The room was in chaos
The fire spread on the roof while water flooded the floor
A strong wind was coming from the room's entrance making the flame at the top grow larger and helping the water on the floor create waves enough to make a full grown-up slip.
A guy with an arm mutitated as a sharp scissor, accidentally hit someone in the cheek causing a small cut.
Seeing it, He step back wanting not to cause more harm but slipped cause of the raging wave hitting his leg,
As his body fell, the sharp scissor hit a large man's chest, the shirt it was wearing was ripped off and a long line coated with blood going low to his stomach could be seen.
Allen tries to left the room.
He couldn't think straight, his mind was full of thoughts about his ability.
Hearing multiple screams and his body being hit by the others who are panicking didn't help him calm down in any way.
Someone bumps into him and he almost falls to a sharp object shining at the waters.
If he had fallen he would have been stabbed just the thought of that made him snap out of his delusion.
Allen took a wild turn and look at Eva,
She's standing on top of the water thinking she could help him, Allen called for her,
He tried at least.
"He-
Someone bump at him again,
He look at who it was and saw a guy being controlled by the waves of the flooded floor.
Before Allen could react a flying body coming from his back, hit him and they both came down.
Water splashes on where Allen's body fall
and the chaos continues.
Eva watched it with no intention of helping, she saw a number of accidents that could have caused death but an invisible barrier stopped those events from ever happening
'How long will this last?' She pondered.
Minutes later.
Not helping the people showed to be the correct choice.
The damage on the room wasn't undone, the roof have fallen off, and charcoals can be seen drifting on the floor.
No one died, some people received several scratches and cuts but nothing fatal.
And with the amount of time they were given, they all calm down and slowly learn to keep their bloodline in check.
"Ahem!"
That voice gathered everyone's attention.
"Now that you know your bloodline, let's form you all in a group"
Eva said as a piece of burning wood fell behind her.
"Those who can use fire, wind water, any elements go here," She said pointing at the left corner of the room
Half of the people crowded at that corner,
And only sixteen people were left, Allen was one of those sixteen
"Those whose body can change, to a beast or maybe a refrigerator, someone with a mutated body get here"
Eva pointed to the right and ten people gathered one of them is the scissor man.
"Those who are not in any group"
She looked at the six and said
"Follow me"
Allen and the other five people remaining followed Eva and they exit the room
"We got your talent, your bloodline, your group, what else?"
Eva spoke before looking at the six who is following her.
They passed by the huge room where Allen and the others gained consciousness, the place where they all woke up after the test.
They exit that room and the great outdoors greeted them.
It's warm and the grass tickled Allen's feet,
'Is this real?' Allen pondered.
He looks around and it's the same place he saw when the suited guy guided him and the others
The time where he meets dev and Kevin, is meeting them real, or is it part of the so-called test?
Eva guided them.
There are rooms where you take classes, a cafeteria,
Allen even saw the class he took earlier, where swords lay on the table, there he saw the long sword he placed, trying so hard to lift it.
Finally having the courage he called Eva
"Eva!, miss Eva"
The lady looked at him and Allen spoke, thinking asking will remove all the thoughts clouding his mind.
"Is this real? or are we in another test?"
Allen(pov)
Eva didn't answer with words but with a smile before guiding us with silence until we reach the room where,
supposedly according to the voice coming from the walls, all ten of us will stay in
The room has ten beds meters away from each other and is separated by a thin curtain with flowers for design.
all beds have a small cabinet on its side which couldn't hold single clothes, this is bad cause it's the only storage our room has.
Just by arriving at the door and seeing all that, I took a deep breath and pick the first bed near the door
"Taken," I said looking at the other five who is slowly entering
A woman with round glasses and black short hair took the bed opposite to mine she waved her hand and said
"Hi"
"I'm Anna"
She's looking at me so I also introduce myself.
"My name's allen"
"Name?, my name is Lee" A guy behind me introduce himself, he got a noticeable accent, pearl-like skin, and a tall body.
Before all of us can introduce ourselves to each other the voice from the wall spoke
"All six of you are picked to be grouped, your group name is 'key' don't forget it please"
"All of you can be considered special, a one in a kind talent or trash, or both"
"Outside your room is the point shop, it's free to use even for Newcomers, it can help you with some of your problems, or just for entertainment, you know when your bored"
"Tomorrow is the real start of the training so rest well, I know that we got you in the hunting business without your consent, I mean killing you if you don't join us,.....ahem if you ever feel wronged for what we did, let me tell you this"
"The moment a civilian saw a monster they are considered dead, by the people and by the government, if you want to learn more...hit the library"
The message end and the mood in the room turn sour, no one introduces themself any longer or said a word
Allen knows everyone needs time for themselves including him.
Allen didn't dare talk to anyone, he closed the curtain of his room and decided to take short rest.
Everything is happening so fast, suddenly gaining memories from the future, knowing the world would end.
and now that I think of it...I can't remember about my past.
All I can remember is my future, but wait the me on that future doesn't train, he only starts when he turned thirty, does that mean he doesn't have this ability of mine.
My head hurts.
I can't remember my childhood the name of my parents, am I an only child?, wait according to the voice on the wall I'm considered dead, does that mean I won't be able to meet my family.
I don't feel sad at all, just confused
My head hurts.
A scene then appeared,
I saw a musky face unrecognizable, I was below his feet looking up his throne when he said.
"We got a deal"
His voice echoed in my ear until I lift myself from the bed my ears aching from pain.
"ouch"
I try to grab my glasses from the table near but was pulled back to reality when my eyes opened.
I swipe the curtain away and saw
the nine people that I will share this room with getting familiar with each other, talking, and laughing.
"Hello" I spoke awkwardly approaching them.
They gathered in the middle sitting at the two beds.
They looked at me and Lee called patting the free spot next to him
I sat there and listened.
"I was a teacher," An old man said "All my students die....an..and I survive, it hurts," He told the group while Lee tap the old man's back.
"Why did i" He couldn't finish what he was about to say as he broke down in tears.
"All my collages died when were performing live, I think I know what you feel," Lee said hugging the old man trying to comfort him.
I didn't hear the beginning of their conversation so I was a little confused about what was happening
Performing live?, is Lee an actor, I mean he has the looks so I guess he is.
All of them were in tears and the laughing I heard earlier felt like an illusion.
I stood up from the bed looked at the group and said
"I'm just gonna"
Anna stood from her seat she walks ahead of me and said
"I'll show him how the point shop works"
"Anna" one of the girls in bed called her name trying to reach her but the man beside the girl stop her.
"Please go," the man said
Anna walk out of the door while I followed from behind.
'What's going on?' I wanted to ask but before I could I was greeted by a bending machine.
"This is the point shop," Anna said she touch the screen at the center and it showed her name.
Anna Dillan
points:2
"you can buy stuff here, it's like online shopping, but with no shopping fee, it's great," She said showing a book which has the rated 18 visible at its top right corner
"Just bought this"
She move out of the machine and her name vanished from its screen.
"Okay" Allen approached the machine and placed his hand on the screen.
Allen Dale
Points:340
Anna's eye grew large
"Three hundred, you could buy a lot of books with that" Anna stated.
'How did I even get this much point?' Allen pondered but avoided the question and instead asked Anna who is dumbfounded
"How many did you get?"
"Ten"
"The others," Allen asked
"Fifteen and lower" Anna said.
"This is a lot," He said before scrolling the screen and it reveals everyday products, like shampoo, food shirts, and even weapons.
With no shortage in points and the most expensive item which is a golden Rolex costing six points, Allen can buy anything he wants.
So he did.
Bought six pairs of clothing, a wooden sword, six glasses each having different designs, and a small mirror, oh almost forget a larger cabinet.
Allen Dale
Points:332
'I only lost eight points with all that'
"You done?" Anna asked.
"You can go there first, I'll...check for more-
"No ill just wait," She said sitting on the floor near the door.
She doesn't want to get inside the room and needs an excuse not to.
It didn't take a minute for Allen to finish scrolling the screen and deciding to buy nothing else
"I'm done let's go"
Allen was the first to enter and Anna followed from behind.
"Allen what did you buy!?" Lee asked with a surprised expression.
"Why, something wrong?"
Lee pointed at the first bed that Allen took.
Its curtains were closed and light keeps flickering on its inside.
"What you bought gets transported to your room so, is it a bomb?"
Hearing it Allen couldn't help but react.
"No!"
But thinking about it he never bought anything that should glow.
Curious and scared that he might have accidentally bought a bomb he slowly opened the curtain
The tension subsided when they saw a large king-size bed. a huge drawer and a closet to its side, a mirror strapped to the wall, and a tip of a sword under the bed.
"Awesome" Seeing the room he will rest in took Allen's breath, it looks extravagant.
"How much does this cost?" Lee asked
"six points," Allen said still admiring his room.
"Then do you have points for food!?" Lee shouted to the guy but this time Anna was the one that answered him.
"He has three hundred points"
The old man coughs and asked thinking he heard it wrongly
"Six hundred?"
"Three hundred" Anna spoke.
