Runa looked over the new, whiny addition to the team as Nikola held him aloft, taking note of the large, floating gloves that were mimicking the young mans hand movements.

[color=goldenrod][i]Why isn't he using those to defend himself from Nikola?  They might even work...[/i][/color]  Runa thought to herself as she approached the other two, just as the strange floating box returned.

[color=yellow]"Congratulations remaining regulars! You have passed the test! Again welcome to hell!"[/color]

After the announcement completed, Runa blinked, and found that the three of them had been transported to a great hall along with the other teams that were left.  In this hall, a finely-dressed young man addressed the crowd, before retreating to wherever the test administrators went when not around the regulars.

Sitting down with her teammates, Runa took a few energy bars from her pack and offering them to her teammates before replying to Nikola.

[color=goldenrod]"I say we keep him.  I think he could be useful if properly motivated, look at those gloves of his...  They look useful, and he controls them, even if he doesn't seem to realize it, like a diamond in the rough.  We've just got to break him out of his shell, or something.  Maybe.  I was never very good at teaching...  Besides, he did survive this far, and he was chosen in the first place, so he's got to be worth [i]something[/i]."[/color]
