"Walk, I'll need to walk" Danzy murmured in a half awakened daze.
He was in a still state. Laying down on bed- it's been 3 minutes since he was murmuring.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
A strange ceiling caught his sight. Something which looks more than a material, something like a horizon.
Danzy raised his body, and adjusted himself to a sitting position on bed.
"…."
His mind was blank. As If it was void of hope to live.
Why do I need to walk?
A question he faced before burning out appeared in front of him.
"Where am I ?" He uttered in shock.
Followed by standing up, and observing the room.
A bed which was different from what he had seen, and a table, which he had only seen in slate.
" Where am I ?Am I thrown out ?"
Doesn't look like outside. Where then ?
He was hyper alert.
"Calm down.. let's see what we have now."
Danzy observed the room again.
It was mostly empty, except for a table and his bed.
Is that my slate ?.
Danzy noticed a slate on tabel.
He checked his cloak pocket,
My slate is with me. Then .. maybe this"
He somehow evaluated his current situation.
Without wasting much time he picked up slate and pressed his thumb on it lightly.
"Evaluation will be held at 12. Current time is 9."
With this slate blanked. Everything turned dark.
"What is going on?" He murmured in confusion.
"Was I picked up-after fainting… looks like it."
He uttered.
Tuk.. tuk..
He heard the sound of his room being knocked.
Shelter ?
Room knocking sound bringed back old memories.
Maybe officials are waking up everyone.
Danzy opened the gate and was somewhat prepared to see someone who would shake his mind.
Who is he? He doesn't look like any official.
Danzy scanned the person in front of him from top to bottom.
He was in a black cloak, similar to him.
"..."
"I was trolling in this lane, saw crystal on your door green, which I guessed-it says that the person is awake.
I thought about giving a greeting."
"Oh. I just woke up."
"I assumed." He chuckled
"I'm Reon. I'm from the outskirts of Ernhard."
"Outskirts?" Danzy wondered.
"It's in the vicinity of city. It is something livable but not pleasant." Reon chocked out.
"Why do you live there?, and not in city?" Danzy puzzled.
Person in front of him was someone with Remee more than 15%, he should've been in the city.
As per Danzy knows-those who can't accumulate any Remee are thrown out.
Someone who can, and is outside of the city. Puzzled his mind.
"Those who are born after the Emergence limit and complete first evaluation live outside of city. Someone like me. Although not after this evaluation."
"What is life out there ?"
" We can talk this out, after our evaluation."
"I'm really looking forward to it."
It will be an interesting conversation then.
"Will you like to walk with me? I'm planning on heading towards the place where our Evaluation will take place."
"Sure. But how do you know that?" Danzy questioned.
When he read all the information inside the slate it wasn't mentioned anywhere where the Evaluation took place. But this guy in front of him knew it. Which made Danzy wary of him to some degree.
"Why don't you try it yourself." Reon said
"How?"
"Step outside." Reon said.
Danzy took a step outside
"Nothing happend." Danzy looked at Reon dumbfoundedly.
"Take another step." Reon chuckled.
"Umm?"
"Hmm" Reon noded.
Sigh.
Danzy took another step, now he was outside of room.
As his step landed on floor, some information appears inside his consciousness.
"So this place is called Mansion. And we are 5 minutes distance away from evaluation place." Danzy said. As he analysed some notes and a map.
"Should we leave then ?" Danzy said.
"Sure." Reon affirmed.
Both started heading towards, evaluation centre, which was inside mansion but on different location from where they were stationed.
***
Danzy and Reon were in front of a large crystal. It is we called Rune- Rune Of Evaluation.
Danzy looked at his ring, it showed him time.
10:07.
Just 2 hours. And it feels like years.
After arriving at Evaluation centre there wasn't anything particular to do. Neither this place was eye catching.
Both were standing side by side. Lost in thoughts.
Ahn ! I forgot to check this guy.
Danzy was hit by a question. Last time when he had only glance at naming and hadn't put efforts to even try to remeber them, since it was of no use.
But since here is nothing to do, he thought about trying it.
Danzy took out slate and opened Evaluation heading.
He saw Reon's name on 3rd position, just after him.
16%
Reon's Remee was 16% on the list while Danzy's
was 17%.
This is guy isn't front city, but from place called outskirts. Do they have access to beds their too?
Should I ask ?- No. It will make situation awkward if I ask now.
"Reon. Are there dorms outside there too?"
"I won't say dorms, but we also have rooms there, since I don't know about dorm rooms. I can't compare both."
"After this evaluation. When you'll receive a dorm room please tell me, okay ?" Danzy plead.
"Okay, okay." Reon nodded.
If I can get idea about things outside of city, I maybe able to save myself if I am thrown out.
"Are you nervous?" Reon asked.
"Yes. I'm. Who won't."
"That's true."
A silence struck in conversation.
An hour passed, 2 other were awaken and arrived here. They followed lead of these two and stand near them.
Noone uttered anything. Just standing in row.
***
Whring..
An echo echoed. It was 12 now.
We are only 4 here. What about those who are still inside? Will they be thrown out ?
Not like what Danzy thought happened. Those 4 who were inside their room, in slumber, Were forced awaken by Nel and were laviated infront of Rune.
Nel manifacted infront of them.
Her body which was denser than anyone here was covered in transparent cloak.
"It is time for your evaluation. Before that let me tell you something personally. Those who will have Emee % of 99.9 will receive a special attire. Which is something household have hands on. If you are lucky, then you may receive it." Nel said in enthusiasm.
"Now then, allign in a row according to numbering you have received."
"Oh, I forgot to tell. Those who will fail evaluation will be thrown out." Nel chuckled.
