"I have never heard of any death occurring in any of the exams in the past, do they want us to fight till death to enter the Academy? Isn't that a little too extreme? I do want to enter the Academy but at the cost of my death? That is not worth it at all." Said one of the candidates, he was scared of death as even he did not know if he would survive in a death match. So, right now he was unsure if he wanted to risk all just to get a chance to enter the academy.
Just like him some of the other candidates were also showing a sign of hesitancy after hearing the part about their deaths. They started chattering amongst each other, some even backed out as they didn't want to risk dying after all they were here to get strong not to die.
