Jill transformed her hands, giving them dark claws as she leaped towards Zaruya.
!!!
"Whoa!"
Jill proceeded to swing at Zaruya with great strength, only for her to block it with her left hand as she coated it with her blue, sparkling aura. However, she did immediately notice something that was different from Clad; she was slower than him but way stronger and heavier.
"Your strength could rival an enraged Orc's, Jill Darkheid." Zaruya comments.
Hmph.
"You have yet to see what I'm truly capable of."
"Then go ahead and show me more!" She replied with excitement.
Jill dashed at her before going for a spinning kick, which Zaruya avoided by jumping away, but unexpectedly, Jill had already closed the gap between the two as she punched her right in the chest, surprising the examiner, as the punch hurt her a lot more than she thought.
!?
"Ow ow ow!"
"She's definitely a hand-to-hand fighter!" Zaruya thought as she quickly landed a flurry of quick and powerful blows on Jill, but something felt wrong about her skin; it was as if she punched titanium and not a person. Jill revealed to her that she had a defensive gene just for situations like these, where an opponent had overwhelming offensive powers compared to her own.
[TRANSFORMATION: DEMON CRAB GENE]!
Jill lifted the lower half of her shirt, revealing to Zaruya that her torso was covered in a black exoskeleton from the demon crab, a sea monster she had eaten during a ceremony of age a few years ago.
"Wow, I guess I have no other choice but to use my aura, huh?" The woman said as she unleashed her energy on the test grounds, blue in color, it sparkled like a firework. She came at Jill with unpredictable speed before landing a punch infused with energy at her.
WHAM!
Although Jill blocked the attack, the impact could still be felt as Zaruya's explosive power started to quickly break down her defense, with each punch being heavier than the last. But unexpectedly, Zaruya stopped using her energy.
??
"Is it over?"
"Yes, and I came to my conclusion."
"You pass, clearly." She added.
"Thank you," Jill replied.
Ahem!
"And also.."
?
"What is it?" Jill said, wondering what she was going to say.
"Your powers are really impressive!"
"The ability to gain the abilities of creatures you eat is pretty unique!"
"And you, Clad, your martial technique was also impressive!"
With that, Clad and Jill took the test paper and walked out of the test room with Zaruya waving them goodbye as they parted ways.
