Chapter 64: Guild Test Part Three
The dummy ran forward charging at Cicily. It brought its arm back and threw out a punch. Cicily, quickly used her daggers to parry the attack while spinning her body to get to the dummy's back side. She slashed down with both daggers in an x digging her daggers deep into the dummy's back. The dummy stopped all movements before collapsing to the ground.
"Good! Excellent footwork." Grayson yelled out as he clapped. The rest also clapped.
Cicily gave a faint smile. She did not seem to be too proud of what she did. The F rank dummy was nothing more than fighting a two bit thug in the back alleys. Windy was next as she unfurled the whip she had attached to her hip. "Come on darling~ Come play with big sister~"
After saying her words she sent the next dummy flying with one wave of her whip.
This continued on as everyone easily dispatched the F rank dummy. Alicia, of course, was no exception. She only flicked her wrist and the dummy was chopped into tiny pieces. Her movements were so quick that no one was able to see how many times she actually attacked.
"Alright, that was the easy one. From here on out the danger will be much greater. E rank dummies are about one hundred times harder than an F rank. This time we will start with Alicia." Grayson wanted to see Alicia's skill one more time. That was why he had Alicia go first. He did not want to wait for the others to finish before her turn.
Alicia stepped forward and watched as the next dummy rose up from the floor. With sword in hand she did not wait for the dummy to attack first she took the initiative and attacked. Once again she flicked her wrist and just like the last dummy it was instantly chopped into pieces. To Alicia, these dummies were no challenge. They were like robots with simplistic AI that were buffed with magic.
Although they were easy for Alicia that was not the case for others. It was Cicily's turn. As she stared at the E rank dummy, she seemed she was a little nervous this time. The dummy shot towards her at lightning speed. The gap between E rank and F rank was huge this startled Cicily at first but she quickly used her footwork to just barely dodge the first attack. The dummy quickly turned around and threw another punch at Cicily which she crossed her daggers in front of her to block the punch!
*Peng!*
Sound of wood and metal echoed throughout the room. Cicily slid back a few meters before steadying herself. She made a few signs with her hand and to Alicia's surprise, Cicily disappeared from where she stood and reappeared behind the dummy stabbing her daggers straight into its back. Cicily wiped the sweat from her brow. She was lucky she was able to react in time or she would have been taken out.
"Haha! So someone from a ninja clan. A rare sight these days. Good! Good!" Grayson clapped. He liked how quick Cicily reacted.
"Humph! If you think that is good watch this!" Windy yelled out as she stepped forward.
Grayson only rolled his eyes at her. He was not planning to have her go first but since she stepped out he might as well let her take her turn. He pressed a button and another dummy rose up from the floor.
Once the dummy was activated it's whole body shook and shot at Windy like a bullet.
*Bang!*
"AHHH!!!" Windy could not even pull the whip from her hip before she was sent flying.
"...."
Grayson let out a sigh and pulled out a device from his pocket. "Send the med team in..." Two minutes later three people entered the room and carried Windy away to get healed. Grayson looked at everyone else and said: "Please do not be full of yourselves this is how you get yourself killed. Use Windy as an example. If you are not confident that you can handle the dummy of a higher tier just forfeit and wait for the one on one portion of the test. Next!"
The battles continued on without much issue. Only a few had a bit of trouble but they finally won in the end. Everyone had gone except for Starla who stood in the front with her sword ready. The dummy rose up and shot towards her. Starla stood in place and placed the tip of her sword in her other hand so that it was horizontal across her chest. "Soimuliao Vebhiluys!" After shouting this chant a magic circle formed at her feet. Her hair fluttered as five swords made out of water formed around her. "Go!"
*Whoosh!* *Bang!*
The five water swords shot forward and smashed into the dummy causing the whole dummy to shatter into pieces. Just like Alicia, Starla defeated the E Rank dummy in one move. Everyone was surprised, even Grayson was very surprised. They all wanted to know what was up with this younger generation. Were they not overly powerful for their age!?
"Haha! Seems like this is the time of the younger generation. Us old folks will be surpassed in mere years never mind decades." Grayson said with a big smile on his face. He really liked seeing how powerful the younger generation can be. "Alright next is the D rank dummies. As of now, I suggest the following people stop here and not take on a D rank dummy…." Grayson paused for a second as he gazed at everyone. "Osborn, Ryder, Cicily, and Slade. You four should drop out. You will not be able to take this dummy on. You can give it a try but I would not suggest it."
