After successful Running out Before getting swallowed up yourself, you are impressed and happy that many people were actually able to reach the halls too, but still a bit puzzled on how they did it.
As you run out barley able to leave before the swarm of people got to you, you pray for the other people who weren't able to finish the exam before the bulk of people came.
You look in front of you and you see many small rooms. Suddenly, a soft dead voice comes from behind you and say "Hello." You jump from being scared and look behind you to see a dead looking lady who has the overseer's uniform. She ask you for you to follow her. When you snap back to reality, you follow her and apologise for coming off as rude as you are just get jump scared easily. She tells you to not worry about it she is used to people getting scared from him sneaking up on them when she doesn't mean to.
She then tells you to enter simulation room 18. You walk beside all the rooms and see the logo of the 4th family on all of them and you get a bit appaled but you kind of get that it's also the logo of their many companies so that's understandable, so you try to not think about it. You reach room 18 and grt inside as the dead looking overseer tell you good luck, you thank her before shutting the door. An AI voice tells you to put the VR suit that's at the center of the room on, you do as instructed. It's a small room, probably less than 25 cm2 in size that is all black and pated with soft foam thing that feel so good to touch. After you put on the suit, then the voice says in a cartoon voice "This will be an exam that evaluates your power so we made sure that this suit can handle your use of that power. So don't hold back your punches!"
As the exam starts you find yourself in the virtual world, it looks super realistic and feels realistic too to the point that if you didn't know you were in it. Afterwards you are put into tests that evaluate the way you use your vibration power and you get put in situation where you don't even know how your vibration power could be used to either solve the puzzle situation for example like the one of the hostage situation, or the ones where you needed to defeat or stun 10 enemies at the same time in just 5 seconds. After you finally finish the final of the exams you get an evaluation score of D- to how good you make use of your power.
You already feel down in the dumps at your performance but they already tell you that you did super bad, now that's just rubbing salt on the wound. That snaps you out so much from the virtual reality realisticty that you start seeing flows in the engine.
After that you find another overseer that tells where the exit is, and hopes that you did good on your exam. You walk very fast to the exit because of how frustrated you feel. You then quicken your step becauseyou remember how people might burst out at any moment like before, so you walk to the part that is one block away just for good measure. Now that you are away from everything, you sit on a bench feeling really down and thinking that you for sure didn't pass, after all, the passing rate of this exam is just 0.001% in total, and even lower if you wanted to get into the A class, but you still were hoping. You tell yourself at least now you know how good your are at using your power and how much room for improvement there is, but you still feel really down.
You open your phone to find that Kento called you 3 times before and texted you multiple times. You sigh, not feeling like talking to anyone right now so you get off the bench and walk towards a lack nearby and lay down next to a tree next to it. You look at the sky. You knew this outcome had the highest possibility of happening. You didn't study or practice, yet you had hope that maybe you would have passed. You knew that you would probably not enter the A class, but at least you might have entered the D class and claimed the ranks. You try to remember what you were thinking before you did this, but it all feels like a blank to you. You close your eyes and try to think and relax for a bit. After a while for just laying there, you get up and call your mum. She answered the phone after a bit of ringing and greets you and asks how you did on your exam. In a bumd voice, you tell her the last result you got of D-. She now sounds upset too, but for you being upset yourself and trys to cheer you up. You thank her and tell her you will be back at the motel soon and that you have to go now. She tells you to get back there safe as you both hang up. You look at your call logs and see Kento and decide to call him back after all. You call him back and he says "Saif, are you okay, did you get out of the ropes or are you still stuck?" You reply "I don't think I would be able to call you if I was still stuck now would I." He replies "Good point." He notices how down your voice sounds and then says "I am really sorry I was such a burden and I costed you not being able to enter the exam hall. I am sorry, I know that you were hoping to enter the A class but I was so useless when you needed help from those ropes and I-..." You interrupt him and tell him that you did enter the exam hall. He gasps in shock.
