Mira watched the huge mob of people turn into a chaotic dogfight with a slight smile on her face, but she was also using this opportunity to analyze her fellow disciples. She was also going to intervene and deal with anyone she thought wasn't worthy of entering the Sect as she had no intention of competing with those she felt had no place standing on the same ground as her.
But it seems her worries were unfounded. Most of the women here had the mindset of someone who wanted to give their all to fulfill their potential.
One might wonder how Mira was able to determine this with just a few glances, and she wouldn't be able to give a satisfactory answer to that question other than intuition. She could tell that the girls here wanted to enter the Sect so they could grow stronger just by the look in their eyes when they fought the other participants.
However, suppose she saw that anyone of them was scared to fight just because the situation wasn't very advantageous. In that case, she'd intervene, meaning she'd attack with the intent to kill, knowing that Elder Sandra would teleport them off the mountain before Mira could actually deal any irreparable damage.
It wasn't until a little while later that Mira got bored and decided to join the fight as well. Maria saw this and was also prepared to join the fight. She knew Mira probably wouldn't need her help, but she still wanted to let her lover know that she had her back.
Thus, without warning, Mira and Maria shot out and began 'slaughtering' their way through the mess of a dogfight. Of course, they weren't actually slaughtering and were only dealing enough damage to knock them unconscious, but that doesn't mean their hits were light.
No, Mira's strikes were powerful enough to break bones and injure organs. At the same time, Maria's body wasn't nearly as strong as Mira's in her current state, so she was forced to use more power behind her punches to deal significant damage.
Mira's tails swung wildly, crushing anything that dared to enter within her vicinity.
Furthermore, there were nine tails, so the amount of destruction Mira was waving around behind her was immense and left the people she attacked with multiple broken bones all over their bodies.
She wished she could take out her scythe, but unfortunately, it was much too heavy for the current Mira to use. If most of her strength weren't sealed, she'd be able to use it without any issue.
That's only part of the reason why she didn't take out her scythe. She also didn't want to needlessly slaughter a bunch of kids who were just trying their best to enter the same Sect as her.
Mira knew that if she were able to wield her scythe in her current situation, most of these people would end up disqualified or crippled, as her scythe isn't something that these kids can handle while their strength is sealed.
Not only is its weight absolutely insane, but the sharpness and the new aura surrounding her scythe are more than enough to chop through these girls like a hot knife through butter.
However, Mira swore that when she finally got some free time, she'll go hunting to test out her new scythe! She was also very much looking forward to sparring with Celaine! Maybe she'll be able to gain some insights on how to improve her scythe skills by fighting her. Who knows, she might even be able to comprehend Scythe Intent if competent enough, though she's not optimistic about that.
Anyways, Mira and Maria continued wreaking havoc among the participants. Even Asami and the auburn-haired girl joined in on the fun, utterly defeating them in around half an hour.
At the end of the skirmish, Mira and Maria both had over 3,000 tokens each, while Asami had around 600 and the auburn-haired girl had 350.
Mira stared at the young women who were currently groaning in pain on the ground with disappointment as she hoped they would be able to put up a better fight. Unfortunately, it seems she thought too highly of them. These people were too used to using the strength of their Qi to use strong abilities or techniques and lacked a proper foundation.
While she didn't think there was anything wrong with relying on these kinds of things, Mira was a firm believer in having a steady foundation. For example, these girls barely knew how to fight as a mortal!! Someone without superhuman strength and mystical abilities.
From what Mira experienced, they were all probably relatively strong if they could use their cultivation bases properly, but since that wasn't the case, they were pathetic in Mira's eyes.
Of course, this was just because Mira's standards were too high. These standards have only risen after experiencing all of those parallel lives in the F.LD.I.L. She could easily see through all of their wasted movements, unused muscles, poor footwork, sub-par coordination, and decent perception.
Hell, she didn't even need to look at them to understand this! Just her instincts told her that they were all style and no substance! That's how she was able to crush each and every one of them with her fists and tails alone.
She even restricted her strength beyond what it currently was to give them a fighting chance, but Mira couldn't stand witnessing such a piss poor display of foundational skills!
It was to the point where she wondered what the people in this world were teaching their kids!
This was supposed to be the top 1% of women of her generation in the entire world?! THIS?!
'No, maybe they just learned this shit to try and boost their chances of getting into the Sect, and those within the Sect will focus more on strengthening their Foundation and battle instincts?' Mira thought to herself and felt it like that might be the case.
After all, this is a world filled with people who can live for thousands of years. There should be no reason that they can't understand how important foundations are. Or maybe she's just missing something crucial that's unique to the Cultivation World.
For example, these girls may lack a proper foundation because they are waiting for an expert to guide them properly.
Mira understands that everyone has a different build and physique. Thus they must train differently.
Well, she could just be overthinking things here as most of the fights were hand-to-hand combat, and they didn't seem to be using their preferred weapon, probably for the same reason, Mira wasn't. Their weapons were just too heavy for their current strength.
Either way, this had nothing to do with Mira. She's going to continue doing what she feels is right. Not many people use the scythe, anyways. So, she's on her own, to begin with.
Shaking her head of these thoughts, Mira opened her mouth to speak to these young women, "What a shit show. To think that so many of you couldn't even injure me! Truly pathetic! Anyways, I'm bored now, so I'm going to enter the Outer Court. There's still about an hour left until the deadline. If any of you want to join the Sect, then you better get your asses moving and start looking for other tokens, or else it's only going to be me and my companions entering this year! Hehehe~"
Mira nonchalantly walked to the Outer Court under the hateful gazes of the injured participants. Maria followed soon after and wrapped her arms around Mira. Asami sighed and decided to enter the Outer Sect as well.
The auburn-haired girl wasn't sure what to think, so she just stood there without moving. In the end, she decided not to follow after them. She wanted to see if she could collect a few more tokens.
After Mira left, the injured women gritted their teeth, trying to ignore the pain, and stood up. They couldn't give up here. No, they refused to fail here after getting so far! They would collect a token, pass this Entrance Exam, enter the Sect, and become strong enough to beat the shit out of Mira!
When they finally stood up, their eyes were burning with anger and desire. A desire for revenge! Of course, they didn't want to kill her or anything like that… well, maybe a few of them did, but what they really wanted was to feel Mira's bones breaking under their own strength!
So, without saying anything and ignoring the pain in their bodies, they walked down the mountain to look for other participants.
