11 Day of the Tests (1/2)

Soon after 5 days passed by. During these 5 days of preparation besides eating and taking rest, Astra never left the library. The food was brought to him by Nanea as she was responsible for taking care of Astra, because of which Nanea and Astra grew closer. Nanea would stay with Astra in the library and help him with any problems or queries that troubled him. Spending those 5 days together made them become close.

On the day of test, Nanea went to the library to get Astra and go to the site where the test would be done. The elder had sent her the information about where and when the test will begin.

Nanea reaches the Library gate and enters the library. She sees Astra sitting at the end of the first floor of the library while he was going through a book. Nanea walks up to him.

”Astra! It's time. We should get going, we wouldn't want to be late, do we?” [Nanea]

Hearing himself being called, Astra looks at the person calling him and nodes at seeing Nanea was the one calling him. He stands up, places the book from where he took that book and follows behind Nanea.

”Astra, how was your preparation. In the last 5 days you haven't even left the library once except when you had to freshen up. I bet you will ace the tests that are to come in your way.” [Nanea]

”I wouldn't be so sure of myself. I might have been keeping myself hold up in the for the last 5 days, but the elders are elders for a reason. If a mere 5 days of continuous preparation allowed anyone to pass in all the specialties of the elders then wouldn't anyone be able to join the sect.

I can only give my best and pray that everything goes well.” [Astra]

”You're right. It's so silly of me to ask such a mater to you. Only the future knows what's in store for us.” [Nanea]

They walked for quite a long time before reaching a small arena in the edge of the sect. The elders had selected this place so that no one would disturb them and the test could progress without any hitch.

After reaching the arena, the duo could see all the elders waiting for the duo to arrive on the arena. The duo greeted the elders and stood in front of the elders.

”Good. I can see that you don't feel nervous, if it were any other disciple they would have started trembling the very moment they saw all the elders together, but it seems it doesn't faze you at all.

I hope you have prepared well, all the elders here will test you on the field they excel in.

I now announce that the test BEGINS!!!” [Head Elder Zheng]

After the head elder completed his part of speech, an elder came in front of Astra and spoke.

”I am the elder in charg of Martial arts Faction. You can call me Elder Cang. Your first test will be on your understanding of martial arts.

I'll be giving you a box filled with basic tier of martial arts technique. It may be weapon art, fist art, movement art, any, it will all depend on what martial art technique you choose. Then, you'll be given 30 minutes to learn that technique till the stage of minor accomplishment.
