Chapter 5 - The maze

Oren's first class was mage training for Oren and he walked into the class, taking his seat at the back of the class, he was one of the first people to reach the class. The class was filled instantly, and the class was about to start, the teacher walked in. She was a beauty brunette with long flowing hair and glowing white skin, wearing a black tracksuit similar to theirs but different because of the stars on her uniform, she was holding a white mug.

" I'm going to be your magic teacher, Miss Zuri and a nine-star mage. The first thing we will do is find out your ranks step up one by one and insert your energy into this orb. As you stand up, introduce yourselves and how many elements you can use" She said, placing a silver ball on her desk and sitting down and began sipping whatever was in her mug

"Kayla Heath, 12 years old, and I have control over three elements: fire, sound and water" She said, she was a beautiful dark-haired girl with glowing white skin she walked up to the ball placed her hand on the ball and it glowed.

[four-star mage] was displayed, and she had a proud smile on her face as she returned to her seat.

"Good talent, maybe I can finally be promoted" Miss Zuri thought, everyone had their turns, and they were all three stars, then Oren stood up.

"Oren Marsh, 12 years, can control the four basic elements" He said, and walked up to the table, placing his hand on the ball. It glowed

[Five-star mage]

*COUGH* Miss Zuri almost choked on her drink as she saw the result displayed, and a face twisted a wide grin appeared on her face. Oren walked back to his seat with all eyes on him.

"Isn't he the same guy with the giant wings" Someone said, and murmuring in the class increased.

"That's ok" Miss Zuri commanded, and the class went silent. Thereafter, a few people went, and the whole class had gone.

"That's all, so let's head to the training yard and test your capabilities" Miss Zuri said, walking out the class with everyone following her.

They reached the yard. It was enormous and everyone stared in awe. Miss Zuri pulled out a tablet and, pressed a few buttons, the end of the yard elevated a little and turned red.

"Now, This is a going to become a maze field and the rules are simple, Kill the most monsters while finding your way out of the maze. But be careful, the monsters can gravely injure you. Once you feel it is strong, just shout teleport, and you will be transported out of the maze with all your points erased. If you can be the first to get out of the maze, you win, no matter the number of monsters the second place kills. Simple as that, and note you only have three hours. Now all of you head to the red end of the yard "Miss Zuri said, everyone complied and proceeded to the end of the yard.

"Maze time! Ha!" Miss Zuri laughed, as she pressed a button on the tablet, the rumbling, and the maze arose.

"Let's see what five star has for me," Miss Zuri said, the tablet had a video of Oren in focus. Everyone went their ways, some forming groups and splitting to cover the maze, and it were only two people left, Oren and Kayla. Kayla walked up to Oren with a smile on her face.

"You want to form a duo?" Kayla asked, Oren looked at her and shook his head.

"Thanks but no, I would rather not waste time in this maze" Oren said.

"Won't it be faster if we work together, but it's your choice" Kayla said, and she ran off

"Hmm, what's your plan kid" Miss Zuri said, she started closely and him utter words she never thought she would never see for a while.

"Dark nix wings, Spread!" Oren said, his large wings sprouted from his back. Miss Zuri's eyes widened.

Oren flew into the air, looking around. He saw the exit of the maze, studying the passage for a few seconds and descended, his wings closed.

"Damn, I see what Lord nix meant" Oren thought, before he sped off at an amazing speed.

"You are on the right side track" Oren said, as he blitzed past Kayla making a right turn.

"GR AAH" A plant monster came out of the maze. Oren grabbed, disintegrating it, and he was surrounded by a batch of monsters.

"Cremation" Oren said, the monsters caught on fire and continued running. He destroyed monsters on his way towards the exit, some people tried to follow but were ultimately left in the dust. Oren was on the final path to the end, a plant monster with giant thorns for a body and a gigantic mouth for a head stood in his way. Thorns came out from all sides towards Oren.

"Mud ball" Oren was immediately enclosed in earth from the ground which protected it from the thorns, but the banged against the ball leaving a few cracks.

"Wind and fire Barrier" Oren said, it broke the mud ball into a flaming ball of wind with an outer layer of fire. The thorns made contact with the flames and were burnt off.

"CRAAAH" The monster screamed in pain and anger and even more thorns rushed at Oren

"Pressure slash" Oren said, water flew at crazy speed, decapitating the mouth from its body of thorns and the throne heading for Oren dropped and wilted. Oren then walked out of the maze with a proud smile on his face.

*CLAP* Oren could see Miss Zuri at the exit with a smile on her face.

"Wow, you finished faster than anyone could even scream for help" She said, then someone appeared by her side with a horrified look and a few bruises. After a few minutes, more people forfeited and no one had finished the maze yet. After about an hour later, Kayla emerged from the maze.

"Congratulations Kayla you are the second person to make out the maze good work" Miss Zuri said, Kayla looked around she saw Oren behind Miss Zuri and her face fell. The time was up and only ten people out of sixty made it out of the maze, with 23 forfeiting.

"Oren Marsh was the first to finish the maze and the most kills he has earned a total of 1115 points.

Kayla Heath came in second with 300 points and there were three third place Tyron Alexander, Drake Findley and Bucky Clarke with 265 points each. That's all. If you didn't win, and you gave it your all, you need to do better, and it's almost time for your next classes. Dismissed" Miss Zuri said, then walked away.

"Can't wait" Oren said, as he headed towards his next class with a creepy smile.
