After they got out of the Woods Keep City they immediately saw Theodore running at the mountain ranges the children immediately keep up.

  Robert immediately jogs at the middle of the group his plan is to not keep Theodore out of his sight while he was jogging at his own pace he realizes that the mountain is pretty stiff their is too much rocks that block your way or places that you have to climb just to get to the other side. After a couple hours of running he look around and there are only half of the children left and they still have not cross halfway of the mountain range.

  Robert thinks that they will have to cross this mountain range for more hours before they can get out.

  Roberts face is full of sweat even though he knew his physic is pretty good but this mountain range is just too steep and required a lot of stamina to cross. When they come across a river some children can't help but stop and drink some river water.

  Theo is one of the children at the back that refuses to give up even if he already knew he has no chance. He just walks and follow the other children that pass him.

  When suddenly he heard a low growl at his back he immediately feel a chill in is spine.

  Whoosh!

  He did not even have time to react when he realized his head was no longer attached to his neck. The other children immediately run when they saw a wolf like beast chewing on theo's head.

  "Aaaaaah"

  "Help"

  "Save me"

  "Everyone run their is a beast at the back!!"

  At the front Theodore prick his ears when he heard some children screams."So it already started" Theodore said with an indifferent face.

  When Robert saw a child run past him he look at the child and saw a face that is full of terror.

  When Robert saw that he immediately realize there is something wrong so he immediately runs faster.

  After a couple of hours of running Robert is confused when he saw nothing was wrong except that there is no more children at the back that is struggling.

  All you can hear is the blow of the wind and the sound of the insects. "Did they all give up?" Robert thought to himself. "It's Impossible all of them give up, there is something really wrong here."

  When Robert saw that one children that passe d him a couple of hours ago. He runs to him and question him when he saw that guy is still terrified.

  "Hey what's wrong"?

  "Be Beast" The boy said while shaking

  "What?" Robert replied with a confused look.

  "There is a beast at the back" The boy said while gasping air.

  Then he immediately run pass Robert like his life depends on it.

  "There is a beast at the back? If so then is all the people at the back dead?" When Robert thought of that he can't help but fasten his pace more.

  But after some time he realize that something is still wrong because if there are beast at the back then the beast is supposed to reach them already because but he still can't see a shadow of the beast.

  "Whatever I will just do my best" Robert said with a determined face.

  As time goes by the children realize that this test is impossible because even Robert has thoughts about giving up.but he just grits his teeth he is already one of the people people at the back and there is 10 people at his front but no matter how he struggle he still can't pass them.

  Until he realize that he is slowly being left behind. Suddenly one of the children shouted.

  "Whaaat is this!?"

  "Aaaah Help!"

  Robert look behind him when he heard the shouting even though he already expected that some beast will attack them. He still can't help but broke out in cold sweat when he saw a wolf like beast the size of a carriage.

  He immediately runs with all his might without caring about his surroundings all he thought about is *Run as fast as you can or that beast will chew you*

  The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  But it is almost impossible to outrun the beast because beast usually is stronger than human at the same realm.

  When the beast was about to punce to Robert it immediately haltes as if sensing something.It just follow Robert at a distance with a hungry look.

  One of the girls at the front observe the beast behavior and show a thoughtful look.

  Robert thanks his 9 ancestor when he opens his eyes and realize that his still alive. But when he saw the beast at the distance observing him. His face turn pale and he immediately runs faster.

  When he saw that the beast did not follow he immediately sigh in relief. Some tears also burst out in his eyes when did not saw Gab, Jonathan or Apple.

  *Did they die?*

  After a couple of hours when Robert feels like his about to faint he thought he was hallucinating because he saw the end of the mountain range and Theodore standing there with his eyes closed.

  Robert just forced his shaking legs to walk because he did not want to end up in the mouth of the beast after a couple of beast attacks. He already realize their pattern as long as you are 200 meters near with in Theodore they will not attack you. That's why when he see Theodore stop he knows that he is finally safe.

  When all of them reach the end of the mountain range Robert look around that there is only 8 of them that survive out of 50 people that take the test. His heart feels heavy when he thought about his friends.

  When Theodore saw Robert cry he said "The moment you decide to become a practitioner you should already realise you will die if you did not struggle, Take this as a lesson"

  When Robert heard Theodore he questions him in rage "How can you say that as if nothing happen you should at least warn us".

  When Theodore heard that instead of a reply he just kicks Robert in the face until he faints "Don't talk to me like that kid"

  "Now everyone get in the carriage and rest."

  While Theodore was walking he added " And also don't forget to carry him".

  When Robert woke up he is already inside a room with another young man.

  "You are really courageous retorting to sir Theodore like that" The young man said with a mocking face.

  "Where am I?"

  "This is the freshmans's quarters your lucky I carry you here" The youngman really don't want to carry him but since sir Theodore already said so he have no choice.

  "Thanks for carrying me, I'm just emotional because of the lost of my friends." Robert replied softly

  "There is some that survive though I don't know if it is one of your friends"

  "Really where are they?" Robert said with a delighted face.

  "their already back at Woods Keep City"

  "Ooh, by the way what's your name?"

  "I'm Alex and you?"

  "Robert"

  "By the way you should go to Red office so that they can officially enroll you"

  "Where is that?" Robert said with a frown on his face.

  "Just ask other people stop bothering me" Alex said with a look of anger.

  Robert is taken aback because alex change attitude so fast.

  After asking so many strangers Robert finally arrive at the Red office. The office looks like a tall pavilion that is painted red.

  At the front desk of the office is a middle age woman.

  "Excuse me can I officially enroll here"

  The middle age woman looks at him "Are you a freshman?"

  "Yes"

  "Okay pick 2 here that you want to study" The middle age woman pass him a paper which list subjects that you want to study.

  When Robert saw the list he immediately knew what to pick.

  "Here I'm done"

  The middle age woman look at Robert's paper which list.

  Herbiology and Martial arts

  The middle age woman have a skeptical look "Not bad but know one usually pick Herbiology because of it's difficulty, Your an ambitious young man"

  Robert was taken aback by the middle age woman's evaluation of him. Actually he only wants to choose those because for him that is the most practical and there is only 5 subjects that you can choose from.

  "Go to the notice hall and look for some available teacher there, now get out I'm busy"

  Robert walk out in daze he did not even have the time to ask where is the notice hall.

  After searching for a few minutes the notice hall is just one street away from the Red office. So Robert did not really struggle that much.

  The notice hall just look like a tavern with full of letters attached to it and it is also packed with people when Robert pick a martial arts instructor he easily pick one because there is many instructors available except for Instructor Troy which already has full slots.

  But when he pick the Herbiology instructor he is taken aback because most of the instructors are full except for one where is no student even enlist in it. Robert also did not want to enroll in that instructor but he did not have a choice. When other students saw that Robert pick instructor Black.

  They immediately look at him with ridicule.

  "Look another labor boy""Hahaha""Good luck tomorrow boys"

  When Robert heard that he just lowered his head and walked out.

  At the back of the academy is where the garden of instructor Black located. Most students don't want to enroll to instructor black because he will just treat you like a labor boy. And you also have to tend to his garden most of the time.

  When Robert arrived at instructor Blacks courtyard where he saw a middle age man drinking his tea while watching his garden. When Robert saw him he assume he was Instructor Black because of his black robe.

  "Greetings sir! I'm your new student" Robert hurriedly walks to the middle age man.

  The middle age man just nods at him and replied "Sit"

  The only rule in being my student is that you have to tend my garden everyday and you can read my books. Remember if I don't like the way you handle my herbs I will immediately cancel your enrollment.

  Roberts face blacken when he realize Instructor Black is not gonna teach him anything. So this is why no one wants to be your student. Instructor black throw Robert a book "Read this book starting tomorrow you will follow it's steps in taking care of my herbs.
