Chapter 189: Fifth Round - Actual Battle Test (Part 1)

He immediately approached him and, upon seeing it by himselves, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Four Incriptions, two Level 3, and two Level2 Incriptions. Indeed, a pseudo-spiritual artifact. To think we’d see a first-year artificer with the talent for artifact refining. Is it Rasler Yoder from the Yoder family?" the older instructor inquired.

"No, it’s Amalia Vanquez."

The older instructor suddenly understood, "The one who scored full marks in the first round exam, Amalia Vanquez. Initially, i thought it was just luck, but it seems like Rasler Yoder has encountered a formidable opponent this time."

"Isn’t this quite good then? It could prevents the Yoder family from constantly thinking the artifact refining college is belongs to them, and controlling it at their will. They probably won’t be able to avoid Yesemia Yoder’s incident to happend again anymore," the younger instructor smugly remarked.

The older instructor didn’t refute his words, he just smiling and said, "Perhaps it’s not impossible. This girl shown such potential when she still in the first-year, which slightly better than Michael Wang back then. It seems like the Yoder family’s reign is nearing its end. I remember Professor Frans was her teaching instructor; this matter needs to be reported."

"Understood."

Amalia was advanced.

Only by passing the final round will it be known who is the top first-year student in the artifact refining college.

Apart from the computer exam in the first round, the specific results weren’t disclosed for the subsequent three rounds.

Thus, the people wouldn’t know about Amalia’s performance until it reach the final round.

Many student still favored Rasler Yoder, whose talent is obvious to all student.

Mighel Zepeda and Elena Sandoval, along with a few others student, purposely skipped their afternoon classes to come and cheer for Amalia.

Elena Sandoval and Douglash Valentina even made a banner with a message asserting that Amalia is the top student of the artifact refining college.

Although it was well-intentioned, it seemed rather foolish.

Mighel Zepeda noticed the disdainful glances from those student around and didn’t want to stand with them anymore.

These two fools, they didn’t even notice that Amalia was originally about to coming over, but because they pulled the banner, she did not come.

When the time for the fifth round exam arrived, those student who reached the final round were led into a spacious room.

A middle-aged instructor came out to explain the rules for the fifth round.

"The rules for this round are simple: use the artifacts you have been refined in the fourth round to battle against the academy’s representatives. If you can last for ten minutes, you pass, but it’s only a bare pass. If you defeat your opponent, your overall score will be higher."

There was a murmur among the crowd.

Such a test had never been administered before.

A student immediately raised their hand.

"Instructor, aren’t we an artificer? Why do we have to go through this?"

The middle-aged instructor’s expression turned cold, "What’s wrong with being an artificer? Does that mean you don’t have to fight? When you face monsters in disaster zones, do you think they’ll spare you because you’re an artificer?"

The student blushed and withdrew into the crowd.

"Alright, without further delay, those who has been called, step forward with your artifacts." The middle-aged instructor began to calling the student names, ten at a time.

The ten individuals would then enter the room in sequence, where a black-clad man is already awaited them—he was their opponent for the challenge.

Before entering the room, there was a table at the door with the artifacts they refined in the fourth round placed on it.

Some studeny wore troubled expressions; even though they passed the fourth round, the quality of their artifacts was not that impressive.

Having or not having an artifact didn’t make a big difference.

But what could they do? These were the artifacts they refined by themselves, and it also a part of their own abilities.

Who would dare to claim it was unfair?

Once inside the room, there were ten screens outside displaying the battles inside the room.

Amalia wasn’t in the first batch.

She noticed that the middle-aged instructor was calling by student ID, and hers was towards the end.

The strength of the black-clad opponents was quite evenly matched, with not too much disparity.

In the past, the school used to assign students with a large gap in their opponents due to staff issues.

They believe it was manageable as long they could control their strength within a certain range.

Later, because the controversies was too big, the rules were changed.

Among the first batch was Karina Wences.

She was fortunate to reach the final stage but failed to last the full ten minutes due to the low quality and spiritual aura of the artifact that she was refined in the fourth round.

At the end of this round, only one student barely passed, and that was Isabella Xiao.

When Isabella Xiao come out, her complexion was somewhat pale, but she wore a bright smile.

She even glanced and smiled at Amalia, but Amalia paid no attention to her; and she didn’t care.

The second batch of students was quickly called up.

And only two student who was passed the test after ten minutes,

As if maintaining a certain formation, the third and fourth batches student respectively passed three and four.

One person managed to endure for fifteen minutes before being defeated, which was quite impressive.

However, until now, no one had managed to defeat the black-clad opponent.

Finally, it was Rasler Yoder’s turn.

As the top first-year student of the artifact refining college, every move he made was under scrutiny.

In this exam, if it weren’t for Amalia suddenly refining a pseudo-spiritual artifact in the fourth round, he would have been the first.

Rasler Yoder took his own artifact but appeared inexplicably without showing much excitement as he entered one of the rooms.

People outside are watching his every move.
