Kyle looked around the plaza.
'Just 15 people,' he thought. 'That's not a lot.'
'As far as I know, Table Feast recruits every year, while Archon recruits every 20 years. Meanwhile, the Array of Stars only recruits every century.'
'This time, everything just happens to line up. I guess that's why this is a grand recruitment and not just a normal recruitment wave.'
"Everyone has acted according to the rules," the Fusion Realm Seeker announced.
The Examiner from Table Feast didn't show it, but Kyle could feel his Energy relaxing after these words were spoken.
Meanwhile, Kyle noticed that seven out of the ten Inspectors took to the sky, leaving the other three behind.
One of the three who had been left behind was that mysterious woman.
The appearance of the three of them changed.
All three of them had seemed rather old, but now, they seemed to be young and full of vigor.
'Ah, I get it,' Kyle thought. 'I think I know what's going on.'
He watched the three of them walking to the edge of the plaza to form their own group.
"Tyrol's Bane," the Fusion Realm Seeker said.
"Here!" one of the Examiners from a different group shouted before walking forward with his group.
He had the biggest group with five contestants.
Kyle's group was the second biggest with four.
Then, there were two groups with two people, and two groups with only one.
After the Inspectors left, the remaining groups had lost their one and only contestant.
Kyle could see that some of the Examiners without contestants seemed a bit dispirited.
They had arrived with a rare Fulfilled Transcendent, but it turned out that it was just an Inspector.
The group from Tyrol's Bane stopped below the levitating Fusion Realm Seeker and waited.
The two groups just looked at each other for a couple of seconds.
'They're probably conversing via Voice Transmission.'
"First contestant, step forward," the Fusion Realm Seeker said.
The Examiner of the group looked at one person in the group who quickly stepped forward in response.
It was a blue-haired woman with a form-fitting set of blue armor.
The Fusion Realm Seeker looked at the woman for a couple of seconds, and Kyle could feel some unfamiliar kind of Energy coming from her.
Five seconds later, the Energy vanished.
"Wait over there," the Fusion Realm Seeker said. A moment later, a faint beam of light appeared, pointing at one of the empty edges of the plaza.
'Oh, seems like somebody failed.' Kyle thought. 'Well, assuming my guess is correct.'
The woman performed a short and respectful bow before leaving.
The next person was sent forward, and they were also sent to the same location after investigation.
This continued until…
"You will wait over there," she said to the fifth person, her beam of light pointing towards the three Inspectors.
'Ha! I was right!' Kyle thought smugly.
The reason why the Inspectors had split up was that some of them had the potential to enter the Array of Stars.
Most likely, the three of them had been recruited by Archon within the last 100 years, and they simply had to wait until the next grand recruitment.
'The people going to the Inspectors get sent to the Array of Stars, while the others join Archon.'
"Table Feast," she announced while the Examiner from Tyrol's Bane went back to his earlier spot, alone.
"Here," the Examiner from Table Feast spoke as he stepped forward.
