Behind the door :
"We are progressing young man, on the table you will have to sort 12 things into living or non living, you are not allowed to break, cut or any actions that will show the internal layers of the element, good luck."
A stone? I checked the hardness, the density, even the colours, everything conforms to a normal stone. Well I'll put it in non-living. A little toad this time, is it anesthetized? I'll put it in the living. Once again a motionless little toad, I tried to hear a pulse, a breath, anything that would tell me it was alive but nothing that would put me on a track. But my instinct tells me that this toad and the previous one are not the same. What is the difference between the living and the non-living if not the exterior? The interior? But sorting them out without damaging them is impossible if the inside, the unseen part, is the only thing that determines them. I don't see a solution, I'll instinctively put it in the living box.
I'm not really sure that instinct is the answer to this test, so I tediously walked out.
At the reception :
"So how did you do?"
"I don't know, I just went with my gut."
"30 minutes with your gut feeling, you're very promising sir."
Behind the door :
"Young man, let's see how well you understand the laws that regulate this world. First of all the mathematics."
"Physics"
"Chemistry"
"Antropology"
"Sociology"
Shit, it's endless, 10 minutes for each topic, I can't take it anymore.
"Young man, you are free to leave"
"Ha finally thanks sir"
He reads my mind or what, he stopped me at the right time.
At the reception :
"Forty minutes, don't be discouraged, the day is over, you can rest upstairs, your room is at the end of the corridor, here is your key".
"Good evening ma'am"
Dad had told me that there were a lot of people taking the tests every year from 16 upwards but it's not crowded, there are only about ten of us from what I could see. But it seems to be working non-stop, I wonder what my aura potential pattern will look like.
The next day :
"Did you have a good night?"
"Full of questions."
"Don't worry too much, just keep going"
Behind the door :
"Young man, we are going to show you cube patrons while presenting you pictures of cubes, in which you will always have to choose an answer. The principle will remain the same during the rest of the test."
Here we go I'm on fire.
At the reception :
"Haaa spatial bullshit quiz"
" The test didn't go well? "
"I was so bad, that old geezer inside was laughing at me"
" Hehe it's probably because you were more impressive in the previous tests"
She says that to cheer me up, it's really sweet, I don't think I was that impressive.
"Thank you ma'am I'm going to smash this last trial"
