Yamih, Carter, Chad and the girls were shocked by this revelation. They'd never even considered the thought that Luke didn't have a Skill nor where he even came across. They just assumed that he must have had an accident and ended up on the Endless Barren. Other participants were also shocked by this because people who don't have a Skill are extremely rare yet one of them was mingled among them. Seeing that Luke didn't have a Skill, these participants started whispering ill things about him, not knowing that Luke could actually hear them loud and clear. He shook his head and went to the large dumbbell, touched it then lifted it up with both hands. ‘It's heavy!’ Luke exclaimed inwardly. What he didn't know was that this dumbbell could perfectly measure one's strength by simply lifting it up. <What rank are you?> the android asked which Luke didn't expect to happen but still answered honestly. “I'm a 3 Star Trinity Master.” <I see, your strength is Excellent, please move on to the next test.> said the android in a polite tone. “Mhm,” Luke nodded and went to the running wheel, meanwhile, everyone was aghast by the android’s sudden change of tone. … Luke got on the running wheel and started running and scored himself another Excellent score. By this time, the other androids were starting to keep tabs on him. Luke continued to shock everyone as he scored Excellent scores one after another, the Sight, Smell and Hearing tests were all passed Excellently so, shocking even the emotionless androids. <Are you Human?> one of the androids couldn't help but ask. “No, I'm a Demi-Human.” <I see, thank you for your cooperation with our tests and we'll definitely call you!> “I live with Yamih, if you want to talk to me then call him.” said Luke as he pointed at Yamih with his thumb behind him. … “Have you heard, Moloson is planning on rebuilding the entire District so he wants to evacuate everyone into other Districts temporarily. Instead of giving me more funds to deal with the smugglers and human traffickers, he wants to upgrade infrastructure instead, tch!” Two people were seated down and playing chess, one was a young looking man with digital-like eyes, fair skin, handsome, very handsome with a deadpan expression. Opposite him was an old man with a large build and broad shoulders, the tank top he wore revealed his defined muscles. He had long grey hair and a scruffy grey beard, his eyes though demanded respect to anyone they lay upon and it was the old man who'd just spoken. “If you're not satisfied with the way Moloson does things then why not speak to Solomon, he's a Regional Manager after all.” said the deadpan young man as he moved a chess piece. The old man's face turned bright red as he slammed away all the chess pieces, ruining the game. “Arl, we both know that that man is worse than his little brother. I'll definitely lose my life if I go to him or is it that you too are now conspiring against me like them?” said the old man with a cold glint. Arl, who had gone to pick up the chess pieces came back with them and started placing them on the chess board exactly as they were before the game was ruined. “We're both 5 Star Quad Masters without a chance of advancing to the next rank. Even if we were to go into deep meditation, absorbing Mana everyday, our lifespans would probably end before we advanced. So, instead of worrying about this and that, why not just enjoy our remaining years in peace and stop thinking about everything else. Check.” “Arl, we're talking about me here, Vikus Oreleo, Chief Of Police. I have more than five hundred thousand lives on my shoulders whom I pledged to protect and serve. If I were to become nonchalant like you then District 89 would probably collapse and countless lives would be lost.
