Finn was going to take the test today. he had sold his carriage and horses to the merchants. he actually could have used them in the future but the problem was that the carriage and horses were actually the property of the merchant association and they had let Finn borrow them. he paid all the money back and with no hard feelings, he cut all ties with the merchants.
Finn was heading for the adventurers guild so he could do the test. he had received basic ideas of what he should do when he entered the guild. he was wearing a white shirt with horizontal black stripes, a jacket with tailcoats, black trousers and brown leather shoes. he was looking more like a butler than someone who wanted to be an adventurer. he gained a few lustful looks from women and teenage girls. he saw them all but pretended to not notice.
he had reached the guild building and was just staring at the large doors before he let out a short breath and pushed the doors open.
he saw that the guild building was similar to what Marv had described to him. there were people in all kinds of armour and carrying different weapons. he heard a few shouts from people who were drinking merrily and some waitresses handing out alcohol. he smiled mysteriously to himself.
Finn entered the building and immediately all the noise within the building died down as everybody stared at Finn who had entered. Finn had run his fingers through his combed hair before he headed to the guild receptions on the left. everybody's eyes followed Finn's movements as he held his hands behind his back similar to a butler.
{why is there a butler here...was he sent by some noble?}
this was what the majority of the adventurers thought as they watched Finn head for a single woman who stood behind a counter. when Finn approached the woman he gave his best smile and asked if he could take the adventurers test.
when the woman heard Finn's request she was surprised as she had thought that such a pretty boy was here for something else. not reacting the way Finn thought she would, another woman came to the counter and coughed a bit gaining the attention of both Finn and the woman behind the counter.
"How may we help you, sir?"
the woman had a wide smile on her face as she asked what Finn wanted. realizing that the woman was another employee Finn told her his request to take the adventurers quest. the woman smiled as she led Finn to another counter to handle the paperwork.
having lost a pretty boy the first lady sighed before she placed her head on the counter grumbling to herself. Finn went through an easy process and paid a single gold coin so he could take the test. Finn was excited to meet his examiner so he followed the woman down the corridor leading to the examination room. he saw the damp room and cracked ceiling. he smiled at the sight of them and simply thanked the woman for her help. but the woman wasn't leaving without getting something.
to Finn's surprise just as he was about to forget about the woman he felt somebody grabbing his face and forcing a kiss on his lips. Finn was let go after what was two minutes of deep kissing with their tongues intertwining. the woman winked at him before she left the room in silence. Finn wasn't sure of how to react but a devilish smile was on his face.
{probably best to remember where she works.}
with that taken care of, Finn looked to the damp room and felt a new presence. he then saw somebody was eating bread in the corner with a smug grin on their face.
the woman was wearing a white chest plate and had two daggers hung by her waist with chains attached to the daggers. she had her long purple hair tied in a ponytail. she had bright pink lipstick and pearl-white teeth.
"wow...I almost thought you were a loyal butler to a noble...seems you're actually a playboy."
"is that an issue?"
"no, not really...my job is to test your adventuring capability not question your life choices."
the woman stood up still grinning and walked over to Finn. she looked him up and down before she turned around and tapped her foot in the centre of the room. a magic radiance covered the room with her foot as the centre. the room suddenly enlarged and Finn found himself standing on bare ground. his surroundings stretched for what seemed to be endless. Finn looked around a bit as he agreed that everything was similar to what Marv had told him.
the woman was watching Finn look around and had a smile on her face as she thought that this was probably the first time Finn had seen a venue dimension.
she then called for Finn's attention and unstrapped the two daggers on her waist. instead of holding them in her hands, she let them hit the ground. Finn watched her actions carefully as he simply smiled and formed a golden longsword in each of his hands.
"oh!"
the woman was slightly surprised that Finn was a spell blade swordsman. she still was sure that she could defeat Finn so she didn't worry. she took a position just 90 metres from Finn as he held his two longswords before him in an X position. the woman raised her left hand as an indication that she was ready and Finn nodded to indicate that he understood.
everything was silent for a while before Finn jumped forth to attack. his steps turned from simple hops to quick sprinting and within 3 seconds he had already reached the woman. the woman widened her eyes in shock as she watched Finn raise his left longsword high above his head. a golden light was shining at the tip of the blade and was quickly covering the edges of the blade. Finn smirked as he brought the sword down with his left foot planted into the ground.
the woman simply flicked her right thumb upwards and one of the daggers suddenly rose to counter the sword.
"CLANG!"
the sound of metal striking metal could be heard as Finn took a few steps back with his right longsword in front of him. he was still smirking as he saw the two daggers that were originally on the ground rise into the air. they floated around the woman with the chains dragging on the ground and interlacing with each other.
{telekinesis huh?...ok, I'll have fun breaking you.}
Finn licked his lips as he stood straight and let both his swords hit the ground. he stretched his neck a bit before he activated his [skycutter] skill. the golden light in the shape of a four-pointed star started forming at the tip of both his blades and was spreading across the surface. the Latin engravings changed to shapes similar to Egyptian hieroglyphics. soon the blades were emanating golden light that was not too bright but wasn't dull either. the light turned to golden dust as it left the blade and slowly disappeared as it fell to the ground.
as for Finn, his eyes were glowing bright yellow with his black pupils being replaced by two golden flames once more. he didn't activate his inheritance skill though so he didn't turn into a muscular monster. he was still smiling as he took slow steps towards the woman who had now stopped using her telekinesis skill. her daggers fell to the ground as she was shocked.
Finn was now releasing large waves of power that shook the ground under his feet. he raised both his swords high into the air. then with half of his full strength, he brought the swords to the ground. instantly cracking the ground under his feet and sending earth flying everywhere. the next thing to happen can be described in a single word.
"destruction."
this was what Finn had brought with his swords as he struck the ground. a large crack appeared in the ground and immediately expanded to be a 10-metre wide ravine that stretched towards the woman. the ground shook as several cracks appeared from the ravine to the venue dimension. this entire test had happened in 40 seconds yet Finn had already cracked open the venue dimension with a single skill that was meant for aerial attacks.
several cracks appeared in the sky and they started connecting with each other forming webs that started expanding before the entire dimension came crashing down.
the woman widened her eyes in astonishment as she sunk to her knees while almost peeing herself. Finn was smirking as he destroyed the longswords and his eyes reverted to his dark pupils. he brushed a few specks of dirt off his suit as he pocketed his hands and peered at the woman.
he released a powerful aura as he stepped towards the woman and whispered by her left ear.
"so...have I passed? or do I have to bribe you with my body."
