With only a few minutes till the tsunami swallowed the city, Alex had to think of a way to get the rest of the people out before it was too late.

He himself had no problem outrunning the tsunami, so he was not worried about himself. His issue was if losing even a single being would affect his chances of passing the trial.

Sometime later, he arrived at the assembly point where he could see hundreds of people rushing into the last vessel; an airship big enough to cater for more than hundreds.

With no time to waste, he did the only thing he could think of. Using his speed, he hurriedly transported the people on board before they even knew what happened and the moment he finished with the last person, he noticed the tsunami already closing in.

''Shit!''

"Go, now!"

He bellowed to the operators as they quickly came out of their frozen state and began the take sequence. But there was an issue...

''They''re not going to make it!''

The tsunami was just a few tens of meters from the vessel and the thrusters were now firing up. With a few seconds to spare, Alex did the only thing that came to mind; something he hadn''t done before.

He rushed to the vessel and promptly arrived underneath it and raised both hands to hold up the vessel.

"Hang on!"

With strained effort, he moved the vessel forward as he slowly gained momentum as the thrusters slowly reached their take-off point, but the tsunami was already behind him.

''Even now, I might not survive myself.''

There was only one thing left to do at that moment. Suddenly, his muscles tensed as he bellowed loudly and then tossed the vessel with all his might, shuttling the vessel forward. The vessel quickly gained momentum as the thrusters finally reached the required force and then burst forward.

As such, they had been keeping a close eye on his actions and today they had seen what kind of person they wished to bring into their ranks.

"Do you think this is enough?"

A deep and heavy voice spoke as it echoed in the chamber. The question tackled the objective of why they had gathered there today as the subject of Alex and what they believed him to be was an important one.

"I do... But you and I both know the final decision isn''t in our hands." Another person agreed before adding as they all turned to the head chair where a being with the outline of a female sat.

Her figure was shrouded in darkness, making it hard to see her face. Even if the lights were on, it would have been difficult to see as she never revealed her true face.

Her existence was one of a kind and the reason they were able to foretell the destruction of the universe before the rest even knew what was going on. She was not your typical awakened as her gift was something else entirely.

"..."

The woman remained quiet for some time as her gaze focused on Alex''s figure who reappeared on the long-suspended bridge unconscious.

"My decision was made a long time ago...."

That was the only response she gave, yet the others understood what she meant.

Though she was the de facto leader of The Order, it in fact didn''t have a leader; for now, at least. And the decision to study Alex more before welcoming him into their ranks was made by the people sitting in that room.

"Then it''s decided. Alexander Gray is more than qualified for the role he was fated to take."

The others nodded in agreement after the verdict was announced.

"For now, we watch over him as he continues to grow."
