Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 315. Magic School Academy Entrance Examination: Area Level C bag. 7
Mark looked at the failed participant's expression with a flat face. The three lizardmen were the most potential in Kaito's eyes, but it turned out that they could be defeated easily without the need to bother.
“According to you, how many chances do we have to win from that tester?” ask Kaito to Virgo
“I'm not sure. If indeed victory is an absolute thing then chances are we have 1% to win”
“Only 1%? Not 10%?”
“Realisticah, Kaito. He hasn't even cast his magic yet. The one just now was nothing more than a warm-up for her”
“....” Kaito is silent
He already knows about it. After all, Lucas Xelhanien's voice had previously confirmed that before him it was Mark Vermillion whom Xenon had told him about.
‘How to defeat the strongest person in this eastern region?’ that was what Kaito had in mind right now
Mark looked at the participants who were silent without a word at all.
“You want to graduate or not? If you don't want to graduate, the door is right there. I never forbid you to leave here”
“Information only, last year I did not approve anyone. Maybe this year I will repeat the same thing
The participants see each other. Some of them start to look doubtful.
“Mark-sama..” one of the exam supervisors called Mark
They saw 5 out of 11 participants opting out of the room. They gave up before starting when they saw the strength of Mark who was considered to have started seriously by them.
“Switch once” mutters Virgo slowly
“I don't think it's true”
“What do you mean, Kaito? Obviously they might just win or at least be able to fit in the passing criteria!”
“I don't always think going without fighting it is cowardice. Sometimes, there are things to be saved besides the determination to win, namely self-esteem”
“Preference yourself? Those who give up without fighting are not worthy to be called people who have self-esteem!”
“If you think so, let's just say it's true. But I'm also a fighter and I've seen a lot of things over the years. They just haven't been able to go against their self-limits and they realize it”
“Cih! I thought you had a strong heart, Kaito! Turns out I misjudged you”
Virgo seems disappointed with Kaito's way of thinking, but it's not wrong. In the world of battle, whether with weapons or magic, there would be times when they would choose to give up.
Virgo's current way of thinking may be similar to Ryou, which is what Kaito sees now.
“Alright, the rest is now only 6 people. Anyone want to move forward? Or you want to go forward together too. Who knows you'll be recording the history of”
“What history?” Kaito was interested in that part
“History became the first group I graduated from. I've been a tester for 6 years and I've never approved anyone from my post. So maybe you could be the first. Great, right?”
Mark spoke in a relaxed tone while sitting across his legs. Seeing that, Kaito could only put on a faint smile.
‘He really did not lower his alert attitude. At first glance it does look relaxed, but those fiery red eyes are proof he can still activate his magic anytime’
Mark no longer cared about the others except for the two participants who entered the empty list.
‘As long as they can bring out their original abilities, I will probably be able to have a little fun’
‘We see how much they want to advance’
In the line of participants, three participants decided to move forward. They left a quiet participant alone. Kaito glanced at him.
‘Dia..’
The three players approached Mark.
“We want to fight against you, testers. Kindly guidance!”
Mark stood up without saying anything. They are in the arena.
“The rules have not changed. If there is anything you want to ask, please”
“Any weapon or magic doesn't matter, does it?”
Just wanting to start, Mark seemed to still want to continue the sentence again.
“Oh..”
“What's up, tester?”
“If magic harms your mentality, only I can wear it. Because dropping the opponent's mentality is the most fun thing for a strong side”
“.....” all fell silent listening to that sentence
It seems that Mark does have a personality that is difficult to explain.
Fight's starting.
“Testors, no grudges yes. Come, you! We attack at once!” call one of the participants
Unlike the previous fight, Mark was more relaxed as these three participants did not seem so strong.
Their movements were not as fast and good as the lizardman who failed in the first fight before. However, there were things that Mark did not like about the three of them.
‘They are really trying to attack without caring about the accuracy of the attack ya’ he said inwardly
It was true, the three participants only used a sword in hand and continued to physically attack. No magic has been used so far.
Moreover, they like to attack alternately even though the attack was successfully repelled and avoided by Mark. The examiner just kept dodging backwards and dodging.
It's like he's being directed to a point and Mark is aware of it.
‘I want to know, what are the plans of the three’ he said in his heart
Mark had no intention of repelling the three, until finally there was a magic circle stepped on by Mark..
“What is this? Magic circle? Since when do they use something like this?”
“Because of you, tester! Feel this! [Seal of Wickedness]”
The magic is activated and keeps Mark trapped in a strange seal. Mark's body seemed to be unable to escape from the seal and suddenly something came out.
A black shadow that tried to attack him in large numbers came out from the bottom of the seal.
“You guys think I'm a bad guy huh?” ask Mark to relax
Regardless of Mark's words, the creatures began to attack him again. Quickly the black baying that kept coming was trying to touch and make an attack.
“Tester, you will never be able to escape from that attack. The circle will place the target inside as an evil figure and all those black shadows will catch it”
“You will become one with them unless you admit defeat”
The participant was so confident in his own magic. In addition, the other two participants were no less confident either.
“Taste this, [Holy Spare]”
“[Ice Dagger]”
Mark's red eyes were wronged and the entire magic attack that led to him instantly disappeared.
“I think I can already see it” muttered Mark
From outside the arena, Kaito was already unconcerned about the fight.
“That tester won't expend his hard-earned energy. He has a lot of powerful magic and soon the three of them will lose”
Sure enough, not long after that Mark directly activated his magic.
[Magic Jammer]
Everything disappeared including the magic seal that tried to lock her up.
“Time is serious now, kids. Let's see you guys can make me warm up a little bit or make me throw you guys out”
