Chapter 3 - Pass or fail

15 PM

We then read the name of a university and look towards its grounds, where Leo suddenly appears, along with Destiny and Indra. Destiny asks, "What is going on here?" Leo replies, "One minute," and snaps his fingers, breaking the spell on Destiny. Destiny then says, "I remember now what happened that day!"

So now we see it was the crack of dawn, the clock showing minutes to 7:15 AM. Destiny rises from her bed, wearing such beautiful clothes, stretches, looks at the clock, and shouts aloud, "I am late!" She stands up, runs straight towards the university after stepping outside, and all the people on the street stare at her. Then Destiny remembers she can teleport; she closes her eyes, opens them, and appears directly in front of the university.

We then see many students gathered there. Destiny notices the university principal arriving, who wasn't very old. He announces, "Your interview starts now." Then, they erased our memories and locked us in that magical house. How terrible it was to be confined to a house and clean continuously! But wait a minute... does this mean I failed?

Leo says, "You didn't fail." Indra continues, "Let me take it from here. Our test was for the whole day. That magical house was very well made; even I couldn't recognise it. The house was so magical that time had no effect on it. But I also got trapped in the illusion. While cleaning there, I noticed a few things: the house was exactly like my own home, save for one error: the house's stairs had fourteen steps, whereas my home's stairs had twelve."

We then see Indra pull out his black energy sword and strike the wall of the house directly, creating a large hole. A piece of wood flies out of the house. Suddenly, the house vanishes, and Indra looks around to see many houses there. The piece of wood flies towards a man standing nearby, who catches it in his hand. Indra immediately advances towards the man with his sword and attacks him with his black energy sword. However, the man doesn't move from his spot and catches the sword with his hands. Indra, seeing this, says that no one can hold an energy sword with their hands.

The man replies, "Except its user." He then snaps his fingers, perhaps hoping we remember who he is now. Indra exclaims, "Oh, the Principal! It means I passed the test?" The Principal confirms, "Yes, but there is one difficulty: no one else has passed except you, and there are still 4 minutes left. You can now help one of them." Indra agrees, but then the Principal disappears from the spot.
