In a huge hall with the area of a football stadium, empty chairs were scattered, many of them filled with groups that had finished the tests early. And in the back, there was a room for oral questions. The questions were not of that complexity requiring thinking, but rather direct questions. They did not ask the same questions to every person, so they did not separate those who passed the test into independent rooms.
They took a booklet special to personality questions consisting of 100 questions and another booklet to measure the level of intelligence. After finishing, they placed their names, and Satumi was the first and Logico was the last. They sat, and the wait dragged on for a whole hour. Helena asked:
"What do they ask about specifically?"
Logico replied:
"From my knowledge, they say to you present a definition of yourself and questions about the specialty. It does not matter if you answer wrong, for this is a test closer to a psychological test, but do not make too many mistakes either."
"Is it okay if I said in the bio that I am from Earth?"
Satumi replied:
"It is okay.. they originally treat us like those infected with mass psychosis, isn't that right Logico?"
"I am originally an atheist I do not care about such religious problems. And I do not care if you were infected with psychosis... actually from my school days I had an Earthling friend you are just making the issue bigger."
Suddenly they called for Satumi and Helena. The committee was tripartite, three big statures in the Global Alliance for Paranormal Interception GAPI. That was clear in the shoulder badges. They handed over their files and ID cards. The middle one said:
"It seems we have two Futanari... Are you two friends?"
Satumi spoke:
"No we just got to know each other just now during the sports tes.."
The supervisor interrupted her saying:
"Introduce yourselves."
Satumi continued:
"My name is Satumi Livantovill, my spiritual number is 6, my age is 30 years. I have a Master's in the study of Variable-Value Reality and a License in Philosophy and 3 years of experience as a postwoman."
"Okay, what does the drop of reality under the value of 90 Ontometers mean regarding the human body?"
Satumi replied:
"Without a means to preserve realism, then at 90 Ontometers the probability of infection with cancer increases by 70% instead of 20% at the level of natural reality amounting to 100 Ontometers. And for every unit of Ontometer the reality drops, the probability increases by 5%. At 84 the infection becomes inevitable. Under 10 Ontometers matter disintegrates at the level of quarks. Under 5 Ontometers physics is rewritten through the vacuum decay that happens. Near zero, theoretically, logic can be modified outside the mind."
"Ummm okay... what about you, oh shaved-eyebrows, we have not heard your voice yet."
Helena tried not to let the tension appear on her and said:
"I do not want to interrupt her only.. I am named Helena Fridgam, my spiritual number is 6, my age is 26. I have a Master's in the study of Variable-Value Reality."
Long silence...
One of the officials looked at her shirt for a long time and said:
"Why is your shirt, oh Helena, inside out?"
Satumi said in her head:
"No... my shirt's design is just like this. It is not inside out."
"Are you a transfer from planet Earth, oh Helena?"
"Yes."
Then the questions followed. In the beginning for Satumi, they were easy in the beginning and increased in difficulty with time. She reached question 30 and did not make a mistake until the supervisor asked an impossible question, so she said:
"I do not know."
The official breathed a sigh of relief while Satumi was smiling, then he said to her:
"Why did you choose this job?"
"It is suitable for my degree. The salary is good. And I love adventure. Also, ahem, I love defending the homeland."
"Aww.. You love defending the homeland?! Why?"
"This falls within my moral principles."
"And which are?"
"My moral principles are raising happiness and reducing suffering while prioritizing reducing suffering over raising happiness."
"Why did you not choose religious principles? Do religions and their clear principles not please you?!"
"GAPI does not accept religious people due to the ease of injecting live thoughts into them."
Afterward came Helena's turn. She made a mistake in the fifth question, then the sixth and the seventh, for the supervisor to say:
"You are making many mistakes, focus a little."
And she continued until question 15 with stumbling steps and one of the officials asked her:
"What does power mean to you as a fertility goddess and HECTOTYPE number 6?"
Helena did not know with what to answer so she answered with the most superficial and safe reply:
"Power means the responsibility in using it for legitimate goals."
"Do you practice masturbation?"
Helena felt ashamed, her face turned red from the unexpected question and she said:
"Yes."
"How many times a week?"
"I reincarnated three days ago."
"When was the last time?"
"T... the first day."
The observer started laughing at her and said:
"Are you a virgin?"
Helena did not want to fall into the trap, she lied and said:
"No."
"Pfft a miserable virgin, how is she a fertility goddess and a virgin?!"
"It has been 3 days I have not even caught my breath in this world."
"Satumi, are you a virgin?"
"No."
"How old were you when you were no longer a virgin?"
"Two years."
Suddenly everyone looked at her and she realized the disaster:
"I mean two years ago."
"You are more miserable than her."
"I reincarnated two years ago."
"Who told you to speak?!"
Satumi shrank.
"Helena, where do you see yourself after a hundred years?"
"Having formed a family."
"Do you have a crush on someone?"
"Currently no, but 100 years is a long time, I only said what I consider likely."
"Excellent... Did you take any stimulants before the sports test?"
Here paranoia stormed Helena's mind and she said, throwing the thought into the void:
"No I did not take any stimulants."
"Do you think our spies did not see you... your friend Marcimilian Logico is an agent for us."
"No I did not take any stimulants."
"I swear that we saw you with the camera, come on just confess, we will allow you to return in the next match."
"I..."
Satumi hoped that Helena would not fall into the trap.
"...did not take any stimulants, and if there is a test that proves that I did not take them, I am ready to pass it."
Long silence...
"Hmm we wish you both success."
They went out after taking their papers. Helena said...
"Ugh, I almost confessed. Did they really see me?"
"Mostly information reached them that you hang out with Logico."
To the waiting room, and they started scaring Logico and those with her, then they sat in the seats scattered throughout the room. Satumi took out her lunch. Helena had not brought anything with her, she imagined that it was just a normal job interview, so Satumi gave her a little.
Satumi ate with a perverted face and reddened cheeks. Helena tasted from it and shared the perverted ecstatic face. Satumi said with an ecstatic voice:
"The food of this world, oh my God."
And Helena replied with the same perverted voice:
"You are not eating, you are practicing eating."
Logico returned and saw them while they were practicing eating and said with a perverted voice:
"Practicing eating without me?!"
So she joined with her lunch as well. And after ten literal hours, and the hall filling up gradually, the night collapsed onto the sky while they were still sitting until their buttocks went numb. Sometimes they roamed the place, played games, but time was still passing, and all they were waiting for was the announcement of who would place their papers and who would go.
Logico and Helena, by their arrival to this stage, are safe, but Logico is the one in danger of elimination if they exceed the number before reaching her.
And suddenly the official came out and said:
"Whoever we call his name, let him come here ."
Then he started calling the names. From their appearance, it was clear that they were only Prototypes with some Tritotypes, so those were the names of the eliminated ones. They did not call for Logico who said:
"I knew that."
They handed over the papers and went out in groups. And outside, there was literally a fight over the taxis which took them for double the price to their place of residence. The place was remote, so they decided to return on foot after Satumi offered a meal.
