Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 571  Success or Failure?

Little by little, everyone stepped forward and did as were told. But whether they passed or not was a mystery to them.

Some noticed various streaks of color when touching the orbs, and others noticed bold singular colors that engulfed the balls.

But what they didn't know was that if they had no talent for exorcism, the ball would still light up, however, it would show a creamy grayish color. Bear in mind that there was a difference between having the ball light up with a cream-grayish color and having the ball light up with a pure white color. That being said, innate talents were not the only things tested here. The orb assessed over 10 other requirements, digging deep into their very souls, as well as sensing their luck, divine blessings, Soul force, and many other things. Do you know that only by getting a specific soul force number can one actually be able to exorcize any underworld creature?

Soul force can also be improved upon once one starts cultivating. However, the soul force when in their mortal state was a true indicator of whether they could do the job or not. Know that if they aren't at the standard now and actually cast a spell, it could have so much backlash, killing them instantly.

But someone like Khalea who already had a strong soul force, can chant alongside Dorian now and nothing would happen to her. She would only feel dizzy and lightheaded.

Sorry, not everyone can be an exorcist. The world still needs doctors, engineers, fishermen, and whatnot.

That being said, a person must pass all 10 requirements to get into the academy. And the orb accesses everything in a millisecond before emitting its vibrant light.

…

From the moment the first 7 finished the tests, they were asked to leave the same way they came. Khalea now found herself standing outside the open military space with many others but didn't feel like moving away from the tint tent they just came out from. Was it all a dream?

2 hours later, everyone was out, with the tent now shrinking and shrinking until it vanished like a popped bubble.

Plop!

–Silence–

(Q0Q)

Everyone stood in utmost silence for another minute, just staring at the space in a daze.

Where was the grandmaster? Where were the academy elders and disciples that came earlier?

It was only when Dalahali explained, that several people realized they had gone back to the East using the other portal. Boom!

It finally kicked in.

All the pent-up emotions they hide during this time of testing, now took over their bodies. Now, everyone's legs were wobbling and quaking as they allowed their butts to touch the now-cleaned up grounds that were maggot and creature-free after the exorcism was done. "Dammit! Explain yourselves, Vardos Country! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?"

Everyone's space was now loud with emotions, yelling at the top of their lungs, mostly due to fear. "Please! Please!" Harry quickly raised his hands toi call for silence. And with the unique coin in his hand, he found that his voice could travel throughout the far ends of the space.

"Everyone, our time is limited! Have you all not noticed that while in here, we can understand and now speak the same language?"

Several people grabbed each other, looking left to right with dumbfounded expressions.

"Everyone, we have only 3 hours before the spell wears off. Know that whatever we discuss now, will not reach the enemy."

Yes, the formation will vanish in 3 hours. So do they want to waste time arguing, or do they want to talk!

Know that once the spell goes done, who can guarantee that even the birds in the skies aren't monsters listening in on them?

Typically, one should be hungry or thirsty by now. But after the disgusting display they witnessed earlier, they honestly felt they might never eat again in their lives!

Breathing heavily, everyone quickly quieted down. And those who still wanted to cause a scene, were now stared at with vicious looks from those around them.

"I dare you to speak! Try it and see what happens next!"

"Everyone, do you all remember the incident that took place in my Vardos country when several live streamers went missing?"

Yes… yes, they did. Many, including the vardos police officers here nodded deeply. It was a world catastrophe, with everyone in the world shaming the Vardos police and military forces. Other countries came in to help, but were also shamed by the media when they couldn't find a single clue about the perpetrator.

"Good… Everyone, I give you 6 out of 12 of those live streamers who also came to take the test."

Instantly, Jenny, Chris, Emily, Rudolf, and Bianca, now stepped forward, seemingly more mature than how they were before that unfortunate event. And soon, they retold all that they experienced. To say that the onlookers didn't feel stabs of terror in their guts would be a lie.

Mommy… The tale was more chilling, especially when imagining it and taking reference of how those creatures would look after witnessing what they saw today.

Terrible! Terrible!~

Are you saying for decades, centuries and thousands of years, people have gotten lured and trapped in there just for fun? Prey… yes, that's what those monsters said. They were prey and could be eaten anyway these monsters liked.

Following this, Obediah's group, alongside several military people, biologists, archeologists, and explorers, also came out to talk on the recent Horseman incident in Cygypt. At this point, even the Vardos people felt a wave of acid well up in their bellies the more they listened.

The superiors who questioned why Obediah and several others had placed influential people like Bohania and Eldora in military prison, were no longer against the matter.

Dammit!

So just because her father is rich, Eldora feels she can sacrifice people to these monsters at will?

Indeed, such people should be locked up because they might one day sell humanity to these monsters. Imagine if they came out with a plan to secure their victory and then, that said plan gets leaked out in the end by such people…. How do you think they would feel?

1 year and a few months… they just needed to keep her under military house arrest for this time until the war ends. At this point, everyone clenched their fists, not wanting to risk it. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

For humanity's sake, failure was not an OPTION!
