Chapter 5: Memory and Courage -
10:21 AM - WOOHP
It wasn't long before Jerry came back to the lounge to pick me up. He led me back to the monitor room and seated me in the same place I was for the second test.
"This time, it's a little different," Jerry explained. "I'll show you a list of WOOHP gadgets, and then I'll name several gadgets that were on the list and a few that weren't. Your job is to tell what was and wasn't on the list."
"Gotcha," I replied, and Jerry set up the list. It looked like this:
JETPACK BACKPACK - TORNADO-BLAST HAIR DRYER - HAIR BAND BOOMERANG - MAGNETIC GO-GO BOOTS - LASER LIPSTICK - JUST-STICKY-ENOUGH GLOVES - HEAT-SENSOR SUNGLASSES
I scanned the list before it vanished. Then, Jerry spoke. "Just-sticky-enough gloves."
"Check," I responded.
"High-sensitivity electromagnetic bracelets?"
"Nope."
"Tornado-blast hair dryer?"
"I'd say so."
"Hair-band boomerang?"
"You bet."
"Earring communicator?"
"Absolutely not."
"Just-sticky-enough gloves?"
"You mentioned that one already. And yes, it's on the list."
"Remarkable, Leo. You got a perfect score on the memory test. Clover and Sam both mastered this. Come on, let's go to the next challenge."
For the next challenge, Jerry shoved me into a large room. It looked like some kind of banquet hall. Not knowing what else to do, I sat down at a nearby table.
My DS beeped, and I got it out and answered Jerry's call. "What's this test, Jerry?"
"You noticed a button on the wall just outside the room, right? Well, every time I press it, a special fighting robot enters the room. Defeat thirty robots to pass the test."
I smirked. This was going to be exciting. My DS displayed a map of the area. Jerry pressed the button a few times, and a few red dots- representing robots, I figured- appeared on the map.
Looking around, I quickly found the robots in question. They were pretty weak. The table I was at had been laid neatly, with silverware and all, so I took the fork and knife and used them to stab two robots.
The third robot fired laser blasts at me. I used the plate, which was polished and very reflective, to deflect the laser blasts back at the robot, causing it to destroy itself.
Jerry pressed the button several more times, and I quickly found myself surrounded by robots. I stood up on a table. All the robots aimed their laser blasters at me.
At just the right moment, I ducked, and the robots all shot each other. One robot was left over, and I promptly smacked it with a chair.
The fight went on and on. I did all kinds of things to dispatch the robots. Sometimes I hit them with silverware, sometimes I tricked them. Eventually, I hit my quota of thirty.
Jerry immediately pulled a lever, ending the test. He then let me out. I had done almost as well as Alex had done the last time she had tried the test, and Clover was good at it too, as Jerry explained.
