Chapter 1304 - The Chamber of Chosen Weapons (Part 2)

The array of floating items was a double trap, a cunning test disguised as a generous offering. Not only did a student need to discern the flow of mana to identify the most potent weapons, but they also had to pray the weapons themselves would accept them. A wrong choice, or a rejection, meant a nasty rebound that could send the unfortunate student flying. This was why most of the top-ranking students in the class, wary of Moze's recent, painful lesson, hesitated to step forward. They all knew the wand Moze had attempted to claim was a high-tier item, and seeing him laid low by its rejection had made them all second-guess themselves. That was, until they watched one of the new transfer students simply reach out and grab it.
