Trying to maintain my balance on the shaking ground was quite difficult in my current situation.
An ice base floated a few centimeters above the unstable ground. When I stepped onto the Ice Plank, I could stand firmly, but creating a second ice plank proved challenging. As a result, I could only bombard the Titan Ogre with magic before using Leap and activating the Air Leap Combo.
I unleashed the spells toward the Titan Ogre, but none had any effect.
The monster was already close and attempted to grab me with its massive hands.
I jumped into the air to evade its attack, but as it observed that its prey could leap high, strange black ropes emerged from the two horns on its shoulders.
The ropes lunged at me blindly, thinking I wouldn't be able to avoid their grasp while airborne.
"Time to dance!"
I propelled myself in the air, landing on the back of the monster's neck. I swung my sword down, aiming for a critical strike, but my blade was deflected by its tough skin.
"As expected, with this level of Aura, I won't be able to kill it."
Being someone who can do anything is certainly advantageous, but on the other hand, being someone who can do everything will never allow one to reach the pinnacle of strength. From the start, I felt that limitation within myself, and that limitation made me feel useless against the formidable enemy before me.
The monster swung its elbow at me, but I activated my second Air Leap just in time.
I jumped behind the monster once more, attempting to strike its neck again, but its skin remained resilient.
'I have to use a dagger technique to penetrate the thickness of this skin.'
With perfect timing, I executed my third Air Leap, directing my jump toward where the daggers were stored.
Taking two daggers while airborne was quite a challenge, but if I landed now, the Air Leap combo count would reset, leaving me with no second chances due to the timing required to use it again.
I shot a Stone Bullet at the table holding the daggers, causing the two blades to fly into the air. Seizing the perfect opportunity, I threw the swords toward the monster, embedding explosion magic within them so that when the tips made contact with the monster's body, they would trigger a powerful explosion.
As the two swords struck the monster, the resulting explosion only left a multitude of scratches on its massive frame.
The fourth jump was executed perfectly, as I soared through the thin air before touching the ground. Thanks to this flawless jump, my distance was significantly increased.
"This monster is indeed riddled with wounds, but it doesn't bleed at all."
Gripping the dagger tightly, I maximized the Aura I had infused into it and activated
I drove the dagger into one of the Titan Ogre's existing wounds, releasing all the Aura I had to create a deep stab wound in its body.
Seeing the fresh wound on the Titan Ogre, I pressed my attack using the dual daggers in both hands, not forgetting to continue with the Air Leap combo.
I switched from the right side to the left to avoid the Titan Ogre's attacks. I searched for a light wound on its left side, but unfortunately, there were no usable openings for my dagger technique. However, I knew I could create a wound using fourth-level magic and then follow up with my technique.
I chose to use Flame Spear to take advantage of the boost effect that occurs upon casting. This boost could help me create some distance from the Ogre and activate the Final Air Leap.
Soaring higher into the air, I threw the two daggers at the Ogre and spun three times mid-air before executing an Axe Kick, combining it with the final blow of the 7 Air Leap Combo.
With a grounded stance, I initiated the Final Blow from the 7 Air Leap, which made my body feel significantly heavier. This skill is typically employed against enemies with tough exteriors, but this time, I aimed to obliterate the Ogre's massive frame with it.
*Kabooom!!
A powerful explosion erupted, and the Ogre's body collapsed, its head crushed under the force.
[Congratulations, you have successfully completed all the tests. You may leave the test room now.]

After seeing the final results, I stepped out of the Test Room. As I emerged, everyone in the test area stood up and erupted in applause, their excitement palpable.
"You see that? His overall score is S+, and it's from a test with a difficulty level of 10!"
"From the very beginning, Fajar from the Hartono family has been hailed as a modern miracle. Even as an academy student, he managed to survive and hunt down the 7 Great Hobgoblins!"
"Not only did he hunt them, but he also protected his comrades. Although Grand Sage Surya stated that he still had room for improvement in his decision-making, he has already earned recognition from him."
Everyone chatted about me with enthusiasm, and amidst their discussions, I caught snippets of strange rumors. However, a familiar voice, previously unheard, suddenly broke through the chatter.
'Perfect score, huh? With a flawed Talent Core like that, you still manage to achieve a perfect score. I can only imagine what will happen in the future if your Talent Core awakens fully.'
'You always claim you don't need excessive power, but do you really think your current strength isn't excessive? Remember, son, you are part of us... no, you are the Shadow of Himself. Do you truly not desire the power we offer?'
'Of course, we will reward you for your outstanding achievement this time. When you get home, check the gift box under the bed. You'll discover the present we've prepared for you—something that will at least help you grow faster.'
"You know I won't be home for another week. From now on, I'll focus on climbing the Tower to fulfill your task. You yourself assigned me this tedious task, yet you've already forgotten about it."
'Is that so? If so, that would be better. Now, close your hands tightly.'
I complied, closing my hands as instructed. To my surprise, I felt something materialize in the center of my grip.
'Check it. That's your reward.'
After delivering his message, the voice vanished once again.
