"THE FIRST PHASE OF THE SELECTION HAS COME TO A FINISH!" A loud voice rang out the moment the timer finished counting down. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 The participants that had managed to make it to their designated strips before the timer ran out had looks of reliefs after hearing this. They listened to the next set of instructions from the voice for the next few seconds while the participants who failed to make it to their designated strips before time were getting teleported out of the region. They had been automatically disqualified at this point. This was the first phase of the selection and the number of participants went down from over a thousand to around four hundred at the end. Lots of MBO officers had failed to get to this point as well as participants from other organisations. It wasn't even a problem of strength as those with standard ranked bloodlines failed to pass this stage due to intelligence. The voice mentioned that there were only two more phases left as the selection had a total of three phases. "THE NEXT PHASE WILL BE BEGINNING SHORTLY..." The voice ended with this before they were transported to a different location via teleportation. Zing! Zing! Zing! Zing! Everyone found themselves arriving in a dimly lit environment with with walls. It looked like they were in some type of waiting room. They settled down on the seats prepared for them and the environment turned rowdy. There were still over four hundred participants left so the vicinity seemed a bit crowded. There were participants observing one another and making analysis based on what they had witnessed so far from the other participants. While they were here the dude Endric had saved kept voicing out his appreciation repeatedly. Endric didn't know how to take it since this was like his first time actually saving someone besides getting sent on secret missions where in those cases the citizens never found out they were saved. All he could think of was, 'Atonement,' At the time when the participant was getting jumped, he couldn't help but recall one person. This person had gone through the same situation in the past and he ignored the ones he witnessed, choosing not to act. This time he decided to do the opposite. While they waited, Aildris had already taken note of a few groups that had the same number of people they started with. These groups were not missing a single person. He felt this proved that there were to watch out for. "A lot of them are from different private organisations... some of the most prestigious in the world," Aildris muttered. "Tomhanks Will Bloodline Organisation is here as well... they specialise on bloodlines that mostly have Telekinesis and telepathy type of abilities," Falco disclosed. "Oh? So like Endric?" Matilda said while turning to the side to stare at Endric. Everyone stared at him as well. "Hmm?" Endric had missed Falco words when he mentioned the private organization so he was confused as to why they were staring at him. "Pretty much I guess," Falco responded. "But there's also Expansion Mixedblood College, Gradient Mount, Detection..." Falco began to mention the others as he looked around. Everyone listened while also wondering how Falco was so informed about all these. It looked like he really did research on the other organisations participating in the selection. "There is no doubt they'd be able to do well in specific areas better than others and since we're gonna be dealing with multiple people mostly using the same type of abilities they're collective force would be powerful. We have to be careful," Falco warned. While they were analysing the others, the others were analysing them as well as other people that might be dangerous. Some of the private organizations were good at assessment so they already took notice of the MBO officers that would be difficult to take care of in the future phases. They were practically undergoing situations the MBO officers had experience in and were well trained for so they knew they had to be prudent enough. 'I knew they would make it here... without a single casualty too...' A person watching from far behind thought as they stared in the group's direction. -Few minutes later "Hey Newbies," They heard a voice call out from the side as a group of people walked over. They were four in number, three males and one female. Two of the males had the exact same body features and looks. Ashen white face and ram horns with a seven foot tall frame and muscular bearing. They had black tails protruding from their rear side and it was obvious they were twins. The other male was around five foot tall in height with a long goatee and braided brown hair. While he was the shortest he bore a kind of demeanour that depicted he was the leader. The only girl in their midst was the largest even looking more muscular than the twins. She seemed a bit taller than them as well and had a very busy frame and surprisingly beautiful but mean looking face. They set off their bloodline energy to incite intimidation as they approached. "Hmm?" Aildris stared at these mixedbloods with officer uniforms. "I heard that someone among you was responsible for saving a bloke from a private organization," The shortest on in their midst voiced out with a deep tone. Endric was about to step forward but before he could, Aildris stood in front of him and approached the upcoming group. "So what?" He questioned without showing a shred of intimidation on his face. "Oh? Was it you blind bastard?" The short one asked while looking up at Aildris as he arrived in front of him. He could see that Aildris eyes were closed and Aildris was also over seven feet tall so he was towering far above this short officer. "What if it was? So what?" Aildris questioned again with an undisturbed tone. The other three stepped forward as well with strong looks standing side by side.
