Jason knew his blaming on Zoravec would not really work in the long run, because he had been helpful to both of them in a true sense. Even if Blake and Clara were bootlicking him it was not something unexpected, considering his speculations made him come over all the tasks.
Thus, he was sure that the direction of the cannon needed to be shifted from Zoravec towards Clara. Since he had chosen Blake as the target to provoke, the other two needed to be dragged into the matter. Jason looked at Clara who stood behind Zoravec and was mildly terrified when he called out to her.
"And her…hah! She is just a weakling hiding behind you both. Staying with her will drag you down, she is dependent on you and needs your aid in the long run. If I were you I would drop such useless weight off my shoulders, which would turn into a potential hindrance in future."
Blake's expressions changed upon hearing his words and paused for a moment. Jessica gave a lopsided grin acknowledging that her brother's shrewd statement had left an impression on Blake. It was obvious none of them knew each other and could possibly drop or kill one another if needed.
Jason did not pause there and shifted his gaze towards Zoravec who was standing there with his fingers turned into fists. Zoravec could sense what he was doing but he was still unable to predict the whole task. He had no clue that the certain provoking and the tackling a foul mouthed opponent was the crux of the third test.
"And you…I am surprised how you passed the other tests effortlessly. Yet you are still keeping this useless baggage with you, I can understand why you are keeping this guy [Blake] with you. I admire the sly nature of yours which you have successfully masked up til now but you can't hide it from me."
Zoravec was not bothered by whatever he said since it was true, he had been keeping Blake and Clara with him solely due to their skills. It left him angry that he got exposed and it could possibly affect their relationship. Clara was not sure what to say since she was dumbfounded on the realisations told by Jason.
'ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ve) l Bi n',
None of them knew their secrets would be exposed like that and it simply left them all bewildered. Jason and Jessica glanced at each other as they grinned meaningfully, they were partially successful in sowing the seed of doubt and dislike in them. However, for a few moments the three of thems stood there silently.
Blake glared at Clara with an utter indication of dislike.
Clara was stunned enough to not be able to react.
Zoravec on the other hand stood there with his head down.
Jason and Jessica waited for them to react to all that realistic display of their so-called bond. It was obvious they were strangers to each other and the only thing which brought them together was the sessions. It left the three of the wondering if they were actually using each other for their own benefits.
What if that was true? It means they could not trust each other, because once they will be useless for one another; the next step would be eradication. Blake understood that Zoravec did not help the two of them [Blake and Clara] for no reason. He must have wanted something in return or perhaps was covering up his lackings through their strengths.
Similarly, Clara had figured it out that she was being a burden to both of them. She was a weak person who only had the skill of weaponry and a good hearing skill. Clara realised that maybe Zoravec and Blake teamed up with her due to her knowledge of weapons. What if she is unarmed one day and becomes a burden to them?
Zoravec on the other hand had mixed feelings about the whole matter. He was sure that the siblings were deliberately causing misunderstanding between them. Zoravec knew he needed both of their skills if he had to go in the long run. It was obvious he had to clear out the misunderstanding between the three of them.
'',
Zoravec was aware that he had no knowledge of weapons and unarmed fighting. Blake and Clara were the skilled ones in that regard, he had to clear the air which made them assume they all had been bootlicking each other. Although partially it was true but Zoravec had to tone down that obvious thing.
He seized the chance and lifted his head to respond to all the horrible things Jason said. Blake waited for him to speak first since he had served like a leader to both of them. Clara was not sure what she should say in that matter since whatever Jason said had successfully created a huge room of doubt between them.
"Do you really think you can split us by all this bullshit? Hah! Bold of you to assume that we are brain dead to not see through your provocation."
Zoravec bluntly spouted all the truth as he made sure to make Blake and Clara realise that it was all a planned thing. The two of them immediately shifted their heads towards Jason immediately which was an indicator of their quick changing.
Jason had no clue that his plan would backfire that quickly, whereas Jessica was equally stunned upon her brother's first defeat. They were high ranked soldiers despite their young age, the siblings were appointed to aid in conducting the tests. Zoravec carried his statement further with confidence as he put forward the truth bluntly.
"You think you are the only one who can generate bullshit according to the situation?"
Zoravec crossed his arms as a lopsided grin appeared over his lips. Jason was equally shocked upon seeing how effortlessly Zoravec turned the tables. Jessica, Blake and Clara stood there quietly knowing they all should not butt in the heated conversation.
