Sam went back to the second floor. From what he saw, this floor was the most filled, because no matter which force the participants were from, they entered this floor and not many were interested in formations.
First-rate candidates including Sam only went into formation because they knew the importance of formations.
Many might look down on them, but if there was a proper formation, it would increase the controller's win rate by many levels and learning about formations would at least make them immune to attacks within the formation and let them escape even if they were unable to put it down on their own.
Of course, Sam himself being a formation master was one of the reasons for him to complete the first floor.
As for the second floor, it was mostly focused on one's aspects of combat such as speed, strength, defense, battle awareness and tracking of enemies over long distances.
All of this was crucial in open combat whether it was in the wilderness or in the city. After all, one could only do so much practice just for normal duels, real battles had no rules and restrictions, they would mostly end up with only one of them surviving.
Sam entered the room testing the speed and a familiar holographic screen appeared.
"Welcome.
In this room one's speed will be tested.
The test will be conducted for each participant individually and each test will last throughout the day.
In this test, you will be targeted by arrows that move endlessly behind your back. The speed will increase continuously and gradually in irregular time intervals and once you become stationary even for one second you will be caught.
The goal of this test is, You should avoid getting caught and minimize the number of times You are caught.
Even if you are caught, the test will continue until the specified time period is over. The test will last for half a day and you are not even allowed to stop in the middle while the test is still in progress and the time period is over.
The one who gets caught less will be the winner.
Test starts in 3, 2 1..”
Sam tried to digest all the information given to him and once the explanation from the screen was complete, an arrow flew towards him.
The room was completely empty and there was nowhere to hide, he was completely exposed and an arrow came towards him very quickly.
Sam moved to the side with ghostly footsteps and dodged.
The arrow misses him, but his momentum is well controlled and he takes a sharp turn after flying past Sam in such a precise way that he has no time to think.
The arrow shone brighter and brighter as the speed increased. Sam was able to overcome the speed with a Phantom move for five minutes, but was unable to do so afterwards and he had to use elemental fusion.
He underwent the fusion of wind elements and moved with the wind. Although his body was not as tangible as the wind, he could still achieve fusion until he could almost move like the wind.
The light around the arrow started getting brighter and Sam noticed that each time before his speed increased, the arrow shone brighter.
And his conjecture proved true when the arrow became less bright when it became slower. Sam also reduced his speed for a moment, but he continued to look at the arrows. The room was large and there were not even any obstacles, so he did not need to care too much about the room.
When he saw the arrow was getting slower, he tried to save his stamina, but suddenly as if sensing Sam's thoughts, the arrow shot out rapidly with a bright light.
It almost hit Sam and he just managed to dodge.
Now, Sam understood the difficulty. The arrow should be treated like a person, it can be witty and cunning and attack him when he is careless.
In this test speed is not only related to how fast a person but how a person can control and make his own body move according to circumstances.
However, speed is related to endurance. Sam needs to control his actions in such a way that he won't tire himself out. This was a test for the control of one's speed and time so that he could last longer.
Sam continued to dodge and move without giving the arrow a chance...
After half a day, Sam was almost out of count, if not for the energy cells that helped him 'trick' so that he could replenish his energy instantly, he would have already been caught at least once. But now he survives.
A holographic screen appeared showing the completion of his test.
He breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the floor.
Sam came out of the room and went into the next room.
This time he entered the power room. This room is about attacking.
There was a brick wall that kept sticking out somewhere one by one and the candidates had to break through that brick wall, with all kinds of attacks. For half a day, the brick walls will come one by one and each time a new brick wall comes it will be stronger and can receive more damage.
Next was the defense room, there would be lightning-type attacks that would attack the candidates. Between each attack, the candidate would be cured. In this room the testing is more about the maximum damage a person can receive than the accumulated damage.
Space awareness battle. Participants will be attacked blindly and randomly from all directions.
He had to survive as long as he could based on his instincts.
The last chamber tracks the long-range opponent.
In that case, the opponent was not strong, they would attack the candidate from such a great distance that one could not even guess the exact location even with high senses.
They had to track the location with continuous attacks and that was also when the opponent would move from time to time.
In this room, after the opponent is dropped, then the number of opponents will increase for the next round.
Sam spent two and a half days on the second floor and there was no confrontation.
As he was about to go to the third floor, he saw Arthur coming out of one of the rooms on the second floor and the two of them exchanged glances.
Arthur noticed that he was going to go to the next floor and his face became grim.
Because on the first floor, he noticed that Sam completed the formation with incredible speed and he even completed it before him.
He felt frustrated to lose to someone he considered under him.
At this moment, Arman also came and the three first-generation candidates were staring down. Arman looked at Sam with an attractive expression rather than a grim expression.
He also noticed Sam's abnormal speed in completing the formation and he was very interested in his abilities.
Sam glances at them one last time and walks around Arthur as he climbs the stairs.
"Do you know that guy? Why is he in our class?" Arthur asked Arman in a cold tone.
"Why do you assume that I will know him?"
"Because, you thirst for that battle, I won't believe you, you won't ask about him."
"Well, your assumptions aren't entirely true. I was interested in fighting him, but the one who made me more interested was a man named Nicholas, a descendant of the Duke of Orion. Apparently, his battle thirst is greater than mine and I think we can be friends.
As for this guy, I heard he's the most dangerous, at least that's what Moriya said."
"As I said, You won't just shut up until you know a lot of details, tell me what else you know about the man."
"Well, he is an expert in various professions and formations just happens to be one of his skills, but he is a rank 6 Scholar Artisan as well as a weapon craftsman and Tailor, having at least control over the three elements.
Can fight against many opponents, good at military tactics and training, great businessman, has a turnover of more than fifteen billion in eight months, After slaughtering a total of three hundred Beginners alone."
Arman kept talking about Sam and Arthur's information widening his eyes and he finally couldn't bear it and cut it off.
"I'm not asking you for nonsense, you can only say that you don't know if you don't know, you don't need that kind of nonsense. Do you think such a person exists? You got the guts? kidding me like that? Don't you dare act like this with me again. Get lost."
Arthur pushed her aside and went to another room. Arman shook his head and went to another room as well.
