"Listen up, maggots! Today, all of you will die!!" The loud voice of the officer on the podium boomed like an explosion and a still silence descended on the surroundings.
Even Huey's expression twitched. He found the unnecessarily loud voice a nuisance for his sensitivity ears.
Meanwhile, the expression of others froze and turned pale. The appearance of the man alone had been enough to oppress them. His presence spread like a wave over the area and all of the previous nervous murmurs and chatter of the applicants who were nervously awaiting the start of the exam creased completely.
Those with weaker resistance and fortitude couldn't didn't even dare to breath and held their breaths short.
His sudden opening was enough time fill them with not only confusion, but dread.
Huey could see some of their faces crumpling, and Lyra was amongst the many.
