Slamming the spear into the ground, Shiro quickly made some distance between the two of them since that gauntlet was clearly dangerous. Since it's a Celestial type weapon, she guessed that the gauntlet itself probably focuses on bypassing defences since it was actually able to deal damage to the spear itself.

With the danger of losing one of the clues that may lead them to the empress, Shiro wasn't exactly eager to fight Rialin anymore.

However, even if she wanted to escape, it didn't seem like Rialin was going to be very cooperative. Not only that, but she could also sense the royal family soldiers making their way towards her location as of this moment.

'Tch, what a mess.' She thought with a frown. Since she didn't want to lose the spear, she might as well set it aside for now. Twisting her body, she turned around and threw the spear as far as she could.

*BANG!!!

Just as she threw the spear, Rialin launched her fist towards Shiro's back.

"Oi, it's a little rude to sneak attack someone like that." Shiro replied as she ducked down and narrowly avoided the punch.

Sweeping towards Rialin's legs, she knocked her over before punching towards her temple in order to disorientate her.

Unfortunately, it seems like Rialin's defences had been bolstered with the appearance of the gauntlet since she didn't even flinch at the punch.

Clicking her tongue, Shiro decided to cut her losses and leave the area.

Dashing past the trees, she glanced back and saw that Rialin was currently chasing her.

"Perfect." She muttered with a smile since she wanted to drag Rialin into the soldiers so that they would suffer some collateral damage.

However, she needed to be careful so that she wasn't caught. After all, if one of the soldiers had a power similar to Phillip, her plan would shatter apart.

Activating the lightning variant of her armour, she reinforced her body and increased her speed.

Thankfully, Rialin seemed to be having a hard time catching up. While she did gain incredible defences and attack, her speed didn't change at all.

Before Shiro could even sigh in relief, she saw four people falling from the sky with spears ready to pierce her body.

'Takemikazuchi Technique – Lightning Pulse.'

Flickering from her spot, she reappeared near the soldiers like a flash of lightning and punched them on the gut, forcing their bodies to curl up in pain and fall to the ground.

Suddenly a tree entered her peripherals as Shiro quickly dodged out of the way. Looking behind her, she saw that Rialin had ripped the tree out of the ground and used it as a javelin. Even now, she was pulling up more trees.

"Damn! Think about nature ok you crazy woman!" Shiro shouted out.

Landing on the ground, she shifted her armour to the Forest element and slammed her palms against the ground. A magic circle expanded out as thick tree roots shot towards Rialin and started to bind her where she stood. Frowning slightly, Rialin tried to break free with brute force but the roots stayed intact.

Taking this chance to activate her portal, Shiro scrapped the idea of dealing more damage to the soldiers since she'll just be tempting fate at that point.

"See you next time." Shiro smiled and stuck out her tongue a little.

Jumping through the portal, she disappeared from her spot.

Meanwhile, a figure was watching the entire situation from the air. She had long dark purple hair with hints of red around the edges. A pair of ruby eyes and a rather curvy figure.

She wore a dark one piece dress that had semi translucent veils attached around the shoulders and waist.

"Hmm… interesting. Even after giving that Rialin a Celestial Gauntlet that is made for destroying weapons and armour, Shiro was actually able to preserve her Celestial Spear. Hmm… her capabilities with that Kuromi is rather high for someone of her level. Maybe I should increase this trial to Celestial God rank? Nah, doing so would be overstepping my boundaries a little. Plus, they still haven't reached the main stage yet. Right now, they're still doing the tutorial so I guess I can't be too harsh." The woman muttered with a smile.

Swiping her hand, a few screens appeared in front of her as she had a top down view of the map.

"Since she's blazing through the tutorial and has even gained access to the Celestial Energy much earlier than expected, I think I can push things up a little without too much problem. Let's see… with how things are right now, they'll probably eliminate their enemies in Teriu pretty easily and weaken the royal family. The other families would probably choose to not oppose them since it's quite tricky to stop this Shiro from leaving.

"In that case then, I'll change things up a little. The tutorial will now contain 5 Celestial Grade equipment. Celestial Spear than can pierce most defences, Celestial Gauntlet that can break weapons and armour, Celestial Shield that can block fatal attacks once every three days, Celestial Armour that massively bolsters ones defence and Celestial Jewel that reduces the cost of energy per spell. With these five, she should be able to complete the upgraded version of the main trial. Of course, to make things fair, I'll need to make sure that these items aren't easily obtainable like what happened with the spear or else the system may deem it as me making things favourable for the girl. To test her even more during the main trial, I'll give the 'enemies' a little gift as well." She said with a smile.

Once she was finished with the changes, she dismissed the screens and started to make her way towards the capital of this country.

[Warning: You are starting to interfere too much with the trial. Should the results be deemed to be harmful, you will be punished rather than rewarded for your balancing efforts.]

"Yeah yeah I know. Just observe things like you always have."
