Chapitre 1993: Winners and Losers

Alex sat in the other room, looking around at the small group of people that were gathered there. He had been one of the earlier ones to be called out to the interview, so the only ones that had been waiting here were the ones that had passed the interview.

Counting, he came to realize that only 1 person before him had failed. That was 1 in 12. At this rate, only 4 or 5 people would be failed before the interviews were over.

That still kept over 35 people in the test. How were they going to bring that down to 16? 

Alex could only look forward to whatever was going to happen next.

More people trickled into the room, each one sitting by themselves in one section of the room. Very few people seemed to know each other enough to sit together and converse throughout that time.

Alex quickly began cultivating, ignoring the passage of time as more and more of the interviews were completed.
