Rita then took the students to a small battle arena similar to that the vampires were using. It was circular with the school badge in the center and projecting lights on the sides and above.
' We shall first test combat skills only and as time goes on the school will introduce different tests that shall make you no different from than any other species of life. But first I have to remind you no to undermine what you are going to combat. It may be wooden but it is more deadlier than fighting a malf. Do you understand. '
' Yes Ma'am!'the students replied.
Rita's statement seemed strong with emphasis and her tone seemed to be a warning one than a friendly reminder.
' Good luck. '
The centre of the arena opened and a wooden robot that seemed to follow a specific mechanism came out.It led moved to the other end like it had its own conscience and already knew what to do without instruction. A boy with a name Max on his clothes took the initiative and headed on the stage. He took out a bow and a few and began to charge at the robot fiercely one after another. But what surprised everyone was the fact that the arrows were always hit away by the robot and actually caused no damage. He then began to engage in close combat with the robot but it all seemed like the robot had already seen through every move of his. The students couldn't help but admire the skillful martial arts exhibited by the new fella.'
' Isn't he from the Show off family? I think he should be. No wonder he is so good.' the students began to discuss.
The battle seemed tense but after ten minutes Max seemed worn off and was knocked out. Tum has also performed well but not better than his brother. There were also two girls that showed good combat skills but were not as good as the two brothers. Every student could now tell how far they were from the two in terms of skills. Everyone had first thought it was going to be easy to defeat the robot since it was wooden but upon fighting, one got to know was far beyond expectation and was not to be undermined. Another person had triggered the lips of students causing an up roar. In his arm was a spear and when he began to spar with the robot, the force from his caused the robot to move some steps behind. The robot was a beginner training equipment but it's strength could not be undermined, so how was this person able to do this. Although his combat and agility was slightly below that of Max and Tum, his strength gave him an upper hand. The robot seemed to have underestimated it's opponent and then changed its attacks to a whole new mode. Upton the sudden change, Prosper had been hit hard causing him to fall off the arena. The scene made the other students more worried and werry of the robot on stage. It seemed like they were rats facing a cat.Lastly it was Hedrick's turn to head on stage. He really never got the attention of many but due to his popular of his comic scenes, he was quite well known. No one expected anything big out of this unserious fella after-all all he did most of the time was talk. Only few people looked forward to seeing what tricks had up his sleeve.
Mofasana had watched everything take place but his main focus was on this new kid that that had taken down a whole gang alone.Not just a whole gangs but a whole gangs of second years with high level achievements. What had astonished him was the fella was taking two taking two tests from two different places at the same time without any difficulty or suspicion. To him, this kid was a diamond in sand and was too cunning to understand.
' Come on kid, you are better than this, right? ' He said to the monitor as he picked a handful of popcorn from the bowl he help. He seemed like a spectator watching a beautiful show that was going to last forever.
Hedrick was now on stage but for some time he didn't dare attack but just moved side to side as he looked at the robot. He then moved fast and moved to its behind to make a sneak attack but it seemed like the robot had already seen through his attack. He then unengaged and looked at the robot once again.
' Has an extremely high defensive alertness from any attacks. But how does it sense the change in strength?'
Hedrick had then discovered that the defective of defense changed according to the attack. The students were dazzled about what exactly was happening. Why was the fella just looking at the robot and not fighting.
' I guess he is afraid of losing face in front of all these students. Or maybe he is worried about someone not being around. "the students began making their own guesses on the mysterious fella on stage.
Hedrick this time attacked in slow motion and the robot replied to the attack in slow motion but he as soon as he changed the speed, the robot had also increased its speed and blocked all the attacks. Hedrick now knew the mechanism behind the robot was more complicated than he had anticipated but didn't didn't make him surprised by a bit.
' Nothing is perfect. A wooden machine can never have a 100 percent efficiency hence there must always be a flaw somewhere.'
Hedrick then decided to engage in combat with the robot until he found the flaw in its mechanism. He then pulled out the daggers he had attained earlier and decided to go into a closed combat with the robot. His speed, agility, flexibility and combat skills seemed to surpass everyone present but his strength was lower than that of Prosper.
' Let's see what you gat kid.' Rita mumbled as a faint smile appeared on the right side of her lip below her nose.
The battle seemed tense as the robot itself had been retaliating after awhile.
The battle became intense that the students were just speechless on what was happening at the Moment. Even Rita was surprised at what was happening. Never had she expected the guy who always talked much to have such great skills. Of course it's rare to find a great talker who isn't a great lair after-all actions speak louder than words at the end of the day.The only person who had not been stunned was Mofasana who was puzzled trying to figure out what this fella was upto.It seemed like some crazy guy trying to build the tower of babylon despite having limited capital.
' I finally got it. It's all about the pressure you put on it. '
He then charged forward and punched at a slow rate while the robot too replied at a low rate. He then held it by the wrist parts and pulled it hard not giving it a chance to react kicked it by the knee joint forcing it to kneel and then wrapped his arms by the neck running to its back and slammed the back of its head to the ground with force. He the got quickly and kicked it hard in the face causing it to have a system failure.
' Alert! Alert! System failure. Defense mode inactivated by foreign body. Alert! Alert! System failure. Defense mode inactivated. Shut down in progress.' the robot spoke as it's eyes started to shut down slowly by slowly. He jumped up and down as if he had won a tournament kicking it continuously.
' Stop! ' Madam Rita shouted on top of her voice.
She flew from where she was to the arena in one breath.
' So fast?She can even fly? Is that the legendary Zero Gravity Elevation Technique?' the students exclaimed here and there.
Hedrick just had his mouth open as he just saw on as danger flew towards his way. He could feel that the atmosphere was intense. His breathing rate and heart beat increased per micro sec. It seemed like an angel of death was coming to take his soul the next second. The excitement time on his face faded away as the pressure in the room increased making everyone almost unenable to breathe. Some students began to kneel down with blood dropping from their noses when the pressure became heavy to handle.
' Why did you destroy the robot?' Rita asked coldly. The tone was enough to make a weak hearted person pee on himself.Hedrick himself found it hard to breathe with his body trembling unstoppablely until he was on his knees.
' You will be handled by the Rules Regulator after this.'
She then moved away walking down the arena and the atmosphere returned to normal with the pressure reducing. The students were stunned by what had just happened a few moments ago. Not only were they wary of the teacher but also the weird fella who had destroyed the robot that had defeated everyone a while ago.
' Sorry for what has just happened. Good enough everyone here has finished the test so the rest of the things will be communicated by the school. Each of you will receive their respective points according to their progress from here. From tomorrow onwards, you shall have classes in your respective wholes as it will be displayed on your watches. That's all for now, have a nice time.' She said with a calm angelic voice that melted the souls of everyone present. The voice made the students forget all the wary and heart- shaking experience they had had a few moments before.
' Thank you madam.' the students replied with a cheerful smile on most of them.
Two portals opened that led the students out of the whole while Rita and Hedrick headed out of the whole to the Rules Regulatory Office. They stepped out of the portal and headed to a building with the old Asian architecture surrounded by water and a small bridge that led towards the court yard.
The path was smooth as jade with flowers on the sides.The breeze from the water gave the living beings around the feeling of rebirth in paradise. The sweet voices of birds and breeze of the water made everything feel like it was a dream in paradise. It say it in a short way, it was just beautiful and stunning.
They moved across the bridge until they came to door way with a triangular shape and on top the title Rules Regulatory Office. They entered the environment within was quiet like it never had anyone.
' What brings you here little Sparrow?Did you bring the person I asked for?' a voice sounded within the room and Hedrick heart skipped a beat.
' Greetings Elder Wen. ' Rita replied as she bowed down with Hedrick following from behind.
' Yes, he is right here but...' She added but paused a little and an old man came into sight as they lifted their heads. He was dressed in white robes and grey hair on his head. He stood as he inspected the party that had just arrived while playing with his long beard constantly.
' Good! Good! His is quite different.' he then spoke while nodding his head.
He then led the towards a hall and waved his hand and a table with three chairs came into sight.
' Young man, you stay seated here as I and your teacher discuss some things. He then waved his hands and a small book appeared on the table.
' Hope you won't get bored before I come back.' He said with a smile and moved with Rita out of the whole to the back where a small garden came into view.
Hedrick then inhaled in deeply not understanding what exactly what taking place and then opened the book the old man had left him. The book was entitled The bloodlines of The planet Elon.His eyes lit up and began to wonder how many things he didn't know about on this planet. How many bloodlines would this planet have. A smile appeared on his face as he began to inspect the book the book with curiosity.
