Chapter 20 Sophia Ash
A few seconds later, Emelia spread her arms wide open in the air, mumbling something under her breath. Immediately afterward, all the laser beams seemed to have met a barrier that the moment they got close to her, it was almost as if they had lost the energies in their attacks.
While everyone was too stupefied to understand what was happening.
"Spirit magic." Morgan suddenly said out loud."Although spirit magic is considered quite strong, however, that is for those with extraordinary willpower to exact their ability to full potential. When paired with low willpower, it becomes incredibly weak."
Watching Morgan explain what was happening by the side, no one knew if she was praising her or was just stating facts. However, one thing was for sure, symbiote beast wasn\'t the only powerful thing.
The staff in Emelia\'s hand suddenly emitted a loud but steady howl, the next moment blue Halo could be seen around her, and weird crawling runes began to appear on the surface of her staff.
Apparently, everyone realized she was trying to use her spirit magic to attack the targets. Yet the rate of her drawing out the spirit magic seemed to be taking too long.
The moment her spirit magic was completely drawn out, a one-meter blue wolf could be seen and it had completely white eyes. As though it had a mind of its own, the spirit wolf rose to the sky as fast as possible and fiercely charged at the target.
However, upon coming into contact with the target, it shrunk a bit from the impacting hardly against the target and let out a howl, this time of pain.
In her last attempt, to attack the target again, Emelia failed. Unfortunately, while she was putting too much attention on trying to get a better score at strength, since the spirit wolf wasn\'t there to shield her from the laser beams, a net of laser beams struck her from behind making the spirit wolf puff out.
After her overall evaluation, Morgan said she wasn\'t completely sure of what rank she should be given, because in terms of agility she didn\'t really make any movements, even in terms of speed she didn\'t do well. Lastly, in terms of strength, she did poorly even though she had used all her power to strike the target.
Morgan stared at her for a moment, making Emelia lower her head before telling her the result.
"While your staff might be powerful, your lack of proper control and willpower makes all of that pretty useless. In the end, no matter how powerful your staff might be, it is just a weapon because of that your rank shall be rank 2.0."
After she was done talking, she lightly touched the third holography panel in front of her before drawing it back into the digital watch, leaving only two panels behind.
Briefly looking at the number her bracelet was displaying, Emelia clenched her staff tightly. Looking at her pensive expression and teary eyes, Bernard could tell she was extremely disappointed with her result.
While Bernard had double thoughts about the test, he still thought her staff was extremely powerful but then looking at how she was almost pulling her eyes out, needless to say, he could only agree Morgan\'s evaluation was on point. Still, even though he felt bad for her, she likely wasn\'t expecting to be graded as just a rank 2 with the aid of such powerful staff, however, in comparison to her rank 2.0 score, Bernard thought the truly pitiful person was himself.
He could already imagine how strict the academy would be, Bernard was starting to realize when evaluating a person they neither care about the person nor their feelings, however, it was not like they were there for some holidays right?
After her, the next person that would have taken the test was Ryan Stone. However, after watching most of them getting hurt and failing continuously, he became completely overwhelmed by fear, rather to be precise his symbiote beast was scared sh*tless refusing to even come out.
So they had to let him be, and shift to the next person which was Sophia Ash. The moment her name was called, most of the boys shifted their eyes to stare at Bernard who had almost been humiliated by her.
Looking at her, if anything could be said at first glance was the fact among their group she was the only person that appeared to be unfazed by the test or the AI bots\' dangerous laser beams. Each and every step of hers were firm and filled with utmost confidence, almost like the test meant nothing to her.
After a few seconds, she had arrived at a close range of the AI bots waiting for Morgan to start the test.
The moment Morgan tapped her digital watch and Sophia stepped into the detection range of the AI bots, several laser beams appeared from random corners shooting themselves at her.
Standing where she was, Sophia saw seven laser beams coming from both sides, pressing her right leg on the ground she suddenly threw a backflip dodging the first set of laser beams, then while in mid-air she kept spinning her body dodging a couple more laser beams before landing softly on the ground.
Sophia kept moving left and right, dodging every laser beam coming towards her, and immediately she was done Sophia thought it was time for her to get serious. This time around, she was tired of dodging and finally decided it was time to finish everything.
Moving slightly to the side, she suddenly dashed forward leaving a series of laser beams behind her shadow. Stretching out her hands, the moment her hands were within a few centimeters away from the target she formed energy powering up her fist with tremendous momentum and began fiercely sending out punches after lunch making the mannequin target from barely vibrating into making loud ringing noises gradually putting fist dent on the surface.
This eventually went on for a minute almost as if she could tell where they would come from, she dodged every laser beam with breathtaking speed yet still hammered the target.
The target kept on emitting ringing sounds, while the laser beams seemed to be increasing their firing speed incredibly to halt her movements and punches.
Yet, her speed was too high, and soon the target inevitably fell to the ground after sending the head flying with a punch.
