Chapter 78 - Practical Test

At this point, Randy was outside the classroom while sitting on a side bench inside the school's stadium or more specifically practical training field.

After watching the entire battle between him and Li Weisheng a few more times after entering the academy and partaking in some classes, at this point, Randy could not help but think to himself.

'What the hell is wrong with my appearance? I know that I had used the ancestral regression to change my looks, but I look completely different from what I had imagined. Even my hair color looks different from both my parents' and even grand parents' hair color. And my eye color had also changed into something else. Wait, this is not the first time my appearance had changed drastically, so why am I reacting like this much?'

Randy deeply thought with a frown as he looked at his depicted appearance on the screen with discerning eyes.

Randy slowly relaxed his gaze as he carefully observed the depicted appearance on the screen. 

His hair was actually blood-red color with the same length as his original hair length, and his eyes were amber-colored which was slightly golden. 

However, his facial appearance was sharp and emotionless, and he was carrying this look of indifference on his face even when he was speaking normally.

Randy was actually shocked by this appearance that he assumed after using the ancestral regression. 

At the time, he simply grabbed at a random color as if grabbing at a random straw that stuck out in front of him, but who would have thought that it would lead to this kind of appearance. 

Although, in terms of his body size and everything, he looks almost the same, however, his facial features were slightly different with his eyebrows straightened almost like it was carved in perfection by some sculpture or something. 

Overall, this appearance of his was displaying a sense of domineeringness and overbearingness as if he were some god or demon due to his sharp looks. 

'Ahem, well, not that I look carefully at it, this is not too bad. And nobody should know who I am if I look like this.' 

Randy silently thought in admiration and satisfaction as he appraised his appearance on the screen.

While he was thinking of this, at this point, Emilia and her friends were coincidentally walking by as they saw him grinning from ear to ear to himself.

'Randy…? Why is he here? He usually never comes here and instead goes to the training center instead during this class… is he here to participate in the practical training today? But I've never seen him participate in these sparring sessions before, so I wonder why he came today…' 

Emilia silently thought to herself with a look of curiosity as she walked with her friends in a different direction.

At this point, one of her friends noticed the direction of her gaze and uncharacteristically tapped her shoulder diverting her attention. 

"Hey Emilia, let's go find somewhere to sit. The instructor would be coming soon."

"Ah, oh, okay. Let's do that." Emilia replied.

Saying that she turned away from Randy and followed her friends towards where the sits were located. 

…

A while later.

The instructor of their class came, and everyone instantly put their smart bracelet away afraid they would get scolded by this instructor. 

"Teacher Yang is looking so serious today."

"I know right, is it because of the upcoming university entrance exams that were right around the corner."

The student commented as they sat on their sits.

"All of you settle down!"

"Today we will be doing something different besides sparring and group combat. We will be testing your abilities for the final time as next week will be the beginning of your break and some of you might be going to the special practical training session so with that in mind…"

The instructor surnamed Yang said announced to them. 

And then he continued: "Alright! Without further ado, today's session will be split into two: The usual sparring session and the ability test or more precisely, the combat or attack power of your abilities. So keep in mind and use the full capabilities of your abilities when you attack later on." 

"First and foremost, you will be testing your ability's attack power by striking this specially designed dummy doll."

Saying so, he pointed at a group of dolls stationed on the field in the distance. 

"Those dolls can withstand a force of 500 pounds, which is equivalent to a B-rank physical strength. Then again, I highly doubt that any of you had that much physical strength. So those dolls should be enough to test your current combat strength overall."

"Just like before, those dolls can also display the force of your ability's attack power, whether it be physical or elemental attacks. Unless you have a mental ability that cannot be measured this method in which case you are excused from participating in this test. In the first place, those with those abilities were not supposed to come to this class, but I see some new faces today so that is why I am stating this fact once again. Alright, we got off on a sidetrack, as for the elemental attacks, the dolls will only determine the destructiveness of your attacks and then compare it to the force of normal physical damage."

"Alright! That is all! All of you get in line in front of the five dolls and take turns unleashing your attacks. I have some helpers today who would be helping to take the records for the other four dolls. Meanwhile, I will oversee the first doll."

Instructor Yang finally concluded with these words. 

Hearing the students all stood up from their sits and started walking towards the dolls in an orderly manner. 

No one was pushing the other since this instructor had the tendency of beating the students who misbehave during practical training under the guise that it was part of the practical training session.

One can say that most of the students were more tamed during the practical training session compared to other classes.. Randy was also among the students making their way towards their chosen doll.
