"We will begin the tests with a combat simulation against robots specially built for this occasion. I want to remind you that injuries are highly probable, so I urge you to read the document that will be handed out to you in detail and sign it. If you have any questions, I will answer them," Robot said.

Suddenly, Eve raised her hand, and in the air in front of each participant, a sheet of paper and a pen were created.

Some participants easily took the objects, while others were more clumsy, either almost tripping or ending up picking them up once they fell to the ground.

They didn't know it, but Mark watched all this along with Robot. In fact, the tests had already begun. If you couldn't even take a piece of paper and a pen a few inches from you, then probably trusting the world's safety in your hands would be a very bad idea.

Even so, they wouldn't be discarded instantly; they simply had some points deducted.

Sarah looked at the paper she thought would just be a disclaimer but was actually more than that. While it stated that the GDA and its associates would not be held responsible for any unexpected "death," it actually covered any injury that could be obtained during the tests, paid for medical expenses, and even provided personal care at the GDA's private hospital.

Still, it was made clear that any possible accident was accepted by the participant, of course, all in legal jargon that, although somewhat complicated, was still easy to understand.

she couldn't help but get her boyfriend's attention by elbowing him in the side.

"What do you think, Kid?" The blonde man with a large long-handled hammer on his back smiled slightly at her and nodded.

"Everything seems in order; we should sign it." Sarah nodded; at least the injury benefits were quite decent. Not that they needed them, but it spoke well of their new potential employers that they didn't wash their hands of those who might fail.

Sarah took off one of the boxing gloves on her hands, feeling some of her strength temporarily fade. The gloves were incredible, but one of their major drawbacks was not being able to write or do things that require delicate manual work.

Fortunately, they didn't need a table to sign the paper; somehow, the sheet was hard enough. Eve had made them that way on purpose, preventing them from crumpling, and later she could modify them again to have the texture of normal paper.

Glory looked at the paper with a frown. She had barely arrived in the world of men, and although she could read and write in Greek, this was a language she didn't know. Amazon magic only included the ability to speak and understand any language upon hearing it, but not to write or read it...

She discreetly glanced from the corner of her eye, trying to figure out what to do. It seemed that something needed to be written on the sheet.

"Your name." The voice made her blink, and she had to look down to find the source, finding herself looking at that strange girl who had spoken earlier.

"Do I have something on my face? Never mind, you need to write your name, here," she said, pointing to a part of the paper.

"Oh," how was 'Glory' written in this language?

Maybe seeing her doubt, the girl sighed and wrote it simply on her arm.

"Just copy this," she pointed to her arm, and Glory smiled gratefully.

"Thanks, little one." That comment seemed to irritate her as she heard her click her tongue.

"Listen, tough girl, never call me little, and we'll be fine, got it?"
