Supremacy Games

"Drag him to the side, and sit down." Charlotte didn't wait for them to break into chatter after that sight. She had no plans to alleviate their worry and fear, as their stay inside her room was limited to 4 hours, thus she had to make the best of it.

"We have no time to waste by going one by one. So you will all start at the same time."

She saw that her order wasn't taken into consideration, as each junior had their eyes either fixed on their cousin who was twitching from time to time, or at their toes counting how many they have.

Irritated, she frowned her eyebrows and decided to at least motivate them. Otherwise, their anxiety would affect their awakening process. "We will start with 5% and 10 minutes, and if you fainted during it, it means you are out." She extended her hand widespread, showing five fingers and added, "But if you managed to stay awake until the duration passed. You will be rewarded with 500 merits. Understood?"

"Understood!"

They replied with a little bit of vigor. But, their nervous expression did not change much. After all, no amount of merit could encourage them to look lightly at the integration process, following the horrifying scene they just regarded.

Felix sat down first in a meditation position and waited for Charlotte to make a move. His cousins soon did the same, while looking at the long needles, hovering near their hearts. Gulping noises resounded in the room, each time the piercing tips of those needles gleamed under the light.

Suddenly, one of the females couldn't handle the view anymore and fainted with eyes rolled at the back of her head.

'Thud.'

The moment the body hit the ground everyone stared at her speechlessly, not knowing why the hell was she here when she had Trypanophobia.

Helpless, Charlotte rubbed her eyelids and kicked her outside of the UVR. After all, she was not qualified to awaken if she couldn't even handle the image of a needle. Nonetheless penetrating her heart with it. She would probably get a heart attack immediately if that happened.

Trypanophobia was not a condition to be taken lightly.

"Queen AI carry on please." Charlotte requested politely for the queen to handle the process.

As expected from the Queen, her ways were always efficient and quick, as she didn't give anyone a chance to overthink, before she penetrated their hearts.

A few minutes later, a symphony of high pitched shrieks marked the beginning of the awakening process.

Meanwhile, Felix sat composedly with his eyes closed, without moving an inch or letting a single fart. In his eyes, this pain compared to the experiences and hardships he went through in his previous life was merely a joke.

No one could understand the tortures he had to face in his path before becoming a 3rd stage bloodliner.

So, he took it like a champ. A clear contrast to the rest who were threshing and twitching around, like fish on land.
