Chapter 80: Getting invited to the strongest fraction
William was completely ignorant to things that was in asmodeus mind as he looked at the pole that stood like a heavenly tower.
"I have to attack this right teacher Adriana?"
"Yes." Adriana said impatiently while rolling her eyes.
"Okay."
William took a deep breath as his golden pupils reflected a strange pattern which emitted an icy aura.
Right in front of William an ice shard appeared emitting a terrifying pressure.
"It's not done yet." William said as he supplied more Qi into his ice spell.
Boom!
Four more ice shards appeared right besides him all floating in mid air with its tip pointing at the pole.
William nonchalantly extended his hands and pointed it towards the pole.
The ice shard with the command of William directly launched itself towards the pole in a terrifying speed.
Boom!
As the ice shard crashed a resounding boom spread in the surrounding area as William watched the screen at the corner with anticipation.
The pole trembled as a thin layer of ice covered it's entire surface however that was only a tremble, it was nothing more than that. The screen right beside it rang with a 'ting' and the number showed up in red colours in the black screen.
"993." Adriana announced in a surprised voice.
"I thought he had just entered the high rank of the mage apprentice, however his strength is already at the cusp of entering the peak rank." she mused to herself.
If one scored higher than two hundred fifty they had the mid rank strength of the mage apprentice with five hundred being the high rank and more than a thousand score was the strength of peak-rank mage apprentice.
William just smugly returned back with a domineering expression on his face.
Adriana looked at the receding figure of William with a frown on her face.
"I should probably make a good relationship with him or at least not his enemies…" her eyes glinted.
"Hahaha, looks like my apprentice trained quite hard." Noah laughed in glee.
As the other elders were entirely silent not speaking a single word, a heavy atmosphere was in the surrounding. However one of the elders' faces was already black with his fist tightened.
"Control yourself." The eight elder took a deep breath and opened his eyes becoming eerily calm.
"I should take these matters in my own hands."
…
It was finally Aur's turn to show his strength as he made his way to the stage with an expressionless face.
"Show your strength, Aur." Adriana said with a cold tone.
"Yes." Aur bowed as he looked at the pole with narrowed eyes, his eyes slowly reflected a circular pattern as the air surrounding him suddenly changed.
He made a grabbing motion in the ground as a small ball of soil was lifted off from the ground.
Aur then willed as the wind gathered around the ball of soil however he didn't stop there instead he slowly closed his eyes, gathering all his focus.
As Aur focused with his eyes closed the started to rotate in a terrifying speed grinding the ball of soil.
Spark!
The flashing of light occurred continuously time and again before the entire ball caught in fire under the astonished eyes of everyone.
Aur slowly opened his eyes as he looked at the boiling hot ball however there was still rustling of wind that was keeping the fire going as it rotated surrounding the fire keeping it all lit up.
He gently throwed the fire ball towards the pole.
Boom!
The fire ball launched itself in the air as it homed towards the pole in a terrifying speed with its fire burning even faster.
Wind boosted the ball to an even faster speed as it became an automatic homing fire ball.
Aur didn't even have to manually control it.
Dong!
The pole trembled as the fireball launched itself.
The temperature surrounding the entire pole increased to a terrifying degree. You could even see the bending of the air in the place where the fireball landed.
The 'ting' sound rang in the screen as the black screen flickered with a red light.
After a long time, the results were shown on the screen.
"346," Adriana announced in a loud voice, nonchalantly, with an uncaring gaze.
Everyone looked at Aur with amazement.
"Not bad for a talent like his; doing just this much can be considered good already."
Adriana frowned, hearing the voices from the crowd. "You can go back, Aur," she said.
"Hey, if you want to join my faction, contact me," Adriana whispered.
Aur looked at her with a strange glint and nodded his head without thinking much about it.
"Next," Adriana announced as Aur left the stage.
After Aur left the stage, he looked at the curious William, who was blocking his way.
"Hmm?" Aur looked at William with a questioning tone.
"What is it?"
William smiled as he casually patted Aur with a smile. "I see a lot of potential in you, Aur. Do you want to join my faction?"
Aur's crimson eyes narrowed to a slit, looking at William with a frown. By "my faction," he meant the leader's faction.
The leader, as the most powerful wizard in the entire village, also had one of the most powerful factions, with it dominating all the other factions altogether.
Aur was a little tempted to say yes almost immediately, however, he suppressed himself.
Although the faction of the village leader was terrifying and vastly more powerful than other factions, that didn't mean Aur would get a piece of the pie.
"I am sorry, William, can you give me more time to think about this?" Aur said with a smile on his face.
"Hmm." William narrowed his eyes, however, he soon shook his head helplessly.
"If you could join our faction, we could have become brothers." He sighed helplessly as he went back.
Suddenly, he saw Amelia in the distance and couldn't help but smile as he followed.
"Miss Amelia."
"Hmm, what is it?" Amelia asked with a frown.
