Chapter 29

Most of the participants were already moving in water that was ankle-deep.

The first steps were relatively easy, but the farther someone moved, the harder it was.

Currently, the person closest to the monolith has only walked 16 meters, which meant he had a level 7 Earth-class talent.

At this point, Monica was standing in front of the water and wondering.

- [John, do I have to do something specific.] She asked.

- [You don't have to do anything, just keep going.] He replied.

- [Oh okey.]

After that, she moved on. Most of the other children decisively slowed down after the first few steps and even stopped panting.

In this case, Monica walked steadily as if nothing had affected her, which surprised all the participants who looked at her, including Avelia.

- [Well, she's very talented. I wonder what grade he will get.] Avelia thought, watching Monica move smoothly.

She went through the first nine steps without any problems. Most people expected it to slow down like everyone else after this level.

But, contrary to the expectations of others, it did not have the slightest effect on her.

Even the person who was now the first one who has covered 22 meters noticed this and was already panting heavily.

Suddenly, the monolith emitted four beams of light that were directed towards one of the male participants, who had covered 15 meters.

The light beams consisted of four different colors, with yellow being the thickest followed by white, red and blue.

At this time, everyone stopped watching Monica in this.

As the light hit him, he began to panic when Avelia voice sounded.

"Do not be afraid. This is just one part of the test. If you reach your maximum distance, the monolith will emit light beams that indicate which elements you are compatible with. In your case, you are most gifted in the element of light, then ice, fire and water. It's pretty decent, congratulations. " Avelia said, reassuring the boy.

After 10 seconds, the light dimmed to be re-emitted, but now towards another participant. This time there were two light beams, green and light brown.

From now on, the monolith every moment beams towards the next participants, assessing and talents in the given elements.

The atmosphere turned a bit chaotic and everyone was busy watching the beams of light.

At that time, no one paid any attention to the person who was getting closer and closer to the side of the monolith.

It was, of course, Monica who, after reaching 18 meters, felt resistance for the first time, even though it was barely felt.

Suddenly everyone looked at the monolith as Monica stood next to the person who was closest and reached 24 meters.

This person was one of the most famous talents of the young generation.

He was called Walter Gorf, he came from one of the three main ruling powers on Earth's first continent.

The White Griffin, a great family, which, according to the pilot, had the family of the White Fire Griffin of one of the Legendary Beasts, but due to the thinning of the family, their strength decreased with time and Walter Gorf was to be their hope for reaching new heights.

Therefore, he was promoted from an early age by his family and was sent to the Academy of Nine Heavens to develop further.

But now, before this recently unmatched talent, an unknown person has appeared who is his equal, and possibly even more talented.

Everyone was so shocked that some even forgot to breathe in this Avelia.

[Who would have thought that there would be two unmatched talents on my shift.] She thought, and her humor was very high. After all, the more talents on her shift, the greater the rewards she will receive.

At this point, Monica was paying no attention to anything.

She was now feeling quite a strain that made it harder and harder to take steps.

Even though she felt the weight, it was unimaginably less than what Walter felt, who was breathing hard, and his whole back was wet with fatigue.

He was confused now, he had been called the greatest genius all his life, no one could catch up with him, but now someone he had never seen before was about to cross him.

He didn't want to let that happen.

- [I cannot be defeated, I am my family's hope. I have to reach the top, nothing can stop me] Walter persuaded himself and took the next step with all his strength, reaching 25 meters, but after reaching it he fell to his knees, panting heavily.

There was a wide smile on his face that died after he saw Monica take the same step as well, but without any problems, which shocked him about the rest of it.

His gaze turned from shock to anger. The anger grew, but as Monica took the next step, his anger would completely disappear and despair replaced it.

His worldview that he is the best has collapsed. At that moment he remembered the words his grandfather had told him before he left.

"There will always be someone better, so remember never to be too sure and never belittle your opponents."

- [You were right, Grandpa, there's always someone better.] He concluded.

Currently, Monica was standing on a small island surrounding the monolith and only one meter away from it.

The monolith was sending light as if nothing else, and almost all of them were assessed.

Another light moved towards Walter, it contained as many as six different colors. They were Red, light blue, black, white, purple and yellow.

This meant that he was talented in the elements of fire, lightning, ice, space and light.

Everyone wondered if Monica would be able to make it to the monolith, it was a historic event.

Nobody knew that a group of people was watching this event in secret.

- "Who would have thought that two such talents would appear this year." An unknown voice said.

- "What do you think, will he be able to achieve what only three people in history managed to achieve?" A second voice asked.

- "Looking at how easily she went through the previous step, it is very possible." Another voice said.

- "If she succeeds, it will cause a lot of confusion in the headquarters. After all, everyone who has succeeded before has had a huge impact on the entire continent. " A fourth person spoke.

- "You're right, but that means our enemies will put her in their sights as a serious threat." The fifth person spoke.

- "It will be troublesome, but we have to make sure that she safely reaches the main office and nurtures her there." The sixth person said.

- "We will only worry about that when it reaches the monolith, so let's watch further." The seventh person said, stopping any further discussion.

They were the Great Elders who were stationed in this unit and were currently watching Monica's performance in the test.

Monica stood in front of the monolith and wondered.

- [Shouldn't that be difficult. Others barely take a few steps, which is why it's so easy for me.]

- [Because your talent is unimaginably great and cannot be compared to others.] John told her doubts.

Monica stopped thinking about it and took the last step without any problems, completely shocking everyone. After that, the monolith emitted a light that was directed towards Monica.

It consisted of seven beams of light, and replacing them from those with the highest talent for the elements are lightning, light, ice, wind, fire and water.

The last one was slightly transparent and was wrapped around the remaining bundles in a loop.

It meant that he has a talent for the laws of time and the element of time, which is one of the rarest possible talents and the most difficult to develop.

But once mastered, it was very useful, and it surpassed the other elements and laws in power.

Dealing with time law users was extremely difficult, and even being one level above your opponent, it will be hard to beat.

A moment after the light disappeared above the monolith, 7 figures appeared, emitting a powerful aura, slightly overwhelming the participants present here.

- "Greetings to the Great Elders. What is the reason for honoring us with your presence? " Avelia said with full respect to the Great Elders.

- "Very well done student, Avelia. We came because we saw two promising talents here. From now on, we will deal with two of them. " One of the Great Elders said.

- "But shouldn't there be two more tests?" Avelia asked hesitantly.

- "You do not have to discuss our decisions, these two no longer have to pass further tests, so you can leave with the rest," Replied one of the Great Elders.

- "Sorry for my audacity, I'm leaving with the rest." After these words, Avelia quickly gathered the other participants and left for the rest of the tests, leaving Walter and Monica alone with the Great Elders.

- "Okay, so now we can start in peace." Said the Great Elder who presided over the group.
