Chapter 03

Everyone in the room, without exception, was almost thrown backwards by the strong gust of wind emitted by the spinning roulette wheel. Agent Black-White put so much force into the spin that it even scared the participants of the first round.

'How strong is this guy?! What overkill just to spin a roulette wheel!' thought Alex as he was taken by surprise in this way.

To outsiders this may indeed seem like overkill, but this is the minimum strength level to be an average rank agent acting on the front lines. In addition, the roulette wheel weighs around 500 kilos, so Black-White was slightly afraid that he would not be able to turn it, because physical strength is not his specialty, and so he put all the strength he had into it to avoid embarrassment.

Turning to the reaction of the participants, some of them broke into a cold sweat at the display of strength that was shown by the special agent. Others were even wondering if it was possible for them to reach that level themselves, but in general everyone was scared and afraid to confront that man, except for a single person present in the room. 

'That madman's battle lust is pulsing! How I hate my better half!!!' Alex thought to himself.

The roulette wheel continued spinning constantly for quite some time, so much so that Alex even felt like dozing off again during this interval. After about 30 minutes of spinning, the roulette wheel finally stopped on a name among the thousands contained therein. 

"Have a finger on the examiner" 

"What a surprise, you have taken one of the simplest and sometimes the most difficult tests depending on your examiner. Lucky for you, being fast is not one of my strengths, so strive to be one of the first 10 to touch me" Black-White spoke as he pulled a cane from somewhere and leaned on it.

The words of the special agent contained a rather alarming meaning for the participants, for besides having to touch him, a chaotic battle will be fought to prevent others from touching him first. In addition, the examiner will obviously react against anyone who wants to attack him.

It didn't take long before all the participants started fighting among themselves. There were people letting off flames, others throwing gum at the ceiling, and some even had bladed weapons to use. It was an alarming scene where various unique abilities were being used on all sides along with some being knocked unconscious. 

The people sitting in the first few rows of the room managed to go straight at the examiner, but the results were as expected, Black-White knocked them unconscious using his cane or easily deflected the attacks. Of course, he had not yet used his unique ability because there was no need for it.

Among the participants, there was an interesting boy who used an ice skill. He moved very fast when skating, and wherever he passed, the people around him were frozen. The boy had a fat body, dark brown hair, eyes brown, round face with Asian features, and was wearing a sleeveless beige sweater with a blue long-sleeved blouse underneath.

From the way he's moving, he's going to give me a hard time,' thought Black-White as he looked at the young man.

The fat boy was not so fast as to make things difficult on his own, but Black-White was not using his powers and on top of that he had to deal with many people at once and so it would be complicated to keep dodging the Asian boy. 

The young man kept moving forward and freezing the people he passed by, until he was finally reaching his main objective. As he approached, sliding on his ice, the fat man began to create small spears that floated around him. When he got within 10 meters of Black-White, he threw all the mini spears to hit the agent and whoever was near him.

Noticing that it would be dangerous to be hit by it, everyone who was close to the special agent tried to dodge or defend while opening a certain distance between them and their target. Some managed to get out without damage, but others were not so lucky and were injured enough to make it almost impossible to complete their goal.

In Black-White's case, he deduced that it wasn't necessary to use his ability since the participants had moved away, so the agent opted to simply dodge, since the mini spears weren't that fast. It was at this very moment that, for a brief second, a smile formed on the face of the fat boy who was only 4 meters away from reaching 1st place in this phase.

The special agent had already made a leap to the side while dodging the spears, but just as he was about to land, a pillar of ice at high speed suddenly appeared from the ground, heading towards the Black-White agent still in the air.

'What a mess...These youngsters these days are hard to keep up with...' he sighed mentally over the boy's incredible dexterity.

Black-White grabbed his cane with both hands and spun it around as fast as he could, managing to dodge the pillar while, leaning his body on the cane, he slid down its side. However, something unexpected happened to the agent. The moment he touched his two feet on the ground...

*Boom*

A small explosion occurred literally below his feet and a short curtain of smoke was raised covering only half of his body. When the smoke dispersed, a pair of legs were revealed completely frozen to the ground. He could easily free his legs and get out of that place, but before he even made any move, a fat young man with Asian features was already flying towards him with his arms outstretched, and there the agent of as yet unknown gender realized that he had fallen into the boy's trap.

'Who would have thought it...probably since you entered this room those landmines were there, but I could only feel your Naro energy at the moment of the explosion. How fascinating...' Black-White reflected to himself as he collided head-on with the fat student.

The collision was so strong that both were thrown towards the board, the duo collided with great force and the board suffered cracks, both fell to the ground, but the agent wouldn't even need five seconds to get up again. However, before he could even get up completely, something unexpected occurred. Shocking the agent, a hand suddenly touched his shoulder. This hand was none other than Alex's own, who was lurking around waiting for the best moment of distraction to emerge from the shadows and touch the special agent.

'Sugarplum! Without much work and without much effort!!! How I love this technique of mine!' Alex thought to himself as he removed his hand from the agent's shoulder to deflect from the flurry of people running towards him.

'Aaaargh, I can't even handle two children without using my skill. I guess I should just retire for contribution time!!!' He cogitated to himself as he stood up and knocked out everyone else who approached him, because he was a little irritated. After all, who doesn't hate to lose, right?

Agent Black-White was already a veteran in the Neox organization and had worked there for over 30 years, but no one would know how old he is because of his mask and if they saw his face, everyone would be shocked at how agile he still is at his age.  After a few more moments, most of the candidates were unconscious, while others managed to stay awake, but were already completely exhausted, except for Alex and the fat boy who were the only two to pass the test. 

"Is it just me or did this guy get more serious after we touched him?" Questioned Alex to the fat boy.

"I guess so...it's scary to think how strong he is using his skill..." 

"That's right...By the way, pleasure, I'm Alex Walker. Looks like only the two of us passed the test" Alex introduced himself as a slight chill ran down his spine at the thought of how strong Black-White was.

"Pleasure, I'm Takeru Satoru!" As he bowed slightly.

"Huh? Why did you bow?" 

"It's normal in the Sunigame nation for us to present ourselves like this..." 

"Aaah, I see..." Alex didn't want to ask why he was here, after all there was no need to do that at the moment.

Immediately after this short chat, everyone who still wanted to continue with the test had already given up because they are too tired or see that they won't make it even if they continue for hours. There were quite a few people in the room, but unfortunately few of them had really strong enough skills to surprise old Black-White or even manage to put together a strategy to trick him like Takeru did. And with that, only 2 people passed the test in room C-86.
