The Test

Watching the embarrassed Drexel, Arix chuckled softly.

Arix nodded in approval, then turned back to the platform ahead.

The test had begun. The first little cub slowly made its way to the center of the platform and stood there, waiting quietly.

Everyone's eyes were on the cub, as if expecting something. Their faces were even more nervous than the cub's.

A mysterious energy surrounded the little cub. Then, in a flash, a tiny wound appeared on her forehead.

A single drop of blood emerged from the cub's forehead.

The blood floated over to the forehead of the tiger statue and merged into it like a drop of water into the sea.

Soon, an emblem glowing with red light appeared on the tiger statue's forehead.

Arix hadn't quite figured out what the red emblem meant when the Holy Temple was filled with sighs.

'Does this mean her talent is poor?' Arix wondered, frowning in thought.
