Chapter 53: Kye Renfield
Of course, although he believed in it, he still had a long way to go before he came anywhere near to achieving it.
The first test Nick wanted to try out was the speed test. Naturally, all of the tests would be combined at the end, but this was the one he was most eager to try out first due to his Speed Augmentation beast Armament.
He wanted to see just how much it boosted his speed, by comparing his normal speed to the speed he achieves after he activates the Beast Armament.
He stood before the entrance to the testing centre’s speed hall, with his chest tightening with adrenaline.
The hallway ended at a chamber, where up ahead, artificially generated imitations of various different, motionless environments — forested areas, rocky passes, narrow caverns, dry deserts, and so on — all fanned out like branches from the hub.
There were already various different Altered socialising in the main hall where all of these different environments met, with some also currently in the process of testing themselves in the environments.
As this was the public testing hall, people had to wait their turn to use each section, which led to this situation.
Nick’s footsteps barely made an echo in the huge hall as the chatter surrounding him penetrated everyone’s ears. The whole testing hall gave off an otherworldly sheen, as if he’d stepped into the heart of a mechanical utopia.
He tried to keep to himself, leaning against a wall beside the entrance after confirming his place in the queue, eyes scanning the various terrain sections ahead.
