In the normal arena connected to the hexagon tower at the back, a match was ongoing on the battle stage.
The next opponents in line were waiting in the pavilion, watching the match as spectators for now.
Some were astonished by the fight that was going on the ground and many were bored by the boring physical fight.
Most of the boring ones were mages or people with a unique profession like assassins, scouts, shield warriors, as well as many swordsmen.
And all of them looked down on the one fighting in the arena for not using the traditional sword, even while wearing a king's light armor and having a tall, bulky build.
The knight fighting with the examiner was a tall, bald man in purple light armor with a bulky build and a bald head with a tanned skin tone.
His eyes were normal gray, and he was doing his best in this fight against the [Rank-4] examiner even while being just a [Rank-3] himself.
He was stronger than most people in terms of physical prowess, but he wasn't much special even with his normal red Aura with no special characteristics.
The examiner wasn't even using the Aura even after the opponent had used it and it would be called disrespectful in most cases but, everyone just acted normally.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMost of the people here were sword wielders and just the fact that this person on the ground was using an axe, which he was definitely proficient with, made their faces weird.
It was the common point of view of the society that the sword was the strongest and few who had reached the top with some other weapon were just special people.
And in this place where people gathered to take the adventurer ranking test, most, even the examiners, were all sword wielders.
That was the common point of view of the society and most of the people and even here, few looked alright with it but the majority were just bored.
The fight was just one-sided and not only the spectators and the other four examiners but also the one taking this one was also bored now.
The man had done his best, but, in the end, he was just a little bit strong with a rough mastery of the weapon he used, and even the Aura was nothing special at all.
Even the dwarf, the fifth examiner who evaluated the pieces of equipment, was not much happy with the cheap and normal quality of the weapon and armor he used.
This fight had gone on for a solid five minutes and this much was more than enough for them to see what he was worth.
So, the examiner, the one with blue hair and light gray eyes pulled his sword backward as he distanced himself and, with a sudden sharpening of his eyes, he almost vanished from that point and reappeared before him and thrust the back of his sword in his abdomen.
And... this was enough to end the desperate attempt of the axe-wielding big bear.
The small crowd who was cheering for this man fell silent as they saw him grab his stomach and fall to the ground.
This was the end for this weapon wielder who tried his best in this test, and from the looks of all the five examiner's faces, one could tell they didn't like this one much.
It was alright, enough to get <E> rank but, not more than that.
The person lacked the eyes to choose the weapon, the survival instincts one needs in an unpredictable situation, and a strong will that can still make him stand up after this last blow for what he fought for.
He also lacked control over the weapon he used in this fight.
He definitely was good with the axe but, being good with a weapon and having the talent and mastery to extract the full potential of body and weapon wasn't there in this one.
And he still had a long way to go, so... they just moved him out of the fighting arena as the five of the examiners standing on the ground beside the fighting stage looked forward to the next ones after this boring performance.
There was a bit of anticipation in their eyes because of the latest news from a young attended and this had caught their eye.
But, not all five of them were happy with the two that were to come next.
The one who had just come down from the stage had a look of disappointment and disgust as he heard the things from the older-looking mature female mage.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe wasn't happy with the new settings and although the mage he asked was just excited about the next one; he was just disappointed with how their superiors could do a such foolish thing.
But then again, the rest of the four were just excitedly waiting to see something new.
The situation was special and maybe he didn't understand the full extent of the scene before them as he was new there. The four who had experienced were eagerly waiting for the next ones to come and greet them here.
And thankfully, none of them had to wait for much longer as the door on the other side opened and the two figures we were all familiar with walked in with confident looks and excited smiles on their faces.
The blue-haired swordsman wasn't much happy, so he just set on his seat, waiting for the greetings to be over.
But the four of them... they couldn't overlook the genuine mysterious air the two of them carried with them.
And just from this much, they knew these two won't be disappointing them.
The boy that this new instructor didn't like much was even more special in the eyes of the rest of the examiners.
The girl looked strong just like him, despite being a mage.
They knew these two were a mage and archer dup, which didn't actually come under the standard duo parties among the adventurers.
Both of them were long-range dealers in this regard so there was no counter for short-range with them.
And... this fact made this even more exciting.
