The exam has been going on for hours now, some already injured, some already used their 'life ball' to escape as they weren't confident in their battle skills and due to the presence of many monsters.
Anthony has been watching everybody, not only his subordinate and he saw everyone has indeed improved.
Even those at the bottom of the ranking still made some certain improvements in some areas.
Anthony was surprised by Bryan's and Tiara's progress.
Their progress was really attached to a rocket, flying through their controls.
The way Tiara controlled blood and bound the monsters and way she moved with precise motion with no wasted movements and took their heads.
Then Bryan's control on the sword and the way he killed the treants with minimal effort.
They indeed made outrageous progress under the guidance of the Dean and the Vice president.
Vivian could be seen fighting a group of demons as they kept charging in.
Vivian already sensed where a lot of demons gather together, she sensed a formidable presence there and she was heading there.
A demon jumped out of the darkness, stabbing at her heart.
Vivian waved her hand and the demon froze and exploded.
"Human, stay and play with us, we want your blood, give it to us" one of the demon shouted as it arrived behind her and slashed with it's claws at her back.
An ice wall appeared behind her stopping the attack on it's path.
Ice spikes grew out from out of the wall stabbing the demon to death.
Vivian became tired of these ants flooding her, she had been holding back releasing little spells pretending like she was saving mana.
But these little demons are pushing it, she has to give them a reply.
[Ice Magic: Rage of the Ice goddess]
The dark chaotic atmosphere suddenly turned extremely cold.
Thousands of snow flakes started falling from the sky creating a beautiful scene, all demons stopped in their tracks and marvelled at the scene.
Some raised their hand and touched the snow flakes out of curiosity and the beauty.
As the snow flakes touched them all they are froze from within their body, turning into blocks of ice.
Even the trees and grounds that the snow flakes fell on froze up while releasing cold aura that also froze everything in it's path.
Then she continued moving towards the presence she felt earlier.
On another side of the forest, Clement could be seeing cutting down demons on his path without the slightest hesitation.
Clement disappeared and appeared behind another demon and sliced it's neck.
Then he disappeared again and appeared again at another location.
[Clement Technique: Dagger Series: Swift Death]
Clement moved with his two daggers and rank amok on every single demon he saw.
Most didn't even know what happened, Clement only disappeared and suddenly they were dead.
Clement waved his hand and took their corpse and felt a familiar presence moving in the direction he was heading to.
He smiled then continued his movement in that direction heading for the same presence.
After a few minutes Clement arrived at a building where he felt the formidable presence.
He just waited outside for a while, and after a while Vivian arrived at the same building.
Clement looked at Vivian and Vivian looked back at him, they knew they need to act like this was their first time meeting.
'You can use a higher combat power from here on out'
Anthony's voice sounded in Vivian's and Clement's mind, but they didn't turn or look around, they were just as expressionless as before.
Clement walked up to Vivian and stretched out his hand and said with a smile
"My name is Clement"
"My name is Vivian" Vivian replied and she shook his hand.
"So what are we going to do about that" asked Clement as he stared in the direction of the presence.
"How about we work together then, we can share the points afterwards" Vivian replied with a smile.
As she said that, the presence walked out of the building with a menacing aura.
It was a demon with a long tail, tall with bulging muscles with no horns or wings with pitch black skin with red eyes and giving off aura of death while being at the SSS rank with a black red sword that gave off a thick blood lust hanging on it's waist.
"I have been waiting for you two for a long time now, I couldn't wait inside anymore so I came out to see you myself" the demon said in a tyrannical yet extremely bored voice.
"I have seen how you laid waste to my army, I hope you put such effort in fighting me"
As soon as the words dropped the demon moved with speed befitting of an SSS rank and threw a devastating punch towards Vivian's head.
Vivian had a ridiculous physique that was further improved by Anthony, she could see the punch coming at a slow pace, even before it could arrive she contemplated many methods to block, at the end she decided not to do this physically and just stick to her ice magic.
A thick ice circle appeared directly infront of her face the exact place the punch was meant to land and blocked the punch effortlessly.
Clement blurred and arrived like a ghost beside the demon and thrusted his dagger into it's heart, the demon looked at Clement with a bored gaze and raised it's other hand and caught the dagger between it's thumb and index claw finger.
Before the demon could make another move, Vivian intercepted by holding on the other hand that punched her and sent a deep chill through the body, the Demon's eye momentary left its bored state as it released an intense flame from it's body.
Vivian and Clement immediately moved back as they didn't want to find out what that black fire was or what it could do.
"Blocking my attack, making me use my element barely one minute into the fight, it seems I have to be serious as you geniuses always fight across realms, which is why I am looking forward to you two"
The demon drew it's sword as it finished speaking, as the sound of the sword sliding against the sheath as it came out resounded.
The demon instantly advanced and swung it's sword at Clement this time around.
Clement didn't even talk, he wasn't like other assassins who feared head on confrontation.
He swung his dagger and met the attack of the demon head on without hesitation and explosions resounded as craters formed under their feet as they moved ridiculously.
Clement shifted the balance of his wrist and twisted his body and stabbed at the head of the demon with his second dagger.
The demon retrieved it's sword and countered Clement's second dagger.
They both instantly increased their speed and strength simultaneously.
***Clang***Clang***Clang***
Sounds of metals clashing kept resounding continuously and explosions resounding once in a while as the demon even forgot that Vivian was there.
"Stupid demon don't forget about me" Vivian said in a stern voice.
[Ice Magic: Physical Type: Battle Garment]
She instantly covered her entire body in an ice battle clothing, she also raised her right hand and ice element moved like it was absorbed by a vortex as a thick ice sword formed.
She moved and caught up with both of them with just a step and slashed out at the demon.
The demon had a crazed smile on it's face as it raised one hand and covered it in thick black fire and slammed a punch at Vivian's ice sword, bringing her to a halt.
The demon was in the middle, stopping Vivian's sword with it's left hand coated in fire, while also stopping Clement's dagger with it's sword covered in chaos which was in it's right hand.
"Your fire is annoying demon" said Vivian
"Of course it's not those ordinary flames other demons use, I'm the ruler of this sector for a reason human" replied the demon as it disappeared.
[Demon Technique: Hell Fire Sword Type: Dark Rampage]
The demon sent a terrifying attack at them with happiness as it has lost it's boredom.
Clement didn't even bother defending, he used 'Void step' movement technique and left like he was never there to begin with.
Vivian saw the attack coming and waved her hand, taking the attack head on.
[Ice Magic: Ice Blizzard]
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped as everything suddenly froze like it was frozen in time.
As the fire sword attack and ice attack met, there was a defeaning silence before an extremely loud outburst followed.
****BOOOMM*****
The temperature turned hot and cold, each fighting to take control over the forest as everything within a fifty kilometres radius was reduced to ash and ice cascade as ravines and crater formed everywhere, earthquake kept moving and bringing down everything.
Clement who already escaped stood on a tree in a far distance as he looked at the destruction these two caused and whilsted.
He was like an assassin dealing deadly attacks with one blow, expecting to take his opponent's life on that first attack, so his attacks aren't flashy but are sure are deadly.
He marvelled at the flashy destruction these two are causing, though it wasn't his style doesn't mean he won't admire it.
Everywhere was literally searing cold and hot as the temperature here was unstable, even the space within that range kept quaking and getting destroyed as it amended itself.
