Capítulo 27: First Magical beast kill

"Lisa, the task here is survival, in any fight that we come across, keep your Mana expenditure to the minimum, we wouldn't want to run out of energy before the time is done, when you use powerful spells ensure they hit the target," Ezra advised Lisa.

He then turned and faced the Leo, he looked at him with dead cold eyes and then spoke. "You, you will come with us, I believe that three is the perfect team number for our current situation. Still, remember, this is an exam, any advances towards my sister would spell your immediate disqualification because I will end you there and then" Asher threatened.

Leo subconsciously took a step back in fear, he looked at Ezra and could tell that he was dead serious. He nodded his head slightly in agreement, not like he had a choice, his mind and body told him that Ezra was very powerful, more than him.

With that out of the way, they could set off, Ezra stood, he looked around, seeing the small amount of students that remained. These ones seemed to be smart enough to make teams.

But still, at that, he could see that they lacked other understanding, like the fact that some formed groups up to eight and ten. When a faction was this big, they would need a definite head, in other for them to cooperate that is.

These candidates mostly felt like young prodigies, they wouldn't want to allow themselves to be led by someone out of the blue, and their ego and pride wouldn't allow it.

Ezra very much knew that if this survival was going to be hard, then the cooperation of the teams would break into nothing when they were set on the pedestal, they would crumble like a house of cards.

This was why he opted for the three-man crew, and also with people that he relatively had an understanding with. Though he had only met Leo some days ago, he at least knew him more than anyone here.

Ezra looked around for a bit, then pointed in a direction. "We have to move out, does there look like a good place to head towards?" He asked nothing of them.

Leo and Lisa looked in the direction he pointed to, it was all forest so they couldn't tell the difference.

"Let's just go, any choice is okay," Leo said.

They headed in that direction, leaving the last few candidates behind, they walked in a subconscious arrow formation, with Ezra at the forefront, being the tip, while Leo was to his left and Lisa to his right, only a few steps behind.

As they walked through the forest, their feet crackled on the dry leaves, sticks, and twigs breaking under the weight of their steps.

Growl,

A subtle yet threatening growl resounded, causing them to pause. Ezra tightened the grip on his scythe, he immediately used shadow perception, so that he could detect the shadow of whatever made that sound.

In less than three seconds, he found it, a magical beats-like figure was hidden behind a thick bush, it lay very low, its eyes locked on the team of three.

Ezra had located the beast, but it was yet to know that it had been found out. Ezra had to use this to his advantage, he had to make the best of it and deal with it effectively.

"Hey listen up." He whispered just enough for Leo and Lisa to hear him.

"There is a magical beast in the thick bush to my left, it has its eye on us. Don't panic, don't act out of character, play it cool or you die.

We have to draw it out before it can react, I have a method, but I need both of you to ready your most powerful attack-type spells and deal enough damage."

The plan was simple, but it would work if executed properly.

Lisa and Leo nodded in unison, they had no objections. Ezra bent down on one knee, making his palms touch the ground on both sides, he watched the beast closely with his shadow perception.

He took a deep breath, and then in a split second, shadow tendrils shot from the tip of his finger, flowing along the ground like snakes, they entered into the bush, and grabbed hold of the beast.

"Yes!" He celebrated, but it wasn't done yet, he had to be fast, he controlled the shadow tendrils to throw the beast up into the air toward them.

As the magical beast came out of the bush, its form was that of a big cat, but with a center horn. It was black with white stripes on its body. It was at least a meter long and had metal-looking claws.

When the beast was up in the air, Leo stepped back in fear, but Lisa didn't flinch, she took a step forward and cast her spell.

"Fulgur Blast!"

The snake-like lightning shot and hit the beast square, causing it to wail, the force threw it higher into the air.

Leo saw this and clenched his fist.

'She made her move very fast, while I stepped back in fear, there was no way her brother would let me date her, no I have to fix that.'

"Glacies Spiculum!" He bellowed out his spell, and a spike made of ice formed in front of him and shot at the beast, impaling it through the abdomen.

The beast wailed loudly, and dark red blood spurted from its mouth. The eyes of the beast rilled back, it was surely going to die.

"Now to finish it off." Ezra slashed his scythe, firing a shadow blade, it cut through the next of the beast, going right through.

[You have gained ten shadow energy]

The beast would have died regardless, but Ezra wanted the shadow energy that would come from it, so he landed the last attack.

The corpse of the beast fell to the ground with a loud thud, the head rolled away for a good distance after a while it broke into particles of light and disappeared.
