Moonlight After Sunset's
[S2E77] Element Manipulation

"Each element will show the uniqueness of each and you just need to use it."

******************#####****************

The artificial forest that the academy possessed was spread almost throughout the entire school area. The forest was deliberately made to facilitate teachers in providing material outside the classroom.

One of those artificial forests is also known as the borderless forest where Dusk is currently located. In the forest there are no living creatures because the forest was deliberately designed for practical purposes.

As the students were busy observing the surroundings, one of the staff came back and told them to immediately march towards the depths of the forest.

"Sir, why don't we just do it here?" ask the exhausted female student to walk.

"The test can not be done on the lips of the forest because it can disturb other residents who are outside" explained the staff while giving mineral water to the student.

A few minutes later, they reached the middle of the forest. The central area of the forest did not contain many trees because the trees in the area had been replaced with simple combat fields.

"Welcome to the field of battle, you can sit there while waiting for your turn to be called." exclaimed Miss Aila as she pointed to the right side of the field which contained the audience seats.

"Wait for Miss, we don't know who will first perform." exclaimed one of the students from the crowd.

Unlike previous exams where students would be given sequential numbers, in this exam they did not even get any clue as to who would perform first.

"You will appear according to the order of the name, it starts from the alphabet A." replied Miss Aila as she shook the absent sheet in her hand.

Hearing Miss Aila's explanation, many students looked happy but there were also some of them with sour faces.

"Alright, the first student who will perform is Acha Vessel." continued Miss Aila before the students sat in her chair.

"Acha, you don't have to sit down, come here immediately." cried Miss Aila once.

"Acha spirit, you can certainly." exclaimed the female student who had been side by side with Acha.

"Yes Acha, you can do it. The spirit." chimpanzees his other friend.

The student named Acha was a popular student in the twilight class. She is an oval-faced young girl with a beautiful face. His eyes were jet black with short, shoulder-length black hair.

The appearance is very fashionable so it is only natural that many men like it. Moreover, Acha is not only beautiful, she is also smart. But in accordance with its popularity, Acha is very dislike Dusk.

"Well, I hope he won't overdo it" murmured at Dusk as he saw the arrogant face of Acha who was listening to Miss Aila's instructions.

Soon after that Dusk saw Acha who was trying to take out his Mana. When viewed from the color of his aura that is dark brown, Dusk is sure if Acha is a witch element of the land.

"It's not bad it's just that his Mana handling is fucked up. If he continues like that then the state of his element manipulation will be difficult." murmured Dusk softly.

Dusk continued to focus on seeing the mistakes made by Acha. He realized if using too much energy then it will have a bad impact on where.

"I will focus on controlling energy, so that the Mana I will come out is not that much" murmured Dusk as he wrote a review for Acha.

As the process goes unnoticed the Acha exam session has ended. Fortunately, he was able to complete the test in time with the result of manipulation of soil elements into solid ceramic forms.

"Next Akira,"

The student named Akira immediately got up from his seat. He did the same with Acha. Where he just focuses his Mana energy to turn fiber water into drinkable mineral water.

"I don't know if the water element can purify other liquids." Inner Dusk was amazed by Akira's ability.

"Next..."

One by one students are called upon to demonstrate their ability in element manipulation. Until finally it was Alisa's turn to come forward.

"Alisa," exclaimed Miss Aila who had no response at all from the student.

"Alisa Adore." call Miss Aila one more time.

"Alisa...!!?"

Miss Aila kept calling but Alisa did not reveal her form at all. It was as if he had never been there in the first place. Unfortunately no one was aware of his absence.

"Miss," called one of the staff who distracted Miss Aila's attention.

The staff was seen discussing something with Miss Aila. After that, there was a shocked and confused face from Miss Aila.

"Alright, I understand." said Miss Aila who can be heard by some students.

"Next is Amir Beck." exclaimed Miss Aila after returning to her original position.

Some of the students who were originally silent were now confused. They could see Miss Aila's shocked and confused expression but they had no idea what the two were discussing.

"Is Alisa truant again?" ask the student who is next to Ronald.

"No idea," retorted Ronald indifferently.

"Basically, he had already left the classroom many times. He became like someone, "a female student who looked annoyed while glancing at Dusk.

"Hah, why am I again." Inner Twilight was upset when she was equated with Alisa.

"But before that, what about Amir." continued Dusk before returning to focus on Amir who was listening to Miss Aila's instructions.

A few minutes later, Amir begins to manipulate his elements. When viewed from the color of the aura, it is clear that Amir has the same wind element as Dusk.

Amir's wind element continued to move freely so that the Mana it possessed slid in all directions. If you look back at this time Amir is manipulating the air around him.

"Will Amir make high-pressure air?" tanya Dusk is still focusing on what Amir is doing.

It didn't take long for Amir to finish his exam. It can deftly make the air around it become lower.

Dusk who saw the situation slightly frowned in surprise, he did not expect that Amir was this strong. Not quite frankly, Dusk was aware that Amir was strong but somehow Amir's character was very different from the strength he had.

"I've seen how Amir flies other students, but strangely somehow every time I talk to him, Amir always gives a weak impression."

The twilight is more confused, the article is not only Alisa and Ronald are strange but Amir as well. Somehow for what reason Dusk felt that the three had kept a great secret.

"I must be vigilant," murmured Dusk as he looked at Amir who had already finished his test.

Dusk then wrote what advantages Amir had and shortcomings in the test earlier. After that, other students were called, so it did not feel that time had run two hours.

"It's time to rest" exclaimed Miss Aila then allowing the students to get out of the forest.

Miss Aila's break was 35 minutes. In that time the students can consume food as well as restore stamina due to fatigue waiting.

After the break ended, it was Ronald's turn to perform. Although Dusk was not too eager to interfere but he was also curious about the power that Ronald had.

"I must record it well" murmured Dusk as he watched the light blue color surround Ronald.

When viewed from the color of the aura, it is clear if Ronald is a water element witch. A rare magician who is difficult to find because of his ability as a healing system.

"Will Ronald copy the student?" ask one of the students who is not far from Dusk.

"I don't think, no matter how good Miss Aila is, she definitely wouldn't be happy if her students were imitating others." another student who was approved by her colleague.

The students are deliberately separated to sort out which students have performed and which have not. Students who have performed deliberately are not sent home because they are required to write a review of all students who take the exam.

After Dusk heard his friend's chatter, he then returned to focus on Ronald. And right now Ronald is making tiny cotton swabs that look like clouds.

Ronald then filled the little cotton with his water element. The element then drains Mana at different pressures.

"What a strange thing." murmured Dusk as he looked at the cotton that was beginning to change color.

The color of cotton that was previously white is now dark. Surprisingly after the cotton changed color, water droplets appeared around Ronald's hand.

"Damn, that's a prototype rain cloud...!" shouted the students who had previously performed.

The student looked in disbelief even Miss Aila looked surprised. They didn't expect Ronald to have succeeded in creating a rain cloud even if it was just a prototype.

"He is just like Amir, looks weak when strong." lamented Dusk does not like.

After the show Ronald is now the turn of female students beside Dusk. The student then appears and demonstrates his ability in handling element manipulation.

"Although not as good as Ronald but his ability in the balance of Mana is worth appreciating." said Dusk slowly.

After waiting for an hour, it is now the turn of Dusk to perform. He calmly went towards the middle of the field where Miss Aila was.

"Are you ready?" miss Aila asked with her friendly smile.

"It's Miss,"

"Alright, then this is the instruction."

Miss Aila then explained the instructions that Dusk should do. The instructions were not easy but also not difficult, where Dusk had to make the manipulation of elements with a new shape.

"Do you understand?" ask Miss Aila as usual.

"Already," replied Dusk firmly.

After that Miss Aila allowed twilight to make her element manipulation. Since Dusk has more than one element, Miss Aila suggests Dusk manipulate its fire element.

With a single breath of Dusk immediately channeled his Mana towards the palm of the hand. The mana flowed quietly before it slowly came out.

"I must be able to control this Mana before it depletes me," the inner Dusk imagined a rose garden.

With his training with Lucas, Dusk was finally able to control his Mana. Where it came out in accordance with the wishes of Dusk and now Mana began to form a new form.

"I can't show them if I'm level 9. But I also can't let them make fun of me for being weak."

With this belief Dusk planned to make a crystal ball of fire element. Normally a crystal ball could only be made from the ice element.

But due to his long training with Lucas, Dusk can easily create a crystal ball using all its elements.

It took ten minutes for the fire element to start crystallizing. But it's not entirely perfect. Dusk still needed Mana reinforcement to lock his blue flame away from exploding.

"Uhm, I'm going to shrink the pressure frequency, I think it's going to work."

After a long hypothesis Dusk finally decided to lower the air pressure levels on the crystal ball. After the air level was lowered, the crystal ball now looks more perfect.

"Done," cried Dusk glad.

PROK....!

PROK....!

Miss Aila excitedly clapped her hands, she was so happy that Dusk could complete her exam within 13 minutes. The time was 7 minutes faster than the requested limit so Miss Aila felt proud.

"Congratulations, you have successfully passed." continued Miss Aila as she extended her hand.

"Ah, thank you Miss." replied Dusk while handing over her crystal ball.

"This ball looks good, how do you trap fire in it?"

"That's, uhm.., I was just trying to keep her from coming out Miss. It's more like putting that fire into a ball."

"Is that so?" miss Aila asked still in disbelief.

"Right Miss, like that."

"Hmm, alright now you can rest there."

Miss Aila then told Dusk to go to the chair that had been reserved for students who had finished performing. The chair had also been filled a lot by students who were staring at Dusk unhappy.

"Huh, just ignore them." Inner Dusk before choosing a chair that was a great distance away from the other students.

After Dusk sat down, he could see other students were being given instruction by Miss Aila. After that, the student immediately manipulates the elements that show that he is a witch of the earth element.

"There were 3 more people left before the end of this exam." muttered Dusk who could not stand the strange gaze of his classmates.

They seemed to be able to kill Dusk with that look. Even though Dusk had already ignored them but ever since he was in that place, his entire eyes were still focused on him.

Dusk a little confused and upset, if he knows the end will be like this then it would be better if they are returned without having to write a review.

Unfortunately, all of that is just the imagination of Dusk. In addition, it took an hour until all the remaining students managed to complete the exam.

"Alright, because all the students are done in the exam. Now you can collect review papers on the staff before returning home." exclaimed Miss Aila as she glanced at the guard staff who were around the field.

After that each student immediately went to see the guard staff and gave his review paper.

"Hmm, only this time all the students managed to pass the exam." exclaimed one of the staff who was not far from his friend who was collecting papers.

"Right, I think Miss Aila is too kind." another timpal shook his head with a look of pity.

I don't know why the opinions of the staff make Dusk think strange. She also felt that Miss Aila was too good to pass all the students who attended her class.

"I'm sure Miss Aila definitely knew that the average student who took the exam always failed in controlling their Mana." Inner Dusk after recalling the results of her review.

To be honest they could pass the exam because the instructions given by Miss Aila were not burdensome. It's just that they take longer to complete the exam.

"If thought back they should have been able to complete this exam within 15." shrieked Dusk confused.

The average speed of students in completing the exam ranges from 18 to 20 minutes. And it was a time that was in line with the limit Miss Aila had given.

Dusk was sure that Miss Aila had expected this beforehand. Dusk knew that Miss Aila was one of the favorite teachers that many students liked.

But according to Dusk Miss Aila's kindness will only backfire on herself. Unfortunately Dusk did not know if Miss Aila had her own plan that even the other teachers did not know.

To be honest Miss Aila is a colleague of Prof Edward who has almost equal strength to a Sage. He was deliberately in the outer region to spy on students who he considered worthy of being in advanced classes.

Because the advanced class is a superior class that is not accessible to all students so that a letter of recommendation is needed for students who want to be there.

The twilight who was unaware of Miss Aila's mission could only shake her head in surprise before deciding to leave the artificial forest.
