POV Ares ~
As soon as I climbed to the top of that cliff, I sighed in relief and my whole body was covered in dirt as I lay down on the ground.
I spent more than two hours climbing and there was not much time left before the end of the Entrance Examination, so after resting for a few moments I decided to make my move...
I manipulated electricity all around my body to increase my speed and combined it with my movement technique, I believe my speed was second to none if compared with the students my age...
I moved all around the forest in a matter of time and covered most of the forest, and at that moment I decapitated the heads of every candidate that I encountered, not even giving them a second glance and not caring about their headless bodies.
I lost count of candidates that got decapitated their heads by me...
After a few minutes of rampaging, I finally stopped as my soul force was now almost completely depleted, and decided to take some rest and gather some mana in my depleted soul force...
The forest was now shrinking at a noticeably fast pace so I decided to find a spot from where I can observe all the remaining candidates, and not to my surprise I saw a huge tree in the center of the forest and decided to rest there until I gathered enough mana...

Third Person POV ~
Time went by and the candidates were getting eliminated at an alarming rate as fights were happening all around the forest, the huge forest was now turned into the size of a colosseum where many candidates were fighting desperately and the sounds of their fights echoed all around...
And a few minutes later most of the candidates were eliminated and only the best of the best candidates survived...
"From now on the fights will get more intense as all the surviving candidates are strong in their ways" spoke one of the commentators.
And soon proving his words true, the fights now turned into duels between the remaining candidates...Now the screen was focused on the two well-known candidates facing off against each other, they were the Elven princess 'Diana Eliora' and the second prince of the Aloctona kingdom 'Claude Valdemar'
***************
Diana Eliora VS Claude Valdemar
It was a fight between a long-range dealer and the close range attacker, everyone knew who was at the advantage in this fight....and soon their fight started as Diana made her first move,
she shot her arrows at a fast rate not wanting to allow Claude to close the gap, but even before the arrows could hit him Claude disappeared from the place he was standing and soon reappeared behind Diana wanting to cut off her throat and end the fight in an instant,
Sensing the opponent's presence behind her, Diana reacted quickly and dodged his attack, but she was not quick enough as the dagger made a huge scar on her beautiful neck...
"Ohh, you're quite fast for an elf" Claude commented
"Idiot, Elf's agility is higher than that of humans" Diana retorted while rubbing the scar on her neck,
And soon she shot her arrows again while applying her wind element to them continuously, Claude used his movements technique and dodged all her attacks skillfully, the arrows could only hit his afterimages.
As soon as Diana was in his attack range Claude attacked her with his daggers continuously,
Diana moved backward at a fast rate while blocking Claude's attacks with her bow,
Soon Claude disappeared and reappeared behind her and struck again,
But this time Diana rolled forward expecting his attack and turned towards Claude and shot her arrows at a fast pace,
Claude was taken back by her arrows and tried to dodge her attacks using his daggers but after deflecting a few arrows he missed one arrow which hit him on his left thigh...
"Ahk" Claude groaned in shock, though they can't experience much pain in the magical space the stronger the attack the more shock their body will take...
"Bitch, I will kill you" Claude lost his composure and shouted, leaving behind his dignity as a prince...
He was enraged and rushed towards Diana and struck repeatedly while his daggers were covered in his yellow aura,
Diana moved backward while blocking his strikes with her bow but she couldn't block all of his attacks and scratches could be seen all around her body, Diana endured the shocks she received with a pained face and continued blocking Claude's attacks...
Their fight continued for a few minutes and they exchanged many attacks but most of the time Diana was on the defensive and seemed to be at disadvantage,
Soon their fight seems to be coming to an end as they both were tired...
Claude was still attacking Diana more fiercely and Diana was having a hard time but suddenly a cracking sound could be heard during their exchange and finally, Diana's bow was broken into two pieces...
Seeing that Claude grinned and made his move, he disappeared from his place reappeared behind Diana, and went for her throat,
Diana who accepted her fate made a defeated face.... but her eyes widened in shock before she got eliminated,
Diana died not by the dagger cutting her throat but by the sword decapitating her head,
The moment Claude's dagger reached Diana's neck, she saw a blue trail coming towards her at a fast pace, and even before Claude can cut her throat, both Diana's and Claude's heads were separated from their bodies eliminating both of them at once.
It was 'Ares Von Rothstaylor'...
The students and professors and even the people in the VIP room who were engrossed in the duel between 'Diana Eliora' and 'Claude Valdemar' were left speechless,
,m But soon the crowd went wild and cheers and shouts could be heard all around the stadium, mostly cheers from the female audience and shout or curses from the male audience as they saw Diana's head getting decapitated...
Ares who was moving all around the colosseum size forest came to halt in his movements as he saw his path being blocked by an ice field,
Ares focused his attention on the center of the ice field and soon he found the owner of this ice field,
In the center of an ice field, he saw a beautiful girl with blue hair and blue eyes sitting on a throne made of ice with her head leaning on her right hand...
"Livia Frostine" Ares muttered to himself,
Hearing her name a small smile came to Livia's face.....
Seeing Ares and Livia facing each other crowd went wild and cheers of excitement could be heard all around the stadium, even in the VIP room everyone had a face of expectation as they were also excited about this fight,
And soon the face-off between 'Ares Von Rothstaylor and 'Livia Frostine' had begun...
