Chapter 149: Setting The Stage
’I’m tired of living in the shadows! I need to get away from this bastard!’
While Henry was making a personal resolution to stay away from Jason, the woman, Naomi, who had been giving an announcement before Jason arrived, cleared her throat as she began talking again.
"We will now be heading in for your assessment, and you will be divided into groups according to a predetermined standard. Please, try to remain quiet and orderly in the building. There are various SMD agents and superhuman Enforcers working hard inside, so no level of rowdiness will be entertained. Am I understood?"
Naomi turned to give Jason a hard look when she finished talking, and she narrowed her eyes at him when she saw him shrug! Jason’s arrival here had already made a bad impression on her, and from the way he was dressed, Naomi could tell that Jason was one of those rowdy bad-boy types who liked to strut around and cause issues for people with their very presence! Naomi already knew they were going to have issues with him before the assessment even started, so she would definitely keep her eyes on him!
The teenagers were murmuring and whispering when they heard Naomi say that there were going to be Enforcers in the building! Even though they were new to the superhuman world, the teenagers had also heard about the infamous Enforcers and the insane level of skill that was needed in order to become one of them! Other than this assessment, there was another separate assessment that the students had been told about. That assessment was far more difficult than this one and was meant for those superhumans who wanted to take a step higher in the superhuman world and become Enforcers.
Only one in a hundred superhumans ever pass that test and become Enforcers, but once you pass it, there was no doubt that you would become one of the Elites!
Naomi cleared her throat at the students, and their whispering finally calmed down as they all turned to her attentively. She looked over all of them and smiled slightly when she saw the young, naive, eager faces, but her smile died a brutal death when she turned to Jason’s mature, bored look. Naomi frowned at him before shaking her head and turning around.
"Come on then, children. It is time for your assessment."
The doors leading into the building opened, and the teenagers followed after Naomi like ducklings following their mother. As they walked through the pristine-looking SMD building, the children couldn’t hide their awe at how enormous it was! The grand-looking hall and the numerous SMD agents and Enforcers walking around drew their attention, and they became more and more excited the further they walked!
