Chapter 626 Frozen Still
"What the heck, I thought we were going to see a fight between the Demonic and Dark students, what happened there, he just stood there, as if he had wet himself."
"Why did he just stand there, wouldn\'t it make sense for them to take out the competition? If he injured him or beat him, then it would be one less person to worry about and more crystals for them to gather."
"Yeah, and that was the guy in the Demonic Faction that had done nothing as well. What was that reaction? I thought that student from the Dark Faction was one of the strongest after we saw what he had done, so why was he so scared?"
Most people were disappointed that they weren\'t going to see a battle between two talented students, but the question had brought up a few to think about what had happened earlier as well.
"Isn\'t it the same… isn\'t that the same thing that happened with the beast as well? The beast was charging toward that student, and then stopped when he got close and now it happened again."
"What are you saying, he can just stare his opponents into not fighting him?"
"Wait, but he\'s right, maybe it isn\'t so much of a coincidence as we think it is. Why is no one willing to fight that person?"
An air of mystery was appearing over the contestant known as Jake, but the crowd didn\'t follow him too much, because with him just walking through the maze, they didn\'t expect much from him.
Mada lifted his hand in front of him, and he could see it was slightly shaking.
\'After all the training I did, I still can\'t face him properly. Ricktor told me to fight him no matter what, otherwise, it would look suspicious, but my body, it wouldn\'t even listen to me.\'
\'What is that kid… what is the difference between me and him?\'
With this thought in his head, Mada had to forget about the incident at hand, and before he knew it, he was running in the opposite direction away from where Raze had gone, looking for more of the Charging Rats.
In the crowd itself, a particular group.
"What do you think of that student, what trick did he pull?" Marcus Ford asked. One of the groups that were currently present that had been told to arrive from Alter.
"What I saw was like a beast knowing what they were heading into, they could feel the danger," Tanya answered. "In the wild, those that stand their ground or make themselves look bigger could scare other animals away."
"He had to be doing something like that."
"I would guess the same," Barlan, the mage of the group, added. "When coming to this world, I have had the exact same thing happen. A beast came towards me but when realizing my magic, or even moments before, it was as if the beast could sense it."
"Oh, so then do you think he\'s like you?" Marcus asked.
"Like me… as far as I know, there are no mages in the Demonic Faction, at least not like the others, if there was, I\'m sure we would have gotten the order to confront them."
At that moment, Marcus lifted his hand in the air and made a type of gesture.
"Keep on the task; we need to see if we spot anyone. We can ignore the students for now. Although I am interested in this whole thing."

The special mirrors were constantly moving around the maze, there was one that was always at a Bird\'s Eye view, and others that were following each of the contestants so there would never be part of the action missed.
At the same time, although the crowd was making noises when something would happen once in a while, the announcer was careful to say a few things that would stir up the fight further, and the enthusiasm in the students rather than give them too much information.
For instance, when the two members of the Light Faction clan members had met up, the announcer didn\'t state anything, as it would be too much information he deemed.
However, there was something that had occurred, and it was a first in this event.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like we have the first in the group to obtain a power stone, and is leading this event!"
The mirror had switched to showing, Ricktor holding onto the dead body of the Charged Rat. He had the crystal in his hand as well. As for the rest of the scene around him it was a complete mess.
The walls were partly destroyed, the ground as well. It was quite clear that a lot of effort had occurred in order to catch the Charged Rat and it had worked.
"These things aren\'t difficult to beat, but one has to conserve their energy as well in case they run into the other contestants," Ricktor said as he threw the dead rabbit behind him.
Then he could see part of the walls that had been destroyed, in front of his eyes, it was all returning back to normal. The wall was morphing the broken parts as well as the floors.
\'The wall, it solid in the first place, and it\'s being healed rather quickly. A lot of effort would be used to break down a wall, and what\'s the point if you don\'t know what\'s on the other side.\'
"They\'ve thought this event through quite a bit… I\'m hoping Mada will be useful and capture some of these things as well."

Beret was searching hard after losing the Charged Rat. He was on his way to find another and prove himself in this commotion. His Clan Head had selected him for this, and in order to not make him regret his decision he wanted to be the reason for them winning.
As luck would have it, when Beret turned a corner, he had witnessed another Charged Rat.
"You\'re not getting away this time!" Beret charged off and had a bigger kickstart in his set compared to the last time.
He was catching up with the Charged Rat fast and saw it take the next corner, as he chased after it, he knew as long as the next turn was a decently long hallway he would be able to get it.
Turning the corner, Beret had his eyes locked into the Charged Rat, and he saw from above, it being pierced by a sharp metal pointy object going right through its body.
"Would you look at that!" A male wearing white-colored clothing lifted up the dead Charged Rat at the end of his rapier. "The Charged Rat just came running right at us, how lucky are we."
Looking in front of him, Beret could see two of the Light Faction students. He clicked his tongue, annoyed that they had managed to find each other in this situation.
"Whatever, if you guys have to resort to methods and take others\' prey then go ahead, I can find plenty," Beret said as he turned around.
"Wait, where do you think you\'re going… Do you really think you can leave?" The Light Faction student asked. "You know, there\'s another way that\'s easy to win this entire event, right… if we were to take out all of the other participants."
