The test was something that he didn't expect since most of the questions were general knowledge of what he had learned from Sir Ellis Kadoorie High School. Basic Algebra, Social Studies Report, and lastly, English Listening which consisted of three difficulties from level 1 to 3 which he knew that he had passed with flying colours.
Rei was having the time of his life after finishing the written exams as he was now warming up for the physical examination which he still had no idea on what he had to do since none of the examiners explained to him and had only told him to wait unless they called him out.
The only thing that he could assume was the basic physical examination that his school had performed were the grip test, weight lifting, 30 second sit-ups with how many they can perform, long duration planks and lastly one hour marathon which would determine how quick or long they'll finish within the required time limit and laps around the area.
"Rei Nishimura. Please proceed to training room block A for physical examination!"
The speaker announced in which Rei followed suit as he navigated his way to the area for the physical examination. When he had arrived, Rei noticed lots of equipment that was familiar to him. A treadmill, weight press that had weights beyond the ones he would usually see at the gym, then came the lateral pull downs.
"Part A of the 'Physical Examination' will consist of the basic exercises. However, you are allowed to use your prowess to boost the results for better grading."
Rei listened intently as he was about to proceed until the speaker continued its orientation.
"The test will consist of a grip test, treadmill, boxing machine and shot put. The other equipment is for your warm-ups before the test. You'll have 10 minutes before we begin part A. Please use your time wisely."
The speaker ended its orientation as Rei sighed before using the familiar equipment to warm up. He didn't put on any heavier weights or add more speed since he needed his energy for the physical tests but he didn't forget to warm up properly since he still needed to prepare himself before it began.
......…
When the test had begun, Rei had immediately activated his prowess to give himself an advantage for enhanced attributes since there was something he lacked from his prowess. Every prowess had one function, to be able to destroy, heal, create, manifest or anything that was related to their innate ability. Except for an occasion that has one specific aspect to only have one attribute, spiritual energy base abilities which was Rei's specialty due to his prowess.
Aura Manipulation gave Rei the ability to copy others' prowess with the benefits of amplifying them to the best stats of the copied ability. For example, Ben's Stockpile focused on power which Rei's ability will amplify its power to double the amount or triple the spiritual energy that focuses on the power attribute. However, the downside is the amount of spiritual energy that he possessed to be able to hold the prowess in its amplified attributes of the copied version.
"Damnit. I can barely do much but let's put everything in it!" Rei thought to himself as he put every ounce of power he had in his base form on gripping the grip machine.
Eventually, he had reached his limit of 59.9 kg which the proctor had deducted it to as 60 kg for the results which Rei was confused about but didn't complain since he was able to put every effort and ounce of strength that he had from his base form.
The next one was something that he was comfortable with since his casual jogging and marathon exercises for his workout was able to pass the stamina test which lasted for 1 hour and 31 minutes since his prowess was able to boost his stamina for the long run in his base form.
"Man… This would be better if I got anything to copy other than just enhancing myself to the best that I could." Rei thought to himself as he proceeded to go for the next test.
He channeled every ounce of spiritual energy in his punch as he cocked his hand back before landing a solid hit onto the punching machine. The sound of the impact was loud enough to make the proctors and staff within the vicinity surprised at Rei's performance. "895…" One of the proctors announced as they looked at the score on the boxing machine with a dumbfounded look on their face.
Rei rested for a bit before going for the final test of part A of the physical exams. Shotput. He noticed the ceiling being covered with strange markings that emitted spiritual energy before everything was being deconstructed then reforming into an open space. "Please throw the ball up to the sky as high as possible." A staff member said before handing the heavy ball to Rei that the latter was caught off guard by its weight.
"Who the fxck throws a 16 kg ball for shotput?" He thought to himself before going into a favourable stance for him to be able to throw the ball at a comfortable position.
The staff allowed Rei to throw the ball the moment all of the preparations were finished. "Please proceed." They said as Rei took the cue to throw the ball to the best of his ability with no copied prowess. He only used his own power as the ball didn't go that far before dropping down to the floor moments later.
"775 metres." The proctor announced the result to Rei before telling him to wait around the corner as the first part of the physical exams were finished.
......…
After waiting for a while, Rei was eventually escorted by someone as he entered a room with what seemed to be a training dummy that people would use for combat training or at a shooting range.
"Part B of the physical exams will conclude battle experience and combat intellect. You are allowed to use your prowess to defeat the dummy. Please wait for the proctor's permission before starting the test!"
Rei listened intently to the speaker before powering up once again after recovering the spiritual energy that he had used from the previous test. "All right." He muttered to himself as he took a deep breath while approaching the stage, removing the anxiety as the adrenaline rushed in him before the proctor announced the test.
"Begin!"
The dummy immediately sprang into life as it dashed towards Rei, cocking its left arm before slamming it to him who in response dodged it effortlessly. His left hand managed to land onto the dummy's liver area in the ordeal before he retreated and re-engaged once again by delivering blows after blow.
Rei didn't give the dummy any time to recover from his assault as he had one goal in mind. Victory. He didn't waste any time delivering fatal blows when given the chance as the dummy had received a nasty blow from Rei's ongoing assault. "I should end this soon." He thought to himself before picking up a higher pace as his speed and power started to overwhelm the dummy.
Rei kicked the dummy away to create a space as he immediately dashed in before jumping above it, his leg already in a position to slam the back of his foot onto the dummy in a powerful blow.
"Eat this!"
He smirked to himself before delivering the fatal blow in which the dummy was crushed down to the ground, pieces of its head all over the floor as Rei catches his breath after finishing the fight.
"Part B of the physical examination is complete!"
"Your result is-"
