[+1 Strength]
Lumiel went to the Conjurer Halls again. But this time, he would like to apply for the Elite rank Conjurer.
He went to proceed towards the entrance of the Halls and went to the desk inquiry. He gathered his courage to ask again. This time, he was worried that he would get rejected as his climbing in ranks was too fast!
But as he saw the desk receptionist, he finally took the courage and went full blast without shame or cowering.
"Hello, I wanna apply for the Conjurer elite rank, please?" Lumiel asks shyly. His hands were praying as he bowed his head a bit.
The receptionist was surprised as well as taken aback. She just waved her hands after telling him to not be too formal.
"Okay, okay sure, but can you survive? Not all are expected to pass but let's try your luck," she said to him.
"Thanks!" Lumiel was happy that he was given a chance.
"By the way I am Burth! Sorry for the late introductions," he said.
"I am Lumiel, Lumiel Cryhearth!" he shouted.
Proceeding to the testing area. He saw a buff man with a long mustache that extended to his chest. He has juggernaut armor already conjured and several hovering swords on his back.
Lumiel's curiosity was taken by the spell the tester had. It was majestic and Lumiel wanted it.
"Hello dear sir, I will take the Elite rank test," Lumiel said confidently this time.
"Hmm? Are you sure? You need to eat more sacks of rice!" he watched Lumiel from top to bottom, "But anyways, let's test you first. I am indeed merciful and will let you have a chance. I have a feeling you might pass,"
They went to the testing grounds in the training fields and then went to their stance.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
"Yes!"
Lumiel then went ready. He conjured a staff and spinning swords. The enemy was also ready with his stance.
Lumiel dashed and used a dagger burst. The daggers burst and went towards Burth but Burth was grinning. He expected it to happen and was confident.
The sentient swords swatted the daggers and they were all repelled. Lumiel immediately used spawn phantom and he had clones that were summoned.
He immediately used double time to have a faster speed.
The enemy conjured a sentient shield and blocked all attacks. Lumiel smashed his staff and the shields blocked them. The enemy then used rain swords which Lumiel was taken aback.
He stepped back and used staff rotation to stop the swords from skewering him. It sounded with each sword hitting his staff.
Ting ting ting!
He used a staff smash and the shields nearly broke. It was like a perfect offense and defense. The shields were shielding perfectly and swords were attacking effortlessly.
"Hahahah! Now you see why it was hard to pass my test!" Burth shouted.
"Yes, I know. But more of me will come!" Lumiel shouted.
Conjure apparition and Multiply were used. He immediately outnumbered the tester.
"Double time!"
Lumiel immediately used the skill. With it, he battered the swords and shields of the examiner and then finally landed several blows on him.
Bam pak bing!
"You! I am not finished yet!" He immediately used echo stun and he stunned the apparition of Lumiel.
Pak Bing!
Two hits landed. But it all went to smoke and Lumiel summoned more clones of him.
Haaaa!!!
He roared as he dashed. Rotating his staff, he smashed the defenses and repelled the swords. The fight was chaotic and his clones nearly were extinguished. Only a few remained. He was left panting as he had almost run out of stamina.
But, the enemy was battered and his armor was dented with all those attacks from Lumiel.
"Congrats child, you passed. Damn, it hurts." he massaged his temples.
"Thanks, haha," Lumiel was still panting.
"I will give you the two skill pages I have>as a reward for defeating me: [Sentient sword] and [Sentient shield]" he immediately went to drink a health potion.
"Kid, you are now officially an Elite," Burth added.
"Thanks!" Lumiel replied with an exhausted tone.
Lumiel immediately received the skill pages and saw the skills.
