The first student to strike the boulder presented himself as an example of what not to do, to the other children.
"Next!" elder Joules called.
A boy walked forward and presented his weapon against the boulder. He took in sharp breaths of air. He was obviously nervous, but nevertheless, he channeled his energy into his sword and striked hard.
The sword went through, but it only went about five inches in.
"Good!" Elder Joules congratulated him, "Even though you have C-Grade Dantain, You still Managed to balance your Spirit energy with your sword and cause some damage to the Boulder.
Hearing her praise, the Student was excited and came down the podium.
"Next!!!" She called out again, and another student took the stand. This time around, his sword went a full ten inches deep. This one was also C-grade.
"Next!"
This time around, it was a B-grade student. Surprisingly, he did worse than the C-Grade student.
