Walking towards the receptionist area of the “adventure’s guild”, Anna was already busy with her work as usual…
Wait… Anna? Why is she here?
Alice: Isn’t that Anna? I thought she was working back in “Ares”.
Emyrs: (Shook his head) This isn’t the Anna that we knew back in “Ares”. She looks more sophisticated, her waist is 3mm thinner, her hair is 2 cm longer, her face is a few micrometres bulkier, her height…
Alice: (pouting) Emyrs, you perv-
EmyrsSad [https://www.royalroadcdn.com/public/smilies/sad.png]noticing the death stare from the surrounding women)(chuckled) Opps…
Continuing from where they left off.
Receptionist: Good morning, my name is Eva. How may I help you?
Emyrs: We’re here to take the B rank trial.
Eva: May I have your Adventurer’s card?
Emyrs: Sure. (Handed over 2 copper cards)(gave a smile)You look similar to the receptionist in “Ares”.
Eva: Ah... you mean Anna right? (Emyrs nodded) She is my younger sister.
Emyrs: (blabbed) The cliché fantasy receptionist?
Eva: (puzzled) Pardon me?
Emyrs: (realized) Nothing! Anyway, where do we take our trial?
Eva: (snapped back) At the underground training station. Also, you can take the trial now.
Emyrs walked towards the clearly carved sign shouting, “TRAINING AREA”. Downstairs an old man awaits them- A full plated knight, Garen.
Emyrs: (Speechless)
At this time Garen noticed them.
Garen: (surprised) Hey, it’s you fellows again.
Emyrs: Oh, how unlucky- I mean lucky meeting you again!
Garen: What brings you guys here? (Digging his non-existent hair) Erm… I think it was something about the trials right?
Emyrs: Yeah, our B rank trials.
Garen: (took out a slip of paper from within his sweaty armor, he read it) Just to make sure, you’re Emyrs right and you're Alice, right?
Emyrs: (nodded)
Garen: You guys came from “Ares” right?
Emyrs: (nodded)
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
Garen: And have you guys killed a goblin king in the last few weeks?
Emyrs: (nodded)
Garen: Found you! Yes, you guys are the one I have been waiting for! Come, follow me.
Emyrs & Alice nodded and followed Garen onto an enormous battlefield (Aka: the training ground/area), about the size of a football field), littered with fallen weapons and dried up blood. The battlefield was split into 5 huge parts, blue(water) ,red(fire), green(earth), yellow(wind),each corresponds with their own element.
This would give anyone who uses the same element as the area of training ground that they are in an edge over their opponents. Furthermore, there is also a central area, this center area is very special not only because it takes more than ⅓ of the entire training ground, but also because it has parts of every element (not include light and darkness). The ground is grainy, chunky and muddy, while the air is filled with the dry and blazing gale. The most special part about this center area is that it remains like this all year round.
At this time, they arrived at the center area of the training ground. They searched for a place that was not already occupied by other high-rank adventurers. Yes, I did say high-rank adventurers. This is because only those who are B rank or above are allowed to enter.
When they found one, Garen suddenly took out 4 metallic looking rods and pierce them on the ground, in a 30m by 30m square.
Garen: (firmly) Once the trials start you guys would not be able to leave this segregated area or else… YOU FAIL! Then let's not waste anymore time(unsheathe a rapier from his waist), YOUR TRIAL SHALL COMMENCE! (Charged at them in an agile manner)

Emyrs: (telepathically to Alice) Hold back and don’t show your true power.
Alice nodded understandingly. Emyrs had told her what to do in situations like this. She prepares, so does Emyrs, with a flip of a hand a rustic looking wooden bow with simple carving appeared on Emyrs’ hand.
Garen: (a bit surprise) Hoh? I didn’t expect you to own a spatial bag.
Ranks of spatial bags

Emyrs only smiled. He waited for Garen to come closer… and closer…
Garen: (roars) triple slash!
Garen’s rapier stroked down, his single slash turned into 3 silver arcs, all striking towards a single point.
Triple slash is a common swordsman technique, it was supposed to be a three slash follow up. However, with how Garen not only perfected it but also brought it to a whole new level.
However, before the triple slash could land on Emyrs. Emyrs leaped into the air, pulled his bow fully, the surroundings fluctuated and they began to gather in the bow, forming a translucent arrow.
Emyrs: Triple volley!
The arrow was released, flying at rapid speed, aiming to pierce the heart of Garen (and they say learn how to hold back…). Garen, as a veteran, reacted instantaneously rolling to the side, but at this moment the arrow split into 3 more arrows, blasting through the air aiming for him. He knew that his only option was to stop or destroy the arrow.
Garen: (raises his rapier up high) Chaos tempest!
A frenzy of gale swirls around him barricading himself.
Screech-
Due to the arrow splitting, it splits its power too; thus, making the arrow unable to break the barrier.
Emyrs made a stylish flip before land softly on both feet. However, when Emyrs noticed Garen they were only 5m apart( for speedy guys like Garen it only takes half a second to get there). With Garen assaulting at full speed, defeat seem inevitable, yet Garen was too focused on dealing with Emyrs that he had forgotten that Emyrs wasn’t alone- he had a companion, Alice.
Alice: “O flame spirits, lend me thy majestic power, the power to dominate, the power to stand at the summit of this land- frenzy flame dragons!”
A large magic formation appeared, along with 9 dragons (the Chinese dragon by the way). The 9 dragons rampaged towards Garen, incinerated everything in its path, leaving only ashes behind.
At this scene, Garen staggered backward, he knew that he had hit a wall. He hastily used his ultimate defensive skill- guardian gate. A gate fell from the sky (there is no sky, let’s just say it’s a sealing) and landed hard, causing the ground to tremble. The gate opened up and illuminated the direction it was facing with blinding light.
Rumble-
9 flaming dragons crashed into the gate at the same moment; nonetheless, it was all for naught. The 9 dragons was obliterated into nothingness. The door closes and it starts to fade away…
Garen let loose a sigh, no, half of it. At that moment, he felt a cold and heartless dagger rest on his throat, his face pale white, he knew he had lost.
Garen: (bursts into laughter) Hahaha- I lost! Never would I ever wake up imagining that I would be defeated by a B rank adventurer- and it’s in a B rank trial to add on top of that!
Emyrs: That was only because you weren’t serious at the start, letting your guard down.
Garen: (denies) No, a defeat is a defeat. In addition, there is no way a normal B rank adventurer’s team would be able to defeat me. Well, let’s get your adventurer’s card updated and off we go to celebrating!
