She walked toward the roadside, but it felt like she had bumped into a wall.
"It hurts, it hurts."
Erica rubbed her shoulder where she had just bumped into the 'invisible wall' and looked at the other side of the air with some surprise.
It was all dense jungle, yet it was completely isolated.
"Is there no other way, only this one?"
This unique exam gave her a sense of novelty.
It felt as if I were in a mysterious space.
As she continued walking, a ray of sunset light pierced through the trees and fell into Erica's eyes.
It is an export.
She took two quick steps and rushed out of the dense forest.
"here it is....."
She looked around at the endless plains, where the yellow foxtail grass swayed like waves in the breeze.
Just then, a mound of earth at Erica's feet began to move.
A yellowish-brown monster suddenly burst from the ground and leaped towards Erica's face.
The monster's body resembled a groundhog, but its tail had a flower-like appendage attached to it.
Several hairy rat heads sprouted from its long neck, emitting strange chirping and cawing sounds.
But what surprised Erica the most was...
At the very top of its head, there is a duck's beak.
"Is this... a mouse or a duck...?"
Seemingly having heard Erica's doubt that she was a duck, the monster became somewhat angry and swung its body towards Erica.
Erica twisted her body and took a few steps back. The monster missed its target and ate a lot of foxtail grass.
Not to be outdone, it waved the flowers behind it and attacked Erica again.
Second-tier magic: Fireworks
A red array rapidly formed in her hands, and suddenly two pillars of fire shot out from Erica's hands.
The attacking monster was burned to ashes in an instant.
"Hmph, weak."
Erica clapped her hands, and the charred monster was instantly swallowed back into the earth.
"That's it?"
Unlike other students, Erica has practical experience.
She had killed many fire-type monsters on Mount Vesuvius before.
These monsters are considerably weaker compared to those on the volcano.
Erica knew that the monster's strength had been deliberately controlled to accommodate all the examinees, but this made her feel much more at ease.
Although we don't know exactly how Professor Victor controlled the monster, this kind of test is very interesting.
Erica continued walking forward, and a second wave of monsters appeared in front of her.
Two rat-like ducks burst out of the ground and attacked Erica again.
But this time there's another type of monster.
From that distance, a tiny black dot flew towards Erica at high speed.
A bat-like creature flapped its four tattered, silver-screen-like wings, riding the breeze as it spat out three spurts of black liquid at Erica in succession.
Erica flipped over, passing the two rat monsters.
In the instant of takeoff, he spun around, dodging the black liquid, stepped on the bat's back, and leaped backward.
Two spells were simultaneously constructed between the hands.
[Second-Tier Magic: Waterfall Whirlwind]
[Second-Tier Magic: Fire and Smoke in the Sky]
One red and one blue, two spells appeared simultaneously in her hand.
As soon as she finished speaking, Erica stretched out her arms toward the body falling to the ground, and the two spells intertwined and flew toward the three monsters.
boom!
The intense heat and the bursting water droplets shattered many of the surrounding waves of grass.
A burnt smell slowly rose up.
Erica landed smoothly on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she had trained for a period of time in her father's 'magician legion' and was able to perform a series of relatively flexible movements.
If she hadn't controlled the flying bat beforehand, she probably would have suffered a setback here as well.
The combination of two types of monsters, alternating between close and long range, is quite dangerous.
Erica rested for a moment before continuing forward.
Her intuition told her that the third wave was coming.
Sure enough, three duck-billed rats suddenly sprang up from the ground, which was the name she had just given to this monster.
This time, their actions were different from the previous two waves, becoming incredibly swift.
Erica focused her attention when a bat flew rapidly from afar.
"No! There were definitely five monsters!"
Erica's sixth sense told her that something was completely wrong, and the hairs on the back of her neck suddenly stood on end.
She turned around and saw a huge flying mosquito swooping down towards her.
The flying mosquitoes seemed to be wrapped in wooden vines, their entire bodies appearing to disappear into the greenery.
Without careful observation, this skillful predator would be completely unnoticed.
"really!"
Erica took a large step to the side, dodging the platypus's attack, and then conjured a flame in her hand, striking the oncoming mosquito.
The flames ignited the moment they touched the monster in front of them.
She rolled away to avoid the danger behind her.
The burning mosquito suddenly flapped its wings, and the flames on its body immediately went out.
"Tsk."
This time, the monster is much stronger than before.
Erica realized this, so she stopped holding back.
A bright, emerald-green light shone from her chest, instantly enveloping the surrounding demons.
The power of inheritance.
Having gained this power, Erica is no longer the same as before. The powerful natural energy has made her strength no longer limited to those simple second-tier magics.
As the light gradually faded, it was as if a seed had been planted in the bodies of those monsters, causing them to sprout and bloom suddenly, with sharp branches piercing out from their bodies.
The monsters lay silently beneath the fading sunset.
The corpse slowly dissipated along with the wooden vines, and a green portal gradually lit up behind Erica.
A wisp of writing burst into flames from the air and illuminated Erica's face.
[You've passed the test. Would you like to continue the challenge?]
This means Erica has finished her exam and can now leave to take exams for other professors.
but……
She didn't want to be satisfied with just that.
"Keep the challenge going."
Once Erica made her decision, the portal disappeared.
She turned around and found herself in front of a lush green path, which looked peaceful and harmonious in the sunlight.
The flowers around the path swayed in the breeze, seemingly rejoicing in Erica's courage.
She took a deep breath, stepped through the waves of grass, and continued walking deeper into the path.
