[Sephiroth gravely takes the mallet from him, as if this is a very serious responsibility he's undertaking rather than a game.]
Yes, I've been watching.
[It's easy to judge the amount of force it takes to strike the bell, as it's exactly the kind of thing he's been trained to do, and he wonders why the others seemed to be so terrible at it. It's easy, and this version of the test is crude.
That makes it different, and more interesting. It wouldn't be exciting if it were a lab test. He never gets to do things like this, to go out and do something by himself because he wants to. As serious as his expression is, he's inwardly pleased that the Professor isn't around and he can do whatever he wishes. Before making his try, he pauses to study the machine from this new vantage point. He raises the mallet before bringing it down, hitting the plate precisely. The puck shoots up, and then there's a sharp ring! as the bell is struck.

He smiles. He doesn't fail tests.]
