A Growing Threat

"The trial continues... for him," the announcement lady said, pointing at Klaus. The room fell silent. Everyone knew that once the 200 candidates had been selected after the fifth wave, the trial was supposed to end. So why was Klaus being allowed to continue?

A young man, confused, asked, "Ma'am, the 200 people have already been selected after the fifth wave. Why is he allowed to continue?"

"I don't know. I just received an order from the higher-ups to let him continue. Also, make the footage live for the public," the announcement lady responded.

The room buzzed with murmurs. Everyone, except the war goddess, looked astonished.

"It's an order," the announcement lady said firmly. "There's no need to ask any further. Get to it."

Just as the staff was about to carry out the orders, the war goddess spoke up. "Don't pull out the girl too."

The announcer lady looked surprised. "War goddess, the order was only for Klaus to stay in the trial."
