Chapter 60: Placements

"Now that you have all seen your results… we shall now finalize this event." Damien Lawcroft said with a booming voice, that interrupted the many sounds that permeated the hall.

"As for those who aren't among the hundred, several doors are appearing to your right and left. Please take any of those doors and leave this hall immediately."

'Ouch!' Was what I thought as soon as Damien uttered those words.

These people were still recoiling from the shock of failing to achieve their hopes and dreams, yet no condolences were made, not even a few moments were given to the rejects so they could pull themselves together.

In unadulterated words, this man was telling them to 'get the heck out!'

I heard chairs shifting and people rising from their positions obediently. Murmurs and whispers of saddened people became the new anthem in the large hall as they all went toward the several doors that had appeared just like Damien said.
