Chapter 477 Competition for the final spot
The sun shone brightly in the sky, scattering its bright radiance everywhere.
Usually, the temperature remained very low in this place, but today the temperature was high.
Matching perfectly to the heated moment taking place in one of the training grounds of the college, there were only four students outside in the name of the crowd.
"So we will start with the first round. It will be a perception test. Our Mage and archer will try to sense you, but you both have to ensure you don't come into their range of scan."
"You both are not allowed to leave the battlefield; I will track the smartphones of both of you. Anyone caught cheating would be directly disqualified for this selection and all other competitions," added the captain.
"Mage and Archer, activate your skills and spells. I want you both to give your best; this is also a practice for you both. You need to train not to get ambushed by the opponent Assasins."
"Gopal is right; I will also use my sensing abilities to check their position," said the Swordsman before also approaching the Battle Ring.
The trio surrounded the Battle Ring, preparing their skills to try their best to locate the positions of both participants.
Rishi and the Assasin prepared themselves, waiting for the signal from the captain.
"Alright, now both of you use your concealment to finish my counting from 3 to 1."
"Three." Both participants took a deep breath and straightened their bodies, ready to use their skills.
"Two," they started focusing.
"One." The moment he said that, both of them disappeared from view, moving around the big battle ring.
The trio waiting outside activated their skills and started to track them down. Mage used the area scan spell to notice something.
Archer used his sensory skills to locate them, while Swordsman also used his sensing skills.
As time passed and the assassins tried their best not to get caught, the opponent's location became visible to the captain, who was moving around the battle ring slowly.
On the other side, Rishi directly moved to the center at a quick speed and stayed there.
The trio tried their best to surround the battle ring and started decreasing the safe spot in the battle ring. Two minutes passed, but no one of them was caught.
Soon, it was five minutes, and they could not sense anyone. It was then that they noticed a small presence.
It was Mage who sensed the ripple; she shared the information with the other two, and they also concentrated.
They spotted that area, surrounded it, and started focusing on it. It only took them one more minute to finally track down the first one.
All of them believed that it was the new guy, but they were still impressed by him. However, when the target's identity was revealed, they could not believe that it was the assassin training with them.
He was one of the best second-year assassins; how could someone in his first year overshadow him?
They kept looking for the other one but could not locate him. As the ten-minute mark took place, the captain declared Rishi the winner and asked him to appear.
He appeared behind Mage, scaring her. She looked back and felt shivers down her spine, unable to believe he was this close to her.
Others also clapped for him; his concealment was very strong. It impressed them, but they were also skeptical about the other areas.
While concealment was essential, other things were also important.
"Good, you both performed way better than my expectations. However, an assassin doesn't only need concealment; he also needs a powerful burst attack."
"You both must show us how strong your one-shot attack is. Remember that you cannot use your zones or attack for more than two seconds."
"It will be measured through training, Dummy. Use your full power; don't hold back anything." He said it with a smile.
Both of them nodded and followed behind him. Others also joined them.
They appeared at a particular part of the training field where they could see many training dummies. They stopped there and appeared before a particular training dummy.
Rishi and the assasin stood there. The captain stopped there and looked at the training dummy with a smile.
"Sahil, you will be the first one. Go and perform your strike," said the captain.
The assailant raised his daggers and approached the training dummy. A black-colored smoke surrounded him before a green-colored aura released from his dagger tips and concentrated on the edges.
His body flashed, and he struck his daggers at a rapid speed and hit multiple vitals at once before landing a powerful cross-slash. The whole training dummy started shaking.
A number appeared on it. The dummy appeared to be a little damaged.
'2500'
"Woah! That's quite a lot; I don't think even fighters will be able to survive his complete combo." said the Mage.
"His skill enhances damage when he lands a combo; he also got multiple critical hits due to attacking the vitals," added the archer.
"I am curious what the new guy will do—I mean, how will he attack? Will he also go for a combo?" asked the Swordsman.
Sahil retreated with a satisfied smile on his face. He looked at Rishi and raised his brows as if asking what he would do next.
He was confident that his opponent would have no answer for that. Even he was surprised at how he was able to land perfect vital attacks at such speed.
Rishi approached the training dummy with a calm expression on his face. He held air, and a spell appeared on his hand.
The next moment, it was surrounded by a layer of ice. This surprised everyone for multiple reasons.
The first was that they never expected him to use Spear, as it was rare for an assassin to use it.
Second, he didn't use a real spear but created it with energy. It was a well-known fact that weapons created from energy could not stand for long; they were nowhere near when compared to physical weapons.
Gopal, captain of the team, was also surprised. A curious expression appeared on his face; he wanted to see what this new guy was capable of.
