Evaluation Hall (4)

The elder took the heir's ring and began inspecting it, just like the rest he observed it intently, his gaze sharp and focused.

But this time it was different, even though the time taken to determine the amount of hearts he had didn't change the expectations that rode on Zane were different.

He was the heir of the Hachiman clan, everyone was eager to see how he would perform in this test, his score was important.

"Ninety hearts." The elder announced.

Nobody made any noise, this was expected after all, if Zane got a lower number of hearts; presumably 50 or lower, then the reaction would be different.

Zane walked over to the group, hands in pockets. He passed Jason.

"Ninety." Jason muttered as he watched him walk past.

He stared at the person that would get second place, anyone with a working brain would be able to do the math, who would get first, second and third were already known.
