“What’s this new mission and why am I not qualified to participate?” Someone else would think that you’re used to being excluded at this point in your life, but it still stings! You hope the answer isn’t because you’re a nerd again.
“My new objective is to prepare the playfield for the grand competition that will decide the fate of the other world beyond this reality. After closing the final pathway, I must make an assessment of the dominant species of this planet, in this case, the human race, to find the most capable individuals among them. To prepare them for the contestants’ disposal for a partnership.” Those cold eyes are looking down on you. “Ema, given the parameters I received, you don’t have the physical capabilities, the spiritual prowess, or the influence among your peers to be selected. Your status is considered woeful.”
“B-But I can see you in your Will-O-Wisp form! Nobody else I meet can...” You’ll hang onto the thing that makes you feel a tiny bit special. You said that right, right? Will-O-Wisp?
“Your spiritual aptitude is considered better than average, my estimate is that you’re 1 in 10,000 in this category. But it cannot compensate for your weaknesses in other areas.” The green spirit destroys your little bit of hope. I-It’s not like you want to be part of this! “You wouldn’t have been considered worth assessing in any other circumstances.”
“What makes you think I don’t have any potential…?” You can get fit! Make lots of friends! And learn meditation! You probably won’t. But you could! Even if no one believes you can…
“I’ve been given new tools for scouting humanity. I’m capable of knowing any human being’s location, capabilities, and potential.”
“Okay, Mr. Judge know-it-all. But how does that work?” You don’t think he can see the future, right?
“Allow me to demonstrate: This stream will serve as a visual manifestation of one of the instruments I have at my disposal.” Mr. Judge opens a vortex from the ceiling of the dream world. From it, a torrent of water continues to fall endlessly. “The tool predicts all possible future events by doing an unsurmountable number of simulations based on the information this world currently possesses. The machine selects the events with the highest percentage of likelihood of happening to display them. This process is less reliable the farther in time one tries to predict, at least, with major events.”
“D-Does it really know everything? L-Like to make this simulation?” You don’t trust it! “Even the little things, like if I ate a burrito or not?”
“There are events that are practically meaningless, but yes. Yes, it does.”
“Oh bother…” Of all the things, you had to remember you ate a burrito from the floor?!
“Feel free to use the tool to demonstrate its capabilities. Ask anything you would like to know.” The eyes ask you not to be shy.
