Leaves spun outside the walls of the dormitory, blasting on the slightly dotted stones and sliding on them until landing on the ground calmly. Shadows moved on the ground as soldiers began moving from one door to the other, joining in the queue at the assembly ground as they welcod the new recruits for the fourth year.
At the large assembly ground, five hundred n and won, dressed in outfits of various kinds, stood there, holding sheets in their arms as they focused on the tall man standing at the podium, wrapping his arms tightly around the black microphone.
On the white-colored pulpit, Lieutenant Gray stood there, dressed in a black robe that stretched long like a bride’s veil, falling on the ground on which his black boot with a tiny red line at its base stood.
"Welco, people from different areas, cities, and villages. We welco you to the twentieth recruitnt. You’re here in Bion City for one thing and one thing only: to train, fight, help, save, and protect others no matter the state you’d find yourself in," he said, pulling the microphone from its stand and tightening his grip around it as he moved two steps away from the pulpit.
"Here, there is only one rule: never give up. However, you may face trials that can end your life even before it begins; strive and survive to the end. You are many, but not all of you will be out of this year’s training alive!"
Gray moved toward the pulpit, placed the microphone down, and stepped down into the queue of young n and young won, scanning them with wild eyes. Though he hadn’t seen them taking part in any trial or training yet, he saw so strange spirit in almost fifty percent of both the young n and won.
After thirty minutes of walking through and carefully scanning them, he moved a hundred people out and told them to go back to where they ca from.
Though it wasn’t an easy thing to do—to go back to the sa parents or family and tell them you’ve been sacked on the first day of recruitnt, not even the ti the first trial had started.
Overall, Gray knew those hundred people would’ve just been a nuisance to both those ready and eager to enter with all their hearts and those who already seed prepared for the job ahead.
The mont Lieutenant Gray walked out of the assembly, he saw Kinji holding Kai’s hands as they walked out of Kai’s room. Peculiar joy surged in him so hard it tore a smile on his lips, and when they stopped beside him, he looked at Kinji first, then tilted his gaze to Kai, who was already looking at Gray with a confused face.
...
"Sir," Kinji said, turning and pointing toward Kai, then left Kai and Gray in the hallway and joined all the soldiers walking toward the assembly door, going to welco the new recruits and give them all the necessary information they thought would be best for them to survive.
Gray looked at Kai, smiled, then pulled a smart device from his pocket and dialed a number with the na Clara written boldly on it. When the person on the other end answered the call, he gestured toward Kai, walked to the window’s angle, and stood there for minutes talking and laughing.
Although Kai wasn’t hearing what the man was saying, judging by the man’s movents, Kai sohow knew the man was happy seeing him, yet he couldn’t understand why.
’Where are these people all going?’ Kai thought as he walked toward the door that all the other n dressed in military uniforms had walked in, opened it, and scanned through the four hundred people greeting each other with a handshake from a distance. When he spotted soone staring back at him, smiling, Kai jolted his head back, closed the door, leaned on the wall, and waited for the man making a call.
After ten minutes, Gray walked toward Kai, smiled, and gestured as he began walking out of the large building and stepping outside the building. The sun shone brightly on his forehead, causing Gray to cover his face slightly, yet tiny rays seeped through the lines in his fingers and still scorched him.
For Kai, he simply followed the man, using the man’s height as a shade as he continuously followed him, letting his form vanish and remain behind the man.
And when they reached the entrance of the hospital that had been crossed with tapes, Gray moved them slightly, letting Kai enter after he’d entered and already opened the door.
The mont they entered, people taking and taking samples from the walls dressed with cloths that kept on bleeding smoke welcod them. All eyes fell on them as they kept on moving forward toward a door with the sa tape crossed on it.
’Why are they looking at like that?’ Kai thought, tilting his gaze and watching all the young n staring at him as if they were seeing a ghost or sothing much more horrific than that.
"Kai, co," Gray said, turning and pointing at the boy, who was now totally confused hearing the na he’d heard and seen in his recent dream.
He tilted his gaze sideways, checking to see if he would find soone moving, but saw no one, and in that manner, he knew nothing of the na but knew he was the one being called. Though he had rembered Kinji, he hadn’t rembered everything fully, not even his own na.
All that he rembered being referred to him was "the monster."
Gray stretched his hand, raised the ergency tapes, and on the second ti allowed the boy to enter the room he’d just opened its door.
Kai, who rembered nothing of the room, walked in calmly, stopped, and began turning around, scanning the claws on the wall.
For ten minutes, he and the man who’d brought him there stood in the room without saying a word or hearing a word from him, yet Kai didn’t complain of being fed up or wanting to go back.
"Do you rember being at this place?" Gray said, stepping forward and screeching his fingers slightly above the claws on the wall.
Kai, who still couldn’t rember, stood there confused, stared at the man, and then shook his head. And when he saw the man sighing in disapproval and brushing his left hand on his face, he started to force his mind to rember sothing.
And for an extra twenty minutes, he couldn’t, though within the last five minutes of the twenty minutes, he began to rember sowhere that looked the sa as the room, but it wasn’t the sa.
...
Gray and Kai walked out of the room and out of the hospital the sa way they had entered, and even as they left, the stares continuously followed them like arrows pinned at enemies.
The mont Kai tilted his gaze from the n still staring at him, reaching the entrance and exiting, he spotted the nurse who had been with him for days standing at the entrance, her arms crossed at her chest.
She quickly walked toward Gray, leaned in, and he saw her lips moving. Though he wasn’t close, he strangely began to hear all that she said to the man and knew how to answer her when she moved from the man and began walking toward him.
"Kai," she said, spreading her arms as she closed in on the boy, who then stood there confused.
’Why are they referring to with the na I saw?’ he thought, frowning slightly and allowing himself to be hugged by the lady. Though he was a bit confused and angry at the sa ti, he didn’t let them see, since the man kept on staring at him and smiling.
