[ He turns the paper over and skims over the questions on the test. The questions were just as expected except he knows close to nothing about the trivia other than really popular ones.
He starts by eating the fries with his left hand while filling out the answers with his right. He uses his left elbow to stop the paper from going everywhere as he writes. His answers are pretty typical with things like "stay calm, don't anger the customer, get the manager when he absolutely has to" etc. He takes a minute's pause on the questions about the fast food and writes what he recalls about them when he ate here--it's been so long. Hopefully it works.
... He's taking his time on the trivia one now. His left hand has never touched the test paper and he's been careful not to spill any fries on it either. ]
Byakuya once more steeples his fingers as he oversees Daisuke taking the test. There's no sign of foul play, he's eating the fries. Maybe he has a chance.]
[ For the trivia section, he just ends up writing a really vague answer: "there are more than 10,000 McDonalds locations in the world" and raises his hand to show that he's finished. He had to put something down for that question... ]
Good. You will receive your grade at a later date. [He still holds it up and takes a look at it.]
But from a preliminary look? You seem to have eaten a fair amount of your fries without getting much grease on the paper, so you may very well earn a passing grade.
[He levels a glance at him.]
The work that we do here might stain our hands and our clothes, but that still should not keep us from doing our work in as a presentable manner as is possible. That is the true purpose of this exam.
[ When Byakuya reveals the purpose of the exam, Daisuke feels enlightened, complete with the :O face. In a way, it feels nice to have the answer revealed at the end and he feels that everything suddenly makes sense!
It's good to hear that he passed, though if he remembers correctly, there's one more test. ]
I see... These are really interesting ways to test people! [ He's taking notes on this creativity. ]
[ Could this be... the fabled leadership skills that are put together nicely?! Daisuke keeps taking mental notes because that kind of trait would be useful to have if he would steel himself one day. He only nods in silence and waits for the third test to be revealed... ]
[ For a second, he wonders if all the employees already knew how to cook the stuff before they were even hired. It doesn't look like he's getting the training for that, so he decides that he needs to wing this. Good thing he knows the basics, but what exactly makes a McDonald's food, well, like McDonald's? It doesn't look like there's any pre-made food for him to simply package either.
[ It slips, because he wanted to sound a little more professional than mentioning "I'll just wing it", but it's too late for that. He gives a short explanation for each machinery that seems important about their basic functions. It's mostly him using common sense, so most of the specifics aren't mentioned. ]
[ AHHH MAYBE HE SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID ANYTHING... Daisuke immediately regrets it, but if there was a bonus test lying in wait anyway, he thinks it's better to get it out of the way. ]
[ He looks relieved, having high hopes that maybe he'll get hired. Daisuke still feels the grease on his hand from eating those fries earlier, so the first trip he'll make is to the bathroom and then home.

It's only natural to come up with tests that work on multiple fronts, if one is to act as a truly capable leader of men.

And now... We should proceed to the final test. Follow me!
[Byakuya leads him to the kitchen.]
The final test is a hands-on one. ...Prepare a happy meal.
no subject
Any kind of happy meal?

He takes a quiet, deep breath. ]
I'll get started.

...Do you know how to operate this machinery?

no subject
...That sounds good enough. Very well, I'll allow you to pass.
no subject
[ He thought he was supposed to actually make a happy meal, so he's just standing here, all confused. ]
no subject
...That, and I can't really allow you to operate the machinery without proper training.
no subject
[ It's all he says as he stands there and looks at the machinery again. It takes a while for it to sink in, but he passed.
He passed all three tests!! The blank look on his face breaks out into a grin. ]
Thank you! That means I passed all of them, right? Unless there's a bonus test...
no subject
Oh, did you mention the bonus test...?
no subject
... Is there really one?
no subject
No. But I appreciate the mind that prepares itself for the unknown. That's a good quality in a McDonalds employee.
no subject
UNTIL
UNTIL...............
Byakuya says there isn't any bonus test. He feels relieved? Yet drained. Very, very drained. He can only let out a small, awkward laugh. ]
Ahaha... thank you very much.
no subject
[He says with a smug nod of his head.]
You'll receive official information about your verdict in an e-mail at a later time.

Good thing the oven wasn't on this time. ]
