[Mark LVL 50 – Twin Element Mage]
"Are you the one who's level 30 at a young age of 13?" He asked with a small smile.
[Yes I am. I want to register for a membership.]
"I see. I'm afraid we'll have to do a personal exam to determine your true rank and priority is that ok? It's not every day we get a young genius like you." He said as he gestured at Shiro.
"Now may you follow me to the testing room."
Shiro nodded as she pulled forward her hood a little. Walking towards the testing room, Shiro wondered what the test was.
"Here is an old generation model of the virtual combat simulator. You'll be able to enter a combat space where your magic is measured." Mark said as he pointed the capsule in the centre.
"This is also what we use to determine the priority list. Top 20 will have to fight to keep their ranks.
Everyone outside of the top 20 will have chances to challenging the top 20 when they're in top 50.
As for how we determine the top 50, it depends on how well they do in terms of performance average of the last 20 matches."
Looking at the device, Shiro already had a basic idea oh how it worked.
[I'm guessing it's based on instinctive reactions that you move the body in the simulation. This is so that levels and status don't matter at all and it's all about how well the brain can control body right? And to ensure fairness, I'm guessing that you make it so that everyone's character has the same status, meaning as long as your control and technique is good, you can win.] Shiro typed out as she showed it to Mark.
"Have you seen this before?" He asked surprised that she knew about it.
[No, but it's easy to guess.] Shiro smiled.
'If it's based on how well I can control my body then I have an advantage over the people here.' Shiro thought.
"Hmm. I see, anyways, I want you to enter the simulation and have a spar with me. I'll determine your priority level." Mark said as Shiro was a special case.
The normal procedure for determining one's rank was just to do 10 spars with other people and ranked based on performance.
However, for Shiro was a level 30 at the young age of 13, Mark wanted to test her out himself.
Shiro reached out for Yin as she set her by the side.
"I'm going to do this spar for a bit. Be a good girl and sit here ok?" Shiro said as Yin chirped in acknowledgement.
"Is that your pet?" Mark asked.
[Yes, her name is Yin. She'll sit by the side while we do the spar.]
Getting into the capsule, Shiro closed her eyes as she entered the virtual world.
In front of her, there was a panel for character creation. She was about to remake her body from her past life when she paused.
'This is my second life, no need to be so hung up on my past glory. I may have perfect body control with my old body but I have a new one now. I should aim to get better at my current body.' Shiro thought as she allowed the capsule to keep her current looks.
Next was magic, Shiro narrowed her eyes when she saw metal base element magic. Exiting out the world, she flexed her fingers as nanobots entered the capsule. Searching through the records, she erased everything that might link to her being a Nanomancer.
Sighing in relief, she re-entered the simulation and only found tier 2 ice magic.
Finishing up the customisation, Shiro marvelled at the feeling.
'Whilst not as good as the virtual machines in my first life, this isn't too bad.' Shiro thought.
Shiro looked around as she saw that she was in a Colosseum type construct.
Cream coloured pillars could be seen around them as there was a spectator stand for the would-be viewers. The arena itself was made from rock and sand as it made it hard to get a decent grip on the floor.
'This might limit my phantom arts a little.' Shiro thought with a frown.
Phantom arts were heavily reliant on footwork and momentum control.
With a surface like this, Shiro would find it hard to use phantom arts to their fullest. The only reason she could use it well with her ice was due to her control over the ice. If not, she'll be slipping everywhere due to the slippery surface.
Not too far away from her Mark stood
"The test is simple. Demonstrate your magic during combat." Mark smiled.
Lightning and fire swirled around both his hand as he gestured for her to attack him.
'His elements are fire and lightning. The lightning I can chain away using my ice, but his fire is a bit more annoying.
His main weakness would be mana expenditure since his fire and lightning cost more. With him sustaining two elements, the best way for me to win is to draw out the fight.
Another way would be to bombard him as much as I can.' Shiro thought as ice and snow swirled around her.
The wind caused her hair to flip around as she looked like an elemental spirit.
'First, I need my area of effect.' Shiro thought as she slammed her palms down.
Ice rapidly spread out as Shiro visualised the entire process to make sure the ice was extra strong and hard to melt.
Mark jumped back in slightly surprise seeing how fast the ice managed to covered the entire area.
Even though there was a distance of at least 25 meters from her to him, he was almost hit by the ice.
'Her visualisation must be incredible for the ice to spread this quickly.' Mark thought as he landed on the ice.
Sliding slightly, he crouched down and tried to melt the ice with his fire.
His frown deepened when he realised the ice was still mostly intact.
Before he could continue to melt the ice, he had to roll to the left as an ice spike landed and exploded in his previous spot.
Flicking his wrist, he shot lightning towards her.
Shiro only smiled as she clutched her hand. A wall made of ice rose up as the outer layer was thawed slightly so there was a layer of water.
Lightning chained along the wall as it dealt no damage.
'His fire can't melt my ice well enough while the water from my ice blocks his lightning. This match is mine.' Shiro thought with a smile.
There was also the choice of overwhelming her in pure combat prowess, but she had a whole lifetime to hone herself in combat. A person fighting for 30 odd years couldn't compare to her.
Dashing towards him, Shiro decided to go close-quarters combat.
A spear of ice was formed in her hands as she stabbed towards Mark.
Pivoting on his leg, Mark made a fist of fire as he punched towards her.
Shiro flicked her wrist and the spear spun back towards her. This allowed her to grab the spear with two hands and block Mark's strike.
Yin Style Phantom Arts: 3rd Phantom – Counter Weight Phantom.
Shifting her weight, Shiro pulled Mark towards her as kicked him in the stomach using the combined weight of that instance of him attacking.
"URG!" Mark groaned slightly as his body was sent backwards.
Rolling on the ground, he flipped his body and stood back up.
He only saw Shiro flick her wrist as he saw the area around him darken.
"Oh shit!" He cried out in shock.
Fire and Thunder gathered in his palms as he launched a blast upwards, destroying the pillar Shiro was about to drop onto him.
Shiro took this into account as she was already in front of him.
Sliding on her feet, Shiro stabbed the spear towards his head.
*PHEW!
The power of the spear created a small gust as Mark managed to doge his head out of the way.
Fire and lightning gathered in front of him as he aimed it towards Shiro.
Flicking her spare hand, a shield was erected in front of her.
She frowned when she saw the blast carving through the ice with ease.
Stabbing the spear into the shield, Shiro shifted her weight as she vaulted over the shield and landed behind Mark.
Her spear was aimed at his rear as she grinned.
'Extend!'
"AHHH!!!"
The match ended just like that. Shiro's spear was able to penetrate all the way in and fatally rupture his internal organs.
Leaving the simulation, Mark and Shiro looked at each other.
Shiro had a grin whilst Mark had a pale face. His expression slightly traumatised from having died from anal shock.
"Was there no other way other than what you did? I don't know maybe stab me through my chest?" Mark said.
The simulation would transfer a little of the phantom pain so that the human brain would still react to the stimulus. However, the feeling of dying due to an anal probe wasn't something he wants to go through again.
Shiro only grinned as walked over to Yin.
Tapping her head, Shiro placed Yin on her shoulders as Mark had a hand on his ass, still feeling a sting from the phantom pain.
"So your magic control is the peak of tier 2 I'd say. Combat prowess… high. I'll place you in rank 20 of the priority list ok? You'll also have a VIP membership with the mages guild." Mark said as Shiro nodded.
"Pass me your ID, I'll update it on the system."
Passing over her ID, Mark added a few more lines to her ID.
[Name: Shiro
Estimated Age: 13
Class: Ice Mage
LVL: 30
Mage's Association Membership: VIP
Priority Rank: 20 (New York Branch)]
Taking back the ID, Shiro wanted to see if she could access the Attunement Hall.
[Since I'm ranked 20 on the list, am I able to enter the Attunement Hall now?] Shiro asked.
"Ah so that was what you wanted. Unfortunately, you'll need to wait a day before you can use the Attunement Halls. Today is used by the top 10. Tomorrow is used by the top 20 and so on."
[Alright. What privileges does having a VIP account give me?]
"You get access to tomes, materials and skill simulations." Mark said as Shiro nodded.
Skill simulations weren't anything foreign for her. In fact, they were one of the most common things in her past life.
Not everyone can find a grimoire or skill stone, so they resort to simulations and people mimicking the effects of the skill.
With enough proficiency and consistency, you'll be able to unlock the skill in the system.
Naturally, with a martial art like Yin Style Phantom Arts, it won't show up on the system. This was due to the fact that it isn't a skill and rather a set of movements.
In time, she should be able to gain a title though.
Every martial art rewarded a title after a certain time. The first being [(Martial Art Style) Practitioner].
The higher ranked the titles get, the more bonuses it grants you.
[Then for the materials, am I able to trouble you with collecting 30 Ice cores?]
"30 Ice Core!?" Mark said in shock.
Ice cores, while not extremely rare, wasn't common either. Out of 10 Ice Type D ranked bosses, only 1 or 2 of them would drop.
To get 30 Ice Cores was equivalent to killing almost 100 plus Ice ranked bosses.
The mages association could afford it but it would still make Mark's heart ache from the expenditure.
"To get 30 Ice Cores, you'll have to be in top 10. At most, I can give you is 10. And that's the upper limit.
'Top 10 huh…' Shiro thought as a grin slowly formed on her face.
Seeing the face, Mark felt his anus tense up again.
[How do I challenge the top ten for their spots?]
"You'll have to challenge rank 19 first and work your way up 1 by 1."
[Is that so? How would I challenge them? Is it just by the simulation again?]
"Yes. If the rank isn't online, you can challenge the rank above them." Mark nodded.
[Alright. I'm going back in.] Shiro said as she sat in the pod.
"The fight will be broadcasted. We have fights broadcasted so that people know about the rank changes."
[Sure.]
Shiro wasn't too bothered. It wasn't like she was going to be using her Nanomancer anyways.
Entering the simulation world, Shiro checked out the rankings and saw that rank 19 was available to be challenged.
Pressing the challenge button, Shiro waited for the match to start.
[Opponent Has Accepted The Challenge. Teleporting in 10]
Stretching her fake simulated body, Shiro waited for the countdown to finish.
The arena was more of a modern arena.
It was a huge room without anything special as there were only a few rooms with glass windows as the viewing platform.
In front of her, was rank 19 on the priority list. Killian.
He had long red hair tied into a ponytail, tall body build, black robe and a spellbook in his hands.
Shiro grinned as she created her ice spear. The next victim was ready.

"Fuuu…."
A cloud of smoke was breathed out as Lucius sighed.
After several weeks of pursing from his attackers, he was finally able to escape their reach.
Naturally by that, he means kill them all.
Cracking his neck, he stretched his body.
"Che, old bastards thinking I was an easy target." He spat out as he threw away his cigarette.
Right now, he was mentally worn out and fatigued. He needed a safe location to rest up.
Walking over to the mages guild, he went up to the receptionist.
"Get Mark over here." He said as the receptionist frowned.
"I'm afraid you don't have the permission."
"Just tell him his lord is here then." Lucius narrowed his eyes.
The receptionist paused hearing this and nodded.
Jogging to the testing room, she soon returned with Mark.
Lucius gestured slightly as Mark nodded.
Walking into a separate room, Lucius sat down on a chair and closed his eyes.
"I'm sorry young master. I wasn't able to help you since the association was being watched." Mark said as he kneeled down.
"No worries. I was able to kill them in the end." Lucius replied as he sat up.
"That being said. How's the tasks I gave you?"
"I'm afraid I have little to no progress. The traitors hide their tracks extremely well." Mark reported.
"Hmm…"
Lucius narrowed his eyes as the faction was slowly being overtaken by traitors. Even though he was the young master, his level was only 50, he couldn't stand up to those old monsters just yet.
"Keep trying to find them. In the mean time, try to get a few good seedlings in the faction recruitment. Having a few new bloods under my control will help against the traitors."
"Understood." Mark nodded.
*AHHH!!!!
The two paused when they suddenly heard a scream coming from the main hall.
"Is there anything going on?" He asked.
"Not that I know of- … I think it might be one of the ranking matches." Mark said pausing when he remembered what a certain girl did to him. Just the thought made him pucker his anus.
"Oh? Is the ranking match that brutal?" Lucius asked with curiosity.
For a match to be brutal, it'll have to cause a huge amount of damage in one hit before the system sends them out.
For someone to be able to make the spectators cry out like that means they have quite the potentials.
"Its…brutal in its own sense." Mark said after a pause.
Lucius's interest was peak further as it turned on the TV and tuned into the fight.
"Young master I don't think you should w-…" Mark's warning was a little too late as they saw Shiro pierce the ass of the person who's ranked 18th on the list.
Lucius's face darkened slightly as he saw how she aimed at the ass of the enemies.
"Actually… isn't she…" He muttered finding her a little familiar.
'Wait isn't she the little girl who caused me to waste time!' He thought when he saw her face.
"Mark. I want you to give me all the information you have on her." He said with narrowed eyes.
"Here, I was attending to her not too long ago so I have her information on me." Mark said handing him the ID copy.
"Hmm… aged 13 and level 30 huh? Interesting." He smiled.
"Try recruit her into our group when the faction recruitment starts." Lucius smiled.
"I'll try." Mark nodded.
Dismissing mark, Lucius sat on the sat with a smile as he watched her fight.
'How vulgar… yet oddly effective. We humans have little to no protection on our rear, making it a prime weak point. There is a natural entry there to destroy your internals after all. We can protect our eyes, our mouths and other points in front of us. But one would almost never protect their ass.' Lucius thought.
It was an interesting weakness that Shiro had shown him. It maybe vulgar, it maybe shameless, but it was effective. Male, female, monster, everyone had the weakness par from some.
With such a spot available, if would be dumb not to attack it.
'The only factor restraining this would be embarrassment. Her face would be awfully thick if she isn't embarrassed by this. Perhaps I should consider this weakness as well.' He thought with a smile.
His eyes glowed with interest as he continued to read her records.
Tapping his fingers, a shadow version on him rose up as it bowed.
"Keep an eye on her. I want to see if she's hiding anything else."
The shadow faded into the cracks of the wall as he continued to watch.
It was during the 4th match did he frown.
"Those movements… why do they seem similar to the martial arts of the founder." He muttered.
The founder of the faction he was in, Shadow Palace, used a special set of martial arts that was lost through time. The Martial arts while only a fragment of the original, allowed her to propel the Shadow Palace up the ranks of the factions out in the world.
The martial arts focused on ghost like movements and was purely a movement type martial art.
It was with this that the founder was titled Ghost.
However, he was witnessing Shiro perform a similar set of movements that fit with the description of the founder's martial art.
Standing up from his chair, he decided to have a little talk with her when she comes out of the simulation.
###
Killing her opponent that was ranked 12th on the list, Shiro flicked her wrist as the ice spear dissembled.
The stands were filled with spectators as it wasn't every day that you see a challenger fly through the ranks.
Especially one that won with such an… interesting tactic.
"You think there's something wrong with her?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean she's always going for the ass, right? She's also killing them one by one. Doesn't she know she could fight the top 10?"
"You mean to say she's setting an example?"
"Perhaps. Either that or do you think she has a thing for.. you know."
"… is she a sadist?"
"Why else do you think she's fighting them one by one."
"Oh god! Imagine if she fought like this in real life."
"… don't. This world is cursed enough as it is!"
"You can't deny it though!"
"I suppose you're right."
"When she gets into top 10, do you think she'll get a title as well? Would they even allow it though."
"Hmm, true. Titles are based on combat habits. With a habit like her's, what do you think she could be called?"
"Erm… Ass Busting Queen?"
"…"
"…"
"How about… Anus Annihilator?"
"Doesn't feel right."
"Anus Destroyer Shiro?"
"Hmm perhaps."
"Anus Destroying Empress."
"You know she's 13 right? It says her on her Mages ID."
"Anus Destroying Princess?"
"That. Let's go with that."
"Anus Destroying Princess… I like that. Has a nice yet evil ring to it."
"Doesn't it fit her well though? Look at her. She's so pretty at a young age but her tendencies are a little. Ahem."
###
Tapping on the button for rank 11, Shiro saw that it was forfeited the moment she challenged him.
'Is he afraid?' Shiro thought as she did fight her way through the ranks easily.
Tapping rank 10, she was happy that he accepted.
Rank 10 was called Shane. He was a mage that also focused on the ice element.
As her vision shifted, she saw her opponent.
He had a large robe that covered his body and face, leaving only his eyes out.
His body build was slightly on the small side as he didn't have a weapon on him.
"You! Why do you keep stabbing at the ass of the mages." He shouted out as he glared at her.
Shiro didn't reply as it was a waste of time.
She only smiled provocatively as she taunted him.
This caused him to frown as a magic circle wrapped around his arm.
Before he could set out his area of control, Shiro was way ahead of him as she slammed her palms down and froze the area.
Crouching low, she made a spear as she dashed towards him.
Stabbing the spear into the ground, she pivoted on her feet as she slid around and behind him.
She was about to stab her spear at him when she quickly shifted her weight and flipped away from him.
Landing on the ice, she slid back for a moment before she stabilised herself.
Shane had a chunk of ice encasing his rear as there were ice spikes shooting out of it.
If she had stayed there, it may have injured her.
Shane only smiled seeing he saw his plan work.
Before he could even talk, he saw Shiro with a bland expression as she flicked her wrist.
*BOOMMMM!!!!!!
When she flipped away, she had set down a trap for him.
If a small spear didn't work then she just needed a larger one.
From below his feet, a giant ice pillar shot upwards as it completely obliterated his chunk of ice that protected his rear.
With a single move, his body was split in two as his corpse launched high into the air.
The crowd was shocked as not even protecting your rear with magic could protect your anus.
Seeing that she reached top 10 in terms of ranking, Shiro decided to stop as there had been enough victims for today.
Exiting the capsule, Shiro stretched her body as she picked Yin up.
'Hm? Where's the branch master?' Shiro thought as she looked around.
Exiting out of the room, Shiro looked around and saw Mark walking together with another man.
'Wait isn't he that dipsh*t who handled me roughly last time.' Shiro thought with narrowed eyes.
Walking up to them, Shiro tapped away at her phone.
[Mark, I've reached top 10. I do believe I'm entitled to my 30 Ice Cores now.]
"Ah erm this…" Mark muttered feeling a little pinch. Not only that, but his young master was here right now.
"It's fine. Give her the 30 Ice Cores." Lucius said with a smile.
This caused Shiro to narrow her eyes as she wondered about their relationship.
[Thanks. My address should be on my ID profile. Just send it there.]
"Hang on. I have a question for you." Lucius asked.
[What?]
"Where did you learn your martial arts?"
Shiro frowned hearing the question.
[None of your business. And also, next time remember to handle girls with care.]
Shiro walked away as Lucius only chuckled.
"Handle with care huh? Her methods aren't exactly the most careful are they?" Lucius muttered.
"You know each other young master?"
"She wasted my time during my pursuit. The old geezers almost caught up to me because of her."
"Should I go and end her?" Mark asked with a frown.
"Leave it. I want to recruit her. No need to kill an upcoming talent." Lucius shook his head.
What he doesn't understand are the people who kill what they can't get. Humanity as a whole is only a small part of this world now. Satellites didn't work as they wished so they couldn't scout out the vast world. They tried to send rockets but they would get destroyed by flying-type monsters.
With them forced to abide by foreign rules, they needed every talent possible. Even if they aren't part of the team, they're still part of humanity.
All so that humanity can survive in this strange world.
"Give her the cores and support her growth. We need talents like her. Not to mention, she was able to almost freeze me when she was 25 levels below me."
"What?!" Mark was surprised.
He knew that the higher level disparity was between two people, the harder it was to affect the higher level. Yet, for him to still be almost frozen by someone 25 levels below him, tells one volumes of Shiro's strength.
Meanwhile, Shiro who was exiting the building was looked at with gazes of fear.
Some were holding their rears as they shivered feeling her gaze on them.
"Little Yin, do you think I should have fought a few more people?" Shiro asked.
Yin only chirped as she had seen too much today.
Licking her lips slightly, Shiro narrowed her eyes and looked for anyone unaffected.
This caused the adventurers to shiver in fear as they planned to get the best blacksmith in the city to make them an ass plate.
One strong enough to protect against anal penetration.
Shrugging slightly, she decided to let them off and head home first. She still had her gift of armour and outfit ready for Lyrica.
