After spending my time planning Wulfgar's training I finally finished solving all my side tasks and I can dedicate my time to improve my elementary art as this is the best option to strengthen me in the short time I have before the final test. of the year to end.
Taking my basic daily training to strengthen my body and spending my time caring for Wulfgar and exposing him to my aura in a subtle and indirect way, this is one of the most effective methods for training a mate to recognize their owner's aura. I decided to focus on a few elemental arts as as I learned many of them, I decided to focus on the art of Red Blade and Invisible Blade.
These two arts are my main sources of offensive power and I have been trying to use them in a harmonic way a fusion is very difficult for my current skills and knowledge so to be able to use offensive arts tabs at the same time and the best way to increase quickly my offensive power.
I decided to try this harmony because the properties of these arts are complementary and their activation characteristics don't interfere with each other, I want to be able to create a sharp blade with a lot of heat concentrated in it. I believe my sword will have an increased ability to cut through solid defenses like the defense of a shield warrior from the earth element.
The earth element and one of my most striking disadvantages my blades don't have an ability to break through solid earth element defenses if I don't have an advantage in equipment or in the quality and quantity of aura, I won't be able to pierce the earth element defense.
But with a sword that combines a huge amount of heat and a cutting flux I can be able to melt and cut a solid defense of the earth element or a different element, but unfortunately this has proven difficult for mine the more heat I gather in mine. harder sword and form the airflow with my wind element because of the heat I'm having a hard time concentrating the wind element to create a sharp and durable blade.
Over the next few weeks, I devoted to my training only to have partial success in harmonizing my offensive arts I still not only able to make my elemental arts harmonize at full power I'm just able to use a little more of the elemental energy than I usually do. i am able to use when performing my elemental arts.
But even though I can only use half the elemental energy I can control I'm still able to create a strong blade, but its power is basically the same as when I only use one of the elemental arts on my blade, so it's still not really worth using. the harmonization of two elemental arts as it is more difficult to keep it stable than using only the Red Blade or the Invisible Blade art.
So, my last desperate attempt at training for the test was incomplete so I consider it a failure as my test ability has not improved. Test day fell on a siesta and that morning I got together with my friends to talk and avoid getting too worried about the test.
The audition would be explained at eight o'clock in the auditorium so we had plenty of time to relax before the audition during which time both Hilda and Ingredi spent their time playing with Wulfgar before I took him to my room, I made enough food and water to last a few days for Wulfgar, even though the test should end soon and it's always good to be prepared if those changes.
I met Hilda in the auditorium and saved the arrival of the examiner who would explain the rules of the test and to my surprise, a teacher I had never seen before was responsible for this exam. Professor Balder.
"Good morning everybody. I hope you rested well during the night because today's test won't be easy."
"The test is summed up in two parts, one of them and the minimum requirements to be able to participate in it that most of you have already achieved it, but unfortunately for some students who failed to meet these requirements and they are already failing when leaving the auditorium these students will be taken out by one of the institute staff and escorted out of the institute, I hope there's not even an embarrassing scene today."
"It is for those who pass the first part you will have to enter the illusory rune matrix, it will be a practical and quick test for those who survive the matrix will have passed this test and if they speak you will be referred to a third test to have a chance of prove their worth, if they speak again, they will be expelled from the institute."
"For those who don't know the illusory matrix, they should pay close attention now because I won't repeat myself later. Upon entering the matrix, you will have to face a custom test for you the illusory matrix will test you in whatever way it decides to be the best way to test your qualities, it can be a test of survival, combat, over control of your aura or mana and even already hear theoretical tests, in short, the matrix will test both your strengths and weaknesses during the next few hours. You entered groups in the matrix, it and capable of generating ten different scenarios at the same time."
"Prepared or not your test will begin immediately, all of you should follow me to the matrix room."
The examiner leaves the room not caring if he was being followed or not, I pulled Hilda and Ingredi not to be too far behind because strangely most students are slightly shocked, I find this strange although the test is more direct than I thought before, I wasn't overwhelmed by the aggressiveness and uncertainty of the test to stay so I think it's strange that the students got stuck and it was only when I was leaving the auditorium that the students were waking up from their unusual state.
Maybe the examiner did some trick to cause this delay in the students' response I think it's weird that I didn't feel any different during his speech. As I was only a few meters behind the examiner so I didn't risk losing him, the test room was not too far when entering it I was only able to see a wall formed by a fog and in front of it several chairs that must be for the students.
Upon arriving at the examiner, he already motioned for me and the girls to stand in front of the fog and get ready to enter the matrix, it seems that the order to enter the matrix will be the order of arrival in the room. I used my eyes to study the matrix only to get frustrated beyond the runes at the edge of the matrix I can't see through the fog the mana and what I believe is the illusion element and the first time I see it in my eyes was an energy with different colors mixed and moving.
But because of the concentration of energy in the fog I can't see inside the matrix and that's as annoying as not being able to see the energy that must flow inside the dungeon, not being able to see accurately and really frustrating for me for two reasons one is dangerous when my vision is blocked and second and as I have become dependent on my eyes, they are very helpful to avoid using them.
It took a few minutes for some students to enter the test room and only after ten students were in front of the fog did the examiner give the order to enter the matrix. When passing through the fog I felt that I had gone through not only a layer of mana but also of water, the sensation of passing through the snow was like going through a screen of water. The strange thing is that I haven't seen the water element in her before it seems that the illusion element not only affects vision but all the senses of the body.
The illusion element is more terrifying than I imagined it was if it can affect all the senses of the body an intelligent mage must be cloaks and create illusions through several different methods besides a direct attack, they must be able to use intermediaries like vibrations and light. Before I found myself it worked like the other elements, I thought the wizard or warrior needed to hit the target the same way I use the wind element or how Raziel uses his shadow element.
I cross the fog for a few meters to find myself in a smooth stone courtyard surrounded by snow on all sides, the solid stone floor except for the rest and formed by the white mist. I'm surprised because I've been waiting for my test for a few minutes I even thought I was unlucky enough to get a test on patience, but when a dark shadow appeared inside the fog when I went to draw my blades only to realize that I'm unarmed.
I'm really screwed this time.
