7 Training grounds

In this long silence .. Terminus stood up and took his bag and walked out of the door ...

their break was 3 hours long ... and on the class's wall beside the door .. was a navigation map to every place in the school ...

he bent down slightly and squinted his eyes on the map ...

"Hmm ... " following the routes and everything ... he memorised the entire school just like that ..

but that was not his goal .. he was looking for something in particular ...

"Got it ..." he muttered softly before walking out of the corridor and walking into the left wing ...

a door on the right with bold letters written on top .. "Martial Arts" ...

Terminus didn't hesitate and went in ..

and just like the improvement in humans .. they had found an idea to create robots that were as strong as the so-called green smasher man ... Hulk ...

each robot was different from each other and varied in their strengths and speed ...

and since there was no one here ... Terminus ... put his bag beside the door inside and went up to one of the machines .. and operated it to combat mode ..

[Combat Mode: Trainer Mark 3]

[Insert Trainee's Status: ________]

without further ado .. Terminus inserted his name into the machine and the robot started vibrating before calming down with an android like voice ..

"Processing .. please wait ...."

Terminus stood infront of the robot for 2 minutes before it started to raise its head .. revealing it's faceless .... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .. face ... it was tall as a 6'5 tall man .. and had a small stature ...

it's chest then popped out revealing a screen with a hand projected on it ..

[Put your hand on the screen]

Terminus did so ... and the scanning was complete ..

[This is Trainer Mark 3 ... greetings human Terminus Modig .. ]

a female robotic voice resounded in the giant hall like training room ..

[I'm your Trainer ... what type training would you like to do today ..

] he quickly pressed onto the combat mode icon ...

the robot started rebooting and moved after a few minutes ..

it took a stance ... [Level 1 Terminus Modig]

[Basic Mastery]

since he had only achieved little from martial arts he preferred to go to basic Mastery .. this was where he got stuck .. he had to move onto the next mastery before enrolling into the military ..

after showing his moves to the robot ..

it started recording each movements on his body .. and the heat that got controlled when the moves where performed ..

in a minute the robot did the same movements but with understanding ..

these were the moves that he needed to master ... and there were many more after these ones ... so relying on the internet was not his thing ... he wanted experience ..

being smart was fine .. but sometimes smart people didn't know how to defend themselves .. so going into this type of training he had to understand his body and muscles ..

after a while .. he showed a couple of movements .. that were instantly recorded to the system ..

once he performed every move .. the robot parted away from him before running at him at full speed ..

Terminus moved his right arm to block the punch coming towards him ..

however .. he later found out that this was a feint ...

judging from its movements .. he found out what he was lacking ..

it was not that he wasn't good at combat ... he was not exploring other movements in every combat technique he came to pass ...

he just practised the same techniques without modifying .. them ..

and now the robot infront of him was doing the same thing he failed to do and even more better ..

if he could somehow memorise it's moves .. he could at least move on to the next level and acquire basic Mastery over his techniques ..

and now that he was in a tight situation ... he dodged to the left side and used the robots other arm to propel himself into the air ..

in his mind .. he started modifying his first attained martial art technique .. and success ...

the robot didn't give him any time and was soon right infront of him ...

it then raised its foot to kick him on his torso ...

and like how he expected things to be .. he raised his left arm to block the incoming kick ..

in the next moment .. it's other right leg came right at him .. as the robot spun in the air ..

with a slight smile .. he caught the foot .. "These are my acquired techniques .. there will always be loopholes free for me to find and improve for myself ..." with that .. he let the feet go and kicked it on its face .. and it stumbled backwards ...

without wasting his breath .. Terminus .. ran up to it .. not giving it his full speed .. he shot his fist at the robot's face like a bazooka ..

the air made a swishing sound .. as the air rippled .. creating pressure ...

and like a recoiling gun ... the speed in his punch shrunk and his fist stopped mid air ... and from the right side .. he kicked the robot where a human's abdomen is supposed to be ..

with an attack like that .. he could take out a lone soldier .. although his techniques lacked a little bit of spice and were only at the mere basic Mastery ... he got at most a 100 of them .. and with his combination of skills .. he could knock out or even kill a soldier ...

and like how a human should react to such an attack .. the robot stumbled to the left side again holding the spot where a human's abdomen is supposed to be .. imitating how it would be if he was against another human being ..

"Wow .. they even installed such features .. impressive .." Terminus praised the scientists who made this magnificent existence internally as he took off again ..

and of course .. when a human is in a dire situation .. the same feint will always be there ..

and of course Terminus had already figured this out since that was how battle was like ..

if you did the same move everytime .. one would think you're going to do the same thing again ..

the robot didn't dodge and gazed up .. as Terminus kicked it on its neck ... knocking it out .. unconscious ..

"Hmm .. that's how it's supposed to be .. *sigh* .." Terminus muttered as he heard a familiar robotic female voice ringing in the room ..

[First technique : Basic Mastery - Complete ...]

... the robot stood up again and took a different stance ...

since his first technique was passed .. it started to imitate his other second martial art ...

and with everything figured out ... Terminus made the loopholes in this technique to become his advantage ..

however unlike his first technique ... this technique had three paths .. which he had to choose from ..

all of them had different feints and different attacks from the modification ... and merging these three paths .. was going to be a tough job considering the time he had in this room ..

but no sweat ... he was going to try doing this anyway ...

in just 15 minutes .. he had already enjoyed himself so much ..

after all .. these weren't any martial art techniques .. some of the techniques he practised came from the higher ups .. in the military ..

learning these skills was going to make him a formidable and dangerous enemy ..

whilst he was still training he didn't realise that a certain light blonde haired girl with a few black streaks .. was watching from the door ...

...

he kept trying and trying .. he fought magnificently ... and even without passing .. he achieved .. Experienced Mastery ... over his second technique ..

in all of his techniques this one was pretty hard to learn and complete ..

and considering that it had three paths .. he was not done with it ..

in just one day .. his martial art technique improved to such a high stage ..

and even though he tried all of the paths .. they still didn't work perfectly .. it seemed that his conclusion was right ..

if he merged them .. then he might have a chance in passing ..

and his conclusions were never wrong .. they were like facts ..

2 hours passed just like that .. as he was soaked in sweat from trying so hard ...

although his stamina was way more than that of humans .. and those who have evolved .. it was his first time .. doing these kinds of things ..

he was used to being a nerd .. and now that he found the opportunity to make his life a new and evolved one .. he had to try the human practices ..

after he felt tired .. he looked at the screen projected by the robot ..

... this was his status .. he even felt much better looking at the numbers considering the fact that . he was most likely the only one with such stats .. despite being so lacking in his foundation ..

and the girl who was standing behind the door fell on her bum as she saw his status ...

although this was a new era .. she herself knew the dean's overall Fitness and battle status ...

even the most prominent soldiers .. didn't have this kind of status .. it was crazy for her ..

this status belonged to a person who was close to the energy eruption ..

or at least a person who had taken top-level pills and high training in such a short time ..

forget the question marks on mind and intelligence ... Terminus himself looked like a super handsome nerd ..

the things she was most worried about were his strengths , agility .. and everything ..

she couldn't believe her own eyes .. she thought that maybe the robot was still calculating .. there was no way such a student could get these ridiculous results ..

she heaved a deep sigh and looked through the door once more ..

and then a sigh of relief escape through her mouth ..

Terminus Modig's status was now like this ..

[Battle Status]

[Strength: 6 920.09]

[Agility: 5 941]

[Stamina: 5 190]

[Vitality: 6 988]

[Mind: ???]

[Intelligence: ???]

[Overall Fitness: 25 039.09]

but even so with this .. she could still see that he was stronger than anyone she had ever encountered ..

and now that his battle status has changed she could only complain about his intelligence and mind ..

how smart and nerdy was this guy ..

in her view .. this guy was stronger than her .. in terms of combat ... and almost everything ... but the intelligence thing was an exaggeration ..

meanwhile in the room ... Terminus sat on his bum looking at his new status screen ..

he noticed that someone saw his previous status .. so he tinkered with the system and gave himself a new status which could only be for geniuses ..

of course he wasn't arrogant .. when he thought 'genuises' he thought of kids with promising combat experience and good prowess ..

and if anyone other than the girl behind the door saw his previous status screen .. they would've been shocked to death ..

indeed .. he himself couldn't believe it .. he only thought that they were going to judge his strength by using words like ... [Strength: Saint]

he thought that maybe from their human novels .. they would use such ranking systems ...
