The Gene Gamer

Chapter 9: Combat Assessment Test

He was in a dire situation, if he didn't use his inner ability he wouldn't be able to fight back at all. "But rethinking about the requirement it might be that combat genes aren't to be used. If that was what it was he was lucky, with his increased perception and Uncommon gene he was confident enough to secure a place within him in the top five. But if the reqiuirement meant all gene usage is forbidden that will be just plain sh*t."

"But the purpose is not to kill the trainees so genes other than combat abilities is supposed to be not restricted according to the requirement." he thought in his mind.

He calmed himself down forcefully even if he's without a gene he should at least be supposed to use his powerful sense not using his gene. The test was simple, people would fight with the training robots first then the other trainees in order to ensure a precise result.

In the robot fight one could use their genes but in the second fight with the other trainees they couldn't use their genes.This rule might've been created in the first place for them in order to not lose talents like them who had superior genes from birth. It was more likely that the other groups had no such rule as this and may just be a bloody mess of young people killing each other.

People that got chosen to fight with the training robots would end up with bruises all over their body when they cam out and in less than a minute. There were no exception among them. But the scores that were displayed when they came out differentiated. Some had high scores while some even had none. Currrently three was the highest score and it was displayed by a person that had superior transformation type inner gene.

That person got an ability to transform into a big blue serpent seen by him in the room that they had awakened their genes. He didn't know anything except that as he didn't see him transforming into anything.

The person also got bruises but it was evidently much more than what others had. His turn came right after three person's after the top score, he opened the button and the door opened. Inside wasn't something he was expecting at all. Inside was a white room with no decorations.

The only thing that stood out from the rest was a training dummy made of metal that had the figure of a human and the occasional blood that was splattered on the wall and the ground. On the dummy there was a shallow mark of teeth that he wouldn't have been able to see it without his increased perception.

Carefully he took out his gun when on the face a number of three appeared. He didn't know what the number represented but when he saw it it go down by one to two he knew it was counting the time. Because his body was weak he could only move a few steps at the side before the countdown turned to zero and the dummy lunged at him.

Fortunately the dummy wasn't so fast as to leave him with no time to react so with his gun he pulled the trigger at the precise direction of the dummy but the bullet just bounced off the dummy's head without making any scratches. He didn't got disappointed though anyone would've been able to do this much but what if he repeatedly shot it at the exact spot again and again.

It's bound to make the dummy have a dent in it. He repeatedly pulled the trigger of the handgun or else he would just be dead tired shooting with the riffle. Maybe even before the dummy came to him he would be lying on the ground breathing hard.

After pulling the trigger one more time he rolled away and again started shooting again. Anyone other than him wouldn't have been able to have this rate of precicision, without his ability he would be helpless about the robot.

This all happened in three seconds, his trained fingers that were adept at playing games showed its worth at this point as he pulled the trigger very quickly. He didn't know how much he pulled the trigger but it was at least seven times and finally the robot's head had a dent formed in it.

This dent was almost equal to the teeth mark's depth but still both of them were very shallow. This meant that whoever that had made such teeth mark had power equal to seven gunshots. But he didn't stop at this rolling once again after seeing the dummy changing his direction, he pulled the trigger exactly three time in one and a half second.

He knew the robot wouldn't evade it since it wouldn't make any damage to him and he had calculated the running motion. This robot also seemed to be a beginner's training dummy so it wouldn't make moves such as dodging. Right now his fingers were tired so bad that he couldn't even move them a bit, his arm muscles were also tired since it was also connected to the finger's movement.

Right after seeing a much more deeper dent forming on the head with it disfiguring the dummy's head he immediately said "I surrender". It seemed that once a dent was formed it was easier to make it deeper but noone would have the chance to attack on the same spot from the beginners.

He wasn't some masochist, even though he knew getting a high scare would do him good he was lazy and he also didn't know how much the score would help him, it wasn't worth his comfort.

As if sensing that he ahd surrendered the robot stopped all of its motion completely and a number of ofur appeared on its head but this time, the head was disfigured so a part of the four has been missing.

This time the number didn't decrease so it might be his score, relieved he got out of the door that had been opened automatically. Outside when he checked his score above the door, it was still the number four. That meant now he was the top scorer but he knew that Garen and Farold would definitely get better.

But right now he was on his lowest comabt ability if described. People with percetion related abilities would be more powerful the more genes they had, after all combined with the perception people would be able to hit or do something accurately.

But people were surprised by his body which had no injuries and clothes whick hadn't been torn. Yet he still got such a high score they were confused those people that got hurt yet got low scores felt injustice but dare not complain.

When the high score of Garen and Farold both getting the perfect five score it wasn't a surprise to him. But the difference between the two was obvious while Garen had injuries all over his body and took a long time, Farold only got some small wounds and took a shorter time to complete.

The more obvious difference was that when Garen had come out there was signs of melting on the metal dummy but it wasn't much of an injury but when Farold come out the entire dummy was destroyed completely.

The room was sound-proof so he dind't know what happened. For Garen it only took him ten seconds to thrash the dummy so much that it had roke into pieces. After awakening his gene, Farold was very different not only having a majestic aura that instilled fear on them his combat power was also astonishing.
