Arcana Mob

Chapter 15 Ch 15 : Last Test

Time passed by in the blink of an eye.

After the first few test results were out, almost 50% of the examinees have been deemed to fail the test and the number of Examinees has been cut down a lot from the beginning of the examination.

Everyone once again was directed to enter the examination hall in groups.

But as Cade had already gotten some scouting from the universities, he was directed into a special room where most of the talented candidates would hold their final tests.

This time was a wholly enclosed combat room: where his combat ability would be assessed.

Cade walked into his room. It was completely empty.

No table or chair. What was inside the room was only the cold wooden floor.

But just when he thought he would be doing the last test alone, the door was opened once again, and another familiar figure popped out.

' Luna Forewater…'

It was none other than Luna. But just like how Cade was able to recognize her, the other party seemed to also recognize Cade.

To be honest, even though Cade's previous performance could be considered good in the eyes of others, it was just barely passable in the standard of Five Great Universities and Luna. And it was only his [erfect score in the first test that managed to attract the attention of Luna.

The two exchanged a gaze with one another, but before they could say anything, the surrounding landscape changed.

" Well, it seems that they wouldn't give us a chance to chat and get to know each other."

Luna chuckled.

Normally she would be a pretty cold individual, but once someone managed to get her attention, she would try her best to get to know the person.

It was also the same case with the original protagonist. It's just this time; her target of attention was Cade.

But Cade was in no mood to chat with Luna.

Different than Luna, his fate would be depended on his test, and he could not let his guard down.

Furthermore, being too close with the protagonist group would do him no good, he thought.

A familiar 3D virtual environment appeared. His surroundings then turned into a grassland savannah.

Before he went to do the test, Cade had read some records about this test. And in this test, the group would go and battle a horde of hologram monsters.

Usually this wouldn't be too hard as the group would consist of more than twenty people, but now, they only had two people against the group of monsters.

[ The first wave would be spawned in another thirty seconds.]

[ It is reminded for the examinees to prepare yourself.]

As the mechanical voice sounded throughout the room, Cade and Luna no longer had the mood to play around.

Their hand glowed, and a card appeared on their hand.

" Summon Arcane Card!"

Immediately, the card in their hand shone, and a change happened.

For Cade, as usual, Spectre Dullahan emerged in front of him.

The menaced-looking knight with no head and fire all over its body while holding a sword was ready to decapitate its enemy.

But the focus here was not on Cade's Spectre's Dullahan but rather on Luna's.

Luna's Arcane Card didn't summon something like Cade, but rather it merged on her body.

In fact, there were two types of Arcane cards, summon and possession. Most people had Summon type like Cade, while only a select few had possession type as it was far stronger and rarer.

It was also the reason why Cade was not able to connect the dots when he came into this world. All the main characters had the possession type Arcane Card, so when he saw his Arcane Card actually summon something, he didn't link his world to the game he had once played before.

Luna's body now had almost every part of her body covered by white holy looking armor. The upper part of this armor only consists of a small, revealing breastplate that extends along her hips, composed of feather-shaped plates pointing upwards with a large metal flower on the front, leaving the tops of her breasts exposed, as well as her stomach. Her biceps are covered by white straps, and her very large plated gauntlets sport feather-shaped plates at the edges.

Two big white wings grew on her back, and in her current appearance, Luna really looked like an angel descended from heaven.

' Luna's Arcane Card, the White-winged angel, huh…'

Cade mumbled in his mind. To be honest, he was very familiar with this Arcane Card, and he also thought that this was one of the strongest Arcane Card around as it started with rank (III) and it had its limit at rank (VIII)

As the two finished summoning their Arcane Cards, thirty seconds also had passed.

The room shook for a moment, and monsters began appearing in their direction.

A body figure covered with an old ragged cloak, equipped with a stick-like weapon, appeared in front of him.

The cloak was so ragged that it didn't even cover its head, so Cade and Luna could easily see its appearance.

Its height was about 1.2 meters. A lot shorter than them. One of them might give them no pressure, but when more than twenty were spawned simultaneously, it placed tremendous pressure upon the two.

Rank (II) monster, Sneaky Goblin!

The assessment has now begun, and the two would need to fight against the virtual monsters.

Normally, the two would be given some chance to discuss strategy, but things were different here.

"Bang!"

Noticing that Cade didn't attack after such a long time, Luna no longer waited to wait.

Her eyes shined. She went directly into the middle of the Goblin horde and tried to take them on directly.

*Khwak!!!*

One of Luna's slashes was enough to kill a few goblins, but it also left her back wide open.

But before the Goblins could take advantage of the situation and attack Luna, a headless knight had already come and covered her from behind.

" You know.. you are a bit too reckless.."

Cade sighed; if he had not commanded the Spectre Dullahan in time, then the Goblin's attack might have hit Luna. But contrary to his expectations, Luna just smiled when he heard Cade's words.

" Hah.. I'm not. I just know that you are going to cover me. Let's stop talking; the enemy is coming!"

Turning his head around, Cade also noticed that what Luna said was correct. Not long after the first few Goblins were killed, the virtual test room began to spawn another Goblin. It was now time for round two.
