Layne entered the second door to take her test. What awaited her was a stone bridge that was suspended over a deep pool of water. A well-dressed woman was situated on a high platform that overlooked the bridge.

“So what is this?” asked Layne.

The woman replied, “I am Wyra Avins, a G-Rank Hero and a master of archery. I will only be the judge for this match. The one you are to fight is this man before you.”

A man walked out onto the bridge and faced Layne, glaring at her. His body was covered in padded armor that bore the colors of the Hero: white, yellow and blue. He wielded a two-handed sword with a blade that was a head’s width. He strapped on a chrome-plated helmet that covered his face and had a slit for his eyes to see.

“His name is Harry Grimstone, W-Rank Hero. He is the grand champion of the fall tournament. He will be your test. Killing is not allowed. Anyone who kills will be disqualified. If you fall off the bridge and into the water, you are disqualified. If you wish to forfeit, you may do so by saying, ‘I give up.’ Do you have any questions?”

“Yes, as a matter of fact. I have one question,” said Layne smugly. “What if I kill him accidentally? I’ll try my best to hold back, but I can’t guarantee anything.”

“A kill is a kill,” replied Wyra, her eyes narrowing. “You’ll be punished. Is that all?”

Layne was disappointed, but she nodded in reply.

“Very well,” said Wyra, “you may begin.”

Layne drew forth her blade. A ghoulish-white glimmer flashed from its surface. As she waved her sword around, tiny white wisps fled from her sword in the image of skulls.

Wyra looked astonished when she saw Layne’s sword. “Is that a legendary sword?” she mumbled to herself, “I’ve never seen anything like it…”

“Try not to die,” Layne said to the warrior with a vicious smile. Her hair still covered her left eye, but her right eye glared back at him. “I cannot fail Dionus.”

Layne sprinted across the bridge, dragging her sword behind her. With a leap, she launched several slashes down at the Hero. The Hero confidently parried each attack with his sword. After she had slashed fifteen times, she turned her back on the Hero. The Hero looked at her curiously, wondering why she had given up so soon.

“I’ve got you now!” he shouted, aiming to strike her in the back.

But before he could lift up his sword, he felt weak and knelt on the ground. He watched his hands as blood dripped down his elbows. Then he looked at his armor and blood flowed through fifteen new cracks on his chest. His face was distorted with confusion, and from the shock, he passed out on the ground.

Even Wyra, who was carefully watching the match so that there wouldn’t be any cheating, didn’t understand it. With her hawk-like vision, she had a clear view of the fight, yet her mind could not comprehend what had happened.
