The second item is a skills test.

Here we go.

Then, it was over quickly.

The process was short, and as Emilia had promised, she passed the test as quickly as she could, avoiding as many moves as possible, and completing the final trick test in the most "low-key", "simple", and "unpretentious" way.

In the process, the shouts of the crowd outside the arena rose and fell, with the ups and downs of Emilia's performance.

In chronological order, their cries went like this.

At the beginning of the "......", there was silence.

"Hmm......" stared intently, a little expectant.

"Whew!~~" Crazy!

"Hmm......" expects the finger to explode, and the brain is running rapidly.

The "......" was overloaded and crashed.

What makes the audience so crazy? The answer, of course, is Emilia's performance.

From the beginning of the test to the end of the test, Emilia never moved half a step, like a nail, nailed in place, not dodging or dodging.

It is said that if you want to pass the skill test, you must dodge the magic missiles that run around. However, is this really the only way to pass the skills test?

Who told you you you had to dodge? You don't have to dodge at all! Wouldn't it be nice to break him all?

Emilia used her actions to teach all the freshmen what exactly is the correct posture to pass the skills test!

That's right, just like her, just stand still.

When the magical barrier was activated, a barrage of bullets came into the sky, and Emilia remained standing. At first, the audience thought that she was stupid by the dense barrage, so she froze in place, but they quickly realized their mistake.

As a result, their cries had strange ups and downs.

At the beginning of the "......", there was silence.

The first barrage roared by. People were surprised to find that the barrage magically skipped Emilia's body, she didn't move a single step, and she didn't get hit by a single missile, like a transparent person.

The audience was talking a lot, discussing one after another.

"Hmm......" stared intently, a little expectant.

The speed was so fast that they didn't have time to see Amilia's movements.

Subsequently, the second wave of missiles appeared, the third, the fourth...... Wave after wave of obscuring barrage poured towards Emilia.

This time, the audience finally saw it clearly!

Emilia wielded the knight's sword in one hand and swung it in a strange trajectory. Her movements became faster and faster, and by the end they were blurred, and others could barely see the afterimages that swirled and danced one after another.

Although the audience can't see her movements clearly, they can see the results.

The result...... She smashed all the magic missiles that came at her!

Purple missiles were like moths to the flames, and one after another crashed into Emilia's sword shadow, trying to take advantage of the numerical advantage to pass through the sword dance of death and hit the emaciated girl in the moment. However, no matter how much effort is made, no matter how many missiles there are, no matter how fast they fly, there is no way to get close. All the missiles were ruthlessly cut off by Emilia, turning into clouds of brilliant purple mist, flowing back and forth with the sword qi.

The sound of crackling like firecrackers came, like a fireworks display. Suddenly, Emilia was surrounded by purple smoke and completely disappeared from people's vision. From the outside, one could only see more and more missiles disappearing inexplicably in the shadow of the sword, as well as thickening purple smoke.

"Whew!~~" Crazy!

The rules of the skill test are: avoid being hit by a missile, avoid deducting points, and at the same time destroy as many missiles as possible to get a higher score.

In this way, there is no need to dodge at all! Wouldn't it be better to just break all those missiles?

It's simple, it's crude, it's effective. That's Emilia's logic.

"Hmm......" expects the finger to explode, and the brain is running rapidly.

They don't know how exactly Emilia did all this. Breaking all the missiles? It's easy to say, but it's not that simple to do!

Gradually, the shouts of the audience weakened.

The results are already obvious. No one likes a game without suspense, a story that predicts the ending, no matter how exciting.

The audience began to pity the cute missiles. What had they done wrong? to be treated with such cruelty, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break through Emilia's impregnable defenses. The metallic knight's sword is like a murderous executioner, beheading all the missiles that break into the forbidden area without its own strength, leaving not a single one alive!

What a tragic word?

The crackling sound of firecrackers quietly subsided, no more magic missiles escaped to die, and the purple mist that filled the field was quickly dispersed by the autumn wind.

The "......" was overloaded and crashed.

The audience fell silent. It all ended so quickly, quietly, without a hint of noise. The wind not only took away the purple corpses of the missiles, but also blew the girl's short black hair.

In the ring, the dashing red-eyed girl stood with a sword,

She must be a goddess!

Before the audience could restart after the crash, Emilia's quiz was over. Without the slightest awareness of the "goddess", Emilia walked out of the field on her own, and was stopped by a silver-haired young man.

"Hehe, is it cool?" said Edward with a wry smile.

“......”

"Why did you do that? I know, you did it on purpose. ”

Edward didn't believe she really didn't understand what it meant to be "low-key". She definitely did it on purpose to complete the quiz in this appalling way.

So, why?

"......" Emilia turned her head away from Edward's gaze.

She was well aware that she was taking a risk.

The enemy hid in the shadows. They still don't know anything about the Gate of Original Sin. The only thing we know is that the Gate of Original Sin has the terrifying power to slay the strongest human being, the Brave. It is precisely because of this that she chose to cooperate with the Demon King, placing herself on the stage of Hogg Academy, looking for the enemy's loopholes at the junction of light and darkness, and attempting to fight back!

She made the right choice, however, she did not do it so wisely.

In this test, she showed a talent that is rare in a hundred years and a magical swordsmanship. She used to be the strongest human in the God-given land, and she was a brave man who fought against the Demon King with the power of one person!

Her mastery of the sword has reached the pinnacle, and the word genius can no longer describe her excellence, and her terrifying talent is simply granted by the God of Light himself.

It's so amazing, it's impossible not to be noticed. However, the more attention she has, the more likely she is to reveal her identity.

By doing so, she is tantamount to suicide!

"Answer my question! Why?" Edward shook his head.

He didn't accept Emilia's silence, and this time, he needed a reasonable explanation.

"I ......" Emilia tried to plead, but when she opened her mouth, she realized that she couldn't find any reason, not even a lame excuse.

No one knows her own situation better than she does, and no one fears her identity being exposed. So, why did she deliberately choose a madness that bordered on suicide?

Is it to fight Edward? or something else?

Emilia couldn't give an answer. In the face of Edward's question, she was silent.

"What is it that you are proud of? courage or justice, and why are you covering up your ignorance with such stupidity?" Edward took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, as if to exhale all his anger as well.

"......" Emilia still didn't speak.

Now Emilia has lost her pride at the beginning. The stubbornness and persistence that Edward provoked also disappeared into the autumn wind with a cloud of purple mist.

When she calmed down, she was like a child who had done something wrong, and she did not dare to refute Edward's accusations, and at the same time, she was unwilling to lose her dignity and bow her head to Edward to admit her mistakes easily.

"What I said, and I as a person, are you really so annoying?" Edward's tone was neither sad nor joyful, and there sounded faintly sad.

"No, no, I ...... Ah, no!" Emilia wanted to say that she didn't actually hate Edward, but she quickly realized that such a thing could never be said, so she hurriedly covered her mouth and swallowed the second half of the sentence back into her stomach, and then quickly looked away, "I—I mean, I mean...... He, he ......"

"Him?"

Edward turned his head and followed Amilia's gaze.

Kane under the ring was pale at this time, his brows were furrowed, and he looked like he had eaten a big fly. Maybe even he, who knew that the brave was powerful, didn't expect this kind of ending.

It was Angelina's request for Emilia to join Hogg House. However, Kane did not simply agree, and insisted that she also take the Hoag House test.

Is it a difficulty, or is it a test for the younger generation by the older generation?

"You, in order to be angry with Kane, why did you do that on purpose?"

"Also, not ......"

"So, what is it?" said Edward, who continued to ask.

"For the sake of ...... Prove myself. Emilia finally gave her own answer, as if she had seen through everything, and her attitude became calm, "I, I'm not an idiot, I don't need your help, I want to prove that I can do it alone!"

"Oh, yes? That's a nice thing to say. Night's indifferent voice came out of place, "Then brave man, did you do it in the end? What did you prove?"

"I, I......" Emilia clenched her teeth.

Every word and sentence that Night said was so straightforward and to the point, like a knife cutting through what little self-esteem Emilia had left.

Emilia had long forgotten that impulse.

When she was in the ring, she just wanted to fight, wanted to prove herself, and swung her sword for that unknown arrogance, and couldn't care about anything else.

Just like that time in the Silver Pine Forest. That time, instead of following Edward's advice and quietly stealing the Tears of the Goddess from the Black Flame Gang, she chose to attack head-on and challenge the entire Black Flame Gang without her own strength.

Just like that time, she couldn't remember why she was impulsive that time, and when she calmed down, she realized that she had been surrounded by enemies and was in a certain death situation, thanks to Edward and Audley.

This time, it's the same......

Edward's words are still so correct, they are still so angry to her, and she still does things that shouldn't be done, and she still needs Edward to be a shield for her.

She wanted to prove that she didn't need to rely on Edward, but in the end, what did she prove?

Perhaps, she still needs to rely on that pervert......

"Okay...... I admit it. I—I'm an idiot. I'm sorry......" Emilia clenched her fists hard and lowered her haughty head slowly but firmly.

This action took almost all her strength. If it weren't for the other people around, I'm afraid she would have cried a long time ago.

"Poof...... Hahahaha. ”

Hearing Amilia's words, Edward burst out laughing.
