Zoravec Knew he had to watch out for his words so he would not make a mess. Thus, he was determined to ventilate his thoughts but at the same time he kept the actual motive low key. However, the jury understood what he meant and was implying to ask, Zoravec's sly yet wise way of inquiring impressed them all.
The middle one who had been constantly speaking smiled and raised his one hand. He deliberately clapped once and nearly 10 people appeared with some trays in their hands. Each of them had multiple small blue marbles, as the elder vampire gestured the men walked towards the applicants.
"Every applicant can pick one marble and place it on your palm, it will start to glow and burn into a flicker before it gets absorbed."
The vampire instructed everyone and gestured to the attendees to move forward. Those 10 men walked and catered a bunch of groups, the applicants picked up the marbles and they melted into the palms.
"Did he just completely ignore your question?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven though Blake was in pain he still could not help but wonder how easily and smoothly Zoravec's words were ignored. Whereas Zoravec chuckled softly and responded to Blake's question calmly. He could see Blake was angry and could not stand that his newly made friend was ignored that badly.
"I don't think they can ignore it publicly, I am sure they are trying to demonstrate what I asked."
As expected of what he said the vampires were deliberately delaying the whole situation so they could help the applicants enable the system. Zoravec waited for the attendee to come towards their direction and aided Blake in picking up the marble.
Blake took the gem from his left hand and inhaled sharply as it got absorbed into his palm. The attendee walked past Zoravec, it appeared they had been constantly watching over the people. And knew that Zoravec and a few other applicants had already received the rewards. It was obvious that one applicant could have one reward, especially that kind of.
Zoravec watched Blake's face keenly and waited for him to say anything, it was the moment when Zoravec noticed that he had dyed hair. The roots of Blake's hair were black while the rest were dirty blonde. Zoravec wanted to know whether he had accepted the activation or not and when Blake opened his eyes he chuckled softly.
"Uh? What happened to you?"
Zoravec frowned and questioned him bluntly, he grew impatient to know more about the system. Blake turned his head towards him with an excited expression, which made Zoravec become convinced with the activation of the system. Zoravec could not afford to activate the thing on whim just because it worked for someone else.
"This thing is amazing, Zoravec. I can see all of my statistics and scores. Although they are not impressive but this system thingy is probably the best reward I have ever received."
Blake narrated everything to him which he could possibly skim through at that moment hurriedly. Zoravec nodded and smiled, though he did not activate his own reward yet.
The elder member of the jury started his speech once again after all the applicants had activated the system.
"Excluding the special rewards received by the winners of third tasks, the rest gems are similar although the special rewards have some extra features which will vary according to the capabilities of the users."
The speaker glanced at Zoravec keenly as if he had been showing his doubt or perhaps curiosity towards him. However, Zoravec was still contemplating about the access limit of the system. The elder vampire gave a lopsided grin and came to the point which Zoravec had been waiting for. The whispering in the hall soon faded which was caused by identification of the special reward holders.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"The reason these systematic rewards are allotted is to make all of you all keep the track of your progress and access the basic information required to become a good soldier."
No wonder since they mentioned that the two system format differed from each other and had extra features. It created an element of jealousy and curiosity among the applicants.
'Hmm, it means what Clara daid could be true. But this vampire's speech still hadn't testified it. What am I suppsupposed to do now? Argh, they are making me work harder to speculate it myself now.'
Zoravec was annoyed by no progress and that his confusion was still unanswered. However he grew mildly impatient and curious regarding what was it which made Blake excited to the extent that he forgot about his broken wrist.
His series of thoughts got interrupted when the jury announced their dismissal. It was obvious that the news of the failed candidates would be delivered the following moment. Zoravec carefully heard the whole thing so he would not mosd any important detail which could possibly snatch his chance of becoming the strongest.
"The whole entry test has ended and since the survived candidates have received the rewards which is the official acceptance. You all are dismissed and can visit you homes now, the next call will be delivered to your places very soon."
Zoravec did not expect that because the only reason he joined the army in the further place was to stay away from Hecate as much as possible. But now the army folks were sending him back all by themselves. Zoravec could not refute and had to oblige to the order, which made him clench his fists in anger while totally ignoring that he had gotten injured around arms too.
"Also before you leave, ensure to attend the healing session conducted by our paramedics. Good day!"
The elder vampire gestured towards the door behind the candidates. Blake's expressions changed immediately upon knowing his broken wrist could return to normal. After all, he could not afford being a limp in the army or else they would exclude him the next time.
The vampiric jury exited the room the same way they all had appeared, by turning into the black smoke.
