Ascension: Demon Monarch System

167 Prelude to the Academy Choosing Ceremony
'----'

'While Apollo continued inside the training pavilion

the matters back at the site of the selection trial went on. However

things took an odd turn. Now that a sizable amount of the talents were ejected from the mix

the balance on the path of Apollo's team was disrupted.'

'They traversed the path much slower than expected. As a result

it conjoined with a path it wasn't meant to. But

it served as their saving grace. They ran into the magnanimous Ragnvald. Due to him sensing Nadida and Apollo's aura on them

he offered to help them reach the end.'

'For days

the people sat in the stands as they watched the contestants survive and tap into strengths they didn't know they possessed. When one desperately clung to life

every ounce of power hidden in their being would be released simultaneously.'
