Once the target is re-installed, the man is immediately asked to show his true abilities. Unabashedly, when the man moves and uses a basic magic, not a Magic Missile or a Fireball, but which appears in his hands turns to the ground and clumps until it hardens like a rock.
"Earth Bullet!!!" The man screamed loudly and the bullet-like ground sped quickly from his hand and towards the target.
A magic that is quite strong and not inferior to Cody's Fireball. The crushed power that exists in magic is not inferior to the basic magic that Cody uses, as a result which protectors are on the target showing certain cracks.
Although not as devastated as Cody did, the man has already gained the attention of other participants including testers and assessors. They all saw the shape of the man's body again the magic power he had. Everything seemed very balanced again strong.
"A great, strong man. He's really capable of using that power that well, Derek... Can you use the same thing as that?" asked Pino, he was very interested in the man's abilities, and using basic magic as strong as that must have made him jealous.
"Pino... Pino, you've always been like this. He is not a nobleman, but he has a power that can be juxtaposed with someone from the nobility. He's quite well known in this town, I hear he's been asked to work under the nobility, but he doesn't accept it. Now, you're going to be more and more amazed by this place, just look at the others. He's Marivaldi, by the way," Derek said. He does not have strong powers, but he has better knowledge than others.
"Such a power must be great, it is not easy to have such a large power without an endorsement. How can someone as strong as him exist without the right support? It's hard, Derek!!! Don't say anything that makes him seem difficult to deal with," said Pino, who was somewhat unhappy with Derek's words telling Pino about Marivaldi's powerful power.
"No one praises him too highly, he does have such power without any clear support. You've seen his own abilities, haven't I told you a lie? He's tough and I'm not exaggerating him," Derek said, presumably he was a little uncomfortable with the reply Pino gave while noticing how capable Marivaldi had.
Moments after they discussed Marivaldi's abilities. The release was seen by several other participants who began to enter the stage and were tested. There are other nobles, but they don't have the ability to be considered as Cody has, the nobles are only in the Marivaldi range. Their abilities are above the average of ordinary people but that doesn't mean they all deserve the title of genius.
Some of the royals who came forward and showed their abilities could not be seen in the eyes, but they also did not deserve to be juxtaposed with Cody. Although they are strong, they are not much different from the other participants.
Eventually Derek is called to show his ability, and in this position, Pino gives him support. "Don't get restless, stay calm, and focus. Derek... It's not that complicated for you, you can do it now."
"Sure, Pino. I'm going to finish this to the best of my ability, you're going to see my strength and don't let you be surprised by it. I went up first," Derek said as he responded to Pino's support.
Pino glanced around and didn't see any big noise like it did a while ago, he really didn't expect the other participants to be that tense. The atmosphere feels much different from some time when he entered the hall, initially carefree and full of energy but nowadays the atmosphere disappears and is replaced with anxiety and gloom that ordinary people cannot understand.
Just a few minutes into Derek's time on stage, he's using basic magic to hit the target precisely. His strength is not great but his control is good enough that he can get something good anyway. With this success, he is increasingly confident and ready to move on to the next exam.
When Pino was about to congratulate Derek, he heard his name called and soon he calmly took to the stage after glancing at Derek at a glance.
"Calm down and focus, don't let you make mistakes like the other participants. Don't mess things up... You can start," said the tester, warning Pino because he was uncomfortable with the failures in the other participants just because they were too nervous and restless.
Nodding his head as he glanced at the tester, Pino did not feel any bad intentions from the man, so he smiled kindly while replying. "Thank you, I know what I have to do, can I do it now?"
As soon as he got permission, he immediately pulled out the Magic Missile and threw it and then turned down leaving the stage while his magic shot was still in the middle of the track.
Upon seeing Pino leaving his position, the tester reprimanded him with a loud voice, "Where are you going? Don't leave your position or you'll be disqualified."
"You'll find out, sir. I finished it, so I went down and rushed to the next place," Pino said confidently. None of the arrogance he displayed was merely a fact. He fires a magic five times at a time and goes straight down without seeing it.
He already knows the results, so he doesn't have to see them anymore, however well he understands his abilities, and he also knows his abilities are not an ordinary ability.
When the tester tried to reprimand him again, he heard a big explosion and the sound came from the target's place in the form of the scarecrow. When he saw the condition of the target, he shook his head and stared at Pino who came down from the stage while sticking his tongue out.
Not only was he a man who felt distrust of the event, but Cody, the other participants, even the appraisers were amazed by him. Such high confidence and proper composure make Pino the center of attention with just one move and make all previous appearances like an appetizer alone.
"Pino, your magic is so strong!!! Not only precise and accurate but has an explosive power that is not inferior to Cody, it's terrible you are. Are you still hiding something?" asked Derek once Pino was in front of him.
Shaking his head, of course, how he was able to tell Derek about his entire abilities. He's just doing what he's been taking into account, the results are the same as he thinks, so he's not too surprised by the questions that come up.
"Absolutely not, I just rely on calmness and focus," Pino replied.
Moments after the admiration of the participants disappeared, those who passed were immediately called forward to conduct their main test.
