Alex with his groups was now sitting in the empty hall on a bench while Alex was sitting on the back.
Both Mia and lily were talking each other and were happy and surprised to know that they came first.
The hall was quit big it has a platform,above the platform a large chandelier was present making the room look quite royal.The hall wallls were covered with clothes design of military.
After 40 mins about 80 participants were now present in the room,while Alex,Mia and lily were sitting on their position.
Instead of praising them
most of them seperated from all three of them.
Alex was standing with the jack who also managed to pass.
Suddenly eye blinding light came forcing everyone to close their eyes all opened their eyes the chandelier was glowing now above the platform same old man came forward cleared his throat and said
" So many of you have managed to pass the test, first let me tell you about the winners of first phase."
"After careful consideration and evaluation," he began, "I am pleased to announce the winners of today's entrance exam."
Arin held his breath, his heart pounding in his chest, as the old man continued to speak.
"In first place,"
.
he declared,
"we have Alex's group. Their exceptional teamwork, determination, and skill have earned them the top spot in today's challenge."
A murmur of applause rippled through the waiting hall as Alex, Mia, and Lily exchanged excited glances. They felt a surge of pride knowing that their hard work and dedication had paid off, securing them the coveted first place.
"In second place,"
the old man continued,
"we have Jack's group. Their exemplary performance and strategic thinking have earned them a well-deserved spot among the top contenders."
Alex nodded in acknowledgment, impressed by the achievement of Jack's group. He knew that they had faced formidable competition, and their success was a testament to their skill and determination.
"And finally, in third place," the old man announced,
"we have a group led by Kane's. Their perseverance and ingenuity have earned them a commendable placement in today's challenge."
As the old man concluded his announcement and congratulated the winners, Alex, Mia, and Lily exchanged smiles of satisfaction and pride.
Alex looked at the orange hair colour boy who was somewhat familiar as he have seen him somewhere confirming Alex suspicion Mia said
"Kane is my brother we both look somewhat same but we aren't twins."
Though they had faced fierce competition, they had proven themselves worthy of the challenge, and they were ready to continue their journey towards greatness, united as a team and prepared for whatever trials lay ahead.
With a solemn nod, the old man continued, his voice echoing through the waiting hall. "For the final phase of the entrance exam, each of you will be entering the illusionary chamber alone," he explained. "Within this chamber, you will face a series of trials designed to test your strength, courage, and resilience."
"Each of you will enter the emotion chamber individually," the old man explained, his voice echoing through the hall.
"Inside, the technology will scan your mind and create scenarios based on your emotions, testing your ability to cope with various situations and challenges."
Alex took a deep breath, mentally preparing himself for the task ahead. He knew that this phase of the exam would require him to confront his innermost fears and insecurities, but he was determined to prove himself worthy of admission to the academy.
"As you navigate through the scenarios," the old man continued, "we will be evaluating your responses and reactions, assessing your emotional intelligence, resilience, and ability to make sound decisions under pressure."
Everyone's group exchange goodluck and started to move in the direction old man has pointed.
Many transparent capsule with seat were kept next to each other ,full room was covered in wiring on ceiling there was the huge circular disc to which all the wire were connected.
"Everyone move to these capsule and wear the helmet and close your eyes."
Alex reached the capsule it was made of glass from above a helmet were connected to transparent tube of liquid attached to helmet.
Alex sits on his chair and closes his eye in next moment as he opens his eye he was no more in the same room but instead it was a white room with a doors.
Suddenly his father entered from one of door and from another room a beast came and killed his father.
His father started to bleed out and died infront of his eye,he was watching all this was first surprised but his mind was telling him it's all fake anyway.
From next door him mother entered the door and cried blood out seeing her husband died and pointed her finger at Alex and said
"You killed him."
There was no reaction from Alex.But Alex body inside the capsule twitch and a small drop of blood can be seen on his mouth.
In the monitoring room teacher and headmaster were present they telling headmaster to stop.
"Headmaster increasing the two much force will have effect on his physical body we should avoid it test has already passed by him."
Sometime before (15 minutes before)
As Alex entered the white room all were surprised because when ever a person entered in this place made by his or subconscious mind it always has some background which they love.
But there was noo such infact there was not a single colour in the room.
Headmaster who was watching this thought that something was wrong with capsule so he said to the man watching screen to increase the value of machine which fluctuate mind waves to dream as they want.
But still there was nothing changing but when Alex father died and he doesn't show a slightest of regret,pain or sad .He was sure machine has broken so he said to increase the value more.
This when machines show warning signs saying increasing more will harm the subject physical body.
But he continued, seeing headmaster not stopping to increase the value.They all started saying about various things as it is not right to harm Student.
Every student have already finished before 10 minutes.Everyone was surprised to see Alex still inside the capsule.
Machine was broken or not but headmaster let's his curosity over the head of knowing how this was possible.
Somehow teacher were able to stop headmaster before more harm was done,but harm was done already.
Alex exits the chamber goes to the gathering , of all participants.
The final round was not shown to public eyes it might contain scenes which they will not be fine after watching,but now they were all scene to public as the final round was over.
Somehow Alex managed to hold his ground until he reached the entrance ,his eyes started fluttering and became hazy, dizziness started to took Alex and he fainted.
Thud!!!
Maya jacks mother who was watching Alex as soon he entered was happy to see him again but as he fainted her face became grim,she knew something was wrong .She stood up and ran to him.
Student who were waiting and looking at the platform were surprised because of the sound all of them turned to look to find source of the sound.
And found blue hair boy was lying on the ground who was the first round winner,Jack was the first to ran to him tried to wake up him.
But no response came suddenly two girls liliy and Mia came too and tried to help by pouring some water over Alex face.
There was no response school medical staff came in view and were taking Alex with them only to stop by brown lady Maya.
She knew that such condition of Alex was because of school she took boy by saying she is his guardian.
As soon as Maya got the hold of Alex she was stupified seeing blood on his side of the mouth and clean it with her hand.
She was feeling warm because of heat emanating from Alex body.She knew this was not the time to give her body to her instincts.She has called granpa max about Alex condition and he came straight running.
At first seeing some unknown number calling grandpa max was deciding to pick or not pick,but he picked up and as soon the information of Alex being unconcious.
she also told him about the final phase of test, there should not be any such case.
Soon grandpa max arrived with his car and said
"Thankyou maya for being such helpful."
There's no need for thanks Alex is like a family member for us .
Maya decided to go with Alex.
Alex opened his eyes only to found out his view blocking by something he tried to remove them he gave them a squeeze only to later heard a moan "ahhh."
Maya was sitting on the hospital bed with Alex head on her lap gently stroking his hair. She didn't notice Alex has opened his eyes.when he squeeze these oversize things only then did she notice.
She cleared her throat and said to Alex
"How are you feeling,are you feeling any discomfort just lay there some more.Doctor has advice you not to move much."
She again took hold of Alex shoulder and put his head on her lap again.
She finally was happy,to get some special time for Alex alone.Well grandpa max has gone to deal with something you all knows.
