Chapter 165 Power Gauge (Part II)

The order of who was going first was the same. Caren, who was a bit scared, went first. It was called defensive training for a reason.

Doing a test like this would require one to be injured. Otherwise, there was no point in calling this defense training.

Starting the test, Caren dodged every upcoming attack. The first-rank attacks were pretty slow. Dodging all of them, Caren made her way to the second rank.

Caren felt the power, speed, and attacks had all increased. As a result, the pressure on Caren widened. Unable to dodge any more attacks, Caren tried her best to use random magic to protect herself.

With her luck of the draw, she cast a bubble that surrounded her—trying to maintain her shield, her bubble burst along with her finishing the test.

Caren's defense test results were 80% of a second-rank magician's. Her results were a bit better than her attack test. Was all the magic Caren has been casting all in luck?

There was no way for someone to be that lucky. From looking at her, she had straight long white hair and yellow eyes. She had no artifact on her, so her luck wasn't increased from what I saw.

Or was there something more to Caren than what I'm looking at? Maybe I'm just overlooking it. But the chances of her doing what she was doing was extremely low.

Having seen her results, Caren was happy with what she had got. Sometimes her timidness reminds me of the old Livie.

Next up was Teresa. I would think she was shady if I didn't know who Teresa was. Her outfit matched her magic.

She was dressed in black, wearing an oversized hoodie that covered most of her features. Her hair color was black, but that was all I knew about her. One would think they're suspicious of how they look.

'',

Starting her defense test, Teresa had no problem dodging all the bullets coming toward her. She made it look easy with her movement.

Breezing through the first stage, the second stage had begun. Like before, she was dodging them with ease.

,m Later the firing speed of the bullet increased. And Teresa was beginning to feel the pressure and seeing how the next few shots were impossible to dodge.

Teresa had made a barrier out of a shadow. But with the shadow blocking her vision, the next few shots go to her.

Her results were in, and she got 95% of a second-rank magician, which was much better than her power test.

The confidence that she had lost earlier was regained. I could feel that she was brimming with energy after this test.

Next was Noelle. Noelle had no advantage in tests like these. Her magic was ineffective in a defensive test.

Seeing how well she would do on a test like this would be interesting—beginning the test, as everyone did. Noelle had passed the first part of the defensive test with ease.

The second level was where the challenge truly began. No one had passed the second stage. With the power and speed ramping up, I could see sweat coming out from Noelle.

Due to her fighting style, she had to be nimble. She was sort of like an assassin-type character. She was an agility and skill type. With each round of magic getting harder and harder, Noelle would fall sooner or later.

After dodging the bullet in mid-air, the following few bullets came down raining, making it impossible for Noelle to dodge.

Ending the test with that, Noelle scored 98% of a rank two magician. She had almost gone to the third level. Noelle's power was weak, but she had the intuition and speed to make up for her shortcoming.

Noelle, on that note, it was Maddison's turn. I felt Maddison's results would be the worst in a test like this.

'',

I could imagine her using her magic to tank all the hits. And that wouldn't look so pretty. I hope she won't do that.

With the berserker in front, the examination had begun. Maddison, unlike the others, had broken through all the magic bullets with her fist.

There was no reason for her to do that. She could dodge and waste less energy. She was beating the first stage by punching all the bullets.

After finishing came the second stage. The bullets here were much more potent and faster. Maddison, who quickly punched them, started to feel pain from her fist.

Unable to take it, she upped her magic and started going mad. I didn't think she would do this, but it was somehow working.

Fainting from the pain, Maddison scored 80% of a second-rank magician. It wasn't that bad. Caren, who was picked to take Maddison out, did so for Serena.

Serena, who went, had it easy for the first-stage bullets. The second stage came, and the bullets still couldn't affect her.

Serena had just stood there and had already beaten all four easily. Now that the third stage has started, trouble will come her way.

I had never seen what the third stage was. But looking at it, the pacing became much faster. Serena, who was at ease, was now struggling to keep up.

Having no chance to dodge Serena then created a barrier making her last a bit longer. Having to take more bullets, the barrier broke, and Serena's test ended.

Serena had gotten 55% of a third rank, which was much better than her rank. Now that Serena had finished, the test was finished. Cynthia didn't need my results, but I would do it later.

Cynthia nodded at the results and had expected what they had gotten. And seeing what they could do, Cynthia would make a training guide.

"Charlie, are you going to do the defensive test?" Serena asked curiously about what I would get. I didn't mind, so I did.

Doing the test, my results ended at 3% of a fourth-rank magician. It was much lower than my attack, but my magic was better.
