But no matter what, the next day's test still arrived as promised.
But this time, it was not in the square.
Following the address on his phone, Clive found a gym.
Today, Linton was busy, so he did not come to accompany him. Instead, he let another north campus student handle his reception.
As soon as he arrived at the gym's entrance, he heard a voice, "Clive."
He looked up and saw seven or eight people really waiting for him.
"Are you here to pick me up?" Clive looked at the excited people and asked.
"Yes, junior brother Clive. I've seen your test yesterday. It seems that we really have a chance to get into the top five this time!"
"Just the top five?" Clive laughed.
"The top five is already very impressive," a girl said. "You should know that there are two geniuses from the north and three geniuses from the south."
"But don't worry, even if you don't succeed, we won't blame you."
After entering with him, Clive understood. "So there's more than one venue for the weightlifting test. Each department has their own testing point at the entrance, and they don't take the test together."
However, everyone had to take part in the next test, because there was only one test site.
That was to fight against military robots.
Robot technology had been greatly developed during the Great Cataclysm, especially in war.
Many fierce beasts relied on smell to judge their enemies, while robots could perfectly disguise themselves as dead objects.
Not only could they carry out various scouting activities, but they could also carry out assassinations.
Later, they developed a batch of teaching robots for training and simulated battles.
These robots' attacking movements were made through the martial arts + AI in the chip. Although there were some rigid problems, they also had one thing that they did not fear. The fighting style of exchanging injuries for injuries was often used by them.
This assessment was very similar to the entertainment show in his previous life where he tore the name tag.
Everyone had this tag on their body. They would not drop it if they ran normally, but they would still fall if they were torn apart by a strong force.
The standard for passing was to protect their name tags and pass through the stadium that was full of military robots.
There were no restrictions on movements and martial arts.
However, there were ten people participating in one round, and the time limit was three minutes.
Following the lead of the team, Clive finally arrived at the gymnasium.
He saw that the waiting area was divided into four sections, and each section had ten to twenty people.
On the next level, there were many senior students who were watching the show. They pointed at the freshmen on the field and said something to the people around them.
Clive, who had sharp eyes, immediately saw Nicole in the north wing.
But it seemed that the rich kids around her, who even had custom-made clothes, were not too harsh on her.
Although she was still as lonely as before, at least no one took the initiative to bully Nicole, making Clive feel more at ease.
After the teachers announced the start of the test, there was a huff, and the sound of footsteps could be heard.
Clive looked up and saw that it was this kid.
He rubbed his head carelessly and said, "Sorry, I'm late again." With that, he squeezed into the first row and came to Clive's side.
Then, the competition started with the people from the north courtyard.
Obviously, all the contestants from the first round wanted to end the competition as soon as possible.
After the whistle sounded, they rushed to the opposite side. They did not resist the robots' encirclement and mostly hid.
They would only attack when they had no other choice.
However, they had only run higher than the average area. Each of them was still held back by four to five robots.
It was obvious that the teachers had already thought of this. Therefore, each robot was equipped with footwork to increase its movement speed.
What was even more unexpected was that these robots seemed to be able to estimate the strength of their opponents.
Therefore, when facing strong opponents, they often adopted the strategy of delaying. When facing weaker opponents, they would use more than one to attack together and tear off their name tags.
In the end, they would gather everyone's strength and deal with the remaining few stronger students together.
After knowing that three minutes had passed, none of the contestants in the first round actually succeeded in clearing the stage.
Seeing this, a disdainful voice came from beside Clive, "You can't even deal with these wolf pups. I don't think the people from the north courtyard are any good either?"
"Let me do it. I'll send all these metal lumps flying with one punch."
"Big brother Shi is born with divine strength. That's only natural. How can those young masters compare to you, big brother Shi?" A student at the side echoed.
Hearing this, those who heard this also touched and laughed with pride.
Then, a group of north courtyard disciples came up.
One of them was Nicole.
Seeing this, Clive could not help but pay attention.
In the beginning, they still ran to the other side. But after they absorbed the experience, some people began to use some techniques to restrict the robots' movement.
The most eye-catching one was Nicole.
A thin layer of ice spread out from her body. All the robots that approached her started to slow down like actors in a movie.
This strange scene immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"White hair? Is she a mixed race?"
"How disgusting. There are actually mixed races that go to the same school like us."
Some people on the field had other thoughts. Some of them started to approach Nicole, trying to make use of her deceleration to bring convenience to their competition.
Nicole did not care about this. She even expanded it to allow more people to enjoy the benefits of deceleration.
In the end, eight out of ten people actually passed the assessment.
Nicole, who had passed the assessment, smiled at Clive.
Before Clive could respond, he heard a rough voice beside him say, "Is she smiling at me? It seems that she has seen through my extraordinariness."
People began to discuss Nicole.
Someone said, "Do you think this Nicole can make it into the top five?"
"I don't think so. There are still a lot of strong rookies in this assessment."
Clive, who had paused for a while, also gained some understanding of the popular contestants.
The first was a woman named Polly. It was said that she was also the granddaughter of an old soldier. In the east of the city, the dojo there was known as Wild Rose.
At the age of fifteen, she had become the king of the dojo there. She was also the elder sister of their middle school.
Another popular person was a 17-year-old youth named Isidore. Although his talent was not as good as these people's, he was one year older. It was said that he had already broken through to become a Martial Master.
He was the martial artist with the highest cultivation on the surface.
The other person was a true genius. His name was Julian. He entered Zhengyang First High School with his assessment results alone.
