"Éléonore aren't you tired of spying on me?" (Maïli)
Éléonore face tightened.
"You saw me watching you train." She said, caught with her hand in the cookie jar.
"Several times, I also take the opportunity to say that you are not very discreet. Besides, the gust of wind that you used you learned it by observing me, right?" (Maïli)
"Well yes I admit it but we couldn't talk about this later." She said as she saw the monsters getting closer.
"Hey what do you want?" (Maïli)
"Join your group!" (Éléonore)
"Can you fight?" (Maïli)
The girls looked away and started whistling with their mouths.
"I see, so just be content to follow my orders and at least give sword strokes. Even if all of you don't know how to use it." (Maïli)
"Very good!" (Éléonore)
"Get to the center of the group right away then." (Maïli)
They moved quickly to join the fight. Already the fight was not too hard due to the low level of the monsters. And especially thanks to the strength and the orders of Maïli which allowed them to manage quietly. And adding even weak people added a little more stability.
Éléonore had just struck a goblin's skull with her sword and it immediately collapsed. Beth was reluctant to fight, ignoring emotions like anxiety and fear were not something anyone could do. As a wolf suddenly pounced on her, panic overcame her.
"Ah!" (Beth)
The wolf managed to bite her arm and would not let go.
"Beth!" Shouted Marine who was already struggling with monsters.
The wolf finally tore off a piece of her flesh. This made her scream in pain as blood poured onto the ground. The bloody jaw of the wolf was coming towards her again. But a sword had suddenly pierced the wolf's skull, it was Eva who had come to her aid.
"Are you okay?" (Eva)
Eva helped her up as she held her bleeding arm. Maïli then returned to the center of the group formation.
"It's not a serious injury, but it will need to be treated. The number of monsters has gone down well, keep the group formation going for a while longer." (Maïli)
Maïli on her side threw herself again in the battle against the monsters. Pushing them back and cutting them with her sword and her wind element.
"She is too strong!" (Éléonore)

On the other side, Mael and Emma were in battle formation. Maël was just sending fireballs to kill the monsters. Due to her status as a mage, she already had a better grasp of her magic. But a mage on the front line was quite abnormal. So she was hurt by the monsters very often, but she healed instantly. When a beautiful and warm light covered her. It was Emma who treated her whenever she was injured and their teamwork worked. Fortunately, they had to deal with few monsters. Since Maïli Shawn and their little group were mostly taking the attention of the monsters.
Jay, Méverick and Shawn were still battling the monsters. But after multiple uninterrupted waves, they were getting tired. And the small wounds were only accumulating. While they could see Maïli very well its coming out with its magic on the other side.
"Damn, but this girl is tireless?" (Shawn)
"It's not a matter of being tireless, she handles her mana usage and those moves very well. Not to mention she uses her group to her advantage." (Jay)
"This Jay has a very good sense of observation, he is one to watch." (Moïse)
10 goblins suddenly jumped out at them and they couldn't get rid of them all, so one of them slashed Shawn's stomach. And another one cut Méverick's biceps which bled profusely. Despite his hard skin skill causing an explosion of rage in him.
"You bastard!" (Méverick)
<Berserker activated>: All your stats are doubled for a duration of 5 minutes. You become stronger over time.
Méverick threw himself on the Goblins and started to slaughter all the monsters by himself that he found on his way.
"Here it is, the Berserker ability coupled with the Herculean strength ability, it's really impressive. Even at a low level like him. I'll be happy to train him." (Maximus)
As Méverick took his anger out on the monsters Shawn touched his bleeding wound. As he looked at her his wound began to close and not just that one but all of them.
"Oh yeah I like what's going on." Said he, smiling in satisfaction. "If I can't aim well I'll just burn all of them! Jay, get out of the way!" (Shawn)
A group of monsters were heading towards the two and then Shawn released a gigantic flame. There was no control on his part, he release all the mana he had. So much so that the flames began to overflow towards Maïli and her group.
"This guy is farting my ovaries!" She said annoyed because of his uncontrolled attack. (Maïli)
She deployed a gust of wind to dispel the flames that had now reached them.
"Who that guy is crazy!" (Marine)
Then after a few seconds, the flames dissipated. Shawn had eliminated the monsters but had completely exhausted his mana. While Méverick had finished killing the remaining monsters. His Berserker mode also stopped after the announced 5 minutes.
<End of the Berserker mode you suffer the counter blow. Your basic stats are divided by 1.5 for 10 minutes. You recover your mana less quickly, you undergo the fatigue during also 10 minutes.>
"Damn the counter blow is violent!" (Méverick)
While everyone was tired and some were injured, a soft light illuminated the arena where they had fought. All wounds have been healed and their mana has been recovered.
"Oh, so she is the holy priestess." (Jean)
The light faded and after casting her spell Emma was tired. While Mael had been watching over her all through the battle.
"My wound is healed." Said an amazed Beth.
"This is Emma's priestess power." (Maïli)
While Karine could only dodge and flee the fight like others throughout the battle. Until the others eliminated all the monsters.
"I made it out." Says she with a face full of sweat.
As the fight against the multitude of monsters seemed to end. They began to talk to their examiners who were watching them from above.
"We're done, can you get us out of here now." (Maël)
"What are you talking about? That was just the warm up." (Moïse)
"What! The warm up!" (Emma)
As fear slowly began to settle in the minds of some. Moïse then snapped his fingers and a box appeared and crashed into the arena. All eyes turned to the box. As the door opened hitting the floor. What came out petrified them, a gigantic goblin with an axe in his hand came out.
"Your real test begins now heroes." (Moïse)
