《Winter Sovereign》Chapter 48: Test of Skill
Advertisement
Lilia and her team enter the Hall of Skill to take the test.
Upon entering, they spot an old woman with a velvet robe.
She walks towards them.
"Oh dear, you came to take the test?"
Lilia stepped forward.
"Yes. Are you the proctor?"
She asked.
"Yes... It seems my disciple, Lesc, was the one who tested you earlier?"
"Lesc? Ah, the young man in green robes."
Luisa remarked.
"Yes. That's him. Well then... Will you listen to the rules first?"
"Yes."
Lilia immediately agreed.
"Very well... The trial of skill vary from person to person. There are only three tries for each person to take it. If one person fails after three tries, all of you fail."
It was harsh yet simple rules.
"We understand."
However, every participant took ardurious training to prepare for this tournament. All of them are all well prepared and are the best of the best among their generation in the world.
Luisa, Aies, Seileen and Lilia went through vigorous training and were well prepared.
The only question is Serra.
To this, they did feel some doubt.
How well would someone who joined in on the spur of the moment do?
"Very well. Each member would be tested individually."
The old woman pointed behind her.
"Before we start, I'll introduce myself. I'm different from my disciple who didn't even give you his name. I am Relin. Now, behind me are five doors. In order, the first door is for support, the second and third door is for the rearguards, the fourth is for the vanguard while the last is for the captain."
She finished.
All five of them faced each other and gave a determined nod.
This second trial is notorious for seeing the highest amount of failed groups.

However, they won't fail.
They each head off to their respective trial and entered.
"Hm... I believe that these five will succeed."
Relin spoke.
In her time, she saw many groups.
Thus, she's confident in her eyes in determing who will pass and who will fail. And in her opinion, those four will succeed.
Indeed, four.
She couldn't see through that young man who was their support.
One way to tell would be to look in their eyes.
She gazed in their eyes closely.
She also gazed at that young man closely but failed to tell anything...
"Could that one be a senior who came to join in on the tournament for fun?"
She muttered to herself.

Julie, raised in a small farming village on her quest to become someone people will sing about. Part Two Wendel, a recent graduate of the University, an intense school that functions first as a police force to control the use of magic and secondly as an educational institution. Demetrius, a servant at the school who loses his home and his safety. Edits are ongoing. Reviews and comments will only help the editing the process, and I am grateful for any and all input. So, if you have been reading already, Jericho has been removed. It's been brought to my attention that his chapters detract from the flow of the narrative. They still exist, and are still going to be made available at some point in some way shape or form, but for the time being what happens with him and the king in Puissant city will be off camera so to speak.
