Chapter 25: [ Final Test ]
The group followed Jake toward the middle of the room, after a long series of tests that took them all around.
They had gone through anything imaginable, up to a written test. An addition that would help determine how good one is at tactics, logical thinking and decision making.
The middle of the room, however, was an open floor with markings on the ground tracing a wide circle.
Everyone stood around the circle, while Jake was in the middle of it, his voice echoing off the thin stone walls raised them.
"This is the last test. Raw power is good, but how well are you able to use it in a combat situation? Some of you might have less firepower, while having a better combat sense than others."
He raised his hand, signaling the officials to join him in the middle.
"Everyone here will face one of us, do your best."
Jake then left the circle, leaving one official in while looking at the pad he held.
He called the first name on the list, a girl who wore common clothes, yet had a wand in her hand.
She reluctantly approached, each of her steps slowly dragged toward the circle.
The wand she held shook with her hand while she bit her lips, right on the edge of the circle.
