My System & My Academy of Superpowers - Chapter 335

Bang, bang, bang.

Loud metallic sounds were echoing in the big Arena. It was not a real sound, just some speakers making that sound.

“Today.” Students who got out in the Arena after their breakfast looked up at the sky, “Your Trait’s true level will be determined.” Satoru appeared in front of them with a flash of green light.

‘Portals…’ Ryan thought silently in his mind. Gwen was beside him, Saori was way far away from them. Totally in a corner, away from everyone.

Nobody knew her, she did not know anyone. She just stayed away from them. Before she gets in some unwanted trouble.

Students started chatting with each other. The loud metallic sound calmed down, Satoru coughed to gain everybody’s attention.

“Do not sweat it. It is not going to be a rocket scientist test.” He looked at everybody from the high-level ground, “It is going to be just a normal Trait Level Test.” he told.

‘Nothing is normal about that.’ Ryan thought, ‘These tests never happened before. I have a bad feeling about this…’

‘What would go bad, Ryan?’ Professor interrupted, ‘Satoru would not kill his own students.’

‘Yeah. But he can kill me.’

“Oh, I will resurrect you, do not worry.”

“Calm down and get down into four lines. Girls on one side, boys on another side.” Satoru waved his hands above his head.

As ordered, students started forming lines with girls on one side, boys on the other side. They were not divided perfectly cause, there are more boys than girls.

Anyway, two lines of girls, two lines of boys. Ready to hear what Satoru further has for them.

“Relax. You are going to face some challenges ahead of you.” Satoru pointed behind him.

There was a stand that looked exactly like the scanner they use at the airport. But this was advanced. Things did not end there, there were a whole lot of things behind the scanner thing.

Four groups of stands were made. They continued after the scanner stand. Some checkpoints, teachers, then closed rooms….

“Simply, this test is divided into five- uh, six parts.” Satoru corrected himself, “Get ready, students.”

….

“Ryan Walker.” Ryan heard his name being called from the scanner booth. He gulped before walking towards the booth.

“Your first task will be to just simply walk through that scanner,” those were Satoru’s words, what he told students before Ryan’s name was called out and continued.

“You will have to give the scanner a few seconds to scan your body, detect your Trait… or Traits. After that, you will be free to complete the second stage of your test.” Satoru completed.

“Go ahead, boy” Ryan stepped out of the scanner stand. He walked forward. A dark room was waiting for him, covered with curtains.

“Are you ready?” A woman asked Ryan in English with a Japanese accent.

“Yes,” Ryan replied in Japanese. The woman then tapped a digital pad which opened the curtains.

“Your second task, ugh, a leveling game with a bot. A robot.” Satoru continued in the past, every student was doing his own test right now, “Do not fear it. You are free to use your Traits however you like. Your aim is to destroy the robot and move forward to the next task.”

The first thing Ryan did was, “Vision,” It is better to know what he is going to face.

< Item: A Hologram Robot >

< Description: A hologram of an automatic humanoid robot. It is professionally used by many companies to present their technology. No harm to the Host. >

‘What…’ Ryan raised his eyes to the robot, ‘But it looks so real.’ the bot opened its arms. It was a humanoid hologram of a robot.

The robot was wearing no clothes, so only its metallic body was visible. Its eyes were some kind of camera lens that recorded everything live.

From the robot’s hands, a knife and a gun sprung out. Ryan’s heart skipped a beat when those weapons came out.

‘Crap.’ Ryan thought as he activated his blood fists. His one and only useful skill for combats.

The robot charged at Ryan, ‘Why, why Satoru-san?’ Ryan took a step back, ‘You never told us it will be such a dangerous ‘hologram’.’ Ryan thought as he continued running away from the robot.

He was currently looking for an opening, “Exactly, Ryan, it is a hologram.” As soon as he heard Professor, the frown over his face disappeared.

‘Hologram?’ he slowed down, ‘If it is a hologram…’ Ryan looked straight at the robot, ‘Then…’ he deactivated his skill, ‘I will pass through it.’

Ryan stood there without moving, still prepared for the robot’s knife attack as it was not using the gun at all. ‘Thanks, Professor.’

Satoru, who was seeing Ryan’s test, could not help but act surprised, ‘I can not believe it…’ He muttered, then a smile appeared on his face.

Ryan closed his eye. The robot came closer to Ryan within a second and swung its knife inside Ryan’s chest. It did not stop, it pulled the knife out and continued stabbing Ryan’s whole body.

‘You managed to figure out our trap so easily.’ Satoru sighed with a smile on his face, ‘Well done. I guess that adds points to your Trait- Enhanced senses & Clairvoyance.’

Satoru looked at a TV screen that displayed every student’s current Trait level since they started the test, that is. He zoomed in on Ryan’s Trait level.

‘Hah.’ Ryan let out a laugh. He walked forward and saw the robot still coming for him. He watched as the robot stabbed Ryan’s body over and over.

Ryan started walking towards the end of the room. ‘Even the sound effects are so real, they just feel too real.’ Ryan thought when he heard a gun’s locking sound.

The door in front of him pulled open. The firing started. Nothing but holograms of bullets came in Ryan’s direction. He glanced for the last time before walking out of the room.

‘And now the next is…’

“After you have successfully cleared the second test,” Satoru went ahead, “You will now have to face the third stage of your test, which is…”

“Ready, boy?”

“Hm.” Ryan nodded. Another door opened in front of him. He stepped inside the room.

This was a bring room, invisible glass borders surrounding a specific area of the Arena, preventing participants from running away.

It took Ryan some time to adjust his eye to the bright light penetrating from the skies. ‘Now… where are you?’ Ryan was patiently waiting for his opponent to appear.

“Your third stage will be a fight with one of our instructors.” Satoru had told the students, “Do not worry, we would not be using our Trait, whereas you will be able to use yours. Your goal will be to defeat the instructor in combat and escape the invisible barrier room.”

‘I can see no doors here though.’ Ryan thought as he looked around himself. It looked like an open ground to him, ‘Another hologram?’

Suddenly, with a whooshing sound, a woman appeared in front of Ryan. He turned his eye to a hot Japanese woman standing in front of him.

‘Wait… I think I have seen her somewhere.’ But soon, his thoughts were thrown away when the instructor bolted in Ryan’s direction.

‘Hah… it seems just like other holograms.’ Ryan scoffed, ‘No emotions, no talk, direct attack? That is nothing humans do.’ Ryan stood right there, in fact, he started walking.

Yes, right in the instructor’s direction. Without a care of the world, he started walking ahead, the instructor… the instructor’s hologram was too charging at Ryan with bare fists.

‘Come, hologram, I am ready.’ Ryan dug his hands in his pocket as he walked towards the woman.

‘Huh? What is wrong with this boy? Why is he walking towards me so calmly?’ she thought, ‘Looks like he is underestimating me.’ she clicked her tongue and increased her pace.

Ryan did not react even when the instructor was only a few feet away from him. ‘Haha.’ he wanted to laugh his head off, ‘Damn, I kind of love his test. I never thought it would be so easy!’

The instructor jerked her body to take a high jump up in the air. Her jump was as high as Ryan’s height. Six feet high jump. She was moving towards Ryan, with her target being Ryan’s chest portion.

‘Hah, and I thought I had a bad vibe about this. Looks like even my clairvoyance can betray me sometimes!’ Ryan was feeling happy, he knew a kick was about to land on his chest, ‘This is fun.’ he looked around for the door to escape this room.

He stopped grinning when he lifted his head up, he saw a kick coming his way, ‘Hm.’ he looked down, ‘that kick will touch me now…’ he thought, ‘and will pass through my body–’

Ryan choked on his own words. He felt his feet being lifted off the ground. He started losing balance, his body started feeling light except for the burning pain in his ribs and chest region.

Not soon after the instructor landed a hard kick in Ryan’s ribs and a little portion of his chest, Ryan threw blood out of his mouth.

Her foot was not that big after all, she does not have a strong build. So she only managed to hit a little portion of Ryan’s ribs and chest. But that impact was enough to throw Ryan off the ground and into the invisible barrier.

With a small whirlpool of shockwaves around them, Ryan’s body was off the ground, and it shot hard against the wall, like a bullet being shot.

The wall being the door through which Ryan entered, the door suddenly turned to a wall, letting Ryan’s back crash against the hard barrier.

He slid down and fell on the ground, he puked another slot of blood from his mouth, it fell directly on his lap. He continued coughing a few times.

‘As I thought, I know this woman. She showed no mercy.’ Ryan coughed.

He could feel a hard pain in his chest and ribs. His bones were beaten down to pieces
