After a full hour, the noises started dying down.
I slightly removed my hands from my ear to hear what others are talking about, but everything was quiet. Confused, I looked around, there were 7 other people standing separately from each other. They were all looking at the sky with confused gazes. Following their gazes, I looked at the sky-

( Terra's pov )
" Only 8 people , I expected more."
Sigh... this is going to be difficult. Only this much won't do.
what to do?.
All others are wastes, I have to make do with this.
" Greetings. I am Earth Spirit or you can call me Terra or Gaia."
Hmm... what's with that look? It looks like they don't believe me, fine. Let's show them a bit of my power.
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure enveloped everyone making their face pale.
"Krughh.."(Everyone)
" I believe you all should have come back to your senses after tasting a bit of power. Before you all ask any question let me tell you some important stuff, then I will answer your questions."
Let's form a big round table with nine seats ,
Hmm.. some tea and some snacks and yeah right, some decoration for my taste.
" Take a seat everyone."
Everyone took their respective seat and waited for Terra or earth spirit to take a seat and begin explanation. All of them still has shocked and terror filled expression visible on their faces, enduring only a bit of Terra's pressure made them obedient like little puppies.
" The reason I conducted the trial is to choose individuals who will lead humanity's forces to war against prisoners. First I selected peoples with strong willpower between the age group of 16 to 25 and took them in this dream space to sort out individuals who have greater adaptability and combat sense. Any questions?."
Silence.
Are they still horrified about what happened before? Let's give them some time to sort things out.
"krunch..."(Rudra)
Well... at least someone is responding. Others are just frozen on the spot and staring at me. Let's wait for five more minutes.
"Krunch.."(Neon)
"krunch.."(Andrew)
"Krunch.."(Everyone)
Are they really focused on snacks instead of listening to me? Or are they just trying to copy that kid to act normal? Humans are weird. Anyway, it's not like I haven't seen more weird humans than them.
After 5 minutes..
"Umm.. Mrs. Terra can you repeat what you said earlier about the reason you called us here."(Rudra)
FINALLY we are on the topic, I thought they only know how to eat like pigs while making noises.
" Like I said before I conducted this trial to choose individuals who will lead humanity to war against Prisoners."
" Who are these prisoners?"(Andrew)
" As you all know, Earth and this solar system don't have mana. Mana is the same as you may have read in fantasy novels or games. It is the main element used in magic. I presume you all must have knowledge about mana."
"Yes!"(Everyone)
" Good. This will be easy then, the reason mana doesn't exist on earth is because of these prisoners that are imprisoned in the Hidden Realm. The seal used to seal an entire realm sucked all the mana in the whole solar system. Still it wasn't enough to seal them away in the Hidden Realm, so the forces of outer universe used thousand of Legend grade Mana stones and one Mythical grade Mana stone to complete the seal."
" If they are imprisoned in the Hidden Realm then why do we need to kill them?"(Anna)
" The reason why we need to kill them all is because the seal is weakening. Mana stones used to complete the seal are all dried up, meaning the seal will be broken in nearest time period."
" Can't we contact outer universe people to kill them?"(Neon)
" I tried but no response came since last decade. Otherwise I wouldn't have initiated this trial."
" How can we kill them?, there must be a reason old people imprisoned them but not killed them."(Rudra)
" You don't need to worry I will help you in killing them. As for the reason they didn't directly kill them is because..
