"Let's not think about it as for now I need to focus on the competition."
Vincent shifted his attention to the competition that was about to start.
A few minutes later, once instructor Baldwin has cleared the confusion of all the newly enlisted students by answering their questions, he said, "If you wish to participate in the competition, step forward and battle it out with the robot made for combat practice."
Immediately after he said those words, a lot of newly enlisted students went ahead and grabbed the weapons they preferred from the weapon rack before heading towards the center of the room to stand face to face with a robot.
They all wanted to participate as the reward for winning the competition was too great to be given up on without a fight.
"After the countdown of three, you may start to attack the robot until it's killed, or you're tired of fighting and want to take a rest," Baldwin announced the last conditions of the fight as he watched the students taking a battle stance in front of the combat robots.

The loud sound of the exclamation of the few students reached every corner of the room, signifying the start of the competition, and then a group of students made up of thirty people began to fight with the robots at the same time.
As the students proceed to fight against the robots, Damien, Emerald, and a few other seniors observed them from the spectator's sitting area with their eyes glistening in keen interest.
"One of them might become the future pillar of the Earth Federation," Emerald said with a look of anticipation on her face as she thought that the person who will outperform everyone might will be glorious in the future. I should befriend such a person, she thought, as she has not forgotten the real reason for why she was here.
She has joined the military academy to complete a clear goal set by her friend. Her father was the duke of the northern duchy of the Avalon Empire. The northern duchy ruled over the other region of the world of Lorena, a place with mostly barren land and a lot of demonic monsters and beasts that love to prey on humans. Her soon-to-be duchy was riddled with danger and filled with problems that made it hard for commoners to live in peace.
Her soon-to-be duchy was riddled with danger and filled with problems that made it hard for commoners to live in peace. At the same time, the nobles and royals of the Empire were waiting for the duke to fail to keep up with his responsibilities to plunder and loot the entire land under his name.
To stop that from happening, she came here to befriend and provide benefits to talented youngsters that will grow up to become powerhouses and one day repay her favor by helping her solve the crisis of the northern duchy of the Avalon Empire.
Hearing the words of his wife-to-be, Damien's lips curled into a smile, and he said, "Who knows, maybe someone in front of us might end up being hailed as the sixth great hero in the future."
Saying these words, he motioned Emerald to focus on the student that has stepped ahead to fight the robot. Emerald followed the direction of his finger and shifted her attention to a boy with a pretty face that has chosen iron gauntlets with sharp and small spike jutting out of the knuckles as his choice of weapon.
After Nevis stood a few steps away from the robot, he spoke loudly to his viewers, "Wish me luck!"
Although he couldn't awaken in his life as he is said to have no way of containing ability cells in his body and didn't have an ability, he was born with the innate racial trait to control energies easier than others, and his learning abilities were by far the strongest Vincent and the live stream viewers have ever seen in their life.
They felt that Nevis would surprise them today, one way or another, and they cheered him on by announcing that they will donate a few virtual coins as long as he manages to defeat a robot.
[Congratulations! Generous Viewer has donated 1000 Virtual Coins to your stream]
[I have donated 1000 virtual coins in hopes of you defeating the robot within a minute. I hope you won't let me down] Generous Viewer voice sounded through the hovering metallic cube recording Nevis's actions.
After a few moments, once the three-second countdown ended, Nevis charged forward, closing the distance between them in a single moment before throwing punches at the robots while utilizing the movement technique he had learned from Vincent to move in a zig-zag manner.
Bam! Bam! Bam!

The eyes of Damien and Emerald widened as they looked at Nevis with an expression of appreciation.
"What an amazing tactic! He is attacking the robots in a way that makes it hard for the combat robot that runs on calculation to react to."
"He is overpowering the robot made to deflect attacks by attacking irregularly. The robot can't finish the calculation required to dodge the upcoming attack before getting hit by a punch."
Emerald and Damien said at the same time.
"Looks like he is done," immediately after, Damien said.
As soon as he said those words, Nevis landed a powerful punch on the robot's gut that threw it flying backward.
The robot crashed on the ground and remained unmoving as if it has died.

"You defeated the robot in the shortest time until now," instructor Baldwin said with a smile forming on his gruff face.
"Oh yeah, baby! I won!" Nevis shouted in excitement before spewing his favorite game character line to look cool. "The incomprehensible fighting style is the deadliest."
