Segment 13

The whistle reverberated throughout the whole of the Dharnum plains, and before long, they could see people from all corners of the field making their way back to the middle. It was getting congested so Curzon, Gazu and Jinjuso took off but Timothy stopped him in his tracks calling out, "h-hey i-is anyone going to get me d-down from here!", "well I guess I should be the one to get him down since I can just burn the webs", said Jinjuso as he hurried over, he then held up his hand his palm facing the webs and then cast a quick whiff of fire, then the webs turned to ash. "Sorry almost forgot about you Tim we were actually going to leave you if you didn't call out", said Jinjuso bluntly, Timothy then looked up at Jinjuso shocked and said "f-f-forget me never forget about me, and T-Tim why'd you call me T-Tim", "I won't and it's a nickname dummy," said Jinjuso, "I-it's just no one has ever called m-me by a nickname before," said Timothy, he then continues "It just makes me feel so happy", Jinjuso looked at Timothy concerned and said, "well no problem I guess, Let's get going", as Jinjuso said this they both caught up to the others and made their way to the centre. They made it back to the centre and to their un-surprise, there were fewer people than last time, but it was still relatively congested. Cisterna stood atop the rock as usual and looked over everyone that was there, she then spoke. "Welcome back everyone, I know you enjoyed the test, it was fun no?-", "You heard her it was fun wasn't it, now why do you all look so gloomy smile, SMILE", said Yoji with passion, everyone looked at Yoji and then gestured him to look to his right and before he turned his head, he could feel the daggers piercing through his soul, he didn't bother turning his head as her glare was too hard to handle. Cisterna then bent down and whispered something into his ear, and to everyone's surprise, he sat down like a dog on all fours. Cisterna then focused her attention back on the crowd and with a little clear of the throat continued speaking. "Sorry for that little interruption you don't mind do you, no? of course you don't, we are now going to see who passed and who failed of course", She continued "now place your two loaves of bread and fish in front of you please… come on everyone chop, chop place them down", the crowd looked at each other nervously Jinjuso and company and Kariya and company and also Kaizeen had already placed down their share with no problem they were one of the few ones who did. Cisterna looked other the crowd in pity and then said, "you are all very nervous yes? I know you are so let me just say don't worry you all tried your best, and that's what you're here to do, try your best, so go ahead don't be shy place down your bread and fish". One by one everyone placed down their bread and fish, some didn't have any to place down, but it ranged between them having two loaves of bread left or one loaf of bread and fish left, few people had the required amount left-back. But the ones that did had joy written all over their faces. "Yoji", said Cisterna "Yes mam" replied Yoji, "I want you to go look at who has got the right amount and give them this badge, showing they passed the test of conservation". Cisterna gave Yoji quite a lot of badges, then as if out of a ninja movie a man dressed in shinobi apparel appeared out of thin air. Cisterna continued speaking, "this hidden ninja will help you distribute them", she gave some badges to the ninja as well, "can you do this Yoji? yes of course you can now distribute them", Cisterna commanded, Yoji and the hidden ninja leapt off the rock and started giving the badges to various people when Jinjuso received his, he couldn't help but smile It was one of the greatest things that had ever happened to him he passed the second test of the ACERS exam. "Rival we did it!" said Gazu "we sure did," replied Jinjuso. After a few minutes, Yoji and the ninja returned to the rock and then Cisterna said. "All those who have received a badge raise your hands", a fair amount of people raised their hand simultaneously. Cisterna smiled beautifully and then said, "all those who have passed well done, and all those who have failed try your best again next year", she continued "If you have failed start making your way to the left of me Sage Miruluk will be here to collect y-.." as soon as she said that Sage Miruluk appeared to the left of her, "oh speak of the devil no? well make your way to the sage". As Cisterna said this, the people who failed all started making their way to Miruluk until they were all right next to him. Cisterna then said, "Ok Miruluk you can depart with them now", Miruluk then looked at them and said, "Don't be sad now, come next year and hopefully you won't end up getting whisked away by me again, now onerariis etherium", and with a quick blue flash, all of them disappeared. "Ok the ones who passed are here yes?", Cisterna said this as she looked around to see if any of the ones who failed were still present, they were not. "Ok now all of you follow me", Cisterna leapt off the rock as she said this and started walking ahead. Everyone started following behind her, it seemed as if they were walking across the whole plain. Jinjuso, Timothy, Gazu and Curzon looked at each other smiling they seemed ecstatic about the fact that they passed. "Guys we really did it, we can do this if we really put our minds to it, I don't want to do it but what choice have I got, we've all got to do the best we can", said Jinjuso optimistically, "Damn straight rival!" said Gazu, "y-you bet," said Timothy, then poking through their optimism was Curzon's tears of joy "I can't beeelieve we paaased" he said crying "SHUT UP IF I HAD KNOWN YOU WERE THIS MUCH OF A CRYBABY I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN FRIENDS WITH YOU!!", shouted Gazu. After quite a long walk Cisterna stopped at the entrance towards a giant forest, she then opened her mouth and said, "bye, bye everyone thanks for being such good sports in the test of Conservation, now the next administrator will come and tell you about this test", "Thanks for being of great service to my queen, cheerio" Yoji said this, and they started walking back across the Dharnum plains. It had already been a few minutes, and no one came to collect the participants they were all getting bored and started talking until they could hear a loud platter, platter crash sound coming from the forest. And then sliding out from the entrance on their black fanged Kanriff was Beast hunter Andar and his eye candy assistant Maliyah.
