Chapter 4: First Day Finale

Uncle Huck brought me to the armory which is located inside the arena after I had changed into a black multi-purpose combat suit.

Inside the armory there are shelves where all the guns are being displayed, different types of melee weapons like swords and spears that are hanging on the walls and weapons that I've never seen before that are being displayed on the table.

As I look around for my classmates, I didn't see them anywhere.

Looks like they're already done and headed towards the arena main grounds.

That really sucks for me because I was planning on asking some advice on what to pick since I don't know anything about weapons nor how to use one.

I tried asking uncle for some advice and all he said was "Hurry up Linel and pick whatever you want! "and so I decided to do that.

I went to the guns section and grab a gun that looks exactly like the one I use for Fire Arms training.

For the melee section, I just grab a knife with a plasma blade that seems easy to use.

For the weapons on the table, I decided to ignore it.

After I'm done sorting out my equipment, I went out of the armory and headed towards the arena main grounds with uncle Huck.

Inside the arena main grounds, the whole place looks just like a sports stadium with lots of screens, black colored flooring, elevated grounds and walls for obstacles, a circular green panel in the middle of the stadium and two platforms that looks like a goal which is adjacent to each other at each end of the stadium.

In other words this is a Spaceball stadium.

All of my classmates are gathered near the circular panel with a maidbot who was on front of them that has short blond hair and green eyes.

She has a mature facial expression like an adult but seem to be the same age or a year younger than me.

As we approach them, I notice that some of my classmates aren't carrying anything like Aeris, Kana and Ace.

Lokki was carrying several knives (the same thing I got) but it was in off mode.

Roc was carrying a medium sized gun while Maple was carrying a large gun with a scope on it.

I was surprised to see Maple was able to carry that thing.

As for Mathias, he was carrying a large looking gun with a sword handle which is one of the weapons that I saw that was being displayed on the table.

Wrenpy was carrying a long red metallic spear while Zack was carrying a big sword with two boosters on the two adjacent sides of the sword which is also one of the weapons that I saw on the table.

Uncle Huck went beside the maidbot and starts explaining what were gonna do.

"Alright class since we're all here, let's all hurry up and get this over with so I could catch up and watch The Blue Bomber tonight. I heard that episode 50 will be an epic!"

(Those who are not familiar with the blue bomber yet, read Luna's Corner 3)

"So for today all of you will be given five minutes each to beat Louise, the head maidbot."

The maidbot bows to us and say her greetings.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all."

After the maidbot greets us, uncle Huck continues.

"If you guys feel like you can't beat her yet, you have other options by destroying the dummybots and repairbots that are scattered around the area. If you manage to destroy five of them each, you may leave early. That is all!"

That was quite a half-assed explanation. He hasn't explained the most important part yet.

He hasn't explained the most important part yet. So I decided to ask him that.

"What happens if we reach the time up and wasn't able to do beat the maidbot nor destroy enough dummybots and repairbots?"

He gives me a simple answer.

"Well duh! You fail today's activity."

Right... Better ask what will happens next.

"And what if we fail?"

"You'll have supplementary classes on the weekends and believe me Linel those things are extremely boring!"

"I see..."

I have no more questions to ask uncle Huck, so he starts today's activity.We went all towards the sides of the stadium which is the audience area and there we decide which get to go first through a game of rock paper scissors.

We went all towards the sides of the stadium which is the audience area and there we decide on who gets to go first through a game of rock paper scissors.

Here is our line up.

1. Kana

2. Ace

3. Roc

4. Mathias

5. Lokki

6. Maple

7. Zack

8. Wrenpy

9. Aeris

10. Me

This is great since I get to observe my classmates on how they will do it and at the same time it sucks also since I'll be the last one to leave.

Well let's see how this will go.

First to go was Kana who is currently not holding anything except her cell phone on her right hand.

I wonder what's she's planning to do with it.

Maybe she'll summon missiles out of nowhere using her cell phone or it will transform into some kind of a weapon.

Who knows what will happen since Kana is hard to read and all but I know this will surely be interesting.

Kana is standing on the stage near the left goal waiting for the go signal to start the battle.

After few seconds of waiting a loud sound was heard like a buzzer noise.

Tooooooot*

Suddenly, a timer was being displayed on the screens and five minutes was gradually being depleted.

Kana who was standing there with her serious expression was fidgeting with her cell phone not caring about the decreasing time.

One minute has passed, and she's still fidgeting with her cell phone.

Does this girl really care if she fail at all?

After two minutes she stops fidgeting with her cell phone and starts looking towards the other direction where the dummybots and repairbots are while fixing her glasses in place.

Clank* Pak* Woosh* Thud*

Suddenly, five dummbots and five repairbots starts attacking each other.

The dummybots were punching and kicking each other while the repairbots were bumping to each other in midair.

To see this type of violence is quite entertaining I say.

After four minutes have passed...

Tooooooot*

The ten bots successfully destroyed each other, and the timer has stopped.

Kana successfully completed today's activity without having to attack directly.

I try looking around to see my classmates reaction and they look more normal than surprised to me.

As for uncle Huck, he wasn't surprised either.

Looks like Kana usually pull this kind of stunt for them not to have much reaction.

After that, Kana went back to the audience area instead of leaving early and decided to quietly watch all of us while taking a video with her beloved cell phone.

Next one to go is Ace who's currently not holding anything.

I wonder what kind of stunt she will pull?

Ace went near the left goal like what Kana did and waits for the buzzer.

After few seconds...

Tooooooot*

The buzzer has sounded, and the timer with five minutes that is gradually depleting is being displayed on the screens.

Ace runs through the field like a ninja and destroys the five repairbots who were floating around with ice daggers that she synthesizes using atomic synthesis.

For the two dummybots who were hiding behind a wall, she made an ice ramp and quickly runs over it and executes a high jump.

While she's in midair, she quickly turn towards the two dummybots and throw ice daggers at their foreheads making them collapse towards the floor.

As she landed, she quickly synthesizes two thin ice swords at each hands, rushes towards the three nearby dummybots and skillfully slashes them.

The three dummybots collapse towards the floor.

Tooooooot*

The timer has stop in three minutes and fifty-two seconds when she successfully completed the activity.

After Ace was finish, she went back to the audience area like Kana and decided to watch the rest of us silently.
