Once everyone in the group was introduced as they all talked, Van, Max and Erika were mostly silent as the three of them were mostly loners. Even in groups they didn't talk much unless it was purposeful.
Instead of talking out loud with the rest of the group they silently communicated via Erika's mind link. They discusses everyone's abilities and roles while they all waited for the lines to get living quarters died down.
'What do you guys think about James, and Todd's abilities?' Van proposed the question because they were odd abilities to say the least.
Erika knowing the ins and outs of their abilities since she could remember anything James had experienced took the opportunity to explain the 2 abilities. "James' beastification ability should allow him to take the form of a humanoid phantom, boosting his physical attacks while making him intangible and giving him telekinetic powers however if he transforms fully for too long he runs the possibility of becoming a true phantom which would end his normal human life…"
"As for Todd's ability it's called Ark, however a major limit to his ability is for him to create anything he has to know the precise ins and outs of how it works so his biggest limit is how much can he learn and how fast." After this Erika stopped to allow Max and Van time to process what she had just said.
Thinking about it jame's ability of beastification was perfect for the berserker role, they just didn't know how long he would be able to play his role before facing repercussions. As for Todd's ability it was pretty overpowered as long as he studied hard they were all glad they didn't have an ability like that learning was great and all until it became a requirement.
'I think having James as a berserker would do great and todd would be a permanent mage depending on what he decides to study he may be able to become a hybrid and double as another role but I think mage berserker and mage suits their abilities best.' Max said after some thought about the possibilities and capabilities of the two abilities.
Van and Erika physically nodded their heads in agreement 'What should we do if we get split up during the trial?' Erika asked as she truly was nervous about taking the trial if Van and Max weren't here to go through this with her she definitely would choose to not participate in the trial.
'Depending on the terrain we should use natural land marks that are easier to find. Once we get our living quarters we will discuss the different climates and natural landmarks that appear in each and with your ability coordinating our rendezvous shouldn't be too difficult.' Max again replied giving more comfort to Erika.
Max truly had the highest level of leadership ability in the group that Van and Erika were well aware of, he had planned their escape that had worked more or less. Yet still for some reason Max had opted for Van being the group leader.
'Let's listen to the other contestants while we wait never know what kind of information could be useful.' Van suggested to which the other 2 openly agreed.
Like this they listened to the surrounding conversations while waiting. Elise, Lucia, James, and Todd were getting to know each other, talking about small things like the foods they liked and where they were from.
They we're surprised to find out that Elise was an elf because she looked completely human but she had removed her disguising bracelet for a moment to allow them to see her true form. They we're extremely surprised to see her go from beautiful to sinfully beautiful. They started to feel like they were unqualified to even breathe the same air as her. But she had asked them to act like the had been acting because it made her feel normal for once.
