Days passed quickly after, the queen’s announcement, there was very little interference from the other competitors. They were all busy doing their own preparations for the trial ahead.
In terms of the trial, Ryla was having trouble finding good personnel. While she was well-liked among the adventurers guild she didn’t have connections to the high-ranked platinum ones.
She was only able to scrape together a band of gold-ranked adventures and silver ranks. While they were strong comparatively, they wouldn’t compare to adventurers like Hectaire.
While, Ryla could have Gildron pick up the slack she was sure that taking down the Platinum drake without casualties would be difficult.
It was in her best interest to more slowly and methodically, perhaps even steal it from her siblings. She didn’t have any delusions that should be able to defeat the platinum drake and transport the mana crystal from the lower depths to the entrance of the Lab intact.
Although it was unsavory she had to play a little dirtier than that to secure her crown.

The Day arrive quickly, with Ryla’s expectations of her parties mostly confirmed. Zachariah had the strongest among them with Mathias at a close second. Ryla herself had a larger group but she was sure that they were all strong enough to at least compete with either of her brothers.
The only thing that was unknown was the girl that Fawks had brought.
She didn’t have anybody with her besides the retainers she had initially brought to Eris.
[Is she giving up?] Ryla thought incredulously.
Even if the girl didn’t have much to work with she should’ve still been able to make a respectable party with the dregs of adventurers left in the city.
[No, she’s… not.]
The expression on the girl’s face was much more serious than Ryla expected. Like she was expecting to win.
While Ryla knew the girl’s retainers were not human, and in fact spirits. Using [Status] gave her the impression that they weren’t particularly strong. While they might be rare, it wasn’t like they were an exceptional fighter.
The half-elf girl was a little stronger but she was also rather weak in comparison to Platinum ranked adventurers.
That was until she felt a burst of mana from the girl in front of her.
[!!!]
It had happened in an instant, Ryla felt a torrent of Mana far stronger than anything she had experienced before coming from the girl and entering her spirits.
The body of spirits began to glow, and their figures began to grow. In a few mere moments, the retainers next to Kotori had grown into monsters.
The woman with dark hair had turned into a white snake-like creature, the strong wild-looking boy had become a large armored lizard the size of the house, and the girl wearing a Miko outfit had turned into a fiery-looking Fox creature.

Ryla had to stop her jaw from dropping. While she was aware that Kotori had higher than average mana she didn’t know that meant that Kotori was able to transform her spirits into such forms.
Ryla heard a voice in her heart.
“[Mimic] Activated [Mana Buff] is now usable at weakened capacity.”
[Is this what she was using?] Ryla thought
She assumed the skill was some sort of mana transferring skill. She assumed it was a simple body augmentation skill but it seems like she was mistaken. While she could now use the skill she wasn’t sure how it worked.
[I need to test this.] Ryla thought.
Her head was racing, and she was making all sorts of calculations. The girl had thrown a wrench in her plans. The monsters with her were now as strong or even stronger than platinum-ranked adventurers.
[Damn it! What is this?] Ryla screamed internally Her plans which had already grown tenuous over the past week were now fraying at the edges.
She didn’t have any time to lollygag, the temporary truce she would be offered by the queen only lasted a day and she need to make distance from the other candidate.
Ryla felt wind rushing past her.
[They’re fast too]
Kotori didn’t spare anytime and she and the monsters dove into the tunnel Ryla could see Zacariah and Mathias’s group following close behind.
She knew that with a larger group she would be slower but not wanting to be seen as weak Ryla motioned for her group to dash into the tunnel after them.

So uhhh I got busy again right as I said I was coming out of hiatus. I graduated college, and I also went on a vacation with the Family.
I've been looking forward to updating more and it actually stresses me out that I don't post. My fingers get itchy to write.
Some other things.
I have an author twitter now. Yes, this is a face reveal I guess, so go wild. I will probably post updates on the webnovels/real projects and other things going forward into the future. Want to practice having more of a social media presence so fingers crossed that this works out.
Also made a youtube channel for some voice practice/silly meme stuff so enjoy that as well.
Been trying to get more creative with me so hopefully these can be as successful as my books.
