Chapter 14: The Observation Room
The atmosphere on the stage was filled with excitement as the students took turns choosing their guilds. Each of the top three ranked students stood proudly, their decisions shaping their future as their respective guilds awaited them. As the last student made their choice, the tension in the atmosphere eased, and Vardhan, the headmaster of the trials, stepped forward to make an important announcement.
"Now those who have chosen your guilds, and for those who still have to choose, there is one more thing you need to take care of before you proceed," Vardhan's voice echoed across the arena. "In two days, you will undergo a test that corresponds to the guild you have chosen. This test will determine your power level and your position within your chosen guild. Each guild has its own unique way of measuring power based on its specialty and training methods. Your future within your guild will depend on the results of this test."
The students looked at each other, a mixture of curiosity and apprehension spreading through them. No one had expected this additional challenge after the trials. They had already been tested physically, mentally, and strategically, but this trial felt different. It wasn't just about strength or skill; it was about something deeper—something that would define their future paths.
Vardhan raised his hand, and with a wave of his fingers, a magical display appeared beneath their feet. The ground glowed with supernatural light, and slowly, a list of guilds appeared, each with its own unique power level.
