"Please move to the ring behind you to start the second phase of the evaluation"the armoured man instructed while pointing towards the back of the students
The student including shin turned back and saw a well spaced rectangular ring with a pillar in the middle of the ring
"Please step forward and punch the pillar in the middle of the ring when your name is called" the woman said as she stepped in front of the contestants towards the side of the ring,she then tapped a wristband and an holographic screen appereared in front of her .
"Lovourus cheeter, please step into the ring"
A tall boy with long flowing hair tied up at the end stepped forward and walked Into the ring
"Why did I have to be the first" the boy whispered, obviously afraid of failing the evaluation
"Strike the pole"the female ninja commanded
"Ok ma"the boy said before arching hi hand backwards and scale started forming on it he then struck the pole with all his might
The pole immediately showed a figure that started increasing until it reached '100' before stopping.
"Step out and stay to one side next.."the ninja woman continued calling names after names and the list was starting to feel endless and all this while the highest a person had gone was '180' but just when shin felt it was boring,the kid that happened to be floating earlier was called forward.
Now that shin could see him well,he had shortblack slightly curvy hair and wore a jacket and of all things the thing that was most weird about the boy was that he seem to be wearing some kind of round shaped boots that reached up to his knee and had a flat round base that seemed to be more round than the other parts of the boot considering the fact that the boots circumference was reducing from base to knee region.
"Gadgets and weapons aren't allowed,kid"the female ninja I formed athe boy as he was going onto the arena
"Don't worry,I won't be using them and I can't actually pull them off here,it is usually a great hassle"the boy responded
Nodding her head, instructor haruna allowed him into the ring.
"So let's see, everyone has been pulling off about 180 ton punches,hmmm,how many tons would you prefer,miss instructor"the boy asked turning around to face the instructor with a clenched fist and a smile
"You would be disqualified if you fail to proceed with the evaluation right away,brat"instructor haruna replied
"Ok,ok,you all are no fun"the boy said while turning back and arching his arm slowly and effortlessly while standing upright he gave the pole a punch and the pole after vibrating started counting his score
"Ok,that should be 400 tons"the boy said immediately after which the pole should'400 as well
"That one is quite strong"instructor haruna whispered to herself
The test continued and finished a little while later with shin scoring 150 on the pole though he deliberately held back using only his normal strength rather than using one of his ability unlike other contestants and thier was also a red-haired guy who struck 380 just after the boy with the boots.
They were all taking to the next ring,this one was divided into about five Chambers and after getting there the huge armoured man explained to them the rules of the evaluation
"Each person will enter into one chamber and try your best to dodge and hit back the fast dodgeballs launched at you,the speed will increase overtime."
Instructor sebarin started to call out names and they all stepped into a chamber after which dodgeballs started launching towards them,all the contestants could now see how the test proceeded as the first few contestants stayed finding it difficult to avoid the balls after some few minutes.
This time again the boy with the giant clogs dodged the balls or more like flowed around them while also kicking them back immediately,though this time the marks weren't dospayed shin decided to count and he counted 200 dodge balls for the kid but another person happened to dodge and kick back all the balls launched at him.
Shin was called at last and he stepped into the ring and after finding the first 6 balls easy the next set of dodgeballs started coming faster but huji was still able to keep up but after personally analyzing everyone's scores he decided to stop at 80 balls since he had decided not to stand out due to the nature of his powers he found it a pretty dangerous thing to do
The next test was handled by instructor sebarin as well and it involved having a five minute spar with him with the aim of getting a bell from him
"Start"instructor sebarin shouted
A pale looking boy with a double edge dagger ran forward and suddenly jumped into the air with his transformed grasshopper like legs.
Hhyyyaaahhh
The boy shouted aimed to stab at instructor sebarin's shoulder but he was brutally swatted to the side by the instructor's fist ending the match abruptly
"Next"instructor sebarin shouted again staring at who would be the next unlucky contestants
Raising up his hand,Shin came up onto the stage.
"I will go next"he said
"Start "the instructor shouted
Dashing forward shin fakes a punch before suddenly sliding in between the instructor's leg, standing back on his feet behind instructor sebarin he was just about to take the bell when he saw a large fist coming towards him, crouching down he immediately launched upwards successfully avoiding the blow and then he proceeded to spin mid air repositioning himself he strikes down towards the instructor's head but his leg was suddenly grabbed by the instructor,liffting him back up into the air he slammed shin hard into the floor thrice
[-10hp ]
[-10hp ]
[ -10 hp]
Proceeding to raise him up again he was about to slam shin into the ground bit shin wasn't in his hand anymore and then he sensed something from his right side and thier he was,shin was now approaching the instructor with a barely enlarged fist
"Speed punch"he whispered as he unleashed a barrage of fast heavy punches on the instructor.
[ -5 ep ]
[-5ep ]
[-5 ep ]
[ -10 ep ]
The instructor though seemed to not be moving but amidst this sries of punch he launched a virtual punch towards the bell on the instructor and it ended up falling immediately crouching he fakes a punch to the instructors gut but proceeded to slide in between the instructor's leg going for the bell but just before touching them he slowed down making the instructor to catch up and snatch the bell away with his five minutes ending afterwards.
"Seems I have grown even without my abilities and with how much free stats I still have for anytime I need upgrade my stats"shin said while staring at his fist and smiling faintly
The other contestants continued taking the test with about 10 getting the bells including Yuki and they all seemed to follow shin's pattern of feinting an attack before going for the bell except a blue haired guy with a staff who shin had seen using lighting before at the first phase of the evaluation and some other three people.
After the completion of that stage of the evaluation they were directed to another side of the room this one had no ring or stage but only a floating glass ball and instructor haruna behind the floating ball
"Each one of you will step forward and place your hand on the ball then after which a wrist band containing all your information will appear on your hand and you will then be transported to the next phase of the evaluation."
Shin was now nervous as this was the part of the evaluation he had wished to be miracoulosly exempted from.
The ball happened to be an omni-ability testing artifact which was able to give all the information about a person omni-ability to another as long as both parties body part meet and the person's omni-ability to be read has his /her body part on the ball.
"Will you hurry up"instructor haruna shouted at shin bringing him out of his deep thinking
Placing his hands on the ball the instructor placed her hand on his, though it was the first time he felt another person touching him except his mom or sister and the person had no intention of fighting or bullying him,but that was less of a concern to shin right now as multiple screen started appearing in his line of sight and he could see the instructor frowning her face already
[ An external system has been detected]
[External force is trying to gain access into host's system]
[ System will proceed to block the extrnal force]
'No, nooo,you fool can't we solve this another way'
[Host has requested for an alternative to the elimination of external force]
[ An omni-ability tester has been detected]
[ What does host which to do]
Staring at the instructor in front of him who was now sweating slightly
"If it is possible allow the omni-ability bla,bla bla to gain access to only information on the ability 'super strength'"
[ Host request has been accepted]
[Omni-ability tester has been allowed to access information on omni-ability'super strength']
[ External force can't be detected in host system]
The system notified hi as soon as he raised his hand off the ball on the instructions of the instructor.
A wristband appeared on shin's wrist has stated immediately teleporting away bringing him into a white room
Tapping the wristband on instinct a level 1.5
Omni-ability-super strength and also a Omni-ability type showing basic ability type appeared on the wristband, nodding his head, shin was convinced he had now successfully outsmarted the evaluation officials,preventing himself from standing out
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile after he teleported away instructor haruna had a frown on her face
"Why did it take that long it all I later found was an ordinary super strength omni-ability"she reasoned to herself as she decided to keep watching his actions through out the remaining period of the evaluation before continuing with other contestants.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then after all the contestants were now in the white room a familiar voice was heard.
Commodore luchan's voiced bommed across the room as he addressed the contestants.
"Congratulations to those that have passed the second phase of the evaluation as you may not know, but some people have been eliminated in the second phase,now for the third phase of the evaluation, you will be given 5 hours to prepare after which,you all would be going crystal hunting...."
