Chapter 395 - The tests
"What are this tests" Jeff pursed his lips.
How come he failed five times, he didn’t even realize he was being tested. But what are the criteria’s of the test....
"Hmm.....your first test qualifies if you are brave enough or not."
"When you are studying your under graduation in Country D do you remember a incident in which woman is being harassed. She has been shouting for help and you saw it" This is the simple test.
"Actually you are given three options. First, save her or at least try to save her by yourself. Second, look around for other’s help or call cops. Third option, pretend as if you saw nothing" Enrick said
Jeff remember the incident, of course he didn’t have guts to do it by himself so he called cops and when they were about to reach the destination he walked away.
"You have chosen second option....that means you still need time to spirit your bravery. And they decided to wait for some more months and test you again." Iris chuckled. She have also did the same thing. But realizing how weak she is, she started to learn self defense.
"Jean has also encountered same incident, she called cops and she tried to distract that people till polices arrive so that the victim will no longer have to fear what they will do for her in meanwhile" Rick chuckled.
"The second test is sincerity and helping nature. To help others these are the prime factors right. Council is bound to help the innocents from those terrific people so a person needs bravery and helping nature to do it." Kiara said.
"Some months after the first incident, you had a exam. The incident is framed in such a way that your close friend who was also your roommate is booked under mal practice because he is suspected as a culprit under leak of the exam paper." Rick said.
"As like before you were given three options. First, stand up for him and be a witness to prove his innocence. Second, try to persuade your professor but stay in the shadows so you will not face trouble. Third, just ignore it and leave the matter" Iris chuckled. She have selected second option just like Jeff.
Jeff remembered it. He is neither that brave nor selfless. He was indeed scared of getting into trouble. So indirectly he asked professor to help him. But later found out that there was no leak of paper at all and that was a small misunderstanding in between staff.
"Jean stood up for her friend and helped her to find a solid evidence to prove her innocence. So she won" Rick said.
"The next is revenge. As we know that all this ’I am into council’ thing is for revenge of our parents death. They thought of testing if you are interested in taking revenge or not. Because without it there will be no fire in passion to continue in council" Kiara said.
"So do you remember getting bullied and mocked by a gang of troublemakers in your college. They were not aware of your identity and they made fun of you in front of many people. Do you ever thought of taking revenge on it by some face slapping events?" Rick asked.
"As like always we are given with three options. First, plan a revenge and make them feel shamed in front of all the people. Second, complaint to staff and wait for them to take action. Third, just pretend as if nothing happened" Iris said and smiled. At first she opted second option but her inner self didn’t agree for it, she is already guilty for the previous incidents so she took a bold step and tried first option.
Jeff remembered and mocked himself with self pity. He in deed have chosen second option.
"You selected second option and Jean selected first. Though she didn’t get a proper chance to do best face slapping she at least revenged her pride" Rick said.
"These were only primary and simple tests suited to your age. This tests were like a preliminary for you to pass the first phase. As Jean got succeeded in all the three tests the last one would be little dangerous and it needed guts to do" Kiara said.
"When Kiara, Jean, Scott and Nathan went for a trip as per her big brother’s orders Kiara took Jean to a place where human trafficking has been taking place. Trying to save that people they too got abducted and Scott, Nathan tried to help them. .....but before doing it they have also informed to cops. As the council have a authority over these things we took into our hands and saved them." Enrick explained.
"But they have reached the expectations so they were asked to join the organization including with Scott and Nathan. After joining it they were thought everything and slowly they made it into council" Enrick explained.
"This is how Jean entered. You, Jean and Iris are tested in the same time but Jean got succeeded in all three tests at first chance itself, Iris did it in her fourth chance and you have failed in the first test...bravery. Though you passed in next two it is very mandatory to qualify in all three"
Jeff remembered the incidents.....first it is harassing a girl, next it is robbery, after it kidnap and other two things similar to these. But he was always not brave enough to select first option. Thus, he failed.
"This is what the council is, Jeff. Me, Jean, Scott and Iris are in currently doing this Johann mission and it is why I went to talk with Scott" Rick explained.

They knew he needed time to think and digest the shocking news. So everyone left him alone to give him a private space.
