Chapter 58: Test Evaluation
Three weeks later, Lancer Jet gathered all the Aspirants in an underground coliseum. So to say, this was a place hidden from the outside world. For some reason, they were all instructed to gather in the upper floor with a transparent glass at the front. Beyond that glass below was a pure white room that seemed incredibly spacious.
Glancing around the vicinity, Klaus spotted a few familiar faces; Miguel, Elena, Cecilia, and more importantly, the fully recovered Seraphim.
According to Yuki, Seraphim had regained consciousness after his last visit to the infirmary three weeks ago and was discharged the next day after a thorough evaluation by Nurse Vespera.
Still, he felt conflicted. He had yet to apologize for putting her in the infirmary for a whole week, and she might even resent him for it. Perhaps that was why he hadn’t been able to bring himself to say anything because he was afraid of how she would react.
... Maybe he was just a coward. Klaus has already accepted that.
Not to mention, who knew what would happen if he actually confronted her? The last time he did so, he blanked out for a few seconds and cracked her skull with a punch. He didn’t want a repeat of that incident, not until he fully understood what had happened.
What a pity. I thought I’d be able to apologize, but it seems I don’t have the courage. I didn’t expect her to be Yuki’s sister, though.
Thinking so, Klaus inadvertently recalled both Seraphim’s and Yuki’s features. If one had silvery-white hair, the other had silvery-blue. If one had an athletic build, the other did not. At a glance, the two looked quite similar, but upon closer inspection, they each possessed their own distinct characteristics.
He didn’t know much about Seraphim’s personality, so he couldn’t make a comparison in that regard. But surely, she had to be more expressive than the ever-expressionless Yuki... right?
With a sigh, Klaus refocused his attention forward as Lancer Jet’s voice rang out, commanding the room’s attention.
"Good day to you all. I’m sure many of you have questions, while some may already have an idea of what I’m about to say. Today, you will undergo an important assessment. It’s nothing more than a practical demonstration of what you’ve learned so far. Think of it as a mid-term evaluation. However, due to certain... complications, we were forced to move this up a little earlier than planned."
