Chapter 57 Farewell
The crystal beasts active in the battle field brought many challenges to the students who took the retest. Most students could not even pass the first level, and finally could only get a score of 1-8 based on their performance in the middle.
But not everyone is like this. There are always a few geniuses who stand out from the crowd.
"Student O'Connor, congratulations on passing the first level."
In the field, the short-haired boy who always took the test first stood handsomely, and the dark blue wolf cub was still beside him.
"I didn't expect this guy to have been promoted to Sequence 3. No wonder he defeated the crystal beast so easily." The students below discussed.
"The iron must be strong. Although the theme is 'bonds', you can only help your companions if you are strong."
"It seems that my understanding of 'bonds' (strength) is not enough." A classmate was rubbing his fists.
"That's right. Although it's a bit rude, if you don't have any strength, you'd be just a fool if you just kept shouting slogans every day."
"Ahaha, then I'll show you the 'bond' (strength) between me and my companions!"
Ignoring the excited roars of the students below, the challenge on the stage has entered the second level.
"Three? It's really a bit difficult."
O'Connor leaned forward slightly, his hands hanging naturally, his eyes fixed on the three phantom beasts opposite, and then rushed out.
He took the initiative and knocked the swift wolf away, then slapped the tiger with his palm and started a melee with it. At this time, the young wolf also followed and joined the battle.
The dust was flying in the field. After several battles between the two sides, the swift wolf turned into pieces all over the ground, and the tiger was also incomplete, but the hawk in the sky was still intact and swooped down from time to time.
In the end, the man and the wolf were exhausted and defeated by the phantom beast hawk. They lay on the grass in the field, covered with crystal sand.
"Mr. O'Connor, the final score is 17 points."
"Oh, this is the highest score so far."
"It seems so."
As everyone was talking, two girls arrived at the end of the team.
"Has it started? It seems to be very intense." Seeing everyone's excited discussion, Heshia and Miana also listened carefully and quickly understood the current situation.
"It's time to participate." The two also walked to the high platform to get their order numbers.
Soon, Miana came on stage.
"Wow, look at me showing my power, Heshia!" The lively girl with short hair waved to Heshia, then carried her big crab onto the battlefield.
Compared with the lunch just now, the blue on the back of the crab was deeper, and the surface seemed to be coated with a layer of crystal-like enamel, which was much more gorgeous.
Sure enough, after entering the venue, the strength shown by this crab surprised many students.
"Is this a Sequence 2 creature? It doesn't look like it."
"Could it have advanced in such a short time?"
"It should be correct. I see that it is exactly the same as the Tide Sequence 3 Blue Crystal Sea Crab in the Star Network database, and its claws are even bigger."
In the venue, Miana swam with the Crystal Beast and found the right opportunity to knock it down. At this time, she suddenly shouted, "Now!"
"Use your giant claws to strangle!" The blue-shelled crab in the venue pinched the Crystal Beast's neck, pressed down with its claws, cut off its head, and turned it into countless broken crystals.
"Miana, passed."
"Yeah~" The girl jumped up and cheered, which surprised the students in the venue.
"It's rare for someone to let his 'companion' be the main force to defeat the Crystal Beast."
"Maybe this is the solution. We can also try it."
After being inspired, the students who followed also looked up information, and then pondered how to communicate with the 'companions' around them, let them understand the complex advanced formulas and imprints, and then condense a qualified and stable extraordinary core.
In the next challenge, although Miana led her big crab companion to defeat a crystal beast, she was still defeated by the remaining two.
"Mianana, the final score is 15 points."
"It's higher than Paula before. Now she's in the top 10."
"Well, we have to work hard too."
Just as everyone was discussing fiercely, it was also time for Heshia to go on stage. However, she was different from other students in that she was thinking about whether to let the little snake fight alone or to take action herself. But if she took action, how much strength should she retain? Otherwise, with her talent, she could directly disintegrate these crystal beasts condensed by crystal cores instantly, without any difficulty or impression.
Hiding strength is a necessary skill in life. It is always safer to keep some trump cards. It is also a good opportunity to see how far she can go without using her talent.

"The challenge begins!"
A phantom tiger jumped out of the field, baring its teeth and charging at a man and a snake not far away.
The challenge and the watching were completely different. The tiger seemed to expand rapidly from the field of vision, and it rushed to the front in just 2-3 seconds. This made Heshiya not have time to issue an order before the battle began.
Fortunately, the man and the snake had accumulated a lot of tacit understanding before. The dazzling flashes burst out in the venue, making the phantom beasts, or the beings behind the phantom beasts, temporarily lose their targets.
"Now, "Scorching Ray"!" Heshiya's voice sounded in the white light.
Then a thin orange-red light flashed across the battlefield and shot to the far back. When the dazzling light gradually dimmed, the audience found that the phantom tiger was lying on the ground, and its body was split into two by the scorching light, broken into pieces, and scattered on the ground.
This should be enough, the girl thought.
"Congratulations to Heshiya for passing the first level."
After the announcement, the staff asked Heshiya whether she would start the challenge of the second level. After receiving a positive answer, three crystal cores emerged from the device under the venue and were activated into three phantom beasts.
When the second radiance flashed, the students watching the game also learned their lesson and covered their eyes, opening them after a while.
Taking advantage of the short gap when the opponent could not attack, Heshia commanded the little snake to shoot down the hawk in the air, but at this time the indigo snake did not have much magic power left. If it wanted to fire another scorching ray, it would probably take several minutes.
In the venue, the remaining tiger phantom beasts rushed towards the little snake, while the swift wolf pounced on Heshia.
If she used the ability related to freezing crystals at this time, she could easily defeat it, but it was unnecessary to expose it for no reason. Heshia shook her head and used the unique attack method of the Withering Sequence.
She closed her eyes and concentrated, then her blue pupils opened, floating with a bright blue light. When she looked at the opponent's Swift Wolf, a mental shock made the Crystal Beast lose consciousness instantly, and its body stiffened, then fell to the ground and slid forward.
Avoiding the impact of the Swift Wolf rolling on the ground, Heshia followed it again. When the Swift Wolf was still struggling, she soothed its body with both hands, and a halo appeared.
Soon, the Swift Wolf calmed down and stopped struggling. Its body broke into pieces and scattered on the ground.
"That's the Withering Sequence, it's really rare."
"Although this method looks gentle, it's sometimes scary."
"The last gentleness, I used to say that when doctors of the Withering Sequence perform surgery, it's like a dinner party, the feeling is subtle."
"But it's also very powerful."
On the other side of the battlefield, the indigo snake and the phantom crystal beast tiger were fighting. Although its body was covered with a layer of crystal scales, it still broke layer by layer under the fierce bite. The body was sprayed with thick crystal sand, becoming slow and dull.
Heshia looked at the two parties in the distance, slowly raised her hand, and then the light in her eyes floated, and the phantom crystal beast suddenly froze and moved slowly.
Unfortunately, at this distance, she couldn't rush over quickly. The girl silently prayed in her heart, and could only command the little snake to break away from the tiger's huge mouth and swim towards her.
After a few breaths, the tiger phantom crystal beast recovered, shook its head, and then looked for the target again and turned its body around.
It began its second charge with great momentum.
But now, Heshia held the indigo snake in her arms and removed the crystal sand from its body.
Slowly, the gem on the snake's forehead recharged, and countless magic light points gathered from the atmosphere, making the gem dazzling.
Then an orange-yellow light shot out again, piercing the charging tiger and tearing most of its body apart. Although it was not completely split, it was enough to kill it.
Seeing the three phantom beasts turned into pieces, the staff announced that the second level was cleared.
"Congratulations, Heshia, do you want to try the third level?"
"Let's see." The girl tilted her head. The indigo snake was already exhausted, and it was almost impossible to challenge the third level.
So, the environment in the venue changed again, and a larger crystal core emerged, and then gradually activated under the focus of five blue lights.
Soon, an outline of about five meters high emerged, and finally formed a big snake with its head held high.
Its head was held high, its belly was wide and fat, its tongue was moving, and its pupils were erected, giving people a sense of intimidation. In comparison, the small snakes in front of it might not be as thick as its neck if they were all coiled together.
Primal Sequence 4: Crystalline Great Snake (Standard Brilliant Gold Level)
Looking at this big snake, Heshia had to shake her head. It was definitely impossible to defeat it, and there was no need to continue trying.
"I give up."
"Student Heshia, the final score is 22 points." The extra 2 points were because she was the first to reach the third level.
"The highest score so far."
"Great, great."
"But no matter how you look at it, this big snake is not something that ordinary people can pass. It is probably provided for those special geniuses."
The students talked a lot, and Heshia walked out of the battle field holding the little snake.
"Heshia is great!" Miana trotted over holding the big crab.
After that, the two filled out the form under the guidance of the staff. This re-examination was almost over, and the two companions beside them also had to say goodbye.
"Although it's only one day, I suddenly feel reluctant to leave." Miana looked at the big blue-shelled crab in front of her and touched the cold back shell with her hand.
"If you can come here to study, I think we can meet again." Heshia comforted her.
"That's right. If you enter the academy later, the partners in the retest will also be rewarded to you." A girl in black and red uniforms came over. She was the student union president in front of the Starry Sky Hall before, followed by two student union cadres in white.
Heshia and Miana stood up and looked at this senior.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Vitlina. I am the student union president of this year's Iridium Academy and the head of the third grade." She stretched out her hand.
"My name is Miana."
"My name is Heshia."
Under Vitlina's guidance, the three walked into the quiet Starry Sky Hall together. At this time, the suspended light ball had been removed, and the deep blue floor like the starry night was plated with a faint golden color under the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Let's go sit there for a while." Vitlina pointed to the horizontal chair in the front of the hall, which was very close to the giant angel painting and also at the innermost part.
The two cadres stayed where they were, while the three girls went to the inner side and sat down. Vitlina spoke first.
"Hershia's grades are very good."
"No, no, it's just that she performed a little bit exceptionally this time." The girl waved her hands quickly.
"Hehe, are you a little shy?" Vitlina said with a smile. Although she looked immature, her manners were very generous.
"Then I won't tease Heshia anymore. Let's talk about something serious. Is Heshia interested in serving in the student union after entering the school?"
"This, I'm afraid I can only be sure after entering the school." She just took the re-examination and didn't even receive the notice. It was a bit far-fetched to think about this.
"Hershia's grades are so good, it's impossible for her not to be admitted." Miana encouraged from the side.
"Thank you."
"You are really a cautious person." Vitlina smiled.
"Then I'll talk about it after I receive the notice. However, I personally have a good impression of Heshia. I have basically watched your performance in the previous assessments."
Faced with such straightforward compliments, the girl was a little flattered and didn't know how to respond. Should she pat her chest and say, "Yes, I am so excellent?" That would be too immodest.
"Well, it's not that special." She turned her eyes slightly.
"Hehe, still so cute." Vitlina smiled with her hands covering her mouth, and then remembered something.
"It's rare that you come so far to take the re-examination. I'll give you some souvenirs before you leave."
In the following time, Vitlina talked to the two of them for a long time, and then asked her companions to bring two large boxes and handed them to the two of them.
"It's getting late. I guess you still have to go back or rest. I won't keep you any longer."
Before leaving, Vitlina saw the two of them off in front of the Xingtian Hall.
"Then, see you next time, bye~" She waved her hand and stood there gracefully to say goodbye.
"Goodbye~"
