For a brief moment, Valyr could not help but tense up, slightly wary of what Gabriel was planning to do with the wave of mana he had sent out. Though, once the mana passed through his body and nothing ended up happening, this feeling of slight fear quickly turned into that of confusion as he looked at the man that continued to hover in the air.
In the meantime, the mana Gabriel sent out had returned to him, prompting him to close his eyes as he inwardly nodded soon after. Looking at Valyr, whose expression screamed out that he wanted to know what had just happened, Gabriel went ahead and filled him in as to what he had just done. "The first mechanic of this test is that your opponents shall be the average fighter at the same level as you. The wave of mana I sent out just now allowed me to gauge your current level."
