An Extra's POV

Chapter 793  Practical Session [Pt 2]

His opponent, Moru\'cho, had been quite impressive—especially with the blue orbs and clones that he employed as his main Skills.

Unfortunately for him, he was simply outclassed.

The fight didn\'t last very long. Rey simply relied on a barrier to protect himself from Moru\'cho\'s attacks, while pretending to make a long chant for the powerful flame Spell that he used to decidedly end the match.

Frankly, the battle was a bit stale.

\'On the plus side, I now have access to a Clone Skill. That\'s good, but… ah, [Sacrifice] won\'t let me copy it, since I already sacrificed it in my fight with Dagon. Unless…\'

Rey checked his [Doppel], and much to his pleasant surprise… the [Doppelganger] Skill was waiting for him there.

\'How is this possible? Hold on… yeah, I guess it makes sense.\' He itched his chin, completely disconnected from the reality around him, and the voices that cheered his victory.

His mind was solely fixated on this Skill.

\'Snow\'s [Duplicate] was an Exclusive Skill, and since she was a Beast Familiar, that Skill has no ties with this world… right? So, even if it was sacrificed, I should still be able to copy any clone-based Skill from this world, right?\'

And that was the sole reason behind his ability to use [Doppelganger].

\'Looks like this is a limited form of [Duplicate], though. My clones can only respond to one instruction at a time, and we can\'t be too far apart, or they\'ll disappear.\'

The plus side of the whole thing was that the clones had the same abilities as him, just on a ten percent scale. At the very least, though, they didn\'t make him any weaker if he used them.

\'My [Perfect Divine Growth] graduated it to S-Tier, but that only increases the number of clones I can make. It seems the distance and intelligence limitations still exist… though I guess they can move a bit further from me now.\'

Finally, their abilities were still capped at 10 Percent of his own power—though now that he could make a total of ten clones, that meant he could get a hundred percent of his power without compromising his own strength.

\'That\'s pretty neat.\' He smiled to himself.

As for the Practical Session, things were also going pretty well.

So far, his worries hadn\'t played out the way he feared they would. His teammates, despite their opposing personalities, got along quite well in their team activities.

They had already participated in Team Matches, Hide and Seek, and Object Search together, and the two of them were rather cooperative. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Chi\'go seemed like he would cause the most trouble, but after the Team Match, he was pretty docile.

\'Maybe it\'s because I practically carried the match. Dragons have a thing for strength, so I figured they\'d listen to me if I showed them how strong I was…\'

That wasn\'t the only reason he one-shotted the enemy, though.

\'I wanted to end the fight quickly so they wouldn\'t mess up and cost me points. Guess it was just killing two birds with one stone.\'

Ultimately, he got the respect of his teammates, and he was also able to complete the Practical Session without much casualty.

For the second and third parts of the Session, Isra\'il used a core function of the Hall to alter its landscape and transform its surroundings into a jungle-like setting.

That way, the Hide And Seek and Object Search became astronomically more complex than it would have been if they were merely standing in plain rooms.

Rey and his teammates stuck together during the Hide and Seek round, and since none of the other two had any camouflage Skills, he made sure to utilize a Spell that shielded them from perception, while also telling them to keep their senses peeled for anyone.

They managed to catch a team using this tactic, but were ultimately caught by Lucielle\'s team, who chose to hide in plain sight—the air—while getting a wide view of the entire jungle to capture their prey.

They managed to catch two teams—Rey\'s included.

As for the Object Search, Rey and his teammates were also unsuited for that, so they simply trailed another team—hoping to snag one of the designated Objects if those members ever found it.

Fortunately, they were able to get two of the ten objects before time ran out.

Once those parts were concluded, the Instructor returned the hall\'s settings to its previous state, and after they took a little break, began the fourth round.

—Individual Matches.

Rey was the first in his team to fight, so he now had to leave the center stage and allow the rest of his teammates to take over.

Unlike before, when he could lead them or drop vague hints to guide them, this was something they had to do on their own. If he hadn\'t gone through everything he did with his teammates, he would have even had doubts regarding their competence.

Rey wasn\'t too worried, though.

Sure, these two sucked at Hide and Seek as well as Object Search… but when it came to Combat, there was no cause for concern.

He simply had to sit back and enjoy the matches.

They didn\'t disappoint.

Lu\'ffa had a Skill that could turn his body, or anything around him to rubber, which made any fight he was in rather interesting.

He also had immense resistance to physical attacks as a bonus.

From stretching, to increasing his body\'s mass, to simply tanking enemy attacks like it was nothing… he was a monster in every sense of the word.

However, the true beast was Chi\'go.

Yes, he had a Skill to elevate his physical ability and also to increase his level of Mana and Sensory Awareness. However, what made him exceptional was his single A-Tier Skill, [IRON-Y]

—The ability to imbue any property or attribute to any iron object he touched.

This was the true reason behind his piercing, and the reason he was regarded as one of the big three in the whole class.

As long as he had iron on his side, he was invincible.
