If compared to a pull-up, it was the same as someone doing a rep of 20 while maintaining the same pace.

�Is he a machine?�

He knew Shirone�s mental endurance was high, but he didn�t think there would be this big of a difference.

And all of this was being analyzed by the instructors.

Ethella spoke out.

�Oho, Shirone sure is a talent.�

The weight behind her words was heavy since she was an influential figure who never really commented on anything.

Other instructors started joining in.

�Well, Mark isn�t too bad. He is still young, after all. His routine is being shaken up. From a minimum of 9.5 meters to a maximum of 11. He�s being inconsistent.�

It was safe to say that his mind was shaken.

�On the other hand, Shirone�s routine is consistent. Their speed is about the same, but the one with a higher chance of winning is Shirone.��

In the midst of the compliments, Thadd�s expression wasn�t so bright.

�Talent��

He glimpsed at Alpheas� face, worried about him� But his face showed nothing.

Suddenly, the students of Class 7 who did not participate in the exam approached Thadd.�

�Mr. Thadd, how is Shirone�s routine that stable? I�ve never seen anything like it.�

Leaping a set distance consistently did not seem like something a human could do.

Thadd couldn�t help but agree.

�That�s���

Amy spoke.

�He�s using Compulsion.�

Sharelle nodded in agreement.

�To be specific, he�s using Repetitive Compulsion. When you objectify yourself, your mind becomes more stable and develops a characteristic inertia. It�s impressive that he�s able to activate it at will. After all, it�s an advanced-level Spirit Zone technique not taught in Class 7.�

Since it was not something taught in Class 7, that meant Compulsion was a dangerous state of mind.

�He must have learned it before coming here. Since it helps one endure pain� Sometimes, becoming a machine is necessary��

�To take what we want.�

Keeping that last thought to herself, Amy watched Shirone continue to widen his lead.

It seemed as though he was flying towards her.

�You�d better come quickly� Since I won�t wait for you.�

Shirone�s stubbornness in keeping his lead annoyed Mark to no end. JrNovels.com
