Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 1344  Emmaʼs Break

”Lyra, do you need me to tell you what to do?” Emma asked the black beast on her shoulders.

Lyra shook her head.

”Good,” Emma said. ”Go win.”

The 3 months test was surprisingly a small tournament between all the beasts that every student in the Institute had brought along. It was a test to see how strong they were and how well the students did with them.

Emma simply crossed her arms and watched as Lyra, having recently entered the Essence Manifestation realm, easily defeated the Gray fox that she fought. The fox was weaker altogether, so it could not come up to Lyraʼs strength.

Emma and Lyra moved away, letting others fight. Bettyʼs turn was soon and she joined.

Bettyʼs beast was a meter-long red centipede with two long glowing crimson gems on its forehead. The Rubyhead Centipedes were one of the rarest beasts in the entire world. They were so rare, that even most people who learned about beasts wouldnʼt know what it was.

Most considered the beast extinct, but somehow Bettyʼs father had managed to find one and gift it to her. Now, she used the trained centipede to fight against her opponent.

The Centipede wasnʼt strong. It was only in the Essence Sense realm. But, with the ruby on its head being a Natural Conduit, it could easily create attacks while not engaging in a fight directly.

The battle lasted a short time as the Centipede used its Explosion Essence to destroy any chance of its opponentʼs victory.

Betty walked away, going over to Emma to sit by her. ”I think weʼll come top 10 here,” she said. ”Jamesʼ lion will be especially hard to beat. Where did he find the crystal-tailed Lion?”

”I donʼt know how hard it will be,” Emma said. ”Lyra here is in the Essence Manifestation realm too after all.”

”But she only just entered,” Betty said. ”Jamesʼ lion has been in the Essence Manifestation realm for 2 years now.”

”Let us see how things go.” Emma gave a cheeky little grin.

She was called to 2 more simple fights before on her third fight Lyra had to do more than just simple attacks. This was the semi-finals and Lyra ended up having to show off her shadow powers to win.

People knew what beast she was, but Shadow Powers always got the crowd speaking. She left and watched James fight a young man named Tony, who had defeated Betty in the round before.

Jamesʼ Lion easily defeated the beast.

Finally, Emma and James faced off against each other, their beasts ready to fight.

Against the giant Lion, the small house cat-sized Lyra seemed insignificant. The fight almost felt unfair in a way.

But when the fight started, Lyra showed that she was not to be underestimated. Blessed with techniques given to her by Ning, she used her Shadow powers masterfully.

The Crystal-tailed Lion was very much used to using Crystals to attack his opponent, but Lyra hid in the shadows, teleporting through them and attacking the Lion from locations it could not see.

Lyra prodded at first and then pounced on the Lion when it was not looking. She wrapped it in its shadows, quickly making it immobile. Sharp threads of shadows were inches away from the Lion when Lyra stopped her attacks.

She knew she had won.

Emma happily took Lyra into her embrace, smiling widely. She petted the little Puma and kissed her a few times before hugging her tightly.

People came to congratulate her, including teachers who were always excited to see a student such as her perform so well.

Since the tests had ended, breaks had finally come for Emma. It had been 3 months since she had returned home, and she was very excited to do so. If her father was okay with it, she would even spend the entire week just to go to earth for 2 minutes and gather what energy she could from there.

Emma didnʼt have much to take back home, so she was ready to leave right away. Betty it seemed had too much on either place, so she had no reason to take anything back either.

”Wanna go back together?” she asked.

”Sure,” Emma said. ”But donʼt you live far from where I do?”

”Yes, but I want to go to your home,” Betty said.

”My home?” Emma chuckled. ”Why would you want to do that?”

”I hear your father makes amazing weapons. I want to ask him to make me one,” she said. ”Do you think he would make me one?”

”If youʼre polite enough,” Emma said. ”But do you truly want to come to my place before going back to yours?”

”Thatʼs fine, Iʼll have my guard come along too.”

As Betty mentioned, a person had been waiting for her to escort her back. However, he was forced to follow her whims to go with Emma to her house.

Emma didnʼt object and took Betty along with her, making her way through the busy streets of the midday to find her way back to her fatherʼs shop.

She arrived and opened the door to enter. As soon as she was in, she stopped in shock. She looked around in surprise at the shop that was no longer what she remembered it to be.

The size alone was shocking, but the number of people inside shocked her even more. There were hundreds of people inside, with dozens of them wearing the same uniform.

ʼUniform? Is Papaʼs shop?ʼ she couldnʼt fathom what was going on. Had he accepted more people to work for him? Where was he even? She recognized nobody in the shop at all. She stopped the first person she saw, a man named Darrel, and asked him about his location.

”Iʼm sorry, I cannot answer that question,” the young man said.

Emma felt exasperated. ”Iʼm his daughter,” she said.

”I cannot verify that,” the man said.

”Then bring him here to verify,” Emma said. ”Or Rova, or Umbra, or whoever is present.”

”Ningʼs daughter?” a voice asked from the side.

Emma turned around to see a handsome young man approach her.

”Hi, Iʼm Randal Tarmon,” he introduced himself. ”If youʼre Ningʼs daughter, then you must be Emma.”
