It should be noted that this was the most authoritative appraisal agency, and there would absolutely be no falsification of the test results. Luna shook her head as she cried and shook Tessy vigorously, trying to get her to speak up. However, Tessy simply gulped with much difficulty in the face of these test results. She then grabbed Luna’s wrist and dragged her toward the side door. It would be best for them to leave in this situation. But the moment Tessy opened the side door forcefully-

“You’re lying.” “It’s not wrong…it’s right here in black and white. It even tells you they do multiple tests before sending a result. They are a reputable lab with a strong history of accuracy.” Dane pulls up his precious sheets of paper, unfolds them, and holds them aloft for her to see. Brandishing them like a symbol.

The elder lifted the scroll slightly. “The Alpha tests will include mental assessment, strategic planning, leadership judgment, conflict resolution, alliance evaluation, and strength trial.” A murmur moved through the crowd at “strength trial.” Some people glanced at Ronan and Keiran’s physiques like they were already imagining blood. The elder continued without pause. “The Luna tests will include mental assessment, governance planning, resource management, crisis response, and strength trial.”

Elder Mordecai added, which was the most generous thing he had said since she walked into any room. Elder Asteria folded her hands. "The test will consist of three rounds. The first will assess your agility and endurance. The second will assess your strength." "And the third?" Cecilia asked. "We have not finalised it yet," Elder Harold said simply. She stared at him. "You have not decided on the third round of a test you are administering." "We were not certain you would agree," Shane said, without any apparent embarrassment. "We will have it confirmed by tomorrow morning."

Valen thought to himself. "Welcome," the cold word brought him back to reality. Nothing was welcoming about that. "All of you here will be tested to show your strength and whether or not you will be worthy of being here. These tests comprise three major ones. The first one is the blood test, the second one is the test of war, and the third one is the Wolf Bane Test. This is also to let you know that you might not survive these tests to the end. You might lose your life if you can not withstand the pressure from these tests. If you end up dying, your body will either be disposed of or sent to your family... if we remember their names," the huge man with an eye patch announced.

Like it was stirring with anticipation, echoing a tension I couldn’t name. I ran my fingers along the edge of a stone, grounding myself. “They’re going to send tests,” I said aloud, to no one in particular. Nima’s voice drifted from the darkness. “What does that even mean? Tests of strength? Of character? Of faith?” “All of it,” I answered. “Or none of it. I don’t think it’s about passing or failing in the way we understand. I think it’s about being watched. Interpreted.” “Judged,” she said flatly.

I will wait until the rest of the tests are out before making any move. But for now, I'll keep this to myself. Not even Jolene will know. Until I was sure what I was dealing with.

The invigilators approached me mechanically and surrounded me. "Leaving during the entrance exam is prohibited. Please return to the exam hall and complete your test." Their identical, lifeless eyes sent a chill down my spine. I quickly weighed my chances of fighting my way out and gave up just as quickly. In the end, I obediently turned back toward the exam hall. On the way back, floating comments popped up once more. [Jessie's smart. She knew that she couldn't just sit and wait for death, but what she didn't know was that during the security check, a tracking device had been planted on her. If she leaves the exam hall, the tracking device would ring the alarm.]

I shake my head. “He is testing the protocol?” Amilee smiles. “Jason is in testing?” I shrug my shoulders. “I don’t understand what is going on, I just know they have to stay in a house with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, overnight.” “He is testing the protocol to see if it is sustainable. IF they all survive a night they prepare for the two week test. Then the month, the year. In two years we could have a new electrical frame work for country using existing infrastructure. Jason did it!”
