Dragon Gunfire's Promotional Trial: Assault on Aether's Island

Aether and the candidates landed on the ground next to the pit. "The final portion of the test was to see how well you could work with others, as well as judge your levels of compassion. I've judged each of you accordingly.  This year, multiple people have been elevated to S-Class.  They are-"  Suddenly something pierced through Aether's Jutsu Shiki barrier. "That's impossible." Before anyone could react, that same object struck Aether, blasting him away and into a rack formation. He had barely activated his Plasma Armor protecting him from the attack, but only enough to keep him alive.

"Not very many people can survive my Kishin Soul," said Julius Kaizer. "Actually, I think you're the first. He's all yours boss!"

Aether's eyes widened when he saw who the "boss" was. "Jason Gaebolg."

Jason walked up to Aether and pointed a finger gun at him. "Revenge will be mine at last." He began charging magical energy into his fingertips.

Miriam and Odin tried to intervene. "Hastam Omnipotens!" He turned into a sword and struck both of them down in one hit, even piercing through Odin's wooden barrier.

"No!" called out Walter. He charged as well, but before he could get to far, a newcomer was already upon him.

"Golden Shuriken!" He threw the Shuriken at Walter, cutting his stomach, and he fell to the ground. William tried to intervene, but he was still weak, despite Chase's magic, and was defeated in one kick by Verve Adams.

"No more interruptions," said Jason as he was nearly done casting his spell.
