A large amount of mana was building up in both bodies, lightning began to shoot out of Noah's body and Ria's muscles tensed to the extreme as a red aura surrounded her.
Humm!
Their figures disappeared and the surrounding trees were cut to pieces.
Clank, Clank, Clank, Clank, Clank,
At a speed that the human eye cannot follow, they moved through the forest as they clashed their swords, they were so focused on their fight that they did not notice their surroundings.
[Mana Tiger eliminated 20 points]
[Goblin eliminated 15 points]
[Mana Wolf eliminated 10 points]
[Demonic Tree eliminated 50 points]
[Student eliminated 300 points]
[Student eliminated 1000 points]
[Student eliminated 500 points]
Anything, whether it was a monster or a student who was unlucky enough to find himself in the crossfire, was mercilessly torn apart.
The bodies of both were already reaching their limit and they knew it.
Clank!
They separated with a loud bang and gathered all their forces for a final attack.
smoke
Noah began to move around Ria taking advantage of the trees to propel himself and gain more speed, Ria sheathed both her swords and moved into position gathering all her remaining mana.
When they finished their preparations, Noah with his momentum headed towards Ria faster than a bullet, and she as if waiting for him unsheathed her swords.
CLANK
When their swords clashed, all the trees around them were shattered by the force of the attack and a large cloud of dirt rose up.
The dust cloud gradually dispersed to reveal the last one standing.
The result?
"Ha...ha...ha...ha...ha."
"Hahaha."
A tie

""...""
The teachers in the room couldn't articulate any words, just stared at the two students through the screen in silence.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha."
That was until one man's laughter broke the silence.
"Interesting! Very interesting, I'm looking forward to training these students."
"Don't you know any other way to talk besides yelling? I'm starting to get a headache. But you're right, this generation looks much more promising than previous ones."
On the various screens in the room, you could see a green-haired elf talking to a small spirit, a red-haired girl next to a giant octopus with a huge hole in its head, a dryad trapping various monsters with her roots, a mermaid swimming at high speed through a river, a boy with a spear resting on a pile of corpses, and a white-haired girl with her surroundings completely frozen.

In a place full of shattered trees, there were two people lying side by side, seemingly unable to move.
"Hey."
"..."
"Hey."
",,,"
"Hey."
"Sigh ~ What?"
"Can I ask you for the favor now?"
"What are you talking about, I was going to do you a favor if you managed to defeat me."
"But technically I did defeat you didn't I?"
"..."
"And while we were fighting we took out a lot of monsters and students so you already got the points you wanted. Then I see it's only fair that you grant me a favor."
"Sigh~ Alright what do you want?"
"Pay me lunch for 2 months."
Hearing my request, Ria was silent for a few seconds before speaking again.
"Are you serious?"
"What, it's too hard to fulfill?"
"It's not a very simple request and that's the problem, you know my grandfather owns one of the most famous guilds right. You can ask me for a skill manual, permission to enter dungeons, artifacts, money and you're just asking me to pay for your lunch for 2 months?"
"Yes."
"Sigh~"
"Is it me or are you sighing too much?"
"Whose fault do you think it is?"
"My name is Noah by the way"
"I don't care"
"Well I'm going to be with you for 2 months so I thought telling you my name would be helpful."
"...Ria, Ria Kilmester."
"Nice to meet you"
"Not for me"
While we were talking a voice was heard throughout the forest.
-The test is over, all the students who are still in the forest will be teleported to the medical room for treatment, the results of the test will be shown within 2 days.
When the announcement ended, my body started to glow blue and I lost consciousness.
.
.
"Mmm, not bad."
When I regained consciousness I was in some sort of medical room, now lying on a bed that was quite comfortable.
Firmness 10/10
Softness 9/10
Space 6/10
When I was about to fall asleep again I heard a woman's voice.
"Oh~ are you awake already?"
When I looked to where the voice came from, I saw a woman with dark purple hair and eyes wearing a white doctor's coat, she had a kind smile in her eyes but I don't know why I felt her eyes had a dangerous gleam in them.
Na, it must be my imagination
"Yes."
"Ok, could you please sit down?"
"Emm, I'm sorry but"
"But?"
"I can't move."
The side effect of using the lightning impulse is that of not being able to move for half a day after using it, when I master it better maybe the time will be reduced, but at the moment it's a pretty severe penalty
"A I see, don't worry about it."
The woman placed her hand on my head and a green glow began to cover my body, I felt my muscles relax, my torn tissues heal and the fatigue in my body was completely removed.
Healing magic.
In a rare type of magic to see, because not everyone can learn it as it requires very precise mana control to heal another person.
"Now can you move?"
I raised my arm and then sat up, the healing ability was very fast and efficient, not everyone has this ability.
"Thank you very much."
"No problem."
Pat
She put her hand on my head as she smiled, but....
Pat, Pat, Pat, Pat, Pat, Pat,
She stroked my head for a long, LONG time and then started pinching my cheeks.
"Um, what are you doing?"
"A medical test."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"...Okay."
I just let her do what she wanted, and anyway I knew she wouldn't get anywhere even if she tried to argue, after all that was her personality in the novel.
Mirilda was a character who loved cute things, she was always after the elf princess to pet her or dress her up like a doll.
After another 20 minutes of charisias, she left saying she had to attend to other patients, I lay down and continued sleeping all day.
Miss Mirilda brought me lunch herself, and even though there were staff to take care of that, she did it just to have an excuse to pet me for at least 1 hour.
Two days went by and the test results came back.
