The soft, gorgeous, snow white light was one never before witnessed, its enchanting radiance spell bounding all audience. As the milky glow spilled into the white room, gasps of astonishment and amazement resounded.
Teng Wang's eyes widened in disbelief as he watched the blurry figure enveloped in the most resplendent pure light he had ever seen. Within the cocoon of light, the figure appeared so glorious and pure, causing a feeling of sacredness to bloom in his heart.
"What magical ability is this light?" He asked in a daze.
Rong Li felt his surroundings fade away as his gaze burned into the bright room, trying to penetrate the glass wall to figure out the individual inside the room. His desire to know the identity of the apprentice inside the test room was so strong, that he regretted not paying attention to her earlier on.
"Who is it? Why is their magical element so bright?" He was similarly in a daze, whispering the words in confusion.
Elder Yun and Kang unconsciously stepped forward, stupefied and dumbfounded.
"This....is this what I think it is?" Elder Yun's voice was barely above a whisper, sounding as low as a mosquito's buzz.
"If...what you are...thinking is the same as what I am...thinking, then...yes?" Elder Kang stuttered and spoke with difficulty, his breathing labored as he looked at the bright room.
Since the start of the elemental and talent evaluation, he was never as affected and heavily impacted as he was now.
"But, how is this possible? Such an occurrence is recorded from 500 hundred years ago!" He exclaimed in disbelief.
His ice cold heart was churning like a turbulent wave, threatening to overwhelm his senses within seconds, if he did not get a hold of himself.
"What is that light? Why is it so bright?" Rin grabbed her friend's hand, asking in a nervous thrill.
"I do not know. But whatever it is, it is very pure. In fact, it is so pure, I can feel the heaviness in my heart receding." Stali breathed out in wonder, her blue orbs glowing with awe.
She did not care who was inside the room because she was already taken with their elemental magic.
"Who is that? And what elemental ability is that?" Marui Osklain's eyes were practically spitting fire as she glared at the white room, the resentment and jealousy in them darker than the darkest of nights.
She was still in the process of planning a method to deal with the two anomalies that suddenly popped up. They stole the spotlight and honor that should have only belonged to her, and passably the other Marikeen prospective. As such, teaching them a lesson was a must.
However, before she could even come up with a scheme, a new problem surfaced. Only this time, the problem seemed even more complex and complicated than the first.
How was she going to deal with an apprentice that appeared to be more formidable and powerful than herself?
"Why are the heavens only against me? Why do I not possess such remarkable abilities?" Her eyes squinted into slits as she aggrievedly whispered. She felt the heavens were playing favoritism, making her feel upset.
Aarya Quime's mind was similarly in chaos, dread settling in her heart at the thought of having some other apprentice standing above her head. She clenched her fists so tight that small drops of blood seeped through, dripping silently onto the grey stone.
'Why? Why does nothing seems to go well for me lately?' She inwardly raged.
Her purple pupils were filled with malicious and sinister intention, desiring to cut whichever girl was inside the stone room into pieces.
Rima Yulan, who was curled in a corner, saw the ridiculing apprentices eyes widen in bewilderment, looking as if they had just encountered a ghost. Following their stunned gazes, she saw the room on the left releasing an explosion of white light that blinded her sight.
Without doubt, the white light was the elemental ability of the individual inside the stone room, but why was the light so bright?
The girl in that stone room entered at the same time as her, but she did not even know who the girl was. She was so focused on herself, feeling self-important and overconfident, that the obscure girl entering with her was ignored by her and sidelined by the crowd.
Now, that same obscure girl was outshining her.
"Whoever is in that room, they must have stolen my good fortunate. Otherwise, how could my talent be so lowly? It is even lower than the lowly individuals who have never seen magic before. Definitely! Whoever is inside that room, probably performed some trickery to suck all my magical talent towards them! They are behind everything!" A deranged look appeared in her malevolent eyes, distorting her original passable appearance.
"Chee! Disgusting! Rima Yulan, accept the fact that you are nothing but a trash! Stop deluding yourself by faulting someone else for your own trashy aptitude. It will only be disgracing and degrading yourself." The apprentice standing close to her, heard her shameless mutters and claims, and exploded into a rage.
Truly, she had never met or seen anyone more shameless than this Rima Yulan.
'What if I contract her delusional illness by standing near her?'
The girl was scared out of her wits when she thought of herself behaving like the current pathetic Rima Yulan. Such a future, she could not face.
Turning, she moved as far away from the delusional lunatic as she could.
"That white glow, what elemental ability is it?" Of all the confounded apprentices, only one was finally able to come to her senses fast enough to ask the question which everyone else seemed too awe-struck to ponder.
"Yes, elemental ability! What elemental ability is this white light? And who is the person inside the room?"
"That is what I would like to know as well. Who is inside that room?"
As more apprentices returned to their senses, inquiries of the identity of the girl in the white room and her elemental ability rang out, starting an excited and boiling buzz among them.
"I know! White light, white light is for light elemental magic!" The surprised cry of the apprentice was loud and clear, entering the ears of everyone in the white hall.
Her words were like the strike of a thunder, blowing the senses of everyone present as they were pushed into a frenzy.
"Yes! White light! Why did I not think of it before? White light is light elemental ability. She is a white elemental ability!"
Just as the words of the speaker dropped, the bright white room emitted a glaring red radiance. The red did not stop, advancing rapidly to orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and then violet.
Within matters of moments, the whole stone room was enveloped in a violet glow that flashed vibrantly, stunning the spectating audience speechless.
Bang!
In the next instant, before their very own eyes, the stone room exploded.
The glass wall shattered, spraying a shower of glass and violet brilliance onto the unguarded crowd.
Elder Yun and Kang, were swift to react.
The moment they saw the stone room bursting into an uncontrollable explosion, they stepped up and formed a magical shield around the apprentices.
The apprentices, who were shocked silly, watched the burst of glasses about to rain on them with horrified expressions. They were neither in the mindset nor had the ability to respond.
And it was within such an atmosphere that the two elders stepped up and prevented the glass shreds from harming them. Their watery blue shields warping and deforming under the fierce impact, but never breaking.
"What just happened? The Stone Veins shattered?" Stali emotionally shrieked as she looked at the now ruined room.
"Exactly! The Stone Veins Shattered!" Her friend Rin was emotionally conflicted as well.
The Stone Veins shattered the instant they turned violet, a great matter was spoiled before taking shape.
"The stone veins shattered. Such an incident had probably never occurred before."
"Did you see what I saw, though? The Stone Veins were violet before they shattered. What does this imply?" Another student timidly spoke out at this moment.
"Why did the Stone Veins shatter after reaching violet? What does this mean?"
"Is she a violet level talent? A supreme genius?"
"But the veins shattered! This could also mean something different. Maybe, her talent ability is not stable, or not even violet at all?"
"Why are you asking me? Ask the person who shattered the veins!"
After overcoming the crisis of death, the shocked apprentices were thrown in another turmoil. The light magic wielder seemed to possess violet level talent? A supreme talent? Impossible! They refused to accept such a result, make such a comparison.
They had barely breathed a sigh of relief, when a movement caught their attention, drawing their sight and mind back onto the shattered stone room.
They were desperate to know which new apprentice caused such an upheaval in the test room.
There, amidst the rubble of crumbled grey stones, a lone figure, clad in purple-red robes, gracefully stood.
Her aura and presence made her seem as if she was not standing in the middle of a rubble, debris, and ruins, but on a high dais with flower petals fluttering beneath her feet.
The silent figure, gave of an unconcealed aura of majesty and mystery, glory and power, might and authority.
Gasps of astonishments rang out once again, apprentices and elders alike, looking thunderstruck.
"It is her?"
This cry was one full of disbelief, unwillingness, and resentment, all coiled together into one horrified shriek.
