Koma Inu's S Class Trials year x794: Scorpius part 1

Why does it have to be a riddle? Scorpius thought as he was readying himself for the first part of the trial. He had his hand hovering over the water breathing potion like he was getting ready for a quick draw. ''I have got to do well this time. I've spent two years getting ready for this. Let's go!''

Scorpius, as a water mage, has the advantage in speed as he can control the currents around him. ''Hopefully the riddle I find doesn't require much thought, and more on speed. '' Just then Miss Inari gave the signal, and Scorpius and the others grabbed the potions and chugged them down. Scorpius then ran forward into the water to a point where he was able to swim.

''Time to have some fun. ''Scorpius thought as he became relaxed and in tune with the currents. Just then he saw Niklas dart past, and everyone else close behind about to pass him. ''Crap! I've got to go!'' So Scorpius manipulated the currents and cruised threw the water at amazing speed, catching up to Niklas before turning to go to another area of the ruins than him.

As he approached the ruins, Scorpius slowly began to realize the magnificence of the fallen buildings and statues in it's water grave.
