章 73: Chapter 73 : A Test ll
"I will be the one in charge of this test to measure your physical and magical abilities," said a middle-aged man with an aura of elegance and nobility radiating from him as he examined Arata and the others with narrowed eyes. "Each of you will fight a knight from the church, and you must do your best against him." "You don't need to defeat him."
"If I defeat my opponent, what will happen?" Arata asked curiously as he stared at the knights behind the middle-aged man.
"..." - The middle-aged man stared at Arata silently and was examining him from head to toe as he admired his courage to say something like that out loud since the other examinees did not even dare to breathe out loud in his presence.
In contrast to the middle-aged man, the knights behind him were frowning as they felt angry at Arata, who was looking down upon them as they were veteran knights who had gone through many monster subjugation campaigns.
Their reaction certainly did not escape the eyes of Arata and the middle-aged man, but they did not care and ignored them as they were nothing in the eyes of the two.
"If you can do this, you will be officially knighted, and you will obtain the rank of the knight you defeated, and you will receive a special reward from me if you can do this," the middle-aged man said with a faint smile.
"I see" - Arata nodded and examined the knights behind the middle-aged man seriously before his gaze stopped on one of them - "Then I want to fight this person."
Arata did not care about the other knights and chose the strongest person among them, as he had the greatest magical power, in addition to his attitude and look indicating his great strength.
"Interesting." The middle-aged man murmured and nodded in satisfaction. He felt that Arata was a brave and strong-willed child. He chose the strongest person in the place after him to fight him. He even felt that Arata would challenge him if he stood among the knights. "Usually." The fight will be random, but I will make an exception this time and allow you to fight him."
"..." - Arata nodded and did not say anything as he did not really care who he was fighting but just wanted to test the strength of the people in this world.
"Then the first fight will be between Examiner No. 12 and the Knight of Rank 1254," the middle-aged man said as he motioned for the others to move away from the place to make room for the fighters.
Upon hearing their numbers, Arata and the knight moved forward to the middle and stopped in front of each other, 5 meters away.
"Come on Greed," Aratao whispered. A dark black sword with a curved edge and a cross-shaped handle with some blue color materialized in his hand, and it seemed to devour the light as soon as it appeared.
"..." - Everyone stared at the sword in Arata's hand in shock as it was clearly an extremely powerful sword and they didn't even notice that they were trembling while looking at Greed.
The first to come out of the daze was the middle-aged man and he felt a cold sweat run down his spine as he felt his soul being dragged away by a hungry monster.
Applause*

"Is everyone ready?" - The middle-aged man said and used mind control magic to attract everyone's attention or their souls would be taken away by Greed if they continued to stare for a longer time.
"Any time," the knight said with a confident smile and pulled out his sword. There was undisguised greed in his look at Greed.
"..." - Arata did not say anything and simply nodded, but there was an unhidden frown on his face as he saw the knight's look at Greed.
"Let the fighting begin!!" The middle-aged man exclaimed and lightly jumped back to stand next to the other spectators.
As soon as the starting signal sounded, Arata's sword was enveloped in a black flame, while the knight's sword was enveloped in a white aura that gave off a sacred and sharp feeling.
"I will make you regret not choosing someone else," the knight said with undisguised anger as he felt insulted by a mere examiner saying that he would defeat him.
To the knight, Arata was just a stupid brat who didn't know his place, which is why he was going to play with him for a while before killing him to see the despair and remorse on his face.
Thinking of this, the knight couldn't help but smile evilly and couldn't wait to see Arata's face contort in pain and remorse.
"..." - Arata could certainly see the dark smile on the knight's face, in addition to being able to feel the dark feelings expressed by the knight, as he, as a devil, was sensitive to feelings, especially dark ones.
But even knowing this, Arata remained indifferent because his battle with the knight was something irrelevant.
The knight quickly rushed towards Arata and attacked him with a simple uppercut without any flashy movements, but he was pressuring Arata using his aura to prevent him from moving.
Arata knew that the knight was trying to finish the fight with one clean strike, but he did not care, as this was to his advantage.
"Limit Breaker" - Arata muttered and disappeared from his place in an instant as he did not intend to make the fight long and decided to end it with one move as well.
"..." - The knight was astonished by the turn of events as he felt a great force bursting from Arata before he disappeared so quickly that his eyes could not follow it.
It was not only the knight who was surprised by the course of events, as everyone was astonished by Arata's disappearance.
But unlike the others who couldn't see Arata, the middle-aged man was looking at Arata as he could follow his movements, which shocked him as he could sense that Arata was using a skill to temporarily increase his strength.
'I didn't expect the dempier child to have two such unique skills' - The middle-aged man was very surprised and understood why Luminous was paying attention to this child as he had great potential and might become a major figure in the church in the future and his strength might rival Hinata Sakaguchi.
