I kept squeezing my hands, Sir Albercht already just finished his turn. The female representative of Whytemoon stepped in, she was being cheered on by the other representatives. I also clapped my hands.

She was the funny girl that staged her bumping into a group of male students at Whytemoon. She glanced my way and..snickered??

Like I did earlier. I did not pay attention during the first stage. She was using light magic though, I immediately knew who she was after that. Pink hair and then Light magic, she's the heroine. If she's the heroine then why would she snicker? How weird.

She managed to finish the first stage after 13 minutes. She must be a favorite since she's being cheered on. When the second stage began, it took her a little longer. 14 minutes, even if the time limit is 15 minutes, if you exceed you would get deduction.

I'll give her the credit, she's talented. She finished the last stage in 20 minutes. Stress was building up in my stomach. I could see Sir Albercht pacing over the other side of the dome.

*BUZZ*

I got up and walked in the dome.

START

-Third Person's POV-

A large spider that nearly filled the whole dome spawned, Euphemia casted a silent spell using her Imagery magic to confuse the spider that she was not inside the dome, erasing her presence in the same time.



Her legs trembled, her face paled and her eyes brimmed with tears.

"Why is she so afraid??"

"Aww she's all looks but is actually a coward."

"Tch, She looks like she's about to pass out."

"Pftt- I knew this is no place for her."

Albercht clicked his tongue, the noble representatives quickly stopped. It was not a good idea angering any student from Crestbreeze.

"Wait..why doesn't it see her??"

Everyone looked back and noticed that it really doesn't, even though she was trembling right under it. The spider was completely clueless of her existence. She slowly stood up, in her hands a long gold glowing rope appeared in her hands.

"Creation Magic: Siren's Thread"

"She- She has creation magic?!" The facilitators and professors eyes' widen. The representatives were stunned, they never saw anyone with Creation Magic.

She released her imagery magic but then she, herself, disappeared.

"Wha-" Everyone was confused, Olysseus squinted his eyes then had a realization. He was amazed,

Even though no one could see her, they could see the gold thread quickly moving from one leg to the other in a crisscross pattern. Locking the spider in a bind. When she reappeared, the spider was already on the ground, free from scratches.

It took her 6 minutes in total, four minutes of getting herself together and two minutes for the execution. Euphemia quickly covered her eyes again and went as far away as possible from the spider. Her hands were shaking uncontrollably, tears threatening to escape her eyes.

"P-please, take it away.." She stuttered. They quickly removed the spider from the dome and gave her a few minutes to regain her composure.

"I'm sorry, I'm alright now thank you." She bowed and half smiled, melting the hearts of the audience.

(A/n: SIMPS)

Stage two: Derrsdread



She raised her hand in the air and lightning went falling down, electrocuting the Derrsdread. Making them fall to the ground.

"Sprout Spear." With that chant, right underneath the bodies of the Derrsdread, a pool of water then right at by their chest, a long spear made of water punctured through. Inside the head of the spear was the monster core.

Albercht clapped his hands, expected no less from the best student mage in the Academy. Olysseus watched in curiosity, at first he underestimated the young lady but he was completely mistaken.

Stage two: Sckulreech



A smile creeped up her face, "Stygian's drain"

There was absolutely no supply of water inside the dome but the whole dome started to fill up with black water.

"WHAT THE?!"

When the dome was half way full, the monster started approaching Euphemia. There was a shield protecting her from the harsh waves. The monsters stopped in the middle, it wasn't because they were doing it on purpose but because there was a whirlpool right underneath them.

The monsters were sucked in and the magic dispersed, all was left was just its core. This all happened in a span of 2 minutes and 10 seconds.

She walked near to the monster core and picked it up then bowed.

-Euphemia's POV-

I regained my composure and kept a calm demeanor as I exited the dome. When I got in, they were just staring at me with wide eyes. I felt a prickling glare pointed at me so when I searched for it, it was Rhosyn.

She really doesn't like me even when she doesn't know I am Euphemia. I ignored her glare and continued to sit next to Sir Albercht. I tried to make myself somewhat comfortable on my seat as the next participant entered the dome.

But when I heard the scream of the spider I got up, thankfully the facilitator let me leave for the time being. I strolled around, admiring the facility. I perked up when I saw that they had a garden of herbs.

"Good day, milady. What brings a beautiful lady like you here?" There was a researcher in the far end of the garden.

"Good day to you as well, I am just sightseeing. I hope I'm not disrupting you?"

"Oh of certainly not, feel free to touch the plants. None of them are harmful to humans." He smiled and went back to his job.

I passed time by observing what he was doing, he was extracting the sap from the roots of the herbal plants. The woman who was in charge for Crestbreeze found me and informed me to go back.

I bowed to the researcher and left.
