Chapter 14 - Eligibility Test

Seeing the leader bringing the syringe towards him, Arman was able to predict how this test was going to proceed.

And just as expected the leader came in front of Arman and took samples of his blood with the syringe.

After collecting the blood sample the leader went towards the pile of equipment's and took out blood sampling machine in which he inserted the syringe containing Arman's blood samples.

After some time the machine flashed a green color and looking at the somewhat relaxed expressions of the people around him Arman figured that he had passed this test. 

Even though he passed this test he knew that more tests were waiting for him and just as expected the leader again pulled something like a biometric scanner and scanned Arman from head to toe.

After that the leader proceeded forward with a bunch of other tests like brainwave checks, retinal scan, facial recognition, different health checks and many more.

After some time of checking the leader finally heaved a sigh of relief and said "Seems you are completely human and in a good condition as well". 

"Now that the preliminary checks are out of the way shall we proceed to the eligibility tests" said the leader and without waiting for a reply from Arman went back towards the pile of equipment's. 

After some searching he brought out what seemed like a typical lie detector in the form of a helmet connected to a screen panel seen on movies only it being a little more advanced and more accurate.

He swiftly bought the lie detector in front of Arman and asked "Are you ready for the test?"

"Go Ahead" affirmed Arman.

Hearing the affirmation from Arman without wasting any time he quickly attached the device to Arman's brain and proceeded with his questions.

"Now first of all tell me your name" asked the leader.

"As I said before my name is Shura" which was approved by the device in the form of a green light.

"So how did you know about this place" came another question.

"I came to know of this place from the information I obtained from someone" and again the device approved of this fact.

"What are you intentions in coming here" came another question.

"At this moment to get a proper place to stay in but the primary motive is to help others in getting rid of the zombies running rampant around us" which was approved by the device.

"Now for the last question, are you ever gonna betray humanity no matter what the situation is" asked the leader in a heavy tone.

"Never" confidently and resolutely answered Arman which was backed by the green light of approval from the device.

Hearing such a simple and straightforward answer from Arman made all the people in the room to smile a little resolving the previously tense atmosphere.

"I hope you stay the way you said" and after saying that the leader took off the device from Arman's head.

'Now that all that's done we officially welcome you to "The hidden City" but before you enter we would like to know about your capabilities so that we could put your capabilities to full use for the betterment of all humans" said the leader.

"I have served as a law enforcer before so I am pretty confident about my combat abilities and after the zombie incident i have gotten stronger than I was before, so I should be more fit to clear the zombies" said Arman.

"So you wanna be a part of the zombie killing squad" asked the leader.

"Yes" said Arman in the same resolute and confident tone as before.

"Very well then if you can prove your skills then you are more than welcome to join the squad but if we deem that your skills are not enough then you will have to be helpful in another way as we do not run a charity organization and useless or should I say those who have no intention of helping are not welcome inside here" said the leader.

"Very well then I will prove my worth to you all" said Arman.

"So how are we gonna do this" asked Arman.

"Well its pretty simple among those present here chose anyone to spar with and if you can display good skills during the spar then you can join the squad even if you are defeated ultimately and if you win then that's even better" said the leader.

"So I can choose whom I want to fight among all those present here" asked Arman.

"Yes as long as you feel like it" replied the leader.

"Then if it's about proving oneself how about choosing the strongest what do you say light" thought Arman.

"Just what I wanted to say, show them what you can do" said Light.

"Its gonna be interesting i guess" thought Arman.

"So if I can choose anyone among here then I choose to fight with you" said Arman to the leader.

Hearing Arman's choice the leader got surprised for a moment before saying " Are you sure about that, just so you know I am the strongest one present here and not just a little bit stronger but way stronger"

As of affirming his words no one in the room said anything against his words instead everyone had a wry smile on their faces as if saying "you didn't have t rub it on our faces".

Hearing such a reply from the leader Arman's lips curled upwards slightly and he said without hesitation "I can see that and that's the reason why I wanted to spar with you"

"If I had to prove myself then why not I challenge the strongest in this way you will also be ablt to gauge my skills and strength's" added Arman.

"Haha, you sure have some guts kid, but I warn you i won't be going easy on you at all so better be prepared for a thrashing" said the leader.

"Same goes for you as well" said Arman with excitement clearly visible on his face.

After saying so the leader asked all the others to stay far from them and stretched his body in preparation for the spar.
