Kapitel 100: Test Day 1 ( Test of wills) II
"If you guys are done kissing each other, how about you help us figure out what the hell is going on here."
A participant says with a gruff voice, reminding the trio of the situation they were currently in.
"What do you think??"
Animus asks as he rose to his feet.
"Most likely a test by the administrators. Though I never thought it would go down like this."
Ilara replies as she helps May get to her feet.
"What were you expecting??... A classroom exam??... This is the Defense exams missy not some high school test."
The angry female from earlier speaks up again but this time with Ilara paying no heed to her.
"They should have said something by now though, why are they keeping quiet??"
Animus thinks to himself as he walks towards the edge of the container.
"We should be careful, this place might be filled with….."
Ilara trails off as one of the participants steps on a wire with the others hearing the snapping sound and turning in its direction.
"Traps."
Ilara finishes as she heaved a sigh.
"Nothing happened, thank goodness"
The participant that stepped on the wire says with a calm look on his face as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions."
Animus says as he begins to step back from the wall after which water begins to leak into the container.
"Oh shut, water is coming in."
Another participant says as water begun to gush out from the four corners of the container in a violent way.
"Ah!!!!!.. What the hell is this, Do they want to kill us??"
May screams as the water inside the container begun to build up.
"We have to break out of here now."
The rude female participant from earlier on speaks up again as she attempted to break down the wall with brute force but there was no damage and her fist merely bounced off the wall like it was nothing.
"What the hell, why won't it break??"
The participant questions with a surprised look on her face.
"What is this room made of??"
Another participant asked in fear as the water began to reach up to their thighs.
"We need to think of something and we need to think of something fast."
Animus says with an urgency in his voice.
"If I'm right then…"
Ilara trails off as she attempts to use her sonic wave but it is hopeless as nothing comes out but a normal scream.
"Ahhh… what the hell was that??... Wasn't the screaming girl enough??... Now you want to blow up our eardrums as well??"
The rude female participant yells in discomfort as she covers her ear, Ilara and Animus share knowing looks before turning to face the other participants.
"This room is made up of a material that dampens Variants abilities."
Ilara announces with a knowing expression on her face.
"Mazedium, the only substance known to cancel out a variants ability if used in concentrated quantities."
Animus explains further with the other three participants looking at them with questioning looks.
"Wait are you saying that this room is made of mazedium??"
The participant responsible for the wire tripping asks with a puzzled look.
"Yeah most likely. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that everyone in this room is a variant, am I right??"
Ilara asks with the other participants nodding in the affirmative.
"Alright then, thought as much. So judging on the fact that everyone here is a variant and the room is made of mazedium while not forgetting that this is a test by the administration, I deduce that this test is an attempt to see just how good we are as agents without our abilities to help us out."
Ilara says with confidence.
"Wow, you seem to be really good at this kind of stuff. Are you some kind of detective or something??"
May asks with an astonished look on her face.
"Well yeah kinda. I was a detective back home."
Ilara responds.
"Anyways, nice deduction. You are quite smart."
Animus says with a smile.
"OK if you guys are done, how about telling us if you have a plan to get out of here because news flash the water level is currently at my knees."
The rude female says with an urgency in her voice, the other participants look down and in truth the water peel had rise close to their knees.
"Uhmm this isn't like a normal room with doors and windows which would mean that not only drowning but also suffocation will kill us soon so I say we begun to search for any clues or hidden latches which could be either a way out or a way to stop the water flow. Wither way start looking."
Ilara orders in a firm voice as the others begin to follow her instructions.
A minute passes by with no luck when all of a sudden May let's out a yelp with the others turning to see what had happened.
"I found something, it's a latch."
May announces with a smile.
"Don't pull it…."
Ilara trails off as May accidentally pulls it after which the water rushing in increases with force.
"Oops."
May says with an apologetic look on her face.
"What have you done??... Are you trying to kill us or something??"
The rude female participant yells at the top of her lungs.
"Hey, shut it. It was an accident."
Animus says with an annoyed look on his face causing the rude female to mumble a few inaudible things before finally keeping quiet.
"What now??... The water level is getting too high, soon we'd be dead and it's all my fault."
May comments putting her head down in shame.
"Hey don't give up yet, we've got this. Everyone keep looking and if you find another latch, do not push it immediately."
Ilara says with more urgency in her voice as she bites the water level had risen to her stomach.
Soon enough the water had pushed the participants to the roof with their upper body visible above water.
"So that didn't work out, what do we do now captain."
The rude female comments with Ilara giving her an icy stare which made her hold her tongue.
"Something must be wrong. If there's not latch or clue to help us out of this, how the hell do we get out??"
Ilara thinks to herself as she rummaged through her thoughts.
"What if there's a weak point??"
May asks jolting Ilara from her thoughts and causing the other participants to look at her raised brows.
"What are you talking about, girl??"
One of the two male nameless participants amongst them asks gruffly.
"Hey, lay off her. May do you have an idea??"
Animus asks in a calmer tone trying not to upset May.
"Uhmm no I don't. It's most likely stupid."
May says putting her head down.
"No. any plan at this point is a good plan OK. At least believe in yourself a little bit."
Ilara says with hopes of inspiring the young female.
"Well… I'm just asking if maybe the container is not completely fool proof but maybe has a weak point which we could exploit. My dad always told me that nothing is perfect and everything has one flaw or another which can be exploited so I guess I'm basically just applying that principle to this situation right now. I know it sounds stupid."
May remarks in a meek voice with her head still bent.
"A weak point, A weak point…."
Ilara mumbles to herself for a while with Animus furrowing his eyebrows to think for a bit.
