Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva

Chapter 97: Chapter 56 Departure Farewell

The Phantom Crystal Beasts active in the combat arena posed numerous challenges for the students retaking the exam; most students couldn't even get past the first minor obstacle, in the end only managing to score between 1 and 8 points based on their performance midway through.

But not everyone was the same; there were always a few geniuses that stood out from the crowd.

"O'Conner, congratulations on passing the first minor obstacle."

In the field, the short-haired boy who always went first in the assessments stood elegantly, still accompanied by the young indigo wolf at his side.

"I didn't expect this guy to have advanced to Sequence 3 already, no wonder he defeated the Phantom Crystal Beast so easily," the students below discussed.

"To forge iron, one must be strong oneself, although the theme is 'bond,' one can only help their partner if they're strong themselves."

"It seems my understanding of 'bond' (strength) is still insufficient," a student said as he pumped himself up.

"That's right, although it's a bit rude, you'll look just like a fool shouting slogans without any strength of your own."

"Ahaha, just wait and see the 'bond' (strength) between me and my partner!"

Ignoring the excited shouts and cheers from the students below, the challenge on the stage had already moved on to the second obstacle.

"Three of them, huh? That does pose some difficulty."

O'Conner bent slightly forward, his hands naturally hanging at his sides, his eyes firmly fixed on the three Phantom Crystal Beasts opposite him; he then suddenly charged forward.

He took the initiative, knocking the swift wolf aside, and then struck the fierce tiger with the palm of his hand, engaging it in a scuffle. At that moment, the young wolf also followed up, joining the battle.

The field was shrouded with flying dust, and after several major skirmishes, the swift wolf crumbled into dust, while the fierce tiger was badly damaged, but the eagle in the sky remained intact, swooping down from time to time.

In the end, both the boy and the wolf were exhausted and defeated by the Phantom Crystal Beast eagle, lying on the field's grass, covered in crystal sand.

"O'Conner, your final score is 17 points."

"Oh, that's the highest score so far, right?"

"It looks like it."

As the crowd buzzed with discussion, two girls also arrived at the scene from the end of the line.

"Has it started already? It looks quite intense," noticing everyone's excited discussions, Hexia and Mianna listened closely and quickly understood the current situation.

"It's time to join in." The two of them also walked toward the high platform to get their sequence numbers.

Soon it was Mianna's turn to go on stage.

"Ho ho, watch me work wonders, Hexia!" The short-haired lively girl waved at Hexia, then climbed up to the combat arena with her giant crab in tow.

The crab at this point appeared more magnificent than during lunchtime, its blue back was darker, and the surface seemed coated with a crystal-like glaze.

Indeed, once on the field, the crab's performance took many students by surprise. Explore stories on m,v l'-NovelBin.net

"Is this a Sequence 2 creature? It doesn't seem like it."

"Could it have advanced, in such a short time?"

"That must be it, it looks exactly like the Tidal Sequence 3·Blue Crystal Crab from the star web database, and its pincers are even larger."

On the field, Mianna maneuvered around the Phantom Crystal Beasts, waited for the right moment to knock them over, and then suddenly shouted, "Now!"

"Use your massive pincers to strangle!" The blue-shelled giant crab on the field grasped the Phantom Crystal Beast's neck, its pincers clamping down forcefully, decapitating its head, which shattered into countless fractured crystals.

"Mianna, you've passed."

"Yay~" The girl jumped with joy, astonishing the students in the arena.

"It's rare to see someone let their 'partner' play the main role in defeating a Phantom Crystal Beast."

"Maybe this is the solution; we could try it as well."

Inspired, subsequent students also began looking up information, sinking into deep thought about how to communicate with their 'partners' so they could understand complex formulas and Branding, and then condense a stable, Transcendent Core.

In the following challenges, Mianna led her giant crab partner to defeat one Phantom Crystal Beast but was still defeated and knocked out of the competition by the remaining two.

"Mianna, your final score is 15 points."

"That's higher than Pawula before, she's made it into the top 10 now."

"Yeah, we have to work hard too."

As the discussions grew heated, it was Hexia's turn to take the stage. Unlike the other students, who found difficulty in the challenge, she pondered whether to let the little snake fight alone or to assist it herself. But if she took action, how much of her strength should she reserve? With her Talent, she could instantly disintegrate the crystal core-made Phantom Crystal Beasts without any difficulty or visual impact.

Hiding her true strength was a necessary skill in life; keeping some cards close to her chest would always be safer. It was also a good opportunity to see how far she could go without using her Talent.

"The challenge begins!"

A Phantom Crystal Beast tiger leaped out onto the field, baring its teeth and glaring at a person and a snake not far off, charging towards them.
