Hilliard went on to explain, “Usually, women endure a good two to three hours, or sometimes even longer, of labor pains during childbirth. Given your starting point, I’ll be generous and give you a solid hour and a half to copy down these rules. If you have any objections, feel free to speak up.”
Nathan focused on steadying his breath. After a brief pause, he struggled to say, “I mean, I will only endure an hour and a half of labor pain. Lucinda is going to go through twice as much. I have no objections. I’ll do this.”
Nathan’s words caught the attention of the three Simmons brothers in the room, causing them to look up at him.
They admired his self-awareness and determination.
And they recognized him as a truly decent man.
In that moment, Nathan endured excruciating pain, his only desire being to complete the task. The expressions on their faces were the least of his concerns.
With a deep breath, he tried to adjust to the relentless agony.
However, as he started to write, every letter seemed to squirm Like wriggling worms.
The room fell unusually quiet, with only the sound of Nathan’s heavy breath filling the air.
Seeing him tremble and finish writing the first rule, Hilliard pondered that Nathan should acclimate to the level 7 pain before moving up.

Suddenly, the pain in Nathan’s belly intensified without warning, spreading rapidly throughout his entire body.
His trembling grew more violent, causing the words he wrote to slant.
His right hand shook uncontrollably, and he was barely able to hold the pen.
He glanced up at Hilliard, who was sitting next to him.
Hilliard noticed and taunted, “Can’t handle it anymore? You can always quit.”
Graham and Cyrus, sitting across from them, wore somber expressions.
Anyone could talk a big game, but not everyone could really endure serious torture and pain.
Seeing by their reactions, Nathan shook his head and inquired, “I just want to ask if you have any expectations for the handwriting?
It looks awful. If it’s unacceptable, I can rewrite it.”
Hilliard was taken aback, staring at Nathan in disbelief. Clearly, he hadn’t foreseen this question.
“No requirements for handwriting.
You’ll pass as long as you finish,” he responded.
Given the intensity of the pain, it would be nearly impossible for Nathan to complete the task with clear and orderly handwriting.
Although Hilliard intended to test Nathan, he wasn’t entirely devoid of humanity.
