The military sect

In a flash of light and a whoosh of air, Nova found himself standing in front of a large, mysterious structure. The official who came with him took him to a woman in a crisp, military uniform, her dark hair pulled in a severe bun. She looked at him and said, "Welcome to the sect am your guide, and my name is Miss Smith, I hope you are ready to take your physical assessment. Nova felt a wave of nervous excitement wash over him. "Yes Ma'am!" he replied with a voice filled with enthusiasm.

She led him to were the teleporter was and holding his hand they used the teleporter to transport to a huge Gymnasium were the other students were. The first day of the military academy students are expected to take physical tests and are given ranks according to the way they performed.

As the students were all puzzled about how strange their surrounding was, a middle aged man voice was heard, he was about 6 inches tall he introduced himself as corporal Keane and he was going to be in charge of the physical assessment of the students today.

As the instructor spoke, the gymnasium began to change. The walls shifted and morphed, revealing a vast, futuristic landscape. Giant screens appeared, displaying a series of obstacles and challenges. The students began to be encassed in what looked like suits of armor, the room began to hum with energy, and the air felt charged with electricity.

At this moment corporal Keane spoke his voice as loud as usual, " As you can see the armor you are wearing is called Prester, it's an armor that is used by soldiers, faction personnels, mercenaries and other related professions to what I just mentioned to increase the limit of their physique to become stronger. You all are going to use the Prester armor because it is one of the heaviest armors that is used for training and has shown favourable results over the years. The assessment will be to check the physical capability of your evolved body" some students were pleased why others were afraid and scared. Nova wasn't particularly sure of how to feel he knew his physical capabilities was nowhere near that of most of his peers but he had his smarts and unique abilities and techniques to back him up. As the students were chatting among themselves the loud voice of Corporal Keane was heard again " the Prester is an armor that is hard for anyone who possesses a basic evolved body and intermediate evolved body to move in it decreases the physique 10% and 20% respectively for individuals, only people who possess an advanced or higher evolved body are unaffected by the Prester". Most of the students had a basic evolved body the one they were born with why only a few had intermediate evolved bodies, a 13 year old having an intermediate body was viewed as a very exceptional individual and was often praised and give gifts by the people so it wasn't rare for the numbers to be few.

Nova was among the majority with the basic evolved body but his was weaker than that of his peers because he had an undeveloped physique. After humanity discovered evolution and the full earth underwent a full evolution hundreds of years later, the success rate of child birth was at a staggering 100% and all the children born didn't have any Physical deformity or deficiency but Nova was different from the rest he was born weaker, he was almost as weak as humans were before the discovery of evolution but as time past his body became stronger he didn't know why this was but he was happy at this development but even after all that his physique was still bad compared to that of his peers.

The assessment was to test the physique of the students.The corporal spoke loudly making the students panic a little " students are going to be treated better if they had good rankings and are going to be treated badly if they have bad rankings so you all better perform well, am going to call out names and any name that's called should come up immediately failure to do so will be given the lowest rank whether or not they participate in the test" he said.

He called out some names and the students who were called out rushed out immediately with panic all on their faces. More than 100 names were called out and used different portals why the remaining students just watched how they performed on a big screen showing the students, as time passed more students name were called until it was almost complete. There were outstanding results of some students who were able to last for about an hour some even going 2 hours( the test will be stopped if the top speed of the participant is reduced by half or more) the students performed well but none of their performances compared to one girl in particular who actually completed the run to the final destination why running at her top speed for the whole time without even looking tired, shocking not only the students but Corporal Keane as well.

When it was Nova's turn he did poorly lasting for 10 minutes and was ridiculed and laughed at by most students.

When all the students were done with the test, the corporal's voice was heard yet again " the assessment has been completed the rankings will be given shortly".

Not long after the Corporal spoke the students were moved back to the gymnasium and the Prester suit was taken off and a wristwatch was given to all the students display numbers which was later discovered to be the rank. The number displayed on Nova's wristwatch was the number 1024 and he felt sad and angry at the same time, out of all the students he ranked last. The student who was awarded the number 1 rank was a girl with long black hair an almost perfect facial feature and a serious look in her eyes not even showing a tiny bit of emotion her name was Ellie Rades.

Not all students showed no reaction like Ellie other students were jumping in joy after seeing theirs some others cried out their eyes. As the students were showing mixed emotions a young man who looked to be in his early 20's wearing a black suit of armor came and just when he was about to speak a long green hand that looked mutated holding what looked like a knife with speed the students couldn't even see stabbed the young man on his chest causing all the students to look at the being that they were all fighting against the first time any of the students had ever seen one, it was a Tarakian in the flesh causing the students to feel a shiver run down their spine.
