Chapter 13: Leaders

When the qualification round was announced everyone that had come for the Selection all had become a bit unsure and nervous. When the announcement talked about starting the Qualification round Sia thought "I guess I will have to start praying for my success.".

When the Qualification was announced four people were sitting in a closed room that had all the facilities that a luxury hotel would have. The four people were accompanied by people that looked like their attendants. The room in which they were there was a big screen that looked like a glass panel in front of them.

One of the four people took a remote in their hand and pressed a button on it. The big display showed all the competitors on the first floor. The person who had the remote in their hand said "So these are the competitors, huh?".

The person who said that was Sunaina Singh. When Zara looked at Sunaina commenting she said "It seems that way. I must say compared to last year the number of the competitors has increased by a thousand.".

When Tia heard Zara she said, "Maybe the exams that we gave them have become easier." When Ananya heard Tia she said, "Or maybe the competitors this year are more capable compared to the competitors last year.".

Zara looked at Ananya and asked, "What is the male to female ratio this year?" Ananya looked at a digital chart from her bracelet and said "It's 4:6.". When Sunaina heard that she proudly said " Well I guess that would be the case, after all, all men are useless.".

When Tia heard Sunaina gloating she said "You hate men, don't you?!" after hearing Tia Sunaina said, "I am not arguing about this with you again." after hearing Sunaina, Tia laughed a bit and said, "Well I hope there is a handsome man among them who is strong too.".

Ananya looked at Tia and said, "You're always looking for a handsome man, aren't you?!" Tia looked at Ananya and said "You're right! After all, a normal man cannot satisfy my thirst." as all the leaders were talking to each other a voice referring to them said "I guess some people never change, do they? when Tia, Sunaina, Zara and Ananya looked behind.

The person who had said those words was a young man in a floatchair(Like a wheelchair), he was followed by a beautiful lady attendant, everybody looked at him. Looking at the young man Ananya said. "Veer... long time.".

Veer looked at Ananya and asked, "How are you?" Ananya looked at Veer and said "I am fine! How are you?" Veer looked at Ananya and asked, "Well as you can see." Tia looked at Veer and said, "How are you handsome?" Zara looked at Veer and asked "How are you? Are you feeling better?" Sunaina looked at Veer and said "Another useless man." Veer looked at Sunaina and said, "It's nice meeting you too Sunaina.".

Zara looked at Sunaina and said, " You don't have to be so rude, you know?" when Sunaina heard Zara she moved her head in a gesture of disagreeing. Zara looked at Veer and asked "So what are you doing here? Are you also here to recruit a warrior for the tournament?" Veer looked at Zara and said, "You're right!".

Listening to Veer, Sunaina laughed and said "Even though you're the one who organizes the tournaments your fighters have not even won once. What makes you think that this time will be any different?" Ananya looked at Sunaina and said, "Will you calm down a bit?! You're being too rude for no reason.".

When Sunaina listened to Ananya she said "Oh I forgot that you two were on the same team before, I guess it's natural for you to take his side." listening to Sunaina made Ananya angry she got up from the sofa and looked at Sunaina with piercing eyes and looking at her Sunaina also got up from the sofa and she stood directly in front of Ananya.

They were about to manifest their S-roots but as they were about to do it a woman in a black suit came in front of them, both Sunaina and Ananya jumped back as they were a bit shocked by the sudden appearance of the woman. Sunaina thought "That woman how did she come here?" and Ananya thought "That woman appeared out of nowhere. Who is she?".

When Tia looked at the woman she thought "Oh my! that woman... did she use her S-root?" Zara looked at the woman and thought "That woman isn't she Veer's attendant? She is fast at using her S-root.".

As the four leaders were thinking they heard a voice saying "Let's just calm down! After all, we have to supervise the Selection." everybody looked in the direction of the voice, they saw that Veer was the one that was speaking.

Sunaina looked at Veer speaking and thought "The "Man who sees all" he's called but this idiot never saw what I felt." Zara looked at Veer and thought "Veer Chauhan... even though he's on a floatchair he still has a warriors demeanour." Tia looked at Veer and thought "Veer Chauhan, he was on the final stage of being a Master-level-Mutator and he also has an amazing S-root... the "Root of the omniscient" his S-root allows him to see his opponents movement even before they've made them. If only he didn't get paralysed from the waist down.".

Ananya looked at Veer and thought "He's not changed at all. He's still the same.". Tia looked at the girl in the black suit and asked "Well Veer... who is this girl? Is she your new hope for the tournament? I must say she's better than your last year's contender." Veer looked at Tia, he smiled and said, "You're right! Her name is Alia she's in the final stage of an Intermediate-Level-Manipulator." Sunaina looked at the girls and asked Veer "It doesn't matter who you get because this year it will be the Maya that wins the tournament.".
