Test begins 2

----- Twenty minutes ago.

After Morgan had called his name, she had also explained that the laser bots and the mannequin were a pair of tests, meant to test both the agility, strength, and speed of a symbiote beast user at the same time.

So Bernard had no choice but to try to avoid getting hit by the laser beams at all cost, and at the same time was needed to either hit or destroy the mannequin.

And just like that, Bernard ran like a madman on the loose as he gave it all his best to try as much as possible to avoid getting it by the laser, which to both his and everyone's surprise he was able to avoid getting hit the lasers by the nick of time.

However, besides that, he wasn't able to destroy or even make a dent in the mannequin, except for the fact it only vibrated for several seconds.

For the final test, needless to say, he wasn't able to outrun the AI bots' laser beams, he was only able to do that before because the sole aim wasn't looking at his speed but to obstruct him.

Remembering what had happened, it was a hellish process that Bernard thought was done intentionally in order to humiliate him, or probably to get back at him for refusing to accept Morgan's 'good will'. He wasn't able to even last five seconds before he was shot in the legs several times, then his chest area, and finally his forehead where he almost lost consciousness.

Thanks to how advanced their technologies were, the laser beams were able to deliver the maximum number of damages without inflicting any physical injuries or wounds on his body.

"Okay, here are your results Bernard Cat," Morgan announced taking a glance at Bernard, before focusing on her digital watch again.

"In terms of strength, you got five. In agility, it would have been six, but you got five. Finally, in terms of speed, you barely lasted through the time needed to pass, so you got five. Overall, Strength five, Agility five, and Speed five."

Hearing this, made Bernard a bit disappointed he felt like all this had happened because he allowed himself to get a panic attack. This made him wonder if the sun penalty wasn't triggered the results would have been 30 instead of 15, which would have perfectly marched his stats in the system.

"Bernard Cat, your results have been updated to your profile and your power ranking level is a rank 1 symbiote beast user. All these were due to the fact, of your inability to communicate with your symbiote beast."

Bernard lifted his wrist and saw two numbers displaying, rank 1.0. After looking at his bracelet, he lowered his head a bit as he walk back to the rest of the group, compared to others who would have definitely felt a bit traumatized and extremely disappointed he never did any of that.

He had grown up in a world of cruelty where he was forced to survive rather living, he had no choice but to accept every result he was given even when he worked harder than others on earth, though the results he had gotten were not to his liking he knew it was only temporary.

The moment Bernard was done with his test and was walking to the back of the group. What he didn't know was, at some point, a pair of cold eyes with ash pupils stared at his departing figure momentarily.

--

"As I said before the test is to destroy the targets as fast as possible, without getting hit by the laser beams. So when you hear your name, kindly proceed to take the test."

"Sonia ant!" Morgan called out.

Hearing that, a short female could be seen walking out, she had green hair braided into two ponytails that fell to her foot with wispy side bangs. 

After she got to the front she stopped just outside the detection range of the AI bots, a few seconds later she suddenly began to sprint forward the moment there were red lights in Al bots.

A few moments after stepping into their range, red finger laser beams began to shoot out fast and quickly, from all corners at once in her direction.

When the laser beams appeared in different areas, instead of dodging or dashing forward to the target, unlike what Bernard did Sonia waited until the laser beams were close to her, then suddenly to everyone's surprise her two long ponytails suddenly began to rise to the air as they stood on ends, each in different directions, with each of them heading to her left and right as they shut out like a propeller.

Just like that, simultaneously all the laser beams were deflected, a few seconds after completing the first part of the test which was agility. She immediately began to run forward towards the mannequin target, the moment she was within close range her two ponytails shot forward like lances.

Just then as her two ponytails were about to hit the mannequin target, she groan as her ponytails lost their momentum almost as if they hit something like a barrier the target only vibrated.

Sonia wasn't completely sure what had happened yet, but when she turned she could see a net of laser beams flying at her at an extreme pace.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried to deflect or fend them off, they became too many until eventually she was overwhelmed to the point of losing consciousness before the AI bots stopped firing at her.

"Well done, though you possess the bare threshold of a rank 4 symbiote beast. However, your lack of skills and your unrefined style of approaching the test, made your symbiote beast seem far fetch from a true rank 4," Morgan explained with a warm smile on her expression making most of them surprised at how powerful the girl symbiote beast was, after staring at Sonia briefly she continued. 

"So for now, will be giving you the power ranking of a rank 3.0 symbiote beast, with a fusion rate of 70%."
