[Chapter 121 Comments.]

"Now that the perception and senses tests have finished, it's time we move on to the next test, Physical Abilities. Does anyone want to try?" Theo asked.

The students hesitated. After the first two tests, they knew that even though the bonus point was tempting, it would prove to be fatal if they failed the test due to the lack of information.

After looking at each other, Avalon decided to go this time since Mia took his chance earlier.

"I will go, Teacher." Avalon stepped forward.

"Good. Come inside and I will explain the test."

As soon as Avalon entered the room, Theo's voice echoed, "In this test, you will get three types of points: Strength, Effective Strength, and Technique. You are to attack the thing in front of you with all your strength. As long as it's related to your physical strength, you are permitted to use anything. Of course, weapons are not allowed."

Avalon considered his explanation for a moment before saying, "Alright. Please begin the test."

At that moment, a machine appeared in front of him. This machine had a hard cushion in front of it and Theo ordered, "Strike this thing as hard as you can. No redo is allowed, so use the strength you won't regret."

Avalon nodded with a serious expression. Since it was related to his physical strength, Avalon actually activated his Knight Link to boost his physical abilities.

He gathered all the strength he had into his fist before punching the machine as hard as he could.

Bam!

The punch was so strong that it created a loud sound that startled everyone outside.

It was then that Avalon saw a score appear on top of the machine.

7965.

"Unfortunately, I can't measure your strength as well as a real machine, so I'm just using my own scale which you can compare with your classmates later. And it's time for the next step."

After Theo's explanation, a humanoid robot appeared, matching Avalon's size.

"You are going to fight this robot to measure your effective strength and technique."

Avalon nodded his head and raised his stance. The moment he leaped forward, the robot did the same. So, Avalon punched the robot's fist, causing another number to appear on top of the hand.

8800.

Avalon didn't understand what this number meant and didn't plan to because he soon noticed the incoming kick from the robot, so he hurriedly strengthened his foot, blocking this kick.

2036.

Another number popped out, but he had no time to check it as he continued fighting the robot. Various numbers were popping out, confusing everyone.

However, the representatives behind them actually grasped the concept of this number.

"So, that's what he means by effective strength. Even if you use all your power in the first punch, your effective strength will vary depending on the way you fight. For example, if you are good at using momentum, you can actually exceed that first number. In fact, it can also reduce the impact force when defending to as low as zero." Knight Javier nodded his head in agreement with this method.

"The school's current method only shows brute strength, while the most important one is effective strength. Depending on that score, you can actually see which technique you're currently lacking, showing a more concrete plan for future development." Victoria also acknowledged the testing method.

"I don't think that's all. The technique point is also to measure whether they are deflecting the attack or taking it fully. Depending on the number recorded, you can actually see someone's fighting habit." Duke Reloft frowned because it felt like they were stripped bare with this new method.

"But don't you think it's good? Maybe it will be troublesome to do it in a test, but I think we can use that for a private consultation or self assessment where only the student and his mentor have access to the recording and data." Baold had a different opinion than Relofth as he saw this method more positively.

"That's indeed a good idea. And even if you are using your essence to fight like a magician or something, you still need some combat lessons since people like them are an easy target for an assassin. They have to learn close combat techniques to protect themselves." Spirit Elaine also acknowledged this method.

Theo had always wanted this kind of technology when he was just starting in the past. But it seemed that his students were going to be the first to get this technology.

After fighting the robot for three minutes, the exam was over.

"That's all you have to do inside, next person please," said Theo while gesturing for the next student to come in.

Surprisingly, Li Wei was actually the one who got the highest score in this test. His technique surpassed that of Avalon even though his strength was slightly lower than his. While Li Wei failed the written exam, he showed that he was good at the practical exam.

But what was even more shocking was that Serena was ranked seventh in this test. Since the potion wasn't considered a weapon, she managed to amplify her physical strength with it and avoided getting the last place.

Oliver was the one who got the last place in this test.

The next test became more unpredictable as Theo said, "This is the last test you're going to take one at a time. I'm going to test your control over your ability and essence. Anyone want to test?"

"Me, me!" Mia was excited for this as though she was good at this test. Among the students, she was actually the only person who became everyone's test subject twice.

"In this place, there will be five monsters appearing in succession. Defeat those monsters with your abilities and control. You are free to use anything. While there is a timer, don't forget about the test's purpose."

Mia considered Theo's explanation before summoning a teddy bear. "Let's go!"

"Oh my, a cute teddy bear. Is she going to control that teddy bear to fight the monster?" Spirit Elaine couldn't help but smile when watching this kid.

"You can't say that. I don't know what she is planning to do, but her ability is more unique than you think." Victoria warned her as she was the only one who had seen Mia's ability.

Mia's First Authority, Deception. If someone thought it was correct, then it would be incorrect.

And people actually thought that this cute teddy bear was Mia's summoned creature that would fight alongside her, but that was when Mia actually showed them the true purpose of the teddy bear.

When she extended her hand to the bear's back, a zipper appeared and Anna pulled it down, showing a space inside.

"!!!" The representatives were taken aback. Mia actually wanted to fight inside the teddy bear as armor?

The teddy bear raised both hands as Mia's voice echoed from the inside. "Muahahaha! Time to beat the enemies!"

"Alright. Let's begin the test!" Theo smiled as though he had expected something like this.

A monster soon appeared before her. The first monster was a kobold. It was staring at her with killing intent, but Mia actually moved before the monster was completely summoned.

By the time the summon finished, Mia had already reached the kobold and struck its stomach.

"Ao?!" The kobold's expression turned into shock as it crashed into the wall.

"Hahaha. What a clever girl. She actually closed their distance during the summoning time. In the real battlefield, your enemies aren't going to wait for you anyway." Commander Rafthar chuckled.

But the surprise wasn't over yet. The second monster was actually a cyclops. Its height reached up to four meters, so Mia had to jump if she wanted to reach the eye.

Still, Mia didn't forget what Theo said earlier. The purpose of this test. That was right, they were testing her control, meaning that they would have to use their ability to strike an enemy's weakness so that they could defeat them with the least amount of energy.

In other words, Mia had to jump if she wanted to kill the cyclops, which would take a bit of time. And the cyclops might attack her during that time, so Mia chose to do what she did the best—Playing!

Instead of jumping, Mia actually rushed to the cyclops body and gave an uppercut. People thought she was going to strike the cyclops' stomach, but Mia actually went beyond everyone's expectation and actually struck the cyclops' crotch.

"!!!"

All people except Theo dropped their jaws to the ground.

"She…"

"Did she just…" Even the representatives were speechless. They would never think that Mia would strike that area, but when they thought about it, that area could also be considered a weakness.

And due to that pain, the cyclops ended up falling to their knees, not being able to endure that pain. It ultimately brought his eyes directly to Mia.

She didn't hesitate to take this opportunity and struck the eye while shouting, "It's your fault for being too tall! Hehehe!"

She showed no remorse. In fact, it seemed that she was having fun in the fight.

"She is truly a devilish child." Demon Possessor Silva shook his head helplessly. "With a father like that, I think I understand why she can do something like that."

"But that method is effective." Spirit Elaine praised her but she still covered her eyes as if she wanted to forget what she had just seen.

"Yeah, but it's painful, you know." Commander Rafthar said with a pale face as if he were experiencing the pain that the cyclops had right now.

Since Theo was the calmest one, he summoned the next monster. This time, it was a stone golem. If they learned it correctly, they should be able to find the core inside the golem, but the position was random, so they had to test it.

But this would use a considerable amount of essence and Mia had no other way to identify it. Hence, there was only one thing to do.

Mia actually formed a hammer that usually lets out a whistling sound when hit. It made people think Mia was just playing with the golem and using that sound to find the core.

To everyone's surprise, Mia actually hit the golem from above and crushed it as though the hammer was actually hundreds of tons in weight. It reduced the golem, including the core, into rubles in an instant.

Her fighting style was so absurd that they couldn't imagine how to stop her without enough information about her. She was playful but everything she took out was deadly. The representatives thought they could overwhelm her with their power, but when Mia reached their levels, they would be stunned by the amount of ridiculous stuff she would bring out.

Mia stood on top of the golem while laughing playfully, "Hahahaha! Who is going to play with me next?"
