V3-C28: Magical Exam [2] It took more than an hour for the number to reach Sheira’s, yet nobody complained. Despite having a hundred people in front of them, they finished rather swiftly. Only a mere dozen had passed the magical exam, which was a relief for someone as inpatient as Sheira, yet sad that their future leaders were pathetic. Not like I was any better until Aqua taught me. She stepped forward and placed her hand on the crystal. Aurora feigned a professional indifference, yet the way her brow was slightly raised told her that she was rather curious about her sister’s capabilities. Time for me to show off to my naughty elder sis. The vision darkened, and she plunged into her mind. The aether ripped, and the mana flowed. There is so much. She felt her body tremble, the crystal turned from a cascade of colors to red, then into pure white. The entirety of the academy was saturated with more mana than ever. Shit. Sheira pushed back against the ripped aether. I can’t control this much energy. However, she was not one to surrender, instead, she focused fully, despite it making her sweat. The air around her crackled with electricity. It grew heavier, forcing weaklings around her to kneel. Even Aurora and Avaros found it difficult to remain standing. Soon, they both were forced to kneel, leaving only Azure and Aqua standing. Aqua sighed. Your new level is far too much for you at the current time. She raised her hand toward Sheira, and the mana that threatened to crush the academy disappeared. However, the sheer weight had crushed the targets, leaving nothing behind. The flickering lights were extinguished, and the stone constructs of Aurora were reduced to atoms. The mana around Sheira stabilized, and she created a ball of fire before her. “Sheira, pass. Stop whatever you want to do!” Aurora shouted, forcing Sheira to snap out of her. “What? I was just about to fire my spell.” “Look around you.” She gasped for air, her hands trembling, but she managed to raise her finger toward the collapsed students. “Oh…” Sheira blinked. “Yes, Oh. You passed, congratulations.” “I didn’t even get to fire off a spell…” She sulked, but walked toward Aqua without a complaint. “Sheira, I told you to be careful. Your new level of power is much higher.” Her growth is far too swift. She stared at Sheira. There was one explanation. “It’s a shard of time.” “You are scaring me.” She cowered. “I will explain later, but you are unnaturally fast. That shard of time is doing something to you. I will examine you later.” She smiled. “S…Sure.” Sheira’s ears slumped. “I won’t die, right?” “No.” A sigh of relief escaped her lips. “Thank goodness.” She turned to Azure. “Alright, Azu. Your turn.” “You got over that quickly.” “Eh, I trust Aqua that I will be fine, so there is no point in worrying. I hoped to show off the spells I have been practicing so hard, but whatever. There will be more opportunities.” “Sure.” Azure smiled. She then approached the crystal, which now had a large crack. “Lady Hallowshield, please go ahead.” Most of the audience recovered, but they now stared at Sheira with both fear and reverence. Azure closed her eyes, her raw power was much lower than Sheira's. However, when it came to control, she had her beat. Some guard I am, being weaker than my VIP. Her hand landed on the crystal, and the crack grew wider, the cascade of colors shone through the crack, giving off a blinding radiance. The light subsided as Azure raised her arm and her eyes focused on the newly constructed targets. Seven spikes of earth appeared above her. However, she would not allow herself to not show off a little, the earth spun around itself, drilling the air, and the shadows gained a form. They twisted around the spikes and connected the threads to her shadow. [Binding of the Crescent Moon], A soft word of power turned the shadowy tendrils into silver. The earth glowed silver, and Azure clenched her fist. The spikes struck the large targets and shattered them easily
