Y/N is done with his training. Good thing he's in. I wouldn't know his reaction if he wasn't. But...I'm also curious as to what that man said under his breath. Anyway I believe it's my turn. Time to enter the spotlight.

"Sean Soloff! It's your time to shine! Show us what you got!" The man spoke. I'm going rock climbing first. Wonder how that's gonna go. Well, don't know till ya find out, I guess. "First you are doing rock climbing! How far can you get?" The man spoke, just as he did with Y/N.

I of course aced all the walls except the black one which I struggled on a little before finishing. Good to know I did that one successfully. The man was astonished as to how I did that so fast.

"Oh my god. You're a legend. You have a strength in you I've never seen before!" The man spoke with hope. "Anyway, next is running. Hope you can do that very well as well!" The man spoke again. It was at that moment I knew I had to do good.

Long story short, I didn't need an artefact to cut my already record breaking time.

"Hold up. What are you doing that is making you so good. You literally just sidestepped every ball the machine threw at you. What intense training have you gone through to get a whopping 2 minutes?" The man shouted, his voice just a bit more hopeful than before. "Alright now...you know what to do. AK-47, blade, boxing gloves, crossbow and-"

"DISMANTLE!" I suddenly shouted, before using my cursed energy to slash the dummy into pieces. Oh wait, I have to utilise all the weapons, I thought. Damn, this was gonna be one hell of a ride.

"or cursed energy...yeah, sure." The man spoke. He clearly was a little irritated but still hopeful as always. "Anyways, first is the AK-47. Then the blade, then the boxing gloves, then the crossbow. Only then can you use your energy." The man spoke to me in a serious voice, indicating this was no time to fool around and hit random things with cursed energy.

With that in mind, I grabbed the AK-47 and shot the NEW dummy in the temple after sneaking up behind it. Doing it classic murderer style, of course I made mention of the words say goodnight. The man was a little fearful of what I could do to him so he spoke with astonishment instead.

"Wow! You really went mass murderer on that one! Plus, you used the whole magazine. NOW I NEED TO GET MORE." The man said the last part while storming out of his little observation office.

"So what are we gonna talk about while he gets back? Not you, Kai, ai can see you don't wanna talk. I mean Sean." Y/N said to me. "So. What'll it be. Perhaps the fact you slashed a dummy to pieces with nothing but your energy?" Y/N again spoke to me, but with a little more volume.

"Okay, let me explain. Throughout my lifetime I have developed this thing called cursed energy. I improved using it and eventually created my own cursed technique: the Art of Mimicry. So far, I can mimic Jack the ripper and Mahoraga's powers. I was born with Sukuna's." I said, hoping they would understand.

" We know you got powers, not that you mimic Jack the Ripper with them or Mahoraga with them, I just wanna know who you mimicked to get the dummy's head off." Y/N spoke to me like an intern interrogator.

"Bold of you to assume I mimicked someone. I said I was born with his power. In other words, one of his most frequently used abilities, Dismantle, is also mine. I demonstrated it just then. You happy now?" I spoke, with a tinge of irritation.

"Sort of. I wanna know what else you can do, BUT NOT NOW THE MAN IS BACK I NEED TO SIT DOWN IN THE WAITING BAY" Y/N spoke those final words before running to a bench in the waiting area.

"Hello again Sean. Time for your second weapon. Blade! Here. Take this and don't do anything too crazy." The man said. "Although I'm not sure myself what crazy is as Mr lunatic over here punched that dummy's head off."

You know what, mid aged man? I don't know what crazy is either. I of course chopped the head off the dummy, which got me a free talking after from Y/N about how.

"How? How does one chop off the head of another with a slash? How would you do that?" Y/N asked.

"You know I have a lifetime experience in mass murder. You know I have cursed energy. You should know the more I have, the stronger I am. Or have you gone crazy beyond reasoning and basic sense?" I spoke to him, partly as a piece of information, and part as a warning which, if he picked up, would be 'Check your Sanity'. He took it as an insult instead. Kai received my message to Y/N, and muttered "Damn, that's cold."

"Hey! I'm not crazy, just crazy good at melee!" Y/N spoke. He obviously didn't know I was warning him to check his Sanity. It might be useful later. "If there's anyone you should question their sanity, it's that cynical shortie in the corner there!" He suddenly retaliated. Kai, in a stage of retaliation and wearing a look that spoke 'What the fuck' to all who saw, had a gun to his head in seconds.

"Say I'm cynical again and this dummy round isn't the only type of round I'm shooting into your head." Kai spoke, as a death threat, but also a joke. That's what I thought anyway. He actually shot the round into his head. But of course it was dummy rounds, so it didn't go into his head. "Warning ya...døñt dò ît âgãīñ." He spoke in an animatronic voice.

"Well, I've been waiting about thirty seconds. Get a move on or none of you are being opted in!" The man, who apparently appeared thirty seconds ago, spoke to everyone. "Good, that's what I thought. Now, Sean, your third weapon-boxing gloves! Now, don't chuck a(n) Y/N-ey. We all know what happens if you do." The man spoke.

I took the gloves and donned them, before punching the dummy into the ground. I didn't punch any more, I just went to a second one and also punched it. " There, is that enough? I asked.

"Sure is, you did a good job of keeping a good sanity check, anyway, fourth weapon-crossbow! Take it from the stand and begin firing away." The man spoke, gesturing to the arrows beside a neatly fashioned crossbow. I took it, and started firing, but of course I tried to keep my self control (and a lot of arrows!) so that instead of being noticed, I could kill in the dark, like I did whenever the lights go out at a place with tons of people. I aimed and fired precisely.

"Way better than Y/N when he used it, that's for sure!" The man spoke, clearly happy with this change. "Anyway, final weapon-whatever you have in stock! Utilise your powers on this next dummy. You can do it!" The man encouraged.

"Why you bool me" Y/N spoke, clearly sad that the man was on my side, and not his. Take that Y/N, I thought. He pouted. It was so funny it almost made me laugh, but I didn't make a sound. I decided to use Cleave to cleave the dummy in half, as I couldn't use too many attacks with my others unless the other person is attacking as well.

"I assume that's you done. Good Job! You did it very well. Nice going. Now for your final test, the rope course! Go on." The man spoke, gesturing to the rope course. Acing it, the man was astonished at my strength, speed and agility. I could swing across it like it was your everyday monkey bars.

"Well that's me. Am I in? Or am I not in?" I asked. Although my friends gave me a look of 'it's obvious, bro', I still questioned the facts. Was I in?

"I don't even need to get your results to tell you that you're in."
