The Recruitment For The 69th Battalion [Part 2]

"Everyone, thank you for coming here today," Thirteen said as he stood on an elevated platform, overlooking the countless Wanderers who had answered the Central Government's recruitment call.

"Unfortunately, I am only allowed to recruit two hundred people among all of you."

Thirteen's declaration was met with shouts of disappointment and booing. With only two hundred slots available, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Seeing that everyone was eyeing each other as if they were each other's rivals, Thirteen decided to break the ice with an announcement.

"The recruitment process will be divided into two stages," Thirteen declared. "The first one hundred recruits will be tested for their adaptability. The next one hundred will be tested for their deep pockets—errr, deep passion for joining my team."

Cristopher, and Colbert, who were standing behind Thirteen, did their best to retain the calm expressions on their faces.
