Chapter 003: The first test.

Sato and Kim came slowly in Martial Club of Tokyo, along with some others, since all were entered one by one. A room with wooden floor is revealed in front of all who entered, and following what the man with the microphone said, when entered, all went through the door on the right. Sato and Kim entered the door and were in a large hall, also with wood floors, where there was a man standing there in front and some people already sitting on the floor.
- Hey, must to be him who will explain the first test, must not? - Said Kim.
- Probably ... man, but I can not stop thinking about Hikoru ... this guy really lets me angry! - Sato said.
Sato and Kim sat down, one in the side of other. The minutes were passing slowly and those who were on the street, entering the great hall until everyone had been seated. The hall was well filled. So, the man who was there in front, began to speak.
- Very good! - Began the man. - All of you are here to know everything about the first test to be admitted to the Martial Club of Tokyo! First, I must tell you that the first test will be done today!
- Wow! And I was thinking about training a little for the test ... - Kim whispered to Sato.
- Yes ... I think this is not good ... if it is one of those hard tests that we have seen ... - Sato whispered. - Our chance to pass is simply zero!
The man continued talking.
- I think you should have been informed that these tests are done to see the level of supernatural power! So they may not be easy! - Said the man. - Well, no more chatter! Let´s talk about what the first test will really be!
The hearts of Sato and Kim began to beat very fast, while Sato was still very concerned with Hikoru.
"Damn ... there are many people here, it is not possible to see if Hikoru came here today! "Sato thought, looking around the room at people.
The man continued to talk.
- The first test will be based on strength! - Said the man.
- Man, but that shit! That will be bad! - Kim whispered. - It must be that type of test that we saw on the site ...
- Yes, It should probably be something of that kind... - Sato whispered.
- There will be a machine ... - Said the man. - On which you should give a punch. This punch should be given with the maximum strength you have! Naturally there will be a measure of force to calculate the supernatural power of each! In honor of the owner of our Martial Club, the Master Herzuz, the unit of measure will be Herzuz, through which each Herzuz represents one hundred kilos. In other words, if the punch of a person makes one Herzuz in the machine, it will mean that the pressure of the hit was a hundred kilos!
A big murmur began to occupy whole the room.
- What is this guy saying? It is impossible to do this! - Said Kim.
- Heh. .. I said, it will be almost impossible that we can enter the Martial Club of Tokyo, Kim ... - Sato said.
- Quiet, please! - Said the man. - SILENCE!
The murmurs which occupied the room, finally ceased.
- Pay attention ... I do not want anyone to get scared here! - Said the man. - If a person has a considerable supernatural power in his body, the mark of one Herzuz is simply ridiculous ... that is why we set a minimum threshold that the candidate must to reach ... it is the mark of ten Herzuz, which is equivalent to one thousand kilos!
Again, a great murmur, even more than the former took over the whole room.
- SILENCE, PLEASE !!!!! - Shouted the man.
The murmurs slowly ceased.
- Like I said, a person with supernatural power will need doing only a little effort to reach the mark of ten Herzuz! - Said the man. – If this person does not reach this mark, thei it means that this person will not be able to enter in the Martial Club of Tokyo!
The whole room was now in complete silence.
- Okay ... all those can make ten Herzuz will be able to do the second test, which of course is more difficult than the first ... - Said the man. - The first test will be done in three hours, right here in this hall. Now, may go ...
- Wait a minute! - Said a boy who has raised.
- Hey, Kim, look at there! - Sato said, pointing to the boy that was raised.
- It's Hikoru! - Said Kim.
- Listen ... - Hikoru started. – Is there any way to know if we have some supernatural energy, or we will have to do the test to find out it?
- Oh, yes! I forgot that detail ... When you are doing the test, there will be an instructor that will increase your concentration ... He will almost hypnotized you, and this way, your supernatural power will increase and you will be able to launch a powerful punch. This is necessary because, I believe that you have not received any training to control your supernatural power. Naturally, all this occurs only if the person has some supernatural power, even if it is still sleeping ... And then I answered your question? - Said the man.
Hikoru sat again, without saying anything.
- Very good! If none else has something to ask, can get out of the room ... See you in three hours! - Said the man.
People were getting out of the room and the Martial Club of Tokyo. Sato and Kim left, but Sato stopped exactly at the entrance.
- What, Sato? - Kim asked.
- I want to talk to Hikoru! - Sato said.
- Listen, Sato! This test will not be easy! - Said Kim. - You can not get into fights with this guy now, or you will not pass this test!
- I do not want to fight against him, Kim, just want to talk! - Sato said.
They were stopped at the door a few minutes, until Hikoru rose quickly and stumbles on the shoulder of Sato.
- Hey, Hikoru! - Sato said.
- Sato ... What are you doing here, kid? - Hikoru said. – By chance, are not you following me, are you?
- No! I came here because I will participate in the admission test too! - Sato said.
Hikoru was looking for Sato and Kim.
- Hahahahahaha! - Hikoru laughed. - You are ridiculous! Think you will get to be approved? Excuse me!
Sato started to feel a great anger within him.
- At least I´ve defeated you in that fight, remember? - Sato said.
Hikoru did face serious.
- If we had not been stopped, I would destroy your face, you idiot! - Hikoru said. - But no matter! This will be a good situation for us resolve what was lacking on that day! I will make this test much better than you, you asshole!
So Hikoru turned the back on both boys and going out quickly.
- Do not worry about him, Sato! - Said Kim. - You only have to concentrate to get pass this test!
- Yeah, I know, Kim ... - Sato said. - I need forgetting him if I want to have chances to be approved ... but this thing called supernatural power ... is very strange ...
- Let´s search about this on their site ... - Said Kim.
- Good idea! - Sato said. - But this time you´d better be at my house ... it is more distant and we do not have much time, huh?
- Okay, okay ... - Said Kim.
So the two boys were walking quickly to the house of Sato. After some minutes, they came and went straight to the computer.
- Man, I'm very anxious, I'm afraid that the instructor will do with us ... - Said Kim.
- Oh, I am not worried about it ... - Sato said, pulling on the computer. – I am more worried if he will find some kind of supernatural power within me!
Sato quickly entered the site of the Martial Club of Tokyo, clicked where was written "The Supernatural Energy." Another page has opened.
"Supernatural energy: the energy which there is within a few humans and becomes possible that the human capacity increase through incomparable way! Many humans who have no such power can gain it through a special training, but those who already have such power, even when dormant, can wake it much more easily than those who have none! The Martial Club of Tokyo only accept those who have a considerable supernatural power! To wake it, the easiest method is the concentration, but this kind of concentration, should be made initially with the help of someone who already controls perfectly the supernatural power.
To direct it to any part of the body, is required even greater concentration, through which, with the mental control, you can focus your energy to any member of the body. A greater member as the leg, for example, is more difficult because the area to send the energy is bigger, since a wrist, for the area is smaller, is easier ... "
The explanation continues, but Sato closed the page, watching the time on the computer.
- Man, we take several minutes to get there, it's best we go soon ... - Sato said.
- Okay! - Said Kim.
Sato and Kim left the house quickly, and the mother of Sato, who was in the kitchen, did not perceive that they have come and not that they have just went out.
The boys were walking quickly, almost running.
- Damn ... I saw a little down the page, showing what a person who controls supernatural power can do ... - Said Kim. - Breaking stones, destroy mountains, blow things ... man, that would be amazing!
- Really ... but do not encourage yourself, Kim ... probably we have nothing like that ... or we would already have had any sign, do not you think? - Sato said.
- Yeah, I think so ... - Said Kim.
After almost forty minutes, the two arrived on the streets of Martial Club of Tokyo and saw that people were entering.
- It seems that we arrived in time, right? - Said Kim.
- It seems so ... - Sato said.
Sato and Kim rapidly entered the Martial Club of Tokyo and went to the door on the right, entering the great hall, where there were some people and also the punch machine, at the end of the room, at the side the man who has explained the test and at side of other man, a little lower.
- That must to be the instructor, must not? - Kim said, pointing to the lowest.
- Yes, yes he should be ... - Sato said.
The minutes were passing it, and people were coming and sitting, until all the candidates were already in the hall. The man began to advance in front of everyone.
- Very good! Attention everyone, in alphabetical order, we will start the test ... - Said the man, holding a paper in hand. - Anika Brux.
A blonde girl stood up and went in front of the punches machine.
- Man, she will never get be approved ... - Said Kim.
The instructor went next to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
- Okay ... well ... - Said the instructor. - Go!
The girl launched the punch and scored 13 Herzuz. All of the room opens their eyes.
- Damn! Thousand and three hundred kilos?? - Kim is amazed.
- In. .. Incredible ... - Sato said, apparently without words as well.
The minutes were passing, and several people had been eliminated, since marked less than 10 Herzuz. Until the turn of Hikoru came. He got up and went to the punch machine.
- Hah! I just want to see how many he marks ... - Said Kim.
Sato and Kim were very attentive. The instructor went next him.
- Go! - Said the instructor.
Hikoru launched a strong punch and scored 20 Herzuz. Sato and Kim goggle the eyes.
- Wow! - Sato and Kim exclaim. - Two thousand kilos ?!?!?!
Hikoru is left smiling and sat where the classified were sitting.
- It was the biggest until now! - Said Kim.
Two more candidates have been called (both were eliminated) and then the man called Kim.
- Good luck, man! - Sato said.
- Thanks, Kim said, very nervous.
Kim went to front of the punch machine and the instructor went to his side.
- Concentrate, close your eyes ... - Said the instructor.
Kim began to feel as if his body was burning inside.
- Go! - Said the instructor.
Kim, with a very fast speed, hit the punch machine, which marked 16 Herzuz.
- Congratulations, you are classified for the second test ... - Said the man who would call the names.
Kim, not knowing what had happened right, went to sit with the other classified. Hikoru looked fixedly at Kim.
The minutes were passing and only three were approved until the turn of Sato.
- Akira Sato! - Called the man.
Sato got up very nervous and went to the punch machine.
"Kim and Hikoru have been approved ... this means that they have supernatural power ... damn, will I have too? "Sato thought, putting himself in front of the machine.
The instructor was at his side.
- Concentrate, close your eyes ... - Said the instructor.
Slowly, Sato felt as if he was out of this world and felt something strange inside himself.
- Go! - Said the instructor.
Sato opened his eyes and felt as if his whole body was in flames, then gave a little jump and punched strongly the machine. A number were marked and all of the room, even Hikoru, goggle their eyes.
