Theodore was already seated when the call came for everyone to return to their seats. Unfortunately for some of the others, it seemed their host had a foul temperament, and announced that multiple examinees were disqualified for their tardiness in taking a seat. While it seemed pointlessly petty to Theodore, he did not mind in the end; it meant less competition in the long run, although there was still a great deal of competition left to face down. Amusingly, their vindictive host announced that a free pass would be granted to the first person to bring down an examinee that refused to leave. Theodore would not have had any qualms about taking that offer, but he was in a less than optimal position to take advantage of the situation, and he doubted he would be able to beat the countless others on hand to the punch. He chose to leave 105 to his fate and focus on their ill-tempered host.

Eventually, Aleksandra got down to business and explained what the first portion of the exam would entail. Curiously enough, it seemed his initial estimation was completely off; this organisation was indeed blunt enough to organise what would essentially be an all out brawl between those assembled here, barring the highly unlikely possibility that everyone would choose to join hands and co-operate in order to proceed. It was almost a little disappointing to know there was going to be no real challenge besides being tough or wily enough not to be beaten down by the other competitors. Of course, Theodore could not complain, and he had a feeling that if he did, Aleksandra would be sorely tempted to have him disqualified on the spot. Calmly, Theodore rose from his seat and took a place resting against a wall close to the entrance. The area would almost certainly erupt in chaos soon, and when it did, Theodore planned to be ready to react to any and all assaults upon his person. He was not the type to trust in the goodwill of others to carry him, and so he planned to acquire the necessary badges to advance alone if he had to. Of course, if someone wished to assist him, he would not object, though he intended to watch all comers like a hawk.
