The young cultivators lined up nervously on the beach. Some were whispering, others stared at Dahlia who stood confidently in front of them.
Garion leaned lazily against the fallen log, watching her with an amused grin.
"Alright, Dahlia. Show me how you plan to 'test' them."
Dahlia smirked.
"Easy. We'll start with appearance."
The entire crowd froze.
"Appearance?"
Dahlia nodded proudly.
"Yes. Appreciation and body build. You don't expect to be part of God Gym looking like weak people, do you?"
Garion chuckled quietly, saying nothing. He was enjoying this.
Dahlia walked slowly in front of the rows of rectuirst, scanning them up and down.
Some straightened their backs nervously. Others puffed out their chests, trying to look confident.
She stopped in front of a tall young man with quite a big build.
"Hmm. Nice arms, solid shoulders, and you actually look like you've done some heavy lifting. You pass."
The man blinked.
"Uh... thank you?"
