Scene 5 - Time Limit
Watching the twins destroy the western front with ease made Grorc smile slightly, ‘Perhaps we’ll all make out with their firepower. But first I have to convince the egotistical to work together.’
With such thoughts, Grorc went over to the fan maiden first who was eating some unknown type of grapes he had never seen before. Seeing the Orc walking over to her resting the fan maiden put away her food tilting her head, “What do you want?”
“I wish to gather all the top experts together after the time limit is up which will be soon.”
“Time limit? What time limit?”
Grorc ran his hand through his hair and bashfully smiled, “Ah so you don't know some of the insider information, it seems we got the ‘hunters’ this time. Since it’s the hunters then they will only have eight hours to hunt us before closing up shop for the day.”
Pulling out a small fan the Fan Maiden started airing her face, “Meaning?”
Grorc continued speaking, “Meaning that we’ll be stuck here for a few days or maybe even until the end of the exam depending on what they have in store for our group.”
The Fan Maidens eyes shined brightly, “Ah! That means we don’t have to be running and escaping with the total points we gathered! Wait that’s only if everyone here has more then at least one hundred points.”
“Exactly which is why I wanted to talk with you, that middle age man, that brown haired youth and those twins.”
“Eh? Those little shits? Didn’t you hear that little girl pronounce that she would kill us all? Why would you want to talk to them? I mean do you see how she treats those skulls and how brutal she is in combat?”

They both took a look at Luna when she said that and watched her jump on the shoulders of an Elf Zombie. She then impaled her spear on the top of its head until the spear was halfway in before doing a power throw flinging the body at an incoming swarm of Zombies.
Her body was drenched in black blood and with her eyes crimson laughing as she toyed with the zombies to her heart's content. A true psychopath thought the Fan Maiden as he turned to Grorc, “See?”
Waving with his hand Grorc replied, “A minor manner, she has a brother does she not? See that boy facing off against that Death Knight? With him, we can keep her in line. Oh, he just killed it what an excellent move.”
Turning her head in time the Fan Maiden saw Sol severing the Death Knight head with one well-placed strike before using his foot to smash the skull to pieces.
‘What a profound slash for a child so young.’
Grorc spoke up interrupting the Fan maidens, “The silver-haired man already agreed to talk if we have you then it’ll be easy to get the other three to agree. Besides group two is about to finish up.”
Indeed as he said there was only about one hundred zombies life, they would be done in a minute or so. After they finished the next group expected to head out only to see the clock timer read 16 hours before the next wave.
One of the youths itching to go out and do battle snorted, “Whats the meaning of this! I wanted to fight those zombies!”
To which the necromancer brothers appeared, “Oh we forget to mention that we can only hunt for 8 hours a day meaning you guys can rest here for 16 hours. When those up we can start the next wave.”

One of the youths dissatisfied, “Than how are supposed to earn points! I only have 81!”
The younger brother smiled cutely but his words were chilling, “Simple really kill each other oh wait you can’t haha! Enjoy your stay!”
The two then faded out of existence watching the youths grit their teeth in anger and curse them under their breaths. The Fan Maiden didn’t pay attention to cultivators and instead paid attention to this Orc, seeing that he had some insider information it would be best to hear him out, “Alright I’ll agree to talk.”
With a smile Grorc held a hand out, “Then let's go shall we?”
