the level 13 quicky started after the end of level 12 which is very exhausting but the only benefit of this is focus and being awake.
in level 13 the players were given a choice a choice to choose any of their talent or master subject on which they would have a test and if they fail, they will be punished and if they pass, they will directly jump on level 15 without playing level 14 which is one step closer in achieving your goal
this talent can be anything like, swimming, chess, mathematics anything which is in interest of the player the only advantage is you will not be killed by the game in any case
you just have to show your talent for which you will be benefited.
now everyone has to write their talent on chit of the paper and fold it into small and put in a glass bowl no one is allowed to tell their talent to another player
after sometimes the guard called each one of the players to proceed with their talent and in some cases, there were two people with same talent so they will play against each other
as they were college students it was very obvious that there can be two or more people of same talent which made the game to have this level as benefit for the players but since it is still a game and if you lose against your opponent, you will be punished
the first two people to go against each other were in archery where sook was against Neesa
Duri chooses chess while other people according to theirs
Alex chooses boxing and lily choose art
the game started,
passion and talent both are different things, the purpose of this level was to bring out the creativity the worth to show to realize that why you all were depressed when you have your talent in you! why were you depressed and chose to play? what held you back then?
these were the question valid while seeing everyone working so hard to prove their worth by talent this was the same thing you could have done back then it doesn't matter how small your talent is this is what makes you different and unique
the level teaches us this but still the hard work which players were doing for survival they could have done the same in their real life to, by taking your talent to higher level you could be happy even without the money
your own talent would have brought you money, but the game teaches this in the hard way as this simple quote is now worth life and death in blue whale game.
the result of this level is that Alex won, again.
no one's art is as beautiful as lily's.
Duri won in chess, while sook lost against Neesa
Duri's eyes widen has he heard the results, tears dropping from his eyes while seeing his very friend sook standing beside losers
Duri's head is still down he is afraid that something might happen to sook he is frozen standing on his place he could not see sook clearly with tears in his eyes as he wipes his tears his eyes widen more when he saw sook's smiling face "he is still smiling?" says Duri with confused and gloomy face
Duri smile's back even when he knows what's going to happen, he starts to think about all the memories he has with sook from the beginning of the game till now
"He never takes off his smile" says Duri in his mind while sook showed a thumbs up to him saying "don't worry, I'll be fine"
sook's last words before-
Jon killed him.
