2 Chapter 2: Robots
A/N: To explain what it means by [Use Limitless for 60 seconds] - Basically, MC can use infinity for 60 seconds max.
P.S. this chapter has quite a lot of monologuing, since MC will obviously be thinking to himself since he's not gonna have any interactions until he enters UA.

Having gotten a head-start, Ren ran relatively far before encountering a 1-pointer after turning a corner.
'Thank god this body was smart enough to physically train themselves' He thanked as he now faced the 1-pointer that finally noticed him there.
The 1-pointers were small robots, meaning they were quick and agile, but not that durable meaning most people shouldn't have trouble when dealing with it.
The robot charged Ren as it swung its right arm high towards him.
He ducked under the arm, before seeing its left arm coming for him from the side. Fortunately, he jumped back with ease and avoided the swing.
'The robots slower than I thought it would be...' Ren thought, before coming to a quick realisation, 'It must be the Six Eyes, is that what 'See everything within 3m' means?' The robot then did a full body charge towards Ren.
He swiftly dodged it, causing the 1-pointer to ram past him as it came to a quick halt.
Taking advantage of this, Ren hurriedly ran to the back of the 1-pointer where he saw some plugs and other electric stuff.
He punched it, causing the robot to malfunction as it 'died'.
"Phew..." 'Looks like the Six Eyes makes my perception and sight better, allowing me to see movements more slowly and clearly. Hm?' Ren saw a new system message appear.
[Condition met: Defeat 1 Opponent]
[Ultimate Eye: Able to see into the future for 1 second. Cooldown of 10 Seconds] (Sauce: FMA)
[Condition met: Acquire 2 Eyes]
[Six Eyes: Able to see everything within 5m. Able to use Limitless for 5 minutes per day. Can be activated and de-activated at any time. Able to use blue - Uses up some time from the daily limit]
Though he'd love to learn more about the eyes and celebrate some more, Ren knew he was on a time limit so he was quick to carry on running in order to get more points.
A few seconds later, Ren had ran into another 1-pointer, with a few more 1-pointers and 2 2-pointers not far from it.
The lone 1-pointer turned to Ren and charged with a right arm swing, exactly the same as the first one.
He had dodged it, and a left swing followed. Then a charge followed before the robot stopped for about 2 seconds.
Ren defeated the robot by punching through the sockets once again.
'I see... so the robots all have an attack pattern. A 1-Pointer does a simple right then left swing, followed by a charge before it halts for about 1.5 seconds' He smirked, 'Good to know'.
He then ran into the group of 1-pointers and 2-pointers, to which they all turned their attention on him and began chasing him.
Suddenly, instead of defeating the group of robots, Ren kept running in search of more robots as the robots chased him from behind.
After running into a second group of robots, Ren made sure they were all bundled up, using about 5 seconds worth of Limitless in order to not get hit.
With the robots finally jumbled together, Ren ran back far enough and counted 10 1-pointers, 4 2-pointers and 1 3-pointer.
He then put his palm out as a blue sphere appeared from it.
He threw the blue sphere into the centre of all the robots which caused the robots to be pulled towards it as they began to collide with one another before being crushed into one.
Ren de-activated the [Blue] to reveal some parts from the robots remaining.
He now had 23 points. He then looked over at a timer for Limitless, and saw that he still had 3 Minutes and 55 seconds of usage for today.
'So Blue uses up a minute of my Limitless time' He deducted, 'So I have about 3 Blues left and 55 seconds of Infinity for this exam, that should be enough!' He thought with a smile as he proceeded to run around and use his remaining Blues to get enough points to pass.
.
.
.
With a minute left of the exam, Ren could be seen sitting down by himself as he breathed heavily.
'Man... running for that long is tiring, and the fact that I have to dodge robots and stuff as well.
At least I got something good out of all of this' He smiled as he looked at the message that appeared after he had defeated the group of robots with his first Blue.
[Condition Met: Defeat 10 Opponents]
[Ultimate Eye: Able to see into the future for 2 seconds. Cooldown of 15 Seconds]
The ground then began to shake as a massive robot which appeared in the centre of the site towered over everything.
'I'm not gullible enough to think I could take on that 0-Pointer right now. Plus, I've already used up all my Blues and only have 20 seconds of Limitless left for today' Ren shook his head.
He then remembered how, along with defeating more robots with Blue, he had also saved about 3 or so people, 'So that's a few hero points as well. I've definitely passed, I hope'
And so, with the final minute passing, a loud alarm was heard throughout all the testing sites followed by Present Mic announcing, "IT'S ALL...
OVERRR!"
With that, everybody in site E could see the massive 0-pointer being shut off (No one defeated it) as it stood there lifelessly.
"EVERYBODY, PLEASE RETURN TO THE STARTING POINT OF THE SITE AND WAIT THERE FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS!" Present Mic ordered.
.
.
.
Having been told to, Ren and the other examinees stood at the starting point as they waited for further instructions.
A minute or so passed when an old lady arrived and began smooching the examinees that were injured in any way.
After she was done doing so, she said, "Well done young ones for finishing the exam. You may go home now if you wish.
You'll be expecting a letter to be given to you within a week max to tell you whether or not you've been accepted. Goodbye" She walked away as she went to the next site to smooch and heal some other students and tell them the same thing.

Ren's parents had died, unfortunately. Though, fortunately, they were quite wealthy and, as their son, Ren had inherited all of their money. With that money, the previous Ren had bought a relatively cheap flat to save as much money as he could before he makes his own money in the future.
The flat was quite nice and relatively big though, courtesy of living in Japan which was a clean and nice country. It had a kitchen, living room, a bathroom with a toilet, shower and bath, as well as 2 bedrooms.
Arriving home, Ren took off his clothes and put on some shorts as he laid down on his bed as he decided to look at the system some more to pass time until he was tired.
He started by looking at his 2 Eyes he currently had:
[Six Eyes: Able to see everything within 5m. Able to use Limitless for 5 minutes per day. Can be activated and de-activated at any time. Able to use blue - Uses up some time from the daily limit]
[Ultimate Eye: Able to see into the future for 2 seconds. Cooldown of 15 Seconds]
'So, I get eyes by doing certain conditions, and I can also upgrade eyes by doing certain conditions. I wonder what other conditions I need to do' He then got out of bed as he went into the bathroom and looked at his reflection in the mirror.
'So, right now I have Six Eyes, what if I...-' He thought about switching his eyes from Six Eyes to the Ultimate Eye, '-Woah! Awesome!' He saw his blue eyes change to that of Wrath from Fullmetal Alchemist. Instead of one, however, both his eyes had the pattern.
'Wait, but if my eyes change depending on what eye I'm using, won't people know that my eyes are clearly changing!?' He realised, 'I mean... that's not really the main problem, I guess? I'd say what'd me more of a problem is the fact that I'll have multiple powers which is, like, bad for this world?
And wait, wouldn't people know what powers I'm using if they look at my eyes? I mean, maybe in the future I'll be able to unlock something that changes that?... I dunno' He shrugged as he switched back to the Six Eyes and went back to laying on his bed.
Realising this would probably be quite a slow week, Ren decided to spend the rest of the day scrolling on his phone doing random stuff to get himself as tired as possible before he fell asleep.
