Tests & Introduction
There will be preliminary tests to determine the level of the student; they'll be tested in every area of training which includes power, control, durability, fighting, and agility. This will determine which level the student is currently at and what training they’ll be given. Equipment will be provided for certain levels and each will be fitted for the student’s level starting from apprentice and up to master. Instructor will be issued to the higher levels and will supervise students in their training and give them their own objectives. Tests will be conducted after a certain amount of training has been undergone, the tests will increase in difficulty as the students level rises.
Training Equipment
Students will be allowed the use of equipment once they reach or our assigned to apprentice level. Equipment will be provided for specific areas of training to increase all fields from power to agility. Equipment will be different concerning each level, becoming more effective and able to withstand more excessive use. Weapons also fall under this category and follow the same path as the level the student is in rises becoming harder to use and more powerful in use.
Levels
1. Beginner
Student's that make this level are trained in the basics of their power. Training here is easier than the other levels; however it provides a difficulty to a certain extent.
2. Amateur
The next level of difficulty after Beginner, this level is for student's who have surpassed beginner, however aren't advanced enough yet to handle the apprentice level. This level allows students to practice more difficult moves than beginner and is the first level to allow sparring.
3. Apprentice
The third level of difficulty, apprentice, will allow students to fight each other and digitalized opponents. Students will be able to go into simulations to fight and will be taught more advanced techniques and powers. This level will also introduce students to training equipment to further their strength, agility, and durability.
4. Intermediate
This level is in between apprentice and expert, it will have more advanced equipment, suited with weapons and introducing power training, a faster training technique used to speed up the learning process. Students in this level will be trained to a further extent and will be available to more exercises for them to receive more effective training covering all areas.
5. Expert
This level will give students a whole new learning experience featuring new training styles and various areas to expand the student’s knowledge of their powers and strengthen them significantly. Students in this class will be put through more rigorous tests to bring out their powers true colors and to give them a new look on their powers usefulness to encourage students.
6. Master
This level will combine all areas of training and deliver them through expert instructors. New exercises more strenuous than the past ones will allow students to experience additional instruction, also giving them missions to find a use for their power and to give them real life experience with using their powers in real situations. The equipment provided will have more effect on the areas they're used in, upgraded and sharpened for excellent use and results. This class is only open to the most powerful, most gifted students at Spektral Academy.
7. All Around Master
The only thing that is in this level is the practice of all the levels of training combined into twelve hour long practices. Having learned every ability known to man, this class teaches the unification of the abilities into more powerful ones. This is a just recently opened leveled addition to Spektral with the new opening of the new academy, formed for the elite of the elite since some were complaining that Master was too easy. A level so intense, so mind blowing in difficulty, that few ever even dare reach it.
This is the level that splits the boys from men.
The members in this class usually become legends within completion of the course.
This is the only category that doesn't have any numbers. Everyone that has ever made this class has never made it past Level 00.
Preliminary Test
The preliminary test will determine which level students are assigned to and will consist of five tests, each testing students in power, control, durability, fighting, and agility. Each test will be scored and after all tests are completed, an instructor will calculate, following a level scale and determine the student’s level. They'll be given a pass with their level printed on it and a code running along the bottom. It will act as a key to enter different areas, access doors will need these in order to open them, and passes can only open their level sections or any below their level.
Power Test: This test will measure the student’s power level, their strength in other words. A power target will be set up on the far side of the room and will be the student’s target. They'll attack it, using any powers the student has. It will absorb the blows and stay intact, calculating the force put on it and scoring it.
Control Test: The power target will still be up and students will attack it again, this time it will act as nothing more than a target. The instructor will watch the student and analyze their movement and skill with their powers. After the instructor has seen enough, they'll score them and continue on.
Durability Test: This test will put extreme pressure on the student from all around and the student will have to endure the pressure. Their resistance to the pressure will be the scoring judge and they'll have a time frame set up for the pressure to go on and up until it turns off.
Agility Test: An obstacle course will be set up, materializing and digitalizing the room the student is in. They'll have to navigate the obstacle course which will be living, pillar shooting out of the ground and from all around. Other traps will spring up and objects will be sprawled out to dodge through. The student will be timed and the faster they finish, the better score they'll receive.
Fighting Test: A digital arena will be set up in the room the student is in. A foe will be made to battle the student in the digitalized arena and will be set a default level. The student will have to fight with only melee moves such as kicks and punches and any weapons they might have. Their score will be determined on the time it takes to beat their opponent, their skill, and style.

Kyosuke walked in and found himself in the a lobby of the building, whatever it's purpose was. He walked up to a long counter that was curved and ended on each side at a stairway. The floor was white marble, the counter was also made of the same marble, computers were set up as well and people were working on them behind the counter. He walked up to the counter and asked the woman behind the counter, "Hello, I was away when this place was built. Can you tell me what it's being used for?" The woman smiled as she pushed back a strand of hair in her face and said in a friendly voice, "This is the Training Dome, it will be used for the students here to train on their own time, as well as for teachers to train their pupils. We have a wide range of training equipment used for each level. Before you can train we'll have to determine your level, please follow me into the room behind here." She said walking up to the wall a little ways behind her.
Kyosuke walked around the long counter and walked up to her, standing in front of the door. She then said, "Inside you'll be tested strength, control, ability, and other various subjects and your scores on each will be added up and your level will be calculated following our level ranges. Please proceed in and I'll go into the other room and monitor your progress and give you the test." Kyosuke nodded and opened the door, walking inside a blank room tinted blue by the light that ran across the ceiling in a line. He walked into the middle of the room and waited further orders for his test.

The woman then came over the speaker that was in the room, "Ok, your first test will be on strength. We already have information on your powers and have the necessary equipment to test you. We'll open a large power target at the end. It will determine the force of your power. Go ahead and attack it with any moves you have and they'll be reordered and scored in the computer." Kyosuke watched as the spot in the middle of the wall opened revealing the power target she had talked about. He transformed into the SoulTaker and charged at the target, kicked it with all his might. Second he punched vibrating the room and finally he jumped backwards and landed with a skid. He was far enough away and held his hand into the air and it began to glow, he brought it back down and pulled it back, and finally sent it forward sending the powerful punch, "Lightning Breaker!!" As it flew into the power target. The light filled with room for a moment and disappeared showing no signs of damage against the target.
"Very good, your next test will be on control. Using the current information we have, I'll watch you and decide your level of control. Please attack the power target while I watch, I'll tell you when to stop." Kyosuke did as he was told sending another Lightning Breaker at the target. After attacking it with Lightning Breaker he propelled himself through the air and planted a powerful kick on the middle of the target. His feet came to the ground and he then leaned forward almost dashing into the wall and punch the target with his clenched fist. The woman came over the speaker again and said, "Control test is complete, I analyzed your fighting technique and determined your level & score. The next test will be your ability, use your moves, jump through the air, fly, whatever you can do and I'll watched and analyze your ability level. You may begin."
The corner of the floors and the walls then came apart and the room began to become bigger. It then stopped and the ceiling had also been raised higher. He saw this as the time to do as he was told and spread his wings out, flying around the room doing turns and twists. He did some jumps and flips, dashed quickly around the room and attacked the power target with combo moves. He was then called to a stop by the women and she gave him his next test, the durability test. Before he knew what he should expect pressure came all around him and he fell to his knees with his hands pressing up against the floor. He then knew what it meant as his body was in a all around pain. He was able to get one foot back up and repeated the process with the other foot. He then attempted to take his hands from off the floor; he began to lift them with all his might as he strained his muscles trying to do it. He fell to the ground as he had pulled a muscle in his back.
The woman came over the speaker yet again and said, "It's ok Kyosuke, we'll take a break for now and you can come back later. I'll get you a bottle of water." Kyosuke got up and transformed back into his human form. The woman was very nice; he enjoyed having her instruct her rather then one of the others behind the counter as she was extremely friendly. He came out of the room and the woman was there holding a bottle of water which she held out in front of Kyosuke. He took the bottle of water, screwed off the cap, and gulped down half of the bottle of water. "Thank you." He said walking away satisfied as he made his way back around the counter and outside of the dome building. The entrance was a glass door surrounded by more glass windows. There were two benches on each side of the door and it was shaded here as there was a ledge protruding out of the dome above him. He reluctantly sat down on one of the benches and titled his head back so it could lie against the wall, it didn't matter if it was hard and as long as he could rest he didn't really care.

The woman walked up to Masterson and said, "While your friend is resting outside, I can give you the first half of the preliminary test so you can train here. Would you like to go ahead and do it now or wait for your friend to finish?"

He looked up at Masterson and said, "Yeah I think I'm ready." He said standing up from the bench. He located a trash can and threw away the empty water bottle. He walked back inside and saw Tina getting up walking back into the room she'd been in before. Kyosuke went around the long counter and walked back into the testing room, there he was greeted with the womens voice who said, "So your friends call you Kyo? Mind if I call you that too." Kyosuke didn't mind and nodded his head in approval. "Ok then Kyo, you had finished half of the test, if your ready then I'll go ahead and start the simulation." Before he could ask any questions, the room digitalized and he was in a whole different place. "Like I said this is a simulation, more of a simulation battle. The enviorment around you is real as far as virtual reality goes. It's very hard to explain how we can bring this sort of interactive enviorment to you, but it's totally destructible."
A enemy digitalized a little ways away in front of him and appeared to look like a sword fighter. "He'll be your opponent, you'll only be able to use melee moves and any weapons you might have. Battle start." The sword fighter ran at him and Kyosuke shot the blade out from under his arm charging at him too. Their blades clashed as they fought. The enemy may have a primitive sword, but his skill with it more than made up for it. He was using a long sword which made it easier to attack him. He had to admit, this was starting to get really fun.

Masterson, meanwhile changed into the training outfit. He walked up to Tina and said
"I'm ready. When this is over, let me know."
He walked to the waiting room.

SoulTaker charged back at him and their blades met again, sparks flying. The opponent bent his knees, jumped up, kicked off of SoulTaker chest, and flipped back landing on his feet, while SoulTaker crashed into the digitalized stone wall. He got back up and jumped into the air landing behind him, retracting his blade again and having it meets his neck. Tina came over the speaker saying, "Well done, the match is over now. This test was to analyze your fighting technique. You only have one more test and you'll be done, your scores will be added up and I'll assign you your level. Your final test will be speed run obstacle course. It will be constantly changing to simulate the fast paced style of a battle."
The room digitalized into a desert that formed the walls and ceiling as well. The room had grown longer as well and he could see objects sticking out from the sand all the way to the end. "Ok, ready, go." He dashed off and saw the objects sticking out of the sand sprout up even higher and faster, coming just as quickly back down. As he dashed a wall came up in front of him making him have to quickly dash to the side avoiding contact. This continued, the walls and ceiling contributed to protruding obstacles, more and more were coming up make the room seem even smaller and smaller. He contemplated on using his Lightning Breaker, but decided against it as this was a obstacle course after all which meant dodging, not destroying.
He was coming close to the end when he became distracted by one of the walls coming up, dashing to the side without thinking a large pillar came out of the ground and slammed him into a smaller one sticking out from the ceiling. The pillar then came went back down making him fall after at. He landed on the ground and the room returned to it's normal appearance. "It's ok Kyo, a lot of people have problems with the obstacle course. It was a further test of your agility just as the fight was a further test of your power and control. I would have given you a harder set of tests, but standard procedure doesn't allow me. By the way, my name is Tina." She then went to work scoring his last test, then adding up his scores and determining his level. "Alright Kyo, seems that your level is intermediate high, congratulations."
She came out of her room just as Kyosuke appeared from out of the test room. She shook his hand and handed him another bottle of ice cold water. He reluctantly took it unscrewing the cap and gulping down most of the bottle. She smiled at him and said, "Alright Kyo, let me give you a quick tour and then I'll give your friend his test." She said walking around the counter and up one of the wide marble staircases leading up to the second floor of the dome. Kyosuke followed and was lead into the intermediate level section, she explained to him the equipment choice for each level and the rooms he'd have access to. She brought him back downstairs and made him a pass for that section with his name printed on it. "Alright Masterson your next to walk on into the test room." She said walking into her room.

"Alright then, I looked up your info Allen and I'm ready to give you your first test. You'll be given the same moves as Kyo so if you watched you'll know what to expect. The first test is the power test, attack the power target and It'll absorb the attack and score the power put on it. Ready, go!" The wall at the far end opened revealing the large metallic target for Masterson to attack.

"It doesn't matter it won't be destroyed. It's made out of shock absorption material and a upgrade steel that will make it more durable. Now go ahead and hit and stop asking questions." She said in her friendly voice.
