25 Strongest Shinsu User!

The five of them are now keeping their distance from me now that the Test has concluded and it's fine to me. I didn't intend to make friends with them either.

We are currently sitting apart on the floor in a great hall with wooden flooring. The girl named Miseng shared some chocolate with me a while ago which I think is quite admirable even if she was scared of me before.

Maybe I am getting a bit arrogant and distancing myself from these people, but the fact remains that they will become a weakness for me later on and for now I don't see any merit from associating myself with them.

As time passed, more people entered. There was that Yeon Family brat too, that incompetent but beautiful flame thrower who is afraid of her own flames. What was her name again? It was Yeon Ehwa, I think. Oh well it doesn't really matter for now.

But the problem is that this girl is sitting right next to me. Do these people not see my FUG robe? This lady sure is carefree when she can be disinherited by her family if it's known that she has associated with me. Oh well, that's not my problem. Not like she is talking to me anyway, she is talking to a young master-esque brat whose name I have forgotten, well he couldn't have been that important anyway.

After a while of Regulars talking with each other about different things and me sitting silently here. Something appeared on the red wall opposite from us.

Something was written on it. It was:

{Shinsu Contest: Finding the Best Shinsu User}

A man also suddenly appeared with a machine like the space was warped at that moment.

It was a familiar face for me since he looked really similar and cartoonish as his webtoon counterpart. It was Mule Love. And he is really strong, I can just feel it.

Mule Love is a short child-like Ranker with large blue eyes. He was seen sporting a baseball cap with a long jacket and blue bottoms, his cap and jacket share the same blue chequered design and his overall attire has a blue-coloured theme.

He started speaking while looking at all the Regulars.

"Hi, Regulars. My name is Love. And I am in charge of this test. Congratulations to all of you for passing the first Test."

All the Regulars were murmuring about how cute Love looks and shit but I just feel that he could make a good sparring partner. Not that I wouldn't be beaten by him if I don't go all out. Since this guy is almost on the level of High Rankers.

As I was a bit lost in my thoughts and the people around me were murmuring and chatting, Love continued to talk.

"The 20th Floor's Test is comprised of three parts, including the final exam. You just passed the first test.

"This is the second test."

He says while pointing at a punching machine like device. It had a familiar face on it with a 'Hit Me' next to it, basically the former scout trainer on the Floor of Tests, Ranker Quant Blitz.

"Your ability to reinforce your body will be tested using this Shinsu measuring device."

Love says that and waits for any queries others may have.

"It looks like an arcade punching machine..."

Says Wangnan and Love acknowledges him by backhanding the machine casually.

"Well it's similar to that. Once you have reinforced your body with Shinsu and hit the machine. Your score will pop up on the board and your Rank will be shown."

He says while pointing at the scoreboard where a score appeared. It was 13,200,000. Of course it wasn't Ranked since he is administering the test.

"Eight Regulars will be selected after this test for the next exam. And now, let's begin the test. Please come up in the order shown on the board."

My name is near the end for this so I will sit here and wait for now.

After a while, an argument started for whatever reason and that young master stated that whoever Ranks first on this test will get his Yeon. Which is a bit ridiculous, considering that the Yeon isn't his anyway. But it's not like it really matters if they say such things, I will get the first Rank effortlessly.

So far the highest score among the Regulars that have gone is that of Arkraptor and it is 3,200. Which is a bit pitiful but whatever. Not everyone has cheats like me and are an Irregular.

The Yeon girl must have a debt with that guy, and hence she accepts stating that if she gets 1st Rank, her debt will be paid which the dude happily agrees with.

Horyang, the big dude with one angelic wing stands up and gets into an argument with the young master.

"Can't you be quiet? Don't you feel that you are making others uncomfortable?" Says Horyang.

"Do you want me to care about Regulars who are about to fail? Don't ruin my day. Run off now, before I beat you up." Says the young master.

Horyang calls the young master a brat and speaks while preparing a hard punch for the machine.

"Sooner or later, you're going to fail too."

And he punches a red looking punch and becomes the new Rank 1. His score was 6,350. He comes back to the young master and shittalks him.

"Your mom never taught you manners, huh? Brat."

The young master doesn't get offended at this and laughs.

"Hahaha, you're better than I expected. This won't be as boring as I thought."

He says while sending one of his goons ahead. And this goon said something about Devils and shit, which almost made me laugh considering my sword. He told Horyang and that he will show Horyang the Devil, which almost made me burst into laughter when saw his low level transformation of right arm by a low tier spell. Ah this farce is entertaining as hell.

The others are calling him 'Devil's Right Arm' which is funny to me since I remembered now that, Horyang is the true Devil's Right Arm but is concealing his power as a Living Ignition Weapon.

The goon punched the device and his score ended up being 11,988. Which is okay for a Regular. His name is Robdevil by the way, not that anyone really cares much for him. He jumped to Rank 1 immediately.

Now it was young master taunting Horyang. But Horyang maintained his silence like the big teddy bear he is.

After a while it was the Yeon girl's turn and she was all I'm fabulous and shit and went to the punching machine and then punched it. But in her clumsiness, was barely able to hit the machine with a side knuckle which isn't much honestly.

This made the young master chuckle but it died in his throat when he saw her score. It was 22,384. She became the new Rank 1.

After that the girl got up all gracefully like it was her plan all along and smirked because of her score. The young master seemed a bit annoyed but didn't say much. It was his turn next. But the Yeon girl in her pride just disregarded him.

When the young master punched with full force by using some Shinsu boost from his Lighthouse. His score ended up being 25,521. And he became the new Rank 1. Seeing this drama in real life is quite entertaining. His name is Prince I guess, but I will call him young master since the title doesn't suit such low tier trash.

Yeon then asked for a retry but Love refused.

Oh it's my turn, I guess. It's time to end this farce. I get up and start walking towards the machine.

"Haha. Just give up and come back to me." Says the young master to the Yeon girl.

Arkraptor, that gangster looking dude suddenly starts laughing and people start looking towards him, I also glance a little at him while walking towards the machine.

"Hey, Baldy. What's so funny?"

"Everything, you are all losers and you don't even know it." Says Arkraptor to the arguing duo.

"What?"

"Look at him." Arkraptor while motioning his head towards me and they turn and look at my awesome self and my robe.

I turn myself expressionless to appear badass. I mean I can read the atmosphere here. Also, is Arkraptor a fellow a man of culture as well? I wouldn't mind befriending him if that was the case.

"He is the strongest Regular here. He can kill every Regular here in the blink of an eye."

Says Arkraptor hyping me up.

I turn my eye from that conversation and quickly but steadily walk towards the machine.

I then my middle finger at the machine and throw a small amount of black colored Shinsu through it. My Shinsu is naturally colored black if I want to use it at full power. If I want to speculate on why, it should be because of my Void Shinsu Quality. Sadly I haven't gotten Sword as my Shinsu Quality since that would really strengthen me a lot.

And then to everyone's surprise and exclamations, my score pops up. Obviously it's something ridiculous even if I held myself back and just did it similarly to Love.

My score was 5,192,000. And obviously at Rank 1. If I actually used piercing technique like in the original webtoon, my score would have actually surpassed but that would need me to be serious. But Love wasn't serious at punching this so why should I be?

Love was looking at me in a very flabbergasted and hostile manner. Oh well.

Everyone else was just silent at this development.

Some time passed after that but everyone was silent for the most part. And the test ended without any surprises. Love then came on the stage area where the machine was.

"The test is over now. All the Regulars, please step forward."

Some people were lamenting their low ranking like Wangnan and them. But most of the Regulars came forward for this.

"First place, Viole. Please come up here."

I just walked to the stage and stood next to Love. Some people were crying in the background but who cares.

"Okay, now. Viole, what you should do...is choose seven teammates to take the next test with."

Love says deliberately, which surprises the rest of the Regulars. I wasn't that surprised since my memory was jogged by all the recent events that I saw so it was alright.

There's that thing with Urek Mazino on 21st Floor that I just remembered but that's for later.

"What the hell?! Then what was the test all about?!"

Screams the young master.

"It was to choose the strongest of you."

Replied Love with a serious face.

"What?! You said you'd choose the top eight!"

"Shut up, I'm the test examiner."

He just shuts the young master down and then turns towards me.

"Then Viole, choose seven Regulars."

Hmm who should I choose? I start contemplating my choices for a few seconds.

"Viole?"

Love looks at me questioningly.

So I reply-

"I..."
