《Yuu- The Next God Of War》Volume 1 Chapter 3- Entrance Exam
Advertisement
We entered a huge stadium in the outer arena. Above us stood three Gods who would determine our futures. The thought of three Gods not knowing a single thing about us, deciding on our performance, filled me with fear and pressure. I didn't know if I could do this or not.
The first was known as the God of all Gods in Heaven, Zeus. His frightening glare turned on us. We could feel his intense magical energy surging through his body. Even with that white hair and beard, no one could guess how old he was.
The second God's beauty was boundless. She was the goddess of love, Aphrodite. Even though her beauty was overwhelming, she was the most skilled at assassination. That long, pink hair and eyes belied her true nature. She was easily able to infiltrate hell and kill Hades' son Zagreus.
Finally, there was the God of the Sea, Poseidon. He had blue hair and eyes like the appearance of water. Most information about him was kept a secret, except it was said that he defeated Ares in the Tournament of Gods. Every single God is a Supreme Kai rank, which is the highest rank to achieve in Heaven.
The Goddess Of Love stood, giving the boys a wink, she gave all the girls a stare.
"Welcome everyone, to Nescoon! We are thankful that you chose us out of all the other schools in Heaven. We truly appreciate all of you taking the time to join us. I'm truly happy to stand here before so many talented students who will, without a doubt, pass the ex--"
"Cut the crap, Goddess Of Love, let's be more realistic about this."
"Stop butting into my heartwarming speech, Little Poseidon".
"How dare you bring up that night?! I should kill you right here as you stand, you no good demon!"
"Calm down, Little Poseidon. You're making a scene. Can't you see all my fans are enjoying my beautiful speech?'
"There are few things more beautiful than your speech, Aphrodite."
"See! Of course, Zeus would be such a dear. You should be more like him, Poseidon. Maybe that might increase your maturity, including the size down there."
"That's it! I'm done with all your stupidity. If you want to give your speech then do it. Let's see if anyone else will care."
"Wow! For Gods that are meant to be our inspiration, you'd think they would act more mature for their ages."
"Did you mutter something about my age?!" The Goddess Of Love asked

"No, Miss." The stranger responded
"Oh, okay."
"Now, as I was saying to you handsome boys, today is the best you bring out your wings and fly together."
"That's it, I'm talking. Let's cut to the chase and explain why not all of you will make it. The reason there are far too many of you, and we don't have enough space for all of you. So, In order for us to shorten the amount, we set up a few tests for you to enter this school. If you think you're unable to handle the challenges that await you, leave now or stay and face your fears."
"I think they're getting the message," Zeus said
"What should we do in order for them to get the message?" Poseidon said
"The ultimate price."
"You're not saying the God form, right Zeus?"
"The God form of Aphrodite, naked!"
"Yes! Wait, what? You got to be kidding me. You're here thinking of people naked while we're meant to be the inspiration for these kids!"
"First comes love than kids, Little Poseidon."
"You too, Zeus?! After all, we've been through, I thought we had a strong relationship. What happened to bros before hoes?"
"Little Poseidon, I'm not saying there is anything wrong with being gay, but are you gay?" Zeus said
"No, of course not."
"That would explain why that thing is so small. Did that transgender plant not work out for you?" said Aphrodite
"If you two say one more word, I will kill you both."
"Little." Zeus Said
"Poseidon," Aphrodite said
"So, would you both like to drown to death?"
"What happened to 'we're the inspiration for kids?'"
"...you do the talking, I've had enough of both of you being immature." Said Poseidon
"This really brings back memories. If only Azazel and Hades were here to join us." Zeus said while all the other Gods fell silent.
"Now, as you have all been informed Little Poseidon. There is not enough space for all of you to make it into this school. So, we thought of an exam suitable for every single one of you. The first test would be based on if you're worthy enough to hold a Zoldier." Zeus said
"What is a Zoldier sword?" a person shouted in the background
"Zoldier is a celestial weapon design to kill all things. Only angels can wield a Zoldier weapon. But don't start thinking that means we have an advantage over the other clans. They also have their own celestial weapon, and some of them are stronger than our own! A celestial weapon is able to erase a person that is already dead from existence." Said Poseidon

The crowd surrounding me excited and going nuts about the fact that they can hold such a powerful weapon. All the noises and excitement disappeared off their face, once Zeus strikes a massive thunder on the ground with a sword stuck in a rock. Calling us by our first and last name. Every single person that went to grab the sword of the stone, not one single person failed or struggled on this show.
My name about to be called right after a student named "Natami Neptune". He walked up towards the centre of the stadium, showing no sign of fear or failure. The girls starring at him, while the boys golf their teeth tightly. He was known as the bless boy who was able to awaken his wings at such a young age. Trying not to blink as he put one hand onto the sword that is stuck tightly on the ground.
Taking a deep breath as he increased the level of Zen Dou Li energy. The ground shaking with a huge pile of water beaming up into the sky. His aura and appearance similar to the person in my dream, could it be that I've found my soulmate? Staring closely at him from the distance as he pulled out his sword.
A metal steel sword with blue lines flowing through the sword. Forming a bond between him and the sword. You can feel the incredible amount of power flowing inside him. The fifth student achieves the highest class of Zoldier out of 201 students. The students talking about if he could be the strongest one here. They were debating if he could be in a higher clan than Katio, who was said to be the most powerful child of his generation. Zeus standing, the crowd went silent as he reads out the next name.
Zeus shouting "Yuu Oxain".
"Yuu Oxain? I know him, he is the worst one." One person said in the background while laughing. As the rest remembered who I'm, almost all of them started laughing.
"Hey worst one, what happened to your magic?"
"I remember the time you bullied me, I can't wait to fight you once no teachers are around"
"All big talk, but no action, the worst one!" As they all kept on repeating 'the worst one'. It was hard for me to think and focus right. Even though they all shouted at me to give up, and try to full me with memories of the past. I showed no fear or signs of failure of the child I once was. My complexion remained pale, and my eyes were steady. I let out an bored sigh to show I wasn't afraid. Grabbing the sword with one arm, I couldn't seem to pull it out. The crowd marking me as I still struggled to pull the sword out with both my arms. I don't know why, but my legs felt weak and my arms felt heavy. It felt like all my magical being drained out of my body. People laughing at me, instead of with me, I couldn't understand why I can't lift the sword up.
I was mortified, frozen to the spot. I felt traumatized. I couldn't believe it what is happening to me, and it was in front of everybody too. I stood to soak in the cruel laughter, my head beginning to spin. My knees going down on the ground as despair pushed hope away from my memory. Still having a bit of hope left, my mind was clouded with despair.
About to give up, something sparked inside of me. Hearing Lucy give me strength by filling me up with confidence. I felt something strange inside of me. My chest glowing, I felt so much energy going through me. The crowd going silent once my power beamed through the sky, while my body floats above the ground. My cheat forming a hole and a sword coming out of it. Infront of me was a heavy, dusty, stone sword with red lines beaming straight down the rock surface. Having a wide surface, the God couldn't even identify what tier it was. The crowd going bursting out with laughter, mocking my sword and the in the past. With all the power surging through me, with one stare I turned them all quiet. A few people looking impressive and some with hatred in their eyes. Did I start a war or did I start new friends?
"The point of the first mini test was to see if you guys were worthy enough to wield a Zoldier sword. Now for all of you that are disappointed on the tier of your sword, remember how you felt that day. The day where you welded that sword with disappointment knowing you could have done better. But don't think of it too much because the real entrance exam, has only just BEGUN!"
