After some preparations, Serra, Lilia and the rest entered the middle door to test their ability.

"Well now! So a group of girlies arrived eh? Well, this is a feast for my eyes but I ain't holdin back now, you hear?"

Upon entering, they see a large man wearing nothing but pants showing off his chest and muscles while wearing a manly smile.

"Ack!"

"Ah! This man is showing his chest!"

"How shameless!"

Seileen, Aies and Luisa exclaimed.

Serra just nodded.

He's seen many kinds of people...

In the Higher Realms, there were many eccentric people.

Muscleheads like this weren't really a rare sight there.

Lilia went pale at the sight of this man but she stood strong.

"Hohoho! I'm Lezner! Proctor of the Hall of Ability and the who'll be your foe! Any questions!?"

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

He roared.

Serra raised a hand.

"How will the test be conducted?"

"Oho? A man with flowers on both sides!? What a lady-killer! Wahahahahahaha!"

Instead of answering the question, he made a snarky remark about the questioner instead.

"..."

Serra went silent.

"Wahaha, sorry about that boyo!"

He laughed it off.

"Well now, ability is measured by a lot of stuff. Luck, tactics, strategy, techniques, skill, power...etc. But when it comes down to it, it all measures up to ability! In this hall, we test the ability of a team! Pathetic half-hearted tests like the ones in the halls before you can't truly measure up your true ability! The only truest way is the old-fashioned way! And nothing beats actual combat! So, all of on me at once! Wahahahahaha!"

He roared.

"What a muscle-head... I've heard rumors as well as intelligence reports saying he's a musclehead but this is a first for me..."

Luisa muttered.

"Uwah..."

Aies was appalled.

"Nuff said and done! I'll wait for you in the next room! Wahahahahahaha!!!"

Saying so, he entered a door and closed it.

"""................"""

Leaving a silent group behind.

"Wow... This is more than the rumors said."

Seileen spoke.

"Well, we ARE prepared for this, aren't we?"

Luisa said.

"...We shouldn't get demoralized like this. Let's go and put that muscle-for-brains in his place!"

Lilia shouted.

"""Yeah!"""

With that, they pushed forward.
