The people intending to join the Patrol Team climbed up.
A few moments later, the test began quickly. The name of the first fighter was called, it was a middle-aged man.
When the fight began against the 1-star knight, not even ten seconds had passed and he was already thrown off.
After an hour, almost 50 people had finished fighting, and about 20 had passed.
The 1-star Knight wasn't even scratched and could still fight with ease.
Most of the fights ended quickly.
Some lasted longer because they were mercenaries with combat experience.
They wanted to join the Patrol Team to quit being mercenaries and avoid dangerous work.
Being part of the Ironspire City Patrol Team was somewhat risky because their job was to guard the outskirts of the city, often against gangs.
But it wasn't as risky as being a mercenary, and their pay would be larger because they'd be part of the city force.
A few moments later, it was Elric's turn to fight.
He quickly felt nervous and his hands sweated.
He had no experience in fighting, and this was his first time doing it!
People chuckled when they saw Elric slowly climbing up, his hands visibly trembling.
Elric gradually calmed himself, closed his eyes, and quickly envisioned what would happen 15 years from now!
He recalled the events of his past life.
The demon onslaught, the countless lifeless bodies around, and the once clear water turned red because of blood.
Comparing what Elric had seen and the fear he felt then to this current test, this was not even worth mentioning.
Elric calmed down and immediately took up his weapon.
He knew nothing about combat, but he had been cutting down large trees in the village for 15 years.
He knew the proper stance to unleash all his strength in his hands, and he would use his experience to pass this.
As soon as the fight began, Elric charged at the 1-star Knight, but the Knight saw all his movements and quickly blocked Elric's attack.
But when Elric's attack landed, the Knight's eyes widened at its strength.
This was the strength of a person who had spent 15 years cutting down large trees!
The 1-star Knight was pushed back, and because of this, Elric quickly followed up with another attack since the Knight was now out of stance.
Elric's attacks were swift and extremely powerful, which made the Knight smile; he had encountered another person with strength talent.
Several minutes passed.
The Knight felt his hand numb, so he released his true strength—his mana!
When Elric attacked again, he was surprised when his weapon was quickly broken by the Knight's glowing sword.
Next, he felt a kick to his body, sending him flying.
The 1-star Knight smiled and looked at Elric, who had been thrown outside and lost consciousness.
"This kid is interesting," The knight said.
"Passed!" he shouted immediately.
