Chapter 94 A Field Test (Part II)

With our battling beginning, Ms. Colorful then opened a cage, and the monster walked out of its cage.

Olivia, our support, had begun to conjure easy food to eat. She had given the three of us a snackable with mana concentrate.

Taking a bite out of it, I felt my mana increase by ten percent. Rebecca was surprised by Olivia's abilities. With Reece, there standing without any trace of change of emotion.

Our peacock teacher looked interested in Olivia. I then took out my sword and got ready to attack. The monster that we would be facing was a tiger with two horns on the side of its head.

Unlike the monster being docile before, the tiger made a loud roar trying to shake us up. It was one of the stronger third-rank monsters, and that roar it made had shaken all of my team.

My group members were affected by the monster's roar, I had expected more from the other two, but there wasn't much I could do about it.

Rebecca, who was snared, snapped out of her snared state. She, who was usually a proud person, felt insulted.

Running in rage, Rebecca dashed in, in anger. I couldn't just let the princess run alone and fight against the beast. I would prefer that we finish the monster early without doing much.

Reece was next to snap out of her snared state and summoned some cotton around the lion. Rebecca and I were charging at the tiger with it running toward us.

Olivia also felt less intimidated and started going to the corner to hide from the battle. Our clash began when Rebecca teleported close to the tiger's back.

I was in the front, taking the aggro of the tiger, and Rebecca was in the flank, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The tiger in front of me lunged right at me, using its left claws, trying to swipe me. Now that I think about it, wouldn't this be a problem if a student got killed?

Using my sword, I tried to parry the upcoming attack. Our clash had started, and I was already on the losing end. Rica, who had already had cotton around the tiger, had helped me absorb the blow.

Rebecca, who was behind, ran in and stabbed him somewhere in the back with a black dagger. The monster roared in pain, having strengthened in power. My sword and I were pushed back a few feet, landing entirely still.

The monster who was on me now turned around and went for Rebecca. Angered by Rebecca's blow, the beast ran toward her, trying to get revenge.

Rebecca wasn't worried at all. In fact, she was amused by the reaction of the tiger monster. With the tiger on Rebecca, Rebecca instantly went on top of the tiger's back and pierced the tiger's eyes.

Howling in pain, I took the chance and stabbed it in the back, which Rebecca had already done. The battle was set in place. It was dying already from the blood loss we had caused. Rebecca then landed the final blow and stabbed it in the torso.

With the tiger dead, our exam had finished. It was easier than expected. From the looks of it, Rebecca already had experiences killing monsters as strong as this.

Maybe that was why the teacher was so confident that Rebecca would win even if she had no teammates to help.

"What a wonderful performance!" Ms. Colorful clapped, impressed by the display of skill that we had performed.

"Now that I think about it, the two of you haven't introduced yourselves. What are both of your names?"

"I'm Charlie, and this is Olivia. We're from the country of Star State" I gave what information was needed to our teacher.

Ms. Colorful nodded and began to speak. "An impressive battle indeed, Olivia, who had empowered everyone before the battle. Charlie, the decoy, Reece, was helping Charlie and Rebecca, who had been injured." Our peacock teacher started to compliment us on our test.

"Now that is done, please go to the corner and wait for the next contestant to start." Done with her compliment, she told us to leave the arena.

Going to where the rest of our class was, people surrounded Rebecca asking her questions. I didn't want to participate, so I dragged Olivia to the other side. Reece, who didn't seem bothered, stayed in the crowd.

It was a good thing that no one came to bother us. Thinking about it, I heard someone come over and talk to us.

"Congrats on your victory," The elf who came over said as she congratulated Olivia and me.

"That a nice magic you have," Sonya told Olivia, and Sonya then looked at me with a bit of interest.

"Thanks? Sonya, right?" I didn't want to mispronounce her name by accident. It would have been awkward if I did.

"Hmm" She nodded, implying that I had it corrected. "I had noticed that you didn't use magic in your fight. Why is that?" Sonya, who was curious, asked.

"I just simply didn't need to use it." There was no reason to show all my strength when our team could defeat it without me using any magic.

"You're really not talkative, are you?" I don't know why she was trying to start a conversation with me, even if I hadn't shown my magic. My performance also wasn't that praiseworthy. If you compared it to someone like Rebecca.

"Is there something you want?" I didn't know what her motive was, so I asked.

"Nope, I just wanted to get to know everyone." I then looked at her weirdly. Did she have a personality change? I swear that she did a 180 from yesterday's performance.

"Did I do something weird?" Sonya was confused about the way I looked at her. I shook my head and denied such a thing.

While the both of us were talking, our teach, Ms. Colorful decided on which group was to go next.
