Chapter 278 - First Spys Assignment (2) (2/2)

Auron looked back at the leader and said, ”You will regret it later. You just missed a stronger mage than what you have now.”

After saying that, Auron started to walk out of the test site. The leader began pondering on what Auron's had said. He thought that he had to change the way he tests the applicant. Then, he stopped Auron, ”Wait!”

”What you said had opened my eyes.” The leader said.

Then, the leader announced, ”Starting from now, the class who had the spot filled will have to prove their skill by challenging one of the accepted. And, if they win, they could take the spot. However, you only have one chance to challenge.”

”The one who had been rejected without taking any test before can participate in this process once. To make this fair, after one person being challenged, the applicant cannot select that person until two rounds of challenge.”

The rejected one immediately cheer on the new announcement. However, that was not the case for the accepted one. They resent Auron, but they could not do anything and just accepted what the leader had said.

The leader said to Auron, ”You go first! Pick your opponent from that four mages.”

Auron could choose his opponent from one of the four mages. He knew what the leader's mean. That one mage who could not be selected must be among the original members of the leader.

Auron didn't care about it since he only needed one spot. Then, Auron pointed at one of the mages, ”I want him!”

Among the four, the mages that Auron selects was not the weakest nor the strongest. He was in the middle and should be a little bit stronger than Auron. However, Auron still confident of winning against that mage.

After a few arrangements from the leader, a duel arena was made. It was a 6x6 meter arena. There were only two rules, defeat your opponent inside the stage, and if you get out of the specified stage, you would be the disqualified.

Auron and the opponent he selected went up to the arena. A bunch of spectators was gathered around the stage. They consisted of the passerby or the other applicant who wait for their turn.

”You made two mistakes just now.” Auron's opponent said.

”First, because of you, I have to undergo another test. And, your second mistake is you choose me as your opponent!”

Still maintaining his arrogant attitude, Auron scoffed, ”Oh, I am so scared...”

”Enough with the talk. Show me what you got!” Auron said.

The leader looked at Auron and his opponent. Then, he asked, ”Ready?”

Both Auron and his opponent nodded, showing they were ready. ”Then, let the battle begin!” The leader started the match.
