Kori's POV
Cold.
That's it. Cold.
So cold that it felt painful yet satisfying.
I don't know why but the cold feels kinda nice. Mybe it's because I live in the cold or my room is cold itself. The temperature is about -9 decrease.
Wearing only my ice blue gi as it reflects the cold air with the other kids. Four of us are around since these three other kids were able to pass one of the tests.
Without much notice by anyone my eye's scanned the gi's colour and faces of others.
One girl, blonde hair, green eye's. Orange gi.
Another girl two twin tails of purple with a yellow gi.
One boy violet eyes and violet hair. Pale-White gi.
Before the instructor arrives I turned my slightly to the side and spotted a river. A river? Shouldn't this be a ice storm and area made of ice?
There's no way their still roaming free without being effected by the temperature. This facility is made of real life experiences and real life work. It's not robotic or A. I made. It's real.
If there's a river that can not be affected by ice then there should be one solution: it's a fake.
Judging from the outline of the distance there should be either forcefields or a protective barrier for it to not be affected. But there's not and it's hitting the river plain and simple. There's ice particles there around it.
It's a phase through to the frozen lake. Just as I came to that conclusion the surroundings changes to use standing near the fake river.
"now then. Since we look ready let us begin our next test. For this one is a battle royal fight. Now there is a river nearby that you could see that it's not affected by the temperature. That's because it's a phase through river down under it is a lake of ice Coldwater. The rules of the test today is simple.
1. You will try to survive the battle royal in 30 minutes.
2. In those 30 minutes the temperature will get colder til it reaches - 13 decrease.
3. If someone is knocked out, putted down or fall in that lake it doesn't count as disqualification.
4. You have 3 points and those 3 points are the chances you have left before being disqualified.
5. Losing those points are by falling into the lake, knock out and getting hit.
6. Your Jobe is to block every attack or dodge to avoid getting hit. You aim to hit either open chest, gut, face or rips. Mybe even the sides. But open areas. While also avoid the lake.
7. Getting hit three times counts as losing points.
Now then since that's settled we shall begin your test"
Simple instructions yet enough to strike fear in one's soul. I suppose it's normal. Reading each opponents name before the match starts. It's written ontop of our heads by a system like game panel.
Amy is the one in Orange gi.
Yue is the boy in Pale-White gi
And maroon is the one in yellow.
As the bell rings immediately I rush off to the trees as getting away from the lake is the best solution. Once I got away maroon is the first to attack as she fakes a fist into a scorpion kick but it was ineffective as I block with both hands using the force to flip while my hands are still on her leg and sweep her other leg but it was a trap as she lifts her other leg up and the one she used to hit me wrapped itself on my other leg.
Twisting her body to fake another fist to a knee, bending my body backwards and grabbing her gi before flipping us bother backwards and rolling down the snow as the temperature gets colder until we stop rolling and I was ontop of her in a arm lock before karate chopping her neck knocking her out and palm striking her gut and sides. Disqualified. One down.
Before anything else happened a body got lunched at me as it hits me and I fall back. Yue flips back up and tries to roundhouse kick me as I moved in time to block it before Amy gets behind me grabbing my gi from behind and tries to throw me but I put my weight on my feet backhand her nose.
Crack!
There was a cracking sound as her nose was bleeding. Focusing my attention back on Yue who used the opportunity I was dealing with Amy to hit my rips as I narrowly avoided a critical hit. Before my left leg hits his side. 1 point down.
The temperature raised again and snow fell on us covering our vision before I flipped back to a tree as Amy hits it by Missing my head. I could've sworn I heard a Crack sound.
Striking her face before double kneeing her guts and as I was about to hit the final blow Yue slams his body against the tree breakthrough it and hitting my back rolling us to the lake. Damn it my second point is out. My first was when he lunched his body against me.
Grabbing the snow and floor and gaining my balance before landing a quick kick to Amy's face while she rolled til she reached the lake.
Standing up after eliminating Amy I rushed to Yue who was still gaining balanced and hit two quick strikes.
He blocked.
Straight kick aiming my face to a twist and land on my shoulders gently and using the force to hit my cheek.
Turn to the other side quickly before I got hit.
Sweep his exposed leg. A hit.
Getting ontop of his body but he locked my legs and used jujutsu to sweep his body to the side as I lost balance for a second.
He grabbed my gi and pulled me forward closer to him as he lifts his legs against my stomach and used all his might to throw me over the lake to a near by land and crash land there using his legs and hands.
Once I crashed landed and pushed on the floor with rocks as it rips my gi a little but enough for it to cut my skin and blood tricking.
Seeing the moment Yue ran and jumped over the lake to a near open land and jumped to Another and Landing on the one I'm one as I took the moment to get up and get used to the pain before I kick lunched at me as I slapped it away before wrapping his legs on the arm im bleeding on and sling me down but I landed on my feet while the pain gets worse before jumping and twisting my body in mid air to swing at him and double knee his gut which he blocks and while his focusing on blocking my knees I slipped a fist to his jaw. Second point down.
Grabbing his gi and slam him down the dirt before I roll us to the lake before touching it I quickly flipped his body over mine while holding his gi and slaming him at the lake splashing the water and getting ontop of him touching the water after getting ontop and headbutt him so hard both our heads are bleeding and cover the lake in cold blood.
"haa... Haa.. Haa.. . Haa" huffing and catching some air before seeing 30 minutes reached and the sound of the test ended. Tired but using the strength I still have left I raised both to my legs and looked at the instructors with medical care.
Looking down at the unconscious bleeding Yue on the lake grabbing his head out before he drowned to death I threw him to land. We were not that deep in the lake or far just a knee sized part. Looking at his body I decided he could be one of the strong to out of controlled ones. The scared, strong and average ones are our best shot.
3rd person POV
The facility was made of real life texture. Temperature til - 13. A normal person in this world can survive - 5 decrease. Their at the level of an professional soldier. The vi's are made to protect the body at the temperature so that they don't die of it. Also comfortable to work with.
There are levels to this organization facility. From level 1 being low building level. To level 20 at high universal. No one has ever made it to level 1 to 5 generations. There are more generations.
