Bab 74: 74 Tests Part1
"You can start absorbing when the piller that the stone is on glow brightly. The objective is to absorb all the mana out the stone as fast as you can, without making mistakes." The city lord representative did a hand sign. A few seconds went pass and all the pillers glowed.
Everyone put there hand on the stone and started to absorb.
Ryan already know he will be one of the slowest because of his rank. He is the only rank1 novice left in the exam. Kids with higher ranks will naturally have better control over mana than him.
All he can do is hope they take into account of people ranks for each test. Ryan started absorbing at the same time as everyone else.
Ryan underestimated how hard it would be just finding the right path to take to Bring the mana out the stone. He already been at it for around 3 minutes and still looking for the exit out the stone.
Ryan was not the only one that struggling, Many other kids are too. It gets hard to control a stream of mana like a snake going through the maze. You got to make sure each part of the snake doesn't touch the walls.
After 5 minutes of struggling, Ryan changed up his strategy. It was getting to hard to keep controlling every little move of the stream of mana. The longer it get, the harder it was to control.
Ryan had chopped off a bit of mana and sent the rest of the mana back. Ryan wanted to use the small bit of mana to navigate through the maze in order to find the exit faster.
Moving 5 times faster than before, he was able to find the exit within 2 minutes. After finding the exit Ryan had to back track and leave little bits of mana at certain places to remember the path back. Ryan finally made it back to the source of the mana and started to absorb again.
Now knowing his way out the stone, he got done absorbing 7 minutes later.
Ryan looked around and noticed many other people already done and a couple still going.
Brian and Elizabeth, was done before Ryan too.
Ryan was not sure exactly how well he did, compared to everyone else. He knows he was one of the slowest but he not sure by how much. If he only just slightly slower than everyone than he still may obtain a decent amount of points compared to everyone.
In less than 5 minutes everyone finished up the test.
"You won't get to see your scores for the tests until the end, and at the end you will get a breakdown of your scores. Your grades will be public but not your exact scores." The city representative said as he did a few hand signs.
The the stone went back into the floor, while a glowing ring was formed around everyone. After a few seconds the ring that surrounded everyone stopped glowing and what was left was a metallic ring.
"The next test will be testing the control over your own mana. How fast can you formed your aura, how precise your control is, and few other things. When you get the scores at the end it will get explained in more details."
"The objective of this test is pretty simple. All you have to do is formed and control your aura to shoot through the center of the rings that will appear around you. When you successfully make it through the rings it will disappear. But you can only use your aura when the ring on the floor is glowing. So be prepared to stop using your aura as soon as you shoot through the rings. You will lose points for using your aura when the ring is not glowing. Here a practice run." The city representative did a hand sign and a ring was floating in the air around everyone.
"When the ring at your feet glow you can use your aura to shoot through the center of the ring without hitting the ring."
The ring on the floor glowed and everyone successfully shot there aura through the ring. The ring disappear immediately and the ring at people feet stop glowing.
"That is pretty much how it will go every time. The rings will get smaller and there will be more than one ring at a time at some point. If for some reason you take to long to shoot your aura through the ring, it will disappear. The test will last 5 minutes, so do the best you can. The test will start in 5 seconds.
The city lord did a hand sign and waited for the 5 seconds. Ryan felt like he have a chance to get a decent score at this test.
Even though people at higher ranks have an advantage but its not as big of an advantage like the last test.
Once the 5 seconds ended a ring floated in the air around everyone. There was some kids that accidentally started before the ring on the floor glowed and lost points.
Ryan waited patiently and as soon as the ring on the floor glowed he shot his aura through the ring. When the ring disappeared he deactivated his aura. Only a second went pass when the ring on the ground turned back off after the ring in the air had disappear. Ryan kept a mental note of that.
For the first 60 seconds it was just doing that repeatedly and most people found it easy. But after the minute mark a second ring appeared and the rings got slightly smaller.
Ryan and many others still found it easy to do. After the second minute people realized how hard it was going to get.
After 2 minutes pass for Ryan, instead of having 2 rings there was 4 now. The 4 rings was smaller than the last 2. Ryan like many other assumed if this pattern keeps on, at the 5 minute mark there will be 16 very small rings.
Ryan didn't miss any rings until the fourth minute. There was 8 rings and it was getting hard for everyone at this point. Only a few was able to keep up.
Ryan missed a ring or 2 every time. Trying to control 8 different areas of your aura is extremely difficult while still being accurate.
On the last 5 minutes no one managed to clear all 16 rings before they had disappeared. Ryan was at most successfully at making it through 7 rings before they had disappeared.
Ryan felt like he did okay. His score shouldn't be great or to bad compared to everyone.
