Chapter 113: The Seth Hunt(6)

When the Babylon Academy was created by the 11 great hero's, they also created 11 rings and created a competition along with it, these 11 rings where then further divided and kept at different protected locations, a person who earned the ring would be given special rights and privileges

Those who earn it in a nutshell are the leader students, giving them rights to officially create their own groups and having higher powers but there is another secret competition, as only one person has the right to earn one ring a new law was made by the 11 great hero's

when there are 11 ring bearers in a single generation, a competition would be created, the winner who stand at the last with all the rings would be named The Babylon King/Queen, that person would undoubtedly be an undefeated ruler of their generation

But is that enough for these geniuses to fight it all to win?, no the winner would also be granted special treasures that was kept in a secret room by the 11 great hero's, treasures which could only be accepted by the one who wins the 11 rings

Even after thousands of years after it's creation this was the first time that all 11 rings has got it's owner but even though the 11 rings were taken out no competition has started as for why.....

"Ugh....if it wasn't for that idiot blockhead unwilling to accept the ring, the match would have already started!"

Angelina voiced out her frustration, the rest of the girls too had hardened expression seemingly agreeing with Angelina's statement, currently there were six girls and 5 boys holding the other rings, yet there was one who refuse to be accepted by the ring

some of these girls could only shake their head in frustration, as they focused back on the screen, an hour has passed since the fake Auther had reached the room, he had dozed off, it's only when a screeching sound was heard did he open his eyes

He could see a door opening as a man walked out, he had a few scratches and there was blood on his body, he limped his body through the door, soon a message flashed at him, he had quickly drowned in the potions given to him, healing him

Quickly after him new people continued to appear, sometime humans, other time demons, whales, beastmens and other quickly started to fill the room, it took a while before about 150 had filled the room, almost a hundred had fell

The fake Auther still leaned to the wall as his eyes traveled to a certain boy on the other side, he had balck hair and red eyes, he looked excited as he looked around the room with determined eyes, Leonardo smiled as he looked around the room, where several of his competitors stood

'So that's him, huh'

The fake Auther's eyes flashed as he looked at Leonardo, he didn't do much as he only looked at him for a moment before he averted his eyes, a few seconds after the last person had arrived, a new message popped up in the room publicly

[Congrats to those who reached the third round!, now the fourth round would begin]

[The world is not a place easy for the weak, one needs, great will, strength, courage and a great deal of foresight for one to reach the top, if you don't have the will then you would only remain average your entire life!]

[Naivety, excessive kindness and a weak will will only lead to your demise, so rise up in this round and show the world that you have the power to be extraordinary, let the fourth round 'The Worlds Will' begin!]

As soon as the voice faded the room starts to shake, all the students quickly looked around the room in stupor, soon the top area of the room split open, revealing a blinding light, the light faded after a few minutes displaying the scene of 5 different staircases descending to the ground

The staircases was plain white, within a few seconds they connected to the ground in front of everyone, all of the students had moved to the back as they gazed up on the stairs, soon the same voice was heard again

[In the previous rounds each of you displayed your adaptability, strength, intelligence, now in this round you should display your will, you inner strenght to move forward in any troubles]

[In front of you stands 5 stairs with a pressure from an Imperial, the higher you walk the more the pressure on you will be making the path you walk harder, only the top 50 who reach the stairs first would move to the last round]

[In this world resources and opportunities are scarce, only the ones who are willing to step on others, only the ones who can move with impenetrable will, only the ones who can move to seize the opportunity for themselves would reach the top, only they are the ones chosen to stand at the top, overlooking the rest]

[So climb!, reach the top and looked down on those below you!]

Each words said by the voice reaped into the hearts of the students who stood at the room, their heart started to beat faster, as their blood started to flow faster, their eyes shined with determination and desire as they looked at the stairs, as soon as the voice had faded all the students started running up to the stairs

The stairs was huge with around 5000 steps, soon the students were climbing above it, at first when they stepped on it, their was a small pressure but as they continued to walk the more pressure descnded on them

'This is.......easy?'

The fake Auther taught to himself as he walked up the stairs, due to the special powers from his bloodline pressures like this don't work on him, his 'aura' will automatically adjust himself to these pressures, so for him be it the first or last step they all felt the same, normal

'Mahnnn this is another level cheating....'

Feeling nothing the fake Auther smiled as he calmly and slowly walked up the stairs, as he was moving slowly most of the students had already moved front but he was not anxious, this was only the first few stairs, once it reach the end, it would be very hard to move up each step

Once he had covered 500 steps, he still felt nothing, but the fake Autrher felt his mind split, well it was not only him, others too had felt the same, it was a mind attack, some which was unprepared was hit with a full force, almost making them faint

This is where the true battle begins, it is not only the pressure that's the students enemies but the hidden obstacles they have to face, this is were the elite and the average are separated
