The Master [MxMxM+]

03

The eight men who were so lucky to have been picked were now ushered into another room, the Master still wasn't present.

They regarded each other warily, all but a few of them. Pierre seemed like he could only look down and Jet made it a point to avoid everyone's gaze and where it was impossible to do so, he made them cower away.

"Gentlemen," the Master's assistant said. "Congratulations on making it through the final selection, knowing how picky the Master is."

The men sat at a big table and looked to the man speaking. He was somewhat attractive in his suit. Long black hair left loose and tucked behind his ears, dark eyes and a mouth set in an all business manner.

He looked like the the type of person you didn't mention anything irrelevant to. He kept on checking his watch like he had somewhere to be, but still got the message out perfectly.

"You can call me Tadashi, although the chances of our paths crossing is terribly vague."

He walked along the table, hands crossed behind his back in a grave demeanor as papers and pens were placed right in front of the men.

"This is the final set of rules. Take your time, read through and sign at the bottom if you see fit. No one is holding you here so should the rules make you uncomfortable, you are free to get up and leave. Only then can we move on."

They were given time and quiet to read and decide. Tadashi watched the changes in some of their expressions as they fought to school their features. For some people, the rules weren't what they were expecting. And for some, they might have been too much. But they had no idea how Tadashi had made sure the rules were revised over and over until they looked presentable. The originally unchanged rules might have made everyone in the room walk out the door.

He watched as Peter Sulz got up and just walked out. Tadashi nodded subtly. For someone who had looked so confident, it seemed unlikely he'd be the one to leave. But anything could happen.

It was surprisingly Jet who signed his paper first. It was immediately collected from him and taken away, where Tadashi knew it would quickly be laminated and kept. Everyone else seemed to sign one by one after that.

If they had any doubt now, it was too late. It was the nature of the rules. Once you signed them, it was only the Master himself who could let you go.

Tadashi moved.

"Good," he said when everyone had signed. "Now there are papers you've been requested to fill and I take it you've done so. These forms are in no way meant to manipulate you, more so they are to try to make your life more comfortable."

Tadashi held his hand out as the papers were placed in his hands. They contained normal harmless information about everyone. They had filled the papers themselves so it meant that everything they revealed, they were comfortable sharing.
