Sol Vestitor: New Age of God

Chapter 24: Monthly Test

After the last accident with temple of Minerva's monthly test, the joint government decides to do the following monthly test in one location so they can concentrate the security personnel in case another accident happens.

This month's test will be done in the newly built colosseum. After the upheaval, there was a lot of building that needs to be repaired or reconstructed, one of them is colosseum which was a football stadium.

Upheaval is what people decide to call that day everything changes, after some debate on the internet, they decide to call that day Upheaval.

Monthly test this time will be a group of ten to fifteen students fighting against an instructor, the students will try to fight against the instructor for as long as they can inside an arena, if they get pushed out of the arena then they can't rejoin the fight.

The test will end when no student is left in the arena or the instructor gets pushed out of the arena.

For this test, every group will be ranked, the first place MVP will be given a chance to get an armament created by the temple of Vulcan, and everyone else in the group will get a weapon customed for them.

The rank will be given to based on scoring how long they survived or how fast they beat the instructor, the number of students in a group also a variable, a group with fewer people will get a better score.

For fairness, every group will fight against an instructor from another school, each instructor gives a different amount of score depend on how strong they are.

Because of Miya's current condition, Sol is the only instructor that is sent by temple of Mineva.

They put him in the same tier as Instructors with bloodline because he was able to kill a creature with bloodline.

"I will be an easy score for the student" Sol lament.

Sol isn't as strong as a Hire, he can't even beat one Heir in a fair fight, he was able to kill the black python because he had prepared a countermeasure against Nerodia which also effective for the python.

Sol can't use his armament for this test, because of safety reasons only wooden or plastic weapons are allowed.

"at least, the instructors with bloodline are also forbidden to actively use their power." Sol comfort himself.

On the day of the test, there is 22 group participating, 2 group from each temple other than the temple of Apollo who doesn't have enough student.

Any student between 10 to 15 years old are eligible to participate, a few temples even sent student with a bloodline to participate.

Every group will take a drawing on who starts first, the group can choose the instructor they will fight, each instructor can only be chosen once.

Because temple of Minerva only sends one instructor so Sol needs to fight twice.

The one who starts first is a group from temple of Mercury, they have two Heir in their group. They choose to fight against the instructor from temple of Venus.

They thought it will be easy as they have super speed to fight against a woman who can only bewitch people. Theoretically, they only need to push the frail woman out in a blink of an eye.

The reality was not so forgiving, the woman stands on the edge of the arena and waits for them to attack her.

When they about to reach her, she ducks under and trips them with her foot. Just like that two Heir are out of the arena, after that 13 students who were left in the arena are beaten under ten minutes.

"Listen, everyone. look at them and learn from their mistake, don't underestimate your enemy and don't overestimate yourself, if you do so, you may end up like them." Sol reminds his students.

After that, the second and third match also a group of students with a few Heir against an instructor with a bloodline, they end up losing as well but with a better result, their fight lasts around 30 minutes.

On the fourth match, is the temple of Minerva's group turn, this group has seven non-humans including Snowy, after the previous match, they decide to fight a normal instructor rather than someone with bloodline.

Their choice makes Sol proud, if their competitor can't beat someone with bloodline with an heir in their rank, how can they win against one without a single Heir.

They choose to fight an instructor from the temple of Diana, he uses a double knife as his weapon, that's the students don't need to worry too much about his reach to much.

At the start of the fight, they attack with three people at a time then move back, so another group of three can attack in their place.

This is the tactic they develop after repeatedly beaten by Sol, with this configuration they won't be hindered by each other but can still make use of their numerical advantage.

Even so, they are still being pushed back, for this they have another plan in place. After a few minutes, they start to use their secret weapon.

While two of them attack one of them pull out a bottle of cold water and pour it on the instructor. Sometimes they hit him with the water, sometimes they missed him.

At first, the instructor takes it as a prank but under the cold weather, it makes him shiver. After some time he starts to actively dodge the water but from time to time they still hit him.

Every time they hit him it makes him more irritated, after 20 minutes of the fight only 7 students are left in the arena.

The instructor is getting more offensive after he gets irritated that they start to lose some members.

Sol's students start to get defensive but they stand on the edge of the arena. On each corner of the square arena, there is at least one student.
