Chapter 3 - The test - part 1

Gil, and all the others started to look at the weapons what appeared on replace of the benches. Whilst looking at a short sword Gil over heard some talk.

"Its that Leon, the one with the power of void one of the strongest hunters" was all he could hear before the group moved off.

"Now, you have all had a look at the weapons, now please pick the one most suited for your power. If you need more, please come ask." Leon added this after a few of the students started grabbing the same weapons. Gil spent time looking at the available weapons as the closes he used was a metal pole.

He finally picked a short sword with a double edged blade. Once all the students where happy with there picked weapons, Leon waved his hand and the remaining weapons vanished into nothing.

"Now, you will attack me and use your abilities to the best you can. Now please form a semi circle around me" as the students did this Lean picked one end and started here.

As the boy slowly walked forward and took a battle stance and then charged towards, Leon. He brought down the huge hammer he was using and it suddenly seemed to speed up. Gil then decided to activate mana detection to try and work out what happened. Gil noticed a trail if silver sparkles slowly diapering. As Gil was looking at the trail Leon stuck his hand out and blocked the hammer.

"Interesting, telekinetic powers used to increase the speed of the swing by pushing down the hammer." Leon said to the surprise of the boy.

"....um.. Yeah exactly that" the boy said surprised, this was the move he spend a long time working on and it was stopped so easily and seen through.

"Alright, next!" Leon said facing the next person in the semi circle.

The same thing happened, student went up made an attack then went back after Leon stopped it and stated what the attack was. There where some students that Leon didn't call powers out for and asked them to move to the other side of the semi circle.

Through this time Gil was waiting how the others where activating there powers and was trying to do the same. He focussed on the more abundant mana he could see, earth mana from the last student when a screen popped up.

[Intelligence not high enough]

Just when the screen despaired the girl called Natasha walked up to Leon ready for her go. The last time Gil saw her he want paying attention to what she looked like but this time he did. She was the same Hight as Gil was before the system, she was around 5 Foot 4 inches. She was dressed in what Gil thought as training equipment, basic black top and bottoms with speckles of what Gil thought where snow flakes. She had Silver hair

She like some of the other students brought there own weapons with them. Hers seemed to be a fighting pole. As she started walking towards Leon she twirled the ole going faster and faster as she was about 10 meters from Leon the edges of the pole seemed to start to freeze. Blades of ice started to shoot towards Leon.

"Impressive, combining defence and offence. Obviously Power of ice." Leon "As a reward for impressing me, ill show you something"

After Leon said this he waved his hand leaving a trail of darkness almost like a rip in realty Gil though. As Natasha stopped spinning the pole she she was using in anticipation of Leon's attack they all saw Leon point to the sky above Natasha where a rip in the sky opened like before. From there the same ice attaches Natasha had just fired if came flying out.

Natasha didn't miss anything and jumped back swinging her pole upwards firing more to block the ones flying down. As everyone was watching the two ice attacks clash Gil saw a change in teh mana in the air and looked back down. He noticed that in the few moments when everyone was staring Leon had somehow got behind Natasha. Gil couldn't be sure but he thought he saw a few dark bits of mana left where Leon was.

When everyone else realised what had happened Leon already had a dagger by Natasha's back.

"Well done, good use of powers and good control" Leon said with a smile on his face, waving his arm indicating for her to go back.
