《Winter Sovereign》Chapter 45:Test of Strength
Advertisement
Lilia's group entered the door to take the first test to see if they can qualify for the tournament.
Upon entering, they see a young man wearing green robes.
Upon seeing them, he greeted them.
"You're here to take the test?"
Lilia stepped forward.
"Yes, we are."
"Oh that's fine. I'll explain the rules then."
He led them to a field where there were stone slabs over.
"These are ironstone slabs. You merely need to crush them with a punch. There's two tries each. It's fairly easy and because of that, it doesn't take long to get it done."
He explained the rules.
"Oh. No wonder the others are crowded while this place isn't."
Luisa remarked.
The young man smiled.
"Yes. That's why this is a simple and easy job for me."
He laughed a bit.
"So, there's no order in who goes first so long as everyone passes. Which of you ladies would like to try first?"
"Since anyone can go first, I'll go!"
Aies recommended herself.
She stood before a stone slab and rushed at it with her small palm in the air.
"Hiya!"
Upon coming in to contact with her palm, the stone slab was smashed.
"Oh. Pass."
The young man remarked.
"Yay! I did it!"
Aies laughed and smiled smugly.
"Hm... Wow... Small yet powerful."
The young man remarked further.
"Oi, who are you calling small!?"
Aies retorted.
"Enough of that. My turn."
Seileen stepped forward and stopped Aies from making take longer than it should.
Aies pouted but returned obediently.
Seileen was a graceful lady.
She stood before one of the stone slabs and made her move.
She crushed the stone with ease.
However, fragments didn't scatter as messily as it did for Aies.

"Pass."
The young examiner spoke.
"Me next."
Luisa strode forward.
She walked to a stone slab and swung her hand downward.
The stone slab was sliced in two with that chop.
"Splendid. Pass."
The examiner called out.
"Well then... Since my sisters made their show, time to make my move."
Lilia called out proudly.
She took her step with grace and swung her arm with force.
"Wow!"
The young man called out.
The stone slab was turned to dust.
"Ooh... That's Bis Sis Lilia for you!"
Aies called out.
"Well them... I guess I'll go next."
Serra took his step and striked.
"Oh. Pass."
The stone slab wasn't destroyed but it was cracked which was passable.
"Well done. You've passed the trial of strenght."

The Radiant War
The human world is aflame with war. Nations clash with their neighbours, while the Kelvon Empire, bulwark of the human world, stands on the brink of civil war. The plans of the enemies of mankind to destroy human civilisation, to restore their own mastery of the world, are well on the way to success. The people of Helberion have vowed to defeat those plans, though. Peace must be restored between the various peoples of mankind so that they can combine their efforts against their true enemy. Even while her country strives to avoid conquest and defeat at the hands of their traditional enemies the Carrowmen, therefore, Princess Ardria journeys to Carrow to meet with the enemy King in an almost hopeless attempt to persuade him of the truth. All her hopes rest on the assumption that he in an unwitting dupe of the true enemy, but lurking at the back of her mind is the fear that he may be all too aware of the truth, that he may have sold out humanity for the promise of personal power. If this is true, then all that awaits her at the end of her journey through fear and danger is imprisonment and the life of a hostage to be used against her father, King Leothan. The Brigadier would help her if he could, but he and Malone, his former batman, are far away, each having their own missions to try and ensure the survival of human civilisation. Having completed his latest task, the Brigadier must race to join her, to assist and protect her, but will he reach her before she arrives at the palace of the enemy King? And will the Princess still have a country to be Princess of by the time she arrives there? Because even if Helberion manages to defeat the all conquering armies of Carrow there is another, even deadlier threat waiting in the wings against which there may be no defence... This is volume three of the Ontogeny series. If you haven't read volume one, Ontogeny, and volume Two, The Electric Messiah, you should read them first.
