KINETIC

Lieutenant Anders brought out a list and called the name of a trainee to come up to the block, a short blonde girl, about 1.4 meters tall came walking out. She stopped a bit away from the block and took a running stance.

When she was ready, she ran at the block. Her speed was incredible, at least triple Leo's. 'She must have an ability that gives her super speed.' Leo thought.

She threw out a punch and a clanging sound rang out. A few seconds went by and then a number appeared on the metal. The number that appeared was 27.

All the trainees were shocked at the numbers appearing. Nobody had ever seen anything like that before. Lieutenant Anders looked at the number and called out the result, "27, class 3. Next!"

The girl was disappointed with only receiving class 3, but she had to accept the reality of her situation, and so she returned to the others and watched.

Lieutenant Anders continued to read names out. Most of the trainees that had gone up so far were displaying abilities such as super speed and strength, there hadn't been anything out standing yet, with the highest score being 38. Only about 12 students had gone up, and the highest score was currently held by a girl who shot water from her hands.

'There have been those with the same ability that have taken this test, but they got different results. Even if someone had the same ability as you, it appears there are differences in power between the 2 people.'

"Trainee Cain." Lieutenant Anders called out. Cains eyes lit up and he started walking forward, he looked at Leo before he left, "Get ready for a new number 1." He smiled confidently and walked up to the block.

He got very close to the block and then took a stance, he stepped forward and delivered a mighty punch. The impact was made and everyone waited. The number appeared and Cain smiled while walking back.

" Trainee Cain, 89, class 2." Lieutenant Anders announced. The trainees were in awe. Cain was the first person to get into class 2.

"That was a strong attack! He's the first to get class 2."

"I didn't know that guy was so strong."

"But if that's only class 2, how are any of us going to get into class 1?"

"How strong would you even need to be to get into class 1 if even that wasn't enough."

Many were feeling that achieving class 1 would simply be impossible. Most felt that even class 2 would be tough to reach.

Cain walked back towards Leo and the others, and called out to Leo," See, told you I'd get number 1." He was smiling from ear to ear with pride.

Leo gave a small smile, "Enjoy it while you can, I'll be taking the top spot in no time." Leo replied. Cain enjoyed the challenge and was excited to see Leo have his turn.

A few more names were called and another student managed to get into class 2, with a score of 53. His ability allowed him to control the ground around him to some degree and he had created a pillar of dirt to strike at the block.

"Trainee Clay." Clay walked up to block without saying a word to the others . He gets into a stance and pulls his arm back and then thrusts it forwards. Midair, before reaching the block, Clay's entire arms grows to be as big as his entire body, slamming into the block.

"Trainee Clay, 76, Class 2." Lieutenant Anders announces. This was the third 2nd class so far. Around 25 Trainees had been tested, so the trainees were starting to realize how hard getting class 2 actually is, nevermind class 1.

Clay returned to the group and everyone congratulated him. "You did really good, not quite as good as me, but still good." Cain said with a jokingly smug tone.

"Yeah, well you're a natural at this stuff, so of course you'd be higher than me." Clay replied with a smile.

Several more trainees were called up, the total number of them reaching 40 now. There were currently 8 trainees that achieved class 2, most of the others had achieved class 3, while only a handful of those that were weak achieved class 4 with a score below 10.

"Trainee Nila." A 1.64 meters tall girl with long black hair reaching the middle of her back stepped forward. She stood about 5 meters away from the block and raised her hands.

Both of her arms started to emit a red glow, getting brighter by the second. When ready, she released her attack. A beam of red energy blasted out her hands and slammed into the block. A loud bang was heard when the beam hit the block, and dust went flying from the force lifting it off the ground.

Nila turned around and walked back towards the other trainees, she didn't seem bothered by the result of the test.

When the smoke cleared and the number could be seen, the trainees were speechless.

"Trainee Nila, 136, Class 1."

Cain was the most stunned out of everyone, his score had been the highest this entire time, with Clay being the only one to come close. Yet this girl had managed to beat his score by quite the number.

"What kind of monster is she...? " Cain mumbled with his eyes still wide open from shock. Clay put his hand on Cains shoulder, "She's just stronger now, we can grow and get more powerful over time, make it your goal to surpass her." He gave Cain words of encouragement.

Cains face became serious, "Yes, you're right. I'll be sure to surpass her before we leave this academy." Cain declared with conviction.

Lieutenant Anders looked at his list and called the next name, "Private Leofalor." When Leo's name was called and he stepped forward, everyone went dead silent. They had all witnessed what happened in the cafeteria, and they wanted to know just how strong the trainee with a military rank was.

Leo walked up to the block, 'I haven't used all my strength since I escaped from that tunnel. I wonder what the number is going to be. I was surprised with the power of that Nila girl. Let's see if I can beat her with this.'

Leo channeled his power and placed everything he had into the tip of his index finger. He then tapped his finger onto the block and released his attack.
