The gym door bell jiggled as Noah opened the door. "Hello... Master?"
Soo Jang peeked his head outside his office. "I thought today was an off-day for you?"
Noah had forgotten that, putting his bag down on a bench regardless. "Yeah it is, I'm not feeling sore at all though and I'm feeling bored so I just decided to come down to the gym. Is that fine or are you busy?"
Soo scratched his chin, "I suppose that's fine, I have another client coming in an hour or so, what do you want to work on today?"
"Another client?" Noah responded, chuckling. "I thought you were just a lonely guy who only had me."
Soo walked out of his office with a clipboard and coffee in his hands. "Of course not, I have multiple clients. They are older, so they come very early in the morning while you're snoozing off."
"Hey, don't make it seem like I'm being lazy. Sleeping is part of the recovery process which as a whole is more important than the workout!"
Soo hit him on the top of his head with the clipboard, "Then why are you here instead of sleeping and resting on your 'recovery day' if they are so important?"
Noah rubbed the top of his head, "I told you already... Anyway, you're my master, what are we working on?"
Soo put his coffee and clipboard down on the canvas of the boxing ring. "Hmm... you already did technical training yesterday, I suppose its time to give you your new training regimen, the intermediate regimen!"
He began flipping through papers on the clipboard, "Ah, here you are. Have you undergone the ABPS assessment yet? Not the test we recently did, I mean a different one."
Noah blinked. "ABPS? What is that? Never heard of it before."
Soo paused, reading over the paper. "You haven't?" He squinted at his own handwriting, then sighed. "Right. That was someone else, not you, I must be losing my mind today..."
Noah approached him and leaned on the ropes. "So what is it? Some kind of fitness test?"
Soo shook his head and began walking away with the clipboard in his hand. "Not at all. Follow me."
They crossed the training hall toward a sealed metal door marked with a simple warning label: Employees Only. When Soo pressed his fingertip against the reader, the lock clicked open and the lights inside lit up.
Noah's jaw dropped a little. He wondered how he had failed to notice there was a room back here, let alone a sealed metal door.
The room looked like a mix between a sports science lab and a clean military tech bay. Large machines lined the left wall, each one with cables, sensors, and screens. On the right side stood what looked like a sleek, matte black exosuit hanging from a support frame, its inner lining dotted with tiny embedded nodes.
Soo turned around toward Noah and pointed at the suit, "ABPS. Adaptive Biometric Profiling System. Though, you'll be doing all of this here."
Noah stepped in slowly, eyes darting from one machine to the next. "This looks like something you'd see in a government research facility..."
"Pretty much is," Soo said. "I have some connections in the government, so I am fortunate enough to have this equipment. We have both wearable components and fixed systems. The machines will be for getting a general highly accurate read of your body, while the suit will handle real-time close combat data."
He walked to the suit and pulled it from the support frame. "You'll be trying this on last. The nodes embedded across the suit as well as the shoulder pieces capture your real time biometric stream. Heart rate, blood oxygen, muscle tremors, tendon strain. All of it. It also runs combat kinetic telemetry, so it tracks your acceleration, joint torque, force curves, and every bit of bodily stress during movement."
Noah stared. "How come I've never heard of this invention before?"
"It's brand new, even in the government. Now, stop asking questions like that, I can't tell you more."
He clipped the suit back onto the support frame, motioning to the machines along the opposite wall. "These do the bigger tests. DEXA scans to map your muscle, fat, and bone distribution, three dimensional musculoskeletal mapping for posture and form, EEG neural readings, nerve latency analysis, VO2 max, and a bunch more. The suit can't do any of that accurately on its own despite its already amazing capabilities."
Noah let out a low breath. "So I'm doing all of this?"
"Of course," Soo said casually, already picking up a fresh clipboard from the counter. "I need a complete profile of your build before I develop your long term regimen. I can't just eyeball your limits anymore."
Noah frowned, "How are you even going to get through this before your next client? Am I the only one who's done this if its brand new?" (A/N: Referring to the suit, no one has done it before. A few clients have undergone the machine testing)
Soo gave him a small smile. "You are the only student I have worth the trouble anyway, the rest of my clients are just adults in the mid 30s and 40s..."
Noah laughed a bit, covering his mouth.
Soo squinted at him, "What was that?"
Noah swallowed his spit, "What was what? Let's get to the testing..."
He handed Noah a simple outfit, one you'd see a patient receiving an x-ray wearing. "Go put this on behind the curtain in the corner of the room and come out, we're starting with the DEXA scan. After that, we'll do the musculoskeletal mapping, neural tests, the rest of the machines, and the suit calibration."
. . .
After an hour and fifteen minutes had past, Soo popped back in the room, tossed the report to the desk, and closed the door. He had ran fifteen minutes late to meet his current client.
Noah picked the report up, and flipped it open where Soo had circled the subject line.

(AAS) Note: This preliminary report was generated using automated analysis systems. All findings are subject to revision pending secondary review by a qualified human specialist.
Evaluator Notes: Subject shows high potential in raw power, reflexes, and adaptation speed. Major weaknesses include left side inefficiencies, endurance at peak output, and structural imbalances that may limit performance if not corrected. Data may not be entirely accurate considering subject has the ████████, though following a thorough secondary review should suffice to develop the secondary training regimen.
