Chapter 93: Chapter 93 Mock Battles Part 05.

While radiating a turbulence of natural Mana around her, Hina keeps her gaze straight as the surrounding mana under her control. However, she is currently in a strange state where she can manifest that much power despite only stepping her feet into intermediate rank in mana manipulation.

Such a feat usually happens when the person has mastered the intermediate rank level and almost breached the advanced realm.

Hina kept her mind calm, but her heart was filled with the intense heat of boiling rage that she managed to suppress, and she was ready to burst it anytime.

"Impressive, Claire. I leave it to you".

"...Huh?!".

Lee, who saw the mana that was undulating around Hina, sighed in amazement. He turned his gaze to the back and opened his mouth to inform the female teacher, holding the terminal while observing Hina with interest.

"...Fine, it's time to exchange seats".

"I leave it to you".

The two teachers began to raise their feet and exchange places with each other. Currently, the one who stands in the arena is the female teacher whose name is Claire.

Hina, who was caught off guard by the development, went blank for a moment. Because of that, the surrounding mana in her body was stirred. It swayed uncontrolled and almost on the brink of explosion.

Seeing the state Hina was in, Claire knitted her brows. She raised her hand, then with her superior control upon mana. The stirred mana gradually began to calm down as it returned to the atmosphere, dissipating along with the loose control over Mana that Hina did.

"That was close. What do you think you are doing? If I am late even for a fraction of a second, the mana around you will trigger and explode".

Claire, with knitted brown, opened her mouth in protest at the mistake the candidate had almost done. She is in her mid-twenties with short red hair and round green eyes. Claire wears a uniform prepared for a teacher in the academy, which consists of a black suit with a golden lining. For the lower part, she wears skirts that cover her tights to the knee.

She also wears a black stocking to cover her exposed skin and a pair of black heels.

However, Claire tilted her head, seeing Hina was in a dumbfounded state.

"...Why?".

"What is the matter?".

"Why did you switch places?".

"Ah?! Sorry that muscle-brain over there didn't tell you, guys, beforehand. Okay, let me explain. The purpose there being two people in each arena was to test the candidates who excel in a certain aspect".

The other candidates raised their brows as Claire began to explain the situation.

"As you already know, that guy over there is the one who is responsible for testing your physical or martial abilities, and as for me, I will test your candidates who excel in the magic field".

Hina's body twitched as she heard the teacher's explanation. To think that the test will be separated into two categories. She was at a loss for words, and the boiling rage in her heart dissipated. At first, she tried to give the male teacher some lessons, but now her circumstances have changed.

She turned her gaze down while sighing in annoyance.

"Have you calmed down?".

Hearing Claire's clear voice, Hina starts to regulate her breathing to calm her racing heart and stirred mind. After several times doing it, she opened her eyes and turned her eyes forward, facing Claire.

"...Yes, I am calm now".

"Good. Now, you understand the rules, so let's start with your test then".

As soon as Claire finished with her words, the surrounding temperature around her spiked up, and a small spark emerged before it turned into a firetail that swirled in the air before it took shape into multiple long sticks with sharp tips and mimicking a feather on the other end.

Hina knitted her brows, for she saw the spell activated in such a fast time. She began to concentrate and gather some mana in her hands.

"...Too slow".

Claire swung her hand to the side, and one of the fire arrows floating around her shot forward in a flash. Noticing the incoming arrow, Hina keeps gathering mana in her hands, and she leaps to the side to evade the incoming arrow.

After she had enough in her arsenal, Hina unleashed her spell. Her surroundings air began to distort, and the temperature rose. A brilliant spark emerged before it turned into a firetail and condensed itself to form a fire arrow. She spent thirty mana on each one frorm the dozens of arrows she created.

[MP: 550/910]

"..Pretty fast, but. Hm?!".

Without waiting for the teacher's response, Hina unleashed every arrow she had in possession, and it made the teacher confused about the reckless behavior she had made. Claire launched one after the other of her fire arrows to intercept them while also observing the magic her opponent had.

The moment their arrow classed, Claire's fire arrow was swallowed by Hina's arrow, for it has a lower mana density. It's true, though, because she only put ten mana in her creation of Fire Arrow.

In the battle between mages, there is this thing called 'Lodets' or 'Low density get swallowed'. It was a theory that the mage in this world amplified when the same element of magic clashed, creating a phenomenon where the lower density mana will get swallowed by the bigger one.

Claire, who notices it, acts fast as she creates another spell to intercept the incoming fire arrows. Contrary to her thought, Hina clapped her hands, and the arrows that she launched burst apart, creating a huge black dust that covered Claire's surrounding sight.

However, this was a bad idea which Hina did. Claire, as one of the teachers in the Hero Academy, has far higher mana manipulation control in her hands. She could noticed a slight change of mana in her surroundings even though her eyes couldn't see it. Hina was preparing another spell like earlier, creating a dozes of fire arrows.

Claire began to raise the density of mana in her hands. She extended her right hand forward and cast her next magic.

"That's naive. I know where you are, so let's end this.. Fireball".

The temperature around her started to rise more, and Claire even had to sweat for the heat that gathered around her. Multiple firetails began to undulate around her, creating a numerous mass of balls that were borned from the flame. Each and every one of those contained a mana density of more than fifty from her mana pool.

"With this, Hm?!".

After she finished preparing her magic, Claire noticed a slight movement from the other side. All of the fire arrows created by Hina detonated from their place, creating confusion for the disrupted mana in the air. Claire knitted her brows, wondering what was on the candidate's mind for doing this.

Hina, once again, created some magic and detonated it over and over until her mana pool was almost emptied. Because of that, it creates a turbulens of disrupted mana in the surrounding atmosphere. As it was in disarray and making Claire sense disrupted for a moment.

"What is she thinking?".

Claire, who still kept her magic while being covered in the black clouds, peered her eyes open for the incoming attack. She turned her body to her right, for she felt a slight fluctuation of mana from there.

"Gotcha".

However, her body jolted, for she heard a voice that came from her left side. Quickly, she turned her body only to feel a chilling and hard sensation that pressed against her neck that stiffened her body.

"What?! A blade?".

"Yeah, it is".
