Chapter 134: Guild mbership Card (2)
"Okay, I'm fine. Can you understand what I'm saying, Vanessa, the cat? Please respond if you understand." Jacob shook his head to get rid of unnecessary thoughts. He just needed to finish his job.
"ow."
"Ok, ow, I assu you understand. Now, use this magic detection crystal and prove your magic energy level. Just channel a little of your magic energy into the crystal." Jacob explained it as if he were guiding a child.
"w." Vanessa caught the crystal slowly floating toward her with her two little claws, then placed it on the ground.
She channeled so of her magical energy into the crystal casually, but not before playing with the crystal with her little paws.
As predicted and proved, the transparent tar crystals changed in color to dark blue, the concrete proof of her being a Spirit Beast.
"Fabulous, now please return the crystal to , can you do that?" Jacob clapped his hands lightly as if praising a child because all the Intelligent Beasts he knew acted like kids.
Vanessa looked at the crystal on the ground, then looked at Jacob. She was considering what thod she should use to return this crystal to the instructor.
No need to bother thinking and acting complicated. The white cat just kicked the crystal at Jacob as if it was ordinary gravel.
"What!? You kicked this crystal... Thank God it's okay... It's expensive, you know. You think it's a ball or a ball of thread, grr..." Jacob frantically caught the crystal, then growled as if it was the language of anger in the world of cats.
Unfortunately, the cat didn't care about that. Vanessa just sat innocently in the middle of the particular circle.
She knew this particular circle was actually useful for assessing magic power to not be manipulated by third parties or outside factors. Because of this, the instructor and other people were not allowed to enter while testing soone within this circle.
"Don't think because you are a Spirit Beast and a cat, it will make lighten your test. The procedure is still a procedure. Prepare yourself. Eighteen orbs will strike from each side you least expect." Jacob warned, then 18 light brown orbs the size of an adult's fist flew around his body.
"w w..." Vanessa owed as she was ready. She stood on all fours with a stance, prepared to dodge and attack.
Instantly, 18 orbs shot in all directions around Vanessa and surrounded her for a mont. The balls suddenly attacked at a speed that was hard to avoid.
However, 'hard to avoid' was just an opinion, and it would be different for each individual. Vanessa easily dodged and clawed at the orb she avoided.
*scratch*
One orb fell like a atball that was cut into pieces by a knife. Vanessa used the wind elent to create a very sharp air blade to counterattack the evil orb that attacked her in a group.
One, two, three, four, and quickly eighteen orbs were scratched by the cute white cat who looked completely harmless and full of cuteness.
Jacob scratched his head. The cat only took eighteen seconds, and every orb was clawed at every second in a relaxed manner. Well, at least the cat showed a little effort, unlike the cold man earlier.
"Incredible, that's really great... Hey, I'm not done talking yet. Haahhh... Contracted beast always acts like a kid." Jacob could not finish his sentence of praise. The cat imdiately ran away to her master and stroked her body to her master's legs as if asking for glory.
Of course, Elysia knew what Vanessa wanted. She crouched down and carried the cat in her arms.
"It was great and accurate, dodge then counterattack. Your reflex play and your instinctive flair for surprise attacks were unquestionable. However, don't go scratching people with it, okay?" Elysia stroked the cat gently with subtle complints.
Vanessa nodded at her master because she didn't want to cause trouble. If she scratched people with magic like earlier, it was no longer scratching but cutting them. Then, she sought a comfortable position in her master's warm embrace.
So of the n who saw the cat's behavior towards the beautiful girl seed jealous while gulped their own saliva. Suddenly an absurd thought ca about 'how to turn into a cat and make a fortune by poking around in a beautiful girl's arms with a voluptuous body.'
"Lys, now it's your turn." Elysia reminded the girl who was looking at her.
"Um, let's finish this as soon as possible. I can't wait to finish our first quest. The special unexpected hidden quest." Sylvia nodded lightly and then stepped into the test area.
"Jacob, I'm ready. Give the crystal." Sylvia imdiately demanded without waiting for Jacob to offer. The latter gave the requested crystal without further ado.
Sylvia did the sa thing with her father. She manipulated the color that could be seen from the crystal as she cast magical energy there.
A handy little trick to deceive the detection thod, even though it could only be done by the Devil Saint and above with special training.
"All right, it's white, an Apprentice. Now please return the crystal, the normal way. Don't throw or kick. Return it like the Aisyle girl." Jacob asked for the return with additional explanations and an example.
Sylvia was not as bad as her father. She returned the crystal by approaching the instructor in the usual manner and returned to the center of the test area.
A girl with manners and politeness, not like her father, that was rude and cold. Thinking Aivlys understood, Jacob imdiately took out another 18 orbs and made them float around his body.
As of today, there were 36 Withrollite Stone Orb that had sacrificed themselves and crumbled to shreds. Jacob grimaced a little because a quarter of the stock of his testing equipnt was gone. He needed to go back to the mine to collect it again at dusk.
"The thod of attack is similar to your estimated power level. Please avoid or fight the orb that cos attacking. Are you ready?"
"I'm ready. Start whenever you want, Jacob." Sylvia nodded casually, everything was easy, and she already had a role model to avoid all attacks.
Jacob glanced at the 18 orbs hovering around his body for a mont. He hoped the balls were not destroyed and simply avoided like Aisyle girl earlier. Then, he sent 18 ball that was ready to fall to test the excited girl.
Periodic attacks with an attack pattern that wasn't too difficult but relatively fast. Similar to the one Jacob gave to Elysia. The excited girl happily smiled as she dodged nimbly here and there, then turned and moved lightly for three minutes.
Similar but not the sa as Elysia, Sylvia simply dodged all the incoming attacks until the ti was up. She returned to her friend's side with a smile. It was clear what she wanted.
"Wow, you dodge with agility and flexibility. Your body is flexible and elastic, Lys. Close combat will be easy for you to avoid, but don't take it lightly. Sotis, things co from the least you expect." Elysia softly smiled as she conveyed what Sylvia wanted to hear.
"Un, I'll rember that. Jacob, what are you doing there? Let's go straight to the feasibility test or sothing." Sylvia smiled happily, then she turned towards the silent instructor.
"Fine, all of you pass the strength test. For the feasibility test, co follow ." Jacob guided four new adventurers to the edge of the training ground, close to Martin's party.
There were rows of benches and tables. They headed there and sat as if they were going to take a written test.
"Take this paper and pen, read what is written in the questions, and answer based on your understanding and experience. Those are all questions about the decisions you have to make, depending on the circumstances that co. Don't cheat and trick my eyes, or you will fail."
Jacob sat down on one of the benches. Four new adventurers who were about to register sat directly opposite him. Only a long table separated them.
Sylvia glanced at Elysia's feasibility test paper. Still, she imdiately looked forward as if the last sentence was directed at her. She knew it.
"Mr. Jacob, how can Vanessa answer all these questions? She can't write with her little paws, can she?" Elysia raised her hand slightly.
"Err... You're right. Vanessa is your contracted beast, right? Well, she is your responsibility, and she can't possibly go against your will. The cat can pass this feasibility test." Jacob stroked his chin for a mont to decide. A brilliant and accurate idea ca to be a solution that was imdiately presented.
Vanessa was looking at the paper's writing and now feeling relieved. She imdiately got down from the table to her master's lap. She didn't need to read, answer, and think about the test that she didn't understand.
"En, she is my responsibility. I will be responsible for any actions she does, and it can be considered as my decision." Elysia nodded in understanding, then conveyed her confirmation.
Jacob had anticipated that answer. He nodded with a happy smile. Then, he asked three people consisting of two girls and a man, to imdiately fill out the paper from this test with their respective answers.
