Chapter 1464: Combat Test
"Okay, okay, not bad at all! Seventy percent correct! You've passed much better than most other newbies," he said. "Though its far from perfect score."
"Seventy percent correct? So that means seventy percent of the questions are correct?" I asked.
"Indeed," he nodded. "Usually you need to get over sixty percent to pass, so she did."
"Nice, congrats Ruby!" I said.
"Yeah! well done," Celeste said.
"Well done! Nicely done! Woohoo!" Celica clapped.
"It was a bit hard but thanks... Is it necessary to celebrate that much?" Ruby felt a bit embarrassed.
"Haha, well, with this the third and last test is left," said August. "And that one includes combat."
"Combat?" I asked.
"Yes, she will fight a monster we'll bring here," said August. "A weak F Rank Monster, but it is big and strong enough that it won't be too easy for any person. This was necessary too so no weaklings would try to get into the adventurer guild. The last of the three tests."
"I've never hunted a monster before..." said Ruby. "I'm a bit nervous..."
"Don't worry about it, your stats already say you'll win," I said. "Just spam your skills! Fry the monster to a crisp or something."
"Yeah!" Celica said. "Call upon the help of your spirits too!"
"You heard them, don't get too nervous," said Celeste with a nod.
"O-Okay!" nodded Ruby. "Bring it on, guild master!"
"Hahaha! Then come with us to the backyard."
August led us to the backyard of the building, a huge, walled area where a lot of adventurers was training, practicing abilities, and even having lunch.
Adventurer Guilds almost always have this backyard area where they can train or eat in peace without going to the tavern area.
"Alright so where's the monster?"
Ruby was standing in there holding her forging hammer we repaired for her, it was also a pretty good weapon by itself.
"Here."
August quickly opened his palm, as a mass of shadows surged, reaching the floor and then quickly taking a form, resembling a huge, two-meter-tall wolf made of darkness.
It had a single crimson eye on its forehead, and it was huge, groaning furiously the moment it saw Ruby.
"W-What is that?!" Ruby gasped, stepping back.
We were also surprised, we thought he would bring a dungeon monster?
"Is this a dungeon monster?" asked Celeste.
"Yes, or well, not really," August said. "Through the usage of Shadow Magic, I can capture a monster's shadows and turn them into my Shadow Minions. It's a special power of my tribe. The whole Curse Punching is something I discovered because I've never been good at magic alone."
"Wait what?! That's amazing!" I said. "Shadow Summoning..."
THUD!
With a loud thud, she felt her head hit the floor, it hurt a bit I suppose.
"Nggraaahh!"
She an annoyed and pained groan, Ruby conjured a huge flame and fired it at the wolf.
"Graaarr!"
The wolf growled, swinging its shadow claw against her hand and slashing her palm, blood splattering into the floor.
"Aah!"
Ruby cried in pain, seeing the wolf rushing towards her again, its jaws now aiming at her legs.
That damn shadow summon was smarter than I thought.
"Y-You shithead!"
Ruby quickly lost her temper, swinging her foot down and hitting the wolf in the head.
BAAAM!
"Gryaakhh!"
The wolf growled in pain before vomiting black blood, it pushed Ruby's leg away with its
strength before slashing her other leg.
"Ouch!"
She was tough, other people would have had their legs sliced apart.
With an angry face, Ruby kicked the wolf in the head.
"Fuck you!"
BAAM!
"Gryyeegh!"
As the wolf cried in agony, Ruby kept kicking it more and more.
And more...
"Die already! Die!"
"Grrrhhh...!"
As she saw the wolf trying to regenerate, she swung her hammer down with all her force.
And for a moment, we saw something, a glistening, divine aura.
FLUOSH!
The image of a giant holding a hammer and swinging it down alongside her!
CRAAASH!
