Chapter 71  67 - Arcana Academy Entrance Exams VII

(A few seconds just after the Giant Robotic Serpent and Vipertalons had been released onto the arena)

Lucas and Amelia who were listening to Derek's merry tone as he gave his commentary just watched on in deep perplexity.

The arena was now becoming a few degrees colder but yet, the only thing running through both of their minds was one singular thought. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

'How are we supposed to defeat that, let alone the Vipertalons in the sky?'

However, shaking them out of their state of immense confusion was a few calm words from Flynn as he spoke.

"Oh… that's quite massive… Interesting…" he had said, almost as if he had been expecting this.

"That being said, I'd never expected them to actually transport robotic variants of Vipertalons too…" he added with a thoughtful look on his face.

Both youths then slowly turned their heads around to see Flynn watching the scene of the frost serpent wreaking havoc across the arena with a very relaxed expression on his face.

'Why is he so relaxed?!' Amelia and Lucas had asked themselves with even more perplexed expressions on their face.

A gigantic frost serpent and about fifty vipertalons in the air were about to completely put all of them past their absolute limits and the silvery green-haired youth was just calmly staring without a hint of panic on his face.

Flynn on the other hand after staring for a few more seconds, had his relaxed expression morph into a thoughtful one while having a few internal monologues.

'I was originally going to just pass the exams without going all out but this… this is a rare chance for me to test it out…'

'Besides, I'd love to throw a wrench into Derek's plan… He's having way too much fun…'

Flynn after deciding what he now wanted to do, had his expression once again change to a different one this time.

A look of genuine excitement!

The green aquamarine-eyed youth then took a deep breath and then walked backwards a few steps, adding even more to Amelia and Lucas's confusion who were watching him.

Flynn then started walking forwards, slowly transitioned his walk into a slow run, picked up his pace gradually as he ramped up his speed and then, finally jumped into the air while simultaneously activating his new spell with a chant.

"[Telekinetic Series: Ether Blades]!"

***

About half of the people in the audience roared with another wave of excitement as they watched Flynn Belmont once again, destroy another vipertalon with a clean slice of his katana which was coated in a thick layer of mana.

They had watched him jump onto one of the vipertalon's head with a front flip, land directly on its back and cleanly slice of its metallic head, immediately leaping off of its back and into the air again with a backflip.

He had also done all of this, just in time to evade another vipertalon that had been planning to attack him by using its dangerously large metallic claws as he quickly positioned himself to land perfectly onto two of his mana slates that were hovering in the air, all in a matter of seconds.

At first, when they had seen him hurtling through the sky at a rapid pace, they had all thought he was flying but upon closer inspection, especially when the panoramic screen zoomed in on him, they had realized that they had been very wrong.

Surfing through the skies!

That was the best way to explain what the youth was doing.

His legs had been placed on two small mana slates that were each about the size of a small rectangular tile while four more others followed him like a homing missile, all six of them completely under the effect of his spell it seemed.

But even then, that had not been what had drawn half of the crowd in the audience to him.

A lot of people were capable of flight in this world but not all of them were able to fight effectively at mid-air.

However, to the crowds that were now roaring with fever-like excitement, Flynn Belmont to them, was perfectly capable of doing both, just from the way he was moving through the air.

The vipertalons should have had the advantage in the air but yet, they were being absolutely, completely and utterly dominated by the silvery-green haired youth.

Using a perfect blend of jumps, flips and seasoned acrobatic movements along with precisely calculated areas to place his mana slates at, Flynn Belmont navigated through the air while dispatching the vipertalons with such finesse that the audience found it so hard to tear their gaze away from him!

Adding to that beautiful finesse was how he could even control the other four mana slates which were continuously floating and levitating around him, to also attack the robotic hybrid birds, their immensely sharpened and bladed edges which had been coated with mana, severing through their metallic wings of the vipertalons like hot knife through butter.

"So freaking awesome!" one child in particular who was about 10 years of age had shouted along with half of the audience, electrifying excitement in his voice.

"Not as awesome as him though!" his younger sister had suddenly told him with a shout while pointing towards the grounds of the arena with child-like excitement in her own eyes.

Despite the beautiful display of finesse and skills Flynn Belmont was showing, the other half of the audience could not help but marvel at how Aiden Belmont was going toe-to-toe with a robotic variant of a fissure monster that even some seasoned low to mid-tier B-core rankers and below, with lots of experience on their belt and battling various fissure monsters, would have a hard time doing alone.

Sure the robotic frost serpent didn't have any free will of its own like actual fissure monsters would, but even then, it was a ridiculous feat to still be able to completely go toe-to-toe with a gigantic monster like that alone.

From the moment the black-haired youth had slowly began walking towards the massive creature that made him look quite small in comparison, the frost serpent had let out bellow of ice cold, frosty breath from its mechanical mouth that would immediately freeze any candidate on the spot.

Yet, Aiden Belmont had instead given a slight smirk, placed his dominant foot forward with so much force that it dug into the dirt and then, brought down his greatsword in one powerful downward arc, completely cleaving through the zero-degree frosty breath and mitigating the dangerous attack from the massive robotic serpent altogether.

Some normal people in the audience who had been watching him, and had initially wondered how he had been planning to deal with the gargantuan serpent, had their jaws drop in genuine awe at his strike.

The strike had been so powerful that even after mitigating the frosty breath, it completely dispersed it with a strong burst of pressurized wind just from the force of the swing of his greatsword alone!

His attacks however didn't stop there as Aiden suddenly disappeared and reappeared in the air with the use of his [Grav Boost], just behind the long length of the robotic serpent's neck, it's head decapitated from its body in an instant, causing even more people in the crowd to go wild with shouts and roars of excitement.

However, the robotic frost serpent whose head had been severed in an instant, suddenly had its metallic scales and severed edges extend in an almost organic manner, completely reattaching the severed head in an instant as the robotic serpent let out a loud, ear-deafening mechanical roar.

Aiden however, almost as if he didn't care, landed on the reattached head of the serpent while also inwardly chanting his new spell.

'[Gravity Series: Reversal]!'

Following that, Aiden struck his greatsword which was now coated with mana straight into the massive robotic beast's reattached head, and then, ran through the entire length of it's very long yet curvy body while dragging his greatsword and splitting through the metallic scales of its body with immense force, almost like an insanely sharpened chainsaw cutting through the thick bark of an ironwood tree.

The giant robotic frost serpent tried to twist, shake and turn around in rampaging sinuous movements, almost in an effort to throw Aiden off but yet, the youth stuck to it like glue, almost as if defying gravity itself and instead, continuously dragged his greatsword across the expanse of its long, windy and massive body.

'How is he doing that?' one ranker with a lower tier core in the audience had asked himself a question so many others were also asking themselves too but, almost immediately, he, along with the rest of the crowd had answered their own question by themselves.

"It's definitely a spell! Otherwise, it wouldn't make any sense for him to not have been flung through the air like a ragdoll by now!"

Yet, as the crowd seemingly watched on, the massive frost serpent once again re-attached and regenerated its frosty and silvery mechanical scales in an almost organic manner, causing even Aiden to give a slight frown as he landed on the ground with a strong thud.

Using mana sense, he had realized that the many small orbs in the serpent's body was constantly shifting around the metallic expanse of it's robotic internals.

Those orbs were probably also what made the frost serpent regenerate its metallic body at a rapid pace.

But unknown to Aiden, half of the audience that was watching him, once again went wild with excitement due to his dominating performance against the gargantuan robotic creature.

"Hot…/So cool…" Caroline and Ivelia had unconsciously said out loud in unison while watching both brothers along with the audience.

Almost immediately though, both of them whipped their heads to their sides while looking at each other with a look that seemed to ask almost similar questions. Almost.

'You weren't just referring to Aiden/Flynn right?!'

That was what the question they had seemingly asked themselves with their eyes.

But after realizing, just like a lot of ladies naturally could with very subtle expressions, they both went beet red after coming to another realization that they had both ratted out their feelings about each brother to themselves.

Before they both could talk about what they had just done though, two vipertalons soaring through the sky suddenly began heading straight for them at rapid speeds, their large gleaming mechanical claws poised to strike.

Although Flynn was handling most of the hybrid robotic birds in the sky, he could not completely prevent most of them from heading downwards and onto the arena grounds in an effort to also wreak havoc there.

Before all that had happened though, Ivelia and Caroline had also pulled off something akin to a combo spell, using both their [Wall Formation] and [Rosebloom Stalk] to create a towering wall of earth that was strongly held in place by a giant green vine with multiple blooming roses on it, coiling around the wall's sides to avoid the previous onslaught of robotic beasts they had been required to face.

As a result of their now altered altitude though, the vipertalons had made both of them their first targets as they propelled themselves at a rapid speed downwards towards them.

This situation suddenly reminded both Ivelia and Caroline, along with the other candidates that despite the fact Aiden and Flynn were currently handling most of the most troublesome monsters, their entrance exams was far from over.

As Ivelia fired two of her arrows at one of the vipertalons in an effort to defeat it, Caroline on the other hand, had extended her bladed whip and caught onto another vipertalon that she had narrowly evaded.

The ruby-eyed lady had then spoken with a twinge of annoyance in her tone, almost as if pissed that they had interrupted her from watching Aiden's battle with the frost serpent.

"Get! Over here!" she had voiced with a tinge of annoyance as her bladed whip latched onto the vipertalon's metallic claws and forcefully pulled it backwards while slamming it straight into the sides of the towering wall of earth and flora that both her and Ivelia had created.

Only 4:59 was left on the timer and as a result, the rest of the surviving candidates refocused their attention away from Aiden and Flynn's battle and onto the oncoming flying robotic beasts along with the massive frost serpent, willing themselves to once again, survive till the very end of this rollercoaster of an entrance exam.
