Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 84 Steelloy

A few minutes had gone by, and Mary was scanning her pupil to get clearance for the training facility entry.

To enter the training facility area, one must scan their pupil to open the door, but it was different if one were to leave.

If one were to leave the training facility area, then there isn't a need to scan their pupil. Otherwise, it would be a troublesome matter to always enter and exit the training facility.

Mary suddenly paused, turned around, and said, "Alright, I shall leave you here, Nathan. I still need to head back to the reception area and handle the customers."

Shi Tian nodded his head.

"Thanks for the guidance, Mary." He cupped his fist and gave his thanks.

"Anytime," Mary waved her hand.

"Oh, by the way, it's better to not stare at someone so intensely. Otherwise, some might mistake you as a pervert." She then said, teasing him.

Meanwhile, Shi Tian was taken aback as he understood her underlying meaning. It seemed to be safe to say that she had already realized he was suspecting her of something, and was warning him to pay no heed to it.

"You surely must be jestering me, Mary. Every man would have been labeled as a pervert since Mary is such a beautiful woman." Shi Tian smiled and said.

"Oh my, I didn't notice you were such a sweet talker before." Mary giggled sweetly and left the training facility, not bothering to say anymore.

When talking to clever people, there was no need to spell things out. The two of them understood each other, so not unraveling it was the best outcome.

Of course, Shi Tian also understood that he needed to pay attention to his conduct in the future. His every little bit of action would be detected easily by someone strong or someone with high perception.

And based on this interaction, he suspected that Mary should have long noticed his presence on the street earlier but feigned ignorance. It was clear that she didn't mind being seen by him, but at the same time, she didn't want him to be announcing it everywhere.

Hence, she was warning him to not divulge his findings using the pretext of him staring at her intensively.

'What a scary receptionist…' Shi Tian thought to himself.

He could seriously not underestimate anyone within Gearits City. Benmos was just a lucky case in which he was truly an all-brawn but no-brain man. The monsters in the wilderness are dangerous, but the people living in Gearits City are even more dangerous.

Smiling bitterly, Shi Tian turned on the machinery and began practicing on a dummy robot. The dummy robot wasn't as insane and crazy as the one that was formed using the formation. It can't copy his ability, but the dummy robot still possessed some fighting ability.

Instead of trying to ascend to the sky in one go, Shi Tian decided to take it easy and start from the lowest. The dummy robot offered in this particular machinery here was the lowest quality one.

However, that doesn't mean the dummy robot was by any means weak since Shi Tian still needed to be wary of its fighting prowess which was enough to shock him temporarily if he wasn't careful enough.

The dummy robot's body was constructed with Steelloy, a type of metal that was a bit superior to steel. It was a new type of metal that was discovered along with the many changes that the fissure sky had brought.

BAM!

As Shi Tian's mechanical right arm collided with the fist of the dummy robot, strong friction was created. The friction between the two types of metals worked against the motion and acted in the opposite direction, causing Shi Tian to nearly fumble as he went past the dummy robot.

And although his right arm was a mechanical one, he still felt numb from the forces.

After testing the difference in strength between him and the dummy robot, Shi Tian no longer fought it directly. Instead of a frontal collision like he usually does, Shi Tian was focusing on his movement to get to an advantageous opening for him to hit.

Occasionally, he would kick the dummy robot when it rushed forward for an attack, and use the momentum to repel himself away, creating some distance to plan for his next action. Besides kicking, he would also use his left hand to punch and block.

Of course, that would mean his left hand was feeling the full blunt power punches of the dummy robot, causing him to feel pain.

Despite being injured, Shi Tian was composed and continued to use his other body part to counter the dummy robot, refraining from using his mechanical right arm much.

After all, having a huge reliance on his mechanical right arm would be detrimental to his growth as a fighter and as a person.

If every time he required his mechanical right arm to fight, then what would happen if one day his mechanical right arm were to be destroyed or become faulty?

Wouldn't that be equivalent to losing all his fighting capability?

Thus, Shi Tian was willing to test whatever moves he was capable of to fight the dummy robot.

And just like that, Shi Tian spent an unknown amount of time improving his fighting ability. The Steelloy of the dummy robot was also in a dilapidated state from all the kicking and punching he had done.

"Seems like that's the limit of the dummy robot." Shi Tian muttered, realizing the movement and action of the dummy robot had slowed down tremendously. It was clear that the dummy robot could barely stand by itself after taking so many hits from him.

"Since it's gone, I might as well test the function of the right arm again and increase the force by 1 ton only." He then clenched his mechanical right arm as clear white steam began pumping out from the elbow.

With the force generated, Shi Tian propelled himself forward and punched the dummy robot, demolishing its entirety.
