《Another Death》Chapter 8 - The Entrance Exam Begins

"I am getting close to the city, about 200 meters left" thought Andrej while wandering through dirt roads and corn fields, sweat pouring from his head.
"It's been around 9 minutes of walking now, i should be near soon" he continued thinking until he saw a house in the distance, which was a sign that he was nearing his destination, so he quickly ran forward until he hit into a wodden sign, when he looked up he saw the writing on the sign said "Drvengrad" or the wooden city, and he knew that he was at the right place, so he quickly hurried to the center of the town, where he found the town's number one attraction, a wooden statue of the ancient hero Jurij Malchatov, which was reinforced with magic so it doesn't burn, and for which the town got it's name.
He waited, the cart ordered by the association was running late, which made him and about 5 others frustrated, he guessed they were also candidates, until 10 minutes after the cart finally came, it was made from deep black wood and two horses were tasked with pulling the cart, he entered the cart, which was equally luxurious on the inside, and he sat on one of the comfy benches, until a man approached him.
"Good morning. Are you Andrej Antonov?" the man asked calmly.
"Good morning. Yes i am"
"I heard you are one of the more talented from this area"
"Eh, now" Andrej replied nervously.
"No matter, we are departing in one minute" The cart departed, and it was a 30 minute ride from here to Drenograd, and Andrej spent the whole ride looking outside of one of the cart's windows, enjoying the calm scenery that the Beodor Kingdom had to offer, in no time they arrived in the capital, and all of the ride's occupant were equally impressed by the city's vast architecture, many people elegantly dressed walking and talking with eachother, many statues of heroes and legendary beasts, the beautiful royal palace in the center of the town, and finally, the towering arena, the center of all the kingdom's entertainment, and the place of the practical portion of the entrance exam, there was also a written test, but that took place in the equally grandious Royal School of Magecraft, where only the candidates with the best results could only hope to enroll.

The cart arrived at it's destination, and all the applicants quickly ran out and took their places in a long line formed by all the others who were going to take the exam, so Andrej waited for about 3 minutes before it was his turn.
"Next!" yelled a woman's voice, and Andrej came forward.
"Name?"
"Andrej Antonov"
"Here" she said while giving him his number plate, on it it simply said "129" he took the plate and went into a long hallway, where all of the applicants waited, he walked and looked for a bit, before accidentally collding with another person, who fell to the floor with a quiet yelp.
"Sorry, are you okay?" he asked and stretched out his hand, but then he noticed that the person he bumped was a girl with red hair and eyes, she looked really cute.
"Watch where you are going stupid" she exclaimed before taking his hand and standing up.
"I'm Andrej, Andrej Antonov, and you are?"
"Anya Gavrilova" she said "By the way what is your number?"
"129, what about you"
"Oh so it's not you"
"What?"
"You are not my opponent"
"I'm kinda glad that is not the case"
"Yeah, me too, you look strong" she said.
"Well, i wouldn't say that eheh" he said a little flustered.
"Next battle. Number 76 Anya Gavrilova and number 47 Mateja Kazinski"
"Uh oh" she said and started shaking.
"Now now, don't be nervous, go and show them what you can do!" Andrej said encouragingly.
"Okay okay, i know" she said and hurried to the arena, there she was face to face with her opponent, but she was so nervous she couldn't think properly.
"You can do it Anya" Andrej encouraged her.
"T-thanks" she said quietly.
"Hey you" a harsh voice broke
her out of her nervousness.
"Yes?"
"Are you ready?"
"Mayb--"
She couldn't react properly, as a large figure instantly appeared before her and went to strike her.

Mechanical Friend The wonders of every therapy machines
Enter the attention of the spiritual world of having a car and what it means when it is seen more than just a car. It is a lot of things. Cars are more than just a mode of transportation to get from point A to point B. Ever since I was a kid and grew up with my family driving in our 84 Buick Regal, I knew I had some sort of special understanding with these vehicles. I know many of you out there have communicated with your vehicles in one fashion or another, but with me personally, Ive always understood and heard the soul of these classic cars. Its made me feel more empathy and understanding of some of the situations they get in, but also understand the joy they feel when they are with whom they call their road partners. When we go to car shows or dealerships, it's mainly for the cars. We don't know what we want or how old we want the car to be. There is a mechanical friend for each of us to learn more about their scientific background. This takes the reader far beyond the facts of what the car breed is. Everything has a spirituality side of it. A Tao; The Tao or Dao is a Chinese word signifying the "way", "path", "route", "road" or sometimes more loosely "doctrine" of cars. If we are looking for a classic car tht we dream of then the message is "Having an old American car is that it doesn't have to be very pretty. It's a satisfactory pleasure of building it and getting together to talk about the American classic, muscle car or not, it's how you connect with others into a community that holds together community. It is much safer to be riding around in a standard classic car from the 60s an 70s because you are aware of your responsibility driving it plus if you're hit, the armor protecting you is the car itself with no huge lethal damage to the car or yourself" Others' tastes are going to be different and unusual.but it is best to find what cars are going to say when we bond with them in every day in all the ways possible. This book teaches how to connect with the vehicle and how to detect gender energies within the machine and waht the machine can do for you.
