Welcome To the Exams

"Hey little girl. Watch where your going."

I look up to the meat head that shoved passed me. "Oh I'm sorry. Am I hurting your fragile ego being here while I'm so young?" He glares at me but he slightly looks up and stops dead in his tracks.

"D-dont want no trouble sir. Please forgive me." I look behind me and see a lanky boy holding his mage book in hand. It was sky blue with a plus sign, meaning he must be a healer. Though I don't know why a knight type guy like this meat head would be scared of this scrawny healer.

"Stop pestering this fine young witch and scram."

The meat head glares at me one more time before looking back up at the boy and walks away, mumbling under his breathe that I'm not worth his time.

I turn to the boy and he smiles at me, "Hi I'm Lucas, nice to meet you."

"I'm Rin, I'm a gifted witch."

He gives me a big grin, "I'm a really gifted healer! You know I'm pretty well known?" He says, flexing the muscles he doesn't have. I can't help but giggle at him.

"How are you well known when your a newbie to the exam just like me?"

"Well I help the weak, when they are being bullied." He laughs nervously, "N-not that your weak!"

"But, I am basically known for my healing spells and buffer magic. I know some pretty hard hitting offense spells too." He puffs out his chest like a peacock showing off and I can't help but burst out laughing.

Lucas rubs the back of his neck awkwardly and laughs softly too. "Oops I guess I should've been less boastful about my skills..."

We both laugh quietly as Lucas leads me around the hall. We go past people who seem like normal kids, all wearing white clothes, white hats, and white gloves.

"Welcome to the Adventurers Exams, by the way, I know this place inside and out. So don't be afraid to ask me some questions."

I raise a questioning eyebrow to him and he nervously laughs, "I liked to watch the exams a lot when I was a kid...my mom used to take me a lot. She was a great Healer herself. Before she settled down she was a powerhouse. Good in defense and offense. All the great Adventurers wanted her. Not just for their team either."

I give him a kinda disbelieving look, but don't say anything more.

"Ok new Adventurers! Get ready for a challenging day of fighting goblins, direwolves and bullhogs! If you can't fight those basic monsters you will be disqualified. Because if you can't defend against the most basic and low leveled creatures. You won't be able to defend against rogue pirates of other enemies." The announcer scans the room for a pause of affect, But gets mostly bored looks except from Lucas, who looks like he was ready to burst out of his shoes. I smile at him. He's a peculiar person, but I can tell he would make any team pretty good company.

"Ok ladies and gents, get into position. We are about to begin, defend yourselves and the last ones standing, get their Adventurers License. This exam does not end until all the monsters have been slain." He looks for any scared newbies and adds, "We will have expert healers on standby for any examinees that have fallen."

He smiles and with a grand gesture of his hands, he exclaims, "May the urge of adventure and riches propell you to finishing this exam and greatness."

I scan for Lucas and see he's already headed towards me.

"Hey Rin, wanna be my partner? You defend, I heal and back us up?"

I contemplate whether or not to say yes. As yes, teamwork is part of most Adventurers, but most new Adventurers go solo for the exam and a little after the exam. Healers don't stay alone for long, but they try and show their offensive skills in exams by going in alone.

"Are you sure you don't want to go in alone?"

He smiles big, "Nope, I like you a lot and already want you as one of my teammates!"

I shrug, "Sure it would be nice to have a 'well known' backup."

He frowns at his notice of me teasing him about earlier, but it comes back as he realizes I still said yes.

We both stand on the platform, waiting for our cue. I watch as Lucas takes a deep breath, as if he's preparing himself. I wonder what he wants to prove himself. Maybe he wants to be more than a 'well known' healer in the exam.

"Here we go." His voice seems to shake a bit. I give him an encouraging smile, just as the bell rings and they let out the monsters. I rush in without hesitation just like the rest of the contestants.

I look behind me and there's Lucas right behind me, a little too close, like he's worried he'd lose me in the fray, but Adventurers don't get one on one things or none reckless brawls and fighting, because an Adventurer adapts to one on one or an all out brawl where, you watch out for your team while focusing on multiple targets. that's why mages and witches have a good chance at becoming an Adventurer.

I blast a bullhog with a mid level fire spell, setting it ablaze. There, let there be more chaos in this brawl.

I next use my materializing magic to conjure a bow and arrow and shoot 4 direwolves that were about to pounce on some newbie knigts. After finishing this, I turn to my new partner to find he's taken down several direwolves. His eyes are wide and his face is full of determination. I smile to myself and go to finish them off. I conjure an axe, recklessly swinging it around cutting into many hogs, wolves and goblins. I can't help but smile dementedly, more chaos my body tells me. My hair lifts with the friction of my chaotic magic and without single thought pinpointed where all the rest of the remaining monsters were. I lift my glowing hands and spikes launch out of the earth around the arena, stabbing and slicing into the last remaining monsters.

"who is that girl Sir?"

"I think it might be that one legendary psychotic witch that causes chaos wherever she goes. What's her name? Lilith, I think."

"That's HER daughter! we should've made her fight alone, she coulda hurt a lot of new recruits!" The head of the Adventurers guild smirks at me as he says to his advisor, "Crazy little bag of chaos. I wondered why she stopped showing up all these years."

Everybody blinks and boos as they see it was I who had taken down the last of the monsters. I smile nervously, "Hehe, sorry. I couldn't help myself."
