Chapter 6 - Stella, The Champion (2/2)

”Have you given up yet?” Stella asked sadistically and summoned her Panspermia weapon.

”No finish!” Oliver shouted from across the hall.

”Hmph! All right.”

'As expected from the Champion, she is adamant and fierce at the same time. Not to mention I've forbidden spells so as not to cause damage to the land, if it weren't for that, I think this would be over by now.'

The Archer and Atilath stood up, looked at each other, and without saying anything, they both understood what should be done. They joined forces to defeat the Champion.

The archer had no experience with a melee weapon, so he was intercepted easily by Stella. Then Atilath, who was already struggling to fight Wallace, had no chance at all against the grey-haired woman and was promptly thrown against one of the walls.

”Resist guys, I don't want to look that strong in front of my employer, otherwise he will throw a lot of work behind my back.” Stella teased the fallen participants on the floor.

”Fucking sadist... Pruft!” Atilath spat some blood in Stella's direction.

The foreign girl was the only one to get up because Wallace and the archer continued to lie on the ground. The two boys had already given up on the job opportunity.

Just as Stella was about to finish off Atilath, and Oliver was about to stop the test so the girls wouldn't go too far, a thought popped into the heads of everyone present: 'But where is the half-beast?'

Luke seemed to emerge from the shadows of the Champion, coincidentally in the place to which Atilath planned to teleport. However, the yellow eyes of the half-wolf convinced her that this was not a good time to do that.

Had Stella been a little slower, she certainly wouldn't have reacted in time to use her <The Opposer> ability that created a barrier around her. The only time she needed to use this was in the final of the Tournament of Legends, and she only needed it because her opponent was an archer with wings; otherwise, she would never have used it.

The half-wolf was thrown far away but remained firmly on the ground. Luke knew that the fact that magic was forbidden in the test was a great advantage for him, considering that his skills were exclusively melee.

”Hmph! You're strong.” Stella said to Luke. ”You're probably a Class B with lots of experience in underground Dungeons, aren't you?”

In reality, Luke had never entered a Dungeon in his entire life. He didn't like tight places, especially ones with the smell of death.

”Why do you say that?” Although he had missed his big chance to end it all, he was confident that he would beat her anyway, so he had time for a little chat.

”You hid your presence as I've never seen anyone else do. Surely, you're the type who goes in front of the group to check before entering any room, aren't you?”

'I hid my presence?' Although he knew he wasn't weak like most, Luke still didn't understand any of these complicated concepts.

”Stop the exercise, you don't have to fight anymore. I've already decided who will be hired.” Exclaimed Oliver.

Confused, everyone approached him. The ultimate confrontation was about to happen, so why did the guard interrupt?

If anyone could kick, it would be because he saw that continuing the battle would not show anything more.. All five of them had already shown what they were good at and what they were not.
