Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance

Chapter 388 Battle Maiden Sect Entrance Exam Part 7



When the five women with tokens were around 100 meters away from the Outer Court, Mira threw the ice crystals at them. Before they even had the chance to dodge, the ice crystals crashed into their waist, causing them to lose their balance and fall. This resulted in the participants chasing them to be able to catch up and began fighting them for their tokens.

Mira chuckled, seeing how chaotic things were going, but she didn't sit still either.

She ran over towards them and waited until the skirmishes reached their climax. Luckily, this didn't take long.

As soon as Mira saw the glimmer of hope in their eyes, she charged in!

"NOOOOOOO-! ACK!"

"YOU DEVILISH BASTARD! WHY?!"

"FUUUUUCC-!"

Mira smashed their faces into the ground once again and took their tokens.

"Hehe~ You'll have to try harder next time. Alright, seeing how pathetic you lot are, I'll give you guys a chance. I'll leave 10% of the tokens from the next batch of people that show up to you. Whether that means there are 20 tokens or 200 tokens, they are yours to fight over. However, just know that this time around, you'll be competing against those who just got their tokens taken by me this time around." Mira chuckled and walked away.

The other women's expressions darkened, never feeling so humiliated and angry in their entire lives. Worst of all, they can't do anything about it! If they want to enter the Sect, they need a token.

Sure, they can try and rally other people to attack Mira, but what if Mira just decides to run away and waste their time? There probably isn't a single person here that can catch Mira if she doesn't want to be caught.

A few minutes later, the people Mira knocked unconscious woke up and began behaving just like the first batch of people she beat up.

However, this time Mira handled things a bit differently. While she could beat them up over and over again, that's simply a waste of time and isn't interesting at all.

So, when the large group of people threatened Mira that they would attack her en masse, she 'reluctantly' gave up a few of her tokens.

"Alright! Alright! Since you guys are all going to attack me, I'll return your tokens."

After Mira said that, she threw over ten of her tokens and then ran off, leaving these words behind, "Fight over these tokens yourself. If you want the rest, you can either waste your time coming after me, or you can take them from the other participants."

The participants were immediately enraged when they noticed Mira only threw out ten tokens when she must have over one hundred, but they also noticed that she was too fast for them to catch up to. That being the case, they could only fight over the ten tokens that Mira threw and then wait for the next wave of participants to show up.

From afar, Mira watched the 200+ participants fight amongst themselves over who should get a token. She snickered at the chaos that was ensuing, but she also had a reason for doing this other than just having fun…

In less than five minutes, most of the women fighting over those ten tokens had been knocked out, so only 30 remained. These 30 are clearly much more skilled and intelligent compared to the rest as they were able to last this long.

Well, that's not too surprising since 20 of them are the first batch of women Mira beat up. Those 20 are faster, stronger, and have a higher battle IQ compared to the others, even with their strength sealed.

Of course, they are still newbies in Mira's eyes, but for kids who haven't seen much of the world, they aren't bad.

Unfortunately, before the 30 of them could fight it out, Mira had already snuck up and began beating them up before collecting the ten tokens she tossed out.

"Dammit! WHY?! Can't you just give us one?! You probably have over a hundred!! With how many people you can take down, you'd undoubtedly be able to enter the Top 10! Why not just give us one!?"

One of the women who had been getting beaten up by Mira repeatedly screamed. She was at her wit's end right now! Every time she felt like she was about to pass the Exam, she would get smacked in the face with a tail!!

"Hmph! I've already told you this. I'm the only one who can enter the Sect this year!" Mira said as she looked at the woman in disdain.

"Then what about them?! Why aren't you beating them up?!" The woman pointed at Maria, Asami, and the auburn-haired girl.

Mira glanced in their direction for a few seconds before saying, "Well, the blonde-haired woman and black-haired chick are with me, so why would I beat them up? As for the other girl, I'll deal with her later."

The girl was stunned and didn't know what to say. Mira didn't wait for her answer either and walked away from them to wait for the next wave of people to beat up…

***

"Ummm… Little Celaine, do you know if your friend has a few screws loose? Why is she doing this? I mean, I'm not complaining as I'm able to examine each person better, but I have no idea why that Mira girl would want to do this." Elder Sandra asked Celaine as they watched Mira play with the participants like they were little children.

Celaine, on the other hand, was a bit shocked, but not for the reason that Elder Sandra thought.

'Maybe she's also curious why her friend would do something like this?' Elder Sandra thought to herself as she waited for Celaine's answer.

"While I can't say that I know Mira like the back of my hand, I'd say that I have a pretty good understanding of her personality. From what I know of Mira, she's probably just bored." Celaine said after giving it some thought.

"Bored?!" Ender Sandra was both stunned and confused. Bored? Why would Mira be bored?

Celaine had a strange expression on her face as she wasn't sure how to explain it.

"Ahem! That's just a guess of mine, but it's not without any basis. As you can see, Mira's strength, even sealed, is more than enough to take care of the other participants. She's generally not the type of person to bully the weak just because she's stronger, as she finds no joy in doing so. Well, unless she has a purpose for beating them up. So, she probably wanted to spice up the Entrance Exam to make it a bit more interesting, so it doesn't feel like she's just beating up a bunch of weaklings." Celaine explained, and now it was Elder Sandra's turn to have a strange expression on her face.

"Is that really the case? It seems to me she's having a good time beating them up." Elder Sandra said.

Celaine wanted to say something, but she couldn't really argue with that as it really seemed like Mira was enjoying it.

"Ahaha… Well, she's always been pretty heavy-handed. I think she's enjoying the chaos she's making right now rather than the act of beating them up. As for the other reason, I think she's doing this… I believe it's to find hidden gems."

"Hidden gems?"

"Yeah. Mira's always had a weird quirk where she likes to find talented people, and if she can't find anyone talented, then she'll just beat them up until they learn to become talented."

"Oh? It sounds like you speak from experience." Elder Sandra's interest was piqued when she heard the bitterness in Celaine's voice.

"....Yeah. Years ago, not long after I started my cultivation journey, she thought of me as someone talented and began forcing me to train like my life depended on it… Actually, now that I think about it, I think my life did depend on it. Maria is another example of this, though she wasn't very talented, to begin with. From what I understand, Mira wants to use these talented people to further her own skills. For example, she wants to use my talent in the Saber to try and better understand Weapon Intent."

"Interesting… She seems really interesting. Although her cultivation is low, she seems to have a lot of worldly experience. At least, those eyes aren't something that can be found in a child who has only reached the Core Formation Realm. It really makes one think she's the reincarnation of some top expert or something." Elder Sandra said those words without thinking much as she stared intently at Mira, causing her to miss Celaine's shocked expression.

One has to know that although Celaine doesn't know much about Mira, she knows that Mira has her previous life's memories.

Luckily, Celaine controlled herself in just a split second before trying to change the subject.

"Anyways, that's what I think Mira is trying to do. She's just trying to scope out the competition and look for anyone that might prove to be useful in the future, all the while curing her boredom."

"Ah! Yeah. Well, whatever. I'm also interested to see how things play out and what she'll do next, so I won't intervene. After all, this is what the Outer Court is going to be like if they enter the Sect. If they can't handle this much, then they aren't worthy of my Battle Maiden Sect!!" Elder Sandra announced.

Celaine lightly shook her head, but she was also curious.
