'What is that?' the acid mage muttered, slowly retreating.

The lady with the axe wore the same expression.

Both of them could feel the ominous presence radiating from Art’s body.

Art flexed his hands, the black miasma curling around him in heavy waves. This was the first time he had released it in such quantity, and the effects were undeniable.

It granted him yet another buff, layered atop his stat increase. Unlike before, the miasma no longer felt suffocating—instead, it was strangely pleasing, almost comforting, as if it were soothing his nerves.

At the same time, he realized its other effect—the illusions around him were weakening. The twisting scenery slowed, and the multiplying clones became fewer. Still bothersome, but far more manageable.

Art stretched out his arm, mana beginning to quickly and steadily gather around him. It was obvious he was about to unleash something powerful.

    "Make sure your ribbons are exposed. The total points grading will be done in half a minute," the man announced.Exactly thirty seconds later, another light flared from the magic circle. This time, it spread outward in a blinding flash before fading just as quickly.When the glow subsided, fresh numbers appeared beside each contestant’s performance ranking."These new numbers are the total amount of points you’ve gathered. As per the rules, only those with over 300 total points will move on to the next test."Murmurs rippled through the crowd. Everyone looked at their scores with a mixture of relief, frustration, or resignation. Most already knew what to expect, but seeing the numbers made it real."I guess this is where I drop out," a girl muttered, her voice tinged with disappointment."To hell with this!" a boy snapped, throwing his yellow ribbon to the dirt. "If I had gotten a red—or even a blue ribbon—I wouldn’t be in this shifty situation!"His score was 260. Such a shame..."Co

    The illusions hit like a storm, twisting the world into something unrecognizable. Art’s vision blurred—trees stretched, the ground rippled like water, and shadows crawled, morphing into figures that weren’t there. The illusionist’s single eye flared brighter as he poured far more mana into this than before. Compared to this, the previous illusion was more like a haze. Space. Shape and distance around him all began losing value. ‘Damn it… this is bad.’ Art frowned, nearly tripping despite standing still. This was his first time facing something like this, and he wasn’t sure what to do. ‘GET HIM!’ the illusionist’s voice thundered, echoing from every direction. The woman and the green-armed mage lunged. In the swirl of false images, their bodies multiplied, layered over phantoms until the real ones were nearly impossible to pin down. Art backpedaled, forcing earth to rise. A wall burst up in front of him, but the woman’s axe carved straight through, the blade howling past his mas

    'W-When did he get in front of me? Wasn’t it just a rock? Did he use transformation magic to lower my guard?' His mind raced, golden eyes staring into his. But then, out of the corner of his vision, he caught something strange—A rock suspended mid-air where the masked figure had stood.His pupils shrank.'No! He switched places with it. Fuck!'Those were his last thoughts before a fist cloaked in mana aura crashed into the orbital region of his face.The impact was brutal. His body lifted from the ground, hurled like a ragdoll. He slammed through trees, bounced off rocks, and tore through brush, his body breaking everything in his path until he finally stopped—hundreds of meters away.Art lowered his fist, flexing his knuckles with a detached expression. He had only put around sixty percent of his strength into that blow, careful not to kill the opponent outright.Was I too lenient? That won’t be enough to kill him. Contestants here are very tough. Maybe I should’ve punched harder.'

    “We’re almost there, just a bit farther,” Rena thought, her fist tightening as they neared the light beam.By some miracle, no one had attacked them yet.Rena felt skeptical about the deal she’d made with him. What use was it if they weren’t going to be ambushed anyway?'Maybe I should’ve been braver and come alone,' she thought. Part of her almost hoped for an attack.Art’s thoughts, meanwhile, were different.Quite a few people are waiting to ambush others. 'The red ribbons aren’t enough,' he mused. He’d sensed several presences since they’d neared the beam, but none had attacked.'It’s probably the mask. Is it really that intimidating?' He barely felt its effects now, forgetting how much it had initially unnerved him.He glanced at Rena, walking close behind. 'She made a smart choice. Her clothing wouldn’t have saved her from them all.'Should I ignore him after this? Rena wondered. He seems dangerous. I’ll wait and s—“Wait!” Art voiced out, startling her.She glanced around urgen

    Viera's boots crunched softly over the leaf-strewn path, the beam of light clearly visible ahead. This part of the forest was relatively quiet compared to others. She kept her pace steady, her blood-red hair swaying with each step, with her senses sharp as ever.A red ribbon was tied to each of her wrists.She had a few tears on her clothes, which came as a result of fighting 3 C-rank beasts. It was more of a one-sided fight, but she didn’t come out unscathed. Or, rather, her clothes, as there wasn't a single bruise or blood stain on her skin.On her shoulder was the number '4' displayed. Being the daughter of the current family head immediately translates to superior genes and attribute affinity. So among her peers, she was a class above. Already able to easily handle C-rank beasts at just nineteen. She stared at the beam of light, only about five minutes away at her current pace.It seemed that this part of the test was already over for her, but then all of a sudden, she stopped
