Though it held over a hundred souls within it's walls,
the waiting room was silent. Not a word was spoken as every Devil in
the room stared speechlessly at the now blank monitor, which earlier had
been broadcasting the examination of their fellow participant, Emiya
Shirou. And although it had been a good two minutes since his
examination had ended and the screen turned blank, not one a single one
of them had been able to look away.
…
…
Another silent minute had passed before someone decided to speak up. It was a young man, a Knight of someone's Peerage.
"Did..." his voice broke, and he needed to pause to swallow before carrying on. "Did that really just happen?"
"...Yup." Saji confirmed when it appeared no one else would answer, his eyes never leaving the screen.
"Oh." The knight mouthed, before drifting off and silence returned to the room.
...
...
"That
was..." another Devil started to speak up, a brunette Bishop, but
almost immediately she trialled off, unable to think of the words to
properly describe what she had seen. But she didn't need to finish, they
all understood what she meant.
"Yeah." A Devil next to her agreed, nodding his head dumbly.
Silence once again filled the room.
…
...
Finally someone snapped.
"Why
the hell is something like that even here?" A blond haired King threw
his hands up in exasperation and asked the question they were all
thinking. He pointed towards the blank screen. "Wasn't the Gathering
supposed to be for beginners? Then why the hell are we going to have to
fight a monster like that?"
"...Elders." Another solemn faced Devil answered.
"Ah,"
The King nodded slowly in understanding and crossed his arms over his
chest. Then the young King spoke up, once again voicing what everyone
was thinking, "Fucking Elders."
This time every head in the room nodded, speaking as one. "Fucking Elders."
