As silent as they possibly could be, they just watched the zombie walk around, the fact that the zombie didn't seem to mind the door opening and closing already gave them a hint. Maybe it doesn't hear that well, but just because it doesn't seem like it should not make it okay to talk. Noah was glad no one said anything. That could have led it right to them. Noah looked at Zenix and then Loraine. Loraine held both hands high, as to say you can let go now. So Noah nodded at Zenix. He got the hint and let go. Shortly after that, the door they came from opened again, and out came Frederick. He was just about to say something and saw the zombie. With a shocked face, he looked like he was going to scream but was stopped by both Zenix and Loraines' hands. Disgusted, he slapped those away. The zombie didn't seem to hear that either. Panicked Frederick turned around and tried to go through the door again, only to realize it was locked. That gave them another hint. The door could be opened from one side only.
Then Frederick seemed to have a plan as he looked at Loraine. He grabbed her arm and threw her at the zombie, then he ran to where the zombie came from and escaped. The zombie was sniffing, and as he finally found the source, it walked to Loraine Noah and Zenix reacted quickly as they ran in front of Loraine and kicked that thing off her. The zombie landed on the ground and sniffed around again. Seem like this time it was attracted by the smell of Zenix. So it slowly walked toward him. Noah looked at Loraine and signaled to her, that she should go to the door. Loraine nodded frantically and silently walked to the door where Frederick just run out of. Noah was then with Zenix, wanting to hold up the zombie.

The room was empty, so they didn't even have anything to defend themselves with. Only their physical ability could help them now, at least until the two ability users would come out. So they endured, even though they were also pretty tired from the second test. They did their best not to get injured and try to make the zombie butter at the same time. They cooperated perfectly, and when Zenix seemed to get tired, Noah would take over and the same vice versa. It felt like hours of fighting before the next who finished the test came out. It was the little girl, Jasmine, with an ability. They didn't know what it was but hoped she could help them.
Jasmine just shook her head at them, and then they began to hear a child's voice in their head, "I am sorry to disappoint, but I can read minds and telepathy. I can not help you take it down. It doesn't even have thoughts." While they changed again, Zenix took over beating the zombie, pushing it back, and hoping it would finally be enough. Noah saw Jasmine's face full of regret.
Noah just thought, 'There's a door to from your point of view to the zombies, right? Go through it. We don't know what is over there since it is just dark. But it should be the way out.'

Jasmine nodded at them thankfully and ran to the door, too. After some time of fighting again, Hannah walked to the test room.
She saw the zombie and yelled to the two boys, "GET DOWN!"
The two complied and fell to the floor, hands on their head. Above them came a freezing breeze, and when they looked up, the zombie was encased in ice.
They stood up, looked at Hannah, and from one mouth, they said, "Thank you."
Full of relief they said to Hannah, "It is this door, and then we are probably out." Hannah was confused because she thought it couldn't have been this easy. Unless she and Jasmine got different tests and times, they should complete it. The three walked through the next door and saw Frederick and Loraine dead on the floor. Jasmine was running around, evading every zombie that came her way. There were about five zombies, each of them fast and with some kind of intelligence. It was like those zombies Noah and Jay fought before. This room was a long rectangular room, and on the floor were weapons. Or rather weapon-like.

Like a few broom spears, some long pipes, and so on. What stood out though was that at the end of the room were real swords. Like the medieval kind of swords. That was at the end of the hall though, between those swords and them five crystal aplified zombies. Hannah sent an ice spear toward the two zombies that were right behind Jasmine. Both of the zombies led their eyes on Hannah and the other three seemed to get the hint at the same time as the spear hit the two zombies.
'Like they have their own telepathy,' Noah thought to himself. Jasmine nodded as she walked to the end of the room, picking up three swords. Those three swords in her arms she made her way to the three that the zombies were fast walking to. Hannah tried to freeze them all in one go, but two of them burned all of a sudden. Transforming the ice that they were in into water. Zenix and Noah tried to kick them but they had more force than they both recond, it was nothing against them. The zombie swung his arm and Noah dodged under it taking a pipe he had been looking at. He stood up behind the zombie and went for the head. A hollow noise followed, and the neck swung sixty degrees to the right. Not even a second after he hit the zombie another wanted to attack him from behind, Zenix showed up and stabbed through that head with the broom spear.
