The day of the actual Overall Skill Selection came to commence. Lucas, Moon, Winter, Ghaile and Doll reside at the same spot while everyone are scattered."Only 8 Partic.i.p.ants should be left on the Ground before we end the Selection. Those 8 will be trained and will be the part of White Day"s team for the Tournament."
Princ.i.p.al Lyns instructed the rules of the Selection. Standing in the middle of the whole city-like field. Holding a microphone, she said "It was not a one-on-one battle, nor tag battles.. It was an all-out war!"
"It was like what the Tournament does. Even a group of people can beat a single one if they wanted. They can hide to prevent being defeated, too."
"You can be defeated anytime. You can stand again anytime you fall. But one thing is for sure.. The one who keeps standing until the end will be the one who will be selected!"
Lucas listened carefully despite being nauseous yesterday. He can"t sleep that night, thinking about the danger he felt.

"Five Partic.i.p.ating Orbs are scattered in all of the 5 parts of this virtual city." Princ.i.p.al Lyns continued, holding the peace of orb in front of her. "This was the center orb!"
Everyone watched how Princ.i.p.al Lyns hold the orb with protection. She suddenly struck the orb, shocking the group.
Tremors from the ground starts! It made everyone panicked. "Calm down, everyone!" Princ.i.p.al Lyns calmly said.
The tremors went off.
Lucas and his company can only heave a sigh of relief.
"Destroy the orb, or protect the orb! Those two options can lead into two outcomes of this selection." Princ.i.p.al Lyns continued. "You will found out when it settle slowly as you pick one of those options.."
"Let"s start the Overall Skill Selection!!"
Just as Princ.i.p.al Lyns shouted that sentence, all of the organizers, as well as herself are teleported back to the school.
"Let"s get going." Lucas instructed. "We should win thi—"
Just in a blink of an eye, Lucas was teleported also, somewhere else in the Virtual City.
A voice rang all over the place! "DEFEAT EVERYONE YOU WILL MEET —FRIENDS OR FOES— THEY CAN HINDER YOUR DREAM OF REPRESENTING THE SCHOOL!"
It was Princ.i.p.al Lyns.
Lucas just continued to wander the deserted city. There are average heightened buildings that were looking too old. You can see that with the marks they possessed.
Lucas stepped on the Ground. The smell of the city.. It was strange. He can still smell that he was inside the school.
"I have to find the others!"
He ran off and b.u.mped a young girl!
"Mr. Lucas Martin!!" the girl gasped in surprise.
The two fell to the ground as a result. Lucas sensed the familiarity on the voice.
"Ghaile Deus?"
"Yes."
Lucas stared at the girl. Is he supposed to beat her? Beating a child to win the game? No!
"Let"s find the others, Ghaile!"

In some part of the city, Moon and Winter were walking together.
"This Selection sucks! How can enemies be here in this huge Virtual City?!" Moon shouted in irritation.
Winter just looked at him in contempt. Holding her sword firmly, she pointed it to Moon!
"Princ.i.p.al Lyns said to defeated anyone you will encounter.." she said in a serious voice. "So I will beat you hear and now!"
Moon smirked. The legendary Winter Dawn challenging him for a battle.
The two backed off and stand their ground. Moon prepared his attack, as Winter kept hers, too.
"WRAAAAAAAH!!" Winter ran off, holding her sword and slashed it towards Moon.
Moon unexpectedly evaded the attack by ducking down and kicking Winter"s face in the process.
Winter then speed up, and repeatedly struck Moon with her long, sheathed sword. But Dawn then stopped unwillingly.
Moon looked back to witness Doll, controlling Winter with her Command Spirit. Moon smiled, and soon frowned.
Doll saw Moon, so she strongly battle Winter for him. Summoning a huge spirit in an instant, it rushed through Winter for a chance to beat one of the Three Monsters.
"Giant Spirit! Beat that Winter Dawn!!"
Winter readied herself and jumped up as the Giant Spirit got into her standing ground. She fell back by slashing the Spirit from its head into the most bottom part of it, splitting the Giant into two!
That move shocked Doll, that was struck by a huge boulder from her left side. Moon arrived to catch the girl.
Winter gazed on Doll"s left side, and witness Lucas and Ghaile.
Lucas smiled. "Oh, Moon! Doll! Winter! You"re all here!!"
Moon froze the whole vicinity by his power, hindering Lucas from reaching them. Ghaile and Winter"s feet froze with the ground as well.
But Lucas impeccably melted the ice with his Fire! "Hey, we can team up to defeat the others!" Lucas shouted.
"Everyone"s considered as enemies!" Moon replied.
"Moon.." Lucas whispered.
Suddenly, a loud noise enveloped the whole Virtual City.
"What"s that?!"
"Noisy!!"
Lucas looked into the sky and saw the raging heat of the sun. It suddenly darkened, being shielded by someone.
"It was from The Ender! Everyone, cover your whole body!!" Winter instructed, shielding both Lucas and Ghaile, as well as herself, with his metal shield.
Moon and Doll shielded themselves with Moon"s force field.
"The Ender? Who"s that?" Lucas asked.
"Don"t ask! Just shield yourself!" Dawn replied. "Or else, you will be controlled by that scary Mage!"
