"The ti elemt!" thought Jas suddly, in that split second of space, if he could use the ti elemt, he could find a way to escape from where he was.
Jas waited cautiously, perhaps the pressure and pain in his body was at a high level, but evtually, he would escape.
"SCREEEEECCCHH!!!"
"SQUAWKKK!!!"
"SCREEEEECCCHH!!!"
"SQUAWKKK!!!"
"SCREEEEECCCHH!!!"
"SQUAWKKK!!!"
One after another, the screams and impacts from the sound waves started again, and th silce descded on the area.
Jas took advantage of that momt.
He suddly used his ti elemt and simultaneously used his dark step ability to move forward. He quickly passed the vines in front of him, the thorny plants a him and everything in front of him, and moved forward without ev looking back.
The gap ahead was visible, Jas could get out of it.
The one-second gap was over, the one-second from the ti elemt was gone, the birds started screaming again wh they realised Jas had disappeared, and they quickly followed him:
"SCREEEEECCCHH!!!"
"SQUAWKKK!!!"
Jas was running, not ev looking back, wh he suddly rembered how to avoid danger altogether.
He had already used this item against the gorilla before, he couldn't believe he had be so stupid as to forget that he had three per day.
"Void Ring!" he thought furiously as the parrots behind him stopped calling and wh they looked a to see where Jas had disappeared to, they didn't realise that he was already out of the jungle.
Jas suddly let himself drop to the g, releasing the mana puddle he had be holding in his head and the aura that had veloped his body.
He was breathing heavily, his whole body drched in sweat.
[It was incredible, you've co a long way in using the ti elemt, Jas, well done.]
Jas smiled as he looked at the ssage Chronos had suddly st him, "Thank you my master." he said as he breathed in and out deeply.
After a few minutes of rest, he rembered that he only had two exams left and th stood up. He took out a piece of bread from his invtory and after eating it, he started on his way.
"To tell you the truth, I want to get Star Magic back to its best as soon as possible, the hunger, thirst and sleep have to go, it'll make less human but I don't care, look at ." Jas suddly said, and he was right, of them could rember Jas being this ssed up since he tered the tower, except for the part where he almost died in the ara.
With that, he tsed his body and took one last deep breath before tering the forest again.
"Puff...Let's go."
After uttering these words, he stepped into the forest.
As soon as he started moving through the forest, he ca across an owl, the owl was staring at him and Jas was trying to understand what this test was.
"Welco," the owl with feathers suddly said.
Jas shook his head wh he heard this and th said in surprise, 'Well, thank you.'
He couldn't understand what was going on, but he still had to pass the exam sohow.
"I am here to represt the intelligce test, as you can see, you have passed the first tests and you must pass the test I will give you before you reach my master." said the owl, and Jas said, "Well... I apologise for killing your frids."
The owl stood still for a few seconds after these words and looked into Jas' eyes, th said, "You are truly sorry...Hmph, interesting.".
Th the owl, which had flapped its wings, spoke again.
"I, Mr Owl, the represtative of intelligce, will prest you with three riddles, if you give the wrong answer to the riddle you will die, you will get one answer per riddle."
Jas was trapped in a transpart barrier before he could respond, he could have tried to escape but it would not have be a wise thing to try.
"All right, ask right away," Jas said the fact that he considered himself intelligt made everything easier.
"Cough-cough. So here's the first riddle. I am not alive, yet I grow. I do not have lungs, yet I need air. I have no mouth, yet I can drown. What am I?"
Jas shook his head as he heard the question, the riddle was incredibly easy.
"Fire. It was quite easy, are we going from easy to hard? You know, I am good with riddles, my mum would make go crazy with them all the ti." Jas said, the owl waited where it was as if surprised wh it heard these words and th coughed and moved on to the next question.
"Cough...Well that was pretty easy, I DID IT ON PURPOSE!" he said and continued:
"The person who makes it sells it. The person who buys it never uses it. The person who uses it, never knows they're using it. What is it?"
Jas sat down on the floor wh he heard the question, it seed that he had countered a riddle that was not easy.
"Hmm...He makes it and sells it, the one who buys it never uses it and the one who uses it never knows they're using it?" Jas suddly said he was thinking deeply.
Seeing that Jas was deep in thought, the owl puffed out its chest and th tried to say, "I told you I was asking you an easy riddle as a joke, and I---" but his words were interrupted by Jas:
"A coffin. It is a coffin."
Wh Jas asked the owl this answer, the owl's nerves seed to jump, as if it wanted to kill Jas.
"OK, this ti I'm going to ask one so difficult that you won't be able to answer it ev if you think about it for a hundred years." the owl said and th asked the question:
"You can see in water, but I never get wet. I can follow you everywhere, but I'm not alive. I vanish wh light leaves, but I always return. What am I?"
Jas started to laugh wh the owl asked this question. Those watching him from Olympus, those watching him from Asgard, and ev Nesis herself could not understand why he began to laugh, and at that very momt Jas' voice was heard:
"It's funny that you're asking one of the riddles my mum used to ask !" Jas said and th answered:
"A reflection. Are you sure you are the [riddler] or intelligce?"
