Location: France, Paris at the 40th floor of the Pawn Building.
Date: August 14th 2020
Time: 04:17 p.m
P.O.V: Y/N
Y/N: Mmmmn......Mmmnn.........
(This table is far from being comfortable for sleeping... I could at least rest a little bit.
It's 4:17 p.m... I woke up on time. I may not have any power but I am happy to have the chance to control my sleep. If I wish to sleep only 20 minutes, at the end of this time I will wake up automatically. I have at least that for me, it's a very useful ability.)
???: Did you sleep well ? You were almost as cute as me when sleeping. Mr. Rabbit would agree with me if he was here.
(How could I be cuter than you..... I'm still sleeping, right ? What are you making me say...
And what ?! I'm not weird ! There is nothing wrong with finding another man cute... Even if he's more like a boy.)
Y/N: How am I supposed to sleep well in these conditions ? They could at least have provided mattresses and pillows. Not everyone takes as long to complete a poor little test.
The reception leaves something to be desired. They can always dream, I'm not giving them a good note.
???: You're really funny ! It really surprises me, you really looked so serious and grumpy before.
But why are you talking to me now ?
The written test is not over yet, you are not supposed to talk to me. (he said with his eyes wide open)
Y/N: It's true, but I think that anyone who comes to take this test is more interested in it than I am and they count on it a lot. You wouldn't have spoken to me if it made you lose the chance to join this school. You already finished it. Just don't speak too loud.
???: Speaking of which, I almost cried because of you... (he said with a sad look)
Y/N: What I have done to you..... Haaaaa ! Sorry if I was rude to you at first, I just don't like when people are making too many noises. I'm really sensitive to this.
???: It's not about that... You said you were going to talk to me after the test, I did my best to finish quickly but you were already sleeping at the time, you made me wait a lot. We don't have much time to talk now... (he said while pouting)
Y/N : How long have you been waiting ?
???: Since 3:38 p.m.
(He finished two minutes after me ? With his childlike attitude I don't really know if what he wrote is worth something. I'll just leave the benefit of doubt, it's better to not judge a book by its cover.)
Y/N: I'm sorry, but in a way I kept my promise, I didn't specify if our discussion was going to be long or not. We just did it now.
???: I'll settle for that, don't worry. I'm fine. It was fun talking to someone who is trying to act smart but who is worthless. (he said with a serious look and a piercing gaze)
Y/N: What ?!
(Is he the same person I've had in front of me so far ?!)
???: Let's do our best for the rest of the test !!! (he said while being bubbly)
(What just happened ? He's back to normal now ?)
Y/N: What do you mean by......
Elisa: The written test is officially finished ! I'm glad to see that everyone finished on time, but hopefully that doesn't mean you've botched your answers for it.
We will see that later by examining your tests.
I hope you can all hear me and see me correctly, because I have a lot of information to share with you about the next events.
We didn't put these screens up for nothing.
Even more than for the first test I advise you to follow carefully what I say because I will not repeat it a second time.
Everything I will say can be really important.
Now make way for my very long explanation !
I'm going to explain how the practical test is going to take place, which is the more important between the two tests for several reasons but I don't have the time to tell you about them.
(It's over for me, at least I tried....)
Elisa: The practical test itself will take place in two stages.
First you will have 45 minutes in front of you to leave the building in which you are, for once outside, to do something to be able to pass to the next step of the test.
Obviously you can imagine that it will not be as simple.
In this test you can use your powers as you want but with some restrictions, let me explain everything.
The rooms where you are at the moment are going to be safe places during all the test, it's forbidden to use your powers or to fight with the other participants, or even to slow them down in any way inside them.
But once out of these rooms, the real competition starts.
If you have powers that can make it easier for you to get out without having to do any of this, enjoy yourself.
To leave the building in which you are, it's compulsory to leave by the main entrance. To do this, almost everything is allowed.
Candidates can fight with each other with their magical powers or not and you can also use all possible means to block the advance of other participants.
There are two things really important to clarify, it's forbidden to seriously injure anyone and even less to kill. Only small wounds and injuries are allowed to be inflicted, if you don't control your powers enough to allow everyone's safety avoid using them to fight with other people. If you can make people unconscious without seriously injuring them, you can do it.
It's also forbidden to destroy the foundations of the buildings, if you don't want to die, the walls like the ground on each floor, but you can do whatever you want with the rest.
The buildings are made with Yartrax but be careful.
Alliances and betrayals between candidates are allowed.
In addition you will not only be in competition with each other because we have the honor to welcome several professional magicians who are there to prevent you from going out. There are 40 of them in each building. They are coming from three different companies of magicians, "Le Coq D'or" and "La Rose" from France and the "Diamond Age" from the U.S.
You are probably asking yourself the question, why should we prevent others from passing the test ? We could very well all join forces together to defeat the professional magicians and all go to the next step.
But the problem is that the places are not unlimited.
Once out of the building, as I said before you will have to do one more thing to be able to go to the next step, but you will know more about it once outside if you manage to get out. At the place where I made my first announcement, three kilometers from each building, several buses are waiting for you to take you to the place where the practical test will continue.
There will be 8 buses with the capacity to receive 100 people maximum, so there will be only 800 people who will be able to pass to the next step of the test between the 2996 that you are now.
And that is only if 800 of you succeed to go out and do the intermediate stage. You may be much less in the end, I don't know if that many people will be able to get out.
I hope you understand now why you will surely fight among yourselves to go outside of each building.
You will know more about the intermediate stage once outside and for those who will have the chance to get on a bus, it's on the way to get to the next destination that you will have more information on the following event.
I wish you good luck, it's currently almost 4:28 p.m, at my signal you will have 45 minutes to pass this first step.............................................................
Go ahead, LET'S GO !!!
(What am I supposed to do right now... Maybe I should just wait here until I can go home, I don't have any chances. There is no point in trying and going outside.)
???: She finally finished ! She's very beautiful but I stopped listening to her when she started talking about professional magicians.
She could become my friend but she just needs to speak less. I will ask her if I meet her.
I just have to go out now, if I ask people to let me pass nicely, it should be fine without any problems.
Y/N: I think it's a little more complicated than you think, if you want I can at least explain to you quickly what you didn't listen to.
???: Thank you, you're really kind but there is a reason why I didn't listen, I didn't need it anymore.
You know, I'm very sensitive to magic and I don't feel anything coming from you.
Mr. Rabbit told me that it was not good to be mean to others but I don't think that someone who has no magic powers can say anything to me. You're not funny anymore. You know, me too, I love playing just like you, but this game is not for you.
They should have excluded you from this test for a while. It would surprise me a lot if they hadn't noticed you.
You just have to wait quietly like a little dog here, you don't have to worry about me. Everyone listens to me when I ask them something nicely.
(Me a dog ?!!! Wait... I should remain calm.... Even if I would prefer that he's more respectful towards me, what he says is far from being totally wrong, if I were in his place I would surely think the same thing. You're lucky that you have a cute face, because if not ! I would have done nothing !)
Random Guy: We are on the 40th floor. We have a long way to go, I suggest that we team up all seven to be able to get out as quickly as possible. And sorry... I don't know what your name is but you should stay here, we can already hear a lot of noises, it's too dangerous for you.
(Does he have pity on me ?)
Random Girl : Why is he even here ? I hate people like him, they should be more responsible. We are not here to play magicians. This test is something serious, we are not here to play !
(Wait, who does she think she is ?)
??? 2: You don't think you're being a little bit too mean to him ? You don't even know why he came.
(Thank you ! I'm rooting for you !)
Random Guy: Let's just stop talking about him. We don't have much time.
???: Maybe we should go and make more friends, there is other people on this floor ! (he said all happy)
Random Guy: Okay, let's do this. It's safer to do this with as many people as possible, we need that to have a higher chance to reach the main entrance. They will surely accept since we are in the same difficult situation. Everyone is fine with this plan ?
EVERYONE: Yes.
Random Guy: Let's get out of this room.
(You're acting like the leader.... unfortunately some people don't seem to appreciate this. You should be careful, even more when you don't seem to trust your own powers.)
???: Useless boy, bye bye !!! Don't move, you have to stay here ! (he says all happy)
(In the blink of an eye, they are already out, closing the door behind them.
In their place I would have waited longer, this boy with his cute appearance, he didn't seem to need their help very strangely.
I think his self-confidence does not come from nowhere, this is not only innocence, what I felt when his gaze changed completely, it was fear.
I wouldn't have gone out with him in their places, he said that he was sensitive to magic, and these other people had not noticed that I had no power, only a few people can sense magic like him.
He is very likely to be stronger than them, given his "innocence" it would be better not to stay near him. It's impossible to know what he's thinking about, it's like he has another personality....)
Y/N: What can I do right now ? I don't have any powers but my chances of success are not zero... What's that noise ?
(It's as if several people just fell on the floor, with their back first at the same time.
It's coming from this floor... To make such a noise they had to be at least 15... Why am I even analyzing the situation ? The best choice for me is to stay here but I really want to prove to them that I can do it. I can pass the test.
Pull yourself together Y/N ! You said it yourself on your written test, magic powers are not everything.
I should do my best till the end.
I can't afford to agree with them, I'm sure I'm smarter than most of them.
I have my honor too, let's do this without any regrets.
This is the first time that I want to achieve something so much without even knowing why...
By cons, why am I feeling like this ? I would like to know why every time I think of giving up since the appearance of magic, I have the impression that someone crushes my heart really hard, it hurts so bad...
I'm not the type to give up but you have to be realistic sometimes. Let's just try....
I just found a funny goal ! Anna Qyllyos, just watch me pass the test without any powers.
I really want to see the reaction of the other students and the teachers after seeing that you accepted someone with no magic.)
Y/N: Let's get down to business. I should still have 36 minutes to get out of here.
I have to analyze and imagine all the possibilities I have to go out and create a plan as quickly as possible.
First, I must understand all the things that the situation in which we find ourselves involves.
(There is nothing that I cannot see, I will find a solution. I always hit the right spot, I never miss.......)
Y/N: I just have to watch and remember everything carefully. Analyze everything.
(What am I talking about ? Since when can I see everything ? The right spot ?! Am I really the one who thought about that ? I'll think about this later....)
Y/N: Now...... Let's pass this test !
