Even though the competency of the participants was quite clear just from the first mission, the overseers still decided to assign two more missions to the candidates just to be sure about their judgement. Nothing too different happened during the next two missions.
Natasha did extremely well just as she had been doing since the beginning of the trial. In the eyes of any onlooker, it would appear that she had no competition in this selection trial. But the thing which impressed Elena the most was Cavvel's team. During the three missions, they improved immensely. Not only in terms of skills but also in intelligence. And the subordinates were not alone. Cavvel had also improved a lot alongside them. It was truly a wonderful performance.
On the other hand, Elena also became sure that, bad luck or not, Ullar was not really good at managing subordinates. For the next two missions, he again tried to do everything by himself and failed miserably. He finished the second mission where he needed to creates a defensive plan for the city with his subordinates within the time limit but the plan had a lot of flaws. It looked like Ullar was also feeling the pressure as in a normal situation, even when working alone, he would not make so many mistakes.
But in the last mission where he needed to steal a flower from the mouth of a beast, he was unable to complete this mission as this was not something he alone could do. This was not a hard mission as if his team worked with him, then his subordinates could attract the attention of the beast while he could steal the flower. But as his team was not working with him, he failed in this mission and almost died in the jaws of the beast. Fortunately Elena was there to save him again.
...
After the end of all three of the missions, all the overseers sat down for the final meeting. This time they were not here to give their opinion but were here to listen to Elena's judgement. This whole thing was planned by Elena so whatever she said would be final.
As soon as the meeting started, Elena looked at the face of all the participants of the meeting and started talking in a serious tone.
"I think it is very clear to everyone that only two candidates looks to be well suited for the role. But choosing between them just through these three tests is not a good thing and a bit unfair for them. So I will like to have a personal one on one interview with both of them before making a decision."
Hearing Elena, all the meeting participants nodded their heads. What Elena said made perfect sense to them. They were also very grateful that Elena was putting so much thought into this. If Elena had chosen any one of them without going through all the trouble, Graf would still be satisfied with the result. By her going all out just showed everyone how much serious she was about this whole thing.
...
Soon the interview venue was prepared and the first person to enter the private room for the interview was Natasha. She was quite nervous after knowing that she would be coming face to face with a female S ranker whom her father also respected. But with her good manners, she was able to press down her nervousness and appeared calm on the surface.
Seeing her, Elena smiled sweetly and asked her to take a seat before her. Then Elena started the conversation with praising Natasha for her job. Praises were something that Natasha had been getting a lot of since her childhood. She used to be very happy with them during that time.
But as time passed and she grew up, praises started to sound hollow to her ears. Then when she came to the realisation that she would never be able to reach the S ranks in her whole life, her mind almost broke. Even in this trial, she had actually not given her all and had just treated this whole trial casually.
Natasha was a big fan of S rank powerhouses. Especially after knowing that she would never be able to reach that peak, instead of hating the people who had reached that height, she started to like them even more. So she had actually joined the trial mostly to get a chance to take a look at the amazing female S ranker who was rumoured to be related to this trial.
And now as that amazing female S ranker was praising her, after a very long time, Natasha, did not felt a praise to be hollow. She genuinely felt extremely happy that Elena was praising her. But just as her mood was becoming jolly, Elena said something that made her to almost have a heart attack.
Elena actually just told her that it was possible for her to reach the S rank even without the cursed pill of the city lord. Natasha had actually asked many S rankers for advice but all of them so far had said her that reaching the A rank for her was a miracle in itself, so reaching the S rank was impossible for Natasha. But now that, for the first time in her life, one of her idol was saying something different, Natasha was having a very hard time maintaining her composure.
Seeing the agitated Natasha, Elena smiled at her sweetly once again and asked her.
"Natasha Tennit, are you willing to become my disciple ?"
While saying this, at the same time Elena also released a little bit of her aura in the levels above four hundreds. The aura of a demigod was so distinct that anyone could recognise it immediately. As soon as Natasha recognise it, she froze on the spot again. This poor girl was really going through a lot of shocks in a short duration of time today.
So what would her answer be ?
