Lily noticed that it was thinned out and only her girls and clone were present who were the only ones who had advanced because Valentina and the others had withdrawn after this competition. She changed back into some normal clothes.
“It was beautiful my lady.” complimented Dio.
"Thanks. I hope you saw my performance live.” Lily said smiling.
They all nodded and started to explain what they felt when they saw her performance and what they could do, and it was a magical experience for them. Lily didn't know if it had the same effect on a screen and if it showed the same illusion, but she could find out later.
When the break was over it was her turn and when she came on stage everyone looked at her expectantly. She had not prepared anything but wanted to improvise.
The judges this time all looked at her very interested and one said, "Show us a hidden talent you have."
Lily sat down on the floor and took out a large piece of white plastic underlay and a white paper and a lot of different colorful pencils and pens. She quickly began sketching the body of a dragon sitting on all fours with large wings with a pencil and then drew its full form. She slowly started drawing all the details and started coloring it with dark colors. She had no idea if it would look like what she planned to draw but she had a good memory and was good at drawing in general.
Half an hour later she stopped and blew on the paper and stood up and placed the drawing on the table. It wasn't really a hidden talent, but she was good at drawing accurately and quickly, so for her it was a kind of talent.
The judges all looked at the drawing and stuck their heads all the way down to it and one of them lifted it up in front of them. It looked like the dragon was alive and its eyes were red, and its body was black. It looked like there was tar that had covered the whole body. It had sharp black teeth and it had dark foam around its mouth. It had large black wings and long claws and horns on its forehead. It looked like evil itself and he suddenly got chills.
"You certainly have a good imagination." he complimented, looking at Lily.
"You have to be abnormal in a good way to have a good imagination." Lily replied, smiling at him.
Suddenly, they heard Celestia shout mockingly, “That's not a talent. Everyone can draw.” and began to laugh coldly.
Lily looked to her right and saw Celestia sticking her head out looking at her with an evil smile on her face. She knew she couldn't win just with her drawing and looked at the judges who had taken her words to heart.
One nodded and cleared his throat and agreed with her, “That's right. Everyone can draw. Do you have anything else to show?”
Lily thought twice and looked at Celestia and said, "Yes but I challenge her."
Everyone held their breath when they heard her and thought they had heard wrong, and some started laughing while others were curious if she could beat the goddess because they had not forgotten her performance from before.
"This is for hidden talents and not a battle challenge." said one of the judges, looking annoyed.
Lily shook her head and said, “You're misunderstanding. I challenge her not in battle but in hidden talents.”
"Sir Judge. We want to see it. It’s something that has never happened before.” said an audience member.
The judges looked at Celestia and said, “Lady Celestia. What do you say?"
Celestia replied coldly, “Of course I accept.” for she was still jealous of what happened in the first contest.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
The judges nodded and one said, "What do you want to show us?"
"Is there an area of dead plants nearby, preferably of different types?" Lily asked.
They all started walking together and soon they were standing in front of a lot of brown fields. Lily checked that one had plants from their world and the other had moon flowers.
The judges looked at Lily and said, "It's about personal talent so skills from the system don't count."
If Lily could create an illusion and was an illusion master, she trusted that people couldn't see her skills either and bet on it.
"Sir Judge. We can challenge each other with skills from the system. Since we are both cleric class, I can do the same as her and even much better. She loses if I can copy the same.” Celestia said suddenly.
“Lady Celestia is right. She has unlocked a Hidden class as a cleric so it’s impossible for her to lose.” said a man.
The judges nodded and said, "You may start."
Lily looked at Celestia and said, "Repeat as I do." and went to the left which had a field with normal plants.
She bent down and activated healing and suddenly a flower began to come back to life. There was a beautiful white rose in front of her.
Celestia smiled and walked over to Lily and took out a white staff and shouted, “Heal.”
Suddenly the whole field started to come alive in different colors.
She looked at Lily and said mockingly, "Too easy." and shook her head.
Lily stood up and went to the left where there were several fields of moon flowers and bent down and kept her right hand on the ground and activated the Flow Master, but no one looked at her hands so they didn't see the white smoke coming out. She activated heal and suddenly the flower began to come to life. She hurried to deactivate the Flow Master. There was a beautiful white daffodil in front of her that sprinkled some silverware.
She stood up and looked at Celestia and said, “My lady. It’s your turn." and pointed to the field.
Celestia didn't look at her at all and walked to the field and raised her staff and shouted, “Heal.” but nothing happened.
She spammed heal several times and other forms of healing spells, but nothing happened either. She began to cast buffs and whatever else she could think of, but nothing happened either.
Minutes later she gave up and looked annoyed at Lily and said, “You must have cheated. Do it again and this time you judges must check if she’s cheating.”
Lily said, "Check if I use skills of the system when I do."
She bent down and put both hands on the ground and activated Flow Master and heal and suddenly a warm wave shot through the entire area that everyone could feel. At lightning speed, they saw a white wave cover all the brown areas and the flowers began to bloom again.
“Wow.” a woman exclaimed loudly, shedding a tear.
“So magical.” exclaimed a man.
Celestia got angry and looked at the judge and said, "Look she cheated."
The judges shook their heads and said, “We scanned her when she used her ability but couldn't detect her using skills from the system.”
Celestia got angry and bent down and saw a white rose with thorns and grabbed it with her right hand and squeezed it because she was shaking in anger.
“Give up Celestia. You’ve lost." Ace suddenly said chuckling.
They turned and looked at Ace who was standing at the very front with William so as not to miss anything.
Celestia stood up and looked at him with mixed feelings. Suddenly she felt her hand tingle and she saw that there were small wounds because she had squeezed the thorns.
“Heal.” she said but nothing happened to shock her.
“Heal.” she said again but nothing happened.
She panicked and used all her healing spells, but the wounds did not heal. As she was about to cast another spell Lily stood up and looked at her. Her hands had white smoke coming out of them and it was only now that everyone noticed.
She walked over to Celestia and said, "Let me try my lady."
Celestia looked around at the people and her eyes on Ace who she thought was looking at her but in reality, it was Lily he was looking at. Seeing his gentle gaze, she gave up and held out her hand to Lily. She hoped he would see her in a better light now.
Lily held her hand over Celestia's hand and activated healing and the wounds healed at lightning speed.
“Unbelievable. You are Mother Nature after all.” said a little girl holding her mother's hand.
Lily looked around and asked seriously, “Is there anyone hurt or anything which the cleric skills can't heal?”
Suddenly people began to gather around her, and they sat down one by one, and she saw that some had strange burns that looked like Aaron's and began to heal them immediately. An hour later there was still a lot that needed to be healed but she couldn't continue as she was in the middle of a competition.
She looked at the referee and apologized and disabled the Flow Master and looked at the crowd and said, “I'm in the middle of a competition. You can contact Rosie from Blue Rose if it is.” and looked at the judges and waited for them to go back to the stage.
They looked speechless and had no words to say and she had even healed one of them. Lily started walking back to the stage then people started following her. She came to make fun of Celestia but instead she ended up healing people.
