~Andria's side~
Sapphire and I made it to the training center. Once we got there I see the person who is in charge of our exams and a line of people waiting for the exam. We line up at the end of the line.
"Next set!"
A group of ten goes in and we reach 2 from the front of the line.
Isis started explaining what the rank exam is. It is really basic. It is a battle with a C rank adventurer and the examiner decides if you pass or not. We won't have any issues according to Isis.
"Next set!"
We walk in and the arena is a mess except for a circle where the examiner is. He is an older human looking man wearing a light set of armor made of Wyburn skin.
"Let's start, I'm not the normal examiner I'm a retired A rank adventurer. Names David. I just finished the B rank test so I'll give you the same test. You'll attack me and if I'm impressed you'll pass."
I volunteered to go first I pull out a Naginata and a dagger to dual wield them. I take a stance to give me the most possible power in a single blow. I lower my body and cast {Body Enhancement}{Polar Enhancement} and {Boost}.
"Start!"
I dash forward. I can tell that trying to trick him and control where his attention is or trying to find an opening. So I go straight forward and I send out a simple trust at the same time using half of my mana to strengthen my body. I also condense all the mana that leaves my body into a point in front of my spear to eliminate all the waste.
My spear hits the barrier he put out. The ground explodes the wind blows away everything. I jump back preparing to see the result of my attack while making sure not to have an opening.
"HAHA Impressive, You pass."
After the dust settles I see an old man standing there with a huge smile on his face without a single wound. I could have pierced most sub-dragons and killed them in that single attack. He still is untouched he doesn't even have dust on him.
Did he use a barrier? But I didn't feel mana from the casting of a spell. so this is the gap that I and Sapphire need to close.
I leave the area and sit to watch Sapphire's test.
~Sapphire's side~
Andria's fight was a beautiful show of power inside a single strike I'll reward her later.
I walk up to the examiner and pull out a Warhammer twice my own size.
"Start!"
I cast {Polar Enhancement}{Weight Up-Activation Type}{Boost-X5}{Physics Enhancement} and dash right into his face and swing right down onto his barrier. Activating {Weight Up-Activation Type} increasing the power of the blow by a 50x total. instead of making a huge explosion a high pitch squeal comes from the mysterious barrier.
Then I'm blown backwards so I store my hammer and do a flip to kill my momentum. While dust and stones are throne from where I was.
After The dust cleared I see an unharmed old man cover head to toe in the dust with a huge smile. The barrier has a small hole in it.
"cough cough… Well done, you managed to actually damage my barrier. You pass."
I bow respectfully and go meet with Andria and see her with a bitter smile.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
We go to get our Guild cards updated and start a party.
"What should we call our party?" Andria asked me with a look on her face showing that she isn't sure that she should listen to my answer.
I decided to say the first thing that came to my head "Yuri Love A+S"
...Why is Andria face palming?
"I'm not going to respond to that. You now what, our party name will be 'Floating Roses'."
Andria said while blushing and throwing playful punches.
We get our updated status cards back and meet with Isis and Andria asked her.
"So, It's still early so would you like to take a request?"
Seeming a bit surprised she had a bit trouble responding but she managed.
"Yes please! Could we take a subjugation and some permanent requests."
"Yes pick out the requests so we can do them. Prioritize fastest possible completion rate."
"Alright, let me see..."
She picked all subjugation requests. She picked wolf, goblin, kobold, and orc requests.
Isis sounded a bit excited when she told us. "Well, lets go!"
We leave the Guild and head off to do our full request.
