Chapter 7: Birth of a another progidy

"Sorching swordsmanship first moment, Flame sword" Luca exclaimed as he charged towards the tester at an incredible speed.

Scorching swordsmanship was a special swordsmanship belonging to Luca's family that's known for their speed and powerful flames.

Luca charged towards the tester, fearlessly with his sword covered in flames. When he was close enough, Luca swung his sword 180 degrees horizontally toward the

the lower body of the tester.

He moved so fast that even before the tester had the time to react, he was slashed by Luca's sword.

"I have won," Luca declared.

Blood started to spill out from the wounded area of the tester and the tester also felt a burning sensation due to the flames burning his flesh.

However, the bleeding didn't last for long since his defense and regeneration abilities were very high.

He just looked at Luca as he gritted his teeth and announced.

"You have passed the first round of the exam, you may leave now," The tester said as he gritted his teeth.

Luca just nodded his head slightly as he walked away.

At the same time, not too far away from the battlefield.

Four people were sitting in chairs that seemed to be made up of gold

They were talking among themselves.

"I am surprised that he can use the first movement of Scorching Flame swordsmanship at such a young age" An inspector who was with Longan exclaimed.

"There is nothing to be surprised about, he is one of the progdies of the kingdom. If he can't do this much then I would have felt shame" Longan replied to the inspector who spoke.

The inspector nodded his head slightly in approval. The inspector turned his head towards the envoy who was from the empire.

"Honorable envoy, what do you think of Luca?" The inspector asked.

"I think that he is talented since it requires precious control of his mana to be able to produce flames.

However, he is greatly lacking compared to students of Divinity Academy." The envoy remarked.

The three of the other inspectors nodded their heads in approval.

"Of course, We know that the progdies of our Kingdom are no match for the students of Divinity Academy," Longan said to the envoy with a smile.

The Divinity Academy is located in the capital of the human Domain. It's a place where the top talents of humanity are groomed.

Those who graduated from the Divinity Academy at the very least become A-grade Divinities in their lifetime.

"Let's continue to watch the battle of the other students" The envoy replied.

Everyone just nodded their head and continued to watch the performance of the other students.

***

A respectful look could be seen on the look on everyone's face after he defeated the tester in less than a few seconds.

"Wow, he defeated the tester in just 10 seconds" One person in the crowd exclaimed.

"Of course, he did, he is called a prodigy for a reason" One of them.

Lucius had a frustrated look on his face, as he looked at the tester looking at the next examinee list.

"Damn it, he defeated him so fast. I couldn't find any of his weakness" Lucius exclaimed with a visibly frustrated look on his face.

As he was complaining about this, a powerful voice resounded through the entire place which caused him to become nervous.

"Lucius, please come forward if you are here. It's your turn" The tester shouted.

Lucius took a deep breath when he heard that. Nervousness was visible on his face.

"I am very unlucky. Why did he have to choose me out of the thousands of candidates??" Lucius thought to himself as he complained.

Lucius kept complaining despite knowing that it was useless. As he was complaining, the voice once again resounded through his ears.

"I repeat Lucius, if you are present then come forward to fight in a minute. If you don't show up in a minute then you will be disqualified from this year's exam" The powerful voice of the tester once again resounded through his ears.

The gaze of dozens of students who were near Lucius were drawn towards him. Their stares were like sharp knives pointing towards Lucius who was stabbing him.

"Hahahah!, trash is always trash. He knows that's probably the reason that he isn't going. Haha!" Asher laughed like a lunatic as he looked at Lucius.

When Lucius heard that, rage covered his entire face.

"Whatever, I will just fight him to the best of my abilities.

I believe that there is no way that I am going to lose with all these abilities that I have acquired" Lucius thought to himself.

Lucius began to walk towards the Divinity, those who were trash-talking were now silent. As he walked towards exam grounds, a notification flashed in his retina.

He halted his steps for a few seconds and read the notification flashing in his retina.

(You have received a D- Grade Chain Quest)

(1. Evaluation exams (First part of the Quest)

Description:

You are taking part in the evaluation exams that will test if you are worthy of being a Divinity. There are various rounds that you will have to pass to become a Divinity. Pass the first round to complete the first part of the quest.

The moment you will pass the first round, the second part of the quest will begin.

Clear condition: Land a hit on the tester or show satisfactory skills.

Rewards: 1000 exp and the second part of the quest will be unlocked

Quest failure penalty: You will fail this year's evaluation exams.)

When Lucius read the notification, a happy look on his face appeared.

"So, I have received my first quest. The 1000 exp that I will receive is sweet but I don't know how much exp is needed to level up.

Regardless, let me just take part in the exams for now" Lucius thought to himself.

Lucius began to walk towards the tester once again. He kept walking for a few minutes when he was a few meters away from the tester.

He halted his steps and looked directly into the eyes of the tester. He gripped the book of creation tightly.

"Get ready, the moment I say start, the match will begin. Like everyone else, I will give you a chance to hit me" The Divinity said.

Lucius just nodded his head slightly, then he took out his sword and began to channel mana into it.

He held the book of creation in his left hand and the sword in his right hand.

"The moment, he will say start. I will first use the summoning spell, then I will charge towards him" Lucius thought to himself.

Lucius kept his eyes focused on the tester, not daring to lose sight of him even for a second.

The tester frowned when he spotted a book that was on his left hand.

"Why does he have a book in his left hand?" The tester said with a frown on his face.

A few seconds later, rage covered his entire face. Veins could be seen on his hand and face.

"He must be thinking that he can take me down easily since I lost to that brat within a second.

Looks I have to educate him a bit" The tester thought to himself.

Lucius frowned slightly when he looked at his angry expression.

"Why is he angry?" Lucius thought to himself.

Little did he know that his being extremely wary of him would be seen as if he was looking down on him.

Just as he was thinking about that, a powerful voice resounded through Lucius' ears.

"Start!!!" The tester said, his voice carrying angry and slight killing intent.

At that moment, Lucius got rid of any excessive thoughts in his mind and began to channel mana into his sword.

A few seconds later, a thick gray layer of mana covered the sword from top to bottom. A notification flashed in Lucius' eyes.

(You have successfully used the skill aura)

Lucius ignored the message, then he let go of the book of creation. Then it began to float in the air.

Everyone who saw the book floating became shocked, including the inspectors.

"It looks like that this fight is going to be very interesting," Longans said to the others.

The other two inspectors and the envoy just nodded their heads while they watched the battle.

"Xin and Luca, do you know how that book is floating in mid-air?" Zoe asked her two close friends.

Luca shook his head, it was understandable since he was a Divine warrior.

"I think he could be using magic to control the book but he is a Divine warrior. How can he use magic?" Xin exclaimed.

Zoe just nodded her head as she kept looking at the battle with great interest.

Lucius didn't even look at the expression of others, the moment the book started to float. He opened the book and began to chant spells as he channeled his mana in his body in a unique way.

"Isn't he a Divine warrior? Why does it look like he is casting a spell?" The tester remarked in confusion.

However, the confusion didn't last for long. Something unbelievable happened.

"What!" The tester shouted in shock as they saw the scene in front of him.

Longan and the other inspectors rose from their seats and looked at Lucius' battle.

"Another prodigy has been born," Longan exclaimed.
