An hourter, the sound of the bell rang, and the students quickly moved back into the ssroom.
"An hour for break, huh? It''s just like the Neer''s area too..." Nn noted to himself as he looked at his device.
Thirty minutester, another instructor entered the ss.
This time, he spoke about the importance of the Quest Hall, exining how they could all take on quests, the various hierarchies of quests, and the power levels required for each tier.
He also detailed the different types of quests and how to receive rewards, as well as how toplete the quests under Celestial terms.
It was a lot of information, but what caught Nn''s attention the most was the announcement that in two weeks, they would all be required to take a solo test from the quest hall.
The idea of undertaking a solo mission unnerved many of the students, but despite their fear, they were just as excited.
Nn too felt a spark of excitement.
Finally, there would be some action, and he could stretch his muscles while also getting to see more of the outside world.
He wouldn''t deny his anticipation for the test.
Once the clock struck 4:00, the bell rang, and the teacher promptly left the ss.
Without wasting a minute, Nn packed all of his books into his bag, zipped it tight, stood up, and left the ssroom.
There was a ce he had nned to visit for the day, and he needed to get there as quickly as possible so he could have more time to train.
As Nn moved out of the ssroom, a few Two-Star Ascendants exited with him, but none made any moves toward him, and Nn ignored them all, heading straight for the training room.
After a 45-minute walk, he stood before a gargantuan building.
Entering, he looked toward the rear where Instructor Gerrard should have been, but he couldn''t find him.
Nn headed toward the elevator, and a ding rang out a secondter.
When he stepped out of the elevator, Nn found no other Ascendants in the Kratos training room.
It was understandable since ss had just ended for most, and it gave Nn thefort of training in peace.
The first ce he had decided to check out was the Battle Gravity Room.
It was a wide, white room where one would be required to battle a robotic opponent while enduring an increasing gravitational force.
The longer one took to defeat the robot, the more the pressure would increase, forcing them to either defeat the opponent quickly or suffer the consequences of the gravity crushing them to the ground and slowing their movements.
Nn had been intrigued by the idea and had saved the location for himself, nning to return here next time.
Arriving before the training room, Nn stepped in, and immediately the AI voice rang out, followed by a blue screen appearing before his face.
"New user detected."
"Strength being scanned."
"Strength has been scanned, and a value of ''1'' has been chosen."
"Please choose your opponent''s strength level."
The AI continued, and another set of panels appeared with options:
{1.0}
{1.25}
{1.5}
{1.75}
{2.0}
-----
{3.0} Chapter Experience:
"Hmmm," a thoughtful hum escaped Nn''s lips as he looked at the values, trying toprehend them, when something promptly came to his head.
[Your strength has been identified and represented by a single digit of 1.]
[Now, you have to choose your opponent''s strength level.]
[If you choose 1, that means he will have equal strength to you. If you choose 3, he will have triple your strength.]
[Make your choice.]
"Oh, I get it now," Nn mused, and immediately made his choice, tapping on the holographic.
{You have sessfully chosen an opponent with a strength factor of double your own strength.}
{Opponent creation has begun.}
[Pretty cocky, aren''t you?]
[Do you really think you can take on someone with double your physical strength?]
The system asked mockingly.
It was well aware that Nn''s mainsource of strength was his won physical body.
If he met with someone who possess twice his own physical durability, the Nn was cursed to lose but Nn didn''t respond to the taunt.
He began removing his clothes until all that was left was his shorts.
Soon, the sound of bone-cracking echoed through the room, followed by a figure slowly stepping out of the space in the wall.
"Well, there''s only one way to find out," Nn mused as he sighed at the sight of his opponent.
Surprisingly, it was a person—well, almost.
A young man, exactly Nn''s height, with twice Nn''s body weight, making him appear unusually bulky.
However, Nn''s eyes quickly narrowed as he realized something.
It was actually a robot, cleverly disguised in human skin.
The technology was so convincing that for a few seconds, Nn had thought it was a real Celestial Heir standing before him.
Its eyes pulsed with a red light, and it was d in some sort of war armor with a glowing gem pulsing at its chest.
{The intensity of the current gravity has been identified and set to a factor of 1.}
{Gravity will increase every five minutes.}
{Please choose the intensity by selecting from the following options:}
{0.1}
{0.25}
{0.5}
{0.75}
{1.0}
Nn didn''t need an exnation and immediately made his choice.
{You have chosen for the gravity in the room to increase by a factor of two every five minutes.}
{Please remember, you only need to say the word ''Stop'' to cancel all orders given.}
[Match will now begin in 10... 9... 8... 7...]
As the countdown began, Nn got into a defensive pose, raising both hands to the sides of his head and preparing himself for the challenge.
He didn''t n on using his Abilities yet and wanted to feel the power of one who possessed twice his physical strength with no weapon whatsoever.
{3... 2... 1.}
{Match will now begin.}
[You''re courting death, Nn.]
