Elysia's ethereal dance within the room of arrows continued, her movements a seamless fusion of artistry and combat. The AI, designed to intensify the challenge, increased the speed and frequency of the projectiles. Yet, Elysia, seemingly attuned to the unseen rhythm of the arrows, defied their trajectory with a mesmerizing grace.

Conversations among the representatives mirrored the shared awe of the students. "Such finesse," murmured one, his eyes fixed on the mesmerizing display. Another, nodding approvingly, remarked, "A true prodigy in our midst, capable of turning a test into an art form."
Elysia's fellow students, who had witnessed the initial reluctance and skepticism towards her unorthodox approach, now found themselves captivated by the unfolding masterpiece. "Is she even real?" wondered a classmate, unable to fathom the seamless blend of elegance and precision that defined Elysia's evasion.
The military man, stationed outside the room, monitored the display through the surveillance feed. As the five-minute mark surpassed his own record, a mix of surprise and admiration flickered across his expression. "She's made this test her canvas," he observed, acknowledging the extraordinary nature of Elysia's feat.
Upon the completion of her dance with the arrows, Elysia stepped out of the room, a serene smile gracing her features. The air within the arena held the residual energy of her performance, an intangible testament to the convergence of skill and artistry.
The representatives, now contemplating the implications of Elysia's unique talents, engaged in hushed discussions. "We've witnessed something extraordinary today," commented one, the weight of the moment evident in his words.
The collective sentiment echoed an unspoken agreement—an acknowledgment that Elysia's prowess extended beyond the realm of conventional assessments.
As Elysia rejoined her fellow students, the atmosphere lingered with a newfound respect. Conversations sparked, fueled by shared awe and the shared realization that, in the midst of an academic evaluation, a singular individual had transcended the mundane, leaving an indelible mark on the canvas of the University Exams.
The room of representatives, now buzzing with the aftermath of Elysia's extraordinary performance, became a hub of animated discussions. The atmosphere crackled with a palpable energy as each representative grappled with the significance of the recording they had just witnessed.
One representative, his eyes still fixed on the playback, couldn't contain his excitement. "This is a game-changer. We have a talent here that defies conventional assessments. Imagine what she could achieve with proper guidance at our academy."
His counterpart from a rival academy, initially stoic, couldn't help but nod in reluctant agreement. "We need to secure her enrollment before others catch wind of this. Such a prodigious talent is a rarity."
Conversations between the representatives became a delicate dance of strategy and urgency. Plans were set in motion to communicate with their respective universities and present the recording as a testament to the unparalleled skills exhibited by Elysia during the Reaction Test.
In a flurry of messages and transmitted files, the evidence of Elysia's performance traversed digital pathways, reaching the high-ranking officials and mentors of the combat academies.
The reactions from the universities varied, but the common thread was an acknowledgment of the exceptional nature of what had transpired.
Within the academic circles, discussions unfolded in boardrooms and lecture halls. "This transcends the boundaries of a mere Reaction Test. We may have discovered a prodigy who could redefine the paradigm of combat arts," one sage professor mused, his contemplative gaze fixed on the recording.
As the news of Elysia's performance rippled through the academic grapevine, anticipation and curiosity permeated the corridors of each prestigious combat academy. "To harness such potential is a privilege. We must act swiftly to secure her enrollment," affirmed a martial arts master, his commitment echoing the sentiments of his colleagues.
Meanwhile, Elysia, oblivious to the behind-the-scenes negotiations, found herself surrounded by a curious mix of students. Whispers of her mesmerizing dance with the arrows had spread like wildfire, elevating her status within the student body.
One classmate, his eyes wide with admiration, approached Elysia. "That was incredible. I've never seen anything like it." Others chimed in with praises, creating a subtle yet distinct shift in the way Elysia was perceived among her peers.
In the midst of this evolving narrative, the fate of Elysia's academic journey hung in the balance—ensnared in the deliberations and decisions of the academies vying for the privilege of nurturing a prodigious talent that had transcended the confines of a simple university exam.
Drakon, fueled by determination and a desire to prove his mettle, stepped into the room where the AI-controlled arrows awaited him. As the first arrows shot forth, he swiftly activated his Dragonic Scales, a shimmering layer of protective armor enveloping him. The room resonated with the rhythmic hum of the arrows being deflected.
The representatives, eyes fixed on the live feed, acknowledged Drakon's resilience. "Impressive defense. He's using his Dragonic Scales effectively," noted one observer, signaling a subtle nod of approval.
However, as the relentless barrage of arrows intensified, Drakon found himself pushed to the limits of his abilities. Dodging, weaving, and occasionally deflecting the projectiles, he showcased a commendable display of agility and defense. The clock ticked, and with beads of sweat forming on his forehead, Drakon pushed himself further.
In the midst of the tense atmosphere, the AI's algorithms increased the complexity of the arrow trajectories, testing the limits of the examinee. Drakon's movements, while resilient, began to show signs of strain.
A hushed conversation emerged among the representatives, contemplating the significance of Drakon's performance. "He's holding his ground admirably, but compared to Elysia, there's a noticeable difference," whispered one representative to another, their eyes glued to the screen.
Drakon, aware of the pressure and expectations, gritted his teeth and continued to evade the arrows with a steadfast determination. The sense of competition that had lingered since the strength test fueled his resolve.
Outside the room, fellow students, having witnessed Elysia's unparalleled grace, now observed Drakon's struggle. Conversations buzzed with a mix of admiration and speculation. "He's doing well, but it's hard to match what Elysia pulled off." The consensus among the onlookers echoed the sentiment that Elysia's performance had set an extraordinary benchmark.
As the digital timer marked the culmination of Drakon's trial, a collective breath was released. Three minutes—an achievement that showcased his strength and agility, yet cast in the shadow of Elysia's seemingly effortless seven-minute ballet with the arrows.
The disappointment lingered in Drakon's eyes as he stepped out of the room, his Dragonic Scales retracting. The acknowledgment of being outshone by Elysia, a fact that resonated within him, was met with a silent resolve to continue honing his skills.
In the aftermath of Drakon's performance, the representatives, while appreciative of his capabilities, couldn't ignore the stark contrast with Elysia's elegance. The discussion among them unfolded as a careful analysis of strengths, potential, and the unique flair each candidate brought to the table.
"Well, he held his ground admirably, but there's a certain grace missing," commented one representative, the sentiment shared by others around the table. "Elysia's performance was exceptional—effortless, almost like an art form."
Drakon, aware of the scrutiny, maintained a composed demeanor, recognizing that the journey towards mastery held its share of highs and lows. As the representatives debated the merits of each candidate, a consensus emerged—the need for a balance between raw strength and finesse.
The representatives, tasked with the pivotal decision of selecting potential candidates, exchanged subtle glances. The comparison between Elysia and Drakon became a focal point in the post-exam discussions, each academy contemplating the unique strengths and qualities that each candidate brought to the table.
In the aftermath of the Reaction Test, the fate of both Elysia and Drakon rested in the hands of the discerning representatives, their decisions poised to shape the trajectories of two promising talents within the realm of combat academia.
