Chapter 135: 132. Speed Tester
"I have a passive skill. Whenever I get injured, I'll heal in exchange for my spirit energy." Dexter replied with a tranquil expression and Kabal's brows raised as he heard that.
"Hmm... That... Makes sense." He said as he considered how possible it was. He sighed and then he allowed Dexter to go.
'He probably knows about supernatural creatures, but what's my business. If he tries any shady business with me I'll just kill him.' Dexter thought as he made his way back to the room.
...
"So? What did he ask about?" Tracy asked immediately he entered the room.
"I think he suspected that I was not a human. But I've taken care of it." Dexter said as he opened the box.
"What are these?" Lily asked and Collins stretched his hand to take one of the watches.
"No. It's ours." Dexter said and Collins became down.
Dexter handed one watch to each of them; Tracy, Hannah, Kila, and Jude who seemed down for some reason.
"What does this do?" Kila asked as she looked at the ordinary silver watches.
"It's supposed to alert us when there's a monster attack that needs us." Dexter explained and they then put it on.
"I don't like being sitting one place. I'm strong, I want to fight. I'm not levelling up as I'm here." Lily complained and then Dexter patted her head.
"You'll get into fighting real soon. We're going to leave soon anyway." Dexter said and Lily sighed as she slumped on the bed.
"Hey, Hannah. Come with me." Dexter said and he stretched his hand to help her up.
They both left the room and then out of the building.
"I know we haven't had a lot of time to ourselves, we might be called in a few hours or so. Until then, wanna walk with me?" Dexter said with a warm, sincere smile as he gazed at her beautiful, golden-coloured eyes.
"Yes, yes, I'd like that." Hannah said with a smile as she locked her arm with his.
They strolled around the camp, checking out various facilities.
"Hey, there's a speed testing machine, wanna give it a go?" Hannah asked excitedly as they reached a gym.
Dexter was about to decline when the instructor walked over.
"Give it a try pretty boy, your girlfriend wanna see you on it. It's good to know your limits also." The instructor smirked.
He had a muscular body and he wore nothing but a white singlet and sweat pants.
Dexter sighed and Hannah clapped excitedly.
The instructor smiled at the young couple and put a cigarette in his mouth before lighting it.
"Who's that guy?"
"He looks new."
"The speed tester? I think those super soldiers have a high record of 470 kilometers per hour."
"He's not a super soldier. Could be between 80 to 290 kilometres per hour."
All the people at the gym gathered around to see Dexter's limit and then Dexter sighed.
'I hate crowds. Why is my life like this?' Dexter sighed as he doesn't know how he always manages to gather attention to himself.
The machine in front him was like a normal thread mill but it looked to made of some special type of metal.
Dexter looked back to see the instructor with a towel around his neck and he then asked;
"Are sure this thing can measure speed? I've levelled up a lot." Dexter said and the instructor laughed, followed by everyone there.
"You don't need to worry, most of us are already above level 17, some are level 20." The instructor said and Dexter's brows raised as he smiled and got on the thread mill.
"So this is called a velocity tester. It measures in kilometre per hour, so yeah." The instructor tapped the on button beside it and the moment it started moving, Dexter began to walk in it.
He dismissed his coat as the machine got faster and soon he was already sprinting at 40km per hour.
"Take off your shirt, it'll get wet in sweat." The instructor said and Dexter turned to him before the shirt vanished and then a few ladies in the gym gasped as they saw Dexter's toned body and muscles.
"Seems like you hit the gym a lot..." The instructor kept on talking and Dexter pretended that he was struggling to keep up with the machine.
"And what do you think you're doing?" Hannah asked as she stood beside the machine.
"I'm trying to keep up?" He replied with a bitter smile.
"You can increase it." Hannah told the instructor and he looked at Dexter who looked to be struggling at 58 kilometres per hour.
"He can't take it. Just look at him." The instructor pointed to Dexter who was struggling while groaning.
'Yes, let's just get this part over with.' Dexter thought as he wished for Hannah to stop pushing already.
*Pa!*
Hannah spanked Dexter's butt as she walked over to the other side where there was the button to increase the speed of the threadmill.
She hummed and everyone was surprised as she began turning the lever downwards.
"Sorry bro. Seems like your girlfriend wants to kill you." The instructor backed off after Hannah gave him a death glare.
'So a normal day is out of the books for me.' Dexter wondered as he watched Hannah slowly increase the speed of the machine.
Join us at m|v|le|mp|y|r now.
Some people were already preparing mattresses which stood vertically in case Dexter couldn't keep up with the machine.
They all watched how the speed increased and Dexter's legs got faster.
"He... He can't pass 200 kilometres per hour... Right?" A random person said in the background and the instructor swallowed as his speed was slowly getting reached.
160...
190...
200...
The instructor was now even more nervous.
'So I'll be easily dethroned as the fastest normal human.' the instructor thought as he bit his fingers nails.
The gym soon erupted into words of disbelief as the speed went up to 370 kilometres per hour and then even went up to 500, shocking the entire place.
"Please, you seem to know what his speed is." The instructor said and Hannah shook her head.
"I don't know yet." She then pulled the lever more and then she saw Dexter who began to move backwards slowly as veins began appearing on his arms, neck, and legs.
The machine stopped and Dexter came down before grabbing a towel from the pile closeby and wiped his sweat.
The instructor went to read the results and then he looked back at everyone nervously.
"533... Kilometres per hour!" He announced and the whole gym went into an uproar as it was near unbelievable.
