Chapter 79: William Succeeded
A small smile graced his lips as he warmly smiled towards Aur. "Congratulations, Brother Aur." He raised his hands in a thumbs-up.
"I didn't know my friend had such a hidden talent."
Aur shook his head with a sheepish smile on his face. "Thank you for saying that, brother. However, I am nothing special compared to some."
"You are too humble." Leo laughed.
Anne also smiled with glee as she looked at Aur with sparkling eyes.
Aur just smiled sheepishly and stayed beside them with a glint flashing in his eyes as he looked at Anne with a mysterious smile.
Leo frowned when he saw this, however, something clicked in his head.
"I think I have got it," he thought with a smirk.
Aur just quietly observed Leo's expression silently with his crimson eyes flickering as he saw it.
"You green-haired brat are too inexperienced to trap me…" Aur internally sneered.
Just like that, the first display of their cultivation was over in moments after Aur's turn. Although he made some waves, it wasn't nearly enough to shake anyone's heart.
"The next round will begin shortly, so you guys can rest for now." Adriana said with a nonchalant expression as she waved at everyone with an arrogant expression as she got off the stage.
However, as she was getting out, suddenly she looked behind to see William behind her with a smile on his face.
"What do you want, brat?" Adriana said with a frown on her face.
"Umm… teacher Adriana, can I treat you to lunch?" William asked with a gleeful expression on his face.
Adriana looked deeply at William. "Does this brat really think I am that easy?"
"Do you know when the next round will begin?" Adriana asked with a smile on her face.
"No, teacher." William replied with a clueless expression.
"Good, it will begin in ten minutes then." Adriana replied as she went away without looking back.
"But…" William wanted to stop her, however, since she had already left, he couldn't.
As Adriana was leaving, she couldn't help but frown. "I feel my head is heavy as if something has…" She frowned the more she thought about it.
William just scratched his head helplessly.
Suddenly, he saw the pink-haired girl, Amelia, coldly walking. Seeing the girl, his golden eyes lit up as he followed instead with a smile on his face.
Angel, who was quietly watching all these, rolled her eyes.
…
Soon, a giant pillar stood on the stage as a loud "dong" rang in the surrounding.
Everyone hurriedly gathered together with a mixture of anticipation.
In the crowd of people, Aur was also there looking at the pillar with a curious glint. However, he was more focused on both William and Leo more than the actual stage.
Adriana coldly walked up to the stage and looked at everyone before announcing in a loud tone.
"This will be the last test, the strength test: attack these pillars either physically or with an aerial attack. However, attack with all your strength. The one who scores the highest will be chosen according to the one who has the more powerful attack. Understood?"
"Yes." Everyone said in unison as they looked at the pillar with a mixture of anticipation.
Aur looked at the pillar with a strange gaze as he thought about something. "If I attack physically, these will be troublesome."
"Now, William will come first." Adriana announced, and William came to the stage.
However, this was different this time as almost every female student cheered for William while praising him like a group of fangirls. However, the males just tsked to themselves.
William smiled seeing this as he rubbed his nose with a smile on his face.
"I didn't know I had fans myself." He rubbed his head.
"Don't get full of yourself, brat. They don't like you; they like the talent you have." Asmodeus' cold voice resounded in his head.
"Master, you shouldn't listen to these bad demons. You have gained these all from your strength. After all, your talent is something you are born with." Lily countered him as the teeming voice rang in William's head.
"You are right, Lily. The world is an unfair place to begin with." William's eyes shined with a glint.
"Tch." Asmodeus frowned as he looked at the book.
"If this goes on, I might forever be the servant of these brats. At this rate, if he could reach the supreme grade talent from the golden text…." His eyes widened when he thought about it.
"This might be a little troublesome considering these books." Asmodeus deeply looked at the book and then he looked outside the golden text.
The mental space of William was lit up with a bright light as there were two spells rotating mid-air.
One was a blue circle that crackled with a chilling aura as the space around it seemed to freeze as if the very air was freezing. The next one was strange as it was located at the center of his mental space. And its circle shined with half black and half silver light.
The half black and the half silver circle was connected to a golden string that was connected to the walls of the mental space.
As it emitted a half holy aura, the other aura was the aura of death. However, they were in a strange harmony with each other that balanced themselves out.
William had succeeded in mixing a holy magic spell with a black magic spell.
"Even I can't do that. I can't let these kids grow up more, or I will be in…" Asmodeus' eyes opened, revealing a deep darkness as if it was made of the void itself. The universe inside his body seemed to move as well.
