As soon as I heard the word 'Yes,' all my senses seemed to forget about my captor and focused on the person responsible for my failure. If this person hadn't woken me up, maybe I would have found the right answer when I woke up.
Meanwhile, I noticed the captor counting, 'Six, seven, eig…' Why is the captor counting? From the corner of my eye, I see that bastard shaking his head in disappointment. 'Ten,' he finally says. Confused, I look at the captor, wondering what he was counting for me. Instinctively, I looked at the bastard as if asking for help, but all I received was a fiendish smile.
"Sigh… I really have tried for you, but you have failed the second test also." I wanted to say something, but the look he gave me commanded absolute silence and attention. 'I am confused.' Well, if I can't talk outside, I might as well talk in my mind. It seems to become a little safe zone for me, even from the captor… just a little.
"So, do I receive another benefit for the second test?" IQ120 asked, accompanied by a strange laugh. My anger surged once again. This guy is lucky we're separated by bars and distance.
"No, you didn't help in the second test. No one can could have helped him in the second one; it's an observation test," he said, still staring directly into my eyes. "It's meant to see if he would notice any changes in his body within a few minutes of waking up."
He continued, "Your benefits will be introduced to you by your observer," still maintaining eye contact. "As for you, MI123, here are your punishments: you will be assigned to a 'starter' and must provide them with full assistance in their wishes. Only after that will you have your second experiment."
I couldn't help but think, 'Well, isn't that just my luck? Not only do I have to endure these bizarre tests, but now I'm a personal genie for someone else? Talk about adding insult to injury. I guess… wait, what is a genie?'
