Chapter 736 I told you I have good endurance
How could Samuel have guessed that the guy inside, who seemed to be only a C-level, would actually be the strongest boss around?
He figured it was pretty simple: the kid inside was clearly hiding his strength.
Coming all the way here for a test and still hiding his abilities, what was that about?
Samuel was determined to see just how much strength this young man was concealing.
Pretending to be weak in his presence, just how strong was this formidable person?
Shouldn't he teach him a lesson?
Walker didn't stop him, watching as Samuel entered the testing room.
The testing room itself was about 2000 square feet, plenty of space for a physical showdown.
William was in the middle of an intense test session when suddenly someone walked in.
"Young man, I hear you're fast? Shall we test that?" Samuel smiled and said, "Let me see how fast you really are!"
William stared at him and responded, "Who said I was fast? I'm more about endurance!"
"..." Samuel's face darkened as he said, "Is that what I meant?"
"What else?" William frowned.
"I mean... agile moves!" Samuel clenched his fist, barely holding back from throwing a punch right then and there.
"Ha!" William laughed, "I see, how do you want to test it?"
Samuel eyed William and said, "I attack, you dodge!"
"What if I don't dodge?" asked William.
Samuel's expression turned cold as he replied, "Then you might die! If you take a hit from me, at the very least you'll be severely injured or crippled! So don't think about hiding your strength!"
"Hisss—" William's eyes narrowed slightly, realizing he needed some acting skills to appear as a novice Soulmancer.
He didn't want to be too famous, nor did he want to exert too much effort,he just wanted to participate in everyday society in an ordinary way.
It was that simple.
His strength couldn't be too strong, but it couldn't be too weak either,it had to be just right.
It would be ideal for others to bring him along when fighting mutant monsters,he could just coast along, watching, which would be quite delightful!
Samuel thought William was intimidated by him and chuckled lightly, saying, "Don't worry, as long as you show your true skills, I won't really hurt you! But if you keep hiding your strength in front of me... hmph!"
"Let's try!" William stretched a bit and beckoned Samuel with a flick of his finger.
"Kid! I want to see how long you can keep running today!" Samuel was somewhat frustrated; this kid's speed was ridiculously fast. If he hadn't seen the test data himself, he would never believe that the person in front of him was a C-
class superhuman.
Have you ever seen an S-class powerhouse unable to catch up with a C-class esper?
Even with superpowers, this was too much.
Samuel thought that for a C-class superhuman to maintain this speed, the energy consumption must be enormous. Although the superpower allowed for great speed, it surely couldn't last for too long.
"What do you care!" William retorted, "Catch me first, then talk!"
"Hey! You cheeky kid, I don't believe you can keep this up for long!" Samuel was also getting heated up, especially now under surveillance. Walker and Wes were watching from outside.
If he couldn't catch a C-class superhuman, what would that say about him as the highest officer of the base? Should he step down and let someone more competent take over?
"Try me!"William chuckled, "I told you, I have good endurance!"
Samuel simply couldn't believe in this so-called endurance!
The two continued their chase around the room.
In such a small room, they managed to run for over an hour.
Samuel was always just about to catch William, but always just a bit short, which was infuriating him to the point of exploding.
"No way! Is this what Samuel called a test?" Walker was so bored he was almost falling asleep. Damn, they're just playing tag in there!
He said this forgetting his mic was still on, and both Samuel and William heard him.
Samuel couldn't help but blush with embarrassment. Chasing a C-class superhuman for over an hour without even touching a hair was indeed quite humiliating.
"Hey! Kid, let's stop for a moment!"
"Why stop? Are you running out of stamina? I told you I have good endurance. If you can't keep up, just say 'I give up.'"
"Damn it!"
Samuel cursed and sped up again, but no matter how fast he was, William was faster, and he still couldn't touch him.
...
Two hours later.
Wes finally couldn't help but say, "Officer Samuel, why don't you just let him stand still, and then you attack him to end this? How much longer are you going to run around in there?"
He knew very well that it was completely impossible for Samuel to exhaust William's stamina.
In the end, it would only be Samuel who couldn't keep up. As an S-class fighter, he was strong, but were they really going to watch William and Samuel run around the testing room for half a month?
