Chapter 203: Training Battle 1
VROOOOOOM!
The air exploded forth the instant the notification panel disappeared.
Nolan saw the shadow of a robotic fist flashing towards his face. In the next second
_
BAAANG!
The ground beneath his feet gave way as his head shot to the side, a revolving shockwave exploding forth by the side of his head.
His gaze flashed with shock, and just in time, the robot retracted its hands.
Another shockwave blasted toward Nolan's head.
BOOOM!
Once more, the air quivered, but the blow met with nothing as Nolan dodged to the side again, barely avoiding the punch.
With terrifying precision and incredible fluidity, a knee shot forward toward Nolan's stomach, aiming to blast a hole within.
Nolan instantly matched the move with his own right knee.
BAAAAAANG!
BAAAAAANG!
The sound of a powerful collision rang out as his leg was violently thrown behind him.
He slammed face-first into the ground, sliding backward until he eventually skidded to a stop, tearing his face away from the ruined ground.
"[Idiot!]" the system chastised him.
Nolan felt the powerful air wave slamming toward his face again.
Im that instant—
BAAAAAAAM!
The robot's leg violently crashed into the wall behind him as Nolan rolled away from under its legs, backflipping into the air.
"[Hmm, I take back my words...]" the system said in surprise.
For a second, it had thought Nolan had lowered his guard, but it was proven wrong as Nolan dodged the blow by rolling away at the last second.
Immediately, the robot removed its leg from the wall and rapidly marched toward Nolan.
It was incredibly fast, and soon a flurry of punches rang throughout the training room. Nolan's head flashed here and there, dodging every attack.
But it wasn't without consequences.
A few slash marks could be seen along the side of his face, causing blood to trail down. Several areas on his skin were red, signs of hard impacts.
But apart from those, Nolan was still in pretty good shape.
"It's weaker than I thought," Nolan muttered to himself, dodging to the ground as a heavy kick whipped past his head, mere inches from blowing it off.
In an instant, the robot switched its motion, slamming forth with its next leg, but Nolan quickly moved his head down even more.
Then, pouring strength into his toes, he shot backward.
The robot closed in, and another fistfight began.
But none of the strikes managed to deal significant damage to Nolan, who accurately dodged everything, only suffering bruises from the powerful and sharp waves of air that followed each attack.

It wasn't long befor a kick was sent heading toward his head and Nolan moved his head to the side once more but then.
BAAAAAAAM!!!
He failed to dodge, and the heel of the robot's foot slammed into his face head-on.
His cheeks jiggled from the force, and Nolan was instantly thrown backward with speed, slamming into the ground once before finally smashing into the wall, skidding down it.
"What the hell! I dodged it!" Nolan muttered in shock.
"[Yeah, but gravity increases every five minutes, remember?]" the system reminded him.
But Nolan wasn't given much time to remember.
He barely moved to the side before the robot slammed into the space where he had just been.
Before he could escape further, a hand grabbed onto Nolan's head, tightening its hold.
BOOOOM!
BOOOOM!
BOOOOM!
The walls shook as Nolan was slammed into the wall three times.
Blood splattered out of his mouth as a rough punch landed on his stomach, causing veins to bulge in his eyes, and more blood poured from his lips.
The robot didn't try punching his stomach again; instead, its fist magnified toward Nolan's face.
At the last second, the robot moved its hand away from his face, then—
BAAAANG!
A powerful punch slammed into Nolan's face, his head digging into the wall as cracks shaped like spider webs appeared across the entire wall.
But quickly, the process mysteriously repeated itself.
The robot launched another punch, but this time it failed as a CLINNNG sound was heard.
It was the sound of the robot's fist meeting a weapon.
Nolan's knuckles had gripped a dagger, stopping the punch just before it reached his face.
"[Pity it's stronger than you, idiot,]" the system remarked.
Seconds later, another deep set of cracks reappeared on the wall as Nolan's face was smashed in by yet another punch.
It was the third slam of the day.
{The use of an ability has been detected.}
[The opponent will now be activating its weapon mechanisms...]
The AI's voice rang out as Nolan watched the robot prepare for another punch aimed at his face.
This time, it failed as Nolan instinctively leaped out from the wall.
Somehow, he felt an incredibly great danger from that punch, and he consciously moved away faster than normal.
KABOOOOM!
When the punch slammed into the wall, the explosion was twice as powerful as previous ones.
Nolan's heart shook within him.
Looking at the wall where the robot had struck, he saw spider web-like cracks covering the entire wall, and an actual hole had formed in the incredibly hard glass surface.
"SHIT!" Nolan screamed in his head as the robot slowly turned to look at him. He instinctively moved his gaze toward its fist.
Right now, there was a crimson energy covering his entire fist, and he finally understood what the AI meant by activating weapon protocols.
[I hope you can still keep using your fists...]
the system said as Nolan stretched his hand to the side, a long chain appearing.
He quickly linked it to his dagger.
SWOORR
SWOOORR
SWWOORRR!
The sound of the chained dagger spinning quickly filled the combat room as a confident grin appeared on Nolan's face once more.
Right now, he felt a sense of familiarity—a deep, intense familiarity with the dagger.
It gave him the feeling that, with it, he could take on the entire world.
"Watch and learn, system!" Nolan called out. In an instant, he whipped the chain upward and then downward to the side.
Immediately, the chained dagger blasted forth into the distance, slashing toward the robot.
The robot which had been steadily advancing toward Nolan, stopped to look at the dagger flashing forth, its crimson flames blazing with deadly intent...
