Kidnapped?

The 4 highest rankers of the test were casually chatting about their boredom when a prompt appeared in front of them,

[You will be sent out in exactly 10 seconds.}

All of them stopped talking midsentence, other than Gabriel obviously.

"I guess this is it then. Au revoir," Astor quickly, announcing his farewells.

"I will fight you all eventually and win!" Mazet said with gusto.

Gabriel and Alaric stayed silent, only nodding in response to the farewells.

Soon, 10 seconds passed and everyone in the room was covered in a dazzling light. Everyone flashed into several directions.

The 4 highest rankers just as their light had left the premises a blue light came and intercepted them and took them to a different place...

Unknown room.

In a room that resembled a conference room, 6 people appeared on a chair each with two chairs left at each end of the table.

"What happened, where am I?!" Alaric vented, obviously frustrated, "if you have kidnapped me to threaten my family it won't work, YOU HEAR ME!" Alaric shouted with anger, veins popping out the side of his head.

His eyes turned bloodshot with ander. His usual calm demeanor vanished, along with his neat hair!

He looked like a madman

Everyone in the room were shocked with this scene.

Mazet was the first one to wake from her stupor. She surveyed her surrounding with absolute vigilance and when she noticed the unfamiliar surrounding of the conference room, she became restless not letting her guard down in the slightest

"We're still hear loudmouth, and the 2 top dogs of this test have appeared, what a bad first impression, tsk tsk tsk," Mazet said, chiding this normally cool headed fellow.

"My apologies for that terrible display of emotions."

In a flash, crazed Alaric turned back into the cool, calm and composed Alaric that they knew from before. Even his bloodshot eyes and neat hair returned to their former appearance.

"Let us address the two knew people in the room,who still have their face hidden."

Everyone who had not noticed Shaun and Dan now did. They had their face hidden and were choosing the settings on how they were to show themselves to the 4 other people in the room, who did not care if their face was seen by the world.

'Dan'

'Yes'

'Choose the setting where you choose a fake face.'

'Why? These people seem very nice. Especially the wild and on guard looking girl'

'This happened a lot in the previous timeline. People who were arrogant because of their good test score during this period but had normal backgrounds showed their faces so that people would remember them.'

'Yeah so?'

'They did not realise that this whole test was inhabited by powerful figures'

'I see where you are going but continue.'

'These figures would want to recruit these people for their future guild, as they knew this insider information because of connections, but because of arrogance some refused and then...'

'Disappeared?'

'Exactly.'

'Thanks for the heads up. Should I put a handsome face on or an ugly one? Even though my actual face is the textbook definition of absolute handsomeness, I can't use it. Poor them. Missing out aren't they?'

'Of course they are... Anyway, choose a handsome one. You need to have a good first impression so that they don't look down on you because of looks. First impressions are everything."

'Ok'

Shaun ended up choosing a black haired, brown eyed face eyebrows whilst Dan chose to be blonde haired, brown eyed face. Both were extremely handsome.

(AN:I suck at character descriptions. Sorry)

They chose to swap their last names even though they were extremely common. Safety first right!

The veils across their faces dropped revealing their two extremely handsome 'faces'.

"Hello, I am Shaun Smith"

"Hello, I am Dan Tyler"

The impression of these two people in the eyes of the others were good for first impressions as they were polite but they all knew that this all could be a facade so they didn't completely trust them, just as they did with each other.

All this friendliness was all just a facade between them. Even in the Spectator room it was fake. It was just a common understanding between strong people so they were not hostile to each other.

Each of them introduced themselves separately.

"How do we know our rankings?" Shaun asked the group of powerful people.

"Well we left the area where rankings are displayed but I can tell you your rankings." Astor offered.

He started gesturing to each of them, listing their places one by one.

"Mazet here came third and now comes up to you." Astor slowed down.

"Shaun. You came second place and Dan. You came first, congratulations!"

Alaric looked at Dan with envy, obviously jealous of his position.

"Now that greeting and all are all settled with, should we try and find out where we are and who the @$%£ kidnapped us!" Alaric quickly changed the subject.

"There is no way out. We can't even leave seats, let alone this room!" Mazet chipped in. She, whilst everyone was chatting, was trying to free herself from her conference seat but was utterly powerless.

She tried looking around the area that she could reach, looking for something that might be able to free her but there was nothing.

There wasn't even anything to strap her down. It was as if something was just sticking her down to the seat

She could move everything except her bottom. This did bring a certain phrase to mind but she quickly threw that thought away and focused on their current predicament.

Were they being kidnapped, if so why. If not then what would they be stuck in a room for?
