When everyone ended Elder Ron said “The first one in this assessment is Yasenia! Followed by Gustav and Ryuuji. Only the three of you killed the tayra congratulations! Those that have reached the Komodo dragon fight, go forward! For the rest depending on the previous assessments, you will be either put on the red, orange, yellow, or green class! The ones that have reached the last test will be put in either the blue, indigo, or violet class!”
The ones that passed advanced forwards. There were only 1000 people of the almost 300000 people that presented. They reached the assessment area and there were 6 arenas in two lines of three.
They were surrounded by a ton of stands making a gigantic Coliseum. Here there are all the teachers and alumni that were spectating before. Madelaine got up from the teacher stands and landed before them.
Madelaine has light purple hair and black and blue eyes that seem to be able to swallow everything. With a 173cm tall build and slim body, with her cold features, even when she speaks gently, you would be intimidated.
She looked over and spoke “The last assessment is to win against the senior of the violet class appointed by the academy, if you are able to win, you will be put directly in the violet class usurping their position, so don’t expect mercy from them. If you don’t win you will be paired against someone from the indigo class with the same conditions. If you lose those two battles you will begin from the bottom of the blue class and will have to fight to grow. That’s all, begin!”
Seeing that nobody was stepping forward, Yasenia took it upon herself. She started walking calmly towards one of the arenas. Her [Blood flower spirit] robes waving with the wind as if she was stepping on clouds.
Her long and fine dark hair and seductive features accompanied her tall and well-endowed body drawing gazes from everyone. Her golden slit eyes calmly looked around and when she stepped onto the arena she said with a smile “So? Who is my opponent?”
A female jumped from the stands, she had chestnut-colored long hair and brown eyes, with delicate features, and was 165cm tall. She said with a taunting smile “Are you so impatient junior? I’m Ellie, out of the 100 violet class outer disciples, I’m ranked 45th my cultivation is at the eighth level of the Body Modification realm, although beating up a junior only on the second level isn’t to my taste, today you must forgive me.”
Yasenia answered by taking out her giant sword and circulating her energy. She started remembering her lessons with her mother ‘A battle between cultivators is completely different from a battle against beasts. Doing faints and interrupting the beast tempo is easy… at least for the low-ranked ones. However, a cultivator is cunning. Never go all out at the beginning unless you are absolutely certain of winning.’
Tatyana at that moment smiled mischievously ‘Instead of using faints, use mind-games, play sheep to eat the tiger, deceive them in their own games, and when they think that they have you… Kill with one strike! Your tail will be one of your most useful assets use it well.’
Yasenia asked looking at the teachers “Can we do lethal attacks?” Madeleine smiled and said “Yes, there is a formation that reverses one lethal injury per person a day. Nonetheless, if we think that your attack will be too devastating, we will stop you, but the stopped person will win so don’t worry. Fight without concerns.” Yasenia nodded and waited for the signal.
“Begin!”
Yasenia this time played on the defensive. Ellie charged forward with her long sword, her steps seeming elusive and fast making Yasenia have a problem seeing her clearly. When Ellie was halfway, she waved her hand, and a fireball as big as a person launched towards Yasenia.
Yasenia jumped to the side instead of evading normally. As she has expected, that fireball exploded in her previous position! Ellie using the time when Yasenia was evading, covered her sword with magma and did a powerful frontal thrust!
Yasenia calmly covered her sword with the [celestial coat] charged towards Ellie and she did a powerful diagonal strike that went from the upper right to the bottom left side. “Bang!” The two swords collided and Yasenia was sent backpedaling 6 steps while Ellie only moved one step.
Ellie smiled and charged again with the magma cover. She was also sending fireballs from time to time and she was wearing down Yasenia little by little. Like that almost four minutes passed.
Ellie saw the [Celestial coat] in her sword getting thinner and thought that she already had it in the bag. At that moment! Yasenia suddenly used the Full body [Celestial coat] and it shone with a new brilliance!
The divine-looking Yasenia charged forwards with more than double the previous speed! Ellie was surprised and she hastily erected a firewall only to be cut vertically by that giant sword!
Feeling an opportunity now that Yasenia was mid-swing, she did a vertical slash towards Yasenias head. However, when she was about to bring down her sword, she felt something piercing her chest!
She looked down only to see a golden tail piercing a little to the right of her heart! Then she heard a soft “You lost.” And she lost consciousness. Yasenia took off her tail, and blood spluttered from the wound. Some people jumped towards the stage and took Ellie away to the medical room.
Yasenia’s strategy was to make her opponent forget about her tail and in a burst of power use the giant sword to make a way for her tail to strike. She succeeded and won! Yasenia smiled and looked towards the teachers.
She saw praising gazes and nods. Some of the violet class, however, commented “If she was that strong why didn’t she use all her strength from the beginning? Truly she is like her tail a complete snake!”
Some people followed “Truly treacherous, no wonder the beast-humans are so little in the sky continent. I’m sure that they are all like her.” More murmurs appeared with time.
The teachers thought for a moment and didn’t say anything. They looked towards Yasenia thinking ‘If she can’t deal with this little amount of discrimination, she shouldn’t be worthy of entering the academy’.
Yasenia looked at those people with a smile and was about to speak when the air around those people started to freeze. A blue-haired woman with icy-blue eyes and icy countenance spoke “If you are mocking even the most basic fighting rule, that is, when fighting one must not reveal all your cards from the beginning. I don’t even know how you made it to the violet class, you should return to the red class and climb from zero again.”
Yasenia looked over and when she saw Cecil’s icy face, warmth crept into her heart. She added while laughing. “This is so ridiculous hahaha! I asked the teachers and they said to fight without reservations. She is lucky I wasn’t a poison master or I would have been ever more ‘treacherous’ and if you are so narrow-minded that you can’t even accept someone different from yourself…”
Yasenia raised an eyebrow and said, “You should go to the heart-demon formation and see if you still can last a minute inside.” Then she walked towards Cecil’s side sashaying her hips, when Cecil was about to speak, she was engulfed in a warm embrace with her head sinking in something soft and sweet-smelling.
Yasenia smelled the almost forgotten refreshing scent and felt the cool body between her arms. Then separated and looked down to the face with reddish cheeks with a gentle smile and voice “long time no see Cecil, thanks for defending me right now.”
Cecil was so overwhelmed that she only could respond with an “En” and then sat again. Yasenia curled her tail in front of her to not bother anybody and continued to watch the fights.
The people around were surprised and a boy from nearby asked “Do you know each other? It seems that you are good friends!” Yasenia started to make a little conversation with her future to be classmates.
Meanwhile, Cecile was remembering the pats and the feeling of the soft tail and couldn’t help but send some looks towards it. As if reading her mind, while speaking Yasenia started patting Cecile’s head softly with it. Cecile closed her eyes a little savoring that feeling.
One girl nearby couldn’t help but shyly ask Cecile who was having a little smile on her perpetually cold face. “Does it really feel good?” Instead of Cecile, it was Yasenia who used her long tail expertly to pat the two people at the same time.
The girl being more expressive said “Whaa… So comfortable… It is soft and warm and relaxes my mind a lot…” The girl closed her eyes with a smile.
This was not without reason, it was because of the energy-absorbing quality of Yasenias tail. It is an extremely good energy conductor so when caressed by it, it will absorb that extra energy that your body has and relax your muscles and nerves.
If put in the head, it makes your thoughts relax also absorbing the excess energy of the brain. Yasenia has done a lot of research in massages and other similar things because she wanted to help Tatyana a little with what she could.
So, if Yasenia gives somebody a full body massage with her tail, they will almost all the time fall asleep because of relaxation.
After a few more seconds she took back her tail with a laugh saying playfully “Should I make a stall with this?”
Some people couldn’t help but laugh, while that particular girl was thinking seriously about it.
Madeleine approached their group and started speaking calmly “That kind of stall is not against the regulations unless you do things like harassment in the name of massage. It has happened before so the punishment is not light, be careful.”
Yasenia and the rest stood up and bowed “Hello teacher Madeleine!”
Madeleine nodded and said to Yasenia “It seems that you know Cecile. She is the student I picked the past year, this year I only have one disciple quota, because-”
Cecile intervened “You recklessly destroyed the arena when you got excited.”
Madeleine choked a little. “*Cough* Well, things happen. What do you think Yasenia? Do you want to become my disciple?”
Yasenia seriously thought. ‘I rather become Mason disciple, he seems to have the same fighting style as me seeing that giant sword on his back… But he hasn’t sent me an invitation. If I reject here maybe I will lose this opportunity…’
Madeleine waited patiently for her to think, ‘Madeleine excels at what I’m weak at, the skills. Because my energy is difficult to control, I have only created my [Celestial coat]. My mother told me that it is something powerful that will most likely accompany the rest of my cultivation road, she was actually very proud about it and that night rewarded- *Cough* Don’t go on a tangent. In short, I think I should accept.’
Madeleine seeing the slight redness in her cheeks got a big misunderstanding ‘Did she fall in love with me? Well, I wouldn’t really mind… No, no, no what are you thinking!’
On the other side, Cecile didn’t know why, but she had the urge to punch her respected master in the face.
Yasenia after some seconds of thinking answered with a full 90 degrees bow, which sent some males and females into a daze because of the big bounce her chest did. “I, Yasenia, daughter of Countess Tatyana of the Moon Empire accepts Master Madeleine.”
Then she straightened her waist and added while looking at Madeleine’s eyes with her golden slit eyes and said “I will be in your care, master” Madeleine nodded happily.
