81: Rudeness will not be tolerated - Part 1

For the final portion of the exam, Liam was taken to an arena-like chamber, where he would have to fight a summoned construct. The construct was designed to mimic the attacks of a C-level boss, testing both defensive and offensive capabilities.

Liam squared his shoulders as the opponent materialized in front of him—a humanoid figure made of glowing blue energy, wielding a staff crackling with power.

"You may begin." 

The proctor announced.

The construct wasted no time, launching a barrage of energy bolts toward him.

Liam dodged smoothly, his body moving like water. He raised a barrier just in time to deflect an incoming blast, the impact sending a ripple through the air.

His movements were calculated, efficient. He countered with a sharp burst of wind magic, knocking the construct off balance before following up with a concentrated burst of mana that sent it crashing into the wall.
