Once his small analysis ended, we took a distance of 15 meters within the grounds of the chamber. Before we started, he made Asura pick from a variety of weapons and declared he'd be fighting us with the same type of weapon once we've chosen, he was clearly underestimating Asura's abilities to fight because she's a girl and hold no apparent imposing qualities that would imply her true ability.
He may come to regret it later. But for some reason, my senses are telling me I cannot win this fight. And judging by how I'm not going to eat him or anything or modify Asura's body during her recognition process, that only complemented the possibility.
I don't mind losing anyway, what's important is that Asura gets a guild card so that we can freely enter and exit cities in this country as I wish.
Grasped tightly in Asura's hands was an iron pole which I chose preferentially since I'm best at using the art of spears when it came to martial arts through the use of weapons. Hopefully Asura can fluidly absorb my battle knowledge without a hitch.
The examiner wore a confident smile. He was certain of winning, that's for sure and I don't mind.
"Hey kid! Once this coin lands, your test starts. Got that? Don't disappoint me!" The examiner instructed while showing Asura a golden coin in his hand.
"Yes!" Asura willingly accepted while organizing her new stance birthed by new forcefully applied muscle memories. She didn't even notice her body moved on it's own.
For half a second, it seemed as if time had stopped when the coin was about to land on the stone floor. The moment it did, our foe moved in a flash.
It was time to make him acknowledge Asura's strength to make her a mercenary.
Baldy darted to our destination at remarkable speed that caused a vacuum in space. By the time I had the luxury to react, Asura only just barely managed to fend off his sudden vertical spear strike aimed at her head.
When he pulled the pole back, he swiftly pressed against her will to fight through a series of onslaughts. Asura tried her best to defend against all those attacks with the spear's shaft but she still got grazed from time to time from unforeseeable moves.
「Asura, keep your distance! This guy is cunning!」
Heeding my warning, Asura stepped back and prepared for any inconceivable attacks. For now, the instructor was collectedly walking in circles around us like a hawk, looking for blindspots that he could utilize once we let out guard down.
"Master, his attacks are aggressive."
「I know. Just react quickly enough if you see him make any moves, don't get fooled by feints.」
"Ho, you're good to have survived this long. Most youngsters drop from that so these days all I'm getting are some retired veterans out from the military." He started to fill us in on a superfluous matter. I can see his attitude is beginning to get slightly respectable. "Even though I like your spirit already, this isn't enough. Last longer and the guild will acknowledge you as one of it's mercenaries."
With a little bit of my influence, Asura's lips curved into a grin which received the instructor's interest.
"I'll take that as a compliment."
"Kahahaha! I like your spirit, kid!"
Finally, he began to move. After kicking the ground, he zapped to Asura with a slightly faster speed.
A tip the shape of a cone formed and attempted to strike her head. Fortunately she managed to moved aside and be spared with a mere cut on her cheek.
I felt a stinging pain shot across her skin but I didn't mind something so trivial.
