Alex chose not to enter the trial this time around either, thinking of letting just Ronron and the rest take part instead of him. However, there seemed to be no way for him to stay out of it here, as his star was registered just like the rest of theirs.
In the end, he could only let out a sigh and wait to go in with all of them.
Staying outside, they heard enough talk between the people gathered there to know what this trial was about.
From what he came to understand, the people inside were under a suppressive aura, and their task was to last as long as they could without giving up. The longer they stayed inside, the more stars they would get.
To their surprise, they came to learn that some of the people inside had been staying there for nearly a week now, and it was likely that they would stay in for another day or two at least. The later tests just took that long in general this time around.
