Power stone guys??????

"If Princess Sex Bitch joined as a sidekick, a hero's assistant, it would be perfect," I mused, a playful smile on my lips.
Kelly's laughter returned, and she playfully scolded me. "Seriously, stop...! I'm starving!"
I suddenly realized that Sylvie was no longer with us. I looked around, and to my surprise, her ample bosom was absent from view.
Turning my gaze back, I spotted Sylvie slumped and drooping in the distance, her energy seemingly drained.
For some reason, Sylvie's head hung low, and a sense of gloom surrounded her. She hadn't uttered a word for a while, and her silence concerned me deeply. I approached her tenderly, calling her name.
"Sylvie."
Startled by my voice, Sylvie quickly lifted her head, her eyes sparkling with a mix of surprise and relief.
"Huh!? D-did you call? Lucas."
I gently smiled at her and spoke, trying to reassure her.
"Why are you lagging further and further behind? Stay close."
Sylvie's expression softened, and she nodded, determination glimmering in her eyes.
"Yes! I'll stay close."
I couldn't help but feel a tinge of guilt at my previous thoughts. It was unfair to judge Sylvie solely based on her physical proximity or her affectionate behavior. She was my childhood friend, and her support meant the world to me. I resolved to be more considerate of her feelings.
As we continued on, it was Kelly who took the lead, her sword skills shining brightly. From the distance, I could see her prowess with the sword, and it was truly impressive.
"Haahaa!"
Kelly's energetic voice rang out, and she formed a V with her fingers, expressing her joy.
"991 points!"
Kelly's accomplishment was remarkable, and she couldn't contain her excitement. I couldn't help but be impressed by her skill.
"That's amazing."
I turned to Sylvie, who seemed curious about the score.
"Is that a high score?"
Kelly chimed in, her voice filled with pride.
"Indeed! Astoundingly high. Our class's Top 3 is solidified."
Thinking about my own performance, I couldn't help but wonder how well I would fare. As the renowned protagonist of this world, I had faced numerous challenges and triumphed over them. It was reasonable to expect that my score would leave everyone astonished.
Lost in my thoughts, I imagined the reactions of Kelly and Sylvie, tailored to my own preferences.
"Wow, Lucas... You're incredible! I'm so proud to be your friend!"
"How can you be 2,000 points higher than me? You're truly amazing!"
"I'm so sorry I didn't realize you were a D-class!"
I chuckled at my own fantasies, realizing that some of the lines were quite suggestive. I quickly dismissed those thoughts, focusing on the task at hand.
Interrupting my musings, Kelly called out, bringing my attention back to the training ground.
"Next up is Sylvie's turn."
I noticed that Sylvie appeared quite tense, her expression filled with anticipation mixed with nervousness.
"Who was that again?"
"I don't know. But her breasts are quite large."
"She seems gloomy."
My classmates whispered among themselves, their words tinged with ignorance. I couldn't understand why anyone would reduce Sylvie to mere physical attributes when she was undeniably a stunning beauty.
Suppressing my annoyance, I approached Sylvie, a comforting smile on my face.
"I believe in you, Sylvie. Show them what you're capable of."
Sylvie's eyes met mine, and she nodded with determination.
"Thank you, Lucas. I'll do my best."
With Sylvie's departure, I found myself waiting for my turn. Kelly and Sylvie encouraged me, their words filled with support and anticipation.
"Ah, Lucas. Keep your spirits up."
"Lucas! Achieve a new high score!"
"I'll be right back."
Their farewell warmed my heart, and I felt a renewed sense of determination. Making my way to the center of the training ground, I positioned myself in front of the straw mannequin. The spectators were at a safe distance, ensuring our skills wouldn't affect them.
The area near the training dummy was guarded solely by the measuring instructor, Drake. Drake, a black-haired hunter in his mid-twenties, stood there in a sharp suit. Kelly had mentioned that an S-rank hunter or higher always oversaw the power measurement tests, making Drake an impressive figure.
"Move to your position," A person in-charge commanded.
"Understood," I replied, determined not to back down. It wasn't just because he was an S-rank hunter; it was also because of the menacing Benelli series semi-automatic shotgun strapped to Drake's back.
"The test will begin in 6 seconds," Drake announced.
I activated my Insight ability, preparing myself. The training dummy stood before me, its HP displayed in my vision.
[Novice Magic Dummy HP (34,399/35,000)]
The dummy was designed for measuring damage, and despite being mass-produced, it required a significant amount of magical power.
Created by Marilyn and owned by Acadia Academy's Student Council, it boasted remarkable quality for a mass-produced item.
"...As expected, it doesn't seem to have any specific weaknesses," I thought, analyzing the dummy.
However, to me, it was more than just a novice scarecrow. It was the perfect target for my ultimate technique—Character Defilement.
"Hrrrgh! Character Expel Smash!!!" I shouted, pouring all my strength into the attack.
I felt a surge of power as I delivered a weight-bearing backhand straight punch towards the scarecrow, determined to defile it.
But to my surprise, my fist didn't pierce through the scarecrow as I had expected. Undeterred, I continued my assault.
"Character Defilement! Thwack! Thwack!" I executed a clean one-two, landing precise blows on the scarecrow's head.
The six seconds were over, and Drake's voice broke the silence. "18 points."
