Emma's Break

"Lyra, do you need me to tell you what to do?" Emma asked the black beast on her shoulders.

Lyra shook her head.

"Good," Emma said. "Go win."

The 3 months test was surprisingly a small tournament between all the beasts that every student in the Institute had brought along. It was a test to see how strong they were and how well the students did with them.

Emma simply crossed her arms and watched as Lyra, having recently entered the Essence Manifestation realm, easily defeated the Gray fox that she fought. The fox was weaker altogether, so it could not come up to Lyra's strength.

Emma and Lyra moved away, letting others fight. Betty's turn was soon and she joined.

Betty's beast was a meter-long red centipede with two long glowing crimson gems on its forehead. The Rubyhead Centipedes were one of the rarest beasts in the entire world. They were so rare, that even most people who learned about beasts wouldn't know what it was.
