Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Entrance Exam Part 03.
The three people in question were standing in between the other mob characters, and Soma didn't know their names and stories.
In the first section stood a boy with long black hair and a stiff face standing still while observing the tools. On the third section stood a petite girl who fidgeted upon the incoming test, for she didn't have any confidence in her strength, and lastly, on the last order was a handsome boy with blonde hair and a refreshing face that could charm every girl in sight.
"Begin".
The teacher instructs the candidates, and it starts with the black-haired boy.
He lowered his stance and retracted his fist backwards while twisting his torso a little, trying to deliver his maximum strength. Inhaling a deep breath and exhaling it straight away. The boy groaned, clenching his fist tight, then shifting his torso a bit and launching his fist in a straight line before it struck the damper.
A boom reverberated across the room, shaking every candidate's mind, blanking the candidate's heart as they tried to understand what had transpired before them. The number on the monitor shook before displaying a number.
"..Fifty".
"What?!".
"Lies..".
There were a lot of murmurs that echoed through the room as they witnessed the unbelievable scene in front of their eyes. The teacher narrowed his gaze as he began to tinker with the terminal in his hands,
The other candidates who were in front were also stunned in silence as the number was so high they were wondering how come the boy of the same age had that much strength.
"What is wrong? Let's not make the other wait too long, continue the test!".
After seeing the other four candidates stiffened in stones, the teacher who saw that began to instruct the other candidates in front to focus on their assignment. Because, there are still many candidates that will be tested. The three candidates started to prepare and struck the damper one after another. The number that appeared on the display was so underwhelming because of the event earlier.
The monitor displayed 5, 7, and 9 for each other after the black-haired boy.
There is still one remaining boy who still concentrates on his task. The charming boy was still closing his eyes before he exhaled a large amount of carbon dioxide while twisting his upper body and struck the damper, creating a bam sound.
"..25, good. Next 101…".
The blonde boy sighs in disappointment that his strength could only bring him to that point. As for the black-haired man, he snorted before he went back to the group, while the other created a way like Moses opening the sea. The other candidates were terrified by the atmosphere and the intensity of the black-haired man exudes.
Soma observes the two of them while deep in thought. His gaze was more inclined toward the black-haired boy as he had a promise to make with a certain someone. His mind began to form a plan for how he could get in contact with him. Looking At his expression, he is rather not fond of some stranger approaching him willingly, like a certain female character that has been changed by his influence.
"..ma, Soma".
"Hm?".
Soma was brought back from his thoughts as the crisp and clear voice reverberated in his ears, and a part of his sleeves was being pinched by a tiny finger that came from a girl standing beside him.
"125, 126, 129, 133, 140 steps forward".
"It's our turn".
Hina grabbed Soma's hands and dragged him to the field. Currently, he is standing in front of the tool while contemplating what he should do. Should he hide some of his power or go all out?
"Begin".
The teacher issued his command, and the other candidates beside him began to strike the tools one another.
Hina, beside him, also lowered her stance while retreating her fist behind. Soma could see that her body was too tense, for she was nervous about this whole exam thing. It seems she still hadn't escaped from it.
"Relax, Hina. Remembered, don't bother yourself with others. Look only at the thing in front of you...".
Hearing a calm and collected voice from beside her halted her thought as it gave a moment of breath for her to take. Her racing heart began to calm down, and the tension in her body lowered to a degree. She inhaled deep air before exhaling it slowly, repeating that twice and opened her eyes while tensing every muscle in her body before her fist struck the damper.
"..21, good. You, hurry up".
The teacher, who is finished with Hina, directs his gaze at Soma, who is taking his lower stance.
"... Good".
Hina breathed a sigh of relief as the score on the monitor displayed one stat higher than her current stats. She released the tension in her body and stood up before turning her gaze to her side and saw Soma lowering his stance while exhaling all the air he took in. All of a sudden her heart skipped a beat.
Seeing his serious, sharp-looking face staring at the tools before him, the heat began to gather in her face as she couldn't detach her gaze from those red eyes that sucked her in.
Soma, oblivious to the feeling of a girl who was staring at him, kept his focus forward. At first, he was contemplating that he should take a step back and hold his strength a little bit, but he thought that was an unnecessary thought he had.
If his goal was to enjoy a slow life in the academy, then it was a good choice for him to do that. But he is currently being buried with a ton of problems that stick with him even today. So, rather than holding himself back, he should show his full potential from the start, for he is determined to become strong to survive in this world.
He exhaled the breath he took in, and slowly, he felt all of the strength in his body shifting from the tip of his feet, travel around his nerves before it stopped at his right fist. Soma clenched his fist hard, transferring all of his body weight into his fist, thrusts his right fist forward while tensing all of the nerves in his hands and managed to strike the damper.
A deafening sound like a clap of thunder struck the room and other candidates' ears, jolted their consciousness away. Witnessing the might Soma had unleashed, some of the candidates were having a hard time accepting this reality as their minds were blank.
The tools mentioned were twitching a bit after it made contact with his fist.
The room turned deathly quiet as every candidate, and the teacher who witnessed it couldn't utter a single word as their brain halted seeing the other unbelievable event that transpired before their eyes.
From the clashes alone, the area around Soma was covered by a speck of white dust that came out from the tools covering the monitor that displayed his strength in number.
Soma raised his body and exhaled a huge white mist from his mouth. It seems from that punch earlier, making the blood inside him boil. He turns his gaze up like the other candidates and the teacher, who is in great anticipation, trying to know how much strength Soma has to make the measurement tool twitch in place.
"Eighty..".
Hina's voice echoed in the quiet room as in their ears.
