Chapter 16 Ch 16 : A Boss
Inside the examiner's room, Isabel and Elizabeth looked at the monitors with lots of focus.
" It seems that in the regular batch, there was no one worthy of our attention…"
Elizabeth sighed. The moment she saw the performance of those guys in the regular batch, she knew that they would only be cannon-fodder in actual battle.
" Yes.. but luckily, the special batch was a lot better. It seemed that it wasn't a waste for us to come here, Ms. Elizabeth!" The angel Isabel tried to stay positive.
As usual, Elizabeth was very stern with her judgment, while Isabel was trying to brighten the mood a little bit.
They were in dire need of talents, and they could only hope that they would get some rough diamonds to be polished here.
Listening to Isabel's positivity, even the stern Elizabeth couldn't help but get affected.
Her eyes shifted to the monitor where Cade and Luna were displayed.
" Indeed, these two seemed to be not bad. Luna Forewater is one thing. But this Cade, even though he seemed to at least satisfy the standard of entering our university, I couldn't see why you are so interested in him…."
" Hehe, I also don't really get it. But my Arcane Card just told me that there is something special in that kid."
" ….. "
Looking at the harmless smiling Isabel, Elizabeth really didn't know what to do.
At the end of the day, she could only shake her head helplessly as she proceeded to watch the test with Isabel, hoping to see what made this Cade be so special in Isabel's eyes.
Back to Cade and Luna, currently, Cade and Luna are doing a pretty okay job regarding the test.
Luna was having a good time, charging through the Monsters, slashing each and every monster in front of her.
As for Cade, he was stuck in a weirder position than Luna.
He was a summoner, so he must keep his distance far enough to avoid the enemy attack while also close enough to not give a delayed command to Spectre Ghost and also manage the battlefield.
Time passed, and the difficulties in the test also changed. At first, it was just some simple Goblins, but then it changed into something akin to a wold monster and now some Orcs.
As of now, there was only one remaining Orc left, and Cade and Luna were trying their best to kill it as quickly as possible.
The Orc was strong, but the enemy was far too nimble for him.
When Luna's sword hit the Orc right at the neck, the last Orc was finally decapitated.
Because it was just a virtual monster, the decapitated Orc didn't turn into a puddle of blood but just disappeared after it was killed.
" Ha… that was intense…"
" Speak to yourself. You are charging at them relentlessly…"
" Haha…."
Cade spoke his mind as if trying to reprimand Luna, but Luna just laughed it off like nothing happened.
The last Orc has been killed, and the two thought they could finally get some rest. However, soon they realized they were wrong.
The moment the last Orc disappeared, the sun rose high in the azure sky, and a clear mechanical sound finally resounded in the room.
[ All waves have been cleared, proceeding to move to the last battle. Boss battle!]
When they heard the mechanical voice, the two suddenly felt a chill.
It was so sudden, but they immediately realized that the thing that they would face right now was far from what they had faced before.
Cade's gaze moved to the places where the feeling of chill erupted, causing him to look over.
He saw that now standing in front of them was a group of five monsters that looked pretty much like humans but have a strange color tone and menacing fangs.
' A Goblin lord..'
Cade thought in his mind as he quickly recognized the name of this monster, and from the look of it, Luna was also able to reach the same conclusion.
Behind the Goblin Lord was a group of four Hobgoblin whose strengths were clearly not weak. With the exception of the Goblin Lord, whose strength should be at peak rank (III), the other four should be at the beginning of rank (III).
"ROARRR!!!."
The Goblin Lord's hand shook slightly, and a long, bloodred spear appeared. As he held this long spear, he began to issue instructions to the four Hobgoblins.
Upon hearing their lord's order, the four Hobgoblin behind him immediately began spreading out, going to corner the two that were left on this battlefield.
"Ms. Forewater, Spectre prepare for collision." Cade tilted his head, frowned, and shouted upon seeing that the four Hobgoblins had spread out like a fan as they headed over.
"No need to remind me, I know." Luna said, but she still nodded slightly. She was truly mesmerizing as the holy white aura from her Arcane card shrouded her body.
At this moment in the examiner's room, the sharp shouting and cheering from the examiners filled the room. They could not wait to see whether the rumored prodigy would be able to defeat the Goblin Lord.
" Ms. Elizabeth, do you think they will be able to pass this hurdle?"
Isabel tilted her head to the side, looking a bit worried.
" I don't know. That Luna Forewater had the firepower to deal with the Goblins if it was just based on strength alone. But the current her was a bit too reckless. Maybe you are right. The key of defeating the boss would lie in the hand of that Cade North."
Elizabeth smiled as she spoke and threw her gaze back to the chaotic battle.
There would be frequent head-on battles between humanity and monster, and all they needed was a combat force that was not only strong but also able to comprehend the situation.
Maybe because she had grown as a sheltered flower, as of now Luna Forewater still didn't possessed the second criteria that they needed, so Elizabeth was also curious about the performance of the two in this final test.
