The Retired Hero is an Extra

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Ending the Entrance Test

Ziva used her elemt to overpower Ava and Sylvie, eliminating them despite their struggle against her elemt.

To everyone's utter shock and horror, she had basically decimated half the top girls.

—Boom!

At the same time as their barrier activated, creating a gap in her sight, Caera's condsed fireball spell struck Ziva.

At least that was what Caera thought until finding Ziva walk out unscathed from the explosion.

"But how?" Caera asked in shock before remembering that Jash advised her not to mess with Ziva.

She thought he was joking or messing a with her, but her currt situation seemed to reflect he was aware of Ziva's abilities.

And indeed he was, whether it was from the novel or by talking to her at the d of the Imperial Banquet.

Talking about Jash, he was in the same position as earlier with intse muscle pain.

Ev the slightest movemt was ough to elicit screams from deep inside him.

'It should be time for that now,' he sighed, knowing he would have to grit through the pain for it.

At the time, he was the only one on the island, similar to Ziva after she easily eliminated Caera.

The groove also seemed to hold the same insignia of the Solarnelle Academy itself.

It was as if the groove was not merely a decorative feature but also a functional one, designed with both artistry and purpose in mind.

Looking at it, Ziva was confused for a second as the size closely resembles that of the boss monster's scale, but...

'Wasn't it just a simulated monster? Where do I find its scales?'

Without another choice, she could only return to the place where the boss monster was defeated, looking for its scales.

On the other side, Jash was still in the same position despite knowing what needed to be placed and where.

He needed time to recover a bit and gain some mtal resilice to bear through the pain.

'Damn! Why did I ev bring them away in the first place!?'

He inwardly lamted his own decisions, regardless of it being his own backup plan and the reason for him to have won the battle.

No matter, the problem remained the same.

However, the audice that was watching the scre being split to show Ziva and Jash were too excited at this point.

They had se one amazing thing after another, increasing their excitemt to unprecedted levels.

"Damn! What's he doing!? He should be
