Why do you look normal?!

(Unknown Location)

"Now can I invite our brave volunteers to make their way to the arena?" the clown politely whispered as he stretched out his hands.

Loud cheers and thunderous applause echoed through the tent as the crowd pushed and shoved against one another.

Four clowns slowly walked towards Sophie and each one was spurned on by the jeers and laughter from the crowd.

Sophie's danger sense kicked into overdrive as she felt a threat stronger than anything that she had felt so far in the exam.

She hurriedly backed away as the four clowns formed a straight line and stared at her with twisted smiles on their faces.

"What's this?! Why do you look so… normal?" the host asked with disgust. 

He snapped his fingers and four blue pills appeared out of thin air.

He waved his right palm, and the pills flew into the open mouths of the four clowns who swallowed them gleefully.
