Nanomancer Reborn - I've Become A Snow Girl?

Chapter 1010 Completing the Test

There were noticeable contestants in each of the batches and Shiro had to admit, just picking out 10 of each to take to the city seemed a little wasteful now but she knew her limits and looking after at least 20 people was already a pain.

"This one is good enough. Put them to the next round." Shiro said, handing one of the documents to Nan Tian.

Leaning back, Shiro massaged her eyes and sighed deeply since they’ve been doing this for a few hours now and sorting through all of them was a pain. Even after the initial sorting process there were still more than 300 that were qualified. They had to continue to cull the group down until there were only 20 people left.

"If you’re tired why don’t you rest. Silvia and the others are more than capable enough to see who has talent." Nan Tian suggested but Shiro shook her head.

"It’s fine. I’m tired but I need to be here. If I just leave in the middle it wouldn’t have a good image. Let’s see... This guy, her, her and him. Pass onto the next round immediately. There’s no need to test them with these guys considering what I can see already. They’re a tier above the rest when it comes to their techniques." Shiro yawned lightly before pointing her hand to a few of the contestants and handed their information to Nan Tian.

Continuing to sort through the group, it took them all the way till 11pm for there to only be 30 people left. They had to sort through the remaining 30 until there were only 20 people left but all of them were the best of the best. It was unfortunate that both Elai and Tang Fu Yuan had been eliminated but Shiro had already set aside a program for the both of them to cultivate their talents so it wasn’t much of a loss.

Looking at the 30 people left, Shiro thought for a moment before an idea entered her mind.

"For the final test, I want to see how effective you are at emergency treatment. How would you react if you’re constantly wounded by the enemy? How efficiently can you heal while enduring the pain? For this, I’ll launch an attack on all of you. Whether or not if you can pass is up to you since you’ll need to endure this if you want to survive. There is no guarantee that Queens won’t appear during our trip so if you can’t at least heal your friends and yourself while avoiding collateral then it’ll be a waste to bring you. Once all of you are ready, I’ll let you put up a barrier to start things off. Think of it as a handicap." Shiro said as she jumped down and landed in front of them.

During her jump, she had quickly drunk a mana potion without them knowing since it wouldn’t be good if they knew she had to rely on potions right now.

Sensing her aura, all of the contestants swallowed their saliva as barriers were erected around them.

Once she was sure that all of them had barriers up, Shiro nodded her head in satisfaction.

"Alright. In that case then I shall begin. I’ll increase the intensity over time but for now, let’s start with level 1." Shiro smiled.

Drawing a rune in the air, Shiro tapped it lightly with her finger as thousands of snowflakes appeared around the arena. Each of them had a thin sheet of nanobots coating the edge so that they were extra sharp.

Snapping her fingers, the snow flakes started to move as a bloody blizzard appeared in front of her.

Quickly sitting down, quite a few clerics started to heal themselves while activating protective skills so that they could focus.

As for the alchemists, they had started to draw runes around them to act as a barrier while they quickly made supplies to stop the bleeding and heal their body with potions.

"Seems like no one was eliminated. That’s good. Level 2." Shiro smiled.

Snapping her finger, the blizzard increased in intensity as it started to shred the floor beneath them.

The sound of glass shattering could be heard constantly as barriers were being broken faster than they were being activated.

Within the crowd, there were five within the healer group that were extremely composed. There was a tier 5 magic circle beneath him that constantly had the runes flicker back and forth as Shiro could tell it was rotating between activating a barrier and healing his body.

The moment the barrier drops, a burst of healing would offset the damage he took before reactivating the barrier again.

Another was similar to Silvia. He had no barrier after the first one shattered but he was out healing the damage he took.

The remaining three had entered a formation of sorts. They sat close to one another and their magic circles would merge to form a stronger array that protected them from the damage while also healing any form of damage they took.

Overall, these five had the easiest time within level two. But she knew that there are some who seem like they’re about to fail but are tenacious. She was one of them especially after her skill she received upon completing the mount Olympus steps which allow her to keep fighting as long as she had the will power.

Turning it up to level three, the snow flakes became needles with paralysis effects. She wanted to see how they react to the sudden element shift.

Amazingly, all of them reacted accordingly and gave themselves either a paralysis resistance or status immunity buff for a short period.

The first person to be eliminated was at level five. At that point, the blizzard had become an array of daggers, lightning and a multitude of other elements.

Keeping your cool in this situation was very difficult and 50% of the people here were now struggling.

Waving her hand, Shiro healed the person with her life fire as Nan Tian had someone escort the person out.

At level 6, 3 were eliminated.

Level 7, 2 were eliminated.

However, after level 7, all of the ones that stayed behind her holding on quite nicely. None of them seemed like they were about to quit.

Level 8, none were eliminated. Level 9, none were eliminated. Level 10, none were eliminated.

By this point, Shiro was more than impressed since this is the power she would use if she wanted to casually clear a low level dungeon. For these guys, this should be approaching lethal damage and yet they were holding on without any signs of faltering. She could see the burning desire in their eyes as each of them wanted to go to Vrish’ Lir.

If she was to continue with her original goal then she would need to eliminate four more people but she was tempted by a thought. If they are this tenacious, wouldn’t it be fine if she exposed them to more nanotech to see how they fend against nanobots?

But the moment she thought of this, she curbed the idea. The main problem with the nanobot class was that it becomes useless once you cannot memorise the blueprints. Without blueprints, it was nothing more than a glorified metal attunement user.

She wasn’t going to destroy their talent over curiosity.

"I’m willing to offer you a chance. If you are able to hold on until the 15th round, I will take everyone here. All 24 of you." Shiro offered with a smile.

Seeing fires of excitement burn brightly in their eyes, Shiro grinned and increased it to level 11

Level 12... level 13...

At this point, it was no longer just an elemental blizzard with daggers but rather a lethal formation of swords that threatened to cut them in half the moment there was an opening.

There was the sign of someone about to be eliminated so Shiro watched carefully.

*PING!!!

The moment his barrier broke, 10 swords stabbed towards him.

But before they could reach their target, several barriers appeared around him as the two healers near him helped stop him from being eliminated. At this point, all of them knew that their best bet would be to have everyone reach level 15. That way no one else will be eliminated.

Seeing this, Shiro smiled as their teamwork was quite good. With a good team spirit, they’ll form a nice team of combat healers similar to Silvia.

Level 14, 5 of them were about to be eliminated at once but the top five worked together to form a stronger array which fended off Shiro’s attacks.

And finally, at level 15, the barrier creaked but refused to give in. Shiro could see signs of exhaustion on their faces and smiled.

Level 15 was lethal for those below level 400. And yet this group of 24 healers worked together to hold off against this barrage of attacks. Even if she was holding back and only using one attack, it was still impressive. Plus, none of them surpassed level 400 so theoretically, this should have killed them all but they adapted well and worked together to hold out for just a single moment so that none of them were eliminated.

Waving her hand, the attack evaporated into nothingness as a faint green flame wrapped around their bodies, relieving their fatigue as Shiro walked towards them.

"Congratulations for finishing the test. As promised, I will take all 24 of you to Vrish’ Lir."
