Chapter 1312 Guild Recruitment III

"Where were you? What took you so long?" Solstice asked as Adrian was a bit late to arrive when he should be the one facilitating the first trial.

"I needed to fetch some late registrants. I had to test them so that the ones that registered on time would not be mad at me for letting them join." Adrian replied as the group saw Arsenal and Apolaki joining the guild recruitment which shocked them as they were the national representatives.

"How did you land them?" Levin Cloud asked but Adrian only told them that they were the ones that presented themselves.

The others knew that their guild has become famous, but he did not think that they were able to recruit them. In fact, a lot of players in the ranking would have joined if not for the rules that they created. They were especially famous to the rankers that tend to do solo play as the Pantheon guild did not have much restriction to their knowledge.

"Since everyone has gathered here, the first test shall commence. I will send you a layout of how all of you will position yourselves. And yes, this is the guild house of the Pantheon guild. Just like the Pocket Dimension Homes being shown in Avalon, the guild house is also a pocket dimension." Adrian stated as the players are amazed that even the guild house is a pocket dimension.

Adrian arranged the potential recruits in a circular formation with him at the center. The ones closer to him are the players that have higher levels while the ones at the other edge are the low-level ones. All of them went into position and Adrian waited for them to get comfortable before doing the next set of instructions.

"Seeing that all of you are already in place, I will now explain the next step that will determine if you will be eliminated here or not. The task is simple as all you need to do is not get sucked inside the black hole that I will summon for the next ten seconds. Is everyone clear on the instructions?" Adrian stated as he looked at all the participants and they have started their preparations.

When Adrian saw that some players were still lost, he already started the cast as he wants to also test their preparedness. He made sure to have his friends tag the ones that were already preparing the moment he gave the instructions. He could have made the Cube of Paradox do this, but it has yet to awaken as it is still processing the energy that it has received.

All the participants could see that Adrian is slowly floating and a small sparkling star could be seen on his palm. He slowly raised this star as it flew ten meters up in the air as he snapped his fingers. The moment Adrian snapped his fingers, the sound of glass being broken echoed in the area and the small star exploded to produce a black hole.

As soon as the black hole was created, a few players already started to get uprooted from the ground as they got sucked in. All those that were sucked in were not spat back out in the guild house as Adrian made sure that they will be thrown out to the outside world. In under three seconds, half of the players were already gone.

Most of the ones that were sent out are players that were low in level but there were some that showed promise. Adrian could see a few familiar faces that firmly planted their feet on the ground which are Ark the Nephilim, Pana the mysterious Dark Elf, Basil the Mother of Dragons, Awraka the Shade, Cairo the Champion of the Sun God and Altum, the Envoy of Dagon.

Adrian did not even need to look at Arsenal and Apolaki as they did not even have any problem with staying on the ground. There were also some players that caught his eye, but he needs to be sure of them as he will increase the intensity when there are only three seconds left.

As soon as the black hole started to slowly get smaller, Adrian increased the sucking force by providing it Primordial Essence and mana. He could now control the intensity of the black hole to a certain extent as it could grow more powerful with being fed with mana and essence. The ones that were having no problem standing on their feet are suddenly fighting for their life to not get sucked inside.

Adrian's rule only stated that they could not get sucked in, but they could get carried off their feet. Some actually floated in mid-air but they were able to stabilize themselves more while floating compared to being stuck on the ground. After the ten seconds ended, the black hole vanished like nothing, and it did not spit out those that were sucked in.

"Congratulations as you have passed the preliminary test that we have concocted. You are now one step in being approved to our guild. For those that were sucked inside the black hole, they were already informed that they have failed.

This is just the first screening which means there will be a last test from me, but we will separate it depending on your job class. Please wait as we organize the names of those that were left." Adrian stated as he gathered with his friends to discuss.

The number of participants left are not many as only a quarter of the two hundred thousand were left. There are now about fifty thousand players left and they were really lucky to pass as Adrian maxed out the sucking force of the black hole at the last second. His friends also evaluated those that they think will be useful as they have their eyes on a few talents.

"Thank you for waiting. For the next test, we will determine your strengths on the job class that you have picked. Those assigned to me will be left while those that are for the others should step aside for the moment. Thank you." Adrian stated.
