Chapter 58: Results are out!
Still, after he got moving again, the environment proved to be just like the others, just a different aesthetic.
It couldn’t really hinder his movement much apart from the occasional scorched cars blocking the road, burning fire blocking his path, or falling debris causing him to swerve.
Even with all this, there wasn’t really much to hinder him in the place, which was probably the most flawed part of these speed tests.
While they did their best to simulate the environments, which was already a very good job, they couldn’t simulate the unlikely or unpredictable scenarios of outside interference.
Like the previous four levels for example; sure while the environments themselves were able to hinder him and slow him down due to their obstacles, there wasn’t really the same sense of danger one would be feeling in this type of situation in a real chase in the Beast Domain.
There was also no chance of being ambushed by another beast while on the run, since they couldn’t be simulated either, which only really left little options for what could push people and challenged them in these tests.
In the end, they were just that — tests.
No matter how hard people might try to make them as real as possible, they could still never compare to the same type of situation occurring in the real world.
After making his way through the whole last level, Nick finally stepped through the exit of the testing chamber with an unsure expression on his face.
’This all felt too... easy.’
The same feeling at the bit of his stomach still haunted him, stressing him out. It just didn’t make sense for him to be so much faster than he anticipated.
