Royal Envoy Recruitment (2)

North of Village Direna

"Cirbaly Hurian, Jilop Bian, Grandhe Sian.. several names were called as the test administrator shouted. While a bunch of youths are speeding their way inside the testing area of the recruitment event.

"There are a lot promising youths this year, but only a couple hundred would be picked amidst the thousands that are gonna take this test." Lufia said while looking at Azure who is beside her.

"Have you seen the youth your talking about? With the unknown physique "

"No. I don't have any details regarding his appearance but some of my sources said that, he would show up late today".

"I'll be sure to take that in mind. I'll extend today's recruitment event to a longer time frame"

In the amphitheater rows of chairs are seen around the arena. In the most upper part of the rows of chairs the different Commander of each envoy company are around whilst waiting for the participants to start the battle. In this selection it was based on the participant's talent that they would get to start in each round. In the bottom part of the chairs there's a man that differs from the rest of the crowd. This man was clad in black robe with a black staff as an insignia. This man has a snow white beard and a devilish countenance, he is eagerly concentrated on the platform in front.

"Verban, Make me proud" This old man spoke with a deep and rumbling tone. with a hint of Authority in his voice. Countless gazes faced the direction of the voice to see an old man clad in black robe.

The first round of the selection is the Endurance test. The participants will have to endure the most powerful mad'ouk presence that the commanders of each envoy are gonna give out. Whoever faints first because of Mad'ouk poisoning refers to over sensing and being exposed to high levels of mad'ouk that would make the participants faint and in worse cases death. They would immediately be placed last in the list for getting recruited in Event.

Jilarki Punan, Higar Piho, Sheng Wi, dozens of names were called as these individuals are walking towards the arena dozens of gazes were on a single individual. This individual is none other than Verban. He came earlier than expected with a trace of happiness in his countenance.

"What? Verban is already here?" Furias said with a puzzled expression. Verban told Furias that he would arrive late today and was shocked due to the fact Verban came early.

The Endurance test is administered by the Commander's of each Envoy. Each commander hold a tremendous amount of mad'ouk inside their body but they are not equal the Twelfth Commander being the First stage while the First commander being the Twelfth stage. Lufia being the strongest Mad'ouk user out of the Twelve commanders.

As the participants line up facing the Commanders they have determined expressions in their countenance that was seen by many spectators. They would have to face 12 commanders in this endurance test. If you end up being eliminated at the first stage you are good as gone and have no chance of getting into the Royal Envoys unit.

"First stage would be the First Commander showing off his Mad'ouk. This first commander's name is Filsgrid. Filsgrid is the weakest of the commanders but his Mad'ouk pressure is insanely high. As the weakest commander, the other commanders have high hopes of him coming up ranks. Due to the fact he stagnated as the First commander for countless of years.

"Who's ready?" Filsgrid said with his arms around his back with a proud expression on his face.

As his voice faded the faces of the recruits trembled but as the spectators watched on. The countenance of each participant contains determination and are confident with their own Mad'ouk resistance.

This first stage of the endurance test will be divided into three. Namely, Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. The Beginner stage would be commence with each commanders 1/4 of mad'ouk pressure. Intermediate with 1/2 power and Advanced with the whole mad'ouk pressure emanting from the Commander.

*ZMMMZMMM*

An ocular chant has been spoken by the First Commander after uttering the chant a pressure boring down on everyone was experienced. Countless spectators fainted on the spot while on the stage numerous participants also fainted. Verban was holding on his own. He doesn't even feel a hint of pressure from the Commander that puzzles him to the extent that he is even walking around and looking at the other participants struggling this is truly audacious for the other commanders.

"Look at that kid. He's so arrogant"

"Countless participants are fainting one out of the other while this kid is even looking at them walking around the stage with a carefree expression"

"Doesn't he experience the pressure? Even I as a Commander can feel this very pressure." The 5th Commander mused while other spectators are looking at Verban with astonishment painted on their countenance.

The first commander naturally saw the scence unfolding. He redirected some of his pressure into Verban specifically but to no avail Verban didn't even cast a glance at him while walking around the platform laughing to the point he even danced.

"This kid is truly Audacious to the extent he dances in front of the other participants with a smile on his face.

"This kid doesn't have shame" another spectator mused.

An hour has passed and around Fifty participants that joined the endurance test have been disqualified others are barely holding on. What's truly mind boggling was that. This is only the first stage of the endurance test and it's on the beginner's stage. The commanders on top of the stage are quite baffled with the results that they even harbour disappointed thoughts with the results unfolding today.

"This is truly disappointing even that Noble kid Huriet failed"

"Have you seen that kid Verban? He's currently sleeping in the platform."

"What? He's truly not putting this selection test to the outmost importance"

Verban was currently taking a nap in the middle of the arena while the participants are barely holding on. The first Commander is looking at the sleeping youth with hatred. Because of this youth his reputation is being sullied with this youth sleeping not putting his Mad'ouk pressure into consideration.

"The Beginner stage is Finished" The recruitment Host said in a loud tone while looking at the participants. The First commander retracted his aura and looked at the remaining participants with joy. Verban also woke up from the voice of the Host and looked around dumbfounded due to the fact that from the original Five hundred participants only a hundred remained.

"The first stage is already done? What?" Verban asked he realized he slept through't the first stage that he even forgot he was participating in it.

"The Intermediate stage would commence after an hour. The remaining participants can rest and meditate during this break while a banquet would be hosted. Everyone can eat and drink". The host announced while waving his hand and countless tables are seen and a Banquet has started. Spectators also stood up and ate even the commanders stood up and ate.
