"Where is that machine?" Ryan wondered, "Ugh, only if I would have worked better, my defense points would have been better." Ryan regretted his mistakes while fighting the robots.

"You cleared the final round by taking the damage of 2 headbutts from a total of 20 headbutts."

"Whoa, is it going to give me a detailed report of my defense test? Well, it is exhilarating." Ryan grinned while focusing his eye on a screen projected from the robot.

Ryan was walking around the room looking at every machine which was displayed around the hall. Ryan took a step forward and suddenly, an arm popped out.

"Huh?" Ryan was startled by a sudden arm popping out from the wall, "What the?" Ryan touched the arm and pushed it away. Ryan creeped out when the arm suddenly grabbed Ryan's hand, "Hey!" Ryan let out a small shriek.

"You have discovered the final stage of the test." Ryan stopped pulling his hand cause he was hooked by the words of the voice, "To complete the test, as well as this final stage of the test, you will have to beat the robot in a match of arm wrestling." Ryan's eye lit up.

'That easy- wait, with a robot you say?!' Ryan shouted at the unknown voice.

"Enduring 50 punches out of a total of 200 punches." the robot continued projecting the detailed review of Ryan's defense test, "A total of 80 kicks from 300 kicks."

"Whoa.. that much? I never even realized it." Ryan frowned at the projection.

"You complete the stage with an overall rating of your defense stat being 6.5 out of 10!"

"..."

"Do not be discouraged, you still have a long way and a big room for improvement. You can surely hone your defense skills!" the robot said in a cheerful voice. Which did not cheer Ryan up by even a little.

Ryan grabbed the robot's hand tightly in his hand. Ryan was ready to make the robot taste the dust. Ryan had confidence in his arm-wrestling skill.

"Begin!" the robot counted down to three, and the match began.

Ryan was trying his best but.. somewhere deep inside his body, he was able to sense the little bit of fatigue building up.

'Come on! This all depends on my arm!' Ryan got fired up. It was hard to match a robot's power but Ryan was giving his best.

Bang! Chop!

Gwen landed a fine chop on her instructor's nape, which made him lose his consciousness and drop to the ground. She had easily defeated the instructor.

But the main problem for her was.. how to get out of the room. She looked around her, she tried going back from the way she came but the door was not there anymore.

Gwen started throwing the tiny pebbles which were on the ground. She managed to get lucky and open the door a few times. That was enough for her to form her own theories.

The theory master is back. 'Got it.' She figured out the pattern of the door quickly after throwing the stones.

There was no pressure on her of the instructor whatsoever, unlike Ryan. she took her time, she had her time to figure out the door's pattern.

With that done, she passed through the third stage. And now to the fourth stage.

The specialized combat robot was holding only of rod in its hand. A metal rod slid down in front of the robot.

Gwen stepped forward with the rod in her hand. She had snatched the rod from the robot easily. Her swordswoman skills were coming in handy.

Bang! Clang!

The rod went through the robot's head. She pulled it back and smashed the rod against the robot's neck. With a sizzling sparking sound, the robot's head flew a few feet away.

The head detached and fell to the ground. A few wires were still sparking, coming half out of the robot's beheaded neck.

Gwen moved her head away from the robot. She saw the door opening. Gwen quickly dropped the rod on the floor and ran out of the door.

This way, Gwen cleared the fourth stage too. Now, she had another hard stage ahead. The defense stage.

This is where most of the students lost their courage and motivation to move forward. Yeah, Ryan's case was different cause he had no choice but to turn back.

But those who did were already scared and not interested in defending against two robots for straight ten minutes. Then search around the whole hall for the right machine.

This was not the case with Ryan cause it was a compulsion for him. It is for every student but Ryan was being chased. In the same way, this was not the case with Gwen either.

Blocking against the robots' kicks and punches was something known was hand to hand combat. And what Gwen has been taught since her childhood was nothing else but martial arts.

Bored or not, interested or not, scared or not. She was already surrounded by these things for more than a decade now.

Gwen entered the room. The two robots came and went. Gwen did not attack the robots as they were told to defend.. but.. as if.

She got irritated by the second robot's second level of defense stage.

Gwen lifted her hand, chopped off the robot's hand. She then raised her kick to land a perfect kick in the robot's chest. It smashed against a wall and stopped working.

Her defense stats were displayed out of the robot, "Your overall defense rating is 9.5/10."

"Oh, I am flattered." she looked ahead, "I wonder if Ryan will be happy because I did well on the test?" She wondered.. "What am I even thinking?" she started feeling shy on her own.

Although the whole hall was empty, except for a few types of machinery, Gwenn still managed to feel embarrassed as if someone was watching her dance [she is really, really bad at dancing and hence hates dancing.. as long as it is for Ryan and in front of Ryan but wait.. why would Ryan make her dance in front of him? Whoa, is that the birth of some kind of dance fetish? I hope not].

It took Gwen some time to discover the arm wrestling stand. After she did, she did not back off a little. Haha, but she was having a hard time dealing with the robot's arm.

Of course, the robots were designed in such a way that they would not beat the students. They were programmed in order to lose but, after recording the opponent's best.

"Argh!" Ryan let out a small grunt when then turned into a big groan, "Fuck this!!" Ryan used all of his body weight to push the robot's arm down on the other side of the table.

"Fuck, I am using it!" Ryan shouted a reply back to Professor.

"You should not-" but Professor's words were cut in between when flames erupted out of Ryan's right hand.

Ryan thought using the blood fist will break the robot's hand and let him win but.. things were a little- too different this time.

"Ouch!" Ryan shouted as he tried pulling his hand back but the robot did not let Ryan go, "Fuck, leave me!"

"Deactivate blood fists," Professor ordered the System. Ryan's hand went back to normal.

Ryan could feel the burning pain going away, but his hand was still burnt. In that pain, he did not realize he was losing the game. His hand was being pushed down.. softly.

"What just happened? Ouch, it hurts, please heal my hand quickly!" Ryan ordered Professor.

"Let me start with your first question. You should understand your skill. It burns anything that comes in its contact while protecting your arms. That is, blood fists."

Professor started and continued, "If you wanted to, you should have activated the skill from the start. But using it after grabbing that metal thing's metallic hand, you were melting the metal by holding it in your hand, that is precisely the reason why you burnt your hand."

"Crap, now I do not think I can continue." Ryan gave up on the game by not putting any force in his hands and tried pushing the arm back.

"Your strength has been recorded," with that robotic voice, Ryan heard the sound of something unlocking, "Your total strength is 38." the robot told.

"Is that true?"

"Your current strength is 78. But I think because you gave up in the end.." Professor's voice faded, "You know."

"Argh! I want to do it again!" no use regretting now.

"You have unlocked the entrance to the exit. You have successfully completed your Trait Level Test. you are free to leave anytime."

Ryan looked past the arm, he saw a wide crack in the wall, big enough for a dog to pass through. Ryan pulled it open, 'Oh.. finally.. at least, I have completed the test. I wonder what my Trait level will be–?'

"Uh, students.. hello, I am Mitsuda Satoru,"

"Huh?" Ryan lifted his head. On the side, on the intercom, another man talked in English, translating Satoru.

"Well, a few students have completed the test, I can see." Satoru started, "Well done but.. I have a surprise for you, or maybe, you would not like this, I have another stage for you."

Many students let out groans of annoyance. They were totally not interested in doing whatever Satoru had for them.

"Please.. just do not let it be hard."

"To determine your final Trait level, we are adding a sixth stage. This will be, All Out With Your Trait, the sixth and, I promise, the final stage! Get going!" Satoru shouted through the intercom.
