William Barnfield gave Ryan a piece of paper with a numerical code, the young man then followed walking to the control panel, a small board with numbers from one to ten.
"093254732853902345... Ok, Guess it's done"
After typing in the code, he clicked on a button written START.
*Wimp*
The confirmation sound was followed by a strange sound, it was as if he was having an earthquake. Actually, it was just the mana plates being adapted. The floor of that place could be modified and transformed as the instructor preferred.
Quickly that long, vast white floor was transformed into a kind of city. With small buildings of up to at least two stories. The structure was so large that it was actually possible to imagine at least five hundred people living comfortably inside those houses.
Ryan followed the same path, but this time there was a street connecting the control panel and the main square where the rest of the class was.
"Well, now that Ryan has arrived. I'll start the explanation" Barnfield said, as he turned toward the town.
"If you guys look at it, this project was made to look like the village of Wintergold. The place where the last special portal appeared, most of the travelers who went to that duel did not have good enough locomotion skills to be able to run across the rooftops and dodge the attacks of the night dragons that were coming out of the portal. "
Mr.William then pulled out of his pocket a remote control, and with one button, activated the challenge. The lights in that gigantic building began to glow red, flashing every five seconds.
One of the white iron walls opened, releasing a water elemental dragon. The creature had the shape of a four-legged dragon and two large wings with small white dots shining inside. The dragon's entire skin was transparent, and you could also see how it had three larger spheres of light inside its body.
One of the spheres on its head and two on its chest.
"Today's class will be your first practical test, and it will count as 80% of your grade for next semester. You must cross without being knocked down by the water elemental dragon, or, if any student defeats the dragon, I will release to you the option to perform a simple obstacle course."
All the students in the class began to whisper, some worried while others were especially calm. Part of the girls' group were nervous, Ryan was close to her and could hear everything clearly.
"That's scary... I'm training to be a healer, I won't be able to dodge that"
"Yeah... And me focusing on being a tank, I haven't trained mobility enough"
Everyone was thinking about how they could deal with this challenge, and the biggest problem for that class, was precisely the fact that none of those students appeared to be strong enough to defeat the dragon.
On the other side of the group, a girl raised her arm. She had short blond hair, as well as blue eyes and a serious expression on her face.
"Mr.Barnfield, will whoever can defeat the dragon get any bonuses?"
Everyone was startled by the girl's question, after all, most did not know about Alice Lightstone's ability.
William Barnfield then placed one of his hands on his chin, and thinking seriously, he turned to everyone with a smile on his face.
"He who defeats the dragon will pass my course, in the same instant"
Everyone in the class was excited by this proposal, so the fear and anxiety decreased dramatically. Barnfield gestured with his hands and released so that the students could leave towards the other side of that training city.

As the students climbed into the houses and tried to jump from roof to roof, the water elemental dragon mercilessly took them down one by one. Launching long bursts of water and small spheres of water, the students ended up being knocked to the ground, some even carried by the water to the beginning of the main square.
One of the dragon's abilities was precisely to create a current of water that trapped the target and pushed him back to the beginning.
Most of the kids in that class ran off furiously, only to run out of breath minutes later and be attacked by the dragon. After about ten minutes, most of the students were already completely soaked.
Only a small group of students remained at the beginning of the main square, without moving forward. Most were girls who were afraid of getting their clothes wet, but there were also some boys who were afraid of embarrassing themselves in front of the class.
William Barnfield was watching for those students at first, not for the weak and afraid to act, but for two girls and one boy in particular.
'Hmm... These two students name is Sara Hellpike and Alice Lightstone... They are having an interesting conversation' William thought.
Mr. Barnfield then approached the two students to better hear the plan. The two girls were doing what seemed to be a planning, while Alice, the blonde girl explained a possible route to the two, Sara, who had short black hair and red eyes, watched and commented on the possibilities of that goal
"If we move around the sides we can avoid the attacks while the dragon is distracted with most of the students in the center" Alice proposed.
"But if we end up with the dragon's aggro, we'll end up getting knocked down easily. If we fall off the roof at the lateral, we will be easily taken to the start" Sara concluded.
Their thinking was right, after all, it was impossible to advance through the ground, but the first moment the dragon was going to attack, it was practically game over.
They still don't understand that the ideal is to go in groups alternating the movement on the roof and sharing the Aggro" This was the answer William had expected when he proposed this challenge, but he could not imagine Ryan Whitemane's solution.
Barnfield was surprised at the way Ryan was analyzing that city. The young man was carefully observing each of the buildings, as if confirming that his ideas were going in the direction he wanted.
To the eyes of the old professor, young Whitemane was one of the most interesting students. As weak and incapable as he was, he always found a way to excel in the challenges he set in class.
