Starting With A Trash Hand

Solon the Bull Summoner

Thick muscular arms caught the cross s***h on its track. The blade lights vanished but not after leaving wounds on the arms.

Lightning Tauren Incarnate. It was a skill I used for the first time since I only ever used AOE spells or the Thundering Sword. Also because I haven't had a need for a bronze strength.

Now though, I really need that peak bronze power. After all a puny mage couldn't block that blade s***h.

"Now that's also something new. You gave me a lot of surprises." The examiner appeared behind me without me ever noticing. "I like you. What's your name?"

"They call me Solon." I stood up and faced her. I took my stance again, ready for an attack. "I can't say I like you too. I don't believe in love at first sight." I gave her a grin.

"Hahaha. That's rich. I believe you have more cards hidden in your sleeve. Fancy giving me a show?"

I literally have more cards in my sleeve but I was not about to reveal all of them in this test. I gave her a daring smile and said, "Make me."

She grinned and lowered her center again.

Spirit Guardian

Black Steel specter overlaps with my Lightning Tauren body, making me look menacing. Electricity danced and formed arcs in between my horns.

The examiner disappeared from her position and a bladestorm formed in front of my face threatening to devour me. I countered by using Lightning Charge to the eye of the bladestorm. Lightning Charge was one of the skills that came with the possession of Lightning Tauren. This was why even though it only had bronze strength, it was a silver rank card.

The examiner popped up from thin air as I arrived at the center of the storm. She was jumping backwards when her stealth was cancelled.

'Just as I thought. Stealth plus speed.' Assassin and Blade Dancer, a dangerous combination. Specially when it was packaged as a single individual. 'But you made a mistake.'

Lightning Stomp!!!

Boom Crack Crack

A thundering noise rang out as I stomped my hoof down hard. Arcs of lightning sprung out of the ground. The examiner was knocked away from mid air by the soundwave. She flew a few meters away. She flipped in mid air and landed gracefully. But not after I used Lightning Charge again. I arrived in front of her the moment her heels touched the floor. My arms were already held overhead. I hammered down like a mad ape.

Thunder Smash

Lightning wrapped around my arms. Just as my curled fist came crashing towards the examiner, she faced me and smiled. A chill ran down my spine. Before I could pull back, she casually flicked her blade. A strong force hits my chest and sent me flying back. I couldn't stand up and only wince in pain. The minotaur transformation and spirit guardian vanished.

"You did better than expected. You pass." she smiled.

'I passed. Great.' I was the first one to pass after half of the examinees kissed the floor.

Gles couldn't maintain her calm as she walked up to me in haste. She kneeled next to me. She didn't say anything but her eyes were wet and was very worried.

I smiled at her, "I'm fine." I tapped her shoulders to assure her. Using heal twice, the pain vanished. I heard the examiner's voice the moment I sat up.

"It seems like you brought a friend. Is she as interesting as you? We'll have to find out." It was like she found another toy to match her previous one, her grin was spine chilling.

'I'm starting to hate her.'
