feuer and went near him ''So you passed, that's nice, buddy! Well, which ranking were you?''
Feuer smirked and said ''I was, of course, the first to wake up, anyway, what was your illusion?''
Luar felt embarrassed as he said ''...It was of a giant mosquito trying to bite me, you know, right? I'm terrified of mosquitos, and yours?''
''It kept playing the image of my mother on the coffin'' Feuer said without caring much but Luar patted his shoulder ''No need to worry, as I said, I broke it instantly'' he lied, it's not like he'll go around saying 'Oh, I'm from another world and I saw the death of my past life parents playing continuously!' because it is plain stupid.
The Instructor coughed to get the attention of the 20 youngsters and said ''As you know, we'll be holding an optional tournament to decide the Top 10, if you don't want, you can leave, it won't change the fact that you're now an Aurora Academy student!''
This time, four commoners passed the recruitment which is a shocking thing, however, they knew that they're no match for the 16 youngsters of Noble birth that passed it so they decided not to join, then, the Instructor lifted the Illusion, surprisingly, no one complained of not passing, it made Feuer think 'Did they knocked someone out and threw them without clothing out when they complained or something?'
Little did he knew his guess couldn't be surer, the Instructor then said ''There'll be eight fights simultaneously to make things quicker'' as he clapped his hands and seven more arenas appeared side to side.
Feuer first fight was against a youngster from the Vind Clan, knowing that they're already in trouble, he decided to spice things up as before the youngster could give up, he quickly appeared beside the youngster his crotch, this made his next two opponents give up even before fighting, they knew they were no match and also that they don't want to lose their fertility.
The Top 10 was practically decided as things went smoothly for both Luar and Feuer, they were about to face each other as Luar said ''We're going to fight again, buddy, be careful not to get hurt, haha!''
Feuer didn't say anything, he isn't the kind of person that talks while fighting because he puts complete concentration on it, he just smiled widely as the fight started.

I promise it won't be terrible! :) Whoops, forgot to mention, prologues don't count as chapters! If you've read this far, I might as well tell you what I was inspired by!
