The other side of Toitei Academy.
"The fourth level of the retest has begun." The staff announced from the high platform.
"In the fourth level, you will face the challenge together with your 'companions'. It is divided into three levels. In each level, stronger opponents will appear. During this period, whether you or your companions are eliminated, the challenge will fail."
"This level will be scored based on the number of levels passed. Each level is worth 10 points. It does not require passing all levels."
"Now, come forward in order and start the challenge."
After the announcement, everyone was talking about it. This time, no one took the initiative to step forward. Instead, they wanted to see how others passed the level first so that they could learn from experience.
The staff above were not surprised by this, but instead posted a time schedule with the assessment time [2:00 pm - 7:00 pm]
This means that if you register too late, the assessment may end before your turn.
"Huh, what a coward." The girl in the flowing gold skirt stepped forward again as the first student to take the assessment.
"Paura is the first to participate and will be awarded 2 points." the staff announced, and then started the assessment.
"Wow, if I had known that points would be awarded for being the first one, I would have entered earlier." Someone discussed below.
"However, having an intelligence disadvantage on the first one is not necessarily a good thing."
"Stop talking, let's watch first."
Paura and her golden scorpion walked into the venue, and in the empty space opposite, a white crystal core emerged from the bottom, and then two blue rays of light were emitted from the sky above the venue to converge it.
Soon, the crystal core heated up rapidly and vibrated, and finally exploded suddenly. A burst of crystal mist dispersed, and then gathered together to form a giant beast with fangs, shaped like a tiger.
Original Sequence 3·Silent Crystal Tooth Beast (Standard Dark Silver Level)
A puppet creature temporarily formed from a magic crystal core, controlled by other extraordinary beings or AI behind it, and is often used as a training object.
Although it is a consumable for training, the cost of creating such a phantom beast is not low. It is estimated that only a wealthy school like Toito Academy will use it on a large scale.
"The challenge begins!"
After giving the order, the phantom crystal beast, which simulated a real alien beast, rushed out and rushed towards the weak golden scorpion like a tiger.
"Tsk." The brown-haired girl in the gold skirt frowned, then raised her hand, and golden rotating saucers appeared on their sides, rushing towards the phantom beast, trying to stop the puppet beast from attacking frantically.
These golden flying saucers had five leaves. After briefly accelerating in the air, they rushed to the attack route of the Silhouette Beast and collided with it.
The rapidly rotating blades scraped up pieces of blue debris. It also shattered in the impact and scattered all over the ground. This attack only slowed down the speed, but the Phantom Crystal Beast still hit the golden scorpion and took it flying.
Facing the golden scorpion flying in the air, the Silhouette Beast still refused to give up. It jumped up suddenly, swung its sharp claws, and directly slapped it down, making a small hole in the ground, leaving it paralyzed and unable to move.
Then the phantom crystal beast fell down and directly pressed the golden scorpion to the ground with its palm, causing it to struggle continuously.
"Roar——" The Silhouette Beast muttered, turning its beast eyes towards Paura, who was charging towards her, as if to warn her, and also to threaten her.
Should we still attack at this time, or should we give up the attack temporarily for the sake of our 'companions'? The first girl to participate in the challenge felt a choice.
"It's really evil..." She muttered and lowered her arms, then slowly backed away, staring at the phantom beast.
"Roar--"
Seeing this, the magical crystal beast seemed a little satisfied. It released the golden scorpion under its feet, then sprayed a mouthful of crystal sand, making its body heavy and stiff, and then swept it away with a palm, letting it return to Paura's side. .
This kind of crystal sand is not fatal, but it has side effects on the next challenge. It makes it difficult for the Golden Scorpion to move, and it becomes difficult to absorb the Ajika particles in the atmosphere, and it is difficult to clean up in a short time.
This is still the first puff. If he sprays two more puffs, this golden scorpion will completely lose its mobility and be declared a failure and exit.
The challenge entered a difficult moment, and the spectators in the audience were also talking a lot.
"It feels very difficult."
"If I go up there, it probably won't be much better."
"I am a Sequence 2 myself. Even if I add a Sequence 2 partner, it is still too difficult to defeat the Sequence 3 Phantom Crystal Beast."
In the venue, Paura first tried to clean up the crystal sand attached to the golden scorpion, but she soon realized that such behavior consumes a lot of magic power. If it is cleaned up, it means that there will not be much power to fight in the future.
Sequence 2 is only the starting stage for extraordinary people. Many people's abilities are not perfect, and their magic power reserves are not large, so they cannot squander it so extravagantly.
"We can only continue." Paura frowned and put down the golden scorpion, and then rushed over by herself.
Seeing this, the tiger-like Phantom Crystal Beast charged again.
"The art of golden sparkle: Thousand needles piercing the sky."
Golden light spots floated in the air, surrounding Paura's body. Then she clenched her fist suddenly, and these floating light spots instantly gathered together to form extremely slender long needles.
A buzzing sound passed through the atmosphere, and these long needles pierced the charging Silhouette Beast, piercing into its body.
"Broken!" She shouted again, and the golden needles in the Phantom Crystal Beast's body bloomed instantly, flashing golden spots in the blue body.
The broken golden thorns inside did not disintegrate the Silhouette, but it also caused its body to suddenly stiffen, and it missed the target of the attack. The body rolled sideways to the ground, bringing up a large amount of soil, and crashed into the far wall.
After using this move, Paura was almost powerless. She was sweating on her forehead and her body was shaky. After all, she was only Sequence 2. Even with the secret technique passed down from her family, she had now reached her limit.
"Clark, come on!" She weakly directed the 'partner' beside her to attack, and soon the little guy rushed over.
The phantom beast lying on its side is still struggling. The golden needles and thorns in its body are flickering, making it difficult to move. However, as time goes by, these golden light spots are slowly weakening, and sooner or later they will dissipate.
"Ah, that golden scorpion rushed forward."
"Look, it jumped directly onto the Silhouette's head."
"That's the sting, right? The bright red shining on its tail is almost all of its magic power."
"It's been stabbed and pierced into the Silhouette's ear. Let's see if it works."
In the venue, the phantom crystal beast kept struggling, finally getting rid of the golden scorpion on its head, and then barely stood up. When it tried to rush towards the golden scorpion again, its body was shaky and finally fell to the ground.
"Paura, pass!"
"Wow, I passed the first level. It's not easy."
"Congratulations to Paola, do you want to continue the challenge?" the staff above asked.
"Can I give it a try? Although it is unlikely that I will win, I still want to see the scene in the second level."
"Okay, Paola-san." The staff above nodded and waved.
Three white crystal nuclei emerged at the same time, and the blue light above them converged. After a burst of vibration and intense heat, the three crystal nuclei transformed into three phantom crystal beasts, in the form of a tiger, a goshawk, and a swift wolf.
"I give up." After reading this, Paola decisively gave up. She would definitely not be able to beat such a lineup.
"It's okay. As the first student to reach the second level, Paola will be rewarded with 2 points. The final score is 14 points."
"Then, please invite the next student to come forward."
