Entrance Exam Starts!

The scene opens up with Aalto lying down in the cave asleep as it would still be nighttime

Aalto would then start to have nightmares about what happened to the bunny family his nightmares would consist of the same thing happening over and over again and some would be his POV getting impaled and mauled by the bunny family showing him an outcome of what could have transpired

Then as he would see the baby bunny's eyes again as he impaled it he would wake up scared and sweating

Aalto starts to pant heavily while also trying to calm down he then looks at Dorothy who is still sleeping

Seeing Dorothy would calm aalto down as he'd put his shoes on and then walked out of the cave and grabbed his wand 

A few minutes later 

Aalto would then get to the lake and sit on the ground admiring the beautiful lake

Aalto would then sigh and say "Man...looking at this lake helped..."

Aalto would then grab some rocks and skip them onto the lake most would be successful while others would fail

"I wonder what Ozul is doing..." As Aalto would say this there would be sounds of growling in the distance which would seem to come from the bushes

Aalto would hear the growling and be on guard with his wand 

The growling would sound closer and closer the sound would frighten aalto so much that it would make him start to shake as the growling would stop 

There would be complete silence the only sound that would be heard is the sound of Aalto's throat gulping 

Then the moment aalto calmed down thinking that the growling was completely gone a pack of wolves would jump out of the bushes and the leader would be the same wolf from 2 months ago 

Seeing the same wolf again would make aalto start to hyperventilate as he would remember almost getting eaten by that same wolf

Aalto would then start to have a mini panic attack wondering what should he do should he run or should he fight? 

As the wolf pack would creep closer and closer aalto would back away closer and closer and then the wolf leader would growl while his teeth would shake in hunger and as its saliva would leak and its eyes would be dark red 

Aalto stared into the wolf leader's eyes as aalto would feel an immense aura of bloodthirstiness and predatory as the wolf leader ran at Aalto

Aalto would instead run as fast as he could as the wolf pack chased after him aalto would not look back at all and ran into the forest and the wolf pack continued to chase

Aalto would think to himself PLEASE.. PLEASE. I DON'T WANT TO DIE!! PLEASE PLEASE!!!

As Aalto thought this to himself he started to cry thinking he was about to get killed

 he would then hide behind a tree

Aalto would start to think back again to what he did to the bunny family So I guess......this is my karma Aalto said to himself

As the wolf pack would be able to smell aalto and find his scent aalto would come out from the tree and have a lifeless expression 

So I guess...I might as well die...and let karma take over... As aalto said this to himself one of the wolves from the wolf pack would see aalto and run to him getting ready to bite him

As the wolf got closer aalto dropped his wand and just accepted death 

The wolf would pounce on aalto and bite his shoulder aalto would yell in pain as the rest of the wolves except the wolf leader would start to maul aalto ripping his flesh and eating it

Aalto would flashback to when he was younger and with Cleo and she would clean him up 

Flashback to 4 years ago

Cleo would wash the dirt off of aalto after he got done cleaning the shed

"hey, Miss Cleo?" said young aalto 

"yes, Aalto?" 

"Where are my parents?" young aalto said curiously

As young aalto would ask this question Cleo would stop cleaning him and think about her answer she would then say 

"Well aalto...you're parents are... In a safe place right now but...the reason why you're here now is that at that time something major happened and since I've known your mom since we were kids...I was the first person she came to for help... And she entrusted me to take care of you while she and your dad are gone"

Young aalto would then look down at the water and think over Cleo's answer as she continued to clean aalto 

He would then ask "Then...why haven't they come back for me? Where are they??"

"well...I don't know...but...maybe one day when you get older you will be able to find them?" 

Young aalto would think and then smile and say "Okay! I'll do that I'll grow big and strong then find mommy and daddy!"

"ha ha okay good... But aalto...the world isn't as forgiving...I won't be able to go with you...but just know...it's a kill-or-be-killed world out there and there are going to be times when you are going to be scared and want to hide and wait until the problem goes away... But it doesn't work like that... You have to either fix the problem yourself... Or let the problem roam free... And cause problems for anyone else...so remember...fix the problem or make problems for everyone else" says Cleo

"Okay! I understand" Young Aalto would smile and laugh as Cleo would laugh with him

Flashback ends

As aalto stopped thinking about that conversation with Cleo that same phrase that she said would echo in his mind "Fix the problem or make problems for everyone else" he would then have flashing images of Dorothy, Cleo, and Ozul

 

Aalto would then send out a huge mana barrier that would send the wolves off of him the wolf pack would back away from the mana barrier and it would turn into a huge ball of water as Aalto's wounds would heal and would hold his hand out as his wand would fly to him and he would catch it

The huge ball of water would land on the ground and it would disperse as aalto would be in it

The wolf pack would slowly back away as the wolf leader would still stand tall
droplets of water would float and surround aalto as he rose and opened his eyes his eyes would glow with a light blue color as he would raise his wand and gather the droplets of water surrounding him and circulate it on his wand 

The wolf leader would howl as it would grow an immense aura and it would make it bigger 

The wolf leader flashed to aalto and swung its claws as aalto dodged and sent a water spell into the wolf leader sending the leader flying through some trees 

Aalto would levitate and then fly toward the wolf leader

The wolf leader would howl and start swinging trying to hurt aalto but it would be to no avail as aalto would be dodging the attacks as aalto would then send multiple water spells at the wolf leader hurting it

The wolf leader would block all of it then grab aalto and throw him into the lake

The wolf leader then ran to aalto and waited to strike

Then a typhoon would erupt from the lake as aalto would rise from the hole in the water 

The wolf leader would look in fear 
Aalto would then speak and say "I'm not scared of you anymore...I'm done running...this time... I'll BE THE ONE TO KILL YOU!!" Aalto's voice would have an echo in it

Aalto would then gather most of the water from the lake turning it into a huge ball of water

The wolf leader would try to stop aalto but aalto would activate his water barrier shielding him from the wolf leader's attacks 

The wolf leader would in turn start to get scared and try to run away

Aalto would finish his spell but then he would disperse it and fly towards the wolf leader stare into its eyes and then say 
"Taifuuni Ripper. (Typhoon Ripper).." As Aalto said this the spell would send out a huge ball of water that would be 5 times larger than the big wolf and would obliterate the wolf leader turning it into a pile of paste 

Ozul would be watching from a long distance on a cliff using binoculars and say "HOLY SHIT!! HE REALLY KILLED IT!! "

Aalto would be floating as he would look at the wolf pack they would be scared and whimper then run away

They would remind Aalto of the bunny family as he would float down to the ground and his eyes would go back to normal as he fell unconscious but still slightly awake to hear

Ozul would use his mana to fly to Aalto and land next to him

"good job kid...you completed 3/4 of my lessons...first was me teaching you your spells... the second was you learning how to survive on your own...and the third one was you overcoming your fear and facing the challenge. Which was of course the wolves...but your last lesson...will take place on the last day of this training..I can't tell you what it is...as you will have to find it out yourself." As Ozul said this he picked Aalto up and walked over toward the cave

 as Ozul was walking Aalto heard everything he said but only smiled a little and then fell back asleep

Ozul would look at Aalto with a proud smile on his face as he made it to the cave 

Dorothy would be at the front of the cave entrance very worried as she would see Ozul she would float over to him and see him carrying Aalto

Ozul would notice Dorothy and be perplexed then stop thinking about it as Ozul would then say

"I'm..going..to..lay..him..down..on..that..bed...Okay??" Ozul would say this slowly hoping Dorothy would understand
Dorothy would wonder why he was speaking like that then she would make a squeaking sound making an "okay!" kind of sound as she would smile and move out of Ozul's way 

Ozul would sigh of relief and then walk inside the cave lay aalto down gently walk away

"See ya in 2 months." As Ozul would say this he would wave bye and leave

Dorothy would cuddle up to Aalto and sleep with him

2 months later

It would be fall season as leaves would fall and the trees would have an orange look to it as always when it is fall

Aalto would then slowly wake up as his hair reached farther down his shoulders Aalto would then put his glasses on and see Dorothy once again happy to see Aalto 

"Hey, Dorothy...how long have I been asleep?" 

Dorothy would then make a squeaking noise

"TWO MONTHS!?" Said Aalto exclaiming
Aalto would then try to remember what happened 2 months ago

"ugh...all I can remember is that I was getting mauled by the wolves...then I thought about you, Ozul, and Cleo, and then that's all I can remember.." says Aalto confused 

Aalto would then slowly get up and walk outside and see that it's fall season he would smile and put on his shoes then he would see a note on the table

Aalto would walk over to it and then read it as it would say

Hey kid...congrats on completing 3/4 of my lessons and surviving at that meet me at the same place where we did the first lesson..I got a present for you Sincerely Yours, Ozul 

Aalto gathered his things "All right Dorothy let's go"

As aalto said this Dorothy would squeak happily and go with aalto as he'd leave 

What Aalto didn't realize was that there were extra words on the back of the note saying Oh and P. S. Since you killed one of the leaders of the creatures that's been trying to kill you I took a protection spell off of you that shielded your mana from them so now they can track you and try to kill you good luck >:)

While Aalto and Dorothy are walking towards the meeting site Aalto feels like he's being watched as he grabs his wand and gets in front of Dorothy protecting her
Dorothy immediately understood what was happening she would get ready as well

 There would be growling emitting from bushes as the same creatures would show up but also with the same wolf pack the Ogre would be there as well the creature pack would consist of Ogre, Wolves, and goblins

Dorothy And Aalto would be surrounded by them Dorothy would then squeak with a worried sound

"Don't worry Dorothy... I'll protect you..you got my back right?"

Dorothy would then nod turn behind Aalto and make a squeaking noise

"you want me to handle the ogre?...okay...be careful"

As Aalto would say this he would shoot a spell at the ogre angering it and making it chase him into the forest

Dorothy would face off against the wolves and goblins the wolves and goblins would start to attack as Dorothy would dodge and send bubble spells that would hit the goblins and wolves' eyes making them hard to see

Dorothy would make a bubble ball spell and shoot it at some of the goblins and wolves and most would get hit and get killed while others would dodge and try to attack Dorothy

Back with Aalto as he would be shooting water spells at the ogre and the ogre would get pissed and swing its weapon
Aalto instead of dodging would counter the attack using his water barrier spell taking a risk and then he would send a water spell that would strike the ogre's chest sending him back

Aalto had a determined look on his face as the ogre tried to attack again but Aalto dodged and shot a water spell into its leg making it fall as Aalto headshot it into its ear making it paralyzed 

The ogre would stare Aalto in the eyes as Aalto would stare back Aalto would raise his wand and swirl it around concentrating mana around the wand 

The ogre would be able to move again and try to swing at Aalto but it would be too late as Aalto would then yell "Vesitykki!!! (means Water Cannon in English)" 

This spell would be a downward strike version of Vesitykki as it would slam down on the ogre like a hammer crushing the ogre from the pure water pressure, it would also not just kill the ogre from the impact but the water drowning it as well

Aalto would pant but not collapse as he would then notice it "Wait I'm not...going to pass out? that's a first."

After Aalto said this he walked back to Dorothy to see all the enemies vanquished 

Aalto would have a surprised expression on his face as Dorothy would see him and squeak and nudge its nose as Aalto would pet her

"Ha ha..good job Dorothy I knew you could do it!" Said Aalto proudly

Aalto and Dorothy would continue to walk towards the meeting spot

A few hours later

Ozul would be waiting for Dorothy And Aalto he would see them walking towards him in the distance he would smile while holding a small box

Aalto would wave at Ozul then he would get to him and walk toward him

"Congrats...I can see that you had some trouble back there" Said Ozul with a mischievous smirk on his face

"Hm? Yeah how'd you- ohh...SO YOU WERE BEHIND THAT!? I WAS WONDERING WHY THEY HAVEN'T HUNTED ME EVER SINCE THAT DAY" said aalto furiously

"HAHAHAHAHA too bad I can't deny that I indeed am the reason why...since I made a protection spell to protect you from those creatures until you were ready to take them head-on"

Aalto would have a pout expression on his face

"hahaha...I'm sorry...I didn't know you were going to go through all that" As Ozul would say this he would attempt to head pat Aalto

Aalto would get scared seeing his hand thinking he would get hit because of the man as Ozul's hand would touch Aalto's head and rub it

Ozul would be smiling while doing it as Aalto would realize how good a head pat feels then he would cry

Ozul would get started and stop "OH SH-SHIT SORRY WE'RE NOT THAT FAR INTO OUR RELATIONSHIP FOR THAT HUH!?"

Aalto would look at Ozul and then say "Oh no it's okay..it's just that was the first time anyone has ever done that...and usually when a hand reaches out to me I think I'm going to get hit..." Aalto would also say in a reassuring voice while he would wipe his tears

"because of your "father" right?" Said Ozul in a kinda pissed voice

Aalto would nod

"anyways...you going to tell me about that... Floating. Dolphin????" Ozul says in a still-confused voice 

"Oh yeah! Dorothy this is Ozul Ozul this is Dorothy" 

Dorothy would squeak in excitement as she would hold her flipper out as a handshake gesture

"Uhh..nice to meet you, Dorothy..." As Ozul would say this he would shake Dorothy's flipper as a handshake

Aalto would then explain his relationship with Dorothy to Ozul

"Wow...okay...that makes a lot of sense..so she is basically a Companion which are fantasy creatures that finds an owner and grows with them" 

"ohhh okay, where's yours Ozul?" Aalto would ask

Ozul would then summon a black and grey wolf with a black flame mark on its head 

"His name is Midnight," Said Ozul as he would pet him

Aalto would pet Midnight too as he would wag its tail happily 

"all right now...before we go I'm going to give you my present" Ozul would then hand Aalto the small box

Aalto would then open it and it would be an ID card with a number on it and a pic of Aalto

"What...what is..." Aalto would be at a loss for words

"It's your entrance exam card that number is your entry number so see that it says #2000 it means you're the 2000th and last entrance exam candidate for the entrance exam so you are competing with 2000 other kids..but still congrats!" Ozul would say happily

Aalto would then cry tears of joy and jump up and down happily

"YESS!! YESS!! I DID IT!! THANK YOU OZUL THANK YOU" As Aalto would say this he would go over to Ozul and hug him tightly

"oh...heh...no worries kid you earned it" Ozul would embrace the hug

Aalto would stop hugging ozul and celebrate with Midnight and Dorothy

Ozul would look at them and smile 

After a while, Ozul would disperse Midnight and walk back home with Aalto And Dorothy

They would get home as Ozul would then say

"Let's go celebrate at the Pub" 

Dorothy would stay home as Aalto and Ozul would go to the local pub that Ozul would always go to now getting a closer look the pub would look nice and comfy 

Aalto And Ozul would sit down at a table with Ozul's friends and start drinking while Aalto would be drinking strawberry milk

"I'M SCHZLOOO GAD YU COMPLEDED MY TRANING AND SURVIVED AT THAT!" Ozul said drunkenly 

The rest of his friends would agree then one of them would say "Y-YEZ WE'RE ALZO POUD OF U!"

Aalto would chuckle nervously "Uhh t-thanks?" 

Aalto would then get up for a refill then accidentally bump into a guy and make him drop his drink "O-OH I'M SORRY" 

"YOU LITTLE BRAT THAT WAS MY DRINK!!" the angry man would then throw Aalto across a table

Ozul sees this and then gets in front of the man "EY IF YOU WANA GET TO HIM YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH M-" Before Ozul could even finish his sentence the angry man punches Ozul and slams his face on a table

 

Ozul collapsed to the floor holding his nose which was dislocated

Aalto would get up and then see the angry man walking toward him as random fights would break out throughout the pub the barkeeper would already be used to this and be unfazed

Aalto would run angrily toward the angry man tackle him and punch his face left, right, left, right, over and over again the angry man's face would bleed as he would get Aalto off of him with a kick into the gut

Aalto would get up but get punched in the face by the angry man then he would grab Aalto and headbutt him as he would spin kick Aalto sending him onto another table 

The angry man would walk over to Aalto preparing to keep attacking Ozul would stop him and punch him in the face sending him away from Aalto

Ozul would fix his nose even though it would still bleed as he would get into a fighting stance

The angry man would rush at Ozul throwing punches and kicks Ozul would dodge some but still get hit then Ozul would fight back by uppercutting him then kicking him in the nuts making him stop moving

"HA HURTS LIKE A BITCH DOESN'T IT?" Ozul would say as the angry man tackled Ozul and tried to choke him Ozul would try to choke him as well

Aalto would tackle the angry man off of Ozul and then continue to pummel him the angry man would kick Aalto off of him but Ozul would get up and kick him back to the ground as Aalto would get up He and Ozul would start to stomp the angry man out

Aalto would kick the angry man in the nuts then they would stop

Ozul would look at Aalto as they would fist-bump

"HAHAHA, HOW DID YOUR FIRST BRAWL FEEL LIKE!?" Ozul would say while laughing proudly and wiping his nose

"It felt...exhilarating..." Said Aalto as he would wipe his nose and mouth 

"I KNOW RIGHT!!" Ozul would say as he noticed everyone in the pub would stop brawling 

Aalto and Ozul would then sit down and they would drink

Ozul would hold his booze "I make this toast... To commemorate you for completing my training and also kicking some serious ass!"

Aalto would hold his cup of strawberry milk and accept the toast as they drink

They would both laugh together then after a while, they would walk back home while Aalto carried Ozul

They would get home as Aalto would tuck Ozul in he would hear Ozul say "And Aalto? The entrance exam starts...next...week.."

Aalto then smiled as Ozul fell asleep Aalto left his room and headed to the bathroom to get in his pajamas and brush his teeth then he headed to his room and slept on his bed and slept happily

A week later

It would be the afternoon as Aalto headed to the entrance exam he would be wearing a black and blue shirt with black shorts and his same shoes while his hair would be cut and back to being normal and curly 

he noticed that kids would be walking in the direction he was going showing him that he was going the right way

There would be kids of every race, goblins, orcs, wolves, elves, etc

They would all get to the entrance exam as it would be a huge forest in front of them 
Aalto would be very nervous as he would be standing with 2000 other kids 

There would then be an announcement voice echoing from the building to the right saying "OKAY KIDS THANK YOU ALL FOR PARTICIPATING IN THIS ENTRANCE EXAM I WILL NOW EXPLAIN THE RULES!!!" the voice would sound like an enthusiastic female teacher

"YOUR ID CARDS HAVE FIVE EMPTY STARS ON THEM TO GET THOSE STARS YOU HAVE TO FIND SOMEONE THAT IS IN NEED OF HELP, FIGHT A CREATURE, OR FIND THIRTEEN STAR-SHAPED COOKIES IN THIS FOREST! EACH ONE OR ONE IS WORTH A LOT OF STAR POINTS OR A LITTLE SO CHOOSE WISELY!!!"

Some of the kids would be annoyed at the announcer woman's voice while others would be thinking to themselves about what to pick

So each scenario is either worth a lot of points or a little and would be a waste of time... Says Aalto in his mind

"NOW...BEGIN!!!!" as she says this the gate opens and all the kids rush inside the forest and so does Aalto

"GOOOOOOD LUUUUUUUCKKKKK," says the announcer lady

The kids would stop as there would be a bunch of ogres already in their way some would be too scared to move

But there would be a few brave kids like one an African American half-dragon boy with dark red afro dreadlocks hair and wearing a headband with a dragon symbol on it and casual clothes and seemed to be around Aalto's age would swing his small sword while coating it normal colored flames and slice an ogre in half 

He would then say "Phew, glad that guy is gone he was creeping me the hell out" 

Then another kid a Romanian American half-elf girl with asymmetrical bob hair and silver colored hair and wearing elf clothing would shoot her arrows coated in air using a white beautiful bow at an ogre and headshot it killing it

She would then say "Is that all?" 

Last but not least Aalto would then shoot a water spell at an ogre's leg making him trip then he would headshot the ogre with a water spell killing it

Aalto would look at the elf girl and half-dragon boy and say in his head wow..those two are pretty good

There would then be more ogres arriving as the three would get ready
