For the rest of the time, Osir stopped looking for a means to escape. They arrived at a school that was separated by three meters tall walls. The grounds of the school had three buildings and one big field also separated by a wall but smaller. One building was the school itself. It is a three-story building with the front of the building being mainly windows. The second building looked like a dormitory for students. The last building was unclear since it was just a cube without windows. Just two double doors to enter.
The bald man took him to the cube-like building. From the inside, it looked like a lab that had a view of three empty rooms. Two scientists and a man in casual clothes approached them.
-You must be the new students that came here for testing.- Said one of the scientists.
-What kind of test is it?- Asked Osir.
-Here we’ll test your Esper abilities in three ways. Battle capability, scout capability, and support capability. Could you tell us what your Esper powers are? Asked the scientist.
-I am capable of controlling temperature.
-Now I understand how you made that ice under the mech and normal guns weren’t able to pierce through the armor but you made bullets hot enough to not melt and to damage the mech.- Pointed out the bald man.
-Sounds like his abilities are B rank.- Whispered the scientist to his coworker.
Osir was put in one of the empty rooms with two small containers. Both of them had water in them.
-We’d like to test two things right now. Your ability to raise the temperature and lower it. First. Please freeze the surface of the water in one container.- Said the scientist through the speaker.
Osir raised his hand above one container and after a few seconds, he created a layer of ice in the container. Scientists checked the thermovision and saw that only the upper part of the container had a temperature below zero.
-Now. If you could freeze the whole container.- In a few seconds, the whole water was frozen. The boy was able to lower the temperature to minus ten degrees Celsius.
-This time evaporate the surface of the water in the second container. Afterward, do that to the whole container.
The readings from the charts were the same. Osir was able to evaporate the surface only and a whole container. He was precise and fast with his task. They would end up testing his powers but the man wearing casual clothes reached the microphone and asked one thing.
-Osir. Are you able to lower and raise the temperature at the same time?- The boy answered by bowing his head a bit.
Osir placed his hands above both containers and after a minute he changed evaporated water into small shards of ice and evaporated the whole container of ice. Once he did that the scientist took the containers away.
The next test was his scouting capabilities. Osir was able to change his body temperature on the surface that it was hard to find him by thermovision only. In the second test, one of the scientists hid behind walls and Osir had to point out where he is standing. He was able to do that without a problem and even noticed that the scientist tried to move around.
-What do you think about Osir? Professor Olsen?- Asked the bold man as he looked at the man in casual clothes.
-He is a very talented Esper and his power can be useful in many ways but there is one concerning thing.- Said, Professor.
-What is it? Are you scared of him? He is just a young boy.- Said the bald man.
-A bit… Exactly because he is young. I made a link with him to read his emotions but he is empty. Such a young boy and it’s like there is no soul in him. Just an empty puppet for war…
The bald man reached for the microphone and said - Now let’s begin your combat test. I’ll be your opponent.
The boy stood there in the room without any movement waiting for a command while the man did a little warmup. When it looked like he was ready a two-man appeared from behind him looking exactly like him. Same height, the same uniform, and the same face.
-You’re going to fight against my clones. After all, I’m Esper like you. Get ready!
