Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 159: Testing The Kids 1

Chapter 159: Testing The Kids 1

-----

[Day 100]

Because I spent most of yesterday trying out new shapes and forms using Self-Division and only getting creepy results, which ended in Benladann, Flayr, and Noirenn entering my room and fainting in horror after seeing my entire body dissected over the floor, I wasn't able to properly test the kids magic.

Calm down, nothing bad happened after that! I quickly rea.s.sembled myself and it was a happy ending, we had lunch and then dinner and we chilled out for the most part.

However, I was quite satisfied with what I did yesterday, so I had no plans on dissecting myself and see my own lungs crawl out of my open chest to see how much I could hold my breath.

Yes, I did that…

Anyways, today was the day, I was going to test these little rascals!

So we quickly descended into the ground for today, and had a little camp set up around Fuyu, the hunter family began to prepare food, mostly grilling a lot of meat, while I brought the kids with me to an epical area that I filled with dummies made of ice.

"Alright kids, today is the day! You're going to show me off your progress! I want all of you to destroy these dummies with your abilities!" I said.

"Uwah…"

"Can we do it?"

"But isn't your ice super resistant?"

"Drake, that's unfair!"

The kids started to complain…

"I know! That's why I want you to do your best! Now, show it to me, your resolve!" I said.

The kid's eyes seemed to gleam a bit, after hearing me ask them for their resolve, even the most crybaby one got a bit serious… I see, so they are ready!

The only one that wasn't partic.i.p.ating was Suu, the 1-year-old baby. That baby is just sleeping leisurely, so let us not disturb him.

The kids quickly began to unleash their magic over the dummies, and I was able to finally see with greater insight what they could do now. Although some had similar ice elements, there were still a variety of other elements.

Just as Draugann had said, they were talented, they were part of the most talented generation born in that village after all!

They are all diamonds in brute that I must polish!

Now, now, let's calm down and see!

SLASH! CLASH!

Suddenly, one of the dummies explodes into pieces… And it was no one else than Flayr's target.

Her explosive fireball made of the dummy a quick work… Amazing.

Although I feel like due to her fire affinity, this is a good matchup for her… But well, a conventional dummy would also be one, as they're usually made of wood, leather, and straw, all of them can easily be put into flames.

Fire Attribute is a wonderfully Magic affinity, it brings forth a lot of power right off the bat, its explosiveness can make up for excellent offensive long-ranged mages. Flayr has a bright future ahead.

"I-I did super-fast…" she muttered.

"Hmm! Good work, Flayr, you pa.s.sed the test!" I said.

"Yaay! Though I feel like I cheated…" she sighed.

So she also realized…

CLASH! BOOM!

However, a second kid quickly defeated her target after a few attacks… It was the little and shy Noirenn.

The little ice giant girl with short, black-colored hair seemed surprised with herself as her eyes opened wide open, her Shadow Magic was strong! She fired three Shadow Spears, her first offensive shadow magic spell, and the ice dummy fell over the ground after being pierced by three powerful spears made of shadows.

"I-I did that?!" she wondered.

"Indeed you did! Good job, Noirenn!" I said.

"Ahh… T-Thanks…" said Noirenn while shyly blushing. She's a cute girl, and she's also growing brave, she reminds me of Benladann, who pairs both of these things quite well.

These two girls were the first to finish the test, but I still had hoped for the rest, so I continued watching.

"We can't lose to our little siblings!"

Suddenly, Ellergest and Bellaluna roar at the same time, as they fire two enormous icicle spears towards the dummies!

CLAAAAASH!

The two dummies are then broke into pieces with utmost ease! Superb!

Bellaluna is the eldest girl, while Ellergest is the eldest boy, both of them being 9 and 8 respectively… well, they're still small! But more mature than the rest. Both are quite tall already, so I guess they're not really small. Their affinity is the "normal" one, being Ice, which Draugann and Benladann's parents also had, they simply used ice against ice and it worked perfectly.

"Great work!"

"We couldn't possibly let Flayr and Noirenn get all the praises, Drake!" said Bellaluna while smiling happily.

"I just showed off my strength…" said Ellergest, he was stoic and often expressionless.

"You did great," I said.

There were still three more kids left, Samantha, Jon, and Hansel.

Samantha was the second eldest girl, at 8 years of age, she was characterized for her sharp emerald eyes. Her attribute is the most troublesome for offense, Life Attribute Magic.

However, she was somehow managing. She had learned to not only heal little wounds, but Life Magic also encompa.s.sed the power of plants and animals who held life, and ultimately, even her own body and that of others.

Using this logic, she decided to control the roots of the trees nearby and was using them to attack the dummy. However, as she had not as much mana, she was taking rests in between each strong bit from the root tentacles.

"Hahh… C-Come on…!" she sighed, forcing her mana into the root as it suddenly!

SLAP!

Crack… crack!

CRASH!

The dummy was broken in half!

"I did it! Yaaaaaay!"

Samantha began to celebrate by jumping around as she celebrated screaming her lungs out.

She really did a good job.

"Good job, Samantha! I can see that you just need to sharpen your control over the plants, and you'll have a better offensive method," I said.

"T-Thank you sir Drake!" said Samantha. She was a very polite girl, so she called me "sir"… I wasn't even in my ice giant form at the moment, but it was fine.

Two more kids were left… let's see how they manage.
