Chapter 195: The Emerging New Generation
As Conas expected, the game went very quickly and the round was over in no time.
More than 20 competition tables were working at the same time, with 4 people on stage each time. The examination efficiency was extremely fast. In less than half an hour, a quarter of the children had completed the examination and were then taken to the promotion area and the resurrection area respectively.
Kira, Conas, Gulan, and Haiberian sat in the stands, chatting with each other intermittently, pointing and commenting on the children taking the exams below, saying "this kid is good" or "that kid is not good", and time passed by little by little.
The talents of this group of children are indeed good. Kira noticed that many of them used very unique magic, and some of them could even fight three at once and easily eliminated their opponents.
"Hmm? This girl..."
Kira looked at a little red-haired girl with two ponytails. The girl looked familiar, about 7 or 8 years old, but her wind magic was already quite impressive. In terms of talent alone, she should be about the same as Rufus.
Noticing Kira's gaze, Conas said, "That little girl...seems to have been brought by Speaker Gulan, right?"
Kira then looked at Gulan, only to see him nod and say, "Yes! Her name is Shelia, and she graduated from the Junior Magic Academy in just one year last year. She is an absolute genius!"
The conversation between the three attracted the attention of Haiberian, and he also stared at Shelia for a long time: "As rumored, the magic power is very special. Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen this kind of magic."
"Because she was an excellent student, I gave her a book on wind magic that I had kept for a long time as a souvenir," Gulan said as he recalled, "To my surprise, she was able to learn this kind of magic by herself. It's incredible."
"Hehehe... maybe this is fate!" After hearing Gulan's words, Conas seemed to have some special feelings and smiled, "You have obtained the magic book for a long time but still have nothing to show for it, but she was able to discover the secret in it in one go. In addition to factors such as talent and compatibility, luck is also very important! What do you think, little Kira?"
"Hmm... different times have different languages, and the way magic is recorded is also different. Most wizards now learn magic from magic books copied by later generations," Kira thought for a moment, and then continued, "To be able to comprehend and learn the Heaven's Destroying God Magic from ancient books, it can only be said that her aptitude, compatibility, and luck are much higher than ordinary people!"
"Ah? So little Kira has seen this kind of magic before?" Conas looked at Kira in surprise, obviously not expecting him to be able to recognize the god-killing magic.
"Yes, when I was on a mission in the Zonia Mountains before, I met a user of the Ice Destroying Magic. She was also a little girl, but she was a little older than this Shelia ." Kira looked at Shelia who was treating people after the battle, and thought of Winter who was traveling, and added, "She should also be more...outgoing in character."
Hearing Kira's words, the other two also looked over.
They knew that Fairy Tail had two Dragon Slayers, so it was normal for them to know Dragon Slayer Magic, but they didn't expect to have seen God Slayer Magic as well. Should they say that this is truly worthy of being called "Fairy Tail"?
Haiberian whispered, "Zonia? I've heard rumors of demons there before..."
"Demon?" Conas curled her lips and laughed, "The most famous legend about that place is the legend of the Black and White Goddess, right?"
"The Black and White Goddess... is indeed one of the main reasons why Zonia is so famous. It is because we don't know whether the legend is true or not."
Hearing this, Kira interrupted and said, "I know a thing or two about this story..."
"Oh? Tell me about it!"
Conas's eyes were like shooting stars, and her face was full of curiosity. Gulan and Haiberion also looked at Kira, waiting for him to speak.
Kira: “…”
I didn't expect you two grown men could be so gossipy...
So Kira recounted the story of the Black and White Goddesses that he had heard in Zonia. Of course, he did not mention some irrelevant things, such as the demon he brought back and sold to Mira, and his escape from the black dragon.
"Finally, Winter received the soul of the Black and White Goddess, and also learned the Ice God-killing Magic."
After finishing the story, Kira expressed his own opinion: "The Black and White Goddess died a long time ago, and her soul has been sleeping in Zonya for too long. I don't think she can stay for long. Maybe she has dissipated now - the Ice God-killing Magic may have been passed down."
After listening to Kira's story, the three had different reactions.
Gulan still had a stern face, as if he heard nothing, with an expression of "I don't want to listen at all, but it doesn't hurt to listen"; Haiberion was troubled by the demon mentioned in the story. Although Kira said that he had dealt with the Ice King, there was no guarantee that other demons might know.
In the end, Conas was extremely disappointed, with an expression like a worker who couldn't accept that his salary was far below his expectations.
In the examination room No. 4 , Ika's hands were entangled with flames. This fighting action was learned from Natsu. He imitated the posture to 60% of Natsu's, but the power was less than 10% of Natsu's. However, this was normal. There was a huge gap between the two.
"Bone Spirit Cold Fire!"
"Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire!"
"Falling Heart Flame!"
He called out a bunch of second-rate names, and with a barely passable fighting stance, he managed to turn the four-person melee into a melee of forty people.
Opposite him, a kid who was beaten back repeatedly couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with this guy? He has no rules at all when fighting. It's like he just hits wherever he thinks of..."
"Who knows, the moves he just mentioned seemed familiar to me, as if I've heard them somewhere before."
"Do you think so too? Is it some powerful fire magic? But when he uses it, it's obviously not that powerful..."
“Hahahaha… Are you three scared? I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late when I use my ultimate move!”
Seeing Ika being so arrogant, the three children were shocked and looked at each other, hesitant.
"What are you afraid of? The teachers in the academy are watching us! Get him!"
The three of them rushed forward, and then...
Ika snorted and laughed: "Combine the flames of your left and right hands... Take my ultimate move, Buddha's wrathful lotus!"
“Ah——!”×3
The three of them flew backwards in response: "I...we surrender!"
"Contestant Ika wins and advances!"
On the side, the invigilator watched all this with an expressionless face, writing down the numbers of several examinees with a pen in his hand. After Ika swaggered away, he rolled his eyes and complained, "Are all the kids nowadays so immature?"
In examination room No. 7, Little Red Riding Hood Akas imitated Kana. She drank a sip of juice before going on stage, then took out a few sparkling cards to prepare for the battle.
The three opponents thought the little girl’s outfit was quite cute and originally planned to deal with her last. However, soon, Akas’ series of attacks made the three of them confused.
“A heavy blow!”
"Elemental fluctuations!"
"Killing Poker!"
"Confession Cross!"
Bang! Puff! Snap! Boom!
With four cards, he easily defeated three opponents and successfully advanced!
"Contestant Akas advanced!"
"Very good!"
At the same time, in Examination Room 13...
Due to years of exercise, the 12-year-old Kuwamaru has grown faster than his peers and looks like he is already 14 or 15 years old. In the examination room, he throws punch after punch, and each punch carries special magic.
"Gravity Punch!"
Bang!
The punch was so powerful that it knocked an opponent flying!
"Sleeping Fist!"
Boom!
Knock out another opponent with a punch!
"Demon-breaking Fist!"
Bang!
His fists dispersed the oncoming magic, then Kuwamaru rushed forward to approach his opponents and landed a punch on the head of the last opponent.
"Your training is not enough, you must keep going!"
"Contestant Kuwamaru advances!"
Examination Room No. 20...
"Flame shape, fire bow!"
"Lightning shape, lightning gun!"
"Storm Style, Wind Blade!"
Rufus created three spells of different attributes but extremely powerful attacking power, which blasted three cracks in the examination room. Such attacks were considered very powerful magic among his peers.
"If this hits me..."
The three opponents looked at each other and knew they couldn't win, so they immediately became cowardly: "We surrender!"
"Contestant Rufus advances!"
…
Time passed by minute by minute, and the second exam was about to end. A row of people outside the venue stood on tiptoe, waiting for the final result to be given by the official.
Finally, a list was delivered to the guest area. Conas took a quick look and stood up to announce the content of the third level of the exam.
