Chapter 211 A Little Revelation
"CANDIDATE 00126 HAS COMPLETED THE COMBAT PHASE!"
"CALCULATING COMBAT ASSESSMENT SCORE!"
The robotic voice announced and proceeded to start calculating Gustav's score.
Chatter! Chatter! Chatter!
-"That was..? What's with that performance?"
-"Why did it seem like he was faster than before?"
-"Oh my, I couldn't... It only took him about two minutes to complete this sub-phase,"
The participants' voices could be heard, especially those in white that passed the special class test but weren't chosen to be part of the special class.
They had no idea that Gustav would be able to complete this sub-phase so quickly. They knew he was strong, but they had expected him to have a hard time dealing with them.
On the screen, Gustav's performance was being replayed in slow motion as the AI calculated his score.
The crowd was once again astounded seeing his outstanding performance. There was no excess movement in the way he moved and dealt destructive blows to the AIs and cannons.
They started to wonder how he became so good at fighting and who trained him.
On Angy's part of the floor, she was already done with the third sub-phase, which was based on aptitude/intelligence.
Angy had gotten a '7' in that, and now she was off to perform the strength sub-phase.
In the middle of the next space, a large cylindrical-shaped black structure extended from the roof of the stadium-like arena.
It was very long and wide enough for six people placed together.
There was space underneath it which was where Angy was required to stand.
The bottom of the large cylindrical-like massive structure was smooth.
The AI instructed Angy to stand underneath it and raise her hands and place her palms underneath it.
Angy did as instructed, and she was told to prepare herself to lift its weight.
"THE WEIGHT OF THE TRAVIC GONDOLA WILL BE RELEASED BIT BY BIT, AND YOUR BODY STATUS WILL BE OBSERVED IN THE PROCESS."
"ONCE IT HAS BEEN DISCOVERED THAT YOUR BODY HAS REACHED ITS LIMIT WHEN THE MASS OF THE GONDOLA GETS TO A PARTICULAR AMOUNT, THE SUB-PHASE WILL END,"
The robotic voice explained.
"TOTAL AMOUNT OF WEIGHT, '12000 POUNDS'."
"RELEASING 2000 POUNDS!"
Immediately after Angy heard that, she felt the massive structure above her pressed down heavily upon her hands.
"Hnmf!" Angy moaned slightly as her face turned determined.
She held onto the bottom of the structure and pushed it up slightly.
Crrrkhhkk!
The cylindrical structure moved up slightly, which proved that Angy had enough strength to lift something that weighed two thousand pounds.
"RELEASING 3000 POUNDS!"
The robotic voice announced.
Angy felt the weight increase again, pushing her body downwards slightly. Her legs bent a bit due to the increase in weight. Still, Angy slowly started pushing upwards again.
On Gustav's part of the screen, his score was finally displayed.
"CANDIDATE 00126 COMBAT SCORE HAS BEEN CALCULATED COMPLETELY!"
Gustav stared at his score and nodded slightly.
'Just what I was aiming for... I will need to keep performing in a calculative manner to keep the scores in an even format,' Gustav said Internally while staring at the number displayed on the wall in front.
-"What in the world..?"
-"He g..ot a... 9.9..?"
-"Oh my goodness, wasn't the highest so far, an 8.8, and that was even in attack power, not combat capability,"
-"He's amazing,"
The crowd was wowed by Gustav's combat score, which happened to be a '9.9'.
The special class candidates had been training here since they were brought to the tower a week ago. So, they had already undergone these phases as part of their training. The youngsters in white uniforms realized that Gustav had just practically performed the Impossible.
"Hey, did you see him using his bloodline ability?" Glade asked with an inquisitive look.
"Nope, he fought without it again," Teemee answered while staring at the floor with a look of suspicion.
"What would have been his score if he had made use of it?" Glade's voice happened to be heard by others surrounding them, and this became the next topic of discussion.
"What is his bloodline ability?"
Gustav, on the other hand, was moving onto the next sub-phase, which was attack power.
The floor restructured itself in front again, and a large board protruded out of the ground.
'It's been a while since I tried to test it... Last time it was six thousand. Let's see how much I've grown since then,' Gustav said Internally with a smirk hanging on his face.
This was a bit similar to the board Gustav used to test his attack power back then in Echelon Academy.
Five months back, Gustav's attack power was around six thousand pounds. He hadn't tried it out since then.
'I have to reveal a little bit here... I guess it's that time, eh?' Gustav breathed in as he arrived in front of the board.
Angy and Gustav were going through different sub-phases.
In each sub-phase, both of them were outstanding in their own right. Nevertheless, at the moment, everyone was more interested in Gustav's current sub-phase.
Gustav stood about twenty feet away from the board.
He closed his eyes for a few seconds and felt the world around him.
He could sense the entire crowd focusing on him at the moment, giving him a kind of weird feeling.
'It's time,' Immediately after he said this internally, he suddenly opened his eyes which were glowing red.
[Combination has been activated]
[Bloodwolf transformation + Bull transformation]
[-1000 EP]
His body suddenly started transforming.
His body grew broader and taller, almost in an instant bringing him to a height of seven feet. His arms bulged intensely, becoming muscular as red hair grew out of his right palm, which turned into a paw a moment later with four claws that were seven inches long each.
His left palm was still brown. It had no claws, but it was larger than normal, with prominent reddish veins protruding from his skin.
Claws appeared on his feet, and long horns similar to the looks of tusks grew out of both his thighs.
