Chương 10: Training
When Rachel heard all this, she didn't know what to say to him. Even though she had managed to gather a lot of Intel, it was unexpected to hear all this. It was hard to believe, If she hadn't seen the things he could do, she wouldn't bother taking him seriously. " One last question, for real, this time. Will there be any more of your race coming to earth?"
Verlin, who was still looking down on his hand, looked up at Rachel and said, "Probably not."
Before Rachel could ask any more last questions, Verlin said," I think you should go rest now, I'll need to get up early for the training tomorrow."
Verlin didn't really need to sleep, but he said this, so Rachel could stop asking any more last questions. She didn't ask for anything too personal, but he wanted to do more research.
Rachel nodded her head and then left his room. While verlin decided to do more research for the rest of the night. He didn't go to sleep because one he felt like he didn't need it, and two, he didn't know how much differently time would move if he fell asleep. He knew his thought process wouldn't speed up when he was on a computer because of its limited speed.
And just like that, the night came and went by, and when morning arrived, Verlin was still on the computer. He found some other different things about the world, but it was nothing too interesting. He also saw news covering the disaster of city C, and what they were going with was an earth bubble. But a lot of the media didn't believe it, and some even tried coming close to where the impact was but were blocked by the army, which caused more conspiracy theories.
While Verlin was still scrolling, Felix walked into the room and saw that verlin was still on the computer. He said, "Did you not go to sleep? It's already 7 a.m. in the morning. We have the training equipment set up."
Verlin stood up from the computer and replied,
" Morning to you too, General. So what exactly are we going to be doing in the training."
"Well, first of all, we are going to have to test your capabilities to see what type of situations you could interfere with."
Verlin knew the test was simply more than just training. It was an excuse for them to see what he was capable of, but that didn't matter he wasn't going to show his full power.
"Alright then, so what exactly are we going to test?"
"Strength, speed, durability, and we would like to check your other abilities as well. Afterward, we will be training your ability to move things without breaking them. "
Verlin hesitated for a moment before nodding his head. They left the room and walked outside to the testing area. Verlin felt that he was stronger than he was yesterday, although the difference wasn't much if he was to give an estimation he would be about 3.5% stronger than he was yesterday. Although he could always feel himself getting subtly stronger, especially when he was in space.
When they reached the testing area, Verlin could help be surprised by how much they got done in a single night. They managed to create an entire building in a single night. Felix introduced him to a scientist named Darwin, who would be recording the data. The test started soon afterward.
" We would be testing your strength first. If you would make your way to the MX-100, we shall begin." Verlin didn't know what he meant by MX-100, but he looked at the machine that had the label on it. It looked like a small building, and when he used his X-ray vision on it, it really was. When he got inside and saw an area for a single person to stand with hand grips on the sides, he looked at the surroundings and noticed several cameras from different angles. He stood on it and held the grips, and didn't feel much from it, but he heard the scientist saying they would start the test with 10 tons and then start increasing the capacity, and when Darwin saw that verlin didn't seem strained or tired, he kept increasing the output until they hit the maximum of 10,000 tons. He looked at Verlin again, who was still standing completely fine with the weight of more than 20 airplanes on his hands.
Darwin informed Verlin that the strength test was over. Verlin left the MX-100 a little confused because although he could feel the weight increasing, it was like the difference between 2kg and 3kg back when he was still a normal human. He didn't think much of it because it wasn't even half as heavy as the iceberg he lifted yesterday, so the data they could find was very limited.
Soon, they started the speed testing, and this one was a lot less complicated. It was just to run around the perimeter of the base, which was about 2km in distance. He looked at Darwin he was about 200 meters away with ear plugs in his ear. Darwin shot his gun towards the sky for the signal to go. In less than half a second, Verlin had run around the base 3 times. But Darwin wasn't able to tell the difference and thought he went around it once. So he recorded 2km in 0.5 seconds, which would be around mach 12. Verlin didn't bother correcting him either since they wouldn't be able to see the difference in speed unless he was going across a large dustance and was being tracked with a satellite. Darwin wasn't sure how to record durability because from what he had heard, Verlin was completely unscathed from a small yield missile. Not to mention, he fell from space at mach 50 and survived without injury. So, for Durability, he just wrote down nearly invulnerable.
The next test was more of a systematic step. First, they had him move around with an inanimate object like a rock without causing any damage to it, then they moved on to a dummy that was similar to a human, and when that was successful. They moved on to an actual human. Although Verlin wasn't comfortable carrying a man, princess style. He was the only volunteer, so Verlin carried him a lap around the base. When verlin ran around the base, he ran just above the speed of sound, but he could still hear the soldier in his arms screaming, which should not be possible. He figured his ears worked differently from before and didn't rely on the transfer of air molecules for sound to be heard.
After he finished the lap around the base, he dropped the soldier on the ground and made sure his internal organs and everything on him were still intact. Once this was successful, he knew for sure that he could move others at speeds above sound without causing them damage. Although he knew he could do it before, he wasn't 100 percent certain.
After this, they went through some trials and simulations of situations during a disaster and how to act in those situations. Verlin thought this was also useless because if he ran into a foreign situation, he could just speed up his thinking process, and, even if there was only a couple seconds left, he would have minutes to think of a perfect solution.
