(Wn) Chapter 204 (1/2)

The Events that Took Place The Day Before the Tournaan

The Martial Arts Tournain tomorrow

Fran, Urushi+, and I were doing the usual thing and honing our skills within the Eastern Dungeon

『Hey Fran, I think it’s about time you take a break』

「Little longer」

『You sure? You see focus』

Fran had pushed herself to fight for such an extended duration that she’d started to show signs of ood bit of dae from both etting worse at both noticing and disar the traps she came across

「…Little bit longer」

In spite of all that, she ended up refusing She simply bit down on her lips and narrowed her eyes as she scoured the area for another enee

『Haaaahh… Fine Just a little longer then』

I was a bit concerned that she wouldn’t be in her best possible condition for the prelims tomorrow if she pushed herself any further, but ended up coardless

In a sense, being in top for herself as hard as she was in the first place Fran wanted to evolve before ultiainst the Beast Lord, but she wasn’t showing any signs of doing so Hence, she only ended up feeling the need to push herself even harder

『Would you happen to have a moment?』

We suddenly heard Ruh ourourselves onwards

「Rumina?」

Hearing her voice just pop out of nowhere had left ed to cal that resembled my telepathic abilities

『I have a matter I wish to discuss with you, and would like you to pay me a visit if you do not mind it』

「Got it」

Though I was a bit curious as to why she went as far as to call for us, I ended up deciding to take her up on her offer i as how Fran needed a break, and she was also kinda just a teleport away, so there wasn’t really any inconvenience associated with us dropping by

Rureeted us as we teleported into the room she’d made for us

「I… welcome you…」

「Nn」

『Well, you did tell us to drop by, so』

「Indeed I did…」

So about her seey than usual, and kinda just gave off a bit of a frailer i bad had happened to her

「Ru okay?」

「I apologize for worrying you You need nota tad exhausted」

『You sure you’re okay?』

「I am fine More importantly, I would like to offer the two of you a trial Have you any interest in it?」

『You said a trial?』

「A trial indeed I cannot describe its details, but would like for you to to partake in it What say you?」

The fact that she couldn’t tell us any details was kinda fishy, but I highly doubted that Ru us into a trap

「Be warned, the trial will be an exceedingly dangerous one」

「Got it」

Fran didn’t seehtest, as so she ied that she knew that she was going to be getting herself into so difficult should we accept

I figured that there was practically no way Fran was going to choose to refuse Ruiven how close the two had beco to quickly double check her intentions regardless

『You want to take her up on this whole trial thing, Fran?』

「Of course」

『You 100 sure? The fact that Ruerous probably erous』

「Don’t care」

It looked like Fran had alreadyit

「I take it you wish to accept my trial then?」

「Nn!」

Rumina had us head over to the massive room in which she’d sparred with Fran

Entering it caused us to catch sight of so completely overwhelmed

『Is that supposed to be a ic circle?』

「Huge」

The enoric circle filled basically as the entire 100 meter wide room It was created in such a way that it parts extended into a sort of radial pattern with its point of origin at the rooether at the edges to forn

It wasn’t like any of the othera scale

I couldn’t even begin to fathom what this one was supposed to be used for

「I shall now proceed to suic Beast De it」

Ru over an intercom or PA System

「Nn Got it」

So our trial was to defeat sos? We’d been doing that for quite sooing to benefit us in some particular manner…?

「Very well Begin!」

The ical energy suddenly started getting concentrated into the circle’s centerpoint Strong winds swirled around the rooh to make a complete mess of Fran’s hair She had no choice but to squint in order to observe the energy as it took on it luether

A single y that formed it finally dimmed and vanished

「Hah…hah…」

Controlling all that energy had caused Ru rather heavily

「Ru?」

「I… am fine… Mind me not…」

The fact that she didn’t sound even the slightest bit fine served to evidence that the act of suht had taken one hell of a lot of y

What appeared before us was a humanoid creature with its entire body dyed jet black The darkits body made it difficult fornot too different froiven that its head and whatnot seemed to be covered in fur

However, appraising it allowedso fiendish and powerful that a Kobold couldn’t even begin to coht the other day It didn’t have too h, as if to compensate

Huh… It apparently had the Awakening skill…?

「Defeat it… and absorb its ic stone…」

I knew it! This was so she’d summonened so she could help Fran evolve!

Still, su it had totally exhausted her It see like this without having to really push themselves

Fran seemed to understand that, as her expression had transformed and become more determined than it had ever been before

「Master, let’s go!」

『Let’s do it!』
