Chapter 242: Make way
Chapter 242: Make way
Elyon said ” In the next round , we will do a simple basic compilation test… A short 1 km sprint and a basic strength test , only top 100,000 will move on to the next stage. That or if one of your events of choice is equestrian , then it will be a simple test of your pets , the test will be taken independently by the AI , and rankings will be given , the moment you choose to accept the invitation you will be transported into the sprint track , followed by the power machine tester. Do your best !”.
Everyone panicked inside , out of over 10 million participants only 100,000 will move onto the next stage? Isn’t this elimination rate too terrifying? .
However with everyone muted , nobody could utter a single word. Soon, the invitation arrived …
System notification :
Japanese priliminary selections Round 2 , please choos your event
1) Equestrian
2) Any other event
3 Both
Rudra chose any other event option and was instantly transmitted to the racetrack.
A countdown was displayed infront of him , which was still at 20 .
The AI the displayed the set of rules for the sprint. It read
1) There will be no second chaces soo Run at your best speed
2) Only run on the given path , and don’t go outisde the white line , if you cross the white line while running , you will be disqualified.
3) No movement techniques can be used , or you will be disqualified.
The challenge starts in 20 seconds , good luck!
The timer started to tick , and Rudra came into his running action. Rudra’s tummy felt funny , it felt like butterflies were flying inside them. The original Rudra would have admitted that he felt nervous , however Shakuni just snorted and said ” Calm down body , I got this “.
19..18…17..16. .. . 3..2…1!! GO!
Rudra bolted , he did not dare reserve his speed in this stage , as the cutoff was not clear , and went all out.
His stats along with his inherent golden ratio skill and tier 2 boost. Was already top notch , even rivalling the best thieves and assasins.
Rudra covered the distance of one km in 27.4 seconds. He had already crossed the realm of normal humans once he stepped into tier two , however even he was shocked that he was about three times faster than the fastest human .
Man , did that sprint feel good. Going all out was sure fun. Rudra enjoyed the sprint , However he had no time to savour it at all , as the next challenge started immediately.
The AI said ” Detecting …. Player is from the Knight class , preparing appropriate test “.
Although the second test was about testing strength it would be different for different classes.
As it was normal for Barbarians to have more points invested in strength stat , and less in intelligence , however the necromancer had nothing to do with strength stat and would have heavily invested in intelligence.
This did not mean that the necromancer was inferior to the barbarian player. Hence everyone was judged comprehensively according to their class and strength.
Even the result of the race , a wizard could never beat a assasins time in a 1 km dash , however the system calcultes the result according to the class, and comprehensively selects the top 100,000 players.
A punching and a kicking machine spawned in the room. And the rules were explained. Rudra could not use any skills , and had to punch and kick the two machines with full power .
Rudra got into stance , he was no professional boxer , but he knew how to throw a punch , putting weight on his feet , he rotated his hips , and struck the machine at what he felt was the best angle to display his full strength.
A count of 1300 pound force was displayed. It was a deadly punch!
The strongest human could throw a punch of about 410 pound force , and that person was a internal force expert.
Again Rudra’s strength surpassed a normal superhuman by 3 times. He was beyond strong at this point.
Next was the kickforce. Rudra was unsure about kicking techniques , he rarely used kicks in his fights , he also knew nothing like kickboxing or taekwondo.
Assuming a stance like he was kicking a football of a half volley , Rudra slammed his right leg right into the heart of the machine.
BANG! , The machine shook a bit at impact!
5000 pound force !
His kick was four times stronger than his insanely strong punch … That too with a wrong technique , with a proper one , who knows what he could have done.
System notification : Initial assessment complete …returning to base.
Rudra was returned to the open ground , as one by one people started to teleport back and occupy the training field again.
After 10 minutes , Elyon came to the stage again …. And said , “I thank everyone who came here today , to take time to represent your contry , however I’m sorry to inform that many of you won’t be able to make it.
AI teleport those who did not make the cutoff out please. “.
Out of the 10 million , only 100,000 remained on the field after that announcement , as a majority of the masses had been teleported out.
The once crowded ground , now looked empty , as once packed people now looked scarce.
Elyon clapped , and the ground shrunk to a much smaller size.
Elyon looked at the crowd and said ” Congratulations , you are top 1% of the country , however it’s still not enough , only the best amongst you , the top 1% of the top 1% , may represent this nation .
Hence before round 3 let’s take a look at your comprehensive rankings …. “.
Ai started displaying the list , and the top list went like ….
1) Player name : ‘
