章 31: Wonder Warrior
"Good luck," Ella said.
Luis nervously walked to the red x, he had improved in fighting but the same couldn't be said for his confidence.
"Are you sure he'll be okay?" Pearl asked Tammy, she had a worried look on her face.
Tammy simply nodded.
'He will be more than okay.' Tammy thought.
Immediately Luis stepped on the x it teleported him to the arena floor to start his test.
Luis didn't want to look suspicious for a first-year but that didn't mean he wasn't going to show them a little of what he could do.
The test of strength was up, Luis pushed the pendulum pretending to be struggling and when it was close to the drum he pushed it a little push which caused a considerable bang on the drum.
"Wasn't he pushing that thing slowly?"
"Yeah, and it managed to make that sound."
Everyone was surprised by how something being pushed so slowly was able to make that sound but still, it was nothing out of the ordinary and they just assumed that Luis had added a little bit of effort at last.
The next text was speed.
Out of the ground came three portals each ahead of each other and constantly moving around on their axis.
The rules were simple, get to the other side without falling into any of the portals, if you fall into the first portal it was considered a failure, the second one was a pass, the third a good but if you manage to make it past all of them you would get an excellent score in the speed section.
None of the first-year students which had gone before Luis had made it past the second portal, but Luis was confident he could do it.
He passed the first portal which was moving slowly with ease, the second was a little faster but he waited for its move, then he stepped through the other side narrowly escaping the portal.
"That was close," Luis said panting.
"He actually managed to get through the second portal."
"Your cousin's fast Tammy," Pearl said punching her on the shoulder.
Tammy knew that passing the first and second portal wouldn't be so hard for Luis but she wasn't so sure about the third one.
"Let's see him pass the last one," Tammy said wishing he wouldn't pass it.
Luis was waiting for the right time, he saw an opening and quickly stepped through with his right leg but before he could pull his other leg in the portal had returned and he was immediately sucked in.
"He was almost through."
"At least he has the best speed result so far."
While the crowd was busy sharing their thoughts Ella had one thing on her mind.
"Was that machine wrong?"
She never thought Luis would be this fast.
Luis had been teleported to the starting point of the arena where he first appeared and was now ready for the next round.
The next round which was all about reflexes was a very complicated round which many of the first-year students struggled with.
The teacher would attach their feet to the floor with her earth ability, the person would be able to move the rest of his body around but not his legs, their machinines shaped like small cannons that kinda reminded Luis of the ones at home. They would be shooting small plane woods from all four directions, the goal was to avoid getting hit.
Weapons and abilities were allowed to be used, and the score would be awarded according to the amount of time one lasted in the last level before getting hit.
The first-year students before Luis had barely made it past level three and Luis wasn't so confident in himself now, he could use his fire ability but that would get Tammy and the rest of the students who thought he didn't have the ability talking.
Luis walked onto the spot and the teacher shot out a piece of earth gluing his feet to the floor.
'How strong is this thing?' Luis tried to pull his feet out but the thing wasn't budging.
The test had begun and Luis had managed to make it through the first level without even using his sword.
He quickly pulled out his sword for the second level and with its help, he managed to make it through.
The third level was a lot harder than the first two levels, he was overwhelmed at the last second and got hit.
Luis had been performing well so far, among all the students that had managed to make it to level three he had the best score so far.
Luis' performance didn't go unnoticed by some of the first-year students who had seen him get a zero percent by the potential measurement machine the other day.
"Isn't that the kid who got a zero percent?"
"I think the machine got him wrong."
"It's just a machine after all."
"He hadn't even used any ability so far."
"Because he doesn't have one." Ella had joined the conversation now.
A fairly tall boy with black long hair looked down on the arena after hearing Ella's words.
"Let's see if you can be a rival."
The last test was an easy one for Luis because it involved sensing the presence of an egg in six metal containers.
The final test was all about senses and the points were awarded on how fast one was able to find the egg and how many wrong containers one opened before finding the egg.
This was the hardest test as many of the students had to guess where the egg was some lucky ones were lucky enough to find the egg on their first pick.
This test wasn't going to be a problem for Luis because with his aura vision he was able to find it easily.
After finishing the test Luis was teleported to where the others were standing and quickly went to stand near Ella.
"You were awesome." She said.
"You think so?"
She nodded and that was when the number three appeared on Luis' watch with a small h below it.
Luis was okay with this result but something was confusing him.
"What's the h for?" Luis asked lifting his watch to Ella's view.
"I don't know maybe higher."
That would make sense because Luis quickly took a peek at one of the students near them who was also a level three but below the number was an L, which is supposed to mean lower.
"Next up is Silvia Cane."
A girl with black hair walked to the circle, she had a bow on her back and seemed to walk with confidence.
"Do you know her?"
"No, I haven't seen her before."
"Maybe she's new."
"She's so pretty."
The first years were chattering among themselves again and it was clear they didn't know who the girl was.
Silvia got to the arena and was now faced with the first test.
She stretched her hands and before the crowd knew it she had pushed the pendulum knocking it into the pendulum and making a very large sound.
"That speed," Tammy said.
"It's great right," Pearl said.
The next test wasn't a problem for Silvia as she quickly ran past all the portals becoming the first student to complete the speed test today.
'It can't be, no… it's just a speed ability.' Tammy was trying to make an explanation for the speed in her mind.
The next test was the reflex test and she had already gotten her feet glued to the floor.
She completed the first and second level with ease but the third one was complex and she had pulled out her daggers for this one.
The speed was tiring her out and four of the machines had shut at her at once, everyone thought she was done for because this was how Luis got hit after avoiding and blocking three of them.
When the woods were close it seemed like they stopped for a second as Silvia held out her hands, she quickly dodged allowing all four of the attacks to take each other out.
"What was that?"
"What is she doing here?" Tammy said.
"Do you know her Tammy?" Pearl asked.
"I'm sorry miss but you can't use that ability." The teacher said.
Everyone thought that her ability was superspeed which made them think that she wouldn't have any other significant ability but they didn't know that she had used telekinesis.
"Why not?"
"This is a reflex test and using telekinesis won't let you do that."
"Telekinesis, superspeed is she…."
"A wonder warrior." Tammy finished the statement before Pearl could.
