Harem Incubus System: I Can Only Seduce And Tame Supernatural Beauties-Chapter 25: Evaluation

The moment the ball of energy reached him, Neo's eyes flared to a brilliant white, cutting through the chaos like twin beacons. Steam hissed and curled from his skin, rising in thick, swirling clouds as if his body was rapidly regenerating.

The air around him shimmered with raw power, the impact fueling a surge of life and strength that radiated from every fiber of his being.

Subconsciously, he muttered.

"Spiritual Art."

[00:01]

Just before the ball of energy could strike him, Neo vanished, like a shadow snatched by the wind. The ball of energy halted midair, its radiant form flickering, then bursting apart in a sudden, silent implosion.

The golden energy scattered like shards of light, as though some unseen force had shattered it from within.

Almost instantly, Neo reappeared high above the beast, suspended in midair like a phantom called down by the storm. A spiraling sphere of yellow flames flickered and twisted above his outstretched palm, pulsing with raw, unstable energy.

His eyes glowed even brighter as instinct took over. With a swift motion, he drove the ball downward, slamming it into the beast below with devastating force. The sky cracked open with the impact, creating a surge of thunder and light exploding across the abandoned city.

The brilliant light illuminated the area, visible to everyone in the city, and to Mason who stood in awe of the display of raw power.

"W-what?"

[Observation Room]

Back in the enclosed observation room, the two agents stood in stunned silence, their eyes fixed on the monitors.

The footage replayed the moment again and again—Neo, suspended in the air, the spiraling ball of flames, the devastating impact. Leon slowly leaned forward, as if closer proximity would make the scene easier to comprehend.

"An S-rank... taken down by a single student who isn't of noble blood?" He muttered, his voice thick with disbelief.

"Who is that kid?" Neo hadn't been among the group of students recruited alongside Mason—he was an unfamiliar face. Just like Mason, Leon had dismissed him at first glance, assuming he was another one with slim odds of passing the entrance exams.

But now, as the battlefield lit up with Neo's power, that assumption crumbled under the weight of what he was witnessing.

"Neo Tempest of the Tempest family." Lillian sat unmoving, her chin resting thoughtfully on her fist as her eyes stayed locked on the screen.

"He might look like a weak, spineless brat at first glance, but there's more to him that meets the eye. It was difficult to discover his talent given he has no control over them, neither was it easier to understand it."

"What's his ability?"

"Instinct, to put it short, Neo Tempest is a weak and spineless kid at first glance, but that's just the basis of his ability. I can't accurately explain how but, every cell in his body awakens in order to defeat his enemies, an ability driven solely by instincts. That's his innate ability, Cellular awakening."

Leon locked his eyes on the screen as the dust particles settled.

"Well, that brings an end to an intriguing first stage."

[First Stage]

As the dust settled, Neo stood over the dead body of the beast, motionless, his eyes emitting the same powerful white glow.

[Team Mason has defeated an S-rank beast!]

[The time limit has elasped!]

"Hey!" Mason sprinted toward Neo, his mind reeling, heart pounding harder with every step. The scorched earth beneath them still burnt with intense heat, but all he could focus on was the figure standing at the center of it all.

"What was that!? I can't believe you've been hiding such a technique all this time."

Silence.

Neo remained unmoved, motionless, almost as if he was in a trance.

Mason grabbed Neo by the shoulders and gave him a firm shake. "Hey! Neo!" He shouted, urgency sharpening his voice.

Neo blinked, as if waking from a trance. The radiant white glow in his eyes flickered once—then vanished, leaving only his usual gaze, dazed and distant.

"I'm gonna die!" He gasped, his chest heaving as his heart pounded against his ribs like it was trying to break free. The fear of death still clung to him, running wild through his veins. That blinding sphere of energy, was the last thing he remembered before everything went dark.

"Calm down, you're just fine, you killed the beast." He reassured him, pointing to the body of the dead beast behind him.

"I... Did that?"

[You are being transported back to the real world] ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

They were all transported back to the hall they were in before the first stage commenced, however there was a significant change. The teams of two that were a total of 670 reduced to 5.

Neo and Mason were taken aback by the mass elimination in just the first stage, earlier principal Selena had told them only a total of 90 teams could qualify for the second stage. That was her original assumption to how many teams would make it.

"Only..5 teams made it this far?" Neo's voice wavered with disbelief as he asked, eyes wide and searching. The numbers had shrunk so drastically—far beyond what he'd expected. What stunned him even more was that he was among those who had made the cut.

"If you are present here, that means you have successfully passed the first stage of the entrance Exams." Principal Selena's voice reached out to the remaining participants and they immediately turned their attention to the stage she stood on.

[Lady Kaori: 35 points]

[Neo Tempest: 35 points]

[Mason: 30 points]

[Matthew: 30 points]

[Michael: 23 points]

[Lucy: 22 points]

[Peters: 20 points]

A large holographic panel appeared above principal Selena and displayed the participants with the most significant results in the first stage.

"Congratulations on clearing the first stage." She praised them.

"B-but what happened to the other's who didn't make it back?" A participant from there stammered crowd as he asked.

"D-does that mean.." Another participant stammered.

"No they are not dead, those who failed were simply transported back to their various homes." The principal cleared their doubts.

"Now that's over with, the second stage of the entrance exams will commence in thirty minutes, till then you are dismissed. That will be all for now." The principal concluded the first stage and all the participants left the hall.

After they had all left, a holographic panel played the events of the first stage in front of Selena's eyes. The final moments of the first stage was re-played in the panel highlighting Mason's skill [Bloodlust Of he Assassin]

"Mason Harris." Selena spoke softly, watching the movements of Rentaro over and over, a smile curled up her lips as she licked them lewdly with her tongue.
