Dark Souls

The Spirit Ring Test

After a few days of training with Alex, Aafreda felt she had mastered the technique. Lately Achiel often do exercises with the most powerful students in this academy, while for weak students like him must train their own strength without anyone's guidance. The unfairness in the academy is very clear, but Achiel also often teaches him about the techniques he does in the training. Although Aafreda has not been able to apply the technique well.

Tomorrow was the spirit ring examination, they would be gathered in the hall of the main building for the announcement and rules in that examination. His teacher said that this exam was quite dangerous as the students would be released in the forest filled with wild spirits. Aafreda is unsure if she can return alive tomorrow.

"Aafreda you get the letter" Alex approached Aafreda and gave the letter

A letter? Who gave me the letter, I have no one to write to.

Aafreda took the letter and saw who the sender was, it turned out that it was her mother's name. After a year passed his mother just sent a letter, Aafreda thought her mother would forget this figure of her. Aafreda opened the letter and read it seriously.

Aafreda how are you? I hope you're okay at the academy. I'm sorry new mothers can send this letter because the academy doesn't allow any students to receive any information from their families, but after a long time you can send this letter. Aafreda soon the spirit ring exam will begin, I hope you are always near your sister only she can protect you. Aafreda remembered don't trust anyone in the academy other than your brother and the people you can trust, the spirit ring exam is something dangerous because so many students have died because of the exam. I hope you stay alive and come back home healthy, I'm waiting for you here.

"Have those trials taken so many lives?!" Alex asks the new one to help Aafreda read out her letter.

"You without me telling you to do what I asked you to do" replied Aafreda

"I'm your true friend of course I know your deepest heart, but your mother seems to love you more than your sister. He didn't ask Achiel at all"

Of course I have a bond with Achiel because of Queen BloodElf's orders, but I'm sure she actually loves Achiel but she's too afraid of Achiel's cold attitude

"My mom loves both of us"

"Yes, you are a family that loves each other"

Alex stood up from his seat and stepped towards the bed, he threw down his body while staring at the ceiling of the room.

"Tomorrow is the determination of our lives, however you must survive Aafreda"

"We all have to survive Alex"

The next morning the students began to gather, a noise in the hall rang out in Aafreda's still sleepy ears. Aafreda yawned wide, beside her was Alex who was busy training her plant spirit power. Achiel came closer to Aafreda and stroked her head gently.

"Where have you been?! Not coming home to the dorms yesterday either"

"There were some exercises we had to do, so I couldn't go home and spend the night in town"

"Hmm okay"

What training it is to not be able to go home, I also want to practice being strong huhu why this difference is so significant. The academy is favoritism.

"See everything!!"

All the students immediately looked at the already famous man in the academy, that man was also the one who had already announced their soul division earlier. He was the head of the Spirit Light academy, the most highly regarded person in this academy.

"Today we will carry out the spirit ring exam, of course this exam is followed by loyal students at the elementary and middle levels. You must gather as many spirit rings as possible, and return to be the strongest." Arthur Je Proth, head of the Spirit Light Academy, is an undead noble.

Aafreda shook her head in Alex's words, knowing that what she was facing was a huge obstacle. But Aafreda had to be confident in the strength she had, she must not have the unyielding feeling before facing this test.

"Alright, you guys should separate from here. No rules, killing each other students is allowed. Good luck"

What kills each other?!! So that's what my mom meant by saying that I can't trust anyone but Achiel and the people I trust. It was a terrible test.

From a distance several tool spirit children stared at Aafreda, a boy smiling triumphantly. It's time they act.

Aafreda, Achiel and Alex stared at the forest in front of them. Several groups of students had entered the forest earlier, Aafreda gulped violently, she prayed to the gods to be saved from this terrible place.

"Let's go" said Achiel

Achiel held Aafreda's hand and guided her into the forest followed by Alex who was behind them. Aafreda though unable to see clearly but she felt something visible in her eyes to this forest, many strange creatures flying around them. It seems Achiel and Alex are not aware of this at all.

Is that a ghost? Why am I the only one who saw them, these two people were said to be strong but were unaware of the monstrous creatures floating in this air anyway.

Aafreda broke out in cold sweat when they had just entered the forest and had not done anything, Achiel felt Aafreda's uneasiness he calmed Aafreda down by clasping her hands tighter.

On the other hand Lucius' group was looking for the figure of Aafreda and his group, he was going to kill the blind girl in this forest. Lucius's heartache from the moment the boy entered the academy would not go away.

"Lucius I don't think they've come this far, what if they hide and wait for the rats to come"

"What a good idea you have, let's find a place to hide. I'm not gonna let that blind girl live"

They were looking for a hiding place, Lucius grinned so widely. He was very much waiting for the arrival of the blind girl he hated.

I'm gonna make you die in this shit girl place.

Aafreda, Achiel and Alex had walked deep in the forest but they found nothing at all. As if this was just an empty forest filled with dense trees, Aafreda was astonished that there were not many wild spirits but why there were none of them.

"I think they're all in hiding, they know by our arrival" Alex said

"Can wild spirits have such thoughts?" Ask Aafreda

"They are just like us, and they are stronger and smarter than us, so we must make them into spiritual things"

"Compose!!" Shouts Achiel

Achiel lowered Aafreda's head quickly, Aafreda was shocked by what happened. Suddenly some people attacked them, Aafreda looked ahead and saw clearly who was attacking her.

"Lucius"

"Hallo blind girl, let's play for a while" Lucius said with a grin
