Chapter 625 - The Stats
Magus Silica was known among her peers as a thorough person. Even though it looked like she already had her conclusion after observing them fight the combat puppets, she still decided that the five of them needed to go through another round of examination. This time, a physical test.
It was a series of tests similar to the one Emery received when they returned to the Magus Academy, so there was nothing extraordinary about it. After doing all the tests and waiting for an hour as their capability was analyzed, the group finally got their result.
It had been a while since Emery last saw his friends' stat, hence he checked them out attentively.
The first one to be shown was their gladiator champion, Thrax. After his successful performance against the combat puppet, he was pretty much feeling really confident with his test. This was apparent from his straightened back and wild smile perched on his face.
[Thrax]
[20 years old]
[Battle Power: 82]
[Fist Strength: 17.250 kg]
[Speed: 270 m/s]
[Spirit Force: 365]
[Aptitude: A]
[Fire Spirit - mid foundation]
[9 Sun Divine - stage 5]
[Acolyte Rank: 8]
As the group read through Thrax's result, they all gradually nodded their heads because it was as expected. Just like always, Thrax possessed a very high physical strength but had the lowest number of spirit force which barely touched the under limit of his rank 8 acolyte.
Magus Silica seemed to be a little disappointed as she looked at it. Apparently, even with Thrax decent A rank aptitude, Thrax had a very poor level of comprehension in the spirit element.
The magus then did a special comprehensive analysis on Thrax's divine skill, allowing the latter to better know of the cards he got. Evidently, the divine skill was the culprit who gave Thrax the explosive-like power to his strength.
When the next result was shown which was the Roman, Thrax evidently got competitive once again. The fighting spirit in his eyes was lit ablaze strongly as his eyes keenly stared at the data shown in front of him.
[Julian Kaesar]
[20 years old]
[Battle Power: 65]
[Fist Strength: 14.890 kg]
[Speed: 230 m/s]
[Spirit Force: 434]
[Aptitude: A]
[Earth Spirit - peak foundation]
[Fire Spirit - high foundation]
[12 Golden Bell Divine - stage 6]
[Acolyte Rank: 8]
Julian's stats could be considered as the embodiment of balance, with roughly equal distribution across the board and no apparent weakness. However, this kind of stats was also one without many advantages, just like its lack of disadvantages. Simply put, it could be said as the jack-of-all-trades of the stats.
This kind of stats certainly didn't bode well in the long run to an individual with high ambition and aspiration such as Julian. Even so, the Roman tried his best to maintain his calm and act casual about it.
"Hahaha, at least I am not the lowest in the group!"
The subsequent test Thrax went through also happened to Julian as his divine skill was also quickly tested. The test was specifically designed for his divine skill, by him being told to receive many different types of attacks; physical attack, magical attack, and even poison.
The outcome Julian's divine skill shown brought back a little smile to Magus Silica's slightly frowned face. The former's divine skill had bestowed him various degrees of resistance to every type of attack.
The next person who became the center of attention was Chumo, as his test result came out and everyone huddled closer to see it.
[Chumo]
[19 years old]
[Battle Power: 70]
[Fist Strength: 14.150 kg]
[Speed: 275 m/s]
[Spirit Force: 499]
[Aptitude: A]
[Darkness Spirit - peak foundation]
[Acolyte Rank: 8]
While Thrax's stat was extremely one-sided and Julian's was very balanced, Chumo's stat on the other hand was a bit unique. He had lower battle power and weaker fist strength when compared to the two, but his speed could be considered to be cut-above among the others.
Even though Chumo was merely five meter per second faster than Thrax, this 'slight' difference could very well become the major factor determining who would win the fight.
It could also be safely concluded that Chumo was at the bridge to break through to the realm of rank 9 acolytes when they saw his level of understanding in the darkness element.
[Kleopatra]
[19 years old]
[Battle Power: 55]
[Fist Strength: 11.400 kg]
[Speed: 190 m/s]
[Spirit Force:550]
[Aptitude: S]
[Water Spirit - foundation established]
[Wind Spirit - foundation established]
[Lightning Spirit - 1 pillars]
[Ice Spirit - foundation established]
[9 moon divine - stage 6]
[Acolyte Rank: 9 - early stage - 1 pillar formed]
Last but not the least, Klea. Her stat was certainly one of the kind, even when one looked within the scope of the abode of geniuses that of Magus Academy.
Magus Silica was confident that the girl's talent could even be considered exceptional when put against the other heaven-defying geniuses of human alliance. Knowing that she didn't have any history of ice element proficiency in the past had added an extra mark for the girl in the magus' book.
Now that the magus had seen their stats, she proceeded to compare it with what she saw when they fought the combat puppets and came up with a statement about the conclusion and what she personally thought.
"Lord Izta is an extraordinary warrior. I imagine he let you all choose whichever weapon you are passionate about." Magus Silica said with a gentle smile on her face. "Unfortunately, I personally believe that in order to win the game. You all need to work as a team where you can all complement and support each other".
The magus was seen to be in thought after she said that. Then, she decided to discuss it with Magus Xion, considering the best path for each of them.
Afterwards the two of them prepared different kinds of training for the group, prepared and tailor-made for your role in the team for the upcoming game."
Magus Silica chose to pick Julian and Thrax and the two were taken back to the armory. Apparently, the combat magus believed that the two were fighting with the wrong weapons.
On the other hand, Klea was being sent toward Grand Magus Ororo which will teach her to further improve her spells.
As for Chumo and Emery, the former was told to follow Yuria while the latter would apparently be training with his master.
Looking at Magus Xion standing in front of him, a smile couldn't help but appear on Emery's face.. He will be training together just like the old times.
