The next day, at the Lumina Crysalis Guild testing center:
“Good luck on your test,” Maximus said before the grade 1 test started.
“Don’t worry, Dad. This is nothing,” Luke comforted.
“I hope they’re ready for our new combined technique,” Sam bragged, patting Neo.
“What about me? Don’t bother me with your crazy styles…” Neo said tiredly.
His brothers, Sam and Luke, had been developing some crazy styles that made his heart tired.
“Just be careful,” Maximus patted Serene and Cyra.
…
A while later, the test began.
[Death Race:
Mission: Reach the end of the track before the time limit
Preparation Time: 3 hours
Time: 30 minutes]
“Oh, it’s a racing game!” Sam exclaimed while reading about the test.
“This is fun,” Luke added, looking at all kinds of materials laid on the floor.
Running alone wouldn’t be enough to reach the end of the track.
They needed to create something, whether it’s an alchemy device or a mechanical one.
“What should we create? I like wings!” Serene said.
“I prefer a cloud nimbus!” Cyra countered.
“But wings are more beautiful.”
“Then you make your own; I like mine,” Cyra said, turning her back.
“Fine, I will prove that wings are more beautiful…”
They completely forgot that it was a free-for-all race with the sole goal of reaching the finish line before time ran out.
“Brother, let’s see who can create a more powerful machine!” Sam challenged Luke.
“Heh, then let me show you why they call me Mr. Machinist!” Luke bragged.
“Isn’t that what you just called yourself?” Sam rolled his eyes.
“Whatever,” Luke said as he started to work.
Neo, who was still sleepy, looked around, thinking of what to create.
“This is too troublesome…”
Neo’s brain began to scan and process all kinds of materials lying around. 𝚘𝑣𝐞xt.𝑐𝓞𝗆
After a few minutes, his brain started to hurt.
This was an ability acquired by Neo.
It seemed that as long as he liked, he could overdrive his brain to process all kinds of information quickly and efficiently.
“I got it,” Neo muttered and lazily started to work.
….
Three hours later,
[Death Race…
1…2..3… Start!]
“Let’s go!”
The brothers and sisters got on their created vehicle and started to race.
“Hahaha, this is fun!” Sam laughed loudly as he accelerated without care.
“Watch out!” Luke warned as he fired an anti-interference strike.
“Damn, so hateful. Why can’t we just race?” Sam muttered as he was almost struck just now.
“Sisters, you should come behind us!” Luke said to Serene and Cyra.
As for Neo, he was still leisurely, as if not seeing the attack.
…
As minutes passed, various attacks came from different directions.
The people at the back didn’t even bother to aim and just fired at whoever was in front.
This resulted in various damage to their vehicles.
Even their sisters on the back almost got hit.
“Sam, it’s time…”
Soon, the two machines combined, encapsulating both of them.
“Sisters, come inside!” Sam urged.
“Alright,” Serene and Cyra didn’t waste time, quickly getting inside the combined vehicle.
“Neo, what are you doing? It’s time!”
“Don’t tell me you didn’t add this module?”
“Fine… just wait,” Neo replied lazily.
Neo’s vehicle combined and formed like a backpack turbo for the machine.
“Hehe, the fun begins….”
Luke and Sam looked at each other and pressed the red button.
“Fire behind!!!”
The combined vehicles spouted out a blazing fire.
It disintegrated all that was behind them and boosted the vehicle to a new speed.
[Passed The Test!]
…
Grade 2 Test:
[Tag Team:
Win 10 consecutive times
Time Limit: 1 hour]
“It looks like it’s a two-person team,” Lily muttered.
“Let’s team up, big sister!” Lyla said.
“Alright.”
“Max, let’s team up…” Nathan asked.
“Uh-”
“He’s mine today!” Ella grabbed Max’s shoulder before he could respond.
“It looks like it’s just the two of us, brother Liam,” Nathan turned to Liam.
“This-”
“Liam, what are you dawdling about? We don’t have all day,” Amara nagged.
“Brother, good luck!” Liam patted his shoulder and got out.
-_-
“Brother, there’s still me~” Lydia grabbed Nathan’s hand, just like a life-saving straw.
“Little sister…”
“You don’t like little sister, brother?”
“No, how can I hate my cute sister?” Nathan smiled.
“Hmmm, then let’s go!” Lydia dragged Nathan to look for an opponent.
…
Lily & Lyla Tag Team:
“Big sister, let’s fight those big-looking guys.”
“You’re into big guys, huh?”
“No, I just like the way it sounds when I hit them with a punch,” Lyla waved her little fist.
“Oh…”
The two walked toward their opponents, challenging them.
“Hey, dare to fight, big guys?” Lily invited.
“Huh? Two little missies?”
“Hahaha, the first victory is here.”
“Come, the stage is just here!”
The two mocked Lily and Lyla while showing off their muscles.
They didn’t know the notoriety of the two, so they dared to be presumptuous.
“Look, bro, they’re trembling!”
“You’d better surrender quickly, little missy, so as not to get hurt.”
The one who was trembling was Lyla, due to excitement.
[Fight Begins!]
Without saying a word, Lyla quickly dashed toward the nearing opponent and sent a punch.
*Thud!*
“Huh? So weak?” Lyla looked disappointed as the opponent was quickly sent flying.
“You’re next.” Although disappointed, she still fought excitedly.
As for Lily, she just watched from the sideline.
“Lyla, finish it quickly; we only have one hour,” Lily said, yawning out of boredom.
“You!” The remaining opponent looked indignant as he was being played by this little missy.
Or a little barbarian, should he say.
“Unfortunately, there is a time limit…”
“Anyway, bye-bye, little mister.”
*Thud!*
…
Nathan & Lydia Tag Team:
“Who should we fight, brother?”
“Whoever, anyway, it’s all the same.”
“Oh? Is it all the same? How about you fight us?”
“You? Sure,” Nathan looked bored as he led Lydia to the nearest stage.
“Hehe, arrogant kid!”
“Psh, maybe just some spoiled brat?”
The two laughed it off and followed them to the stage.
[Fight Begins!]
As soon as the fight started, Nathan disappeared out of thin air, leaving Lydia alone.
“Hey, it looks like your brother made you the bait!”
“No,”
“Free Spirit Vine Forest.”
The stage quickly transformed into a jungle made of vines, suitable for an assassin.
“It’s up to you, brother…” Lydia murmured.
In the shadows, Nathan looked at Lydia with satisfaction.
“As expected of my sister.”
*Slash*
“Hiss, close.”
“Be careful, it’s an assassin!”
*Slash*
“Huh,”
A blade gushing with power appeared.
*Slash*
A cut to the face.
*Slash*
A cut to the back.
It seemed like they were dancing on the edge of a blade.
As long as their minds wandered even a little, a wound would suddenly appear.
*Slash*
“Damn!”
Unfortunately for them, the stage was already set.
They were already trapped beasts, ready to be slaughtered.
*Slash*
A head fell to the ground.
“I don’t want it anymore, I give up!” the remaining opponent, clearly frightened, cried out.
[Fight Won!]
“Let’s go, sister…” Nathan dragged Lydia away, not even glancing at his terrified opponent.
…
Max & Ella Tag Team:
“What has gotten into you today? You’re so clingy!” Max complained, still remembering his embarrassment with Nathan.
He and Nathan had been inseparable since they were young.
It’s only lately that Ella has been pulling him everywhere, causing him to separate from his brother.
“What do you mean? you don’t like me?” Ella looked aggrieved.
“Uh, no?”
“Hehe, then that’s fine,” Ella immediately changed her expression faster than flipping a book.
“Well, well, look who’s here, it’s the witch~” As they were walking, Ella met her rival in love.
“What witch? It’s you! You always hog my Max!” A girl said, grabbing Max’s arm.
“Bertha, stop talking…” Max said.
This girl had recently become obsessed, always following him everywhere.
“Let go of my teammate, you witch!” Ella said, dragging Max back.
Looking at the two fighting, he sighed.
“Troublesome…”
“What about we fight? The winner gets to own Max?” Bertha said excitedly.
“No, Max is mine alone,” Ella quickly defended.
“But Max isn’t yours!”
“No, he is!”
“Then let’s fight! If you lose, you are not worthy of Max, and you should leave quickly!” Bertha provoked.
“Fine.”
Max and Bertha’s partner looked at each other with a sigh.
…
A little while later…
“How about now? As I said, Max is mine!” Ella said proudly, looking at the disgraced Bertha.
“Max, look, that little Amazonian bullied me~” Bertha looked at him pitifully.
“Don’t look at that witch anymore, let’s go!” Ella dragged Max out.
“I’m sorry,” Max apologized; he was no match for this little Amazonian either.
…
Liam & Amara Tag Team:
The two had already won 10 consecutive victories, so they were resting.
Liam’s strength and Amara’s timely assistance made their opponents lose in less than ten seconds.
“By the way, Amara, what do you plan to do in the future?”
“Huh? Why ask?”
“I don’t know, just asking.”
“Oh, I don’t know what I plan to do in the future…”
“I just want to stay with you, I guess?”
“That’s a good plan,” Liam thought.
“By the way, do you have any news about your brother?”
“No, there’s been no news since he left…” Amara said sadly.
“Don’t worry, there’s still me…” Liam put his hand on her shoulder.
“Really, will you be here with me all the time?” Amara looked expectantly.
“As long as you don’t push me away, I’ll always be here…”
