MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master

Chapter 38 - The Interview

1.3 million applicants tried out the training house trials to try get an A grade assesment to go on to round 2 , but soon reality crashed that 90% of the masses could not even get a C grade on the test .

There were only about 5% who got a C

3% who got a B

1% who got an A

and only a handfull of S grade assessment

with only one SS grade assessment

All in all only about 1500 people cleared round 1 out of the 1.3 million people to attempt it , this type of elimination rate was just simply outrageous . Just what kind of skill did you need to become a True Elite?

Out of the 1500 that undertook round 2 , the top hundred were calculated by the AI and called for the interview round. Although many of the 1400 rejected were enraged , they knew that the entire process uptill now was ridiculously fair , and noone could blame anyone for not passing . It all depended on one's own skill , However that all changed in the interview round

Rudra knew perfectly well that each and every interview he undertook was probably being recorded by the players attending the interview. Every decision , every selection would probably be scrutinized . However he was unfazed , he knew he needed loyal members and those whose personality was still mouldable , He needed people coming with a learning attitude and not with Im superior to everyone attitude in his guild.

The interview was held in the Guild Hall , with Rudra and Karna being seated alone in the grand hall , and a table seperating the candidates was set up . The candidates were absolutely blown away by the grandness of the platinum guild ..... Each and everything in the guild screamed luxury through and through

They became psychologically pressured in such environment , and also highly motivated to do anything to enter such an amazing guild. Everywhere they roamed they felt a sense of 'WOW' . Although the acceptance rate of the guild was pitifully low , that was what made the guild soo special . You feel the value of getting in , when you struggle soo hard for it . Had the entrance been easy noone would value the position soo much.

Amelia was seated outside the hall , looking absolutely stunning , half of the male candidates were stealing glances at her , drooling .... The more lustfull ones felt even more motivation to enter , whereas the women felt uncomfortable at seeing such a stunning beauty. ' Is the Guild Leader a sucker for beauty?' they thought .

Amelia extremely professionally sent the members in one by one for the interview . The candidates were extremely nervous , especially when meeting Rudra , The ' Player Shakuni ' was definitely one of the top players in the game currently and his reputation preceded him , and even the most confident candidates felt a sense of pressure while talking to him.

Rudra had the same set of 3 questions he would ask everyone

" Why should you become a member of the guild?"

" What will you do , if tommorow the guild looses its position because of loosing a war ? ".

"What lows are the lowest that you are willing to suffer with the guild?".

The three questions were extremely straight forward and his evalutation scheme was also simple. He did not detest arrogance and pride , however one should not be oberflowing with it hence to the first question those who answered in a manner of i can contribute to the guild in xyz manner and hence am a valuable asset were all passed with full marks

Where as those who said stuff like i passed with an A grade assesment , my skills are top notch , i have such a record in royal road , i am an elite , blah blah any nonsense about themselves were given a big fat 0 .

It is about a team in a guild , not an individual .

The answer to question 2 was truth! , If you said i really dont know what i would do , you get full marks

If you said ill probably quit , you get full marks

If you said ill stick around no matter what ..... now that kinda BS made Rudra suspicious , and hence he would immediately ask why ?

If the answer satisfied Rudra they get full marks else if they are just corporate liars trying to please the boss , a big fat 0.

Now the third question was highly subjective and Rudra gauged the players characters from this question itself

The answered ranged from , everything ill never leave the guild even at its lowest to none whatsoever , im here to be an elite, struggles are for commoners.

Rudra rejected both answers ..... what he was looking for was anything reasonable , Pinch in finances could be weathered , Loosing battles could be weathered .... What could not be tolerated was loosing face. When the members felt unwanted or when the guild was no longer what its name suggested , that was a gathering of elites that was the bottom line.

With this his evaluation of 100 candidates was complete .... and although he decided to hire only 37 .... surprisingly 52 actually passed his evaluation hence he took them all in .

With the results out and the acceptance being higher than advertised many were very very happy. What Rudra was most happy about was that there were amazingly talented rankers that also joined his team .

MonkeyKingEnma

PoisonToadGamakichi

ToadSageGamabunta

SlySerpantMadrin

WickedFenrir

Blazing Phoenix

All these were excellent assault players in his past life , warrior / swordsman / warlock / barbarian class they would provide excellent DPS on the frontlines.

Rhino

TankerTom

ImmovableImmortal

Were three tankers that he chose in his guild , Rhino was the number one tanker of Orange Rock guild in his past life who was one of the top 50 in the arena rankings about 2 years into the game.

Medivh

Oz

Cola

These three were the three mage 's he chose in his guild , Medivh had a hidden class which was archmage ..... He had not revealed it to Rudra however Rudra knew .... he was absolutely elated having these three in his team ..... Wizards had low hp however nobody had better AOE than Wizards and he had the cream of the crop..... The only reason they chose to join the guild was because of the mage tower .... no other guild in the game had a mage tower..... and noone would ... not atleast till the next 3 years.

Robin and Apollo were the two archers

Artemis and Shambhu were the two hunter/ ranger

And there were also 3 well known priest/ healers in his team, in his past life these three had the craziest fan following deeming them as dream of all men.... because they were triplets having excellent beauty . They always went everywhere together and were actually NGO wworkers in real life.

Kitty

Katy

Karen

The best damn healers one could ask for

It was a completely overpowered lineup .... even the rest of the members were minimum A rated in combat prowess and although he did not memorize their names yet.... he would soon ..... as the dungeon runs were up next.

With the guild sigil being the same as that of Grey Warrior's as well , to show his sponsor , the Grey wolf symbol , simmilar to that of the Starks in Game of Thrones

And completely Black Robes ..... each and every accepted member looked extremely cool !!! they all had a photoshoot as well as a group photo..... On the forums each and every acceptee was posted by the guild with a slogan of

"@Rhino is now a true elite"

" @ Robin is now a true elite"

" "

" "

And finally the first batch of True Elites was shown in a group photo !

Although it felt cringe.... it was a great way to welcome all the members and make them feel at home. Finally with the First wave of recruitment complete , they all gathered in the guild hall where Rudra was on the stage, silently observing them all .
