Chapter 11: Balance Test
------------------
Next Morning...
In the clear field stood a weird looking tall machinery.
The Trainees then stop in front of the weird object as the Bald Instructor told them to do. Looking around, and then began talking...
"First, your aptitude will be tested"
"Those who fail are not even worthy to serve as bait"
"Failures will be sent to the reclaimed lands!"
Then, the Bald Instructor began to tell them about these tall objects as Vincent listened intently...
The Bald Instructor then said that this is to test their sense of balance and ascertain who's adept at using ODM Gear.
Intuitively sensing the balance... and knowing what to do in this situation and so Vincent thought as he summarized the long-winded explanation of the Instructor…
****
Standing at the back of one of the weird looking objects Vincent's time to turn the lever of the "ODM Balance Test" machine and start the pulling process...
The Trainee that was at the center of the Testing Machine, started to rise in the air as the cable started pulling him up...
In this state you should start to balance yourself or you might fall.
"Next"
It's now his turn...
He got into the center and they hooked the cable on his belt...
"Go!"
Then the hook brought him up in the air he then began to try and sense the balance, and make it perfect Harmony in the process...
Vincent then did it without much trouble and thought.
'It was easy' It was easy that he thought it would be...
Even though he said that, Regaining the balance in the air required complete control of your body...
The control of your weight you put in and pull out...
In the air you will experience the pull of gravity, even though the gravity pull never changes the position of the hooks constant changes as you glide the air are in another matter.

In the end, everything matters that's why everyone needs to have a strong body just to better control the ODM Gear and that's only one of the requirements...
"What the hell are you doing, Eren Jaeger?"
The Bald Instructor said that towards the black hair guy the black hair guy who made commotions in the Dining Hall.
Getting down Vincent looked towards the "Gutsy Idiot", named Eren Jaeger.
"Jaeger...?"
'When did he hear about this name it sounds familiar...'
Vincent then made a thoughtful expression, when Conny approached him and congratulated him.
"Wow, Vincent! You hardly move! Just like me! Haha"
"Well... it's not that hard to balance it..."
"Right? But..." Conny drag his voice and pointed towards Eren Jaeger, "That guy failed miserably like the others, even though he's all talked about killing all the Titans"
Vincent just smiled at what Conny had said...
****
"You Lot! Gather around me!"
The Bald Instructor then yelled that heard around the field as the Trainees gathered fast...
"There's no trick about this activity you only need to sense the balance and try to communicate with it, or like Vincent and Mikasa and the others control it."
"Some of you, the results are outstanding and some are down right failed..."
The Bald Instructor then looks towards a certain black hair guy, the "Gutsy Idiot", Eren Jaeger...
Many people look at Vincent figure and the others who have been mentioned and at Eren whose head has been lowered his palm clenching hard as a Black Hair girl, named Mikasa and blond hair kid Armin comforted him...
"There Are no tricks... but there are requirements . You need first a strong body, a strong thinking mind to balance yourself in the air, and lastly you need to have better control of your body..."

"That's why I ran around the field until I said stop..."
"GO!"
*****
Night Time...
In the Dining Hall.
Vincent was seated at the back of the seat around him were Conny, Marco, and Jean...
Laughingly he got acquainted with Jean...
"Vincent! The Instructor mentioned you!"
"Well! Vincent is superb! As good as me!
"Hey! I got mentioned also and we all got mentioned as a matter of fact!"
"What do you know! Vincent is the first to get mentioned! Clearly, the Instructor favored him..."
"What do you think about it Vincent?"
"So so..."
Vincent absentmindedly said as he ate his soup...
"He talked a big game yesterday, saying he'd kill all the Titans. And yet he'll be working at the reclaimed lands after tomorrow."
"Useless kids don't deserve food."
Vincent then began to murmur and talk about Eren Jaeger...
At his left side on a different table a kid with black hair and now has a roll bandage on his head and had been bad mouthing since they entered the Dining Halls.
Ding! Ding!
The Bell rang as Vincent got up and said towards his 3 new friends...
"Gonna go stroll... don't wait for me"
Vincent then left the Dining hall...
After sneaking into the Food Storage room Vincent gets some pieces of meat.
He then continued and walked towards the forest...
He climbed some tall rocks, and passed by the boundary of the forest...
After 20 minutes of walking Vincent saw a lake and got closer and walked over the lakeside...
He then started to stretch and exercise and train his body...
100 push-ups
100 squats
10 km run
(A/N: IDK... Every time I heard about exercise or workout, I thought of Saitama! Bwahahaha!)
He then completed and even exceeded his training regime and he exhaustively laid down the grass...
He controls his breathing and calms down.
Vincent then began to collect woods and branches and then began to make fire and cook the meat he stole...
After eating the food Vincent then jumps towards the frozen cold lake...
Splash~
Submerging his entire body Vincent got chilled down to his spine by the water of the lake as he felt the sensation of splashing a bucket of ice on his entire body.
Even though it was cold it calms down his body and cures his exhaustion.
Getting out of the lake and drying himself up...
Vincent picked up the clothes he threw and wore it back.
He then began to walk back towards the camp, but saw some lights ahead of him.
Walking towards them Vincent saw that it was a group of 4 people...
Walking silently at night...
Vincent got a complete look on the people that have some light, and knew them.
He contemplated, and then began walking towards them...

The Way Ahead
What do you do when you don't fit in? Edwin never really felt many connections to other people, but as a physics student, that was fine. He didn't really need it, anyway. He was content to peel back the mysteries of the universe... not that there were many left to find. Modern-day research was just too well-established, too well-trodden for any single enthusiast to make any significant headway. But that doesn't apply to other worlds. Not ones where magic and Skills run rampant, where well-defined roles and Classes dominate much of society with little room for novel experimentation from its residents. That kind of world would be perfect for an overeager, newly-minted Alchemist to make his mark. Things are never that easy, though. The Way Ahead is a very slice-of-life story following the story of someone trying to find his place in a world that doesn't know what to do with him. Expect lots of science, lots of alchemy, a few sarcastic quips by the System, and lots of exploration involving the world, self-discovery, and above all, science. After all, further research is always required. Updates every other day at 9 AM PST. Congratulations! For writing a story during the month of November, you have unlocked the Royal Road Writathon Participant path!
8 242Fire and Blood
There are a lot of stories about people reborn into a fantasy world but most such individuals seem to be young, inexperienced and forced to start from the bottom up. But who attempts to summon a nobody, expending vast magical power to do so? What if there is an effort to summon a champion of the celestial host and strip them of their free will, binding them by their True Names only to be foiled as they vacate themselves to follow possession by another? What if the one summoned from something approximating our own world is a veteran in her thirties who now finds herself in a form alien, powerful, but far from invulnerable? It involves a whole lot of fire.
8 141Path of the Ancients
When humans with the ability to control the fundamental particles of the universe with their minds were first discovered, the age of space travel began in earnest. Relativistic travel faster than the speed of light became possible and humanity moved out into the stars. When it was discovered that these Mages could be turned into effective weapons, humanity turned back to its oldest pastime of war. Hundreds of years later as humanity was on the brink of self-destruction, with its taste for war finally beginning to wane, a new organization was created. The Conclave was formed to regulate all Mage’s within the human colonies. While the colonies maintained their independence, the Conclave’s control over access to interstellar travel made them the de facto power amongst humanity. As the old saying goes, ‘Power Corrupts’, and many people were unhappy with the way the Conclave had been leveraging its authority, not the least of which were the Mages they controlled. One unregistered illegal Mage by the name of Tyrial had made it his life's mission to dismantle the Conclave at any cost. After spending decades working towards his goals alone, he realized he would need the aid of willing allies in his crusade. Tyrial would need all the help he could get learning to work with others, dealing with his own dark past, and handling unfamiliar feelings of romantic interest. Content Warning Note: They are there to cover my behind. I honestly hesitated to put them there at all but I figured better safe than sorry. Gore in particular barely applies and the sexual content amounts to light Cinemax style at best. But, at least now you can’t say I didn’t warn you. POSTED: Currently, this story is being posted to RoyalRoad and ScribbleHub. If you see this story posted anywhere else, please report it to the user "Tyrial" on either of the aforementioned sites. Thanks!
