Chapter 100: First Mission-II (2/2)
”Finish your food first.” They didn't understand why he insisted, but they just followed and completed their food. After that they just left the containers there and immediately went outside.
”Hey, did you find any packages that are dropped away?”
”No, there are no packages. Seems like all of them are caught.”
”What should we do now?”
”Someone might have caught extra packages. How could our packages be missing?”
As soon as Hawk and others came outside, they heard a bunch of people discussing this. Hearing this they also felt puzzled. They also thought that someone might have taken extra packages and felt that it is unnecessary as one package is enough to fill their spiritual core. They even felt that it is a bit more than they needed.
”There is a deficit of packages. They only sent hundred of them.” When Sam said this, they immediately got shocked.
”You guys might not have concentrated as you are fully focussed on the packages, but I counted the number of birds. They even sent them in ten rows and each row has ten birds. That is why, I asked you guys to catch one immediately.”
By the time, Sam finished, there is already a fight between some people.
Those who didn't get any box started attacking some people who hadn't started eating yet. The people who used built the houses were the ones, that aren't able to catch anything and there are twelve people.
The remaining eight people are the ones who delayed.
Many people still haven't eaten yet and these twenty people started wreaking havoc.
Even though, their spiritual energies are low, the people who caught the packages didn't have much energy left as well. they are in the same level now and those who didn't eat yet became the targets.
Now Sam's teammates understood why Sam asked them to eat faster. If not, they might have been the targets for this fight.
As time passed the fight grew intense. And finally, all of them came to truce and shared the food and that is not enough. But at least they were able to get half of the spiritual energy.
Sam looked around and saw few people observing the situation calmly.
One of them is Luther. Sam knew why they are looked like that, because, they are also the ones who moved as fast as him to get the packages. They also must have counted the birds.
Only these few felt that the situation is odd and the first ones to find that out.
Sam's initial guess was right. The test here is not as simple as it sounded. Even before they got the first mission, they were already having trouble and internal fights.
That night, not only Sam's teammates a lot of people weren't able to rest at all.
They already got some inkling of the situation and they knew that this special branch isn't what they imagined at all.
They got really nervous. They didn't know what will happen tomorrow.
The next day nothing happened but this made them even more uneasy, they felt like they were on pins and needles. On the seventh day, they finally saw, what is coming.
A majestic voice announced their first mission.
”Attention all candidates, your first mission had been decided.
A total of 10 tokens have been sent into the Special branch zone by using ten beasts.
The candidates have three days to catch the beasts. The ten token holders at the night of the third day will have the right to choose, who can get the next meal.
Each token holder can choose other nine people and a total of hundred people will be getting the meal. The remaining twenty people will not be served with any meals.
From this moment onwards the first mission starts.”
As soon as the voice ended everyone became alert and started moving. They never expected the first mission will be suddenly announced and they only have 100 spots for food.
The remaining twenty people has to suffer and nobody has absolute trust in the people they were with. The first meals sent by the bird types beasts made them suspect everyone and they don't want to place the trust on other people. If they could get the token themselves, then only they would be guaranteed with a meal.
