Bab 14: Chapter 14. First Trial!

While they were waiting a handsome young man started approaching them, Yasenia looked and seeing the way he moved as proud as a peacock and his gentle on the outside, lecherous on the inside smile, she knew that she was about to meet one of the young masters her mother talked about.

She just ignored him and continued minding her own business. However, this guy didn't take the clue! "Hello, beautiful lady! This one has seen that the two of you don't have any group to stand with. Do you mind entering my group?"

Yasenia not knowing anything about the entrance exam took the chance and answered the half a head smaller man. "Group? Is it necessary? Isn't this an individual test? I thought that each of us was going to have a test and see if we pass."

The male of course would abuse the little information he had, to make the temptress in front of him become interested in him. "There will indeed be an individual test, but that is only the last three of the four! The first is going to be an obstacle course. We all are going to be thrown into different places but there are at most ten of them, so of course, there will be a lot of cultivators in each of them. Our group will help each other reach the end. Do you want to join?"

Yasenia was actually tempted! He didn't say anything that was disadvantageous for her, maybe she was mistaken about him being one of those typical young masters? The man continued "Of course, if you become my woman, I will make sure you pass the first test and make every one of my team members help you!"

Yasenia blinked, then she smiled at the man and opened her beautiful tempting lips "Scram" to brutally yet calmly reject the man then she took back her gaze and walked away with Oliver who has been watching the show from the start.

The man was surprised and then enraged! "You! Don't you know who am I!? I'm the son of one of the teachers here! Being my woman should-" Before he continued a tail tip slapped him hard sending him flying with a *Bang!*. Everyone was speechless at the speed of that tail-lash. And heard a lazy voice "I don't care"

In truth, the teacher has arrived a while ago and has been observing the kids in front of her. Yasenia stuck out like a sore thumb so she had a little more attention than the rest. When she saw the tail hitting strength her eyes couldn't help but shine in praise! 'With that kind of strength and flexibility her combat attack pattern should be extremely hard to predict! And it seems that she has an abnormally high level of control on her tail… Gah! I really want to take her as my disciple! But this year I can only take one disciple… Little girl, please don't let me down!'

Then seeing that the boy was getting up she stepped forward and coughed once with her energy gathering the attention of all the people there "*Cough*… Well, I see that everyone is gathered here, I'm Madelaine, one of the two headteachers of the Cultivation branch. I'm a darkness attributed cultivator."

"You already know that cultivation skills are divided into two big blocks, the Martial cultivation skills that use weapons or your own body and the Energy cultivation skills that transform your attributed energy into different techniques. You can even make combination skills although those are rare and difficult to find not to mention creating one. I'm specialized in Energy cultivation teaching… Although my martial cultivations techniques are quite good too." The last part was added because she sensed Yasenia losing interest! Truly Shameless!

"Now you will go to one of the spots that will light up, don't fight for them since there are enough for all of you. When you reach them and sit cross-legged, the formation below will activate and you will be transported to one of the 10 stages we prepared. You will have to cross to the other side within three days! You can do whatever in there" Then she put on a bloodthirsty smile and radiating a chilling aura she said "You can also try to kill each other; we won't stop you from trying"

Some people felt chills in their spines and changed their strategy. When all of them sat cross-legged and closed their eyes they felt something pulling them downwards and then they fell in their butts. Yasenia opened her eyes and looked around, not seeing Oliver she shrugged and then charged forward!

Seeing that there was quite the distance before any real obstacle she started analyzing the surroundings while running. She was in a meadow and the tall grass reached her waist. On the horizon there was a forest, she thought that she should aim there.

While advancing at a fast pace her sharp senses saw something being thrown at her so she used her hardened tail in the short-sword shape to deflect it. *Clang! * A metallic sound was created and she felt a little bit of pain on her tail! Her slit eyes thinned almost in a line as she focused on the thing she deflected. It was an apple-sized seed! 'Even the flowers attack in this meadow? I really can't take this lightly. Focus! Dodge when you can and only block if you can't doge!'

Before reaching the halfway mark to the forest she was receiving an attack per second so she was dodging easily, from time to time she received an attack to see if the strength increased. When she passed the halfway mark suddenly a lot of flowers started growing in the front! *Papapapa* with that sound constantly sounding a barrage of attacks went her way. She remembered the obstacle courses that she did when she was a child and smiled confidently. Instead of slowing down, she put energy in her legs and tail she shot forward like an arrow!

In the rooms where the teachers and some senior students were watching, a -blue-haired girl was paying attention to one person. Some teachers and alumni seeing the legendary Ice-Queen focusing on someone couldn't help but look over.

One senior brother commented "Although she is going fast when she reaches the halfway point she will have to slow down. She is too reckless."

Seeing some shoots being deflected with her tail one senior sister said "That tail sure is hard, I remember those shoots breaking my rank 2 sword when I passed that area"

They all focused when Yasenia reached halfway, seeing all those flowers appearing some smiled and said "What are you going to do now?" But soon they lost their smiles! Seeing the abrupt acceleration, they opened their eyes completely surprised "She is crazy! How will you-" But that person stopped speaking because she saw her dodging while advancing doing extreme movements!

Yasenia moved between the shots like a fish in the water without slowing down, then she started changing directions wildly while doing spins and using her tail to deflect the seeds. When she seemed about to fall, she slapped her tail on the ground propelling herself forward dodging even more shots and regaining her balance.

All of this without losing speed! Her movements connected in an extremely deadly yet beautiful dance where one misstep meant death! But the teachers and seniors seeing it were completely silent and entranced while their hearts jumped every time she lost balance, or when one shoot was deflected barely one cm away from her head with her agile tail!

The last barrage arrived making almost a wall before Yasenias eyes she calmly smiled and put more energy on her legs and tail and jumped at the same time she propelled herself with her tail making an extremely high jump and from the sky, like a falling blood spirit, she entered the forest without a scratch!

The people of the room released a breath that they didn't know they were holding! "She is absolutely crazy! What was that!?" A senior sister responded "Huh!? Who is crazy!? MY little junior sister is absolutely awesome, charming, and elegant! Can you do something like that? you can't! Let me see if you dare bully her, I will fight you!" The male disciple looked stupefied at that girl. Then all the people started commenting.

Meanwhile, Cecile had a small smile on her lips and thought 'I knew you were strong. Come to the violet class fast. I am waiting for you'

A tall man carrying a two-meter-long broadsword said "Hmmm, not bad, maybe I can make her my personal disciple. I see that she also uses a broadsword like me" Madelaine from the side looked at him and released her aura "What did you say muscle brain? You? Teaching? We might as well wait for mortals to fly on their own! I saw her first so she will be my disciple!"

Mason looked at her strangely "Didn't the elders say that this year you could only take one disciple and only if that person qualifies in the top 5?"

Madelaine answered "Those old geezers! Didn't I just destroy one of the arenas? Why did they punish me to only take a single disciple for 100 years huh!?" The man, named Mason added, "Yes, one arena, one of the only 10 arenas that can resist attacks from transcendent cultivators."

Madelaine looked away guiltily and changed the subject "Look she is going to fight her first beast!" Mason rolled his eyes let her be, then returned to see the other students he had his eyes on.

Meanwhile, inside the forest, Yasenia was advancing carefully. 'I've consumed one-fifth of my energy in that dash. It is almost noon so my energy regeneration is fast. I think I'm the first entering the forest so I shouldn't rush things.' Then she saw a rank 2 gorilla-like beast appearing in her way, it had 3 m of height.

She summoned her giant sword from her spatial ring and stopped, 'this kind of beast is strength type, it doesn't have an attribute, but their regeneration is very high. The abdomen is their weak point, but those arms of his will make me into a pancake before I can attack it. Then… the neck and eyes.' Yasenia changed her tail-tip into the 35cm short sword and advanced!

The gorilla jumped and punched down to Yasenia, with a side step she dodged and used her tail to slash the abdomen and gather his attention there. When the gorilla used one hand to protect it and attack with the other arm, Yasenia used her flexibility to dodge, changed her tail into a spearhead, and attacked one eye covering the tip in energy! The attack was successful but the gorilla used the arm that was protecting his abdomen and slapped it towards Yasenia.

Yasenia used the giant sword as a shield and jumped backward to cushion the punch. *Bang! * she was sent flying but she stabilized easily with two backflips. Then, she used her powerful legs to charge straight in! When she entered the attack range of the beast, she did a rapid change of direction to its blindside.

When the gorilla lost sight of his opponent, he turned his head to the side only to hear something slapping the ground. Then he saw a smiling face with a giant sword flashing towards its neck, after that the world spun! The last thing it saw was his own decapitated body.
