Chapter 105 Unarmed Entry Test
Chapter 105 Unarmed Entry Test
Zoravec got the video from Devi after she posed as Hecate and recorded the message he wanted. The very next day he went towards the base where a common test was going to be held. An evaluation was supposed to be conducted in order to select the possible candidate.
It was significant that the particular selection was based on some kind of skill and affinity. After all, the army wanted suitable people who had some kind of potential to rise and serve the pentagon. The entry test was based on wits and time management. The capability of the applicants to function based on instincts and the ability to solve the given problem.
None of the applicants was aware of the nature of the test, because it was renewed whenever the enrollments happened. Zoravec approached the test ground which was a building a few miles away. He knew that even if William supports and plans his entrance despite his assumed failure, Zoravec still had to attempt the test like other candidates.
Upon his strict instructions Devi was supposed to stay at home because she still had to wait for Zoravec's signal. Trespassing might have been easy for her but the possibility of getting caught was also high. Thus, she was only left with one option of staying back at home. However, Devi was told not to mess with Hecate while Zoravec was gone, even if it meant to bear her for a week.
'There are too many candidates. Fuck, I have to keep calm. There's no need to worry about anything. William is gonna get me out of this mess.'
Zoravec dawdled like other candidates, the building stood there all alone with just a bunch of countable cops at the entrance. The building was made of glass and it was expected that the jury must be keeping an eye on them.
After all, the pentagon must not have selected a seemingly fragile place to conduct a test which involved magic, for no reason. Zoravec keenly observed the outer of the soaring tall square building as all the applicants walked ahead on the pavement of the front lawn. He counted the presence of fifteen guards outside who were vampires and their dark aura was strangely powerful.
As soon as they entered the building, the front automated glass door closed. Zoravec knew something was about to happen, his gut feeling had never been wrong up till now. He immediately looked around and functioned to spot any kind of threat. It was evident that the test had either started or was about to start.
The hall had a huge ceiling and the three concrete walls seemed silent. Whereas the front glass wall from where they had entered turned darker. Zoravec immediately looked around to see his comrades' expressions, he could significantly witness the horror over their faces. It was obvious that maybe the test had potentially begun.
'We aren't alone here. The test has begun!'
Zoravec heard faint footsteps but he was not alone who could hear it. Even though his senses were increased the other applicants were no less than him. Before Zoravec could do anything to figure out where the voices were coming. The blonde guy standing on his left a little behind shouted with confidence.
"Come out! I know you can hear me just like we all can. Come out if you dare to face us all!"
The blonde guy named Blake yelled as he walked forward and looked around to find out the source of voice. Zoravec was surprised to see a confident ass as a candidate, he could not get any aura from him which meant Blake was a human.
'That is quite bold for being a human. He must have had some skill to back up his attitude.'
Zoravec was sure that no one would dare to come empty handed, all of them must have had something up to their sleeves. A lingering worry started clouding his mind slowly, Zoravec had nothing to display as his skills.
But he could do something to make him standout and appear as skilled. Zoravec moved forward upon concentrating on the source of faint breathing. He equally yelled while informing Blake like a true leader. Zoravec pointed out towards the ceiling which was also made of glass ventilation.
"There, the voice is coming from up there. I am certain there are at least 20 people."
He was sure about that part and knew that his speculations were not wrong. Blake ogled at Zoravec and nodded in agreement with his information. Meanwhile they both were exchanging glances with each other, a petite girl came ahead with both hands in the pocket of her jeans.
"It seems the test has begun."
Clara spoke and looked behind to inform the other applicants, upon hearing the three of them muttering about the sudden advent of the test; the comrades grew worried. Most of them started panicking and complaining, they were not prepared and no announcement happened.
Zoravec smiled upon seeing the situation which clearly indicated that most of them will be disqualified. A true soldier never lets his senses betray him, and Zoravec had proven that with his first statement. He cautiously glanced at Clara's hands and knew she had been hiding something in her pockets.
Just when all of them were trying to figure out what the nature of the test could be. Exactly 20 men broke the glass ventilation and shot below. Before they could land on the floor Zoravec and the possible 2 other passing candidates became alert. Blake immediately fished out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it to attain an increase in physical strength.
Zoravec immediately glanced at Clara who pulled four pointy blades from each of her pockets. She was ready to attack but before that Clara had to figure out who was going to attack first. Zoravec smiled and acknowledged that the two of them either had some prior training or had some knowledge of such attack and defensive fights.
Nonetheless, the cops were fully armed and immediately surrounded the whole group of applicants. Most of them began to shrink into a circle in fright, after all the soldiers were clad in black from head to toe. None of them were showing faces and all of the soldiers had no weapons which were visible.
Zoravec could clearly sense that the soldiers were dhampirs due to the aura which was coming from them. However, the nature of the test was easily understandable, the applicants were not supposed to use magic and weapons. Since the dhampir soldiers were unarmed Zoravec understood the task.
