Military enrollment test 3

Seth can't help but feel nervous. Who in the world thinks that he's going to face military officers as their combat skill test program.

"They must be kidding, right?" Seth thinks.

"Do you think I can equal your ability, Sir?" Seth asks Quinn, the instructor who challenged him.

"That's exactly why I challenged you. I think that's the fastest way to find out too. How about you agree to it then?" Quinn says. He looks kind of irritated by his question since he is also wondering if Seth can hold up to his expectation.

"Let's get going then," Trevor adds while suggesting they follow him with his body language.

Shortly after they move into the training chamber where the VR simulator capsule located. They usually use VR capsules to test someone's ability. Sometimes they do mock combat in the gym but it's rare for it to happen because they'll get injured and need to recover after the actual mock battle. Without hesitation, Quinn enters a VR pod next to him.

Seth slowly uses the pod next to the pod where Quinn currently.

"Welcome to Combat Center," system greets him.

There are only two options he has, signs up and logs in. Since it's his first time, he goes and press sign up. He never got the chance to use this advanced pod as he uses it right now when he lives with Dr. Ernest. He fills in his personal data and then goes into the game right after that procedure done because he needs to spar with his soon-to-be trainer if he manages to pass the minimum standard.

"Welcome to Combat Center. Initiating full-body scan... Please wait for few moments," the system welcomes him with another delay.

"He won't mind waiting right?" Seth doubts Quinn's patience.

A minute passed and he finally completes his body scanning process. His view turns into a lobby view where he can choose what he wants to do inside that combat VR world. It has a random match-up or rank-based match-up as you see in a modern type of game. Before he has time to check the new members tutorial, *PING* He receives an invitation from an unknown ID called "Big Daddy".

"What makes you so long to meet me?" Quinn asks with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"I'll make sure he pays for making me waiting that long," Quinn declares in his mind.

"It's my first time so..," Seth replies.

Quinn can't help but be surprised. There's almost no one who hasn't been trying combat simulator nowadays especially those who has above average ability. Most of them come from an affluent family who can buy enhancement serum which costs tens of millions of dollars so compared to it this few hundred thousand price tag feels like nothing. Of course, it's way too expensive for normal people to get it for personal use, especially teens who usually play it.

"Shall we start?" Quinn demands without any further delay.

Seth answers him with a simple nod while staring at him curiously. Because he has no experience at all, he decides to follow his opponent's match setup. Soon after Quinn finishes adjusting his configuration, he shows it to Seth for keeping its fairness. Seth just takes a look at the match rules and map used on this match. He agrees to it after he studies it in about a minute.

"Please pick your combat aircraft," system guides.

Then Seth chooses a light-medium class interceptor as his aircraft. He takes a look at his opponent's pick while the system loads the match battleground. Quinn chose a medium-heavy class interceptor which has more firepower compared to his ride but slower movement speed and poorer maneuverability.

As soon as match loading is done, Quinn immediately opens fire in order to corner Seth's aircraft and limit his area. *RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT* Quinn runs his aircraft machine gun so hard to control his available area in order to keep Seth away from getting into his effective firing area. Seth tries to minimalize his movement while he dodges Quinn's heavy machine gun barrages.

*VOOSH* *RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT* "Will zig zag works? Maybe I need to put feint attack. I feel like this guy will be hard to beat," Seth thinks.

*SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH* Quinn launches several homing missiles while he continues his mad machine gun on the roll.

"He has potential even though his move is rather sluggish compared to an experienced trainee who comes from big families." he evaluates his opponent. He takes his time to investigate more about this young man in front of him.

*BAM BAM BAM BAM* "Hopefully I fired ECM on time," Seth feels thankful about his fast decision. "This guy is a pain in the a** to beat. I think I have to try to end it as fast as I can before he further corners my position," he can't help but trying to rush back to regain his loss of momentum.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM* Tons of missiles exploding near his aircraft while he tries to shake his opponent, Quinn, off him. He fires his machine gun as soon as he enters effective range and keeps evading his enemy's bombardment. "This geezer is tough as hell," Seth complains in his heart.

He forces his way in or else he may have no chance to get his enemy back for taking easy on him. He continues to roll his aircraft to the left and right depends on where Quinn shots. It may look easy but in reality, some of Quinn's shots managed to scratch his aircraft though it's not serious enough to stop the match anytime soon.

"Are you sure this is your first time?" Quinn truly doubts Seth's statement that this is his first time. "He must be a genius or alien in human disguise. I never found someone who can adapt as fast as he can. Impressive. Truly impressive. Had he has more training on Combat VR, I believe he can beat me without this much effort," Quinn tries to knock himself into reality since his enemy's performance really amazes him.

"Time to end his first examination," Quinn sets his mind to put his best effort to win this evaluation soon.
