nThanks to a timely cast spell and lightning-fast reaction, Enni managed to dodge Draven's first attack. Nevertheless, less than one second later, Draven struck again.

nWhoosh.

nThe girl quickly set her brass knuckles to the blow, she intended to sacrifice them to buy some time. To her surprise, Draven's fist stopped and suddenly she felt a pain in her stomach area.

nHe kicked her and from the force of the blow the girl flew aside. Everything happened as usual, one punch and it should have been over, but to everyone's surprise Enni was able to withstand it.

nDraven was not embarrassed that she could still stand on her feet. He knew better than anyone that the student could withstand his blow or not.

nEnni could still fight, but her position really wasn't the best. She couldn't attack on her own, she wasn't fast enough for that, but she could try to dodge another blow.

nWhoosh.

nDraven was instantly in front of the girl.

nBam.

nEnni reflexively reacted and stepped aside. Draven's blow hit the wall of the arena, and there were a lot of cracks coming from the impact site.

nEnni was well aware that Draven would continue to attack. She could dodge the blows and defend herself, but to do so she had to anticipate where Draven would strike.

nWhoosh.

nEven before Draven struck, Enni had folded her arms in front of her and a thick layer of wood appeared on them. She was going to protect her head and she guessed it right.

nBam.

nDraven struck exactly at the head immediately breaking the solid layer of wood with his fist. This could not protect Enni from damage. One of her arms was broken, but she reacted quickly and was able to bounce back several meters.

nShe was the first student who had survived Draven's two blows and still remain on her feet. Some might say she was lucky that Draven had attacked in the head, but it wasn't about luck.

nAt the moment of the attack, the trajectory to Enni's head was the shortest, which is why Draven decided to strike there. His goal was not to let the students last an extra second if they didn't deserve it.

nExperience, reaction, and perhaps luck helped Enni buy some more time. Nevertheless, the end of their duel was near.

nThe girl watched Draven closely, but suddenly he was out of her sight.

nBam.

nThe next moment she felt her ribs break. Any normal person would have been unable to think at that moment because of the pain, but Enni was capable of it and more then that.

nSuddenly the fire on her brass knuckles blazed even brighter and everyone in the arena felt the great heat . This blow would hurt Enni, but she wasn't going to back down.

nBam.

nThe girl hit the ground with all her might and there was a deafening explosion with the crimson flames. The attack was very powerful, but it didn't matter to Draven. His silhouette easily passed through the veil of flame and struck another blow at the girl. That was the end of their duel.

nIt's worth noting that Enni had got the most serious injuries of all the challengers. Her ribs and one arm were broken and she suffered severe burns from her own attack.

nThe flames quickly dispersed into the air. Enni was nearly unconscious, but she managed to hear Draven's calm voice.

n

"Ten seconds, well done, next.

"

nClap. Clap. Clap.

nImmediately after Draven's words, the magicians in the stands began clapping. Enni showed a decent fight, she was able to last ten seconds using everything she had. Moreover, she was also the first to last the required time and became an

"Inner student

".

nThe newbie magicians were extremely surprised by this outcome. They finally saw someone who had passed the exam. But, they knew that they could not replicate Enni's success. They had to find their own way to become

"Inner students

".

nEvan didn't expect Enni to perform as well, but something else caught his attention.

n

nEvan came to the conclusion that ten seconds wasn't the limit.

nAfter the Enni fight, things continued at their usual pace. The students entered the arena and lost in a matter of seconds.

nAs time went on, however, Enni was no longer the only one who managed to last the required time.

n

"Ten seconds, well done, next.

"

nThe one who had lasted was a tall, muscular guy with thick black hair. He was able to pass this test because of his superior protection. He had as many as two spells to armor different parts of his body. Thus, he had been able to withstand four Draven blows before he fell unconscious.

nWhat was remarkable that the second consecutive person to pass the exam, was an

"Amplifier

". Enni was an all-rounder, while the young man was focused on defense.

nMany students already thought that this test was easier for

"Amplifiers

" to pass the exam, but in fact, it was just a coincidence. Everything depended only on the student himself and the next contestant was proof of that.

nIt was Lars Svenningsen, a tall young man with short gray hair and black eyes. He was dressed in a pale blue robe and had two identical silver engraved bracelets on his hands.

nDuring the evaluation, Lars had learned that he was a

"Summoner

" and his

"Warp

" was white. Nevertheless, he looked calmer and more confident than everyone in the arena.

nHe walked over to Draven and said quietly:

"Let's begin.

"

nUsually Draven started the fight, but Lars decided to take the initiative. Moreover, unlike Enni, who was ready for being an

"Amplifier

", Lars didn't bet everything on being a

"Summoner

". He had spells of all three Types of Magic in his arsenal.

nWhoosh.

nImmediately after Lars' words, their fight began. Draven struck instantly, but Lars had no intention of ducking. He quickly cast his spell in response -

nLars's

"Warp

" spun and amber threads instantly appeared around his hand. They quickly transformed into a glowing cube, its temperature so high that the air around it began to warp.

nBam.

nBefore Draven's blow reached him, Lars slammed the cube into the ground with all his might, causing a massive explosion that destroyed part of the arena.

n
