"Did I just see that, the boy carefully cut the beast vitals and killed it while still cutting it in a way that wouldn't affect the baby, but how did he do it" Damian thought after calling his team to head towards the place.
Yami followed Damian and Dr Mayumi in excitement since he wanted to congratulate Natsu personally.
"Okay everyone let's begin moving, it's time to head towards the Stage 3 of the Exams.
Kazuko looked at Natsu and saw him standing still being covered in blood as she began following the rest.
Yami just arrived at the field and saw Natsu standing still as he rushed towards him and said, "That was incredible, I didn't know you could do that, you were really amazing"
"Yami" Natsu called out in a low tone which made Yami worried as he replied, "Yeah, what's it, I'm right here"
"Yami, I'm sorry for disturbing you but can you do me a favor"
"Of course I can, what's it"
"Please can you take me to the bathroom and also bring a first aid kit, so I can treat myself. Also, can you bring me a change of cloths, I need a white inner, a black jacket and a black trouser with white socks and black shoe" Natsu said still trying to retain his consciousness.
"Sure, I can do that, but why are you sounding like this, what's wrong with you?" Yami said as he then realized something.
"It's true, when Natsu came for this exam, he had already lost lots of blood, so right now I'm sure he's just trying to stay conscious so he won't die or fail the exams, he's really tough" Yami thought as Natsu then said, "Yami, please hurry up, I'm dieing here"
Yami immediately activated his magic and took Natsu to the rest room as he then went to the counter to ask for what Natsu wanted.
Immediately Yami got it, he ran back to the bathroom and locked it as he looked at Natsu confused.
"Hey, I've brought it, what now, aren't you going to start treating yourself" Yami said being scared and worried.
"I'm sorry Yami, I don't have enough strength to do that, which means you'll have to treat me yourself"
"I can't do that, I've never done it before, what if I kill you instead of curing you"
"Hey don't worry about that, I'll guide you on what to do, you'll just help me treat places I can't reach"
Yami was scared but agreed to it and turned on the shower as Natsu and him began treatment.
Meanwhile, as the rest followed Gildart to the waiting room, Mitsuki didn't see Yami and asked, "Hey, what of Yami, he's talking too long to get here"
"Don't worry about him, I'm sure he's with Natsu having fun" Asahu replied.
"Talking of him, were you guys also surprised with the way the boy fought" Mitsuki asked.
"Yeah, I mean, he was badly injured before the fight but yet he managed to defeat that beast" Asahu said as Kaikuh replied in a shy tone, "Yeah, I mean I never expected him to do that especially since he got no magic"
"Yeah, the boy was really amazing, I now see why Yami likes him" Mitsuki said as Kazuko thought, "What's so special about him, I can defeat the beast he fought but yet they all talk about it like it's a big deal, I hate this"
Gildart opened a door that lead to the waiting room as they saw the other contestants there.
"Okay everyone, we would soon start going but for now just rest, I have something to take care of" Gildart said as he left.
Dr Mayumi and Damian successfully carried the little underdeveloped infant into the lab to be stabilized as Gildart then entered the room.
"I need to know, did the boy really..." Gildart said as Dr Mayumi said, "Surprisingly, he did"
"Yeah, I've never seen such a thing before, yet the boy pulled it off" Damian said as Gildart smiled and said, "Hey Damian, can I ask you for a favor"
"What's it" Damian replied as Gildart said, "Can you grade the boy an S for this exam"
"Trust me, I'd love nothing else than to do that, but the boy wrote two test instead of one" Damian said as a call then came.
"Sir you need to come see this" the scientist said as Damian asked, "What's the problem, what's going on?"
"Sir I'm sorry to say this but you won't believe it unless you see it with your eyes" the scientist said as Damian cut the call and headed towards the place.
"What's the problem, what do I need to see" Damian said as he entered that lab and became speechless.
"Sir, a boy called Natsu brought in this amount of beast" a scientist said as Gildart, Dr Mayumi and Damian didn't know what to say.
"Sir if you don't mind, I don't think an F rank would pull this off, my guess is that he stole other contestant kills..." Another male scientist said as a female one interrupted him.
"You can't prove that, the only creature here are the ants and spiders, which means he went directly into the spider nest to kill it" she said as another male scientist said, "You guys should come see this!!!"
Damian and the rest rushed towards the man as Damian said, "I can't believe this!"
"What's the problem" Dr Mayumi asked as Gildart said, "Yeah, what's going on?"
"We have tried so hard to get the control orb and yet the boy captured it and brought it to us"
"Wait are you talking about the weird looking fruit you're holding" Gildart said as Damian replied, "Yeah"
"What's so special about bringing a fruit" Gildart asked.
"It's not the fruit, but it's what it contains" Damian said as another scientist said, "Sir you must be jocking, there's no way to kid could trap the control orb without being controlled by it"
"I know, that's what's surprising" Damian said as Gildart asked, "Can someone explain this to me?"
"Well you see, the control orb is pretty dangerous as it has the ability to control any being within a certain area. This must be why we're seeing some ants in the pile. But the problem is this, if you kill the wielder of the orb, it automatically enters into you making you either have the ability or taking over you, but the boy managed to seal the control orb without getting it's powers or being controlled by it."
"It's possible that the boy could pull it off without magic but to take all this beast on his own should be impossible..." Dr Mayumi said as Gildart replied, "Unless he was helped out"
"Exactly" Dr Mayumi said as Damian replied, "It's now starting to make sense, how can a kid with low magic energy create a powerful slash?"
"Yeah, this means someone helped him out. To be more specific, enchanted his blades with powerful energy" Dr Mayumi said.
"I know it's acceptable in the adventurers exams but in the hunters exams, isn't it seen as cheating" Gildart asked as Damian replied, "Yes it does, but that doesn't disqualify him, instead it reduces his score by half"
"So what's his grade?" Gildart asked as Damian replied, "That's up to me to decide"
"Come on, just tell me" Gildart pleaded as Damian still refused to tell him.
"Well, I'm sure the higher-ups are going to be the final judge so just wait until then, right now our job is to take them to their next exam" Dr Mayumi said as Gildart replied, "That's true, let's start going, they're waiting for us"
"Wait I'm coming with you guys" Damian said.
"But..." Gildart said as Damian interrupted him and replied, "Don't try to stop me, besides, you should have stopped supervising them a long time ago, so don't complain about me coming along"
"Fine" Gildart said as Damian turned back and told his people to take care of things while he's gone and left.
While the contestants were waiting, Asahu felt like using the restroom, so he went to the counter and asked for directions and left.
"Yami's taking too long, should we go look for him" Kazuko said as Mitsuki replied, "Agreed, maybe he's in the toilet doing something"
"Huh" Kazuko said with a weird look as Mitsuki replied, "Ummm, let's go find him!" As she jumped off her sit while raising her hands up, trying to stop the awkward moment she just created.
"What was she thinking of" Kaikuh thought as Kazuko and Mitsuki started going.
"Wait!" Kaikuh said as Kazuko stopped and looked at her which made her to stammer as she continued, "Ummm, is it okay if I come along?"
Kazuko looked at Mitsuki as Mitsuki didn't mind and said, "Sure why not?"
"Really" Kaikuh replied as Mitsuki said, "Of course, we can get to know each other from there"
"Okay" Kaikuh said as the three began moving.
When Asahu got to the rest room, he realized that the door was locked as he became angry and shouted, "You better come out of there quickly, you can't just..."
Yami brought out his head and looked at Asahu.
"Yami!!! What the hell are you doing in there" Asahu said in shock as he reduced his voice.
"Shhhh, just come in" Yami whispered as Asahu entered into the rest room while Yami looked around and locked the door back.
"What in the world is going on? What's Yami doing in there?" Kazuko asked as she and the girls watched what happened behind a wall.
"I don't know but we have to get closer to the door to hear what they're saying" Mitsuki said as they all looked at each other not knowing what to do.
"Hey, what if someone catches us? What if..." Kaikuh said as Mitsuki replied, "Don't worry about that, I'm sure they won't tell if there life was on the line" as she smiled and looked at Kazuko.
Kazuko sighed and said, "Fine, let's go, I'll take care of everything"
This made Mitsuki happy as the all went to the door.
"They act like sisters, Kazuko is the eldest and Mitsuki the youngest. It must be nice to know someone got your back" Kaikuh thought as she smiled and followed them.
Once they got close to the door they heard a strange noise as they placed their ears to hear it more clearly.
"Ouch that hurts, be a little gentle" Natsu said as Yami replied, "It's my first time okay, you don't expect me to be perfect"
"This isn't right, what you guys are doing is forbidden, how can you drag me in here to see this" Asahu said as Mitsuki and Kaikuh face became red as they thought, "Forbidden!!!"
"What really is going on in there?" Kazuko thought while still trying to understand what's happening.
"I didn't bring you in here to say that, just come help me out so we'll be done with this already" Yami said as Asahu replied, "You're on your own in this, what do you want me to do, help you position it well or something."
Yami looked at him in a weird way, like he was saying what else or something, which made Asahu to be uncomfortable as he replied, "I can't do that, I shouldn't even be here"
"Come on Asahu, I really need your help" Yami said as Asahu looked at Natsu's back and saw the scars on it as he replied, "Fine, I'll help you but I'm not experienced in this kind of things"
"I know, this is also my first time, but we just have to do it" Yami said as Asahu sighed and said, "You know that if we get caught, we would be in big trouble, besides this is a forbidden act"
"Yeah yeah I get it just come help me out, we need to hurry before someone sees us" Yami said as Asahu went close to them not know what to do.
"What's going on in there" Mitsuki asked as Kazuko said, "I don't know but it's something forbidden"
"What should I do?" Asahu asked as Natsu replied, "First take off your clothes, then we can start"
The three girls became lost in thought, "First take off your clothes, don't tell me it's what I think it is" as there faces became red.
"There's no way Yami would do it with a boy, right" Kazuko and Kaikuh thought as Mitsuki was lost in her thoughts, "What does Asahu think he's doing, how can he do such a thing with a guy non the less"
While they were thinking Yami, Asahu and Natsu were shouting as they were using the needle to injure themselves.
"You guys should be gentle, why are your hands shaking, and why are you guys screaming when I'm the one talking everything" Natsu said as Asahu replied, "Don't think this is easy, I'm getting myself hurt here just look at it"
"Yeah, see how hurt I am" Yami said as they both showed there hands to him with blood all over as they stabbed themselves with the needle while trying to stitch his injuries.
"This was a bad idea, but I have no choice since I can't reach my back. I've lost lots of blood already, plus the pain killer I took doesn't feel like it's working. Is it because I'm in so much pain, or is it that it's not strong enough" Natsu thought as he tried to indure while they stitched his injuries.
After a while of drama, they finally finished as they became relieved.
"Finally, we're finally done, I'm surprised no one caught us" Asahu said as Yami replied, "Yeah, but my hands hurt a lot"
"Stretch out your hands" Natsu said to the both of them and treated it as Kaikuh said, "We better go, there done with whatever there doing, we don't want them to know that we saw them, right"
"Yeah, it's better they don't know we were here" Kazuko said as Mitsuki was in rage while the two left.
"What do you think you're doing Mitsuki, let's get out of here" Kazuko said as Mitsuki was pissed off and finally agreed to go with them as they left.
Natsu still tried to remain conscious as Yami carried him to the waiting room, but before that, Yami used his powers to bring two more clothes for himself and Asahu.
Yami wore a black hoodie and black trouser with a black canvas, same with Natsu, although, Natsu hoodie was like a jacket with a white inner, while Asahu wore a black jacket with the same bottom.
As they arrived at the waiting room, it didn't take time before Gildart and the rest arrived as he said, "Okay everyone, it's time to head out for the stage 3 of the Exams" as they began leaving.
