Though there was indeed an option to fight individually against the Rank-6 Mage, it was still rare for people to attempt this.

We have to know that the difference between each rank is not something that numbers could ever overcome!

Even if a Rank-6 was against more than 50 of the Rank-5, it might not be necessary that Rank-6 Mage would lose. And this difference only kept increasing with the Ranks.

To the point where a Rank-9 Mage was generally impossible to be defeated by anyone under Rank-9! How could Rank-8 Mage's even compare to the sheer destruction brought down by a casual Spell from the former?

Hence the onlookers were surprised that Raven had decided to fight against the judge on a 1v1 battle.

The chances of her getting promoted to Gold Rank sharply reduced since it was almost impossible for a Rank-5 to survive even a single attack from Rank-6 Mage.

Emory and Lucy on the sidelines sneered as they did not think that Raven would even leave a scratch on her opponent.

Lucy was particularly hoping for Raven to miserably lose since she thought that this black-haired girl was the reason that Blaze rejected her so coldly.

She had not even bothered to see Ozul's face as he barely had any presence. If she did, her thought process would have been totally different.

So Raven entered the training ground unperturbed by the sneers of a couple of spectating people.

”Girl, you should have come at me together. But I guess you won't understand until you try it yourself.”

The middle-aged man also did not think that Raven alone would be able to make him give her Gold Rank promotion.

”No one knows unless they try, do they?”- From another point of view, she seemed to humble herself, but the middle-aged man saw otherwise when Raven stared at him coldly.

Without the need for any signal, the middle-aged man and Raven quickly put some strengthening Spells without the chanting before the later rushed towards the former.

The middle-aged man stood his ground, allowing Raven the first strike. He watched in interest when black smoke suddenly surrounded her arms, and when it vanished, two long daggers appeared in her hands.

'Darkness Element?! I will have to report this...'- Emory, who was spectating the fight was stupefied that someone would actually use Darkness Element!

Though Emory had easily identified Raven's Element after seeing just one Spell, it did not cross anyone else's mind that this might be the case.

People did not usually judge others Element based on the color radiated during Spellcasting since there were many exceptions to this.

Even some of the Fire-based Magical Spells could sometimes produce a dark color, which sometimes appeared to be black.

The middle-aged man did not have the time to think which Element Raven was using since he had made a big mistake.

The middle-aged man did not even know that she was not only a Rank-5 Mage but also a Rank-5 Fighter, which gave her the overall advantage of physical attacks.

Both of them had strengthened their physical body with Spells, but Raven had the upper hand since she was already a Rank-5 Fighter.

The spectators were also surprised since they had imagined the fight to be more of Spells, but Raven closed in on her opponent, which indicated that she was going for the physical battle.

The middle-aged man took a few steps back and chanted the Spell that sent a storm of rocks towards Raven.

*Swhooshh*

Raven barely dodged the attack as some of the rocks were about to hit her, but she deflected them using the daggers.

Both of them were only a meter apart when Raven suddenly jumped in the air, retracting her hands, which indicated that she was about to throw them at her opponent.

'Hmph! Silly move...'- The middle-aged man thought before creating a big rock in the trajectory of the daggers.

Jumping in the air was a naive mistake that any newbie could make since it would leave them in a vulnerable state if their opponent could dodge or block the attack.

As expected, Raven threw the daggers straight at the middle-aged man who sneered at her foolish move.

Just when the daggers were about to get in contact with his rock shield, he readied another attack that would finish the battle.

However, he was dumbfounded when the daggers which were about to hit his shield suddenly disappeared in black smoke!

He looked at Raven, who had landed on the ground and noticed that she had another pair of daggers in her hands!

This move was the improvement that Raven had done with the Spell. She could just wish the daggers to teleport to her hands whenever she wanted.

The Rank-6 Mage sent the attack that he had prepared towards her, but to his surprise, Raven just sidestepped and dodged the attack like it was nothing.
