In the Eno arena, hundreds of students were gathered and sat where they see fit. It's not only the first year students that were in the arena, the second and third year students were also present. While the test is for the 1st years, the 2nd and 3rd can come to watch as their own practical test is different and would take place at another time, usually after the 1st years.
In the practical test that would take place, an hologram beast, powered by mana from a mana stone which is at the chest of the hologram, would be the opponent of a selected individual to fight.
It would be a pass if the selected person last 20 minutes or destroys the mana stone that powers the the hologram, and fails if otherwise. Before the selected person enters the stage, his magical aptitude would be checked by placing his hand on a magical orb to determine the type of beast he would face.
Three examiners, all wearing the blue tower uniform, sat at the front row, where they would judge the participants. Among them is Bradford Nicolson, who sat at the middle of the three examiners. By his right sat Pandavatton de Regalis, by his left, Sara Baryan.
To know who the selected individual is, there is a large screen which would show whose turn it is to take the test. On the screen, 'Alaster kursius' was shown. He is a kobold, he went down to the arena confidently, placed his hands on a large magical orb. Then a 'Beastoleptoceras' hologram appeared opposite of him.
The beast is a 3 meter long animal, it belongs to a group of animals called 'Beastodontids', which are usually characterized by having five teeth protruding out of their jaws, three fingers, long arms short legs and 4 toes. This 'beastodontid' in particular has 6 long crest like protudment on its either side of its head.
Animals in the heaters are classified into 4 types depending on their size and capabilities. The first are the 'Mystical Beast', they are known for having special abilities. Dragons and pegacorns are some examples.
The second type are known as the 'Mega Fauna's'. They are animals of colossal size and strength. While they do not have any special abilities, their great sizes and strength rivals those classified under the Mystical Beast. Triospinosaurus,Triognathobuccus Triochasmos and Triogigantostegos fall under this group.
The third type are known as the 'Great Normals'. These group of beast are named so because they are the most plentiful of all the types of beasts. they are the kinds of beast you'll find loitering around. They do not have any special abilities. And they are usually below 10 meters in height.
The fourth type are known as the 'Kaiju's'. They are artificially created beasts made by the Magical nation, Stickmen and Turfs. They are not classified under the Mystical beasts despite having special abilities because they were artificially created.
The beast which stood opposite of Alaster is classified under the Great Normals. Despite it classification, it is not to be underestimated, with the long sharp claws ending each fingers, it is enough to slice a person to three equal parts.
The beast, lunged towards Alaster aiming its claw at his face. He kept his cool and made a simple dance step. Blocks of earth with out of the ground hitting the beast by the neck, making it give a painful cry and steping back a bit.
The beast growled manically at him and slowly walking towards Alaster studying him. Alaster being unfazed by the beast behavior continued his dance steps. The beast lunged at him immediately seeing this, but this time the ground froze restricting the beasts movements.
The Beastoleptoceras seeing this knows this spells doom, it used all its strength to release itself, but Alaster was in front of it. He attempt to break the mana stone powering the hologram beast using a dagger made from ice, but the beast was a second fast, it released itself and blocked the dagger.
Alaster jumped back to prevent any injury from the beast. To the examiners, they were watching closely.
"The kobolds culture always fascinate me, how are they able to integrate dancing steps to magical spells, they don't chant spells but dance". Sara said.
"What's even more interesting is that he was able to still do their rhetoric dance, despite the beast lunging at him fiercely, i bet he's going to break that mana stone, he almost succeeded in the first attempt". Bradford said.
The beast having fully released itself, tried several times to claw down Alaster, but being a kobold, he is naturally swift and agile so he is able to meticulously evade the claws.
Alaster wasn't just evading the claws, he was also dancing in the process frustrating the beast even more as elemental attacks were sent on it. After dancing for few minutes and evading the claws and also sending offensive attack on the beast, he soon see an opening.
The opening was made when the Beastoleptoceras attempts to claw him down bringing it arm forward leaving the side of the beast open. Alaster didn't waste any second, he immediately stabbed the mana stone and slashed it into two.
The Beastoleptoceras fell and turned into a mist of particles, ending his test with good success.
Bradford sat nodding his head in satisfaction, the three examiners wrote their reports. The screen lit up again and another participant was called in. It went on that way till "Reinhardt de Samosa" was shown on the screen.
He stood up from his sit full of confidence, he placed his hands on the large magical orb like other students, a juvenile Trionyx was standing opposite of him. Trionyx are classified under the Mega Fauna type.
Even though the beast is a juvenile, its size and physical characteristics is no joke, with its long neck, small head, long tail and bipedal posture, this juvenile beast boast a 3 meter height and 7 meters length.
But that is not the scary thing about the beast, it claws in its forearms, specifically it first finger which was about 25 inches long can slice through flesh like butter. It long, slim, sturdy legs gives it enough power to pounce on an opponent giving fatal blow
Reinhardt stood unfazed with the opponent opposite of him. His opponent is just a juvenile.
" I'll destroy you and and make you disappear like you never existed" Reinhardt said.
The beast screeched then lept great meters towards Reinhardt. Reinhardt readied his scepter to start a battle of life.
