The Ancient Genes

Chapter 411: Unexpected Outcome

"Two out…." Mr. Cool said as he looked at Lora and Elly.

"Why are you talking like you are not a part of it?" Max asked as he looked at him.

"Now, don't pay attention to little details…." Mr. Cool brushed it off with a smile.

10 minutes passed and another sphere of mist started to turn dark and the person who was out was surprisingly Erina….

Max thought that she would at least be within the top 3 for sure. She was strong and had experienced much more being in the position that she was in…and yet she had been thrown out a lot sooner than he had expected.

Erin sat on the ground. Her expression was sour, it seemed she had been fed something disgusting.

A few more minutes passed and another sphere of mist started to turn dark.

"Don't tell me not even one of these guys would pass…" Mr. Cool said as he looked at the mist.

"Just to remind you, you failed the most miserably here…." Max didn't even shift his gaze from the mist and chimed in the truth.

At this moment, the dark mist dispersed. The person who appeared was Aria, her fists were clenched and she suddenly raised her head and her eyes coincidentally met with Max.

Her face turned a bit red…anger, embarrassment, guilt, objection….several emotion flashed past her face. She instantly turned her head away, it was quite clear she was having a hard time with whatever she had expperienced….

"You sure you don't wanna go and talk to her…" Max asked as he looked at Mr. Cool.

"Let her be, she needs to work it out on her own…" He replied as he looked at his sister.

"What about yourself?" Max asked, but was ignored.

20 more minutes passed before Bahamut came out, he had a frustrated look on his face.

He looked at Lear and spoke, "Next time, I will clear it…'' and left towards the side to contemplate about the event.

It seemed he had developed a competitive spirit against Lear.

"Now that's the attitude…." Mr. Cool said with a smile as he looked at Bahamut.

"You aren't in a position to say that…" Max really felt like kicking the annoying guy but held his urges back.

He then looked at the mist, 'Now this is a bit unexpected...leaving Wilson aside…"

….

"We ended up hurting her won't you agree…."

Wilson stood there as he saw the smile on that beautiful face. She was always smiling in front of her.

He didn't know how she was all this time….

"She probably hates us…..we send her in a hell….it must have been worse than death….''

Wilson's fingers were clenched into a fist but he refused to look away. There was nothing wrong about it…yet, it seemed so painful to his ears….

"She might not want us anymore…."

"Besides, don't you think we should leave her? We caused it all, we don't deserve to stay by her side…she must wish for the same..."

Wilson looked at that beautiful smiling face….not deserving to be by her side...

"Why aren't you replying to me? Isn't this what you think yourself? Are you really gonna feign ignorance now…"

The reflection looked at Wilson's back and his eyes fell on his clenched fist.

"So, you are still gonna deny it?" He said shaking his head and the surrounding started to turn dim.

As the reflection was about to disappear, Wilson turned his head and looked at him.

The reflection froze. A single gaze was enough to convey his feelings. The reflection shook its head.

The dim surrounding which was turning dark suddenly stopped. Veins began to pop out on Wilson's body.

'We really are selfish….'

….

Time continued to trickle and an hour had passed already…

They were really holding it out….

And finally…one of the spheres of mist started to disappear….it had turned dark.

Another failure…

But suddenly towards the end, the dark mist suddenly seemed to go through a transformation. It turned partially white and disappeared.

The person who appeared was Wilson, he stood there. His eyes were bleeding, it seemed like he had cried in blood.

Max could see blood dripping down his clenched fists as well.

"Wilson!" Erina immediately ran up to him. But, Wilson just looked toward the old spirit.

The old man was smiling as if he had seen something amusing.

"Did I pass?" Willson asked as he looked at him.

"Boy, you didn't accept it from your heart but forced your way through that Will of yours….it is indeed admirable but if we talk in terms If the test, then instead of failing you are most likely disqualified for breaking the rules..." the old spirit said with an amused face.

"Is it really hard to accept it boy? Isn't it something you feel yourself…" the old spirit's words were filled with curiosity. There weren't many things in the world that could make the old man have that face.

"So what? If I accept it, I won't have the qualifications to stay by her side. I believe her more than myself…..even if I think of it, it will never happen…." Wilson said as he look at him. He then raised his fist towards the old man, "When I find her, this thing won't stop me anymore….I will definitely break through your stupid test…''

"Interesting….I will be waiting for you then..." The old man said with a smile.

…

"Why are you smiling?" Mr. Cool asked as he looked at Max.

"I think I saw the coming….." Max shook his head. If he had to put it in words, it was very Wilson like…..

"Now, only two are left…" Mr. Cool said.

"Yeah the unexpected two…." Max said as he looked at the mist.

And at this moment, the remaining mist started to move as well and it wasn't black…

''Is this really happening?" Max asked as he looked at Mr. Cool. But the guy just shrugged.

The old spirit was smiling as well.

Max looked at him, his face was clearly saying, 'I heard something different from you...'
