Orientation II

The auditorium is quite rowdy with the participants discussing amongst themselves on how the exams would be conducted and the likes.

Scouts as well as bona-fide agents of the D.O.D walk on stage and take their seat at their designated positions.

One of the agents walk up to the front of the stage asking for decorum amongst the candidates, Sai notices the dark skinned woman from the night before seating next to Yakob.

"I wonder the kind of relationship those two share." muttering to himself.

Candidates sit with their teammates until all forty two seats are filled out then the agent spoke.

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I am administrator Markov of the twelfth faction of the department of defense, I thank you all for honoring our invitation to take part in our exams, I'm sure it must have taken a lot of guts to agree to take part in the exams, but before we get into the nick of things, it would be best that we went through some introduction so I'll start with the agents and scouts seated with us here today, from left to right we have; Dusik, Roman, Hela, Becky, Eric, Jemima, Zach, Yakob, Mae, Maryann, Marx and Hiyori."

The agents wave their hand when their name is called to indicate with the candidates looking on with little interest.

"Mae, huh… so that's her name."

Sai mumbles with Ilara straining to hear what he said.

"And now, we'll be welcoming a very important guest, the twelfth elder of the council, Elder Jeroam."

Some of the candidates let out surprised sounds as they are greeted by the presence of the most powerful figure in their realm.

He is seen with mild security as only two suited individuals follow him to stage.

Jeroam seemed quite young, looking like someone that had only just crossed his mid thirties, he dressed quite simply with the audience wondering if it was just how he was or it's because he didn't want to draw attention to himself.

The candidates settle down as Jeroam gets to the front of the stage with a smile on his face.

"Well hello everyone, I know I've already been introduced but I'll like to reintroduce myself without the bogus formalities, I'm Jeroam and I'll be personally judging your performance at the exams."

The candidates are quite worried by this piece seeing as though the pressure to do their best had just mounted and also cause it wasn't really a normal thing for the Elder of a realm to personally judge at the D.O.D exams.

"You all don't have to worry, there is no special reason as to why I've decided to judge the exams personally this year so put your mind at ease, just remember to do your best and never give up until the end and I'm sure you'll be fine."

Jeroam says calmly, Okoye puts up her hand like a child trying to get noticed by the teacher in a classroom with her achieving the desired effect as Jeroam noticed her outstretched hand and motioned to her to rise.

"yes, Ms.??"

"Okoye."

"Is there a reason you put up your arm??"

Jeroam asked in an amused tone.

"Well yeah, I was gonna ask if you would be the one giving us tasks as well as awarding points to successful teams."

Okoye asked.

"Oh well yes and no, don't worry you'll know shortly."

Jeroam replied.

"Alright."

Okoye takes her seat with her teammates casting her killer glares.

"How about we find out all those participating at the exams this year…. Screen."

Jeroam announces with a screen appearing behind him with the names of all participants as well as their teams, designated positions and also their power level as gauged by the administrative body .
