The Author's POV

Chapter 259

Inside of a large empty white room.

—Crash!

A loud crashing sound reverberated across the room. The source of the sound was a large metallic humanoid robot.

Opposite to the robot was a youth. The youth was fairly muscular and had thin short black hair that spiked upwards. Hair aside, the most striking feature of the youth were the terrifying scars that covered half of his face. Tracing from the top of his head to the bottom of his head, the youth looked absolutely terrifying.

This, coupled with his indifferent eyes, would've made anyone look at him in fear. He looked terrifying.

Coldly looking at the robot, the youth took a step back.

WHIIII—! WHIIII—!

Instantly two robotic arms appeared in the position he was previously standing. Once the two arms appeared, lifting his foot slightly, 876 twisted his torso 45 degrees and kicked one of the robots right in the head.

—Bam!

A dully metallic sound rang out.

—Thud.

Following this, one of the robots fell to the ground. Without wasting a single second, 876 thrust his sword downwards.

—Beep!

Once the sword made contact with the robot, a beeping sound came out of the robot. Ignoring it, 876 jumped on the robot and tensed his legs.

WHIIII—!

Upon making contact with the robot on the ground, 876 released the tension between his legs and jumped backward. The moment he jumped, a terrifying fist flew towards the area he was standing, barely missing him by an inch.

—Thud!

Softly landing on the arm of the robot, channeling his mana, and using his right leg, 876 kicked the last robot in the head.

Bam—!

Another dull sound rang out as a shockwave swept the area.

—Thud!

Falling alongside the robot, 876 softly landed on the ground. He was completely unharmed.

—Beep!

Repeating the same thing he did with the other robot, stabbing downwards, a beeping sound rang out. Having eliminated the last robot, sheathing his sword back, 876 calmly looked upwards. Towards a tinted glass window by the side of the room.

—Beep!

[Alright, good job 876, your test ends now. You're dismissed for now]

Joseph's voice rang out from the speakers around the room.

"..."

Without saying anything and nodding his head, 876 made his way towards the entrance of the room. Arriving before a thick metal door, 876's footsteps halted.

—Kshiii!

Slowly the doors opened and 876 left the room.
