All the volunteers are surprised as they see the strongest phantom hunter herself to witness their recruitment test.
"Esteroth?!!"
"Hey, hey, you gotta be kidding, right?"
"I can't believe it!! It is the first rank and the strongest phantom hunter from the Children of Faith!!!!!"
"I finally got to see her with my own eyes."
"Ah!!, we can't take a picture of her, because all our electrical devices are restricted to enter this room!!!"
"Can I have her sign?"
"I wonder how strong she is?"
While Takeshi says, "So that female knight is the strongest phantom hunter."
After that, Minato Yamamoto says, "Calm down, everyone!!! I know that you all are a big fan of Esteroth. But it would be better if all of you remain calm and focus, so the test could go as plan!!!!!"
Then suddenly, Esteroth stomps her right foot towards the floor with ten percent of her power.
Her stomp is really hard, until everyone at the Phantom Hunter Association building could feel the great vibration for a moment.
Right after her stomp, all the volunteers gone silent.
Then Minato says, "Arigatou, Esteroth-sama."
Meanwhile, one of the volunteers whisper, "What was just happened?"
The other volunteer replies, "I think Esteroth just stomp her foot to the floor."
Everyone surprised and impressed with Esteroth's strength.
After that, Esteroth says, "My sincere apologies, everyone. What you felt earlier was just ten percent of my power. I did that stomp, so you all could remain calm and with that, the test could go well without any problems matter. So please follow the instruction from the director of the association and focus yourself towards the test. If you don't serious in this test, you'll fail."
Then Takeshi says, "That's just ten percent of her power!! Wait!! if she used her full power, this building, no, not just this building, but the entire Japan could be destroyed."
Meanwhile all the female volunteers admired her even more.
Esteroth says towards Minato, "Shall we begin the test?"
Minato replies, "Oh right! Alright, everyone. Before we begin the recruitment test, I'll explain the test at first."
Information about the test :
The recruitment test is a test of worthiness, where all the volunteers will put their hand inside the holy fire. The one who is worthy won't get burn at all after a person puts his hand in the holy fire, but the one who is not worthy, the fire will burn your body and soul. But don't worry, we will cease the fire quickly with a cancel spell that the high priest of the Children of Faith gave us.
After they heard the information of the test, half of them feel scared.
Then Minato says, "Alright, hereby I say that the 10th Phantom Hunter Recruitment Test begins!!!!!!!!!!"
After that, the recruitment test begins.
It starts with one of the association staffs called the names of the volunteers one by one to put their hand into the holy fire.
The staffs that holds the book of the holy fire cancel spell are also ready for just in case, the volunteers got burned by it (That means "Fail").
The first volunteer walks forward to the holy fire.
And of course, he feels very terrified.
As he finally reaches the holy fire, he becomes more terrified and his hands are trembling.
There are lot of sweats on his entire body.
Then he gulps and starts to reach his hand towards the fire.
But suddenly, Esteroth says, "Stop!"
Everyone surprised.
Then she says towards the first volunteer, "Fear had consumed you and it is a part of the darkness. Therefore, you shouldn't lay a finger to the holy fire. Because for sure, your soul and flesh will suffer the greatest pain that you have never felt before. So turn around and be gone."
The first volunteer replies, "But I haven't take the test yet."
Esteroth says louder, "I say be gone!! Believe me, it's for your own good."
"But….."
Then Minato touches his shoulder and says, "She's right, it's for your own good."
The first volunteer immediately back off.
Now, it's the second volunteer's turn to touch the holy fire.
The second volunteer is a female.
She walks forward and then, she looks at Esteroth.
Esteroth doesn't speak a word and just nods.
So then, the second volunteer touches the holy fire.
Suddenly, the female surprised, because when she touched the fire, she feels a powerful energy.
The female says, "What is that? What is this feeling? This fire is very strong."
Esteroth then replies, "You feel the power, is it?"
The female nods.
Then Esteroth says, "You are worthy!!"
"What?"
Esteroth says again, "You pass the test."
The female replies, "Am I?"
Esteroth nods.
After that, all the Phantom Hunter Association staffs clap their hand and says, "Congrats!!"
The other volunteers surprise to see that.
Because of that, the volunteers become more enthusiast.
Since then, Esteroth decides the test result of each volunteers.
"Pass! Fail! Pass! Fail! Pass! Fail! Pass! Fail! Pass! Fail! Pass! Fail! Pass! Fail! Pass! Fail! Pass! Fail! Pass! Fail! Pass! Fail! Pass! Fail! Pass! Fail! Pass! Fail!"
After all of that, finally its Takeshi's turn.
Takeshi walks forward to the fire.
Esteroth looks at him more seriously.
As he reaches the fire, he looks at Esteroth.
Esteroth just stay silent.
So then, Takeshi touches the fire.
But suddenly, Esteroth and the others surprised.
Because his hand absorbs the holy fire.
"WHAT THE HELL!!!!!"
He absorbs the holy fire entirely.
Takeshi also surprised with this.
After he absorbs the holy fire completely, suddenly the fire burns Takeshi, but his body and soul are still safe.
Even he doesn't feel any pain at all.
But the fire becomes bigger and becomes more uncontrollable.
Esteroth immediately orders to all people to evacuate right away.
"EVERYONE!! STAY AWAY FROM HIM!!!"
Minato and the other staffs lead the other volunteers to a safe area.
After that, the fire becomes much even bigger.
Takeshi says, "How could I stop this, somebody help!!!!!"
Esteroth says towards him, "Takeshi, calm down!!"
Then he looks at her and says, "What?!"
She says again, "CALM DOWN!!!"
Takeshi replies, "How could I calm myself down, if my condition is like this right now?!!!!!"
Esteroth says, "You have to try to take control of the holy fire."
Takeshi replies, "What do you mean?!!!"
Esteroth says, "TRY TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE HOLY FIRE!!!!!!!!!!"
Takeshi replies, "How?!"
Then suddenly there's a whispering voice to his ears.
A young girl's voice
