"SILENCE!"
A booming voice echoed throughout the gymnasium like a thunderclap, and the talkative students turned so silent that a pin drop could be heard.
They stood straight like a statue and didn't even dare to move their heads around, but their eyes darted all around the place.
They wondered who just spoke, and at that moment, they saw a black-haired young man walk to the front with a shy girl hiding behind him.
"Ah…"
"Oh my god…"
When they saw the black-haired young man, their hearts almost exploded out of nervousness as they recognized him.
'It's Kiernan! It's really him!'
'I can't believe he's actually here!'
'H-He is responsible for testing us? That's crazy!'
Once it all quieted down, Kiernan looked over to Melia and asked with a voice loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Is this everyone?"
"W-we emailed everyone that if you aren't in the gymnasium in time, y-you can kiss the chance of joining goodbye.
"The time is already up…"
Melia said shyly.
"Alright. Good."
