Angelina released the spears.Lucas charged directly through them.Explosions covered the battlefield.He emerged from the smoke with blood running down his cheek.Angelina barely avoided his strike.His attack tore through the ground behind her.She turned and unleashed a concentrated blast of holy energy at point-blank range.Lucas crossed his arms.The blast swallowed him.For a second, everyone thought he had been hit directly.Then a black wave burst through the light, and Lucas emerged.Angelina's eyes widened.He was already beside her, but she managed to raise a barrier.Lucas struck it.CRACK!The barrier fractured.Lucas immediately landed another strike.CRACK!Another.The barrier was seconds away from breaking.Angelina's expression hardened.She pushed both hands forward.A burst of holy energy exploded between them.Lucas was thrown backward.But Angelina didn't stop.She flew after him.Lucas steadied himself in midair and landed firmly.Their eyes met.They attacked a

Angelina stood quietly on the opposite side of the arena.She had long white hair that reached all the way to her waist, flowing gently behind her. Her green eyes were sharp and bright, standing out against her pale features.She was strikingly beautiful.But her appearance wasn't what had made her famous.Angelina was one of the strongest first-year angels at Blackthorn Academy.Her group had dominated most of its previous battles, and she had been one of the main reasons behind that success.She wasn't as famous as Lucas.But among the angels, her name carried plenty of weight.The two stood several meters apart.Neither spoke.Then the signal sounded.BOOM!Angelina moved first.Her wings exploded open as she shot into the air.Seeing her fly, Liam shook his head.Angels were the only race that gained the ability to fly at the Silver level. The others had to wait until the Gold level.Several golden circles appeared around Angelina.The crowd barely had time to react before dozens

The projection remained focused on the two third-year students.Peter.Jyra.Even Liam had heard their names before.They were among the most famous students of their respective races in the third year.Peter was an angel known for his exceptional control over holy magic, while Jyra was one of the most recognized witches in her year, famous for the complexity of her spells.Alex leaned forward.“Who are those two?”Before Liam could answer, a student sitting nearby spoke.“You don't know them?”Alex shook his head.The student laughed.“They're practically celebrities among the third years.”He pointed toward the projection.“Peter is one of the strongest angels in his year. Jyra is the same for the witches. They've been competing against each other for years.”Liam watched as the two exchanged attacks.“They seem pretty hostile.”The student chuckled.“Not really.”Alex looked at him.“What?”“They fight like that all the time.”He shrugged.“They're actually not that hostile toward

Someone could spend twenty minutes searching for a crystal, only to have it taken by another competitor moments later.Liam found himself smiling.“So that's why everyone keeps fighting.”“Exactly,” Elena said.“You can find one yourself, or you can take someone else's.”The projection shifted again.A famous third-year witch appeared.The crowd immediately became louder.The projection continued moving rapidly through the hunting grounds, flashing between familiar faces and famous students.Liam tried to follow it.Then suddenly—“There.”His eyes stopped.The projection had finally shown someone he recognized.Lily.She was standing in the middle of a rocky clearing.A crystal ball was held tightly in one hand.Liam smiled.“She found one.”But his expression changed almost immediately.Lily wasn't alone.Several werewolves surrounded her.They were all second-year students, and Liam could sense their cultivation even from the projection.They were at the Silver level.There were at

The final traces of the third attack disappeared.Then, the testing barriers around the groups began to fade one after another.The transparent walls dissolved into tiny particles of light before disappearing completely.The hall slowly filled with noise again.Students looked around at the other testing areas, trying to see how everyone else had performed.Some targets had been completely destroyed.Others had been cracked, burned, or crushed by the attacks.A few were still standing, but barely.Their surfaces were covered in cracks, and some were still smoking from the final impact.Only a small number of targets looked almost untouched.The atmosphere became noticeably heavier.Everyone knew what that meant.Not every group would continue.The instructors standing around the hall raised their hands, and hundreds of magical screens appeared above the testing areas.One after another, the assessments began."[GROUP ASSESSMENT]""[GROUP 004]""Target Survival: 41%""[ELIMINATED]"A d

As the attack came closer, the detection rune flashed.Almost immediately, the decoy activated, and its mana signature surged.The movement mechanism responded at almost the exact same moment.The decoy shifted sharply to the side.With that, the projectile suddenly changed direction and followed the decoy.Liam's eyes widened slightly.The attack had actually locked onto the decoy.A second later—BOOM!The projectile slammed into the decoy.A wave of magical energy spread across the testing barrier.Smoke briefly covered the area.Everyone at the table froze.Then the smoke began to clear.The decoy was damaged, but the target was untouched.Alex stared at it.Then he slowly raised one finger.“One.”Liam didn't smile.He adjusted his glasses.“Two more.”A senior student standing nearby looked at the device with a surprised expression.“At least it works.”Liam didn't take his eyes off the target.“So far.”The senior student glanced at him.“You're not celebrating?”Liam shook his
