Draxus was standing in front of Flashy, ready to face the men attacking the slave.
Flashy was still lying on the ground, watching Draxus being heroic.
"Stop with the staring, you moron. Run away. Hide. Do something. Go to Czar."
"Oh. Right. Sorry. You carry on." Flashy slapped his face, stood up and from the sidelines, he ran away.
Although, he took off his shirt and covered his face with it.
Now he just hoped no one would recognise him.
He tiptoed his way on the ground like a scared cat and looked for a safe spot.
He walked and walked and walked until…
THUMP!
He fell inside the ground.
’I am dead.’
———
Adolf nearly killed all the hungry men that came to attack him.
A few of them were still left but Hustler gave this task to other men.
He had something else to do.
"Now it’s time to catch the impostor." He said and walked towards a direction.
There were few people standing in that direction and Adolf stopped in front of one person.
"Got you." Adolf held the person’s hand.

Pablo was also busy.
He hopped through shadows and shadows. His only target was one person and he kept his eyes on the target.
"The test will end as soon as I catch you."
Pablo was sure the test would end and he would get a hefty reward.
He moved very fast and in just ten seconds, he arrived in front of that person.
"I found you." Pablo smiled and held the person’s hand.
Then, without any delay, Pablo raised the hand of the person.
"I found the impostor!"
"I found the impostor!"
"I found the impostor!"
Three shouts came but Pablo shouted only once.
The people who were still alive stopped doing whatever they were doing and looked around.
"The Third Test is over!! Congratulations. You all passed!" Another announcement came and this was the strangest one.
"What? The third test?"
"What was the third test?"
"When did it happen?"
"All this was a test?"
People couldn’t understand what was going on.
’I was right. The test ended.’ Pablo’s guess was right. Now he just waited for the instructors to come out.
And they came.
THUMP!
THUMP!
Two people landed on the ground and everyone recognised them.
They were Graham and Diablo.
"What is happening here? Was this all a test?"
"It wasn’t a day off for us?"
"Yes. You are right. This was the third test." Diablo answered.
"Then why didn’t you tell us that?" People complained.
"Why would we tell you that? We wanted to see if you people have any brains to figure out what was going on. And turns out, only some people were smart enough to see that."
Everyone groaned.
"Let me explain everything. Don’t speak until I am finished." Graham came forward.
All the candidates were standing in front of him, ready to hear everything.
"So after the second test, you all came to this ground and we started our plan. We told you that you will get a day off and this made you relax your mind. You were all free of tension. You all believed us to be true and that helped us a lot. Thanks for that.
And then we gave you things. Tents, pills, food and water. We deliberately gave food and water to only five hundred people just to make the other five hundred people angry. And this was also a clue for you all to know that this is a test. Or else why will the military give less food? We aren’t that cheap. You all were too gullible.
We had predicted that the five hundred people who got food would share it with only women in exchange for their body. And that happened. The hundred women got food and that left four hundred men without any food.
We had thought that the four hundred men would give up on food and just sleep. Because they would think that it was only a matter of one day.
But in reality, it wasn’t a matter of one day. There was no one day’s rest for you. The four hundred men would have stayed hungry the next day as well and in hunger, they would have revolted against those who had food with them. And that was the point of the test. Another big fight.
Also, it wasn’t like that the five hundred people got unlimited food for them. That food was only enough for one day. After one day, they would have stayed hungry as well. The woman whom they have slept with would have gone away from them too. The tension would be high. The anger would be high. And that’s when the fight would have broken out between hungry men.
However, it seems this whole plan of ours was seen through by someone." Graham glanced at Pablo.
"I won’t disclose the name of that someone but they really understood what we were trying to do. There were some other people who also got the gist of our test but the person I am talking about understood everything. And you all should be grateful to that person as they hastened the test.
Because of them, you won’t have to wait for days. The test ended very soon due to their workings. The fight between men started earlier than we expected and it’s all thanks to that person."
Graham looked at everyone and they still had some questions.
"Now you all must be wondering what was the condition for the test to end. Was it killing everyone? No. Then was it killing five hundred people? No. The condition for the test to end was…"
Graham looked everyone in the eye and revealed the condition.
"The Capture of X."
Everyone heard him and they all furrowed their brows. They wanted to ask who the hell was X but they didn’t speak. Graham had told them not to disturb him.
"By X, I mean we have planted some one who is already in the military among you lot. They were posing as candidates alongside you and giving us information about every one. And this test was to test your wits. Only a few people figured that there is an impostor among you and the correct person will get a hefty reward. Though, some other people will also receive some rewards.
Anyway, since this test has ended, you all must have understood that the impostor has been caught. So without any pointless waste of time…"
Graham looked at Pablo and Adolf and gave the final order.
"Show us the Impostor."
