Cole yanked the plug. Sparks jumped; the screen went black. Smoke curled from the port. For a heartbeat, nobody moved. Then, faintly, Damian’s comm crackled. “Thank you for verifying Stage Three,” Carter’s voice said. “Round Four begins now.” The line went dead. ⸻

The grin falters on Luka’s face. I finally speak, my voice lethal with no room for question. “Move, Viktor.” Luka’s grin comes back. I smile to myself. He has no idea what he just volunteered for. *...*...*...*...*...*... The black mat is painted red with Luka’s blood. He’s on his back, blood pouring from his nose, one arm twisted under my knee. My fist is cocked for another strike when his free hand slaps the mat three times in desperation.

She had other plans on a way to Punish and scare him but no! Her Mum came up with this plan. And now this!

Another child of Misaki? " Shin! Are you alright?!" Rookie suddenly appears by my side and kneels next to me. Checking my injuries. I struggle to keep awake. " * Groan* It's too.... late for me.....

Ariana asked between gulps. " Hey... You! You were the one who came to my house last night and knocked me out! You witch!! I'm going to kill you!" she threatened and tried to catch Ariana but fell face flat on the floor, still clumsy. Another round of laughter erupted. " Now I will do the honors," Ariana said as she stood up. " Darren, please have this on video." She said, and immediately Darren brought out his phone. This looks interesting. " This girl over here...." she began, pointing at Tricia, who was still on the floor, " Is snakier than any snake I've ever thrown at Darren!." Darren stopped and frowned.

"The trials have three stages. Combat, strategy, and leadership. We've focused on combat because that's where Selene will try to end you quickly. But today, we're drilling all three simultaneously." Before I could ask what that meant, Dorian grabbed my arm. Not gently, but not cruel either. Testing. "First lesson. In the trials, people will touch you. Grab you. Try to intimidate you with proximity and force. Your instinct from before is to freeze, to submit. We need to retrain that instinct." He was right.

Rivers of molten lava flowed through the chamber and cast an eerie, red glow that painted the jagged walls in flickering shadows.

I just stood there, in the secluded road, all alone as the autumn breeze caressed me gently, reaching deep into my soul. I felt like a diaspora, standing there in the strange, dark valley. Suddenly, all the colours that was in the background and melted together in a bland combination. Everything swirled as I stood there, trembling. Something bad was going to happen, I knew it. The colours that melted together, suddenly, started separating, creating a vague form of shades. Red. Black. Brown. Scarlett. It was like witnessing a mighty artwork unfold in front of me. Shades of red, brown and black diademed the canvas, yet not getting mixed together, as if they harboured misogyny.

I silently thank the Goddess that I kept my thin shirt on last night, too exhausted to pull it off. I notice a scroll on the ground close to my feet. I pick it up, and unfold it carefully, revealing precise, looping penmanship: ‘Step into Trial number three, Where shadows dance and none are free. In forest depths, you now remain, Where strength and wit may bring you gain. The bands you seek are high and bold, Taken from hands now growing cold. Collect the most and rise with pride, Or leave with nothing, cast aside. The final game begins today— Only nine are left to play.

I head to Trial Four staging and mentally prepare for the part I've been thinking about since I read the recruitment details. The Combat Trial. --- Trial Four takes place in the designated combat arena — a flat stone ring forty meters across, barrier formations active, viewing platforms on three sides now filling with candidates who have finished their own trials and stayed to watch others.
