There wasn't much excitent on Luis' face. He turned to Lumine and asked. "How much ti has passed?"
"Around 3 minutes," Lumine replied with a smile. When she heard the mysterious voice say that Luis would despair, she was worried. But looking at him, it seems he is alright.
Luis nodded and turned his focus on listening to the mysterious voice again.
{You have stood bravely and didn't let your mind get broken. You even broke the illusion, which may even break down people with the strongest of hearts. Good work [Challenger].} The mysterious voice sounded very excited and happy with Luis' performance.
{For passing the first test, a reward is given to the [Challenger].}
Luis' eyes shone brilliance as he expectantly waited for the voice to continue. 'It should be that, right?'
As if answering to his doubts, the mysterious voice said.
{It's a skillbook called ntal Fortitude (A)}
The next mont, a green light fell from the sky, easily passing through the barrier and stopping in front of Luis. A dark green book appeared, floating in front of him.
Getting the reward he wanted, Luis excitedly touched the book and channeled his mana. The book disappeared and a green light entered his body.
Luis felt that his mind was suddenly refreshed and his heart beca calr. 'Are these the effects of this skill?'
In the second ga, this ntal Fortitude skill's use was that the player had resistance towards fear status and the combat ability won't decrease even in the critical condition, with so resistance to debuffs, and mind attacks. Also, the decrease in fighting abilities due to poison, paralysis, or other debuffs was a little restrained. As per the true nature of this skill, it could never be used thoroughly.
Inside the ga, it was just an auxiliary skill with so benefits. But in real life, this skill is priceless.
In a ga, the player controls the character, so the character's ntal condition doesn't affect the gaplay much.
But in the real-world things are different, facing those dangerous enemies with powers to bring calamities. Having a calm heart and being able to analyze that dangerous situation is very important.
Luis knew there would be many benefits to this skill that weren't ntioned in the ga, which he will slowly discover. He knew this skill was indispensable for him.
Seeing that, Luis was done using the skillbook. The voice sounded again.
{Now the [Challenger] gets ready for the second test.}
Without any explanation, the voice announced. {Let's begin.}
And the next mont, Luis disappeared from the arena.
This ti Lumine panicked. Although she knew this was sothing related to the test. But not being able to see Luis made her heart restless.
"What should I do?" She mumbled.
Alicia beside her thought of sothing and shouted. "Can we watch the Challengers test? Isn't it better to have an audience?"
Lumine looked at Alicia, surprised. She didn't expect her to co up with sothing like this. But even after waiting for so ti, there was no response.
Her eyes beca dull in dismay. But the next mont, a huge screen appeared in the middle of the arena.
"It's Luis."
Alicia smiled with a soft sigh, while Lumine's heart relaxed a little.
On the screen, they could see Luis taking the test. But the next mont screen shifted and the contents of the screen made them gulp in horror.
"Is that real?" Alicia mumbled with a disbelieving expression.
"I think so." Lumine nodded and, with a serious expression, uttered. "They are evil spirits."
***
Opening his eyes, Luis once again found himself in an unfamiliar place. A creepy mansion in front of him stood tall with dark surroundings and dim light.
The deserted mansion with no presence of life made his scalp tingle. Fortunately, his vision adjusted itself to the surroundings and gradually he had no trouble seeing in the dark.
'Thanks, Dad.' Luis thought gratefully. If he didn't have the [Perception] Skill things would have been troubleso.
This ti he was certain it wasn't an illusion, rather he was teleported sowhere.
Luis looked around, and outside the periter of the mansion, there was nothing. Only darkness. He wasn't sure if it was related to the Darkness elent or not. But the repelling force made him certain he can't go outside.
Shifting his focus on the creepy, dilapidated mansion in front of him, Luis made his move.
As he got closer to the mansion, he found a few dark shadowy figures moving around the mansion, curious about the unfamiliar entity that approaching them.
Soon he heard the mysterious voice speaking to him.
{The second test has begun. Purify all the evil spirits and source behind that evil energy.}
Normally in the ga, the protagonist had Holy Magic with him. Because of that, he wasn't affected by the evil spirits and easily cleared the test by purifying them.
But Luis doesn't have Holy Magic in his arsenal. Furthermore, the requirent for clearing this test is not to eliminate the evil spirits, but to purify them.
It was unfair to him. But Luis had a slight smile on his face as he thought, 'Fortunately, the test is the sa.'
Luis took out a torch burning with the green fla from inside his Pocket Space. As soon as the torch was taken out, the chill Luis was feeling decreased and his tensed nerves relaxed. All the shadowy figures escaped.
'Now I won't be affected by the evil spirits.' Luis thought as he approached the mansion.
Entering the mansion, and with his Perception, he found an evil spirit in no ti. The evil spirit launched a dark energy attack at Luis. His nerves tensed, but the next mont, the dark energy was sucked into the green fla. Not harming him in the slightest.
Luis smiled and saw that the evil spirit was ready to escape. He imdiately rushed and threw that torch at the evil spirit.
The evil spirit scread, burning in green flas and at the next mont, only a white shadow was left, which slowly disappeared from his sight.
Luis picked up the torch and smiled cheekily. "So what if I don't have Holy Magic? I'll use Ghost Fire."
