Metal wings of Honor


Chapter two: Exams


"wow this is a lot of people" Oz said while they walk inside the gym while go thru the crowd of senior students that were forming lines to different parts of the gym, each line was for the students to get the paper to apply for the group that they wanted to join while being given the location of the exam for the specific group that they wish to join.

"this is going to take a while" Vincent said in a board tone while putting his hands in his pockets.

"well yea there's about 453 seniors taking the exams, and that includes us" Charlotte said.

"it's bigger then I would have tough" Gilbert said while looking around the gym that was fill whit students that were waiting in there lines for there exams.

"yup, I wonder how many of them are going to make usually about 20 to 35% percent of them end up failing the exams, that's way there is a lot of them taking the exams this year" Leo said while he adjusted his glasses that were a bit crooked.

"I guess that's way there is so many of them taking the exams" Oz said while giving a glance at the other seniors that were retaking the exams.

"just imagine how many people will ended up here again next year, it's just going to be insane" Break said.

"I can already imagine it, the amount of people that are going to ended up taking the exams again because they didn't do there job in preparing for it" Elliot said whit a annoyed tone, he didn't like seeing people that slack off try to apply for group that they wished to join.

"well your right about that, that's way I took all my studies seriously when I first apply to enter the school and when doing the work in the classroom" Oz said as he remember all the hard work that he had to do to make it this far, it wasn't easy trying getting here at all it was seriously hard for him and his friends for the past four years.

"of course you did we all know you Oz, always taking it serious that you always arrive to school looking like the walking dead and it's a bit funny seeing you scare off a couple of freshmen that were entering the school, it was hilarious seeing you scare off does freshmen that ended up running into the school after they saw you" Vincent said as he started to laugh when he mention Oz and everybody else the time that Oz ended up scary a couple of freshmen.

And on hearing that, everybody else besides Oz started to laugh while Oz tried to not laugh about the embarrassing moment that he had live thru.

"men I can't get over that" Vincent said while holding his hand on his chest while laughing.

"ok then can you be quiet now, I don't want to be reminded about that embarrassing moment that I had because I was just studying for the test that we had in our Sophomore year" Oz said while looking away from his friends that were still laughing about his embarrassing moment.

"well sorry but it's just to funny to stop laughing" Elliot said as he was calming down from his laughing.

"calm down Oz, were just teasing you so just lighten up a bit" Charlotte said as she patted Oz's left shoulder.

"well alright then, ...hey guys have you heard about what is going on the news about the two other countries that were just recently attack" Oz said as he change the topic whit something more interesting then his embarrassing moment.

"what are talking about Oz, has there really bean two attacks?", Gilbert said in a surprise voice when he heard Oz say that two other countries were attack.

"yea Australia and Vietnam were both attack just today, it's crazy that they were to be attack just out of nowhere whit out having a single clue or sing of the enemy coming" Oz said to his friends ho has quiet down after hearing his news about the recent attacks that had occur.

"what no way, really" Leo ask.

"yea both of them were attack this morning with out a single warning, they left a lot of damage after they had attack and they also killed a lot people in those attacks" Oz said with a serious voice when he started to remember some of the things that he heard on the news.

"what how many people where killed Oz, did they say how many were killed" Vincent said as he was getting more interested in hearing what Oz had to say about the people that were killed in the attack.

"well from what I heard on the news about one third of the soldiers for both countries were lost in the attack" Oz said.

"wow that most have being some attack if they were able to kill that many people in just a short time" Eliot said.

"wait did they say how they were attack, bombs, ambush, up front assault" Charlotte ask Oz how it was that both countries were attack by the unknown enemy.

"well you were close there for a second but it was actually an missile attack from above, does guys didn't now what hit them until they heard the loud explosions going around there base" Oz said as he mention the way that they were attack.

"really?, they didn't even know that it was coming unit it hit them, that just makes everything about the attackers even more of a threat" Break said while still sucking on his lollipop that he had in his mouth.

"your telling me, the first time that I heard about them having destroy Europe and France I tough that it was just some country that had a grudge up against them but then I heard about them having to destroy almost more then half of all the countries around the world, I started to get a bit nervous about them attacking us next" Charlotte said.

"yea I been thinking the same thing, I mean we have a very strong military force that can fight up against almost any country head on, but this 'enemy' force or what ever the government or the people that were attack by it call it, they can destroy countries within just a matter of 30 to 50 minutes top, and know I'm starting to think that we might not be able to take this things on when they decide to attack us next" Echo said whit a bit of worry tone when she told them her doubts about them having to have a chance in fighting the enemy when the time called for it.

And when she said her opinion about them not having a chance in fighting the enemy, Oz and the rest of his friends had a look of worry, they all know that they have a very powerful military force whit some of the world's most high tech weapons and materials for combat, but they were having doubts about there force because none of them and not even there government or even the military have seen the enemy up close or in any other way, and they haven't even witness that way that they are in combat so not knowing ho they were and not knowing how they attack made them more of a threat than what they are.

"you have a point there Echo I was too thinking about that in the morning when I was watching the news, but either way we can't say that we are going to be defeated with out a fight, right guys were going to show them what it means to mess with us pilots" Oz said whit determination as he told them that if they were to attack them next that they would fight back against the enemy with out having to show mercy against the enemy.

On hearing Oz's words they to had a look of determination when he said that they would fight back the enemy when they decided to fight there country in anyway that the enemy decided to attack them, so when the day comes when they will fight them they were sure to show the enemy force what they can do.

"your right Oz even if they do attack us we are sure to fight back the enemy with everything we got" Charlotte said as she fist pump the air to show her determination while the others smile from Charlottes action and words that she gave out to them.

"yea Charlotte right, we will show them what we are made out of" Vincent said while smiling in approval when he heard what Charlotte had to say.

"And just like you said Oz, if we were to be defeated by the enemy force we will make sure to not go down with out a fight" Echo said as she placed her hand on Oz's shoulder.

"And we will fight together to show our strength as one" Gilbert said whit a smile as he said that they would fight together when the day came.

"And we will fight them in our own personal nightmare's as well" Break said as he mention the weapon machine that they were going to receive one's they pass the exams.

When Break mention the word Nightmare everybody had a excited look on there face when they remember that they were going to receive there own personal custom made Nightmare after they had pass there exam, which from the look of the line that they were in they were going to be taking it in less then 4 minutes.

"oh men I forgot about that, once I get my personal Nightmare I am going to make it look like a white knight whit a sword" Elliot said as he was starting to imagine the different ideas that he could come up with customizing his Nightmare.

"don't get to carry away with it because there is just so much that you can do until your told that you can't do anymore customization, so don't over think it" Leo said as he reminded him about the limits that Nightmare could take when being customize.

"your may be right about limits of the Nightmare's customization Leo but, I also want to be able to customize my Nightmare whit things that I fine suited for my Nightmare when it is send in to the battle field" Oz said to Leo as he told him that he to wanted to have some things add to his Nightmare.

"mine as well I planned on giving my Nightmare a cool and lethal look when I get the chance" Charlotte said in a excited tone as she started to think about the many possible designs that she cool paint or add to her Nightmare once she get's the first chance to do it.

"I plan on making mine look like a white worrier whit a sword and a rifle so that I can attack the enemy with a close range weapon and a long range weapon" Break said simply as he keep sucking on the lollipop that he has in his mouth trough the entire time that they have been here.

"well it looks like some of guys already have things planned for your Nightmare's that good, so Echo what do you plan on adding to your Nightmare" Oz ask Echo ho was being quiet trough the whole time that they being talking about customizing there own Nightmare's.

"well I haven't really gotten that much time to think about it but, I guess I'm going to add my Nightmare a Sniper Rifle you know how skill I'm with it right Oz" Echo said as she look up at Oz ho was standing right next to her while he was paying attention to what she had to say to him about her ideas of customizing her Nightmare.

"of course I know your skill with that weapon, last time you show me how good you were by shooting 25 targets in the bull's-eye under 10 seconds while they were still moving around, and also there was that time when you shoot a water pipe by accident and it cause water to fall on me while I was getting undress" Oz said whit a bit of laughter when he remember that time that Echo had shoot a water pipe that was located right above him when he was getting undress when the water pipe was shoot and then he had water spilling on him.

Echo ho remember that moment when she got Oz wet when he was changing, a smile appear on her face when she remember the hilarious moment of Oz getting wet by her breaking the water pipe that was located above him.

"hahahahahhahahah" Echo started laugh as she remember it all over again, but for the others they were a bit confuse over it because they never had heard about that so that was kind of new for them, but what Oz said next right before he was cut off by Echo got them even more confuse.

"well do you remember what happen right after you did that to me Echo, because I remember you having to faint after I had taken off my shir-" Oz ho was smiling at Echo was cut off by her as she cover Oz's mouth whit her hands to stop him from saying anything else that would embarrassed her.

"d-don't say that at a place l-like this Oz" Echo said while having to stop him from embarrassing her now, and the reason she stop him from saying anything else was because she remember what Oz had done to get her back when she had gotten him wet. And what had happen was something she wanted to keep between herself and Oz.

What happen was that when Oz had gotten wet by her, he decided to get back at her in a 'way' that it would make her feel like she was the victim. So he started to walk over to her while soaking wet, and started to slowly remove his shirt in a way that was ...erotic that it cause her to start blushing like crazy when she saw how well built Oz was from all the training that he has done that she was sure that 'any' girl was willing to have that chance in seeing him like that.

But what cause her faint after he had taken his shirt off was that when he was in front of her, he said in a very low seductive voice right next to her ear.

"Is this how wet you like to see me without my shirt?, because I can promise you that I can show you 'more' if you just ask".

And that was all she needed to hear from him to pass out right on the spot whit a small trail of blood coming out of her nose.

And that was what had occur that day that she had told Oz to keep this moment of there life between the two so that she didn't had to have people know what had happened to her, and she really didn't wanted to be tease by many people from the school, especially the girl side of the school.

Although, she didn't wanted to lie to herself about being able to see Oz shirtless, she keep that scene in her head forever. She was embarrassed to admit it to herself that she 'like' that moment of him being shirtless.

Once Oz saw the blushing and embarrassed look on Echo's face, Oz knew that she was asking him not to continue any more whit the look on her face that said 'pleas don't say anything else please'.

"what did you meant to say Oz, that you started to take of your shirt or something what was it" Eliot said in a confuse tone because he didn't get what Oz meant to say right before he was cut off.

"oh, no it was nothing I was just messing around nothing really happen besides her getting me wet" Oz said whit a fake smile after he had Echo remove her hands off his mouth while she still had a red face.

"really?. Because the look on her face tells me otherwise" Charlotte said while pointing at Echo ho was still bright red.

"Oz what were you really going to say" Gilbert said in a more confuse but demanding voice as he wanted to know what Oz was really going to say.

"like I said. I was just kidding around no need to be demanding like it was real or anything" Oz said in a normal tone so that they could take the lie whit out arguing back.

"Oz you should know that it is easy for me to know when someone is telling lies, and right now you are lying" Break said again whit his lollipop in his mouth.

"come on Oz tell us what you were going to really say" Vincent said while having to get closer to him.

"like I said it was just a joke, nothing really happened that day but me getting wet by Echo" Oz said again whit his hands up in front of him so that he showed them to back up a bit, but they weren't.

"come on Oz just tell us, it can't be anything bad" Leo said.

"yes what's the big deal, it's not like you did something inappropriate together" Elliot said whit his arms cross over his chest.

When Elliot said that, Echo blush a bit more while looking down to hide her face from embarrassment while Oz had a stun look on his face. For both of them to hear Elliot say that they did something inappropriate together just made them feel awarded and more embarrass.

But for them there reactions to Elliot's comment, cause them to have look on there face that match like this (0_0).

The reason why, there heads were in the dirty part of thinking so naturally they had a shocked look on there face because they tough about a dirty image of what they tough may had happen between the two.

But for Oz and Echo ho decided to look at there friends found them having a disbelief look on there face, so know they had a confuse look on there face.

"your telling me that you guys did something 'mature'" Elliot said pointing his fingers at the two.

Oz ho caught what Elliot said, responded back whit shocked look on his face.

"if your thinking that me and Echo did something like 'that' then you are wrong" Oz said back whit a bit of anger in his voice.

"then why did you say that you were taking your shirt off then" Gilbert said.

"because I said that it was just a joke" Oz said again to his friends that it was just joke.

"really because both your reactions seem to differ" Charlotte said whit a angry shocked voice.

"yea if that's not the case then tell us what really happen" Vincent said.

Oz now had all of his friends wanting to know the truth of what really happen between him and Echo that he was running out of things to say to them so that they would lay off, but it wasn't working anymore. So now it only left him whit saying what really happen.

"if you guys really want to know what really happen ...then I guess I am going to have to tell you" Oz said whit surrendering voice while looking down.

Echo ho heard him say that he was going to tell them what happen, she could only look down to hide her face from them so that they wouldn't see her red face that match a tomato.

But Oz and Echo were save by a call from the guy that was seated at the table that they were lining up for, to take there exams.

"next line of people step up" the guy call out in a order tone as he went thru some of the papers that he had in the table that were stacks of the students that had a applied for the pilot exams.

Oz and Echo ho had heard the guy's command, sighed in relief as they thanked him in there heads for saving them. Meanwhile there friends were a bit irritated that they were interrupted in hearing what Oz had to say about what really had happened between him and Echo.

So they went ahead and sing there names on the sheet of paper that they were given from the guy and started to write down everything down that the piece of paper said to put.

Once done with that they were told the location of the pilot exam was, which was located in the A1-Block, the building that students went to take classes in learning on how to become a pilot.

So once they arrive at the location that they were given, the enter thru the doors to see many excited seniors that were inside chatting with one another about the upcoming exams that they were going to take.

"well it looks like we have a lot of tryouts today" Break said as he look at the large amount of seniors that were taking the exams to become a pilot. And on his inspection of the new comers, he could see the type of people that were in the room.

Some were nervous by the way that they acted, looking around the room while being seated alone while he/her tap the bottom of there shoe on the floor in a nervous way.

Some were being a bit to excited by talking a lot about what they were going to do after they pass the exams whit flying colors, some were being pricks by acting like they own the test that they were going to take by seating in the chairs whit there feats above the desk and going to sleep.

Some where just quiet, just seating in the desk whit nothing to say and nothing to do.

"just by looking at the group of people I can already tell ho are going to pass and ho are going to fail' Leo said while adjusting his glasses that were slipping off.

"really?, same here" Oz said as he and his friends found a couple of desk that were empty and right next to each other, so they took the eight seats that were free and sat down while they waited for the instructor to begin the exam.

"so are you guys ready or what?" Oz ask his friends while he played around whit his necklace that he had under his uniform so that it keep him busy for the mean time.

"not much" Leo said while he pulling out some flash cards to help him remember some of the things that he tough may be on the test.

"not at all" Elliot said while looking outside the window to keep him from getting board or annoyed from the people's conversation that was going on in the large room that they were in. The window that he was looking at gave him a view of the sunrise that was shining light into the room whit a orange glow that you were able to see the rays of the sun entering the room

"a little bit" Vincent said while playing on his phone.

"don't even know what that means" Break said in cocky tone as he pop out a another lollipop to suck on.

"not really that much" Gilbert said while taping his foot on the ground in a constant motion.

"not nervous if you are" Charlotte said whit a smile that was aim at Oz.

"not at all, as long as you have motivation to pass, then I do to" Echo said to Oz whit a smile.

"yea me nether" Oz said whit a caring smile from hearing Echo's words and his friends words of being ready to take on the exam.

So for the next 15 minutes of having to wait for the exam to begin and having more students enter the room, a guy ho was heading into the stage that was located at the front of the room said out loud in a microphone.

"alright everybody get to a desk and sit your ass down so that we can begin whit the exams" a tall guy whit a military uniform said over the speakers while holding a microphone in his hand.

On hearing the instructors voice, everybody in the large room that was standing up a second ago was now sitting in a desk whit a blank look on there face as they waited for any other given instructions.

"alright then, now that we got everybody here I would like to introduce my self, I am Lieutenant Edward Johnson, I am a pilot of the North region of Japan and chosen to give this year's exams to you, the possibly new generation of pilots that would soon enter the fields of being a true pilot of Japan, and hopefully you young boys and girls would take part in this current crisis that we are in to help secure and protect our country from the enemy that has appear on this earth and has cost damage to many great nations across the globe" Lieutenant Edward said to the senior students that were focus in hearing what he had to say while holding a serious composed look on there face to show ho serious they were taking this.

"this test won't be easy, trust me I had taken this exact test when I was your age and a senior in this school, being here again brings back many memories of me and my friends when we went to thru the four years of school in learning on how to become a pilot, we had great times in those four years of learning the basic meanings of becoming a strong and brave pilot, and let me tell you. You are goanna want to hold those precious memories of you and your friends because you may never know when they may be the last memories you may ever have with your friends, so cherish them gratefully" Edward said again whit a strong voice as he told them to hold those memories of them and there friends closely because, they never now when one of them would fall in combat.

And his words cause some of the students to tense up a bit, all of them ho heard him say that they should cherish the memories of there friends when they spend time together, they took it to heart to remember that.

"now there is one last thing that I need to say to all of you right before we begin the test, but first I need you all to stand' Edward said to the students to stand up from there chairs. And the students ho heard his command, they did as they were told and stood up from their chair and stood up in a soldier like stance manner that it made them look like they were ready to be sent into war.

"alright then, I want you all to answer me this one question, will you give your heart and soul to fight and protect those ho are precious to you with all your heart, and to fight for your country so that it can stand whit all it's strength so that the enemy can witness how strong we are as a country" he ask with a strong and serious voice to the group of seniors that were still in there soldier stance since the beginning.

"YES SIR" they all shouted with strength, determination, bravery and confidence to show that they agree whit what he said.

"are you all prepare to give your life so that you can protect the new generation that one day will fight in the same war that you are in, and do you swear to protect your comrades that follow you in combat" he said again to the seniors that had a serious look on there face.

"YES SIR, WE PROMISE TO PROTECT THOUSE THAT FOLLOW US, AND THOUS THAT NEED OUR PROTECTION IN TIMES OF WAR AND IN TIMES OF NEED" all of the shouted again wit strength in there voice to show how serious they all were to show there loyalty.

Edward ho had heard there respond smile greatly in hearing there strong loyalty to there respond to his question.

"Good, that is exactly what I wanted to hear, I am very grateful to hear your respond, now you may all be seated so that we can begin our test" Edward said to the students as they did what they were told and took there seat.

Moments later

After they had taken there seats and waited for instructions, a screen lit up in the desk saying, 'Pilot Exam'. The test was given on a computer on the desk, so that meant that they weren't taking a regular paper test like in other countries, they were more high tech so they use it.

"alright then you all have seven hours to try and complete the 550 questions that are given to you in the test, and if you had study hard in of trough the years and had paid attention in all of your classes, then this shouldn't be so hard and if you didn't ...then I hope you prepare yourself to walk home crying" Edward said in serious voice to the students that had a serious but nervous look on there face.

Oz and his friends had a strong and confident look on there face as they were ready to take the exam and show everybody that they are capable of becoming a pilot.

"now you may all start Now" Edward said as he gave the signal to all the students to begin the test.

Once that was done, all the students started to go thru the questions that they were given, all of them had a serious look on there face as they read the question and chose there answer that they tough was right, or know it's right.

And if you were to be one the teachers that were going down the row of desk to check on the students progress, you would see a lot of students that had either a serious, nervous, scare, or determine look on there face as they went thru every question that pop up after every question that they finish.

But somewhere off outside the building, in the park that was located in the middle of the entire school, there were four figures that were hiding in the tree that were looking inside the building whit HD cameras to get a view of the current situation that was going inside the exam room.

"wow I didn't know that the exam was this hard" the girl with blond hair said as she look thru the camera that show what was going on inside the room.

"your telling me, now I know why Oz takes his studies very seriously, he is passing thru the questions so fast that it looks like he has the answers in his screen" Kate said whit a surprise look on her face when she saw how fast Oz was going thru the questions.

"well it's to be expected from him, Oz always tells us to take our studies seriously when we ask him on what to do in order to do well in school, and I do what he tells me when he tells me to take it seriously" Sharon said with a smile on her face as she watch her older brother take the test like it's nothing.

"well let's hope he does well, if he does then I get to tell him to invite us to a meat restaurant so that we can celebrate" Alice said as she watch Oz and his friends take the test, him and Echo, Charlotte, Gilbert, Vincent, Elliot, Leo and Break were the only ones in the room that seem to know what to do in every question that they were given in the screen. But Oz just seem to pass by them so easily that it look like he knew all the answers.

"yea let's hope he does, then we can eat all the meat we want right Alice" a female voice said from below the tree that they were hiding in.

In hearing the voice, the group of girls froze in shock when they heard the voice of an adult, they were caught.

"you know, you don't have to spy on your older brother to know that he is doing well in his exam Ada and Sharon" this time it was a male voice ho spoke to the group of girls that were still frozen in shocked, but for Ada and Sharon the voice sounded familiar to the both of them.

So with a little hesitation they both turn around and look down below to see ho it was when they saw to adults standing there whit smiles on there face as they saw them glance down on them.

The woman ho was standing next to the men had long orange peach color that reach the back of her mid back. And the woman had orange color eyes that match Sharon's eyes. The man that was standing next to him had blond hair that reach the base of his neck whit his hair brush back, and the men has green emerald eyes.

This two were no other then- ""MOM DAD"" both girls said excitedly as they jump down from the tree and landed on the ground with ease and then rush towards there parents that they haven't seen since the attacks around the world has started, which was about eight months ago since they last seen there parents.

"hahahahahaha, it's great to see you girls again, my you guys have grow a bit haven't you" there dad said whit smile as he return the hug from his daughters.

"it's really great to see you girls, I mist you both and your dear older brother very much" there mom said whit a loving smile as she hug her precious daughters in her arms, all she needed was her other two baby boys that were present here at the moment.

"so why are you girls spying on your brother with Kate and Alice, hi you two" there dad said as he wave at the other two girls that were still up in the tree.

"hi Mr. Vessalius" the two girls said in a sigh of relief to know that it was someone that they knew ho had caught them spying on there friends/brother. And the two girls that were we in the tree soon came down to the ground landing with out problem.

"so why are you girls spying on your older brother Oz?" there dad said again as he release his daughters from the hug that they were in.

"well we just wanted to know how Oz and the rest were doing in there exams so we cam here to check on what they were doing since we don't have anything to do in school for today since exams are going on so the teachers allowed us to go around the school whit out anybody going to the locations of the exams, Oz seem to be going by the test so easily that it looks like it's a walk in the park" Kate simply said as she explain what they were doing.

"really?..., well then would you girls like to go with me and your mother to the stores to get some things for your brother's and your friends celebration party when they get home since you four don't have anything to do" there dad said whit a smile on his face as he invited the girl to go shopping whit them.

"really? can we" the girls said cheerfully as they were excited to go with them so that they can plan out something for there brother/friends celebration party.

"yes you can, we were planning on taking you girls out of school so that we can go get some preparations done at home, and since we have you girls now I think we should get moving so that we can set up the party before you brother comes, so let's go" Ada's and Sharon's mother said as they started to head out the park of the school and went outside the school to get some things prepare.

7 seven hours of extreme pain in your hand, eye and your brain.

"alright then, times up kids" Edward shouted out loud to the senior students to tell them that there time is up. Luckily all of the students were able to finish right on time with 15 to 10 minutes to spare.

Once the students had heard that the test was over, all of them even Oz and his friends sighed in relief whit a very tired tone as they started to stretch there bodies in there seats.

"finally the test is over, thank god"

"I never felt this tired ever before"

"I didn't know that my hand could fall asleep in a test"

"I tough I was going to die"

Those were the comments that were coming out of the students mounts as they started to fill the large room whit noise.

"I'm glad that's over with, I could keep going until I had finished the test" Vincent said as he stretch both his arms in the air.

"your telling me, me hand started to get extremely white from me griping it so much" Gilbert said while covering his mouth whit his hands to cover a yawn that was escaping his mouth.

"did anybody felt like they were going to collapse on the test, I sure did" Leo said while adjusting his glasses and massaging his neck from having to be hanging his head over the test.

"I didn't know that it was this hard, now I know why teachers say to take it seriously" Elliot said as he pop his knuckles to relive some pain and stress that he had built inside him from the long test that they were involve.

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" break was sound asleep on top of his desk whit drool coming out of his mouth while the stick that belong to his lollipop that he had been sucking on for the entire seven hour period was now just a stick poking out of his mouth.

"my god, I didn't know that they would make us know everything that we had learn since the first year that we had enter to school" Charlotte said whit very tired voice while having her eyes half close.

"well they expect us to know everything in order to become a pilot, they can't have a pilot that lacks knowledge in things that they need in times of combat and in other situations, isn't that right Oz you seem to know everything that was on the test with such little effort at all to answer them" Echo said whit her head on the table as she was getting a bit of rest from the test that they took.

"yes your right, knowledge is more important then knowing how to fight because you need to know things that are necessary in every situation when the time calls for you to use the knowledge that you have learn" Oz said whit a bit of a tired tone as he let out a yawn from his mouth.

"I guess studying every day of your life seems to pay off well" Oz said to his friends to let them know how the test was for him.

"really?, well I wise that this thing had a chat feature so that you could help me with the test" Vincent said in a joking manner.

"don't be dumb Vincent, if they did add such feature like that then what would the point of taking the test be" Charlotte said.

"the test is made to test your knowledge of things, adding a simple chat feature would mean that they just want you to pass the test whit any challenge given to you at all, which is stupid if you ask me" Leo said.

"yea I know I was just messing around, you don't have to take it to serious" Vincent said whit a annoyed look on his face, he wanted to tell a simple joke to his friends and start laughing a bit about the simple dumb idea and not get lecture by his friends.

"don't worry Vincent, I know what you meant it would have been kind of funny to be able to have that in a test, you could troll somebody's screen fill with words, that would be funny" Oz said whit a smile on his face when he imagine a act of it being done during the test.

"thanks for getting the joke Oz" Vincent said as he smile back at him for understanding. "so what are we going to do know that we are done with the test' he said to Oz as he ask him what they were going to do now that they finish taking the test.

"well isn't simple, they are going to tell us ho pass and ho failed" Oz said simply as he lean back in his seat.

"already, don't they take at least a week or so to go over the tests" Vincent said with a surprise mid loud tone that it cause some of the people that were around them to turn around to listen in on what was going on.

"well of course, there is a reason why we took a exam in a computer instead of a paper test like they use to, and the reason is because they can scan all of our test with in 1 minute, and then they can just tell us ho pass and ho failed, but there is also something else that is going to effect the outcome of ho were the ones that pass because of our current situation" Oz said while looking at the instructor and the other teachers that were group up together in the stage were the main computer that connected to all of the other ones was located up in the stage.

Once Oz said this it cause his friends to get a bit surprise and the rest of the students that were around them that had listen into what he had said, some of the students were getting a bit nervous because they were thinking just like Vincent when he said that the test should take about a week before they are told ho pass and ho fail.

"and what would that be Oz" Charlotte ask him in interested way, she was curious as to know what would happen with the test grades whit the current situation that they were in.

"well since we are in a current situation were all the country's in the world are being attack, they are going to want all of the best and highest skill students to join the military, so that means that the score bar for passing is going to be raise greatly to were only 1/3 of the students will pass, which would mean more students retaking the test again next year ...if their is a next were we are still alive" Oz said while still looking at the stage were the teachers and the instructor were just about finish with the test results and putting them in ranks.

"what you can be serious, that sounds a bit unfair don't you think" Gilbert said whit a surprise look on his face, half of the room of students that had heard there conversation were surprise to hear that only 1/3 of the room will be able to pass the exams. Some where getting a bit more nervous then what they were when they were going to take the test in the morning.

"Nope not really, if you ask me it's a wise choice because now you are saving a few students that may not be ready for real combat, in the students that ended up failing get to have the chance in learning a bit more before they get sent of to ho knows where, and they also get to teach and protect the newer generation of students so it's not really a bad thing if you look at it that way" Oz said to Gilbert and Vincent and the rest of his friends ho were listening to him whit the other students that were listening to his conversation.

"yea ...I guess your right" Gilbert said softly as he lean back into his chair right before the instructor spoke thru the microphone.

"alright everybody sit down" Edward said thru the microphone as he order everybody ho was standing up or meeting there friends at there desk to sit down.

So once everybody sat down, "alright everybody, now I going to show all of you your test grades. We are going to place your names with your score in a rank formation from top being the highest grade and then going down to the lowest grade whit. Also if 'your' name is highlighted in red then it means that you have failed, if it's in white then it means that you have passed" Edward said over the mic as he explain the why that the test results were going to be order by.

The students that were in the room gasp in shocked (except for the ones that had heard Oz's conversation with his friends) when they heard that there test results were going to be given to them in such short time.

Oz's friends look surprise to see that Oz was right about them being able to know there test results in such short time.

So after Edward said that, he press three actions on the screen when a holographic screen appear at each of the students desk showing there ranking in the test whit there test results.

And just like that, the whole room was filled whit mix emotions some were happy by jumping up and down and screaming in happiness that they passed. Some where relief to see that they had passed the test even with them thinking that they weren't going to be able to pass the test. Some of the students were sad, sad to see that they had failed the test and had being given a low rank and a low grade.

But for Oz and his friends, they erupted in a cheer of joy as they saw that they had all passed the test.
