83 Chapter 82 (1/2)
The place where the final test would be done was an improvised stadium... no, it looked more like an arena. Leon couldn't help but wonder why something like that was built, but considering that he heard a lot of noise before he went to sleep, that place was probably being used...
All the recruits in the dorms headed to that place, and there they saw only three examiners, one of them was a black-headed bulky man who had a long sword on his back, another one was a slender woman who had a red bow, her hair was short and brown. The last one was a plain-looking blonde man who was carrying a magic staff.
”My name is Paul, and I will select the new members of the defensive troop.” The man carrying a sword said.
”My name is Jess, and I will select the new members of the tactical troop,” The woman carrying the bow said.
”My name is Arthur, and I will select the new members of the offensive troop.” The blond man said.
That atmosphere was quite weird, but thanks to that, Leon had an idea where the spies of the Allied Forces of the North-America usually worked, it had to be in the tactical troop. It was possible that the ones involved with Makoto's son's death were spying other countries, but that a good start anyway.
”You guys don't have to do much to pass the final test,” Paul said. ” You just have to show what you can do against us. Each one of you will fight against the three of us, show us the best of you can do because that will define your rank. The first one will be…”
Things got complicated, Leon didn't have much experience fighting against humans, he actually didn't have any experience in that aspect at all. He could end up killing them if he fights too seriously, or Leon may end up in a low rank if he holds back too much.
”What a pain... I wanted to start close to William, but it would be weird if I show too much power and skill after 'learning' the magic just a few days ago.”
In the end, Leon decided to go with the basic version of his most common way of attacking. Anyway, just as expected, most survivors fought using melee weapons. Those guys fought quite decently against Paul, but against Jess, they barely had the chance to scratch her. As for Arthur, he just overpowered them with a spell called Earth Punch, which broke their bones easily... All in all, those recruits didn't have half of that power Ren's soldiers had. They would have a hard time fighting against slimes... obviously, they failed on the final test. The battles ended quite fast, so eventually, it was Leon's turn.
”Leonard, it is your turn now,” Paul said. ”Give it your best shot.”
