As Elara was walking down the stairs, all participants who had passed the test returned to the audience area, including Lucas.

They had fully recovered, so they decided to see how the test went since staying in the medical room was boring.

"Hmf! She looks so weak and timid. I’m sure she will fail in five minutes!"

"Five minutes? You are overestimating her. Look at her small body! I believe she will surrender in just two minutes."

"She is a weakling! There is no way she can kill that hobgoblin and snake."

Lucas and his lackeys spoke ill of Elara.

Even though she could hear their words clearly, Elara showed no reaction at all because proving her strength was better than arguing with them.

Once she was in the arena, she shifted into her partial transformation and took out her long daggers.

Her entire presence suddenly changed, and her eyes turned sharp.

The shy girl from before was replaced by someone who looked like an experienced fighter, as if the one in the arena was a completely different person. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

After the guardian stopped suppressing them with his aura, the magical creatures immediately ran toward her.

They could not do anything to the guardian, so they shifted their anger to her.

But before they could get close to her, Elara activated the Wings Tempest skill, releasing a powerful whirlwind that shot towards them like a storm made of sharp blades.

The magical creatures were taken aback by her sudden long-ranged skill. They tried to avoid it, but their efforts were in vain, causing them to be thrown into the air.

Since the hobgoblin looked stronger than the snake, Elara dashed toward him and swung her daggers fast and precisely.

*Slash...Slash...

His blood fell from the sky like countless raindrops.

Elara didn’t show any mercy and kept attacking him relentlessly.

The moment his body hit the ground, she jumped at him and pierced his eyes brutally.

"Aaaggghhh..." the hobgoblin cried out in pain.

The pain of losing his eyes was so intense that he immediately rolled back and forth on the ground in agony.

Elara wanted to end the fight quickly, so she launched another strike as soon as he rose to his feet, separating his head from his body in a single clean motion.

*Dug...

His head fell to the ground and rolled several meters.

While the participants were stunned by her skills and cruelness, Elara rushed toward the snake.

Like the hobgoblin, the snake was being beaten up one-sidedly by her.

Elara was a genius and a powerful shifter, so facing a magical beast one-on-one at the same rank was easy for her.

After beating the snake brutally, Elara cut it in two.

*Silent...

The entire area turned into a dead silence.

Not only was she still fine, but she passed the test much faster than Lucas.

She even only had a minor injury, as if what she faced was nothing, but two weak magical creatures.

"Imp... impossible! She... she killed them that quickly!"

"She looks weak and timid. I thought she would surrender shortly after the fight started."

"So strong!"

"So the saying is true! You can’t judge a book by its cover."

"A book?! It should be don’t judge someone by their appearance!"

The onlookers were stunned by what they were seeing since the reality was different from their expectations.

On the other side, Lucas and his lackeys were gritting their teeth in fury.

Of course, Lucas still thought he was stronger than her. She only fought two magical creatures while he faced three.

’Damn it! How could a girl with a weak appearance be that strong?’

The anger within them grew bigger when they saw Ren grinning widely at them.

They wanted to yell at him, but decided against it. Alden was close to them, so it was better to suppress their anger.

"It seems like we’ve got a talented shifter, Lady Cassandra." Isolde, the brown-haired woman on Cassandra’s right, commented.

"Don’t judge too fast," Cassandra replied. "We need to see her performance in facing three magical creatures first."

She didn’t want to feel disappointed the way Ravenna felt about Lucas, so she didn’t show any happy expression.

After all, every member of her organization could kill at least two magical beasts alone.

Ravenna and her subordinates glanced at them briefly. They didn’t say anything since Elara’s achievement was only a little better than average.

"Participant number thirty-seven, do you want to try to face three magical beasts?" Alden asked.

"Yes." Elara agreed immediately.

Alden shifted his gaze to the awakeners in front of the passage and said, "Take out three magical beasts now."

They nodded before finally heading to the cage.

A moment later, three magical beasts stepped into the arena.

One of them was the golden lion who almost killed Lucas in the previous test, while the rest were a white tiger and a red puma.

"They chose a lion and a tiger?"

"This will be an extremely difficult fight for her."

"I agree. And that puma looks strong as well."

"It seems like she will lose the fight."

"Let’s not underestimate her. Maybe, she will surprise us again."

"Yeah. Let’s just watch the fight."

Most of them thought Elara would lose the fight because two apex predators were chosen as her opponents.

While Elara focused on the test, Lucas and his lackeys grinned widely.

Lions and tigers were beasts at the top of the hierarchy, so it was extremely difficult to kill them, especially when she had to face them at the same time.

’Good! Kill her! Tear her body apart!’

They hoped the tiger and the other two beasts would kill her brutally.

The moment the magical creatures charged at her, Elara used the Wings Tempest skill to strike them.

Unlike in the previous fight, her attack didn’t fully succeed.

The tiger and lion managed to avoid it, while only the puma was hit by her strike.

And she could not finish off the puma immediately, as the tiger and lion were charging at her together.

*Roar...

Both the lion and tiger let out thunderous roars, shaking her soul for a moment.

When Elara saw them jumping at her with sharp claws ready to tear her body apart, she quickly protected herself with the Wings Guard skill.

Elara thought of a way to deal with them as the magical beasts attacked her shield continuously.

She knew that she would lose the fight if she didn’t do anything because she didn’t have as much stamina as Ren.

The moment her shield broke into countless feathers, she jumped backwards instantly, putting some distance between them.

But the tiger had predicted her movement, so it used the Tiger Leaps skill and launched another strike.

Bang!

Her body was thrown into the air before finally falling to the ground.

Even though she managed to block its attack, she was still sent flying because the strength of its strike was powerful.

’Dangerous!’

Her eyes sharpened as the magical beasts attacked her from three different directions.

She tried her best to avoid, block, or deflect their relentless strikes, but in the end, she failed because their attacks were too fast and strong.

Boom!

Her body crashed into the arena wall.

The moment her body fell to the ground, the magical beasts jumped at her together, intending to kill her and tear her body apart.
