After all the sets of matches of the day, 52 contenders remained.
One of them is currently in a hotel room with 2 guys - Kai and Nathan, analyzing all the opponents she would have to beat to get a spot on the physical examination.
"Here's all the ones I'm sure you have no chance to beat with your current strength," Kai said then gave her a list of people with all the information about their familiar he could reveal to them without them being suspicious of him having any kind of otherworldly ability.
When Angela saw the list, her expression became downcast. However before she became even more depressed, Nathan said "Me and Kai decided to pool our pocket money with yours, so you can finally buy a Bronze rank Wind attributed treasure".
When Angela heard that, she was so touched. She knows how much they needed their own money for the things they want and needed, especially for Kai who was earning money to buy a Bronze rank Space attributed treasure, which is more than twice more expensive when compared to other more common attributed treasures.
However, even though she knows that her friends needed their own money for their own personal things too, she is desperate on getting into Diamond Academy to study on the same school as them. Also, she knows herself that as long as she could get in the Academy, she could payback her friends twice over what they will give to her now.
"Thank you, I don't know what I would have done without you guys supporting me." - Angela
"What are friends for? We will always be here with each other through tough times right? We can earn money more easily once we get in the school, so don't think about this small favor from us." - Kai
"Yeah! We know that you are the kind of person that wanted to pay her debts no matter what, you know that if we manage to get in we can earn this amount of money again given time, so all we ask from you is do your best to enter the Diamond Academy with us." - Nathan
After a few more minutes of them just chatting, they decided to go to the marketplace and finally buy the Bronze rank Wind attributed treasure Angela needed. Buying the treasure isn't really hard, because Wind is one of the most common attribute in the world, so after an hour of walking around they found and bought a Bronze ranked Wind Falcon Essence Feather.
They then hurriedly got back to their hotel, excited about what is about to happen. They then cleared their hotel and put aside all of the furniture, leaving a wide space in the middle.
"Hurry up Angela! We want to see what happens while the breakthrough is happening," Kai said while his eyes is shining, it's his first time seeing a beast breakthrough to Bronze, so he is very excited.
"Why do you guys seem more excited than me? I am the one having a breakthrough here you know." - Angela
"Will you please start already? I'm getting impatient here." - Nathan
"Okay.. okay I'll start, no need to be so grumpy about it," Angela said while still teasing her two friends. She then made Skye settle down in the middle of the room, while she sat in a meditative position in front of her familiar. After a few seconds of waiting, the lights in the hotel suddenly became a bit brighter, while sounds became a bit more serene.
"Ooh, it's finally starting!" - Nathan
"I thought it would be more dramatic than this, I'm a bit disappointed." - Kai
"It's because it's just starting, give it a minute more and the lights will literally blind you, fortunately her Sound attribute is very tame, if it isn't we would have trouble hearing by now." - Nathan
"Is that so? So that's why you made me wear this stupid sunglasses." - Kai
"I thought you loved reading so much? You should at least know what to expect." - Nathan
"Reading about it and experiencing it is two different things, okay? You already experienced is so you know what to do, while I only base my knowledge from recorded texts." - Kai
Kai and Nathan just chatted quietly while waiting for something to happen. A few minutes after, just like what Nathan said, the lights in the room became a bit more blinding, and a little hot, the Sound on the room on the other hand, is still soothing but a bit louder. The breakthrough to Bronze can be said to be the very safe for viewing according to all the beast tamers that had done it in the past, so Kai and Nathan didn't worry that the lights in the room would become so strong that it will hurt or injure them.
After a few more minutes of waiting, when the light and the sound in the room finally stopped getting stronger, Angela finally took out the Wind Falcon Essence Feather in her hand and put it next to Skye. The moment it is put next to Skye, small gusts of wind suddenly appeared in the closed room, then after a few more minutes, the wind became faster and a bit stronger and formed a small tornado in the room, making all the small trinkets in the room float in the air.
"No, my books!" Kai shouted while whispering, when he saw some of his thinner books be flown by the small tornado.
"Oh shut up, you already finished reading that, what are you being so emotional about." - Nathan
"I paid for it with my own money, how can I not be a bit sad about losing it?" - Kai
"All you look at is your books, there is also many things I own that was flown up by the tornado, did you see me complain about it?" Nathan said, prompting Kai to finally notice some expensive stuff floating around in the tornado.
"I hope this tornado wouldn't get stronger, I don't wanna clean up all the mess that your books will make once they are torn up to pieces." - Nathan
"You should have known this would happen, why did you not warn me? I could have put away my books, argh you are the worst." - Kai
"Wahaha! I wanna see you cry." - Nathan
"You think this would make me cry? Never." - Kai
After a few more minutes of bickering, the wind finally reached its strongest state and some of the books of Kai was torn to pieces, almost making him cry.
The moment the wind reached its strongest state, all three strengthened attributes in the room was then slowly weakened, and after a minute all the commotion in the room ceased.
Before Angela opened her eyes, Kai looked at the current status of Skye.
