Once my name was called out, I began to walk slowly to the front. Some of students soon gathered in front of the student body. I made my way to the front walking towards Nuke, who1 ws waiting for us in front of the crowd.
Including me and Chase , looking at him, Chase looked nervous than anyone there. He would constantly look around him and he wouldn't stop shaking either. His body wasn't small, it didn't suit him at all.
When looking at him he reminded me of myself. A small frame with with stuffy hair,
He was chubby but looked like his body was fidgeting either. then there were the girls beside Sharon.
The first one I saw was named Kayla, she long brown hair and a tall figure. On her back, she was carrying a sword which surprised me, not many peaple carried weapons these days. The third girl was Eva she was the type of girl whose beauty could make all the boys
turn their heads on her. Her proportion were perfect, not to big and not to small she was perfect and she topped it of with red hair." she reminds me of my favourite anime High school harem'. I thought to myself
As I was walking past everyone, I noticed that there were a lot more students than before, and I didn't recognize any of the students there. I could only assume that there were more students who passed the entrance exam in other countries. From what I could tell there 500 students including myself present.
We soon stopped just behind another group, who were also heading to the testing area. We soon as we arrived to testing room. Many of the students had gathered to see the newbies. ' Fuck why did I have to be in the one of the starting groups '
As the student body gathered in the room soon the room started to glow.
"Send them away" Nuke said
As soon as Nuke said gave his command, A man wearing a white robe then placed both of hand on the ground and the area surrounding us began to glow, emitting a bright yellow colour, and in an instant we were transported Into a dark room.
"teleporters..." Sharon said
"Nice." Eva said
The room soon lit up was bright as ever, The room was a type of arena, a huge one too. With no one in sight. We all stood there silent for a few minutes until a women appeared infront of us. The women was dressed in red military uniform and by her side a man wearing a black robe.
There was no other perso in sight.
The woman held a tablet in one of her hands, she appeared to be processing information into her tablet. Once she had finished her head soon turned facing us. Not wasting any time she began to speak.
"Hello to the five of you. I'm Mia and I'll be the one in charge of supervising you during the test. Once you've completed the test I'll award you a level band based on your performance.
I was kinda annoyed at how she kept staring at her tablet, 'She couldn't even look at us as she said that.'
"Now who will be first to participate?Oh it looks like we have a pair of cowards with us this year" when Mia said those words my hands began to glow a red.' Calm down Michael you need to calm down ' I took a deep breath and my hands went back to normal. Soon she pointed at Chris.
"Chris, you could please step forward"
Peter than walked towards Mia
"Would you please tell me what your ability is, Chris" Mia asked
"Oh, I have fire manipulation" Chris said quietly.
When I heard what Chris had said, I finally understood why he was nervous. Having elemental abilities in this type of school puts a huge target on your back. This meant Chris
would have to watch his back 24/7.
"I see, would you mind hitting that targets to your right then."
Five targets soon appeared in different areas of the arena
Chris then stretched his hand, Fire started to emit from his hand forming a basket size fireball, the fireball then hitting all five targets they soon began to burn to Crisp and with a snap of his finger the flames stopped. ' what type of OP shit is this '.
Five other targets soon appeared. Chris soon shot out more fireballs from her hands , the fireballs were shot out fast and strong, then suddenly, soon turning into different directions, each hitting a different target.
"Impressive ." Mia said
In an instant all of the targets were hit and were burning.
"10/10"Mia screamed as she looked at the burning targets.
On the strength test Chris did well ,Using
his fire ability he engulfed his hand giving him more fire power.
"8/10" Mia screamed
On the last test Chris did, I saw him do really bad. When the third test began he began to shot fireballs at the incoming tennis balls but they lit up turning into more of a threat, Meaning all Chris could do was really on his body to pass, in the end all he got a high mark.
"42/50" Mia shouted
"60/70, not bad" Mia said reaching for something in her pocket.
With that performance Chris was handed a Red band
"Yes!" Peter then screamed " "Aaam, sorry won't happen again mam" Chris said while walking back to us.
To me, even if I were to received a Blue band it wouldn't satisfy me but I would expose myself in the process. "then, I'll use the least revealing ability I have". With my plan in motion I then looked around seeing the teacher was now pointing at Kyla.
'The weapon she had was a sword right pff, she is definitely getting Orange, Green if she's lucky'. But her sword wasn't normal it, it was different from the other blades I had seen.
The weapon was carved using prismatic shards and beast cores.It was purple in color
it looked weird like it was made using magic.
These types of weapons were called Artificial gears.
A weapon made from Prismatic shards. During the war, we humans began to think of new ways of combating the alien race, one of them was creating weapons made from a rare crystals called Prismatic shards.
Since space exploration was now available, humans began to mine ores from other planets one of them being Carltok. A planet filled with different shards one of them being Prismatic shards , It was the first time I had ever witnessed a Artificial gear before as no one back home had one.
For me it was very strange to see someone of her age holding such an expensive weapon 'Bet she just another spoiled brat'
Kayla then stood then stood at the centre of the arena, waiting for the test to begin. Unlike when it was Chris's turn. When the targets appeared Kayla quickly formed an water spear hitting all the targets. She had cleared all the targets in only 5 seconds.
'Wow it's like I'm looking at the exact opposite of Chris'.
"10/10" Mia shouted
The next test Kayla really impressed me, she gathered water into her palms punching as hard as she could, hitting the centre drum dead on. The impact made a loud bang to be heard.
"Damn 42, 10/10" Mia said looking shocked
"No wander she is so confident" Sharon said
' Kayla if I were to fight who knows what would happen'
Soon it was time for the last test, Mia told her she wasn't allowed to use her ability and should just dodge. Kayla then nodded and soon began her test , she managed to dodge
all the ball the machine had thrown at here, but machine had gotten to fast and she ended up getting hit a few times.
"41/50" Mia said with a smile on her face
" final score 61/70, Impressive" Mia said giving her a red band.
Kayla continued to walk over back to us with a smile on her face. but the thing that scared me the most was that she didn't have use her artificial gear to pass. 'Damn that girl is a beast'.
Finally Mia pointed at me and I soon ran towards the centre of the arena. 'Alright Michael you only get one chance don't mess it up.'
Sharon then whispered in my ear,"Show me what you got, good luck."
I didn't know either to respond or just keep moving. so I said what every anime protagonist in my situation would do.
" Thank you, gorgeous. " I replied whispering into her ear.
Soon Sharon's face turned beat red, I than walked up to the centre with my head held high.
When it finally came to my turn and the test began. Everyone's mouth were left wide open at what they were seeing. I could feel them staring at me, even the instructor Mia was shocked.
My arms began to glow, and soon a blade began to appear from thin air. A bright yellow blade began to appear infront of me. The blade was burning the surroundings, even burning some of my uniform.
"What the hell is that"Kayla screamed
"I don't know" Chris said gasping for air
While Sharon just stood in shock, The targets soon appeared and with one swing of the blade they and been sliced clean.
"he gets....10/10" Mia says while looking at me as if I have done something horrible.
' Come on woman I chose one of my weakest abilities bare with me here'
The drum appears and in front of me, i infuse with light, My hand starts to glow a yellow light, I then punch the drum with all I have got making large bang sound.
"50/50!" Mia screams
"Is that a ability or is it magic" Chris screams
"What are you saying you idiot, there is no such thing as magic"
I ignore him and proceed to the next test to the last test. The balls came flying and with ability my whole body began to glow, I then moved as fast as I could.
"Where did he go." Max said
"I don't know" Kayla said
Soon a large breeze followed, then that's when they relised what was going on I, I was still there but moving at the speed of light.
'Did those numnuts actually think I disappeared'
Soon I had finished all the trails and the look on the faces spoke volumes.
"...50/50" Mia said that while looking at me with a puzzled face.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" Kayla screamed.
"Yeah start talking" Chris said
While Sharon just stood there like a statue.
Mia then walked up to me and handed me a
A red band.
"Congratulations you got a perfect score" Mia said that to me with a look of shock.
"Just what... is your ability" Mia asked
'No way I'm not revealing all my cards just yet woman'
" Oooh that... don't worry about that teach" I then went back to where I was standing before being chosen.
Without wasting anytime Mia then pointed at
Sharon and she then went towards the centre of the areana
In the first test she disappeared and all the targets had been destroyed. She then app eared in front of drum punching it so hard a large breeze appeared. within a millisecond
She had appeared infront of the ball machine and the balls began to fly, but she disappeared in thin air again only appearing after the machine had stopped shooting.
"Was that super....speed." Chris said with his mouth wide open.
"Yeah." Sharon replied
Well Mom I guess I wasn't the only special child huh. Although she is a beauty, she so dangerous too. Wow it looks like I got competition.
"Perfect score Sharon I'm very impressed" Mia said while looking at me. Handing her Sharon a Red band.
"Well that's it for the the tests"Mia said.
