The black-masked boy successfully trapped the eight people in shadows.
From the knees to the soles of their feet sink into the shadows, and it doesn't stop there. If this allowed to continue, it won't take long for these shadows to swallow them completely.
They were anxious because of their limited movement to mobilize their abilities fully.
Moreover, this shadow seemed to suck up their zodiac power.
The black-masked boy scoffed, "Do you guys trying to gang up on me with this mere strength?"
The gang leader calmly responded even though his foot already swallowed halfway, "Do you think so? Before we decide to do this, we have witnessed how you fight against monsters. To be honest, your abilities are quite extraordinary, and we don't have a chance to win... "
"Of course, that is in the case if we don't have the ability users to countermeasure your ability."
The black-masked boy frowned, "Countermeasure my ability? unless you can fly, it's not possible to escape from my Shadow Prison."
The leader reveals a contemptuous smile, "Really? Don't cry later. Gerald, do it!"
"If you face other opponents, maybe you can win without effort. Unfortunately, your opponent is me. My first gain ability was Shadow Absorption."
From the right side of the gang leader, there was a black-haired boy with black eyes. He opens his palm as the black shadow, which is trying to swallow his feet, quickly climbed up into it.
He grimaced, "That was means; if you are a shadow, then I am a shadow predator. I'm your worst opponent!"
...
"As expected from you, Vanessa. Your assessment is excellent, as always. How did you know that the black-masked boy would lose?" The male judge expresses his admiration.
Vanessa shakes her head as she said calmly, "The fight between children is very predictable. Even if I didn't say anything, you could certainly guess the output of this battle."
"Well, I did think that black-masked boy wouldn't stand a chance against eight people. However, it out of my expectations that the black-masked boy would stupidly choose to confront the enemies instead of running away after successfully restrain their movements." The male judge sneered.
"Indeed, I have underestimated the boldness of the new students this year."
"Ha-ha, don't be like that, Santana. They are still young and ignorant. It would be natural if they overconfident in their abilities." The last judge smiles.
"..."
"That not might be so. There are still some new students who can make good use of the opportunity. For example, this one!" The corner of Vanessa's lip curved as she watches the monitor.
"Oh," Santana's interest has been piqued by Vanessa's remarks.
When his eyes returned to the image on the monitor, he surprised.
In a sort of the moment they take off their eyes on the monitor, the group that had ganged up on black-masked boy earlier had all fallen.
"What happened to them?" the two judges shocked.
Vanessa, "Do you ever heard Sleeping Beauty Flower?"
Santana pinch his chin, "Sleeping Beauty Flower? It seems like I've heard it from somewhere..."
"It's a flower that only grows in the eastern end of the Monoceros Constellation Region. Precisely is on Paradise Island." The last judge chuckled and continued.
"Sleeping Beauty Flower itself can put anyone who breathed its powder into a deep sleep. However, what makes it dangerous is not that. When the victims fall under Sleeping Beauty Flower's ability, they will dream about what they currently want the most in the real world. Gradually they will be devoured by their dreams and never wake up."
Santana shocked and exclaimed, "What a vicious plant!"
"Wait, you mean that these kids have fallen under Sleeping Beauty Flower's ability?"
The last judge smiles lightly, "It seems that way."
Santana stunned, "How can you still smile casually when the new students are in danger?"
"Not hurry. What do you think the new students want the most at this moment?" Vanessa interrupted them.
Santana ponders for a moment, and he looks like finally understand something, "I see, what they desire the most right now is to enter Elite Class. Hence, they won't be in danger even if dreams consume them?"
Vanessa closed her eyes, "If it's that simple."
Santana puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Opened her eyes, Vanessa turns her head toward the screen of the monitor, "Humans are greedy and ambitious creatures. They were bound to ask for more when they have enough. Climb higher when they have reached the destination. Crash the walls when they reach the limit. Then, create something when the world doesn't allow it."
"Now, these new students just want the seat of Elite Class. What about after they attain it? Will it satisfy them?"
"To begin with, the true power of Sleeping Beauty Flower is to awaken one's deepest ambitions and make it bigger. After it reaches a certain degree, Sleeping Beauty Flower will reap it and then consume it."
Seeing the pictures of new students sleeping on the ground, Vanessa likens, "A dream without ambition is like a car without gas, they are not going anywhere and will end up in eternal sleep."
"That is why Sleeping Beauty Flower has named as one of the deadliest plants in the world. I was greatly surprised when I saw a new student managed to tame this kind of plant."
"If I'm not mistaken, she should be the owner of the purest bloodline among new students this year."
"Let see," The last judge tap the monitor as the panel information showed up instantly and amazed by it.
"Wah, no wonder. This new student's name is Lily Patricia, a Virgo. Her bloodline purity reaches 98% with first gain ability is Plant Tamer. Goddess!"
Santana also amazed, "How did this kind of talent appear in this small region?"
Vanessa shook her head, disagreeing with Santana's words, "Although Monoceros Constellation Region is a small constellation region, Unicorn Academy is still one of the top academies in the entire constellation regions. Naturally, some talented children want to enter this academy or maybe for other reasons that we do not know."
"Whatever the reason, this is the fortune of the academy to be able to educate a talented student like her. I suggest to put her on the list of Elite Class!"
"I agree." The last judge spoke out.
The two staring at Santana.
Feeling pressured, Santana sighed lamentably, "Is my voice still needed?"
The conclusion is a new student named Lily Patricia has become the first student of the Elite Class.
"Speaking of which, how did she put these new students into sleep?" Santana is curious.
Vanessa chuckled lightly, "She was one of the eight people who gang up the black-masked boy earlier."
Santana doesn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You mean, she betrayed them?"
