BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1313 Guild Recruitment IV
Adrian already has a list of the targets as he has a list of all the players. In the guild house, he could control a skill to the finest degree. He only noticed this function when they were practicing for the guild war, but it is very useful in cases like these.
"Are all of you in position? Just like the first test, all of you just need to hang on for ten seconds. Unlike the first one, this test will focus on survival. If your health reaches the 10% threshold, then you will be sent to the corner there as there is still a comeback assessment.
This is a test of endurance and strength of will for all of you. Anyone that will pas this test will then move onto screening interview which will be held after all tests have been made. If anyone wants to back out now, then you may raise your hand." Adrian stated as he looked for anyone that wants to quit but there were none among the participants.
"Is everyone ready?" Adrian asked as the participants looked at him with anticipation.
"Asmodian Prowess." Adrian stated.
A powerful force came down from the world as a throne suddenly started to be constructed behind Adrian. When the throne fully materialized, Adrian looked at all of the participants as all of them looked horrified. They knew what that throne is capable of, and they know how powerful it was.
The only reason that the Fallen Knights guild being able to survive the first wave is due to the fact that they armed themselves with armor that has great magical defenses. The participants did not have the luxury to do so but Adrian is not that evil to make them kneel down.
"Do not worry, all of you will not be forced to kneel down as we want to see how you can hold on. Catch our attention. The ten seconds shall start when I sit on the throne." Adrian stated as he sat on the throne.
As soon as Adrian sat on the throne, all the participants immediately felt a heavy pressure that made them want to kneel down on the ground. Adrian might have excluded the automatic kneeling part but that does not mean the dignity of an Asmodian can be easily lowered.
Most of the participants have yet to increase their Persona level which means they are of an inferior species. Against the dignity of an Asmodian, the lower species will definitely feel something within them to show reverence. A lot of participants were forced to kneel because of Adrian\'s presence.
Adrian also made sure to lessen the effect towards the lower-level players. Adrian made sure to have a criterion for judging as the only players that can pass would be those that can defend themselves for five seconds. If the player could not defend against the damage of Asmodian Prowess by five seconds, then they will be eliminated.
In just three seconds, a lot of people are already eliminated and is sent outside the effects of Asmodian Prowess. When the players that lost went outside the effect of the skill, they could still feel the effects of Asmodian Prowess. It was not such an overwhelming effect compared to those inside the influence, but they still had this nagging feeling to kneel down.
Adrian looked at all the players that are left and increased the power. When the effect of Asmodian Prowess ended, only twenty people are able to survive. Adrian clapped his hands which made the other also clap their hands.
"Congratulations to all of you. All twenty of you will be able to go to the interview section next. For those that were not able to pass the test, we will now present you an alternative so that you will have a chance to pass this test." Adrian stated.
"Can we know what it is?" one of the players that failed asked.
"It is simple. Those that were eliminated by me will be able to pass this test by right of battle." Adrian stated.
"Right of battle?" The failed participants whispered.
"The Right of Battle is simple. You can pick any of us from the founding nine members and battle us. You will be accepted into the guild if you are able to defeat us in battle. The defeat condition is that you can lower our health to 10% just like what happened to you. Please click on the Accept button if you wish to do this." Adrian stated.
Adrian thought that there would be thousands that will go for this chance but there were only a hundred players that took this chance. He did not expect this as he thought that many would try their luck, but it seems people do not want to be slapped in the face that they have no chance to begin with.
"It seems that a lot of you have decided to forgo this chance. I will now ask my other members if they want to give anyone a chance. We did not tell you this but all nine of us can give a chance to others should we find your talent." Adrian stated as he looked at his friends, but they all swayed their head.
There were some people that caught their eye in the ones that failed but they lost interest when they did not apply for the second chance. Some that have caught their eye has already agreed to get the second chance which they could agree with. They would rather focus their energy on those that want this position that those that easily gave up.
"If that is the case then, we will schedule the hundred people that wanted to get the second chance. You do not need to tell us who you want to fight as it would be more likely to win if we do not know who we will be up against. For those that participated, we thank you for your time. I have already sent you a consolation gift for giving your time and effort." Adrian stated as he sent out all those that failed.
The consolation gift that Adrian gave those that failed is a rare tier Teleportation Scroll. He gave this gift as a reward for their effort but also a message to those that have great instinct. The hidden message for the Teleportation Scroll is that the Pantheon guild could easily procure an item such as this.
He wants the others that were disheartened to gather enough courage to try again. Adrian also attached a message to the gift notification that they can try again when the recruitment opens once more. He wants to keep the door open for possibilities as there could be people that can get a fortuitous encounter.
"Since my tests have been finished, let us move on to the support and healer tests. The twenty that passed my test will be subject to the screening interview now." Adrian stated as he let Levin Cloud and Peridot gather on the stage.
"All healers and support players! Please gather to me as we will now start the test." Levin Cloud stated as he looked at Peridot.
Levin Cloud made sure to be strict on the criteria for passing his test. He did not care if the healer or support player has great or powerful healing spells. He wants to see how they assess the situation via a simulation. The healers and support players were assessed on how they react to the overall party being damaged and when they will cast.
The healers and support players are going against each other via commanding clay soldiers. The clay soldiers will execute a chain of commands and the players will need to react. They will be judged on how they perform and there will be bonus points for those that win against their match ups.
The last test was held by Solstice and Lycan as they wanted something like an information gathering squad. They tested the scouts on how they could gather information and their ability to sneak. Solstice and Lycan faced the scouts, and they will pass the test as long as they could get at least one hit or make them go below 60% health.
The tests lasted for half a day which made the screening interview get pushed back to the next day. The second chance battle is also pushed due to this.
