When Oakland was teleported out of his personal studio, Master Butler stood up excitedly. This sixteen-year-old boy actually completed the production of a lightning element emblem in one go. Although it was only a virtual emblem, it was enough to prove the boy's excellent talent and strength.
"Child, come here." Master Butler said to Auckland with a kind smile.
Auckland also had a good impression of this kind and friendly old man, so he responded with a sincere smile and walked in front of the two masters.
Master Jared took the lightning emblem from Oakland. Its smooth metal surface was covered in a layer of intricate, ornate, deep purple patterns, a shimmering light emanating from them, symbolizing the extraordinary power of the magic pattern. Jared was surprised to discover that this type of magic pattern was something he had never seen before.
"Let's start the test." Master Butler had already taken out the tester and said impatiently.
Master Jared carefully placed the emblem in his hand into the groove of the tester. The numbers on the display screen of the energy tester began to jump wildly, and the final value displayed was 80112GJ.
The energy level has reached A+!
A month later, Master Jared felt that intense heartbeat again.
When Jared pressed the start button of the test properties with shaking hands, he saw the value on the scale bar at the bottom of the tester began to rise rapidly, and finally stopped at 40%.
The attribute level is also A-level!
A double A-rank lightning element emblem! ! ! !
However, elemental emblems are not as easy to detect as enhanced emblems. The specific power and effect of the emblem still need to be tested through actual combat.
Master Butler handed the emblem to the organizer's staff, who then equipped it on a mecha, entered the virtual battle space, and activated the emblem to test its effectiveness.
The two masters stared at the two mechas in the battle space with burning eyes, waiting excitedly for the test to begin.
Finally, the lightning element emblem was activated, and a thick layer of thunderclouds condensed in the air. Then, a dark purple lightning with a diameter of about one meter fell from the sky and hit the mecha opposite, wrapping up the entire mecha.
The lightning caused devastating damage to the mecha. All the circuits and energy drive systems inside the mecha were destroyed by the strong high-voltage lightning, and the super alloy on the surface of the mecha showed signs of being melted by electric heat.
"Such terrifying power..." Just one strike was enough to decide the outcome, which was enough to confirm the terrifying power of this lightning element emblem.
The two masters quickly gave their assessment. With the most difficult lightning emblem, the fastest production speed, and a single-shot success, a double-A test result, and terrifying practical results, he would undoubtedly receive the highest score of the competition. The two masters gave him an exceptionally high score of 95 points, with an additional 5 points to prevent him from becoming complacent and to allow him some room for improvement.
All in all, Auckland has secured a ticket to the finals of the Rookie Mecha Competition team competition.
While they were conducting the test, two more heralds were eliminated after their emblems exploded.
Alvin didn't know that Oakland, whom he had been thinking about defeating, had already won the game in advance. He was still gritting his teeth and insisting on making the emblem. His teeth were trembling because of the severe pain in his brain, and even his body began to twitch, but he couldn't give up. He was just one step away. He had to hold on a little longer, just a little longer!
The three bottles of blue soothing agents he had taken in advance did play a certain role, increasing his tolerance for pain and stabilizing his brain waves. Although the pain was unbearable, he was not ejected from the star network by the intelligent brain.
Finally, when he drew the last stroke with his trembling hands, his eyes rolled back, he fell backwards, and then disappeared from the field.
"What's wrong? What's going on?!" A staff member noticed the movement in Studio No. 2 and rushed in immediately, but there was only a newly formed emblem left in the room, and the person was gone.
"Oh no! This is excessive mental depletion! I wonder if it's caused any serious consequences!" Master Butler frowned and instructed the staff, "Check the identity of this contestant and see where he landed. Send rescue personnel immediately!"
"Yes!" The staff took action immediately.
"Then his coat of arms..." Master Jared noticed the seemingly inconspicuous coat of arms placed on the workbench.
"The heraldry appears to be complete," Master Butler said, stroking his beard. "Go get it and test it."
In any case, the herald has completed the creation of the emblem, which means he has completed the competition and should be qualified for the test.
When the staff handed the finished emblem to the two masters, they were surprised to find that it was actually a dark element emblem, and the patterns on it were also very special. They had never seen such magic patterns before...
They quickly began the test. The energy level of this dark element emblem was B-level, and the emblem attribute level was also B-level, which was considered a good result. If it weren't for the record just set by Lancelot, with this rare magic pattern, Alvin should have become the most watched object in this field.
What a pity...
Master Butler also handed the dark element emblem to the staff for actual combat testing.
The damage caused by the black hole emblem is also quite high, but the duration is short, so it still cannot reach the terrifying destructive power of the previous lightning emblem.
"It's pretty good." The two masters gave fair comments.
The coat of arms took over ten hours to create, and even failed twice. Both the speed and success rate were slightly inferior to Lancelot's. The two masters ultimately gave it a score of 80 points, which was 15 points lower, but still a very good result in this competition.
"I wonder how that contestant is doing..." Master Butler said with some concern. The situation just now was obviously caused by excessive mental overdraft of that contestant. Judging from the contestant's previous performance, he was completely forcing himself to hold on, which would cause great damage to his brain nerves and mental strength.
Soon, a video call came in. It was from a rescuer the staff had urgently contacted. In the video, a pale teenager lay unconscious on the ground, twitching violently. The room was in a state of disarray, as if disturbed by some invisible force. Several broken bottles of medicine lay on the floor. Rescue workers had tested them and found they contained a special blue soothing agent with anesthetic and mental soothing properties. However, this soothing agent paralyzed the brain, rendering it incapable of perception when injured. This could easily cause damage and trigger mental agitation, making it a discarded product and prohibited from commercial circulation.
"What happened to the child?" Master Butler felt sad. How could such a promising child go astray and use such illegal medicine?
"According to observation, a mental disturbance has occurred. It is certain that mental and brain damage has occurred. The specific extent of the damage requires further treatment to be confirmed."
"I understand. Please send him for proper treatment." After ending the call, Master Butler closed his eyes in deep sorrow. Once a mental turmoil occurs, the damage to the brain is irreversible. Even if the mental power isn't destroyed, the ability to control it will never be restored to its former level. It could be said that this young man's potential to become a high-level herald has been shattered. Without the precise control of his mental power, he can no longer create high-quality heraldry. Brain damage requires long-term treatment, and even with the best possible treatment, he can only become a junior heraldry master specializing in virtual heraldry...
"Go notify the captain of this child's team and ask him to come over."
Dylan soon came over with a grim expression. Because the game lasted too long, he only glanced at it occasionally and didn't pay attention to it all the time. He only knew that something had happened to Ivan after receiving the news.
Master Butler explained Ivan's situation to Dylan, then said sadly, "That child has already secured a ticket for you to the finals, but he can't participate. I'll talk to the organizers and ask them to make an exception and allow you to find another qualified herald to assist you. Of course, you can choose to give up this right."
After all, there are very few young heralds who can create physical heralds. In previous finals, many teams gave up using heralds and went straight to the competition.
"I understand, thank you, Master..." Dylan didn't expect that Alvin would use illegal potions and overdraw his mental power several times, which finally led to a mental riot and caused such serious consequences.
Simon and Andy were also very surprised when they learned about this. They thanked Alvin for helping them qualify for the finals, but they also felt sad for him. The irreversible damage had been done, and Alvin's value would be greatly reduced. They didn't know what Dylan would do, but they were sure that Alvin's father, General Arnold, would definitely regard him as a discarded pawn.
"Let's go," Dylan said.
Their team's match results were already known, so there was no need to stay any longer. They still needed to prepare for the finals. The finals would be held on the capital planet a week later. All finalists would gather there, attracting a large number of journalists to cover the event live. That would be their chance to truly become famous in the Federation.
As for Ivan, they could only hope that his brain damage was not too serious and that he at least had a chance to become a herald again. Otherwise, his outcome would definitely not be very good.
Having finished the competition early and secured a spot in the finals with first place, the Silver Wings were overjoyed. They happily logged off to prepare for a group dinner to celebrate their victory. They were unaware of what had happened to Alvin. Even if they knew, it wouldn't have affected them. After all, they hadn't forced Alvin to steal Auckland's family inheritance, nor had they forced him to buy the illegal potion. Alvin had dug his own grave, and at most, they felt sorry for him, but they couldn't offer him any sympathy or pity.
On the other side, General Arnold also learned that something was wrong with Ivan.
"What?!" General Arnold's face suddenly turned pale, and he asked the person on the other end of the communication, "What's the situation?"
"The brain damage is serious. Although active treatment has been received, I'm afraid..." The unspoken words in it can be guessed.
"I understand. Let the hospital give him the best treatment. You can arrange for him to go to Galao for recuperation." Galao is a remote colony owned by the Persi family. Letting Ivan go there for recuperation is the last care Arnold can give to his 'most beloved son'.
"Yes, General."
After hanging up the phone, General Arnold crushed the cup in his hand.
An inaudible word was heard in the room - waste.
