Chapter 226: Three In One day?
"Did he come here from some sort of meeting? Why's he dressed like that?"
"What did I tell you? This is a waste of time for him. Everyone knows how strong he is, so I'm sure he is just here to get his ranking done with so he can move on. He doesn't need to take this seriously."
"But even though he doesn't need to take this seriously. Isn't this too much? I feel like he's insulting everyone here wearing something like that."
The people in the room were not happy that Mark was not taking the test seriously at all.
Even though they knew that Mark was strong, every single one of them here worked extremely hard to improve so that they would come here to test themselves at their very best, and most of them were nervous that they would not get a good ranking or they would not be able to pass the test as well as they hoped to.
For Mark to just walk in there like he owned the place while wearing formal slacks was too much for them!
But the people there had no idea what they were about to bear witness to.
Mark walked to the center of the room before he looked up at the examiner's booth and he saw that Fiona was standing there with her fan covering her face. When their eyes met, Fiona huffed and turned away from him and Mark could almost hear the pout on her face from the way that she was moving.
"Mark Vanitas. Superhuman moniker: GHOST. That is you, right?"
A man suddenly appeared from nowhere and Mark blinked as he saw the man standing in front of him. Mark furrowed his brow as he wondered how the heck the man was able to get in front of him that quickly without him noticing.
...
Name: Alec Ben
Race: Human
Title: The Phantom
Rank: EPIC Rank I
Potential: S
Description: A superhuman blessed by Hermes, the god of speed. He possesses the greatest potential for speed amongst all those blessed by Hermes and he can move at speeds surpassing the speed of sound easily. At full speed, he is capable of reaching and exceeding MACH 5.
His innate blessing from Hermes prevents him from experiencing sonic booms, so his movement is unnoticeable and more sudden than expected. He is someone who holds the law above everything else, so he looks at everyone equally, regardless of who they are.
Affiliation: Lawful Good.
...
Mark immediately read through Alec's stats and he was not surprised that Alec was an undefined as well. It was expected since Alec could move at a speed that even Mark could barely notice. But MACH 5 was a crazy amount of speed. And the fact that he had a blessing that prevented him from experiencing Sonic Booms only made it better!
That means that he only had to worry about the air pressure and if he can deal with that then he could potentially move at supersonic speed perpetually! Crazy!
"I asked you a question. Are you Mark Vanitas?"
Alec suddenly spoke up when Mark did not answer his initial question and Mark nodded while putting his hands on his waist.
"Yeah, that's me. Mark Vanitas."
Alec looked back at his notepad and checked something off before looking back at Mark. He glanced at Mark from head to toe and he frowned.
"You want to go in looking like that? Do you wish to get changed first?"
"No need. This won't take long."
"You seem confident."
"Hmm."
Mark hummed in response to the question and Alec just shrugged as he finished writing on his pad. Once he was done, he dropped his hand and spoke directly to Mark.
"My name is Alec Ben. I'm an undefined rank superhuman and the head of the superhuman registration division of the superhuman alliance. I was the one that sent those two to you to 'remind' you about your assessment. I hope they did not cause you too much trouble."
Alec pointed at Tina and Turner and Turner sighed tiredly while Tina waved at Mark happily with a wide smile on her face. Mark sighed as well before he just shrugged. He was not going to say too much about how annoying Tina was since he was sure that Alec must already know something about that. That was not his problem to deal with.
"They're alright, I guess."
Alec nodded before he asked if anyone explained the basics of the assessment to him. Mark told him that they did not and Alec nodded again before he started explaining.
"This room has been augmented using the blessing of one of the strongest undefined superhumans in the American Federation. When it is activated, you will be transported to an alternate world. There, you will face off against multiple monsters that are summoned using that superhuman's blessing. The strength and number will steadily increase until you can no longer go on.
The moment you throw in the towel, the test will end and your score will be calculated. Do you understand?"
Mark tilted his head from side to side. The rules seemed pretty simple.
"Is there a starting benchmark based on perceived strength or do we all have to start from the same number of monsters?"
Alec answered calmly.
"There is a set benchmark that everyone starts with –"
"Do we really need to do something like that for someone like this?"
Another voice suddenly spoke up from the examiner's booth and everyone immediately began to murmur in shock as they heard that voice.
"It's her!"
"I know that voice! She actually came to see GHOST's assessment!?"
"What the heck is going on here!? Three members of the SOVEREIGN at the same time for one person!?"
Mark looked up and he saw a woman leaning over the railing from up in the examiner's booth. She jumped over the railing and landed on the ground in a perfectly straight pose without even making a sound. She gave Mark a coy smile from under her red-hot hair as she noticed his yes trailing down to her breast before coming back to her eyes.
She was wearing a pair of ripped blue jeans and a black long-sleeve off-shoulder crop top that revealed her toned stomach. She had a modest bust that held up the crop top without losing out to gravity at all and there wasn't a single man there who didn't follow the jiggle of her boobs when she landed on the ground!
Her figure was a perfect eight and if not for the amount of raw power that was radiating off her, Mark would have thought that she was a model or something.
There was no doubt about it; this woman was one of the undefined as well. What the hell is going on in this place? What are the chances that I would meet three of the undefined on the same day?
