Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva
Chapter 98: Chapter 56 Farewell Before Departure_2

The experience of challenging on the field and watching the battle is entirely different. The tiger, seeming to rapidly expand in view, charged towards her in just 2-3 seconds, leaving Hexia with no time to command before the fight began.

Fortunately, the understanding between a person and a snake had been well established. A dazzling flash erupted in the arena, temporarily blinding the Phantom Crystal Beast, or whatever was manipulating it from behind.

"Now," shouted Hexia amidst the white light, "Scorching Ray!"

An orange-red thin beam of light streaked across the battlefield, aiming for the distant rear, and when the shining light gradually faded, the audience saw the Phantom Crystal Tiger lying on the ground, its body split in two by the scorching ray, shattered into chunks scattered on the ground.

This should be enough, the girl thought.

"Congratulations to Student Hexia for passing the first minor challenge."

After announcing the completion, the staff asked Hexia if she wanted to attempt the second challenge. Upon receiving an affirmative response, three Crystal Cores emerged from the device beneath the arena, and then activated into three Phantom Crystal Beasts.

When the next flash of light shone, the observing students learned their lesson and covered their eyes, waiting a while before opening them.

Taking advantage of the brief moment the enemy couldn't attack, Hexia commanded the small snake to shoot down a hawk in the sky, but the Indigo Snake had little Magic Power left. If she wanted to fire another Scorching Ray, it would require a delay of several minutes.

In the arena, the remaining tiger Phantom Crystal Beast charged towards the small snake while the swift wolf pounced toward Hexia.

If she used her Freezing Crystal-related ability now, it would be easy to crush them, but needlessly revealing it seemed a bit unnecessary, Hexia shook her head and used the Withering Sequence's unique attack method.

She closed her eyes to concentrate, then opened her pale blue eyes that rippled with a deep blue luster. When she fixed her gaze on the swift wolf, a Mental Shock immediately made the Phantom Crystal Beast become dazed, stiffening up before toppling over onto the ground, sliding forward.

Avoiding the tumbling impact of the swift wolf on the ground, Hexia followed up and put her hands on its body. A halo of light emerged.

Soon, the swift wolf calmed down and stopped struggling, its body breaking into chunks that scattered on the ground.

"That was the Withering Sequence, right? It's quite rare," someone said.

"That technique, although it seems gentle, can sometimes be quite frightening," another commented. Your next chapter awaits on m v|l--NovelFire.net

"The final gentleness... I've always wanted to say, watching a Withering Sequence doctor perform surgery is like attending a dinner party, it feels odd," someone joked.

"But it's also very impressive."

On the other side of the battlefield, the Indigo Snake and the tiger Phantom Crystal Beast were fighting fiercely. Despite being covered with a layer of Crystalline Scale Armor, the ferocious gnashing and tearing still shattered its layers and sprayed it with thick Crystal Sand, slowing it down.

Watching the battle from afar, Hexia slowly raised her hand. Then, the luster in her eyes flickered, and the Phantom Crystal Beast suddenly stiffened, its actions becoming sluggish.

It was unfortunate that at this distance, she couldn't quickly rush over. The girl silently thought to herself that she could only command the small snake to escape from the tiger's gaping maw and swim towards her.

After a few breaths, the tiger Phantom Crystal Beast recovered, shook its head, and then began searching for its target again, turning its body around.

It started its second charge with a surge of momentum.

But now, Hexia was holding the Indigo Snake in her arms, clearing the Crystal Sand from its body.

Slowly the gem on the snake's forehead recharged, countless points of Magic Power converged from the atmosphere, making the gem dazzlingly brilliant.

Then, another orange-yellow ray shot out, piercing through the charging tiger. Its body was torn in half; albeit it didn't split completely, it was still enough to kill it.

As the three Phantom Crystal Beasts turned into pieces, the staff announced the clearing of the second challenge.

"Congratulations to Student Hexia, do you wish to attempt the third minor challenge?"

"Let's have a look," the girl tilted her head. The Indigo Snake was already exhausted; challenging the third round was almost impossible now.

So, the environment within the hall changed again, and a larger Crystal Core emerged, then slowly activated under the focus of five blue beams.

Soon, the contour of a roughly five-meter-tall figure emerged, finally forming into a proud, large snake.

It raised its head high, its wide belly sprawled across the ground, with blue-purple tongues flicking out and vertical pupils that struck intimidation. Compared to it, the small snake in front of it could coil around but still not match the thickness of the large snake's neck.

Primordial Sequence 4: Phantom Crystal Giant Snake (Standard Radiant Gold Level)

Facing the giant snake, Hexia had to shake her head, certainly unable to defeat it; there was no need to continue trying.

"I concede."

"Hexia, your final score is 22 points." The extra 2 points were for being the first to reach the third checkpoint.

"That's the highest score so far."

"Impressive, impressive."

"But how does one pass that giant snake? It seems intended for those special geniuses."

The students buzzed with discussion, while Hexia walked out of the combat area holding the small snake.

"Hexia, you were amazing!" Mianna ran over, hugging the large crab.

Afterward, the two filled out forms under the guidance of staff members. With that, the re-examination was almost over, and it was time to part with their two companions.

"Although it's only been one day, I suddenly replace it hard to let go," Mianna said, as she stroked the cold back shell of the blue crab in front of her.

"If we can come here to study, we should be able to meet them again," Hexia consoled her.

"That's right, if you enter the Academy later, the partners from the re-examination will also be rewarded to you," a girl in a black and red uniform approached, the student council president they had seen earlier in front of the Star Heaven Hall, followed by two student council members wearing white.

Hexia and Mianna stood up and faced their senior.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Vitelina, Yuanting Academy's student council president, and a third-year top student," she said, extending her hand.

"My name is Mianna."

"I'm Hexia."

Guided by Vitelina, the three walked into the quiet Star Heaven Hall, where the floating light orbs had been removed, and the deep blue floor, like a starry night, was coated with a faint gold in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Let's sit over there," Vitelina suggested, pointing to a bench in the hall, close to the giant painting of the Angel and further inside.

The two council members stayed put while the three girls walked over and sat down. Vitelina was the first to speak.

"Hexia, your results are quite good."

"Not at all, I just performed a bit above average this time," the girl hastily waved her hand.

"Hehe, a bit shy, are we?" Vitelina chuckled. Despite her youthful appearance, her demeanor was quite mature.

"Well, I won't tease Hexia anymore. On to more serious matters, would you be interested in taking a position in the student council after you enroll?"

"Well, I'd probably have to wait until after I've enrolled to decide," she replied. She had just undergone the re-examination and hadn't even received her acceptance letter, so it felt a bit premature to consider it.

"With such good results, there's no way you won't get accepted," Mianna encouraged from the side.

"Thank you," Hexia said.

"You really are cautious, aren't you?" Vitelina said, smiling.

"Let's wait for the acceptance letter then. But personally, I'm quite fond of you, Hexia. I saw most of your performance during the assessment."

Faced with such direct praise, the girl felt somewhat flattered and uncertain how to respond. Surely, she couldn't just slap her chest and say, "Yes, I'm that outstanding," as that would be incredibly immodest.

"Well, it's not really that special," she said, glancing away modestly.

"Hehe, still so charming," Vitelina laughed, covering her mouth, then seemed to remember something.

"Since you've come so far for the re-examination, let me give you some souvenirs before you leave."

In the time that followed, Vitelina chatted with them more and then had her colleagues bring over two large boxes, handing them to the two girls.

"It's getting late; I suppose you need to hurry back or rest, so I won't keep you any longer."

Before they left, Vitelina saw them off in front of Star Heaven Hall.

"Well, see you next time, goodbye~" She waved her hand, standing elegantly as she bade them farewell.

"Goodbye~"
