"Bang!"
The entire train trembled slightly as a shockwave arose from across the distant land.
Almost a mile away, an enormous figure as tall a Colossus blanketed the setting sun directed towards the side of the train carriage.
The figure couldn't be seen clearly as it stood admist towering trees, but it's roars sent explosive soundwaves that blasted apart the trees in a circular arc.
"Hoooooooooong!"
Heat wave blasted from its body with a puff as the figure rapidly ran after the train like a mountain of meat.
This time, no one was able to keep their calm. That was because the figure was gradually catching up to them.
Bursting out from the forest, the enormous figure could now be seen clearly. It resembled an gigantic human covered in part flesh, part tissues with more bony tissue exposed around its face. Like the Colossus, it was tall but was around 20 meters in height. It had long and elephantine feet which left deep imprints on the ground. It's belly fat jiggling with each step.
"I-it's actually a Zombie Titan!" Someone stammered in shock. A zombie Titan? The rest of the students immediately trembled in fear.
Suddenly, a shirtless middle-aged man jumped out from the train and without hesitation and shot towards the distant Mindless Titan like a roaring missile.
"Who is that?"
"It's actually Titan Shifter! We are lucky we get to see one in action today!" The students immediately got excited to watch the scene. But it was a pity that with the speed of the train, they wouldn't be able to see much of the fight.
Currently, the man was like tiny cockroach compared to the Zombie Titan. Suddenly, blood splattered from the middle-aged man and he leapt in mid-air.
"Roar!!!"
A long loud deep guttural cry that seem to envelop the clouds bellowed from the man's lips and a massive surge of hot steam erupted from his body, spreading out quickly like smokescreen as it shrouded his entire figure along with the sixty meter radius.
The World seem to have gone silent at this point. All of a sudden, there was a thunder clap and yellow lightning flash in mid air, connecting the sky with the ground!
Massive amount of condensed nuclear energy surged like a tide, enveloping the entire ten meter radius in its toxicity. If an ordinary human were to have just a whiff, that would be the of the human. Even an enhanced would be poisoned by that much energy.
Suddenly, a massive figure shot out from the cloud of radiation and hot steam, shooting at the zombie titan like an artillery shell!
"Rumble!"
The ground shook heavily as the figure landed. The man had transformed into a Titan at the last moment! His figure was about 15 meters tall, about half the size of the zombie Titan.
His body was extremely muscular, but there was barely flesh on his body, just pure streamlined muscle and tissue. Instead of the normal two arms though, he had two extra muscular arms. His entire body radiated immense power that originated from his nuclear pulse.
"Badump!" His heart pounded and the lightning shaped vein near his heart: the pulse glowed, power streaming throughout his entire body like a river with his blood as the channel, he punched out.
"BOOOOOOOOM!"
The entire world seem to have shaken and a massively rippling shockwave traveled through the air in a circular radius.
The train that was almost 200 meters away trembled from the force as it leaned to the side.
The wave passes through the group of students and some people directly collapsed, their ears bleeding from the enormous shockwave.
Erian's face had turned pale and his ears were ringing loudly as though a bell had slammed directly to his brain.
It toon him a while to finally recover his bearing, and by that time, the train had already moved more than a kilometer radius.
Erian saw that apart from himself, a few other people were also recovering from the shockwave. He then felt eyes staring at him, making him stare forwards. It was actually Valeria King.
She had actually recovered almost the same time as Erian and a frown could be seen on her face as she didn't thick someone would actually be able to recover before her.
Although the time frame wasn't much, it was enough for her to be unsatisfied, putting Erian on her list.
"What just happened?" Aryan who was by his side groaned. While he didn't bleed from his ears, he was still deeply affected by the shockwave.

On the transparent glass screens in the driver's compartment, Bloodthorn smiled eagerly. She watched as most of the students recovered too late and shook her head. "The recruites are even worse this year. "
She didn't need to test them to know that more than half of them would die during the entrance examination but she wasn't smiling because some would survive, she was smiling in anticipation because would be a great show to watch later on.

Occasional shockwaves along with explosive rumbling sounds spread out to the train from the distance, but it was just mere diluted shockwave thag had transformed into breeze due to the distance. About twenty minutes later, the sounds died down and when the students were still recovering from the earlier blast, loud booming sounds echoed from the distance, and am enormous figure could be seen catching up to the train.
It was the Four-armed Titan shifter. His speed was so fast he caught up to the train, passing the several carriages of students before arriving at the first compartment.
Lightning flashes and a thunder clap struck near the side of the train. The man had shifted back to his human form, hopping back into the driver's compartment.
Erian's eyes flashed. 'One day, I will be even stronger than him!' he clenched his fists as he made the declaration in his heart. He knew with the chip in hand, it was only a matter of time.
Just then, he frowned as he smelt a fragrance in the air and a sweetened taste at the tip of his tongue. Suddenly, he noticed the Aryan by his side snoring along with the other students that were falling asleep one by one. Erian's expression changed drastically. They had been drugged!
His wasn't able to react much when his mind turned foggy as he felt extremely drowsy. He bit his lips as he struggled to stay awake, but the gas in the air was too powerful.
"Uhn? You few are actually able to resist Halothysne? There might be hope for you guys afterall." A voice indifferently said whispered as Erian's vision finally went dark.
