"Who else wants to try and fail?!"
Yarko's voice seemed disdainful and even seemed to challenge those who wanted to enter the Heavenly Army. So that they understand that this simple test is not something they take lightly.
Yarko was sure, with the abilities of his best friend, Gonan, a mage level 8 and among the highest in the entire continent. Only a handful of people will pass this stage one test.
All the participants lined up now as if they didn't want to get ahead of anyone but at the same time wanted to see how the others came first and think of the best way to make a scratch on the steel box.
The queues are long, and the first stage of the exam is very fast. Up to 1000 people who have advanced, no one has passed. Is this really a level one exam? In fact, until now no one has graduated and no one has given a scratch at all to the steel box.
Some of their weapons even shattered before touching the steel box.
Yarko shook his head several times, he felt that the current generation of white warriors was far from what he expected. How can they face the dark forces if the test is like this, and only stage one out of a thousand people has not passed?
Until a man with a short stick rose for his turn. He greeted Yarko with both hands. Yarko also noticed the young man, who was Astro. A young man who is much talked about because of his magical abilities, he is from Orpris and one of Yonan's students.
Even so, Array magic remained objective on anyone to be able to break through those defenses. Astro is also reported to have received many missions to explore and defend the oppressed at Yonan's orders.
Astro himself reached the 7th mage level at a very young age.
Astro was getting ready and he tucked his short magic wand and measured approximately centimeters in the hook on his right waist.
This means Astro doesn't want to use the wand. The wand must be a fine artifact, but why wouldn't he want to use it.
Astro stepped back a little and readied his stance. He opened both of his arms forward, and there was a light emitting from his right and left hands. However, the two rays are different colors, such as red and blue.
Right red and left blue, his hands form a crystal ball in each hand. The two balls of light followed his twisted hands and prepared an attack on the steel box.
Astro pulled the two balls of light to the left and lifted them up, the two balls came together and rotated alternately because his hands were also joined. As the red and blue balls of light finally collided into one. Thus, a sword of light came out that was created from the merging of the balls of light.
The sword gleamed as if there was a rainbow glow around the sword of light. All eyes were shocked, at a young age like Astro, he was able to form weapons from energy.
Few people on the entire continent could do that. Formation of weapons from energy. Although there are also people who can but can't last long if they can't maintain their energy form because of the unstable energy that is combined.
However, it seems that Astro has trained well so that his form and energy seem stable. Astro held the sword of light with both hands and lifted it up. A second later he leaped forward along with a burst of energy created by the sword swinging and hitting the steel box.
A clash of energies occurred, the Array seemed to resist and became a shield from Astro's attacks. The energy of attack and repulsion had clashed with each other. The energy collision happened, apart from Astro retaining the power of his energy sword, he was also suppressing his Array so that he could touch the steel box.
Astro was sweating quite a bit, in front of a tier 8 Array and he pushed with all his might to make a gap in the Array.
"Hiaaatttt!"
Astro continued to press with his strength.
Wow!
The energy sword that Astro created shattered into pieces. The energy spark happened again for the umpteenth time. Everyone can now see, that Astro sits down and looks tired because he uses quite a lot of energy.
Astro started to get up from his seat and catch his breath to restore his energy. Yarko smiled at Astro and smiled.
Sure enough, Astro passed. There is a scratch like a sword slash created from one side that was attacked by Astro. Even though it's small, it's a scratch too.
"Astro Passed! Who else wants to graduate, please do your best!"
Yarko's shout again made several participants who had not tried it become more exciting. Of course, there is still a chance, they also feel inspired by Astro's tests.
Concentrate energy to one point and use all abilities. That's what they learned from Astro's graduation.
Astro also seemed happy because he was able to pass. He had been warned by his Master, that even though he made the Array, he wanted Astro to pass his own test. If you don't pass then Yonan will not help his student anything.
For Yonan, the Heavenly Troops are those who can truly carry out this mandate for the sake of peace in the martial world.
Astro smiled, he was sure that his Master would not be disappointed and happy to see him able to pass and break the level 8 Array made by his teacher.
One, two, the Sky Army's lineup of participants continued to try. However, there were still many who failed even though they had exerted their abilities. However, of the 10 people who took the exam, there was one person who passed. Now, more and more of the visible can pass and make a scratch on the steel box.
There was also the one wielding a spear and he was from the Phosphite continent. Even though he was known as a warrior, Arion who wielded a spear was able to escape well and break through a tier 8 Array with all his strength.
Arion is a spear wielder, with long, flowing hair. He previously retreated to spin his spear, the spear was inherited from his parents. He swiveled the spear with both hands. As the energy spread out, he instantly focused it on a single point.
Simultaneously, the energy on the spearhead converged and coincided with directly piercing the steel of the box. The energy concentrated and penetrated the defense of the Tier 8 Array and the resulting stroke was a stab from the tip of the spear into the city's steel.
Arion was declared passed.
There have been hundreds more who have passed, but the test has also been followed by 5 thousand participants and most of them of course failed.
They carry the good name of each martial arts school where they practice, and they also carry great expectations from the families and continents they represent. All gave their best to be able to pass to become a member of the Sky Army.
But still, this army was aimed at establishing peace across the continent. So of course, those who pass are not random people, of course.
This will be a new history for the white martial world. Where they will make the Sky Troops as the front troops and also be able to determine victory against the dark forces.
