MX198(Part-2)

"Not everyone can join the 'squad13'; they needed to clear a major test. And they take new members only once throughout the year."

"And there are still about two months before the test, so if you want to join Squad 13, you have to wait."

"Two months, ahh, that's enough."

"Thanks for telling me." Aeon genuinely thanked Ian, as he had helped him many times.

Seeing Aeon, both Ian and Salem shook their heads as they could see that Aeon had made up his mind to join Squad 13, but they knew it was not going to be easy, even though they knew that he was very talented.

"If you want to join even with your talent and current strength, it will not be easy, as your strength is still weak," Ian said to make him understand the seriousness and danger of the test.

Salem also said, "Indeed, those who participate in the test of Squad 13 are not only talented, but they are also very experienced and can implement advanced technique to the fullest, whereas you, on the other hand, are just a novice."

"You need to train very hard and improve your strength, at least to a peak level transcendent."

Hearing the words from Ian and instructor Salem Aeon, he nodded his head in understanding, but he was confident that in two months he would be able to become stronger than most peak transcendents, as his strength is improving daily, and it does not seem to be slowing at any moment.

After getting the answer, he also went to the changing room to change clothes for the basic test that instructor Salem had mentioned before.

And a moment later, all five of them came back into the training hall. Instructor Salem was standing in front of them with a mechanical humanoid robot, giving them a creepy feeling.

Seeing everyone's expression, he said, "This is the MX198, a combat robotic unit that has combat power at peak transcendent, and as it is made of special material, its durability is even above peak transcendent."

"Normally, we can do basic tests using simple machines, like a simple strength tester, but that is boring, so instead, we are going to use the MX198 as it can measure his opponent's stats during combat, and I can also see all of your basic techniques and hand-to-hand combat."

Everyone now understands why this creepy doll is here.

"Ohh!" Instructor Salem seemed to remember something, took a small glance at Aeon, and said, "And you all cannot use your talent."

He is aware of the destructive power of Aeon's abilities and wants to be cautious with the newly designed MX198. It was created by the Union Technological Lab, and he does not want it to get damaged. Otherwise, they will constantly hassle and nag him.

"So, who is going to come first?" Instructor Salem asked as he looked at all of them.

No one moved as nobody wanted to first, so in the end, instructor Salem glanced at Ethan and Luke as they were the weakest and they would not truly join the squad but rather be support members.

"Ethan, you try first."

Hearing the instructor's words, Ethan becomes nervous, as he knows he is very weak and this robot can even fight peak transcendent.

Seeing the anxious expression on Ethan's face, instructor Salem said, "Don't worry when you attack MX198; it will judge its opponent's strength and adjust to your level, so you do not have to worry."

Hearing this, he felt a little better and slowly moved and stood in front of the MX198.

"Ready, Start!" Ethan moved with all his full force while strengthening his body by covering his whole body with mana.

["Calculating opponent's physical data]. " A mechanical voice can be heard.

MX198 did not try to defend or hide from Ethan's attack; it remained standing straight, and Ethan landed a punch on the MX198.

But that punch did not do anything to MX198; it even did not move an inch.

"[Muscle density, nerve reaction, force... is being calculated]"

After this, its eyes became black. Seeing this, Ethan quickly backed off and seriously looked at the MX198.

MX198 finally moved, and its speed was not fast, as it seemed to have a similar speed, which Ethan displayed.

"As I already said, it displays strength according to his opponents, so don't feel nervous and try to fight with all of your might." From behind, instructor Salem said.

Ethan understood that, and he concentrated on this fight and used everything: fierce punches, fists, or kicks. Aeon also looked at Ethan, whose strength and speed were low, but he could see his moves were standard and he should have learned martial arts. It was not like Ethan, who would just overpower his opponent with his superior speed and strength.

"Well, he is from a transcendent family, even though it is a weak one; he would still have received training from a young age." Aeon thought as he looked at Ethan's combat with MX198.

The first MX198 attack was slow, and Ethan could manage to hold it, but slowly, the attacks became more sophisticated, and the strength and speed also started to increase.

Bang!

A clean and heavy punch landed on Ethan's face, causing him to lose his senses for a fraction of a second, but the MX198 did not take this chance and kicked him, knocking him out for a few seconds.

A moment later, he woke up. "I lost," he sighed.

Luke and Aeon already came close to him. "It's alright; you did great." Luke and Aeon said it with a smile. But just as they said this from behind, they heard a sarcastic voice.

"What good? Are out of your minds; he is weaker than a bug; even a servant of mine is better than him."

"How the hell did someone this trash join the union?"
